"We need to stay at Camp Half-Blood a little longer than usual," Leo explained.
"Why?" Calypso asked, sitting on his lap on the ripped up sofa.
"I still need to train Naida."
Calypso's face turned expressionless.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I promise. We are just friends. Teacher and student. King and peasant," Leo assured. Calypso giggled.
"Alright," Calypso agreed.
"And here, I have something for you," Leo announced, pulling out a celestial bronze necklace. Calypso gasped at its beauty. It looked like a circular, clear locket. Inside was fire and water. They followed each other, fire behind water, and water behind fire creating an infinite cycle. Though they were completely different elements, they didn't harm each other. Calypso smiled. Leo helped Calypso place the necklace on her and she admired it.
"I love it so much. Thank you, Leo," Calypso thanked and kissed him.
The next day, Calypso followed Leo to Bunker 9 to train Naida. When we entered, Naida was in a baggy Camp Half-Blood tee-shirt and jeans.
"I'm ready to learn!" Naida exclaimed.
"Alright," Leo replied.
The two played with fire as Calypso watched. They only looked like friends and nothing more. Calypso calmed down a bit.
As night came, Leo and Naida were still training, and Calypso was getting hungry.
"Guys, I'm going to get something to eat. You guys want anything?" Calypso asked.
"Anything is fine," Leo and Naida said in unison.
Calypso nodded and headed to get dinner.
Leo (POV)
"Ok, let's get back to work," Leo said, cracking his knuckles.
"Can we take a break? I'm kinda tired," Naida asked, plopping down on the floor.
Leo nodded and joined her.
"Let's talk," Leo suggested.
"Ok," Naida responded.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen, almost sixteen years old."
"Where are you from?"
"All over the place."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm what you call…a hobo?" Naida said, making Leo chuckle, "Yeah I just wander and travel everywhere since a year ago."
"What's your story?"
Naida hesitated for a second, then spilled, "I grew up in Oklahoma with my mom. I didn't know where my father was, and I learned that it was Hephaestus just a few days ago. We had a pretty normal life. Until last year… I smelled smoke while I was sleeping, and I woke up. It was a fire. I sat up and immediately ran for my mom. The walls, the corners, everything was practically was on fire. You know that question, 'What would you save if your house was on fire?'?" Leo nodded, "Well, I always answered that I'd save my mom. The smoke didn't bother me. I was breathing perfectly fine. When I got to my mom's room, it was completely on fire. I was insane at the time, so I decided that I'd go in, and I did. Fire was literally engulfing me as I walked through, But I wasn't harmed. I scanned the room, but I couldn't find her. After about a minute, I stumbled out, and I found firemen spraying everything with water. One of them noticed me and shouted, 'THERE'S SOMEONE HERE!' My pajamas were burnt, so I was pretty much naked. But I was too depressed to be embarrassed. The fireman grabbed me and ran out the front door. Someone gave me a blanket and told me to get onto a stretcher. I denied them after a lot of arguing. They finally left me alone. I just stood there sobbing, wrapped in a blanket. They found her body, but I didn't want to see it. So after, I've been living on the streets and slowly made my way here, and here I am!"
Leo stared at her and gave her a hug.
"I lost my mother to a fire also," Leo said into her hair.
Naida hugged him back.
"I love you, Leo Valdez," Naida whispered.
Leo released her, with no expression on his face.
"Naida-" Leo started.
"No, I don't care what you say," Naida declared, "But I love you. I will fight no matter what. I know this sounds cheesy, but… my heart burns for you. You have been my first happiness since my mom died. I know we only meet a few days ago, but I love you. I love you. I love you."
Leo just sat there. Not replying, not speaking. Finally Leo said, "I'm sorry. I like you. But I love Calypso. I am grateful that you like me, but I have another person that I love."
Leo stared into her hazel eyes trying to find something, but it was empty. Swiftly, she leaned in and smashed her lips into his. He didn't back away, nor did he kiss back. He just stayed still, letting her use him.
Behind him, he heard something crash on the floor. He turned, forgetting that Naida was kissing him. Her head hit his shoulder and she sat back up, rubbing her forehead. Calypso stood at the entrance, tears streaming down her face.
As she cried, Calypso quivered, "You broke your promise." Then she turned, and dashed out.
