The New Camper (a Percy Jackson fanfiction)

Ogygia

Ethan rested for a few minutes, then finally sat up.

"I'm so happy, you're here." He smiled.

I touched his chest where Luke's sword mark was a red slash against his flesh. Ethan touched my cheek where evidently, there was a light bruise from where Luke had hit me.

"Ow!" I pulled away and put a hand to my face. My cool fingertips felt good on my burning skin.

"Sorry." Ethan pulled me into his lap and ran his fingers through my hair. "So Ogygia, huh?" He said.

I leaned against his chest and closed my eyes. "Yep." Ethan wrapped his arms around me, and leaned in close.

"I'm really sorry I got you pulled into all this." He whispered in my ear.

"It's fine." I ran my hand along his chest.

"No it's not fine." He said. "I never thought that would happen."

"You mean on the ship?"

Ethan sighed. "Yeah." He looked a little shaken up. His face was starting to turn pale again.

"Hey, it's okay." I tell him. "You wouldn't have told him anyway."

"I was almost going to, though." He says.

"We would've survived even if we had told him in the first place." I nuzzled in closer next to him and felt his warmth against my ice cold skin.

"I don't think so, he was going to kill you." Ethan said, biting his lip.

"Relax, all we need now is just to heal properly and then we'll join Annabeth, Tyson, and Percy on the quest when we get back." I told him. "But how do we get back? That would be the question."

"We could ask the girl."

"You seemed to know what she was talking about when she said we landed on Ogygia. What do you know about this place."

"Not much. I remember reading about a few heroes who were stranded here." He told me. "Calypso actually imprisoned Odyseuss here for nine years."

"Then we gotta get out of here!" I stood up but was the pulled back onto the couch by Ethan, who pulled me into him as Luke had done. He had me against him with my back against his chest. I struggled against him. "What is with that attack move?!"

"What?"

"People doing this, ugh! How are you so strong!" I tried stamping on his foot, but he moved it quickly and held me against him tighter.

"Relax." He whispered in my ear. "We can just use the iris message to contact camp."

"How do we do that?"

"Let's not worry about that right now." He sat down on the couch and made room for me. I leaned against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me and I fell into a deep sleep.
