Vanished

Chapter Five - Leo - Calypso Did What?!

"Every one ready to go?" Leo asked as cheerfully as he could. None of the remaining demigods happened to be in a good mood for one specific reason. Their friends were missing! Who ever has them is definitely going to get a piece of Leo's mind and a good old fashioned slap across the face. Or maybe he'll just throw his shoe at the guy and tell him he's stupid like the old Hispanic ladies that used to babysit Leo when he was younger and his mother was still alive.

"Yep." Frank sighed. Every one was on the deck except for Nico who had locked himself in the room Leo had built for him. He had built one for Reyna too, they were pretty appreciative.

Leo nodded to him sadly. He felt if he said anything about Hazel or Reyna it would just set everyone of into crying or yelling or complaining or just plain old telling him to shut up. He just kept quiet for a while. The jolted began inclining. It was getting ready for take off.

"Every one get in their dorms!" Leo ordered and ran down to the control room.

"Readying for take off in 3...2...1...and we're in the air folks!" Leo chuckled the intercom.

The warship glided through the clouds effortlessly as it did in the sea. Leo had made new modifications every once and a while. It always made the ship better. Now every one had TV's and intercoms in their rooms and a robotic waiting staff that could make food within a matter of minutes. After all, the ship is his baby. He loves it almost as much as he loves Calypso and Festus. Okay, maybe even as much as them, he didn't know. What he did know what he had to focus.

"Leo, get out here! We're having a group meeting, even Nico is here!" Piper said through the intercom. He didn't really want to leave the control room. He felt safe there. If something went wrong the answer to fix it was in this room. But if Nico was there that probably meant it was important.

As Leo made his way up the wooden steps he wondered what was so important. Every one was up there even another person. He didn't know whether to smile or frown.

"Calypso snuck onto the boat." Annabeth said smirking. "I have to admit, she's hard to leave behind."

It took him a while to realize that his body was ablaze. Orange flames flickered from every crevice of his body. Luckily he chose to wear his fireproof clothes today, he had a feeling he'd need them.

"Oh gods..." he repeatedly mutter knowing he was in deep, deep horse manure as he put out the flames.

Calypso rolled her eyes and walked up to Leo. "You thought I wouldn't come because you told me to stay back? I can help and besides Hazel and Reyna are my friends too."

"Yeah, I know, babe. I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"Leo Valdez, how dare you think I can't take care of myself!" Calypso glared at me and stomped down into the lower deck and into Reyna's room.

"Okay, I love how dramatic she is." Piper said bluntly while the rest of the demigods just stared at Leo with their mouths hanging open.

"Yep," Leo muttered. "That's my Sunshine..."

Nico and Annabeth returned to their (separate) rooms, Percy would've followed Annabeth like a puppy if she hadn't told him she wanted to alone. Frank also left, he said he was going to take a nap to clear his head of all negative thoughts. Leo thought it was a Zen excuse to take a nap. It wasn't the first time Zhang had said that.

Leo stayed on the deck with Jason and Piper who were silently staring at him like they expected him to do a backflip or breath fire. Well actually he could do that...

"What?" Leo asked and raised an eyebrow at his solemn friends.

"Shouldn't you like go after your angry girlfriend?" Jason asked.

"As a daughter of love I am advising you to go after her before she begins her plans of killing you." Piper agreed and rubbed his shoulders as she had done before. It seemed to calm him down.

"Oh...thanks, I guess I better go then." he chuckled as he made his way to Reyna's room where Calypso had locked herself in. He knocked lightly on the purple and gold trimmed door custom made for his good ol' friend Reyna. She had loved it.

"Come in." Calypso sighed. He opened the door slowly to find his girlfriend lying on Reyna's bed reading Reyna's journal. If Reyna ever found out Calypso was reading it, she would murder without thinking twice. Hopefully she won't find out. Then again, she might not even be alive to not find out about his girlfriend reading her "journal". He shouldn't think like that, but from his experiences he had learned not to have high expectations.

Calypso slammed the beat up and falling apart notebook shut. With a roll of her almond shaped eyes, Calypso raised an eyebrow at Leo. "Did you need something, or are you just going to try throw me off of the boat so I 'won't get hurt'?" She made airquotes with her fingers on "Won't get hurt".

"No...I just didn't want anything to happen to you...this would your first quest and it could very well be your last." He said in his best serious voice.

"That sure does make me feel better, Leo." she scowled. She leaned back and rested her head on the pillow. Her reddish-brown hair scrunched up around her face. He had a strong urge to kiss Calypso, but he knew she wasn't in the mood.

He must've been staring at her for a long time which must've caused her to say, "Go ahead and kiss me." she said smirking. "It won't change anything."

"Whatever you say," Leo smiled mischievously and leant down and connected his lips with hers.
