Chapter 20

The Fight for Leo

Calypso POV

I woke up to find myself alone in bed. I heard the shower running and knew it was Leo. The clock said 9 AM in red, digital numbers. My date with Leo last night was absolutely perfect. Piper had also taken me shopping which was so much fun. I'm so glad Percy gave me the weekend off. Sadly today is Monday. My perfect weekend was to prepare me for my fight with Reyna. Which, by the way, is today. Despite the words that were going around camp lately, I don't want to fight Reyna. I'm only going to because I can't lose Leo. Not even if it's only for a month.

I slipped out of bed and put on my training clothes. My jeans with little holes everywhere and one of Leo's work shirts.

I heard the doors open and Percy walked in.

" Oh, good you're up. " Percy grabbed my sword and tossed it to me. " I figured we could warm you up before your big debut." Percy grinned.

" Yeah, just let me write a note for Leo."

" Alright, I'll meet you over at the arena." Percy walked out of Bunker 9.

I grabbed a piece of paper from one of Leo's blueprint books and a pen.

Dear Repair Boy,

I'm at the arena warming up with Percy. Meet me over there!

- Love, Calypso.

I placed the letter on the back of the bathroom door. I slipped Island Crusher over my head and onto my shoulder. I walked out of Bunker 9 and made my way to the arena.

On the way there I ran into Nico and Jason who walked with me to the Arena. Jason was still a bit quiet, because I had won our spar yesterday, but I didn't stand a chance against Nico. He'd been toying with me the whole match.

When I arrived at the arena Nico and Jason took a seat in the stands. I walked over to Percy who had his sword drawn and was stretching out.

Reyna was on the opposite end of the arena, practicing stabs with her dagger. She locked eyes with me for a couple seconds, then continued her practice stabs.

" Hey Calypso! Ready to warm up?"

Percy sounded aloof almost nonchalant about my fight. He'd probably seen tons of these. " Go ahead and stretch out first."

I nodded and began to stretch. My body relaxed and my muscles loosened. It felt good. I stopped stretching and looked at Percy.

"You good?" I nodded. " Alright, I figured we could practice some basic stuff to warm your arms up." He got in his stance and I unsheathed Island Crusher. We practiced basic slashes, stabs, dodges, defensive blocks, disarming maneuvers, and recovery counter-attacks.

While we were practicing the sky suddenly became inhabited by tons of Pegasi. Each of them holding 2-3 people each. I saw Hazel and Frank and Percy began to wave. They landed right by us and Percy and I sheathed our swords.

" Hazel! Frank!"

"Percy!" the three hugged, leaving me in a semi-awkward position.

" Hey Calypso!" The two began to hug me, but Percy told me I'd needed to practice.
