Thanks for the reviews!

I realized that I didn't disclaim: I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON! Sorry I forgot!

Ok, about the poison, yes it's a little ridiculous but it had to be! There would be no point if he could heal himself or get someone to help him!

Sorry it took a bit to update I was planning on writing this chapter last week but I ended up having like 3 tests everyday (midterms ) but don't be mean! ITS ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY! So you have to be nice and forgive me

And remember to read The Saddest Sting by awesomekelly!

K so ya and…the next chapter! Yay! :)

Percy

"Percy. Hey Percy! Get up, seaweed brain! You're missing breakfast!"
Someone was shaking him. And even his foggy half-asleep brain registered the nickname, which only one person ever used for him.
"uhhhg….go away Annabeth!"

She shook him again. "Did you not hear me? I said, you're missing breakfast! Now get up! Or do you want me to get Chiron in here?"
Percy groaned, but reluctantly sat up. The small action sent pain shooting through his body, but he controlled it into a small wince.
Annabeth gasped as the blankets slid off him, revealing his white shirt covered in blood. Black blood.
"Percy…what…what is that?"
SHIT! He mentally cursed himself for not changing. He cleared his throat, thinking fast. "Oh, that, right…uh…well, I went out last night, to the sound, to go swimming, and…I…uh…there was oil. Yea, it got everywhere. And when I got back, I was just so tired I went to sleep."
It wasn't a complete lie; there was some truth in it.

"Oil…in the sound?" Annabeth's brow furrowed in confusion. Damn her smartness!

"I know, weird right? I was pretty surprised myself. Oh but don't worry, I cleaned it up so there's none left." He added quickly. Had to give him props, this was the best he'd ever lied.

"Uhmm…Okay…" She shrugged her shoulders in a 'whatever' gesture "Hurry up and shower, I'll ask Chiron if I can save you some food from the harpies."

Percy nodded, and attempted to stretch to test out his muscles. He gasped in pain and quickly pulled his arms back in, trying to control another grimace. Unfortunately, this time his girlfriend noticed.
"Hey…you okay?"

"Uh...yea, I must have slept weird, my muscles are killing me..." Again, not a complete lie.

"Well…all right, then. Now hurry up!" And with that, she left the cabin, leaving Percy to solve his dilemma;

If I can't touch water…how the hell am I supposed to shower?


Chiron

Chiron glanced around the pavilion filled with eating campers, doing a mental count. Ever since Percy had made the gods promise to claim their children, the camp's population had nearly tripled, making it harder for Chiron and Mr. D (though he didn't really try) to keep track of them all. But somehow he managed. The past year had been surprisingly calm, with no quests and almost no monster attacks. All of the campers, including the new ones, looked to Percy as a leader and role model. Chiron was extremely proud of the young hero. Most people would become corrupted and narcissistic with all of the fame, but Percy remained caring, polite and selfless. A little too selfless, in Chiron's opinion. The boy could be dying but not tell anyone in fear that there was someone else in need of medical care. (Agh! Dangit Chiron! You were so close! Lol) But he was nonetheless very proud of the young hero.
Speaking of Percy, where is he? Chiron inquired as his eyes rolled over the empty Poseidon table. Not that it was usually very full, what with Percy being the only child of Poseidon and all.
Must have overslept…silly child. I suppose I should send Annabeth to wake him.
Sighing, he stood and made his way over to the Athena table. Halfway there, he almost walked into the young blonde girl he was looking for.
"Oh! Sorry, Chiron! I just wanted to ask you if you knew where Percy was?" Chiron smiled. Nothing escaped Annabeth. She was so obviously a child of Athena.
"I was just coming over to ask the same thing, child. I believe he has overslept. Would you mind checking and, if I am correct, waking him?"

"Of course!" She turned and jogged of.
Chiron turned and sat back down. He was about to start head count again when Argus came over to him, looking serious.
"Why, hello Argus! To what do I owe this lovely pleasure? I trust the watch last night went well?"

Argus nodded. "Nothing too serious. But there was a camper out of bed."

Chiron's brow furrowed. "Really? Which one?"

"Percy Jackson"
"Why did you not bring him too me?"
"I was about to, but he looked like he was covered in blood, sir. And limping. Children are not my specialty, so I decided it would be best to let you talk to him."

"Yes… yes of course, I do not blame you, children are quite the handful. Blood, did you say? Are you sure?"
"Not completely, but I don't see what else it could have been.
Chiron nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Argus."
Argus nodded and left.

Percy was injured? No...he would have told me…perhaps…had he injured another? Was the blood not his own? He sighed. For once, Chiron hoped that Argus was wrong, and that it was not blood at all.

He sat, thinking for a while, and decided to go and ask Percy himself. Just as he was about to start walking, Annabeth jogged up to him.
"Hey, Chiron, you were right, he just over slept. Do you think you could save some food for him? He's cleaning off right now."

"Cleaned off?"

"Oh, yea. He had this black stuff all over him. He said that last night he went swimming in the sound and that there was oil in it. I didn't think there was usually any oil in the Long Island Sound, but I don't see what else it could have been."

Chiron nodded, thinking. Then he sighed and waved the girl off, turning towards the big house. He would seek out Percy later.
"Wait! Chiron! What about Percy's food!" Annabeth shouted.

But Chiron was too absorbed in his thoughts to hear her.
