Chapter 9 (Leo's POV)

The emptiness inside of Leo grew larger and larger. He couldn't believe that Calypso broke up with him just because of a promise. It's not like he promised on the River Styx. Leo stood from the couch in Bunker 9 and passed by some of his siblings. As he walked through the forest, he heard faint metal sounds coming from his left. He turned and spotted Naida sitting up against a tree, building something small in her hands. Quietly, he walked towards her. She just stared emptily into the woods, letting her hands do all the work. She reminded Leo of himself before he saved Calypso; empty and lonely.

"You shouldn't play with fire when you're literally next to tons of flammable trees," Leo remarked. Naida turned her head towards him, and stood. She headed the opposite direction of Leo. Dang, she reminded Leo of him. Leo went after her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Please, don't act that way. You shouldn't be depressed about me. I'm not worth it," Leo explained. She just stared at him, then turned again and kept walking. Leo sighed and grabbed her wrist. Before he knew what he was saying, he asked, "If I agree to be your boyfriend, would you stop acting like that?"

Immediately, Naida turned towards Leo and nodded. A smile spread across her face.

"Just make sure this stays a secret between us," Leo said. Naida nodded and walked away, that time more peppy. When she was out of sight, Leo whispered, "Gross!"

Though gods don't have genetics, it still grossed out Leo. It's like dating a sister or whatever. Leo headed back towards Camp. When he arrived, he noticed Calypso holding hands with some other guy. She got over Leo quite easily, but all Leo could think about was her. How could she do that to him? The guy and her were laughing and looking like they were having a good time. His eyes met hers for a second and her smile faded a bit. Calypso's attention went back on to the other guy's and kept walking.

"Boo!" a voice exclaimed from behind. Leo jumped forward and turned. Naida was standing there, smiling at him.

Leo ran a hand through his hair and said, "Please don't do that." Naida's smile faded, then it immediately went back. She wrapped her arms around Leo.

"Doesn't it gross you out how we have the same father and we're dating?" Leo asked.

"Nope, not one bit!" Naida replied.

"But-"

"Leo," Naida stepped back from him to look him in the eyes, "I know you don't love me the way you love Calypso. But I will try my best to stay by your side until you like me, or even love me. Until then, I will fight for your love with all my strength!"

Leo stared at her, slightly surprised with her speech. "Alright, thank you."

If Naida said that before he met Calypso, he'd defiantly go out with her even though they were "related". Why did he have to meet her then instead of before? Before he met Calypso and all those complications started.

Calypso's POV

At night, Calypso and Greyson took a walk next to the river. They sat in the grass after an hour.

"You know, you're taking this 'preschool dating' quite seriously," Greyson said.

"I know. But, I still like you," Calypso responded.

"When are you turning 16?"

Calypso sighed and decided to tell him her story, "Do you know who I am?"

"You're Calypso."

"And do you know anyone else named Calypso?"

"Um, I think so. There's like this girl on an island legend right?"

"Yeah. Well… I'm that girl on an island."

Grey's eyes widened. "But that's impossible. How did you get out?"

"Leo saved me."

Grey didn't ask anything after that. "I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."

Grey stood and left.

Out of the corner of her eye, Calypso spotted someone walking towards her.

"Hello? Who's out there?" Calypso asked.

The person came closer and she stood.

"Calypso?" the person asked. That voice was Leo's.

"Oh. Hi Leo."

"Hi." Awkward silence.

Leo's POV

The past few weeks, Leo and Calypso have stayed in Camp Half-Blood. Leo didn't want to go back to their garage. It would sadden him. Calypso and that other guy have stayed together, while Leo and Naida have been secretly together. If anyone found out, they would tease them. That other guy and Calypso has grown closer together. Leo could tell. On the other hand, Leo and Naida have stayed the same. Naida loved Leo, but he didn't feel the same. He didn't even feel like he has gotten closer at all. Why does this have to happen to him? Why?
