I opened up my eyes to see sunlight filtering in through a window. I sat up to see Scarlet grinning at me.
"Everybody! She's awake" Jack ran in, closely followed by Emily, Collin, Devan, Cedar (Who seemed to be wearing fake-Fur pants), and a person I did not know and hair the color of the sun.
"OMG, Lily-Rose you were awesome! How did you know to do that? What was that thing? Are you okay?" And similar things were said once they crowded around the bed.
"Hush! I need to ask her some questions!" The stranger barked. He turned to me. "How do you feel?"
"My head hurts"
"Anything else?"
"My ankle's sore"
"Okay, how many fingers am I holding up?" He held up two.
"Two"
"What's your first name?"
"Lily- Rose"
"Middle?"
"Anne"
"Last"
"Harrison"
"Do you feel like your skin is tingling or burning?"
"No"
"You're okay, but come get me if anything changes, you get dizzy, or your ankle hurts."
"Wait! Now I have some questions! Who are you, where am I, and what happened?!"
"My name is Will, you're in the infirmary, and I'll let them explain that!" he pointed at Jack and the others. He left the room in a gust of air. Cedar looked up.
"I have to go" was all he said. I looked at my friends expectedly.
"Well, if hottie won't tell you I will!" Emily jarred a thumb at the doorway will had just passed through
"I have a boyfriend!" Will's defiant voice came from the hallway. Instead of saying anything she just stood with her mouth gaping open. Jack doubled over laughing.
"Anyway…" Scarlet stepped in front of Emily. "How far do you remember?"
"Snake Lady"
"Well, she attacked you. You fought amazingly! Then some people came down in a gold chariot and tried to help the fight." Suddenly it all came rushing back.
"I-I got blinded by the chariot and snake lady grabbed my ankle. I fell and hit my head." I stammered. Scarlet nodded "You passed out. The people rescued us and brought us here." We stood in the awkward silence. Finally, Cedar poked his head in the room.
"Hey, I have someone that wants to see you" Everyone but Jack filed out of the room. He turned and sat down on the side of my bed.
"I just wanted to tell you…" He paused and looked away.
"Tell me what?" I reached up to touch his face. Then he looked down at me in a way I could only describe as loving.
"That I'm really glad you're okay".
"I'm glad you okay too." I reached over to hold his hand. Cedar chose this moment to walk in again.
"Hey Jack, Chiron's loo-" he stared at us before blushing and turning away. "Never mind" he said quietly as he left.
"I should probably go" Jack said as he stood up.
"Bye" I muttered as I took my hand away from his. I suddenly felt exhausted. As he left the room I fell asleep.
The snake lady stood before me, blood dripping from her lips. Her friend were lying on the ground behind her. Her eyes were a blaze. " . !" she yelled as she lunged.
I woke up with as start. I whipped my head around looking for danger. All I saw was a boy with bale skin and shaggy, dark hair. He was obviously uncomfortable and had a dark air to him. He held a gold liquid in his hands.
"I'm sorry, I told Will I'd wake you up." he looked at me in embarrassment. "Here, drink this" He handed me the cup. I took a sip of it, surprised to find that it tasted like the New York Styled Cheesecake we would make at home. He then walked to the doorway, but didn't leave. "Will! She's awake!" Will, the Blond boy, promptly walked in.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as he walked in.
"Great! What is this stuff?" I held up the cup.
"Nectar" Interesting answer. I decide to not say anything but ended up looking at the dark-haired boy. Will catching my gaze placed an arm around him. "This is Nico"
"Oh, hi." Was my brilliant answer. Nico seemed more comfortable with Will, but at the same time seemed flustered.
"Now, I think you're okay to walk, so Annabeth is waiting outside to talk to you. Nico, will you please show her out." He was working with some bandages and didn't even look up. I stood up and followed him out in silence.
"Hi! I'm Annabeth!" I was greeted by a tall girl, with stormy grey eyes, about 17 at the porch of house I had just walked out of.
"Hey, I'm Lily-Rose." I said shyly. Nico walked back into the house without a word. "So, where am I?" I asked. She beckoned for me to walk with her
"Well, before I answer that I must ask something. Do you know about Greek gods, like Zeus and Athena?" I nodded. "And you know how they sometimes had children with mortals, resulting in demi-gods? I nodded again "Well, that was all real, and it still happens." She stopped as we came to the crest of a hill. I looked down and saw kids in amour training, kids singing, doing archery, coming out of decorated cabins, forages, and strawberry fields. I gasped. Annabeth nodded this time.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood"
