A/N; I am aware that this may not be close to how the characters act, but please be kind- I worked really hard on this. Thanks!
My name is Alyssa. I turned thirteen a few months ago. And I should mention this- my dad is a god. I don't mean in the 'he's handsome' way. I mean he's an actual god. And I have about seventeen half-siblings because of this. And if you must know, he's Apollo. Yes, like the god of music. But, on the bright side, this kid from the Ares cabin was pissing me off, so now he can only speak in limericks. Haha.
Anyway, I was in the infirmary, helping my brother, Will. Nico (Will's boyfriend) stood in the corner, staring at us while we performed a surgery on a twelve-year-old named Kat who had eaten a guitar string for a dare. It was weird, sitting above someone just a year younger than me, but I've operated on plenty of oddities, most from the past month.
Something bad was going on- more and more campers were getting hurt for stupid reasons. Or sometimes, no reason at all. The infirmary was always full, so we had to start using the mostly-empty cabins. Percy was okay with us leaving patients in his cabin as long as we didn't operate there, and he would talk to them. Tell them it would be okay. He's a good person. Well, I glanced back up at Nico. He seemed very focused on something just above us. The girl was dying- I could… feel it, sort of, but Nico kept staring. Everything was silent. Then, Nico's voice cut through the silence.
"Bitch, I fucking dare you." Will froze.
"Oh no. Thanatos is not getting this one, nuh-uh. No way." I didn't know what this meant, but I bottled it up and kept working. Within a few minutes, I had finished removing the string and Will stitched the cut closed. I got up, still wearing my scrubs, and went off to fetch some nectar and ambrosia. After I'd returned to the infirmary, after receiving a few odd looks from other campers, the girl had tried to sit up and had fallen into a coughing fit. Will rubbed circles into her back. I saw that Nico had left, a trail of dead grass left the tent in footprint shapes.
A/N Sorry for the short chapter, I've been out of inspiration lately, haha. Anyway, I guess I'll update soon. Bye!
