Sparks Fly

Chapter 3

Calypso

"Gods" I muttered, running my hands through my hair. The boys have yet to come back yet and I was getting worried.

"Calypso, you need to calm down. Everything will be fine" said Annabeth, rubbing her swollen tummy. She was currently pregnant with her 3rd child.

"I'm sure Frank will bring them back any minute" said Hazel as she braided my hair.

I stared at myself in the mirror. I sat there with my white dress, Piper was doing my makeup while Hazel did my hair. Annabeth was in the corner giving me encouraging thoughts along with Rachel who was little to know help.

Apparently, Rachel had seen our wedding and promised that it was sure one to remember but refused to say anything else which drove us all mad.

"They need to be ready" I said, glaring at Rachel in the mirror. Rachel tried to hide her amusement but she was clearly excited.

"They will be" urged Annabeth while she wrangled little Zoe into her flower girl outfit. Chris laid on the floor, every now and again hovering a few inches above the ground. Charlie, of course was in the corner, silently reading at age 4 mind you.

"Okay, I just want this day to go without interruption. Things need to go smoothly" I said softly.

Today was kind of a big deal. I wanted a small ceremony, just our friends and family but Leo wanted this big elaborate wedding. Lots of people, a show, this whole production. We settled for a medium sized ceremony in the woods with a rather large reception (Leo would not budge on that).

The whole day was planned out, to the dot. Honestly, I just wanted to be with Leo.

"It's fine, they have 5 hours to get back here" said Hazel smoothing out my braid. I nodded. "They' better. In the mean time, I'm starving. Can I have some food?" I asked.

Recently, I had been on a diet, loosing weight for the wedding. Ever since I got back from that horrid island, there is a whole new world of food available. I must have eaten enough to feed the entire camp twice! Leo enjoyed the eating but it wasn't fair due to his boyish metabolism.

"You can eat after the wedding" replied Piper. She, of course, was in charge of making sure I don't indulge myslef in any food that could cause me to gain an ounce.

I groaned, rubing my aching stomach. I had 5 more hours to go, then, everything would be perfect.

Leo

"Percy? Jason? Frank?" I screamed. I was surrounded by darkness. I tried to make some fire but I couldn't see anything. "Leo?" called out a voice. "Yes? Who's there?" I yelled.

"Frank, follow my voice!" he yelled. He was awefully close to be yelling but the noise made up for the lack of sight.

Upon trying to follow Frank's voice, I found out my hands and feet were bound. Luckily, I had maintained my young physic and was able to slip my hands around my legs and at least get them from out behind my back. I cralwed as best I could until I reached Frank's foot.

"Here, let me help you" said Frank. Just then, everything was viasble. We were in a dimmly lit room, cold stone walls surrounded us with a tiny window, letting small amounts of light inside. There was a large metal door to our far right, no handle.

I looked at Frank who was laying on the ground, a knife plunged into his thigh, going straight through into the ground, keeping him stationary. Next to Frank was Jason who was passed out, bleeding from a cut on his left eye.
