Chapter 1
I had told Percy to jump off the ship and save himself, just as I thought that I would never get off that ship alive, I had manage to get lose of the person holding me and the two people in my way to jump off the ship right as I pressed the destruct button.
I hit the water with an incredible amount of force that it knocked me out. Thank goodness that Percy is the son of the sea god or I would have died, as I plummeted further in the ocean some sea Naiads came and brought me back to the surface. They had to travel slowly while I was out cold, but once I woke up I was able to help them very weakly get to back to camp.
By the time I showed up to camp and stumbled onto the shore our watch out had jumped out of the look out tower, ran straight over to me looking like he had seen a ghost. I looked up at him and he kept poking me to make sure that I was real, when I told him to stop poking me he jumped back in shock and ran as fast as possible to what I guess would only be the big house.
Will and Jake came running down to the beach both of who looked shocked to see me. Will dropped by my side to check out my wounds before he gave me a little bit of Nectar, before he and Jake helped me out. With their help I got over to the infirmary and onto a bed when brunette showed up in the doorway with tears in her eyes. Will and Jake left giving the two of us some time alone.
She came over and sat on the bed putting her hand on my chest. "Gods Charlie you really are alive." She put her head on my chest and started to cry. "Percy said that you were dead. I thought that I lost you forever." She said as I slowly put my arms around her and held her weakly
Percy came running in once he got word "How did you make it off the ship? I searched the water for you for hours and when I couldn't find you I thought that you had gone down with the ship." He stared at me, but when Percy saw that I didn't want to explain, with Silena there he left the two of us.
I spent the rest of the night holding Silena in my arms, which I have to admit, was heaven. Every once in a while Will or Chiron would come in to check on me and make sure that my wounds were healing. Chiron only came by the second time to take Silena back to her room, but I begged him not since I had just gotten her back, he made an exception just that once and left the two of us there. I spent the rest of the night holding on to my girlfriend.
In the morning Will woke me up trying not to disturb Silena. "Sorry Beckendorf but I really need to check your wounds this last time." He said
I slowly sat up with Wills help trying not to stir Silena; she was just so cute sleeping on my chest like that. She had moved a little a couple of times but never woke up, when Will was done he gave me a little more Ambrosia and when I was done with it I lied back down just in time to see Silena slowly wake up, nuzzling against my chest. I glanced down at her to see her smiling contently on his chest.
He gave her a little squeeze and said "I taken you slept well beautiful?" he asked her
"I'm just so glad that you're still here. For once my nightmares haven't come true, thank the gods." She said looking up at me.
I spent the next couple of days healing with Silena coming in every once in a while to take care of me. I have to say that I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't jumped off that ship when I did.
