Calypso's POV
I nearly had an all out panic attack when I heard the screaming, then a loud splash. I wasn't far from the beach, and I poked my head out from behind a palm tree. I watched wide-eyed and intently, as, after a few seconds of staring at open water, a boy came up gasping for air.
I squinted. It was hard to see his face because his hair was plastered all over his face and sticking up in odd places.
As far as I could tell, he was a boy with black hair, and ridiculously ratty clothes. Like the wolf in sheep's clothing got completely owned by the sheep. Anyway, he swam towards the beach.
I quickly turned around not wanting to see his face. I slowly slid down the trunk of the tree and sat down. I fell into a deep reverie, and thought of all the best and least likely scenarios...
Could this really be him?
Had Leo actually come back for me like he promised?
Is it truly possible for man to find me twice?
My eyes sparkled more and more, and my smile widened, as thoughts kept spinning through my mind like a mental whirlwind.
I sat there breathing hard. I was hoping deep down inside that it was truly, for real . . . Leo.
I don't think that I could lose him. I might not be able to stand falling in love again, only to have my heart broken.
But I also wished it to be someone else. I wanted to forget Leo. His smart remarks. His cute little face. The clanging of metal on metal when he worked in his forge. But I simply couldn't. He wasn't like the rest who came.
I snuck a peek from behind the tree again, finding the boy sprawled out on the ground.
I hurried over in my flowing white dress. Ever since Leo had left, it hurt far too much to wear similar clothes as him.
I was scared to see who it was. I reluctantly reached down and nudged his arm, to see if it would wake him up. But he kept on breathing, his back barely but rapidly falling and rising.
I gently turned him over onto his back to find myself staring at the face of. . . .
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.
OHHHH! I got you nooooow! Too bad you already knew who it was. Otherwise it would have been really funny. I am not a very good writer, so I have short chapters, so I apologize yet again. Please no flame! I worked hard on this. Later, I will go through it and make it sooooo much better and longer. But for now it will have to wait. :) Please enjoy!
LEO!
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.
I sat there with my hand wrapped tightly around his, staring intently at his face. Waiting. And waiting.
Finally, after what seemed like another lifetime on Ogygia, he lazily creaked his eyes opened, and flopped onto his side. My eyes couldn't sparkle enough. It took all the effort in the world to not jump in circles, flailing my arms in the air, and screaming insanely. But I knew he needed rest, peace and quiet.
The thought that had first come to mind was, "He had come back for me!"
Then his dull eyes looked into my overly sparkly ones.
I held my breath. Leo. Leo, Leo, Leo! That was all that I thought when he left me.
I had remembered all those who had visited earlier.
Their hair color, frame, face, height, accent.
Everything.
But now the only thing that occupied my mind was Leo. I was forgetting all the rest.
Was it Percy who had the little scar near his right temple?
Or was it Odysseus?
Was it Percy who had blond hair?
No. . . I think it was Odysseus.
Or was it?
I was forgetting, not that I really cared at this moment.
Did Percy really set her free when the Titan war was over?
I came back to the present and studied Leo.
His curly black, unbrushable hair.
His rebel-rouser grin.
His eyes that always shone when he told those ridiculous jokes that always made me laugh.
His burned and tattered clothes that had little holes everywhere due to the heat of the forge.
His eyes slowly dimmed. I could almost see the gears in his brain working overtime. Sudden realization flashed across his face and stayed there frozen for a few seconds.
He looked directly at me with those intense, playful brown eyes. I imitated his expression. A smile soon crept onto his face.
"I came back," he whispered weakly and boastfully, "Just like I promised."
I smiled and tears welled in my eyes. Before I could even get the excited squeak out of my mouth that was about to burst out, he fell into a deep sleep yet again. Everything must have been a lot for him to handle.
But he still wore his usual brilliant still wore his usual brilliant smile.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.
Still working on the next chapter. Will be up soon!
