Nico's POV
The camp was utterly silent. You could hear the waves crashing on the shore as Leo just strolled onto the beach. Suddenly a scream broke through the air, and everyone turned to where Jason had pushed through the crowd and was now running towards his best friend. Arms open for a hug, he stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed a feminine figure slide gracefully off the dragon and glide easily to Leo's side. Jason's arms dropped to his side as he saw her take his hand, and in a second he took off running out of sight. Oh no. This is bad. I thought. Only I knew why Jason had done that. You see, he isn't exactly as straight as he would have everyone think. He said he wasn't gay, but also that Piper was really the only girl he'd ever been seriously attracted to. And I mean, who wouldn't go straight for her? I also think it was a bit obvious that Leo and Jason's relationship had something a bit more than platonic tension in between them, if you know what I mean. Problem was, Leo had always been too wrapped up in Calypso to see it. And now, Jason had to see them together. Every day. Man, don't I know how that feels. Anyways, now Leo was just standing on the beach, the smile falling from his face and being replaced with a confused look in his eyes. People were now leaving, realizing they didn't really care anymore, while our friends were now advancing, looking mad. Me however, I was just grinning because I kind of knew he wasn't dead. I mean, I AM the son of hades. I also knew how much shit he was going to be in when he got back, hence the grin. Percy let go of my hand and ran up to him, along with Piper, scowls on their face. "Where the actual hell have you been?" Percy yelled at him, hands balling up. Piper looked like she was about to explode.
"We thought you were dead you fucking jerk and now you come back all nonchalantly, acting like nothing happened?" Piper screamed.
"Okay first off, Piper, please don't use big words." Leo smirked, but stopped when he saw she was fuming.
"Leo for fucks sake, how can you come back and be such a smart ass!" Percy chimed in again, moving closer. Oh shit, I had to intervene. I ran up and grabbed Percy's hand tugging him back a bit. Trying to neutralize the situation I said, "Okay guys…he's not dead. And yes it was a dick move, but how about we let him tell us why. And maybe introduce his new…friend." Yeah, that should work. Everyone seemed to have calmed down now, and they were also noticing the small figure hiding behind Leo.
"Oh yeah, guys, this is Calypso." Leo broke out into a huge grin as he pulled her forward. Percy's eyes went wide, welling up with tears. What the hell? I thought as he dropped to his knees in the sand.
"I'm so sorry…" he whispered, looking at her. Oh shit, now I remember. Oh my gods this must be killing him. She stepped forward and kneeled down beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. Using her other hand, she tilted his chin to look up at her. Smiling, she said, "It's okay. I forgive you." Before giving him a kiss on the cheek and going to stand beside Leo once more. A quiet growl escaped my throat. No, bad Nico, Percy is yours now. Don't be jealous. But yet I couldn't help but feel slight animosity towards this new person that broke Percy down so easily. It wasn't even noon yet and already one of their friends had come back from the dead, Percy was couldn't stop apologizing to a girl I'd never met, I was jealous of said girl, and Jason was probably breaking down in his cabin. Well, looks like it's just another day at camp half-blood.
