Leo's POV

Leo awoke to the sounds of clanging on metal, the hiss of blazing hot rods being dipped in water, and the sounds of one son of Hephaestus tossing a rock at a bird screaming,

"HOLY HEPHAESTUS WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP!"

Leo hadn't realized how much he had missed waking up at camp. Well, just the fact that he was sleeping in a bed was comforting enough.

It had been a week since he had come back with Calypso, and something was different.

She had been so happy to be with him when he came, but since one night a few days ago, she had stopped coming to visit him. He rarely saw her outside her cabin, and when she did, she turned her back to him and kept herself busy.

It was like Ogygia again.

Just more embarrassing.

He walked out of the cabin to see if he could catch her by her cabin.

She had shut herself out from him again, and he couldn't help but look at her from afar.

Really, she was just the same as she was on Ogygia; well, minus the pot projectiles and all.

As Leo walked down the dirt path, the camp was buzzing with activity. The Demeter kids claimed they had been awake since sunrise, tending the fields and promoting their eco-campaign. Children of Hermes guffawed as they ran down the path lugging sacks of stolen items, the Ares kids close behind them chasing them as they waved their spears screaming death threats. Finally, Leo had arrived at the empty cabin in which Calypso had made her home. Through the window he could see a little pot with a magenta flower in it sitting on the windowsill. It was the same flower that Leo saw growing in Ogygia. He could barely make out Calypso's silhouette through the dusty window. He dusted off his orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and gently pushed the door open.

"Calypso?"

"I'm over here…" came a frail voice from the bed.

That wasn't Calypso's voice.

Calypso wasn't being Calypso-y at all.

Leo's POV

Calypso was sitting up in the bed, her covers still over her legs. Her elbows rested on her knees and her head was in the palms of her hands. Leo shut the door and sat next to her. Her eyes were worn out and weary, the skin on her face was sticky, and her fingers trembled.

"You've been crying," Leo said. Calypso sniffled.

Way to comfort a crying girl, Mr. Smooth Moves.

If there was an instruction manual on 'How to Make a Crying Girl Stop' he'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, there isn't such a book. Calypso was like a delicate machine. If you break or take away any part of her, she was sure to explode.

"So… You wanna…" Leo said awkwardly. Calypso squeezed her eyes shut and looked away from him, clenching her hands into tight fists. It was quite clear that she wanted to be alone and was prepared to go into freak out mode. Leo scanned the room for possible things the girl could use as deadly projectiles. The good thing was she had no ammo to fire at him. She exhaled and pointed a finger at an hourglass on her dresser. Leo picked up the hourglass and examined it. It was clearly damaged, scratches here and there, "What? The hourglass? I can fix it," Calypso immediately turned to him and shook her head furiously.

Were they playing a game of charades of something? Leo thought`` to himself as he watched Calypso make hand gestures and actions with her arms. He stared dumbly at the girl, feeling more embarrassed than ever, until he realized she was telling him to read a piece of paper that was sitting next to the hourglass. He picked up the tiny sheet of paper and read the words.

And then it became clear why she was acting like this.

Author's Note

Idk i feel like Uncle Rick right now.

"You seem to like Calypso a lot...

I've been reading all those sweet fanfics...

Wouldn't it be such a shame if she...

WAS CURSED AGAIN?"

MWAHAHAHAHHA!

Geez, what has gotten into me, I don't know.

Tbh i feel like Calypso is going a little OOC. I hope i'm keeping up the Leo thing good. He needs to be sassier but i'm not sassy at all. That's really not helping.

And GODS OF OLYMPUS guys, I am not evil! XD

All of yous have been reviewing "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CALYPSO?!"

I'm not evil, that's just how you write a story. XP

Please leave reviews on what you think!
