Chapter Thirteen

I do not own PJO or HoO, therefore I do not own the characters. Rick Riordan does.

Annabeth's PoV

Ever since the day Jason came to school with a scar, Percy has been acting weird around me. If he could he seemed to avoid me. He would get a look of worry whenever he said something wrong in front of me. Ever since my assumption about my tattoo, I've been trying to befriend Percy. That he's acting strange around me only strengthens my assumption. I have been able to befriend him, and I found out that he's actually a really nice guy. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if he were my soulmate. A school dance is coming up soon too.

Calypsos PoV

I was at my own house with Leo. School had ended an hour ago. Leo was talking about mechanical stuff and I listened. It was interesting, the mechanics, but it was so hard to understand.

"Hey Calypso, how about we go over to the auto-repair shop," Leo suggested.

Leo's aunt owned an auto-repair shop and Leo often helped.

"Yeah, could you teach me how you do it. I would love to help," I answered.

Leo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course," he said with a grin.

We took our bikes to the auto-repair shop. When we arrived, Leo started teaching me how to help. I learned quickly. We worked there together, and it was a lot of fun. Time seemed to speed by us.

"Calypso, I-I wondered if you wanted to... uh,... maybe... go with me to the school dance with me?" Leo asked suddenly.

This question took me by surprise. I had been developing a crush on him this year.

"Yes, I would," I said.

Leo's eyes widened in surprise once again.

"Really? Uh, I mean, who wouldn't want to go with me? The McShizzle himself," Leo responded.

I laughed and we went back to work. When we finished we both had grease stains on our clothes and on our faces, arms and fingers.

"I guess these clothes will become my auto-repair clothes," I said.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Leo said.

"See you tomorrow," I responded. Then I took the bike home.

Leo's PoV

I watched as Calypsos figure faded from my vision. I moved from what Calypso and I had been working on and worked on a different project. I built for the rest of the day. When I finished my clothes had spots of grease all over them. My hand were covered in grease, even beyond my wrists were covered. From there on there were spots of grease. I walked up to the bathroom and took a shower.

After I had finished showering, put on some new clothes and thrown my old ones into the washer I walked to my room. I threw myself onto the bed. I thought about what had happened today. Calypso and I had worked at the workshop. I had asked her to come to the dance with me. She had said yes, she had really said yes! I felt a grin spread it's way up on my face. That's when I heard my door open.

"Well, looks like someone is happy," Jason said.

I sat up and looked Jason straight in the eye.

"Well, duh. Why would I be smiling if I were disgusted or sad," I said.

"You could be if you were a very insane person," Jason replied.

"Do I look like some insane weirdo to you?" I asked.

"Well..." Jason said leaving the statement hanging in the air.

"Seriously Jason?" I said.

He smiled at me before leaving the room and closing the door.

"BOYS! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" Mom called out.

I jumped off my bed and exited my room. I closed the door behind me and walked down to the dining room. I saw a bowl with spaghetti with pesto on the table. I sat down at the table waiting for Jason to arrive. I looked down at my plate and waited. I only had to wait half a minute for Jason to come. He sat down across from me and Mom sat down beside him. I got some food and started eating.

"Jason, how are you feeling?" Mom asked, looking at Jason with concern clear in her Amber eyes.

"I'm fine," Jason mumbled.

Dinner continued and we continued talking. It was weird seeing that scar running down Jason's face. He seemed more... I don't know, maybe serious... or it was just his way of recovering from The Squirrel Incident. Jason was obviously disturbed by the scar.

After dinner, I went back to my room. I started tinkering with some pieces of metal in my pocket. After a few hours, I got ready for the night. I brushed my teeth and walked back into my room and lay down in my bed.

As I tried to fall asleep I thought of Calypso. I tossed and turned before I fell asleep. Sleep finally overcame me after what felt like hours, when it probably only was 40 minutes.

In my dream, I saw an island. An island in the middle of nowhere. On the island, there was a small house along with a garden. In the garden, several things grew, but one beautiful flower caught my eye. The flower was silver and the shade of the moon. By the shore of the island, a girl was on her knees. She was clutching her hands over her heart. She looked a lot like Calypso, the same caramel colored hair and almond eyes. She wore an Ancient Greek chiton.

"Oh Leo, when will you return?" She said in a dreamy voice.

"Don't leave me here, alone for all eternity," she said in a sad voice. Tears were forming in her eyes.

"Please, don't be like the others! Don't promise to come back and save me and then never return!" She shouted tears running down her face.

"Like Perseus Jackson did," she whimpered.

Now she fell to the ground bawling her eyes out. That's when I realized that she was the Calypso. The goddess who was trapped on an island for all eternity. That's when the dream ended.

Thank you all sooo much for like 900+ reads. If someone came to me while I was writing the first chapter of this story, and told me that this story would get to 900+ reads, I would not have believed it. I remember when I was so happy for 20 reads and now I have 900+!
