Hi guys, so it's been a really long time and as I look back and read my previous chapter… I cringe. I definitely think I've grown as an author and as a creative person so I hope this chapter is longer and a lot more surprising and advanced than the last. ~Danielle

I glanced at Leo on my left side, grinning awkwardly. "You actually carried me?" I questioned.

"Yah, I mean, it would've been rude to leave an unconscious body lying there on the ground" He chuckled and looked away blushing. I could see his palms red from picking me up and carrying me all the way to the infirmary. Frank loudy cleared his thoat

"Do you need some more ambrosia.. or like a Tylenol or something?" Frank asked breaking the silence.

"No thanks"

"OK, so glad shes alive and all but we really need to find out why she was on the ground, knocked out anyways" Renya said as she walked in

Wearing the casual toga and sandals, a fish tail braid hanging off her shoulder.

"Oh ummh" I stuttered not wanting to tell Reyna of Octavions plans in fear of his 'Pay back'

I mustve been stuttering for a while because she pinched my thigh hard, tearing me away from the pool of lie ideas I was searhing through in my head.

"Its really hot today and I didn't have any water or shade so maybe it was just a heat stroke or I was too dehydrated….Yah that's it" I stumbling across my words quickly so no one would have time to question my story.

Annabeth scrunched her eyebrows "We flew all the way here from New York because you were dehydrated? It doesn't make sense"

"Well that's what happened sorry to waste your time" I retaliated quickly

"Ok then what about the bruises and the broken ribs?" Percy took a step towards me

"Yah, it just doesn't work out. Is there something you're not telling us?" Reyna said

"Yes Yes im sure. Look, im really tired would you mind leaving me? I can hold my ice" I said snatching the ice from Piper and bringing it to my ribs

"Geez, Touchy" Leo mumbled as he followed the others out of the room.

After about five minutes I had my eyes closed and heard the door open and close

"I said out" As I removed my hands from my eyes the ice pack dropped from my hand..

It was Octavion
