Anyway, back to the story! Please read, review, and enjoy. Just a small head's up: This chapter may contain some percalypso...so again, bare with me, please! =)

Light.

That's all I saw.

A bright, glowing, flash of light.

"Percy," A whisper sounded softly, followed by gentle laughter.

"Percy," It repeated, the sound of the voice filling the emptiness inside of me with peace.

The voice of an angel.

Slowly an image formed in front of me.

It was a girl. She looked small, around 5 or 6 years old.

She ran through the open space laughing happily.

A dress fitted her, coming down to her chubby white knees.

Her laughter sounded better than the ocean's echo's.

Without warning, the girl tripped and hit the floor; face first.

A feeling of fear struck me hard; like the all the wind was blown out of me in a punch.

But, she simply laughed again. Ignoring her fall, and standing up to continue her path.

Relief, was the next sensation that greeted me.

For a 6 year, she was brave.

I watched her skip forward happily, until her image became smaller and smaller, and she faded in the light.

The next thing I saw was someone walking slowly; hands by their side.

It was… the same girl. I could just tell.

She was older. Around my age, but maybe a couple of inches taller.

Her steps were slow and short. She walked blankly; her face expressionless as if she didn't have a destination. As if she was sad, left out, lonely…

Negative emotions filled me.

The girl stopped as she approached the center of my view. Her back towards me.

Nothing but bright, blinding, white light surrounding her.

She wore a beautiful, yet absolutely simple, silken white gown. Her bare feet shifted as she turned around and to reveal her full face.

It felt like she was staring right at me, her eyes piercing into mine.

Time ticked slowly as she stared.

Then, in a second of what seemed like sudden realization, she smiled.

My heart jumped.

Her smile had seemed to scare the negative emotions right out of me. I felt surrounded by the calming scent of fresh roses.

"Percy," I heard the whisper of my name again. It was the girls voice, and there was absolutely no question about it, but her lips didn't move.

Come to think of it; she hadn't moved at all, but gradually it seemed like she was getting closer. I could see her face more clearly.

I felt calm and alive. As if I was swimming in the freezing ocean water on a humid day.

The girls eyes were still piercing through me with deep, gentle, meaning.

"Percy,"

Her skin was fair. Flawless and fragile.

The smile fixed on her was mesmerizing . I felt like I would forget all my problems and fears just by looking at it. A shade of natural light pink filled her lips.

My eyes moved down her figure and set on her gown. It was floating around her, as if she were underwater. Her soft golden streaked blonde hair floated the same way.

She was…perfect. There was no other way to describe it. You could have put a halo over her head, and gave her wings. She was an angel.

"Percy,"

I looked back at her face, now paying attention to something I felt like I was saving for last. Her eyes.

They were big and full of life.

They were….they were…gray.

Suddenly, her hand reached out.

My heart sped.

I tried to reach, but absolutely nothing happened. I couldn't see myself. I wasn't there. I felt chained.

This time her lips moved as she whispered, "Seaweed Brain,"

I woke up.

My cabin was dark with dim light peaking through the curtains.

I sat upright and took a breath.

The cabin was cold, as if someone had purposely been trying to turn it into a freezer.

Shifting my legs out of the covers, I sat on the edge of my bed.

Butterflies were racing through my stomach, my heart pounding.

It seemed like the image in my dream flashed in my mind every time I blinked; the beautiful girl who appeared as an angel in my dream.

The girl was Annabeth.

As much as I wanted to, I couldn't deny that.

With that sudden conclusion, fear crawled up my stomach and my heart thumped.

This was the first time I had had a dream like this.

It was the first time I hadn't seen a disturbing dream related to Kronos; so that was a plus. But for some reason, this dream had me shaken up worse than any other dream I'd ever had before.

I stood up abruptly, breaking my thoughts. I didn't want to think about what my dream meant, or how it had me feeling. I guess…I was just scared to come to an conclusion.

It was hard, but I distracted myself. Pulling open the curtains, the morning sunrise appeared in front of me.

It was early dawn, and I wondered why it was so cold this morning.

Freshening up and calming myself as best as I could; I pulled a cozy white sweatshirt over my head and stepped outside.

As I exhaled, white fog filled the air, I could see my breath.

Most of the campers were sound asleep in their beds.

The others were on duty, keeping their guard.

Two more weeks had passed.

Our camp was at a very strong status. We all knew our positions and had numerous plans prepared. Like I said, we weren't ever going to be completely ready, but we were as ready for an attack from Kronos as we would ever get.

---Star Things---

"It's colder outside," Chiron said as we sat down on a table, in the big house.

I nodded, "I thought the borders weakening was only temporary."

"Yes, child," Chiron looked into the flames dancing wildly in the fire place, "We can still hope that it is only temporary. I have faith that our borders will heal."

"So we just wait?"

Chiron chuckled, "Is there anything else we can do?"

I twisted Riptides cap, fidgeting around with it in my hand. "It's been two months. There hasn't been a single sign of kronos. How do we know he's really even coming? What if we're just wasting our time?"

"We might be," Chiron's face serious.

Without realizing, I accidentally flung Riptides cap open, and the bronze sword enlarged barley a centimeter away from my face. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. We were exhausting ourselves and preparing for kronos, and he might not even show up. It wasn't right. Nothing was. I had never meant for all of this to happen just because of one stupid, wrong move that I had made without thinking.

Taking my eyes off Chiron, I recapped Riptide, "So," I said changing the gloomy mood, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Actually, my boy, I meant to talk to you about something," Chiron's sudden soft, but firm, tone told me he was serious.

"Yeah?"

"There is only a month left."

I knew what he was saying. A month left till my sixteenth birthday.

"Percy, I'm not sure how the prophecy works, but you must be ready." He told me.

"I know that."

"I understand that it must be incredibly hard," Chiron rolled the wheels on his chair, slowly making his way in front of the fire place, "to have such a burden on you're shoulders, my boy."

The flames lit up one side of his face, and for the first time I wondered how Chiron might have felt about everything. Chiron, after all, was the one who had received the prophecy. He had been around for millions of years, and now suddenly Kronos was rising. For the first time, I could see how much he resented his father.

"You're different, Percy," Chiron continued, "just as I told you that once at Yancy Academy as Mr. Bruner. You've grown up greatly since then, my boy. You've become an amazing sword fighter. The sea is now your ally."

Chiron diverted his eyes from the flames, "and I have no doubt that you will find ways to handle the prophecy, Percy. You must get ready."

"How?"

Chiron sighed, "I don't know, my boy. But...prepare yourself."

---Star Things---

The morning had set in, and breakfast passed.

I was in the sword Arena, dueling Connor when the door opened and a cold breeze flew across the arena.

I caught Connor off guard for a second as I stepped forward thrusting my entire weight on my sword, bringing it down against his.

He barley managed to sidestep at the last second, avoiding Riptides full pressure. I stepped back and slashed again. Connor blocked.

Our swords sparked with a few more clashes till I side stepped one on Connors moves and quickly struck at the middle of his sword before he could recover.

Connor's sword clattered to across the floor.

"Dang, Percy," Connor laughed, wiping his forehead with a towel, "I swear you're getting better with Riptide by the second."

I smiled, "Thanks, man. You've gotten a lot better, yourself."

Another breeze flew through the room; we seemed to recall the door opening earlier and we both looked towards the entrance.

Standing in the doorway was none other than Annabeth. Her face was serious as if she had been watching our duel intently.

Annabeth and I looked at each other and for a second a snippet of my dream flashed in my head; Annabeth's smiling form floating in front of me.

I shook out of my thoughts, and offered Annabeth an unsure smile. "How long have you been there?"

Two long weeks had passed since Annabeth had decided to start talking to me again. Two weeks since I had heard her and Calypso talking, and I guess, everything had sunk in since then.

Annabeth closed the door and walked forward, "Not long."

I capped Riptide.

Me and Annabeth had pretty much just been walking around each other these past weeks. When we ran into each other by fate, we exchanged a few words trying to act like everything was normal. But that was pretty much it. Nothing was normal.

"You guys look exhausted," Annabeth said, not really looking at either of us.

"Been training since breakfast was over," Connor said walking across the arena to pick up his sword.

Annabeth unsheathed her bronze dagger. "But you're not too tired for another quick match against me, right?" She smiled.

I noted how she directed the question towards Connor. I knew she wasn't intentionally trying to avoid me, and I didn't blame her.

Connor smirked at Annabeth, "No way. I might not be able to beat Percy, but you're on."

They faced each other.

"Hey, I'll see you guys," I told them before they started.

"You're not gonna watch?" Connor said.

"No, I'll just catch up with you guys later," I said half heartedly.

The truth was that I didn't know what to do just standing there. It seemed like the more I looked at Annabeth, the more I was reminded of my dream this morning...and the more butterflies filled my stomach. I had to get my mind off of it.

I stuffed my hands in my sweatshirt pockets as the wind welcomed me outside.

Walking across the battle ground, where campers were positioned with their weapons raised on guard, I neared the big house.

It seemed like my feet always led me there when I had nothing better to do.

I had memorized the path to Calypso's room and I retraced it as I found myself in her doorway.

She laid on the bed with her silken lavender dress spread around her.

I was about to enter and greet her, when I heard a melodious sound. I realized that Calypso was singing.

Her voice was too hushed to make out the words, but the hum itself sounded better than a chorus of violins.

I leaned against the doorway, just staring at her, and listening…

Her amazing voice seemed to make me feel…I don't know…happy.

I remembered hearing her tranquil voice only once before, in Ogygia.

Calypso was staring out of the window. Her eyes acknowledging the outdoors as if it were paradise.

A long time passed, before I finally stepped forward.

Calypso's voice faded as she noticed me.

"Keep singing," I smiled.

She returned it, "You really need to give me warnings when you visit me, my brave one."

I walked over and clicked open the window. A cool breeze filled the room, and wind playfully brought Calypso's hair in her eyes.

She brushed it behind her ear, staring out the window silently. I could tell how happy she was to feel fresh air on her skin.

"You really miss the outside, don't you?" I said.

Calypso took in a breath, "Yes, a little," she admitted.

"You know," I walked towards her, "I could take you out there."

For a second her eyes lit up in a hopeful manner, but were quickly contained. "You know that I can't walk, Percy," she said quietly.

The more I looked at her, the more my heart sank. This was all my fault. She didn't deserve any of this.

"You don't have to," I said, gently helping her into an upright position.

I probably shouldn't have been doing this. Chiron had told me two weeks ago that Calypso was in more pain than she let us know. She needed rest. But, I wanted to make her happy. The least I could do was give her the pleasure of going outside.

Calypso managed to slide her feet out of bed and stand. She leant on me heavily.

"You okay?" I concerned as she made an effort to move.

"Yes," She cautiously stepped forward, almost falling, and I steadied her.

"You sure you can walk?"

Slowly I helped her make it across the room. "Yes, I'm fine."

"Calypso," I said making her look me in the eye. I knew how much pain she was in. "Look, I can get you there…just hold on. "

Without letting Calypso speak I lifted her into my grip and made my way out of the big house.

"Percy," She yelped holding onto me.

She was heavy, but I managed. I was determined to treat Calypso to at least one day of pleasure.

"You're going to love the place in camp, where I'm taking you." I told her.

She didn't protest, she trusted me.

I gently settled Calypso down when I was satisfied with our location; the strawberry fields.

Calypso gasped quietly, looking around, "This is amazing."

"Told you," I smiled, taking a seat next to her on the grass.

We sat there. I watched Calypso admire the gardening of the strawberries.

"It's not as amazing as your garden back in Ogygia, but…it's the closest thing we have here at camp." I continued telling her how we sold strawberries to pay for our camp funding, and she listened closely as if she liked hearing me talk.

It was pretty cold, though the sun was shining down on us. It made Calypso hair appear a shade of glorious brown.

We were laughing, when a couple of Aphrodite campers walked by. They were talking and whispering amongst themselves. Then suddenly, upon sight of Calypso, they're faces straightened, as if they were scared, and they silently walked by.

Calypso stared after them.

"Ignore them," I told her.

"The campers here," Calypso looked down at her hands tangled in the green grass, "They don't like me, do they?"

"No it's not that," I said . I wished there was a way to explain it, "It's just that...well, they don't know you. I mean...they've heard you're legends, and I guess, its like a really big deal that you're here right now."

Calypso nodded quietly. Half smiling for my sake.

Silence filled the air for a minute.

"Calypso," I said.

"Hmm?" She looked up

"You know...there's been a lot of talk about you being a...Titan."

I didn't mean it to, but the last word rolled of my tongue resentfully.

Calypso stared at me, her eyes almost big. "What?"

"I mean, Calypso, they think you're a Titan. You know...like evil. Against the gods."

Calypso didn't say anything. She stared in front of her, deep in thought.

"You're…" I blinked, "you're not against the gods, right?"

A long time passed before she answered, "They're the ones who sent me to my punishment, weren't they?"

I stared at her. "But, they're also the ones who freed you, Calypso. They-"

"You freed me," She said. "They did it as your wish, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but..." I turned my body more towards her, "The gods…they're the good ones. They keep this world going. I mean…the Titans don't want anything but power."

I let her think. I knew she was already tangled, and I was sorry about putting a bigger load on her mind.

"Percy, I would never betray… you," She said softly. "I have no wish to go against the gods. I won't harm anyone."

"But, you're not in favor of the Titans, right?" I pressed on just a little farther, my tone soft.

"Percy...I don't know…I'm not-"

"They're evil." I spit out, unable to stop myself.

Calypso hesitated.

"Just because they're you're family," I said, "it doesn't mean they were good to you."

Calypso looked at me suddenly, "Percy, are the gods good to you?"

I fell silent. That was something I had never thought about before. More than half of the gods wanted to kill me. Were they good to me?

"I have no wish to argue with you, my brave one." Calypso said, eyes pleading, "Please, Percy, just-....I need to think."

I met her eyes. I understood what Calypso must have been going through. The look on her face, that she tried hard to hide, was nothing but sorrow, confusion, and hurt.

Did she really consider them family? Was she scared that if she betrayed the Titans, they would hurt her? A tinge of anger ran through me, but it quickly drowned down into sympathy for Calypso.

My look softened. "Alright," I said, "I didn't mean to confuse you. I'm sorry. Let's just enjoy the fresh air."

Calypso smiled, thankfully.

We continued talking. It was strange. As I talked to her, I realized just how little we knew about each other.

"So this is really the camp you told me about," Calypso acknowledged looking around.

"You haven't even seen half of it, " I promised, "There's a lot more I need to show you."

I looked at her and added, "When you get better...and I promise that you will."

We shared a smile.

"You guys definitely seem powerful. Is it always like this? Are you guys always ready and keeping watch for monsters?" Calypso asked.

"Not exactly..." I explained, "There are magical borders that keep all the monsters and weather out."

"I know. Hermes had mentioned it to me once." She looked at me, "But, Percy, then why are you guys preparing? If the monster won't enter, then what's they worry?"

I was pretty surprised. Calypso was really smart to have noticed something unusual about camp.

I stared in front of me. I hadn't told Calypso about the weakening borders or kronos possible invasion yet.

"And the weather..." Calypso continued, "I feel it. I thought..."

I turned to Calypso and took a breath. "Since you got here…the camp borders have been weakening."

I slowly explained about the fates unbalancing due to her presence in the real world. I knew it was a lot for her to take in.

"And, we're preparing, because while the borders are weak...Kronos," I glanced up to see how she'd react to the Titans name, "…he could possibly take this chance to invade."

Explaining wasn't as hard as I thought. Calypso knew most of the details about kronos reforming in a mortals body thanks to her visits from Hermes.

As I finished, Calypso silently stared down. My heart sank.

"Calypso," I said softly, "None of this is your fault. I promise."

She looked at me as if the only thing she wanted to do was believe it.

"Kronos is really powerful, isn't he?" Calypso asked me.

I nodded. "Pretty much."

I could feel Calypso growing more uncomfortable. It felt like she was scared.

"Calypso," I said. It took a second but she looked at me. I held her gaze. "No matter how powerful he is, I swear...I won't let anyone ever hurt you."

The scary thing; I meant it. I had took Calypso off her island and thrown her into the real world. This was all because of me, and I had no choice but to step forward and take responsibility for her.

The milky almond color in Calypso's eyes deepened, and I could never explain it but I looked away. The look in her eyes, made me feel…uncomfortable.

"Don't promise me anything like that, my brave one." Calypso said.

I wanted to respond…but I help back. I didn't need our conversation to deepen anymore than it already had.

"Okay," I laughed lightning the air, "Just forget about all that for now."

Somehow, we very quickly found ourselves laughing again. It felt nice to take a break from all the stress.

Though, if I were being completely honest, I couldn't tell you that I felt a hundred percent free and happy. It seemed like there was something in the back of my mind that kept sending butterflies through my stomach. It was the same…guilt. I did my very best to ignore the feeling that was holding me back. I wanted to stay true to Calypso.

The sun shown down, and wind blew, as we continued talking.

"Yeah, but didn't you ever bump into them? I mean, if I had to live with invisible servants it would be chaos."

Calypso laughed freely. It was nice to see her happy.

I continued joking, and Calypso laughed.

The sun was setting in, and the sky looked bright orange.

As I shifted, my hand accidentally landed on top of Calypso's.

Our eyes immediately seemed to glance at each other. Calypso's laughter slowly faded as she stared back at me.

A electrifying current passed between our eyes along with a type of intense silence.

I felt suddenly nervous. I wanted to move my hand back, but it seemed offending. I probably could have laughed, breaking the awkward silence, but for some reason I didn't...I couldn't.

My eyes were held to Calypso like a magnet. I felt like I could read every detail in her sparkling brown eyes. New kinds of butterflies greeted my stomach.

I was very aware of our shoulders pressing against each other. I could smell the enchanted scent of moon lace drifting off of her.

Memories flooded me. I remembered the way we would lay under the stars talking in Ogygia. The way we would sit across from each other and have dinner, and when I found myself lost just staring at her. The way it felt when our hand touched while we would plan moon lace together. I remembered how much I had missed her.

"You know," Calypso whispered, and I realized just how close her face was to mine. The next thing she said made my heart skip a beat, "I really do love you."

My eyes widened. It wasn't the first time she had said something like this to me, but again, it took me a long time to take in what she had just said.

But when it did sink in, my heart was racing as if I had just ran a mile non stop. I could feel my mouth slightly open. It was as if my brain was experiencing a technical jam. My eyes were big as they stared back at Calypso.

I had absolutely no idea what to say. Calypso face was dangerously close to mine, and thoughts went at war inside me.

Everything was happening in a heartbeat when I felt Calypso face get closer and closer.
I needed to know how I felt. I needed to be sure. At the time I wasn't thinking, and I allowed myself to get closer.

We leaned.

There was barley a centimeter of space left between our lips, before we were interrupted.

An urgent voice was suddenly heard, "Percy! Percy!"

I pulled away, fast.

It took me a second to focus, but I realized quickly that the voice belonged to Grover.
He must have been running toward me at full speed, but he suddenly seemed to slow down. Now approaching us while looking surprised...almost shocked.

I felt my face burning. My empathy link with Grover didn't help the feeling I had that told me Grover had just happened to see that last scene between me and Calypso.

His surprise turned into a smirk. "Um...I'm sorry. Was I...interrupting something?"

I was sure that my face resembled the shade of the red strawberries around me.

"What is it, Grover?" I said through half gritted teeth. My look pleading and hard.

He took the message. "Right, sorry." Then, his face turned serious. "Percy, Listen. I'm not sure what's happening, but there's some kind of …weird, huge, pack of monsters right outside camp. I think-"

He was interrupted by Annabeth's voice. She was jogging toward us urgently, and then she slowed at sight of me and Calypso.

My heart pounded. I watched carefully, as she stopped by Grover's side. Her deep gray eyes staring at me, then shifting to look at Calypso by my side. Her expression hardening.

Wind blew through Annabeth's hair, and I'm not sure how long we all held our positions.

"Um…guys," Grover stepped forward, breaking the silence. "We need to hurry. I have a really bad feeling about this."

I stood up.

"Percy, listen," Grover said, "You need to-"

"No, Grover," Annabeth spoke, interrupting him. Her eyes fixed on me. "I don't think we need Percy. He'll only mess things up." A knot twisted in my stomach. "He's better off just sitting here with her."

Without out another word, Annabeth turned around and marched down the field.

"That went well," I mumbled, feeling a lot worse than I let show.

"Percy, just hurry up." Grover urged. "If Chiron was right...then this is a sign of...Kronos."
