Calypso's POV
Leo and I were sitting hand in hand on the beach waiting for my invisible servants to bring us soup. When they arrived, the servant's 'spilled' a whole bowl on Leo. Come to think of it, I think that some of Leo's smart remarks are rubbing off on me.
It was all quite magical and made all the hurt disintegrate off my chest. Years before, heroes with strong muscles, masculine builds, and overall handsome washed upon my shore. I nursed them back to health and cared for them. I always forced myself to not love them. I knew they would leave me eventually, and would dumped a lie about how they would come save me, wisk me away to another wonderful land. But I knew that it was lies.
A metallic taste started to creep into my mouth, and I licked my lips.
I thought about the second kiss we shared. I smiled remembering it. That was the best kiss. Well, yo uknow, out of the two I've ever shared. But, you know.
The ocean slowly and ominously lapped against the sandy shore like it was trying to engulf everything daring to cross it's path. It frightened me to think of what it could do to me if I got too close.
I shuddered, turning away from the ocean and the thought of it. Leo said that it had been almost two years since we last saw each other. I wouldn't really know because of how difficult time is out here on Ogygia. During Leo's absence, I was so alone and broken-hearted that my mind simply refused to work properly. What else was I supposed to do? Plant another garden? Pssh. Yeah right.
I turned to his face and looked full into his eyes. He was squinting at the setting sun in the distance.
His eyes were sharp blue, flecked with white, and an exciting mysterious glint in them. But they were also clouded over as if he was in deep thought. He closed his eyes slowly and leaned his head back. His face twisted as if he saw someone being tortured.
He flinched, and his now fiery eyes shot open. He quickly pulled away his hand and jumped up and sprinted off into the garden without a word.
I was so surprised yet frightened at his actions that my voice refused to work. The only sound that came out was a high pitched squeak that was supposed to come out as "What's wrong?" Heh. Oops.
I threw off my shoes, hiked my dress to me knees and began to follow in hot pursuit. As he reached the edge of garden, he combed his hand trough his sun-bleached hair, causing him to look like a satyr. He jumped over a fallen log into the garden and sharply turned a corner with a determined scowl on his face and disappeared from sight.
I fell to my knees in exhaustion, panting and contemplating the reason for Leo's actions. As time slowly passed I broke out of my shock and stood up, my dress swaying gently around my deeply tanned legs from the cool sea breeze.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o
I found him in his lair away from mine where he built his escape years before. He seemed to be yelling at the wall.
"I told you to leave me alone!-No! I will not!-" he paused after some time. "You torture day in and day out!" His expression grew dark as I hid outside, my back against the wall outside the cave.
He lunged out and punched the ragged wall with his fist. It bloodied and torn he didn't seem to mind. There seemed to be a wild look in his eyes that caused him to look like a deadly warrior and not his usually laughing type. Like he was posessed. But I was protected on this island. Spirits and other evil was forbidden to find me on Ogygia.
That's when I knew the curse had been broken. I was ripped from my thoughts as an evil laughter rang out. I risked a peek and saw Gaea's swarming figure.
"Dirt Face! You are not welcome! Leave! You create nothing but trouble. You will die a thousand deaths! You will suffer. Turn back and leave me in peace. I will not follow you and your evil ways." Leo spat out the curses and stomped in a circle.
"You have been warned. There will be much suffering on you part. " Gaea melted in to the darkness and all was silent. Leo paced in a circle mumling to himself while tapping his right forefinger against his leg in a pattern. I wondered about it.
Thinking to myself, I should go back, I spun around gracefully and sprinted towards my cave.
o.o.o.o.o.o.
I waited until the cooled down Leo rounded the corner and into my cozy little cave. I stood up and held out my arms. He walked straight passed me and sat on the bed. A expression of deep thought carved into his features.
"We have to leave now. Like now, now," Leo said with a serious expression. " And you are going to come. I can't leave you here. I came all this way, almost died about a million you need to pack and we need to leave. Gaea is planning on destroying Ogygia. Our only hope to survive is to abandon your island. Please tell me you will come. Please." His pleading eyes were too much for me to ignore.
I sat down next to him pondering over his proposal.
"How do you know that my little island will be removed from existence? Never mind that. I guess I shall come if it pleases you and it would be a shame to die so young when you have so much more to live for." I smiled tentivly.
He embraced me, wrapping his strong arms around me.
" Thank you. I wouldn't have left without you anyways." He looked me straight in the eyes and whispered, "Thank you."
We sat some time there, enjoying the warmth of each other.
