Dionysus looked out into the valley below him. He stood next to a tree; hanging up on it was a golden fleece and a dragon guarding it. He moved Luke up in his arms, rolling his nose up at the smell of blood. The camp was nearly empty. It was mid way through September and most of the campers had left for the year. Only a few year rounders where here. Good thing, if anyone saw the mess in his arms they would be panic.
"Eww" Dionysus moaned as his hand found Luke's wound under his left arm

Dionysus gave Luke one more sour look as he made his way down the hill. He looked around for Chiron, it was important no one saw Luke. His heart beat faster as he walked closer to the main house. This was the best place to find Chiron; Dionysus wondered how he'll react to seeing Luke.
He walked up the stairs to the house and pushed open the door. They was no sign of the centaur anywhere.
Luke was like holding a sack of potatoes, Dionysus looked in the room, they was a sofa in the corner.
Dionysus walked over and put Luke down, his head flopped to the side, his arm fell down over the side, blood dripping down his finger. Dionysus took a deep breath to calm him down.
He took off his coat and flung it over Luke's head. If someone where to look in, they would see him for sure, but with his head coved, it would be safe. Waiting a few moments to make sure Luke was still breathing he rushed out the room to find the horse.

He didn't need to look far, over in the stadium they was a chariot race taking place, three chariots where in this race and a few campers were in the stands. Dionysus looked up into the stands, in the third row was a man with a horses body. Dionysus walked up the stairs and along to Chiron
"Hello, nice to see you back" Chiron looked at the god and then back to the race. Dionysus looked at the drivers, he thought of how he would bring Luke up, he'd start with small talk.

"I see Peers and Hanna-belle are racing together, that should not be allowed, their driving is so bad even monsters would run away in disgust"
Chiron smiled
"It's Percy and Annabeth"
"Yes but still" Dionysus looked down at his hands, which where coved in Luke's blood. He turned them over, looking at Chiron to see if he had seen, he hadn't.

"I've got a problem" Dionysus started. "And it's not my father keeping me here, well it's both our problems, well your problem more than mine, I can take a back seat, though if I must say I think the whole camp has a problem"
Chiron looked at him "What is this problem"
"I think me and you need to go for a walk, you have a problem that needs 'tending' to" Dionysus grinned. 'Tending', he shook his head. "Ohh and its urgent so I think we'd better go now"
Dionysus stood up; behind him wearing a curious look walked Chiron.
He looked at Dionysus as he lead the way back to the main house, on him was blood
"Where did what come from?" Chiron asked
"It came from in here" Dionysus stopped at the foot of the steps "you're in for a shock"
Chiron followed the god into the room.
"Oh yes, he's still with us" Dionysus sounded unconcerned.
Chiron looked over on the sofa, he walked near, on the sofa lay a person who didn't look to good.
"Who is it?" Chiron asked.

"Oh, you know him" Dionysus watched his face it showed concern, he wondered if he lifted the coat would that look still be there?
"Who is he?" Chiron went to move the coat off his head but Dionysus moved his hand away
"Would you still help him?" Dionysus doubted it very much "He has erm...annoyed a few here at camp"
"Who is he?" Chiron asked again, looking at the hand. Blood drops were all over the floor.
Dionysus pulled his coat away "It's Luke"
he braced himself for shouting but it never came. Chiron looked down at his body, the wounds showing through the shirt
"He needs Nectar" Chiron's voice was blank
"He's already had some" Dionysus checked his pulse again; it was still very weak but quicker than before. "Poseidon has asked for you to tend to him; he'll be around to explain everything soon I guess" He looked up at the centaurs face, it was blank, unreadable. "You will help him, wont you"
A long awkward silence followed

"I will, I cannot see him die in this way, no matter what he has done"
Chiron picked Luke up from the sofa
"Where are you taking him?" Dionysus asked
"To the sick room" Chiron told him as if it was obvious
Dionysus pulled at face at Luke
"You can carry him though, I hate the smell of blood and he stinks" Dionysus lifted his coat up "Ohh look, his blood is on my coat! I will make him pay for a dry clean"

They walked outside, Chiron looked around to make sure they was no one there,
He walked to a white building which over looked the lake.
The rooms were all free, such few numbers at camp meant no one was sick. Chiron walked inside with Luke in his arms, Dionysus followed closing the door behind him.
Chiron entered a room and laid Luke down on a high metal table; he could hear the boys ragged breathing for the first time.
Chiron walked over to a lower table, he picked up some scissors and dressings.
"Can you go find Argus, we'll need him to watch Luke" Chiron told Dionysus.
He nodded and left. Argus was head of security at Came Half Blood.
Chiron picked up the scissors and started to cut Luke's shirt off. It was lucky the material was thin, the scissors ran through quite easy.
Chiron pulled out the bloody rags from under Luke's back, Chiron went over to the tap in the corner and ran some warm water into a small bowl, he picked some cotton balls and started to wash Luke's wounds, looking to see how deep they were. The deepest wound was his stomach, the boy had been lucky, no organs had been hit.

As Chiron started to examine Luke closely he was interested in his left arm. The arm was red raw, and it looked very painful. Chiron lifted the arm, underneath near to the armpit was a puncture wound and the skin around it had turned black. Chiron went back to the table and took out a cloth and Nectar, he washed the wound clean.
He unrolled the bandages and rapped Luke's left arm up fully.

Chiron started to put bandages around his chest when they was a knock on the door
"Come in" Chiron looked up to find Argus walking in the room, he looked down at Luke
"We need you to stand by the door, don't let anyone into this house, the rest of the camp must not know he's here, it will endanger his life" Chiron had one person in mind when he said that, he knew Percy would love to find Luke in his way. Argus nodded "I'll start now".

Dionysus looked hopeful "That's a great thing, we'll have a few less campers, oh can I announce he's here at dinner tonight please" He sounded bright and cheerful
Chiron ignored him
"Can you get me a top out for him" Chiron nodded to a cupboard
Dionysus opened the door and pulled out a fresh cotton t-shirt. He handed it to Chiron.
Chiron put the top over Luke's head and pulled his arms through.
Chiron continued to examine Luke, he raised an eye lid, the eye under the lid was blue but very bloodshot. Chiron felt around his arms checking for broken bones, he washed the blood off his mouth and hands.

Once he was satisfied the bleeding has stopped and Luke was all clean, he lifted Luke off the table and carried him out the room. Chiron took him upstairs to a room with a bed; he laid Luke in the bed and put the blankets over him.
"How long has he been like this?"Chrion asked Dionysus, who shrugged "Don't ask me, I don't know"
"Someone will need to stay with him" Chrion looked at the form in bed.
Dionysus held out his hand and a can of Diet Coke appeared, he clicked it open and took a big mouthful
"Oh not me" He moaned. "What if he wakes what am I do to, say 'Hey Luke' and asked him to stay put while I fetch you"
Chrion gave his head a little shake
"I cant ask Argus to do all the guarding, and two people need to be near him, one to make sure he dose not escape and a second to tell me when he wakes up"

Dionysus pulled a face
"I don't think he'll be getting up any time soon" He laughed, looking at Luke, the boy hadn't moved since they got here. "I know"
He grinned, he moved his coke can into his left hand, held out his right hand and clicked.
Ropes tied themselves around Luke's right wrist, binding him to the bed
"Problem solved" Dionysus took another mouthful
"What?" he asked to Chrion's disapproving looked
"You cant go tying up campers" Chrion said angrily

"Well he's not necessary a camper and I smell Poseidon" Dionysus said "He smells of seaweed"
He walked over to the window and looked down, outside was the black haired, green eyed god
"Lets go see what he has to say" Chrion led the way outside.
