Will POV
In the middle of the night, around 3:50 a.m., I heard a piercing roar and sounds of fighting from my cabin, the Apollo cabin. Was it a new camper? Or was it just Clarisse practicing her fighting techniques?
I tip-toed to the door and peered outside. From my angle, I couldn't see anything. I sneaked outside, so as not to get caught. I was as quiet as a mouse. By the time I got to the lake, I saw it. It was the minotaur, the same monster that greeted Percy Jackson when he arrived at camp. Now, it was chasing this girl around the hill. Chiron, now in wheelchair form, started to get up. When his full-formed bottom half appeared, the girl appeared to be distracted and allowed herself to be vulnerable. What in the world are you doing? There's a Minotaur chasing you around! For the Gods' sake! RUN! I thought to myself. Too late. The Minotaur ran into her. Chiron shot an arrow straight at the Minotaur and the Minotaur disintegrated into golden dust. The new girl was on the ground. She was probably unconscious. Chiron picked her up and headed towards the camp boundary.
I returned to my cabin. I had just witnessed the arrival of a new camper, but she had just been injured. I tried to go back to sleep, tried to prepare for the long day to come. I tossed and turned until finally, I fell asleep.
My alarm clock woke me up. I went and ordered the cabin to prepare for breakfast. The conch horn sounded, and we went to the mess hall for breakfast. After breakfast, Chiron signaled for me and one of my siblings to go over to him. "What's the matter?" Tyler, my sibling asked.
"There is a new camper that arrived this morning," Chiron's voice was quiet, but serious.
"Well, what happened to the new camper?" Tyler was getting fidgety. This was the first time he had ever had Chiron talk to him. He probably thought he was in trouble.
"Well…" Chiron elongated the word.
"Well WHAT?" I was getting really impatient. I already knew what happened, but I didn't want to mention it because I would get into a whole lot of trouble.
"Well, she got run over by a minotaur, and I need your help," Chiron spoke really slowly.
"So, what's our mission?" Tyler straightened up.
"I need you guys to cure her," Chiron was trusting Tyler for curing a new camper? Was he insane? Was he run over by the minotaur, too? Tyler's a newbie!
We walked down to the infirmary where we found the girl laying in an awkward position, still with a shocked expression on her face. I started to examine her. Besides having two broken legs, a dislocated elbow, and a cut on her forehead the size of an apple, she was fine, but unconscious. I instructed Tyler how to "mend" her broken legs and to relocate her elbow, while I started to pour some nectar onto her cut to heal it. When it was healed, I not so gently poured water all over her to wake her up.
I then force-fed her a square of ambrosia because Tyler was not doing so well with her elbow and legs. They immediately healed and I said to Tyler, "She looks good enough to go to the Big House," and put her on a wheelchair and wheeled her to the Big House.
