Fanfiction

No, the title is not a Hunger Games pun. This story takes place after the events of The Blood of Olympus. (Yes, I do know how badly photoshopped the cover is. Sorry.)

Chapter 7 (I Got Tagged)

Start from the beginning

"Oh, I see. Smart."

Half an hour passed by quickly. Leo began to hear shouts coming from the direction of the other team. He hoped Annabeth's plan would work. Suddenly Leo spotted Percy over by a tree in the distance, running swiftly towards them.

"Jason, quickly! Lightning!" Jason responded with a blast that shook the ground. The lightning rod shone with energy and began to glow but the sheer power of Jason's lightning was too much for it. It exploded, sending glowing shards of metal everywhere. "Jason, that was a bit too much."

"Sorry!"

The only good thing about the explosion was that Percy had been blown of his feet and was now too weak to get back up.

Just then Leo heard the sound of trampling feet behind him. He turned around. There was no one. Hmm... I could have sworn! Leo then saw a girl shimmer into existence. It was Calypso, and she was holding the flag!

"Jason quickly!" Leo yelled at his best friend. "Calypso's invisible and she has the flag!" Leo knew Jason would be able to catch her faster because he could fly.

"What do you mean, Leo? The flag's right here!" Jason pointed at the top of Zeus's Fist, where the flag was waving in the wind.

I must be hallucinating! But it looked so real! Leo argued with himself, but before he could try and figure out what just happened, the answer came. Chiron galloped into the clearing.

"The game is won! Calypso's team is victorious!"

How? Leo turned around and glanced at the flag once more, but then it dissipated into green smoke before his very eyes. Leo couldn't believe it!

Chiron answered his unspoken question. "It seems that Calypso's magic was too much for your defensive strategy." He laughed.

"So it was Calypso! I knew I wasn't seeing things!" Leo thought out loud as the three of them walked back to camp, dragging a still paralyzed Percy along behind them.

Later that night, after curfew, Leo and Calypso were just about to leave to their separate rooms in Bunker 9 when Leo stopped Calypso right in front of her door.

"Hey. I have to tell you something."

Calypso smiled. "Is it more nonsense about how you think we cheated in that game?"

"No. This is serious."

Leo's face must have looked deadly serious because Calypso lowered her smile. "What is it, Leo?"

"Well, I was talking to Dionysus while we were in the Big House earlier and he said that," Leo's voice cracked, "that you actually are immortal. I don't think our relationship will work under those circumstances."

Calypso put on a sad smile. "Leo, we'll make it work. Just you see. I will always love you."

And with that Calypso gave Leo a quick kiss and walked into her room, closing the door behind her.
