"He ... hello"
"Calm down, Frank. I am not going to bite you, I just want to talk to you". The girl giggled and the son of Mars could see why Leo had fallen for her. She was charming.
"Sorry. Do you want to sit down?" He said regaining his composure, although the girl intimidated him a little he really had to talk to someone.
"Sure thanks". She took a seat next to him on the dock and smiled at him so that Frank calmed down a bit.
"You did really good with the pier. Annabeth will be happy if she returns".
"You mean when she gets back."
"Sure, nothing negative." He said with a bit of sarcasm as she dipped her feet in the water.
"How are you?".
"What?"
"I asked how you were."
"Ah ... well, I guess ...
"In addition to the fact that everything is in chaos."
"Sure". The boy said laughing a little.
"I don't want you to think I go where they don't call or eavesdrop but ... I did it." Calypso looked down a little sad but the boy did not understand what she meant.
"Ahh ... okay."
"I heard your conversation with Hazel. I am very sorry, it was not my intention".
"How...
"When we were looking for Percy I went down to the stables and it was ...
"An accident, don't worry." They were silent for a moment, Calypso really wanted to talk about Hazel but didn't want to pressure him if he didn't want to.
"How are you?" It was a relief to her when Frank said something.
"What do you mean?".
"Mmmm ... you ... how do you feel in the camp?" She noticed when his cheeks reddened and realized what he really wanted to ask.
"You want to know how I feel seeing Percy again, don't you?"
"Oh, gods I don't want to sound like gossip, forget what I said."
"It's okay. I want to discuss it with someone".
"Seriously?".
"Yes, I was hoping to speak to Annabeth in person but ...
"Now you can not"
"Yes. Do you know my history?"
"A little. You live on an island and there come heroes and then you ...
"I fall in love with each one of them, but they have to go and I am alone. It is sad but it is a punishment that I have to carry out although I have had a broken heart for centuries".
"I am so sorry"
"Do not be sorry. And back to the Percy topic...
"Did you fall in love with him?"
"Like everyone. But there was something in which he was different and I'm not just saying it because of his outfit, most of them come with armor and he came with an orange shirt. I know that the heroes cannot stay with me but he became something different for me".
"You loved him very much."
"No. It is not what you are thinking, I loved how he loved".
"What?"
"Yes, when he arrived he was unconscious, I attended him and took care of him until he woke up. But asleep or unconscious he kept repeating Annabeth's name. I think his heart knew he was in love with her before his head knew it. I fell in love with the way he loves Annabeth".
"You wanted someone to love you like that."
"Exactly"
"And after the other heroes and Percy left ... they sent you Leo."
"Yes," she said with a laugh "you should have seen us at first, I couldn't stand him".
"It happened to all of us."
"But later...
"Do not say more. You fell in love with him"
"It was somewhat unconscious. I fell in love with the heroes because they were typical heroes. But with Leo, I fell in love with him for being Leo, do you understand me?"
"Yes, you wanted him to love you like Percy to Annabeth, but in his own way."
"Something like that. And when he left ... he promised he was going to get me out of there".
"And he didn't stop until it was done."
"I love that about him."
"Have you talked to Percy?"
"It was something very brief but significant. I want him to be very happy with Annabeth and I also want to know if he kept his promise of a garden in New York".
"What?"
"It's something between him and me." She said smiling.
"Of course"
"Don't worry Frank."
"What you think?"
"About what?"
"About what you heard."
"You speak of...
"Hazel". The boy had fear written all over his face, he truly feared that she would never be the same as before.
"She's just confused, don't be overwhelmed you will be together again".
"You can't be sure."
"Of course I can". Calypso winked at him but before he could ask a question, the water under the girl's feet began to churn.
"What is it?" They looked towards the shore where many campers ran out of the water because of the huge waves that were forming.
"Percy"
...
All campers hoped that the storm, or rather Hurricane Percy, would wipe out the camp. The waves beat violently against the shore and the wave that had formed in the center of the lake grew more and more.
"How much do you think it'd last?" Frank looked at the eye of the hurricane as if it were a bomb about to explode.
"Whatever he needs." Calypso was the only one who remained relatively calm, only shook her head disapprovingly as she looked up at the sky.
"We should seek refuge"The cabin leaders stood next to Clarisse.
"Why are you looking at me?" Apparently, in Annabeth's absence, everyone would look after Percy, and since he wasn't there, the next in line seemed to be Ares's daughter.
"We have to do something!"
"What do you want to do throw Greek fire at him?"
"Well, we can't stay like this!"
"SHUT UP!" Leo took command of the situation, his voice took on a serious nuance, a very different mocking tone that he always used.
"Cabin leaders! Everyone, Annabeth 64 protocol!" The campers soon dispersed and ran to their huts, taking the Romans with them.
"Annabeth 64?" Asked Frank.
"It is an emergency plan, under each cabin, there are a security bunker and a network of tunnels to the forest. Annabeth designed it so ...
"It bears her name"
"Exactly"
"Well and now that" Clarisse's voice was barely heard due to the roar of the waves.
"PERCY!" Although they didn't see the boy they wanted to stop him.
"PERCY STOP!" Frank tried to make his friend see reason, the last thing he wanted was for the gods to come down to intervene.
"Do not even try! He doesn't listen to us!"
"And even if he did, he won't stop!"
"Maybe we could...
Chris's voice was drowned out by the roar of the water, a whirlwind rose from the center of the lake where Percy was ... FURIOUS.
"RUN!"
Leo took Calypso with one hand and dragged Piper to the warehouse where the rowing equipment was kept, followed by Clarisse, Chris, and Frank. Hephaestus' son made his way to the bottom of the small tank and pulled on a handle. A hatch opened on the floor and the boy pushed the others inside.
"But what...
"Move over!" A deafening roar was heard above their heads.
"What was that?"
"The windows are bursting."
"No"
"What?"
"That," Calypso said, pointing to the ceiling above their heads. "It was the sound of a broken heart."
