Chapter 3: Emily
Just because I'm the therapist does not mean I don't take my own shifts in the infirmary. I do have fewer shifts though not by a lot and I love working in the infirmary. I was working in the infirmary when Chiron galloped in with a man clad in black carrying a girl in his arms. I was the first to realize she was not only injured but almost see through. I quickly motioned for the man to place the girl on one of the beds in the back and grabbed one of my siblings by the arm. "Kayla I need you to go get me a satyr. Preferably one with medicine experience." She nodded and ran off. The man was standing next to the bed holding the girl's hand.
"Emily this is…." Chiron started but I held up a hand to stop him. I stuck my stethoscope in my ears, "Lord Hades we're going to take good care of your daughter." I told the man and he looked at me puzzled as I continued, "I figure this is from shadow traveling. And to answer your next question I knew it was you because children of Hades are the only ones that can do this and I went with my best guess of who was able to bring her into camp."
I sighed with relief as I found a pulse and could hear breath sounds in both of her lungs. Just then Kayla ran in with the satyr. I waved Kayla away and briefed the satyr on her condition. I knew they had ways to at least stabilize shadow travelers so they were solid enough for us to be able to help them. I helped him cover her body with nasty smelling compresses and got Kayla to get her chart ready. We have her enough nectar and ambrosia to get her wounds to start healing and hooked her up to oxygen. She had compresses for 2 weeks. She didn't become fully solid till week 3. I sat with her most of the time. I was drawn to this mysterious dark haired girl. When she regained consciousness I stopped sitting with her while she was awake. She looked cute when she was awake and even cuter asleep.
Kayla caught me staring at her with a little am on my face while I updated another patient's chart. She nudged me with a big grin on her face, "You should totally ask her out," she whispered. "I don't know Kay I mean I'm bi but what if she's straight?" I whispered back. She shrugged her shoulders, "I guess you won't know until you ask." I sighed. I wanted to ask her but I figured she wouldn't stick around camp. Every time I had seen her around camp she was gone within a few days.
