'Hi, I'm Percy Jackson. I think you might of heard of me in fact that's why I'm here.'
He looked exactly like I had imagined him, was I dreaming this, imagining it? It couldn't be him, this was some kind of prank. The books I loved were nothing but fiction, they weren't real.
'Me and my friends, well your friends. We were sent here to take you home, you might not remember us yourself but you've read our memories. The heroes of Olympus books? You might have felt a connection to them because well, you're one of us. Not just anyone though, You're ummm well...'

Percy turns when we hear footsteps. When the boy bursts through the door it all comes flooding back to me, memories coming back and filling my mind. For the first time I see this world for what it is, my island. I remember everything with one single word.
'Calypso!' Leo Valdez yells. Those curls, those eyes and that grin. I remember everything and not just from being a devoted HoO Fangirl. This was my life and I remember my love.

As soon as his eyes meet mine he looks nervous. I can't believe I ever forgot he was mine. What's happening? Why have I been living this different life? How come there are books written about these people, my life and their lives? Did I have amnesia? Have I been brainwashed? Everything is so confusing. My mind is trying to piece everything together but these memories are disjointed. Which are mine? Which are new? What am I missing? It's all so overwhelming.

My mind is moving a hundred miles an hour but all I understand is that I love that boy. Leo Valdez. I remeber a promise on the river Styx. A promise that he would come back for me, he is the first to keep that promise and just for that my heart is his.

I remember his face so well now, every emotion and thought that crosses that face. He tries to hide them but not well enough. He looks so nervous, hopeful and out of place in the empty library of a country town. Those eyes, watching me, carefully like he might break me.

'Calypso? Do you, do you remeber?' He questions nervously.
I don't know what to say, but I don't need to say anything because a smile spreads across my face mirroring Leo's and all of a sudden our lips are together. We are in sync, our hearts are one.

With Leo's hand on the small of my back we pull apart, 'I missed you' he whispers in my ear. I'm still so overwhelmed to say anything so I kiss him once more in reply.

I look at percy and back at Leo. I remember Percy too. I could have loved him, I used to think that I would, but he had another girl. I remember her name now too, the name I used to curse. Annabeth. All of a sudden a blonde, tall boy walks through the door. He's attractive but not half as much as Leo in my eyes. Behind him, knife in hand is a girl.

'Annabeth?' I ask out loud. They all look at me. The girl turns red and so does percy. They're quiet, perhaps I sounded bitchy but I was just wondering. She looks like I nice girl.

'No, this is Piper, and this is Jason by the way, her boyfriend.' Percy says it quietly, trying out each word on his tongue. Everyone seems awkward now that I've talked, I don't know why.

This is not the Percy I remember. He seems smaller, less sure of himself. His eyes seem darker, less optimistic.

Maybe I'm just over reacting.

'Oh sorry, hi then. There are books I've read here, about you. I can remember people and what role they played in my life before but no answers of why I'm here or why those heroes of Olympus books are here. What happened to me? Why was I here? I don't understand what's going on.' I plead.

I realise I sound desperate and I reach for Leo's hand as he is reaching for mine. My body seems to know how to act with him and I'm glad because my mind is distracted.

'Don't worry we know about them and will explain everything soon. Right now we should get going back to the van.' Piper says this as though she is talking to a small child but I appreciate her trying not to freak me out by all of this. I nod but can't resist asking 'Is Annabeth there?'.

I feel Leo's hand tighten and all three of them look at Percy.
He shakes his head 'We'll explain everything soon.' He says softly.
