Just stand there and watch me burn,
That's alright because I like the way it hurts.

For ten day's Percy was gone, and on the eleventh day he came back. It was different this time though, Clarisse held the glory for the quest, and it brought Thalia back. It certainly rocked the campers' world, but what did they go through just to survive that long? Maybe this will give you some perspective.
O.o
Nobody really knew when it had happened. Some say it happened over night, and others say that it had happened a long time ago and the poison was slow-acting. Me? I think that all that matters is that Thalia's tree was poisoned, not how it happened, and that we were all in deep shit.
o.O
My name is Liz Pertson, and I'm a daughter of Apollo. I'm a year round camper, and this is the story of what the campers here at camp went through while Clarisse was on her quest.
Everybody thought that it was bad last time, what with the tension growing, and campers picking sides, but when that happened we were our own enemies. Now we have to worry about the monsters that hunt us like prey. Nobody sleeps well, all of the cabins are spread thin, and we know that it can only get worse.
Chiron being fired was the last straw for most parents. They kept their kids away from camp, and not only did that mean we didn't get to see our family, but it meant that the cavalry wouldn't be arriving anytime soon. Then Percy got here. He saved the camp from Hephaestus's mechanical bulls with Annabeth and his half-brother, Tyson the Cyclops.
With Tantalus as the new activities director people were on edge. Especially when he announced the reinstitution of chariot racing. My brother, Paul (named for dear old dad), politely informed Tantalus that the races had been stopped because of three deaths and twenty-six mutilations, but he would have none of it.
My siblings and I helped keep up border patrol even though it had been forbidden, and we healed anyone who had been injured. Thank the Gods that nobody has died… yet.
