Percy pov

While cuddling on the shore with Sadie, I had dozed off. It was morning when I woke up. My brain slowly started registering and deciphering the information my eyes gave it. Trees, blue clear sky, chirping birds, soft sand, no Sadie.

I sat up suddenly. NO SADIE. Oh, great. It hasn't even been a complete day since I promised to keep her safe.

My head swirled around one eighty, then I jumped up and did a three sixty. She was not there. I started to panic. Where was she? Where could she have gone? Then my eyes fell on footsteps which obviously weren't mine.

With one hand in my pocket where the presence of Riptide gave me a sense of security, I ventured deeper into the island. Once the grass and vegetation started, I totally lost tract of where to go. So I did the natural thing. ( a/n -Hey, GO BACK AND READ THE A/N at the top if you haven't already. NOW SOLDIER!)

"Sadie!" I called. Yeah, so clever of me. Surprisingly, I got a reply at the very first call.

"Percy! Get over here!" I sighed in relief as she just sounded excited, not scared or hurt. I ran towards the direction of her voice then stopped abruptly. Wait, that direction...I knew what was there. No...oh gods no.

My footsteps became very heavy as I trudged slowly towards the canopy of trees. I moved them and my heart stopped when I found her standing in the middle of Calypso's garden, right outside her little home.

Sadie looked elated. She twirled around, her eyes practically glowing as she took in her surroundings. When she saw me, she ran up to me and practically threw herself on me.

"Percy, Percy we're saved! Someone lives here Percy. They might have a way to get off this island. I'm so glad Percy." She said. I froze. What was I supposed to do?

She pulled away from me and began to look around, searching for the residents of the island.

"Hello? Anyone here?" She called out, cupping her hands to her mouth. Then she went inside Calypso's house and came out a few minutes later. All the while I just stood frozen in my place.

"Percy, the furniture in there is unbelievable. It's so beautifully crafted. I've got to meet these people." She said. Then she must have noticed my unresponsive behavior, and her eyebrows furrowed cutely.

"What's wrong? Aren't you excited? We can go back now. Cmon, help me out here. We need to find whoever is living here." She said, tugging at my sleeve. Something came over me, and I wrapped my hand around her wrist and pulled her close to me.

"Sadie, there's no one here." I said. She seemed a little surprised at my sudden show of physical strength.

"But there has to be someone in this bloody island. I mean, the furniture is so clean and polished. No dust collected anywhere. I mean, this all means they couldn't possibly have abandoned this place, right? Cmon Percy, this is our only hope." She said.

"Sadie, no one is here. Let's go." I repeated. I was panicking. What if after Calypso left something more hostile had taken over the place, some OCD monster obsessed with keeping the furniture clean. I couldn't let Sadie get hurt.

"Well, not here here. But somewhere around here." She said.

"Sadie let's get back." I said, now tugging at her wrist.

"Percy, you are acting extremely strange at the moment. And why is your hand so cold? You look like you've seen a ghost. Percy, what's going on?" She asked. Yeah, I guess I was acting strange. But I really didn't think anything related to the Greek world could be safe. Especially not an abandoned island. Who knows why they allowed this place to just float around.

"Sadie, let's get back to the shore. This place isn't safe." I said.

"How would you know?" She asked. Then she narrowed her eyes and studied my expression. "You've been here before,haven't you?"

"Sadie, I-" I started, although I had no idea what I was going to say next.

"Percy, what's going on? Just answer me." She said, staring at me with those beautiful blue eyes.

"Sadie, let's get back to the shore and we'll talk, okay?" I said, desperately trying to get here to some place safe. Near the shore I felt confident. More powerful. Safer.

"And then what? Then what, Percy? How do you intend to get off this island?" She asked. That was a good question. I could use my amazing sea powers. Hippocampus or something. But I hadn't mastered the mist and I didn't know if I could keep Sadie from getting anymore suspicious.

"We'll do something about it. " I said.

"Percy, there's something you're hiding from me. Tell me. If you love me, you'll tell me." She said. I froze. If you love me, you'll tell me. That's right. I hadn't told her anything. I couldn't keep it from her forever. I did love her. And so, I had to tell her. I had to tell her everything. She had the right to know the real Percy Jackson. The right to know what she was getting into.

"Percy?" Sadie lightly kept her hand on my shoulder. I sighed. Now or never.

"Ogygia. This place is called Ogygia." My voice was so soft I could hardly hear myself.

"Wha- I've never heard of it before." She said.

"Of course you haven't." I said, eyes narrowed.

"Percy..." There was a warning in her tone.

"Sadie, there's something you need to know about me. You better sit down." I said.

We ended up back at the shore, after I promised I'd tell her everything. I knew this was a risky move, but I loved her and she deserved to know.

"Sadie, I hope you've been paying attention in Greek class." I said.

"What does that have to do with anything?" She said.

"You remember those moro- I mean, gods you learnt about?" I asked.

"You mean like Poseidon, Apollo and those guys?" She asked. I bit back a said Poseidon first. Not Zeus. I really didn't mind her saying their name out loud. They can't mess my life up more than they already have.

"Yeah, those. You remember those stories about them?" I asked.

"Yeah, like how they had no respect for personal space? Or the ones where they used their children as errand boys?" She asked.

"Yeah. Those." I was smiling now. She just about defined my life in those two sentences.

"What about those?" She asked.

I took in a very very, very deep breath and let it out. "They're real." I said.

"The stories?" She asked , eyebrows furrowed cutely.

"Yes. And the gods. They still exist. They still have no respect for personal space and they still use their children to run errands." I said.

"Oh. Oh." Her eyes became unfocused and she seemed to be spacing out.

"Sadie. Sadie." I shook her and her gaze focused on me.

"Oh, is that what he meant by 'Manhattan has its own gods'?" She seemed to be talking to herself more than me. "Is the Greek base in Manhattan?" She asked. I blinked. How was she so calm about this?

"Um...yeah. Mount Olympus is currently located directly above the Empire State Building.." I said.

"So, what are you? A god?" She asked. I shook my head.

"I'm a demigod. Son of Poseidon." I said.

"No wonder you were able to save me in that kind of storm." She said. I looked up to see an expressionless face. Must be hard to take in.

"Look, I know this is too much for you to take in but-" she cut me off.

"There's something about me that you need to know."

I burst out laughing. Sadie looked at me incredulously.

"Oh great. Greeks, I can live with. Romans, ok. Egyptians? Seriously? What's next, Norse?" I said, catching my breath. Sadie smiled widely.

"You have no idea how relieved I feel right now. So then,Ogygia is a Greek thing ?" She asked.

"Oh yeah. A Greek things for sure. I'll tell you about it when we get back." I said.

"Speaking of getting back, when do you intend to do that?" The two of us froze, as the voice of the intruder startled us. My head whipped around to meet two orbs of sea green.

"Hey dad." I said.
