Chapter Six

Percy's P.O. V

Well that was embarrassing.

They all started at me as if I was crazy, their faces full of concern. I tried to sit up on the bed but when I moved it felt like my insides were burning. I grunted slightly and immediately Annabeth came to my side and helped me. When I finally sat up, I saw Hazel carrying over some Nectar.

"Thanks Hazel."Annabeth took the godly drink from her hands.

"Well I guess this is the third time I'm stuck in an Infirmary and you feeding me Nectar." I grinned.

Annabeth suppressed a smile before getting back to the touchy subject in hand. "Percy, I need you to tell me the truth when I ask you what's going on in your dreams."

I gave her my most innocent, confused look as if to say, 'I have no idea what you are talking about' but she saw straight through me.

"Tell me Seaweed Brain." Her stormy grey eyes literally throwing daggers at me.

I sighed. "Fine. Last night I had a nightmare but it wasn't like any I had before. Normally they would show me the possible future or someplace important in the present but instead it showed me Camp Half-Blood in ruins."

I looked up to see their expressions. "And then what?" Jason asked.

"Well in the dream, there were lots of dead campers everywhere as well as Roman Campers too. I didn't recognise any of them. I could move in the dream so I ran to the cabins to see if anyone was alive but when I got there, a monster was there. It wore a black hood so I couldn't see his face. H-he wa-was..." I stuttered on the last line, unsure if I should tell them about Annabeth getting killed.

Piper stepped forwards. "Percy you can tell us. It's ok."

I averted my gaze from them but I knew that in the end, they would force the truth out of me. "He was strangaling...someone I know and killed them. I then had a battle with them. I somehow could draw out Riptide but when I did, he drew his too. It originally was a sword but then it transformed into a golden bow that had this sort of arua to. We fought but he was incredibly skilled with a bow. In the dream, he managed to cut the side of my stomach and my arm. When I woke up they were there in the exact same place as before. I tried splashing water on it but nothing happened."

I looked up at the others to see their reactions. Their faces were blank, even Leo's.

"Well that was unexpected..." Leo said.

"Are you sure that you got those cuts in the dream? I mean they might have been from when you guys were in-in..." Frank stumbled on the last sentence.

I looked at Annabeth. Her eyes were filled with sadness but she refused to show it. I took her hand in mine and gave her a reassuring smile. "No, I swear on Poseidon that it wasn't there before."

"I'll Iris-message Chiron later, but now you need to heal." Annabeth replied. She held up the nectar to my mouth, a swirly straw sticking out at the top. Gladly, i drank the godly drink. The sweet taste of my mom's homemade blue cookies filled my mouth, it made me feel homesick. The glass was empty in seconds but i didn't feel any different. That's odd.

Piper raised a eyebrow. "Why didn't anything happen?"

"Maybe it takes time to work?" Hazel suggested. I threw off the covers to check myself if Hazel was right. Annabeth helped me cut off the bandages. I grunted as she peeled off the blood stained cloth.

"What in Hades?" She whispered.

The claw marks on my chest hadn't healed at all, neither had the others cuts on my side and my arm. I felt exposed when the Nectar didn't work. I felt like I was vulnerable all the time and if I got hurt, cookie flavoured medicine won't help.

"Ok this is far beyond weird." Leo said.

Annabeth re-applied the bandages to my chest and pulled the covers back on me. "Change of plan, we should call Chiron now." She fished out a Drachma from her pocket and went to get a spray bottle filled with water. Jason offered to squirt the water and soon a mist was in the air.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." She chucked the coin into the mist and it vanished. "Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood." Instantly, an image appeared of a Centaur training some demigods. He was out of wheelchair form and held a sword in his hand whist he swung it slowly to show the same manoeuvres he taught us.

"Chiron?"She asked.

He turned around and his eyes widened when he saw her. "Annabeth, you're ok! And so are the rest of you."He smiled when he trotted closer to the rainbow. "Where's Percy? Is he alright?"

Annabeth's expression darkened. "Yeah about that..."

She moved out of the way so Chiron could see me half dead on the bed. "Percy?! What happened? Was those cuts from your time in Tartarus?"

"Chiron I'm ok." I said to the image. I could see the campers in the background start to peer in the message. Their eyes widened and some gasped. In the distance I could also see a Satyr and a tree nymph talking. When they noticed the message they started to run over to us.

"Percy, Annabeth you're okay!" yelled Grover. When he finally reached us, he tried to give us a hug but nearly fell on the ground. "He heh, sorry I forgot it was an Iris message..."he rubbed his hand on the back of his neck.

"It's good to see you too G-man."

Soon a crowd flocked by, asking us question like, are you two ok? Who are these new demigods? How the quest going? How did you get out of Tartarus? Why are you in the Infirmary?

There were so many questions I didn't get a chance to talk. Luckily, Chiron told them to be silent and motioned them back to their activities. Hesitantly they left.

"So my children, what appears to be the problem?"Chiron asked.

We explained everything to him, to the crazy dreams, the Bow and the fact that Nectar won't heal my wounds.

"Oh no..."He mumbled.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"I believe that the bow in Percy's dreams is a weapon that is owned by a god. Apollo's to be precise."

I noticed Annabeth's eyes widen in realisation. I couldn't tell what was going on in that brain of hers but I knew that it wasn't good news. "I should've known."

I reached my hand up to hold hers. "Known what?"

She sighed and sat next to me on the bed. "Apollo's bow is like none other. It can cause health, famine and death...in sleep. Someone must have stolen it from him and use it against us by trying to kill you, Percy in your sleep. And without you there won't be the Prophecy. You're the backbone to this quest, what holds it together."
