Percy Jackson and the last Olympian - Arcmelos's story

Chapter 1 - Near Death Experience

It is now June 15th, two days after Percy's objective to blow up Luke's cruise ship. I don't even know how it went. I was meant to go on the quest when I got a phone call from Porsche in GTE Pro for Le Mans, wanting to know if I would like to drive for them, they said that they were impressed with my drive at Aston Martin and wanted me to race. I had to accept it otherwise you dont get asked again unless you do a good job. That was the day I nearly died. Before Percy went on his quest, I mist traveled Thalia to camp and told them about my race happening and wondered if they wanted to watch it, on the TV in the dining hall. I had been working on some projects lately and wanted to try one out. I told them I had linked the TV to a celestial bronze camera, which will stream the race from the cockpit and show it in the bottom left of the screen, they could also watch the feed from Euro sport as well, for the actual one over the top. Word spread quickly of my race around camp and everyone was watching. Thalia, Annabeth and Percy sat on the tables while the other campers did the same, or on the bench part or on the floor. Everyone watched me nearly die.

Back on to June 15th, my chief engineer came over to me that night to tell me that my stint was coming up, it was about 2am in France and about 10 or 11 at night, back at camp. The driver before me came in, had his pit stop for tyres and fuel and allowed me to jump in for mine. I went through my usual procedure, checking the straps, engine temperature etc. I came out the Pit lane and started my stint. We were running in fourth in GTE Pro category, when it happened. I had just finished the Mulsanne straight and was still trying to get the tyres up to perfect temperature, I took the right hander and started the second straight leading up to my favourite corners. That's where it happened. I was heading down at 177 mph down the straight when the right rear suspension collapsed and the tyre exploded. My reaction time was too slow, the cars rear slid out of control veering onto the grass. I flipped 9 times and flew into the tyre barrier. I blacked out and the race was red flagged.

I woke up twenty minutes later in the medical bay, where they were starting to get some transport for me to go to hospital. If it wasn't for my Protector by my side, who was also my personal doctor feeding me nectar while I slept, I would have died. "Hedge." I said weakly. "Sh, don't talk kid, your gunna be fine. Just rest up, i will go tell the press you are awake, you had a pretty bad accident." I looked down and noticed my arm in a sling. "In about 10 minutes that will have fully healed" Hedge said to me. I sat up, "I'm fine, Hedge can you get my car while your out there I wanna rest up at camp." He nodded then left. My team came in and told me what happened, "Don't worry mate about the car, we should have seen that the car was sitting low a lot more on the rear before you got in, we're just glad you are alive to race another day." I nodded my head and thanked them, they left and Hedge appeared. "Come on, cupcake. Cars waiting." We walked round front, where I talked to the press briefly and got in the car. Hedge drove us out of view and I mist traveled us back to camp.

We appeared in front of the big house, and Hedge said, "I will go report on what happened to the Cloven Council and tell them i did my job properly. You go tell everyone your fine. They are up in the dining hall, then go get some rest." I nodded and Hedge trotted off. I walked to the dining hall with a slight limp, that slowly faded due to the nectar. I walked in from the back while everyone was glued to the screen watching the replay of my crash. Thalia was balling her eyes out in Annabeth's shoulder, while she comforted her. Percy was holding back his tears and wiping his eyes every so often. I stepped forward, "Huh so that's what it looked like from your end." The replay turned into my interview but no one cared at that point. Everyone spun round and took a sigh of relief as they noticed me. Thalia lifted her head from Annabeth's shoulder and started crying tears of joy and relief, as she walked towards me and threw her arms around me. "Arc, we thought you had, you know because of what you said at Christmas." Annabeth said holding back more tears, while watching Thalia advance towards me. "Ow, Thalia mind the arm and my cracked ribs." I said wincing in pain. "No, dont be silly. As much as Id like to go down doing something I enjoy, I couldn't leave you guys. Plus what I mentioned was a gut feeling and for me they hardly ever come true." "Its good to have you with us, man." Percy said to me. I nodded my head and let out a pretty exasperated sigh. Thalia didn't release her hug or stop crying into my chest the entire time while I told them what happened, "Yeah, the cars rear suspension dropped, hitting the tyre causing it to explode and the rear end just snaked toward the grass and I flipped, hit the wall at 100mph and blacked out." I said all this as if it was nothing. "If it wasn't for Gleeson, I would be, you know." I talked in Thalia's mind, "As much as I am enjoying this, loosen up a bit please, I need to get some rest soon." she let go and started to sniff. Her amazing eyes were now tinted red slightly from crying. "Right, im going to bed to rest up, see you in the morning." I walked towards my cabin.

I got to my cabin, taking off the sling in the process. My arm and ribs were healed up but I needed to rest for them to fully heal. I went in the bathroom, brushed my teeth and crashed on my bed. Percy came in at one point, but I didn't hear him. I was woken up by a knock on the door about half an hour later. I opened it, to see a red and puffy eyed Hunter with her arms outstretched wanting another hug. I smiled and hugged her. I could feel her tears hitting my chest and soaking my shirt again "You want to go for a walk and talk?" I asked her. She slowly nodded her head, almost nuzzling me, in my chest. I got my jacket and we walked to the beach, with my arm around her and her leaning her head on me slightly. We sat down on the beach, wrapping the cloak around us and I masked our appearance and scent, so that the Harpies didn't come along. We talked about random stuff for what seemed like hours as she was still resting her head on my shoulder, and looking up at the stars. After a while she dozed off on my shoulder, snoring slightly and sweetly. I leaned my head on top of her head and kissed it. I then picked her up and took her to her cabin. I was asking for trouble that day. First I nearly kill myself. Second I annoyed Thalia and she nearly killed me and last to top it off, I break the rules and possibly annoy a god. Rule number one was broken when Thalia and I were out after curfew. Rule number two was broken when I fell in love with a Hunter. Rule three was being alone in a cabin with someone who im not related to if it is a boy and a girl. And rule number 4 I was in Artemis cabin which was a no boys allowed cabin. I walked her into her cabin, tucked her in her bed and kissed her forehead when a smile spread on her face as she slept. I walked out and sat down and fell asleep with the cloak over me, and still shrouded in the mist, outside her cabin.
