Hi guys! ;D This get a lot more action-packed from now on!


Percy's POV

I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Nico was the spy. I didn't see his reason in how becoming a spy for Luke would be protecting me.

Beside me, Annabeth squeezed my hand. "Are you okay, Percy?"

I nodded. "I'm fine."

She raised an eyebrow. "Really? It's okay to feel sad. He's your cousin."

She was right. I was sad, but more disappointed. He was young, but I'd always believed that he was smart enough to know to stay from the government, especially Luke.

I kissed Annabeth softly. "I know, I'm fine. We're almost in Ogygia, and then Luke can never bother us again."

She looked up at me for a moment, then kissed me back.

"Eesh," Grover said, approaching us. "Get a room!"

I punched hime in the arm, not hard enough to seriously hurt him. He was used to it by now anyway.

His joking mood gone, he seemed to be summoning the courage to say something. "Uh, Perce, you never told us why you hate Luke. Even after all these years and revenge schemes we never actually knew what they were for."

I sighed. It was going to happen eventually. Annabeth nodded encouragingly. "Luke killed Mom and Atalanta."

Grover's expression turned to one of the shock, then complete hatred.

I shook my head and started to walk away. They could never understand that this was one the reasons why I never told them. They'd pity me, or get angry and try to kill Luke for me, or they'd feel sorry for me and apologise even though they had nothing to do with it.

"Grover, no." I said, knowing what he was about to say. With a frustrated sigh, I walked to the bow of the ship.

Ogygia was rapidly approaching, and I couldn't have been happier. Annabeth would finally be safe from Luke. Nico would be safe from Luke. Deep down, I knew Nico hadn't done it of his own will. Something horrible had driven him to do it. Blackmail? Bribery?

It was a few minutes later that someone joined me, and it was Annabeth, unsurprisingly. She stood next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Percy, I have something to tell you." She whispered.

I frowned and looked at her. "What is it."

Annabeth seemed on the brink of tears when she answered. "I-I think... you're going to die, Percy. All the dreams, and what she said to me in that closet..." She trailed off.

Who? Who was in that closet? And I was going to die?

I pulled her into an embrace. "I'm not dying Annabeth. I promise, I'm not going anywhere."


Annabeth's POV

(TIME LAPSE)

Ogygia was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. It was the perfect island paradise, completely untouched by man, except for the magnificent blooming garden.

Where the soft white sand ended, lush green forest began. Wild flowers grew and fruits thrived in the trees.

About a kilometre into the forest, it opened up into a large clearing, about half the size of my family's estate. Paving was laid down on the floor, making paths to the pretty garden beds full of all different types of plants. A large cave tunnelled into the ground, the entrance covered with a woven silk draw-curtain.

"Calypso?" Percy called.

After a moment or so, a girl stepped out from the curtain. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with long braided caramel hair, almond shaped dark eyes, and a timeless, delicate face. Her slim figure was covered by a white chiton, secured at her waist with a gold belt. Bracelets decorated her wrists, and sandals adorned her feet.

Calypso smiled at Percy. "Oh, I can't believe you're back, Perseus!" She rushed over, holding up her skirts. I couldn't help the pang of jealousy in my chest. "They never come back." Her tone was sad.

Percy grinned, and gripped my hand. He knew what I was thinking, of course he did. "The place hasn't changed. Still beautiful as ever."

Calypso smiled again, but I caught the disappointed gleam in her brown eyes. She turned to face the rest of the crew, as well as those from the Argo. Everyone was here except for Nico, we still hadn't found him.

Jason and Reyna introduced themselves, as did Thalia. Calypso seemed to like Jason, no doubt attracted to his ruggedly good looks, but he was still nothing compared to Percy.

Calypso turned to lead us into her cave, beckoning for us to follow her. I gripped Percy's hand so tight that I might've even hurt him, but if I did, he didn't show it. My whole body tingled with distrust. And last time I'd felt that, Nico had locked me in the closet.

But Calypso wouldn't be like that. Her island only let the pure of heart enter, so surely its only permanent inhabitant would be.

"I'm sorry that the cave isn't suited for so many guests, but we'll find other places for you." Calypso said, a cheery smile on her face that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Yes, indeed we will." A new voice said. A voice so familiar it sent shivers down my back and made me want to cower away. A voice laced thick with hate, rage and a kind of sadness.

Luke.

"How nice of you to join us." He stepped out of the shadows, an evil grin adorning his handsome face.

Percy snapped into action. In milliseconds Riptide was in his hand, and he was standing firmly in front me, protecting me. Though he said nothing and I couldn't see his face, I could feel the anger radiated off him in powerful waves.

Luke's smile grew wider. "You must be shocked to see me here, Percy."

"Only that Calypso could be so foolish as to believe anything you said to her." Percy snarled.

Calypso visibly winced, her eyes full of pain. "He promised to get me out of the here, you have to understand-"

"Stop," Percy interjected. "He's lying to you Calypso and you can't see it. You really think he can take away the curse?"

A tear from from her eye.

"Well, its gratifying to know you hold such faith in me Perseus. But, if you excuse me, I have a prize to take."

And Luke lunged forward, sword aimed at Percy's heart.


MWA HAHAHA

I'm so mean to you guys.
