Leo's Burning Heart

I dont own PJO or HOO. Characters are from Rick Riordan. Don't worry, there will defiantly be alot of Caleo action!

Chapter 1

Leo stared at the blank, dull wall fiddling with one of his gadgets. He sat there in front of his desk all alone in Bunker 9. The only sounds were the noises of clacking metal and steam escaping from pipes along the ceiling. The little machine in his palms started to smoke and burn. Leo just glared at it with disappointment. Frustrated, he threw his creation on the floor, watching it shatter into little pieces. With a sigh he plopped down onto his chair.

Everything he's been making malfunctioned somehow. When Camp Half-Blood's fountain broke, he couldn't even bare to touch it without breaking down inside. Too many memories flooded his brain. He even failed at fixing a shovel. Ever since the end of the War, Leo couldn't focus on anything. He's happy that Gaea was destroyed and the Roman/Greek war was over, but he wasn't as pleased like all the rest.
Practically every day since the battle he has been hiding away from the others. Jason, Piper, Annabeth, and even Percy tried helping him with his little depression, but nothing they say made him feel better.

Before he knew it, he already began on another project in his hands. Leo realized it looks like girl. Copper wires made up her hair. Oval nails were used as eyes. She looked almost like…

Leo dropped it from his grasp and shot fire at it until it became a puddle of melted metal.

"Calypso-" Leo whispered as he dropped to his knees and buried his face into his hands. He waited for the tears to come, but nothing emerged from his eyes.

Calypso. A girl who was sent heroes who had to leave because of their responsibilities. Calypso. The girl who both fell in love with them and got her heart shattered by them. Calypso. The girl Leo loved. Memories of their short, few days together flooded his head. It felt so long ago when he crash landed on Ogygia and met her. Leo missed her long, ginger-colored hair, almond shaped eyes, and that sweet cinnamon and wood smoke smell.
He remembered what he promised when he got of that island. Those dangerous words haunted him ever since he said them. He swore on the river Styx that he will free her. And he would keep that promise.
With determination, Leo got up. He shall not waist this precious time mourning. Leo walked over to the head of Festus, his giant machine dragon. He managed to save Fetus's head (again) from the Argo II when it crash landed in Camp Half-Blood, but he got really damaged. Thankfully Piper made him permanently alive with her charm speak. The camp was still under a lot of construction after the war. Cabins got burnt and smashed into pieces. Camp Half-Blood lost a lot of brave demi-gods during the fight with the Romans.

Leo examined the dented head of his dragon. Festus's eyes slowly opened.
"Hey boy," Leo said, patting the cool metal of the giant head.
Click whir. Festus used Morse code to talk to Leo. The same language Leo used with his mom. Leo placed his hand in between Festus's eyes.
"I'm going to build you another body no matter how long it takes."
