Ok! Look, a buncha ppl r still sending me hateful reviews, and I'd like to thank all the people who didn't! I SWEAR, they'll all live happily ever after and all that crap. Just have some patience ppl. Jeeze.
DISCLAIMER: Not yet….but soon, according to my highly elaborate plan which includes purple paint, two elephants, and Obama.
PERCY POV:
I ran towards the Big House, confusion about Calypso, and anxiety about finding Annabeth. Why had Calypso kissed me? And why did I feel so guilty about it? I mean, I'm dating Annabeth….kinda….Really, I'm not sure where we stand now. Dating or not, I'm getting her back.
No matter what.
I ran up the steps to the porch where Chiron and Dionysus were playing pinochle.
"Chiron, Annabeth went missing." I panted. He looked at me as if I'd grown two heads.
"What?" He asked, "Again?" I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, again. She was taken yesterday, and I searched for her, but then Grover made me go to sleep to see if she'd come back. But she's still gone!" Then I explained what had happened. I told him about the invisible men, and her disappearing as soon as I entered the forest. He looked all thoughtful, and then said, face straight as ever,
"Well, Percy. It would seem as if we need a quest.
ANNABETH POV:
"Ogygia?" I asked, confused, "But isn't that where Calypso was exiled to? Wait a minuet…if she's not here….where…?" Then realization hit me. That witch kidnapped me. She had me brought to this no-way-out paradise, so she could get off of it, and have Percy to herself.
She was killing two birds with stone. And I was the stone. But this stone's about to hit a new target, baby.
I saw Aphrodite grin rather evilly, no doubt reading my mind. "That's the spirit Annabeth. I'm with you guys, 100%. But we need to find a way to get you off this island. I can just poof on and off, of course, being a god, but you…well, I'll just go back to Olympus, ask around, see if they know anything. But know this, Annabeth," She said, as serious as I'd ever seen Aphrodite, "Calypso broke ancient laws running away from her punishment. And the gods will make her pay."
Oh, yeah, baby. This was gonna be fun.
PERCY POV:
I wandered around Grand Central Station, waiting for my train. I had gotten the prophecy, and it didn't look good. It spoke of one half-blood going back to the isle men are only able to visit once. That was definitely Ogygia. And I figured the best place to start, was at Mt. St. Helens, where I'd been when I'd first visited Calypso. I thought about Annabeth's disappearance, apparently to Ogygia, and Calypso sudden apperence. No way that could be a coincidence.
When I'd gone back to my cabin to pack, Calypso had intercepted me, trying to get me to go on a walk with her, or swim in the lake. I told her I was going to find Annabeth, and she pleaded to come along. She was really getting on my nerves.
I had argued with her half an hour, before she agreed to stay. Now, I was waiting for my train start me on my way to Washington.
"Percy!" I heard a shrill voice call, not nearly as smooth and pretty as Annabeth's. I looked through the crowd to see who was running toward me and calling my name. when I saw who it was I groaned. Man, I can't get rid of that chick…
ANNABETH POV:
"Stop moving! You'll get smudged!" Aphrodite screamed at me. She had just insisted on giving me a makeover, which, in my opinion, was completely irrelevant to the situation at hand. But, as you know, you can't turn down a god.
So here I was, being pulled, and plucked. Glittered and glossed. Shadowed and smudged. It was complete torture. Finally, Aphrodite sighed. "Okay, we can take a break from make-up. But know this, I'm not though with this, missy! Now, let's focus on something equally important: outfits!"
I'm pretty sure Percy cold hear my groan all the way from wherever he was. All I know, he'd better be dragging his invincible buttover here to get me outta this Tartarus-hole.
PERCY POV:
"Percy, are we there yet?" I groaned inwardly. After Calypso had shown up, no amount of reasoning could get her to leave. So, I had to buy her a ticket, and let her board. Hopefully I could loose her somewhere along the way. She had been annoying the Hades outta me. she kept wiggling, and she had sat right next to me in our seat, with out thight brushing. Every time I'd scoot away, she'd move closer.
Not to mention she'd been asking "Are we there yet?" Every two minutes for the past three hours.
"Calypso," I started for the trillionth time, "We have five more hours. I promise, I'll tell you when we get close. They should be serving lunch soon. Why don't you take a nap or something, and I'll wake you up when the servers come around?" I suggested.
"That sounds good, Percy. You're so smart. I believe I shall take a nap." And with that, she had the nerve to plop her head right in my lap and curl her arms around my thigh, using it as a pillow. I tried to keep a disgusted look off of my face as I looked down at her. I mean, seriously, forward much? She obviously can't take a hint. I mean, she's pretty, I guess. But not breathtakingly beautiful, like Annabeth. And Calypso was waay too clingy, too needy for my taste. Now, Annabeth, she would never be like that. She knows how to make you feel special without laying it on too thick. Annabeth was just….perfect. Well, she may not be a perfect person, no one is, even the gods, but she was perfect for me.
I looked out the window and was determined to find her as fast as I could. Who knows what kind of torture she was being submitted to?
ANNABETH POV:
"OW! HADES, WOMAN, YOU GOT EYELINER IN MY EYE!"
"Sorry!"
