Nick's POV

The day I met Ellie Green was very interesting. I was only half conscious and she was my beautiful nurse. But I still remember it clearly even though she drugged me numerous times (apparently I was an annoying patient)...

Everything hurt when I wavered into consciousness, especially my shoulder and ribs. I opened my heavy eyelids wondering where the hell I was. Then I saw a face peering at a clipboard. I knew it was a girl from her curvy body but I couldn't recognize much of anything else.

Oh it's an angel I thought stupidly. Mistaking the glowing fluorescent light around her for the pearly gates of death. I realized, later, how stupid this thought was since I haven't heard any Hades kid describe the Underworld as 'pearly'.

The unrecognizable girl glanced at me and frowned.

That's when I saw her clearly.

Her big round emerald eyes stared at me intently. Thick brown curls framed her slightly freckled face beautifully. I squirmed under her intense gaze and promptly felt a spasm of pain in my left shoulder. I promptly groaned in pain.

And before I had time to react the girl was dumping nectar into my mouth. After swallowing the brownie tasting liquid, I started to protest but all that came out was a small croak.

"You're name is Nick Anderson, right?" she asked. I gave a curt nod in response. "I'm going to redress your shoulder and ribs so it might hurt, okay?" she explained. I just watched her as her nimble fingers worked to undo the wrappings around my shoulder. I saw her flinch slightly as she pulled away the bandages. She stared at my wound.

"Laisestrygonians right?" she whispered. I nodded. It was all coming back to me. Trent Rodgers and I were running towards camp when the cannibals eventually caught up to us.

Trent.

I bolted upright and wildly looked for my best friend. Where was he? Did he make it out alive?

"Whoa whoa whoa calm down your friend is getting treated," the girl said putting a cool hand on my bare chest and pushing me back down firmly but at the same time gently. I looked at where she was pointing at Trent.

Sure enough he was there sitting up and chatting up some redhead girl. He looked like he was feeling better already.

I looked back at my own healer. She was still smiling at me reassuringly, but she was suddenly holding a syringe.

I panicked again. I found my voice finally.

"What are you doing with that thing?" I croaked. My voice was little hoarse.

"I am just gonna sedate you," she said calmly. As if it wasn't a big deal. Which, I suppose, it wasn't if you were the one holding the needle. But I loathed needles with a burning passion.

"Get that thing away from me," I replied my voice cracking a bit.

She ignored me and stuck the needle into my arm. I yelped quite loudly. She grinned.

I was starting to hate this girl despite her distractingly beautiful eyes.

"What's your name?" I asked while sipping on my brownie flavored nectar.

"Ellie Green," she replied while gathering new instruments for my rib cage. Instruments that looked very menacing. I wasn't so sure if I wanted to have such things so close to me but it didn't look like I had a choice.

"Apollo cabin?" I asked trying to distract my own self from those pointy tools.

"Nope, Demeter," she answered smirking slightly at my discomfort. I cannot believe her. She was laughing at me!

But soon all thoughts of annoyance went out the window as she started to undo the wrappings around my bare stomach.

By the second day, I was thoroughly annoying her with my normal cocky behavior. However, I was surprised when she checked in on the third day.

"Where are you going, Nick?" Ellie asked suspiciously when she caught me at the door of the Infirmary.

"Er...I was going to...the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom," I lied, trying to side step her slender figure. I ran a calloused hand through my blonde locks.

"The bathroom's inside, Anderson" Ellie replied, putting a firm hand on my chest, and pushing me backwards. I stubbornly did not budge.

"But I need to use the bathroom outside! The one in here smells like medicine," I complained. Even though I was about a head taller than her, I couldn't seem to get past her.

"Stop being a baby and get back inside Nick!" Ellie responded dangerously. I could see that I was slowing annoying her, but I couldn't stand staying in the infirmary anymore.

"No, I don't think so," I countered lamely, locking my pale blue eyes with her green ones. I then shoved her out of the way, and started to run outside ignoring the increasing pain in my stomach. But then, I felt a vine wrapping around my legs and arms yanking me backwards. With a large "oof!" I fell backwards on my back.

Ellie was standing over me, with a slight smirk playing on her pink lips.

"This is why you don't try to escape the infirmary," accused Ellie with a slight shake of her brown head. Her earthy vines uncoiled from my sore body, and she held out her hand to help me up.

I took it cautiously, and I was very aware of how perfectly our hands fit together. Ellie led me back into the infirmary and to my assigned cot. She handed me a glass of water and a red apple.

"Here, don't they say these keep the doctors away?" Ellie teased leaning towards me, holding out the apple.

I leaned even closer to her, taking the apple, and I caught a whiff of her scent. She smelled flowery, and like pine trees. It was very intoxicating.

"The doctors I know don't need to be kept away," I replied, raking my eyes over her body in an appreciative gaze. Ellie immediately jerked back and I could see a very faint blush spreading over her face.

"Just eat your apple, Anderson," Ellie muttered walking away.

And I was alone again, with a few sleeping patients to keep me company. But I wasn't that annoyed anymore. I knew that Ellie and I were going become very close if I had anything to do with it.
