Survivor (Percy Jackson Crossover) [#Wattys2014]

Chapter Seven

Leo Valdez- Demigod

He laid crumpled on the ground. Tears streaked down his pained face. Everything was a blur. He cried and shouted curses at Annabeth. Why did she make him do it? His fists lit fire. Pain etched in his heart like a knife. Flames licked the wall around him.

Smoke suffocated him, but he didn't care. The crackling of the fire was loud but he ingored it. He pounded the floor with his fist. Sobs racked his body. 

"I HATE you, Annabeth Chase!" He screamed. "Go back to Tartatrus!" He didn't mean that. But he did. 

"I'm a monster." He whimpered. "Why did you make me do it!?" He screamed at the burning ceiling. "I never wanted to hurt anyone!"

Smoke filled the room like fog, but he only saw memories flying around. A face billowed into his, he brought his eyes up to it to recongize her. His throat closed up and his eyes stung, but not because of the smoke. He left her there on that stupid island.

"I'm a monster." He cried. The flames raced up the walls and jumped around the ceiling.

More faces and figures appeared in the smoke, two people holding hands and kissing. He left them behind. He wanted to scream at them but choking sobs came out instead. Why did they make him do it? They were Friends. Freinds don't let friends die.

They don't kill them either.

"Why did you make me do it?!" He screamed at them. "I hate all of you!" 

He had been searching for an entire week. He hadn't slept in an entire week. He stood on the deck of the Argo ll talking to Featus. There loomed the island. Joy filled his mind, his hopes suared to knew hieghts.

"There! Come on!" He yelled. The sun was setting outlining the perfect island. He laughed in anticaption. 

"What's up?" Jason asked coming up from below hand in hand with Piper. "Did we find it yet?"

He pointed to the outline, his smile lighting up his face. Piper laughed and gazed lovingly into Jason's eyes. He was thrilled when they both agreed on coming with him on his search. 

If they hadn't would they be there with him? Would their names not feel he was burning from the inside out?

Before the Argo ll landed he was on the ground running. Her called her name. 

"Calypso!" He Yelled. "I did it! I made it back! Calypso-!"

He stopped stunned at the sight he saw. There she was, as beatuiful as ever. Her long, indescribely perfect, carefully braided, carmel hair swished as she turned around. Her almound eyes lit up at the sight of him. The wcker basket holding herbs that she had been collecting from her garden dropped from her hand. They ran to each other sweeping each other up in a hug so feirce. 

Tears of joys trekked down her face. He laughed, loving the moment. He dreamed of this, of seeing her, of being with her. But he always woke up to another empty armed day. 

But this time. This time it was for real. 

Words couldn't explain the feelings that exploded in him. "I made it!" He yelled. "I made it back!"

"Leo!" Calypso cried into him. He could imagine how she must have been feeling. "Leo, you came back for me!" 

Somehow they ended up on the sandy ground clasped together. He took a deep breath inhaling the familar scents of cinnamon and juniper.

They only broke apart when they heard the uncharacterist squealing coming from behind them. 

"Caleo!" Piper screamed. "It's so adorable!"
