"Damn, I don't know how you always manage to do that." Leo grumbled out of annoyance, Piper beating him again at a game of Texas holdum. After Athena left, everyone got really quiet, almost too quiet. Thalia and Annabeth decided to go for a walk. They just got back and were now in the kitchen getting something to drink. After they got back, Annabeth looked almost more upset then when she left. Thalia didn't look much better either.
Hazel seemed mortified that her father would condemn Percy like that, although it wasn't a surprise to say the least. It wasn't a secret that when Annabeth wasn't around it was hard for someone to keep Percy in check. With an immortal, however it was almost impossible, so maybe he did something that Hades wasn't all to happy about. Frank, looked more like he was mad that someone even tried to hurt Percy in the first place. He mumbled something about his father, but kept his tongue quiet for the most part. Piper, looked like she couldn't believe what she had heard, her mother wanted Annabeth to kill Percy. All because she thought it would make a good love story. Jason thought she was going to be sick the shade of white she turned.
Now all that Jason thought was he was disappointed in his father. Weather it was Zeus or Jupiter, he didn't care. He wasn't shocked however when he heard, often during the Titan war, when ever Jason would be around his father, he heard him mumble something about Greeks, and how much he disliked some of them. More often then not it was his brothers children he hated the most. However, to go as far as to basically put a hit out on Percy, was enough to get Jason almost screaming at the sky.
"Damn it, Piper will you stop being such a damn good liar so I can win one?" Leo said, throwing his hands in the air to emphasize the annoyance.
"It's not my fault you believe everything I say." Piper said, with a small smile on her face. It was hard, but everyone tried to get their minds on something else other then the bad moments they were all having. Even if it meant just a small card game.
"Way to go Leo. Note to fricken self, no more playing Poker with a Charm-speaker." Leo said, as he but his hand down on the table, and leaned back into the chair.
"I am telling you it is the best idea we have." Thalia said, her and Annabeth walking into the den together. "If the gods are after him, it is one of if not the only safe place for you, all of you." She said, waving her hand towards everyone.
"I said, no. There has to be another way other then this." Annabeth said, looking at Thalia, her eyes cold as steel. "Maybe if we traveld with the hunters. They would help us out. I mean Artemis didn't vote for him to die.." Annabeth trailed off, false hope ringing loud in her voice.
"We don't know what that mean, and besides we can't travel with all of you. I will try and figure out what is going to happen for now you all need a safe place to stay. That just happens to be the only option right now." Thalia said, her sky blue eyes showing just as much intensity.
"Wait, where are we going?" Leo said, the card game forgotten.
Neither Annabeth, nor Thalia looked away from each other. Like both of them were daring the other to say it first. Finally after what seemed like five minuets, Annabeth spoke with a deep sigh. "If we go along with this plan, it will mean we all go to the island Ogygia." She said, looking her eyes now looking at her feet.
"Okay, so what is the problem there? An island sounds great. On the beach, with some good drinks and..." Leo was cut off by a look from all of the females in the room. Clearly they all knew something that the males didn't, because even Jason and Frank looked confused. "What?"
"Ogygia, is the island where Calypso lives." Thalia said, the look Leo gave her must shown his confusion. "Percy has already been on Ogygia and met Calypso." She said, irritation growing in her voice.
"Okay, doesn't that make it easier for us, he already knows her, so we would be good." He said, his face still not showing that he understood the meaning behind Thalia's last statement. "Okay what am I missing?" Leo asked.
"Calypso, is destined to fall in love with who ever walks on her island, its her cures from the gods." Jason said, looking directly at Leo with a look that someone would have given a giraffe singing Katy Parry. "Dude I'm not even Greek and I knew that." Jason said, still giving Leo the eye.
"Oh, so she is going to fall in love with us then? Like all of us?" Frank said, and as the words left his mouth Hazel eyes seemed to grow darker. Jason recognized it as one Lupe would give to show other creatures she owned what ever it is they wanted.
"No Percy made, the gods lift her curse to at the end of the Titan war, she probably won't fall in love with any of you. But, she still fell in love with Percy."
"Oh, I get it. So she is in love with Percy big deal, I mean she is immortal right? That probably means, that she is like great looking, and has a hard time keeping her hands to herself. But I am pretty sure Percy could handle all of.. Annabeth are you okay?" Leo said, and Jason turned to look at the blonde haired demigod. She was now looking at Leo, and Jason had never seen such fire in anyone's eyes before.
She looked more dangerous now then Percy did after walking out of Tartarus. Just as that thought rushed through Jason's mind, Leo was lifted off the ground by fist holding his shirt collar. The fact that the fist belonged to a girl, and that girl was smaller then him, and blonde, did not escape Jason's notice.
"Leo. Shut. Up." Annabeth said, making a popping sound with the end of up. Leo didn't say anything, just nodded his head. She dropped him and he landed right on his ass.
"Okay, so we go to Ogygia, why would we do that?" Piper asked, trying to hold the smile of watching Leo get manhandled by a girl.
"It is just long enough to keep you guys, out of the gods view, until we can find a better way to hide." Thalia said, "If they can't find you, they can't send anyone to kill you." It seemed like a simple plan.
"How would we even get there? It's not like you can swim there." Jason said, and the look he received from Annabeth, told him she knew.
"Daedalus's laptop had a way on how to get there. All we need is someone who has been there before." She said, now looking at Percy.
Great so that is the plan." Thalia said, clapping her hands together. "You are all going to meet Calypso, and try to keep her from having wonderful sex with Percy." She said, as a joke to lighten the mood. It worked for everyone except for Annabeth, who just glared at her friend with a face someone would have about to vomit on a roller coaster.
"Wait what?" A sound came from the couch, and everyone looked at Percy who was now very much awake. " Who am I going to to have sex with?" The look on his face, made the whole room bust out in laughter. Even Annabeth couldn't help but hide the giggle, as she looked at his face.
So I figure after everything, its time to give them all a little break. Just a small one though, and I have always been interested in a jealous Annabeth. Tired to add a little more Leo into it, hope I was at least a small bit accurate with it. Anyways, tell me how you guys liked it, or if you didn't.
