Hey guys! Thanks a lot for the reviews! I really appreciate it!
It seems that the cliffhanger worked...haha I'm glad it did. Anyway, hope you like this chapter :)
Enjoy!
Percy-
When Percy woke up, he had no clue where he was. The last thing he remembered was preparing to fight Jason… and then all of a sudden he collapsed and blacked out. Before that had happened he had been kind of weird. Unsure, nervous… Annabeth had been right, he wasn't himself.
Percy then recognized his surroundings as the infirmary. He noticed Annabeth sitting beside him, waiting for him to wake up, with her eyes half closed. So he made eye contact with her, to get her attention and signal that he was awake.
"Percy! How do you feel?" She asked with worry clearly portrayed in her voice.
"Fine." He answered, probably making Aletheia or Veritas, the goddess of truth, proud of him by telling the truth.
"Do you know why you… What happened?" Obviously not knowing this was a hardship to a certain daughter of Athena.
"I have no idea." He admitted while raising his hand to his forehead.
"You almost, all of a sudden, seemed stressed or someth..." She trailed off, "Percy, are you ok?" Annabeth asked again, seeing his hand resting on his forehead.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I have a bit of a headache and I'm tired, but other than that, I feel totally normal."
"Alright, if you're sure." Annabeth said, not completely convinced.
"How long have I been out?" Percy questioned Annabeth.
"About… 17 hours." She replied almost hesitantly.
"17 hours? So, wait. It's like 5 in the morning!" He realized.
"Four." Annabeth corrected with a tired smile.
"Annabeth!" Percy practically yelled at her. "Get some sleep! Go to bed!"
"Alright, alright, I'm going!" She said, holding her hands up to show that she was surrendering. "See you later."
"See yah." He said tiredly. Percy closed his eyes and wished for a peaceful nap with no demigod dreams.
And thankfully, the gods decided to grant his wish.
Percy woke to the sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the footsteps belonged to Jason.
When Jason saw his eyes open, he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"Don't worry about it." Percy reassured him, "It's fine."
"Are you feeling better?" Jason asked awkwardly.
"I guess, but I don't remember feeling sick. I'm not sure why I was so strange before I collapsed and I'm not even sure why I collapsed in the first place." Percy explained.
"Hmm. I have no idea why you collapsed either."
Percy sat up as he heard more footsteps and Annabeth entered the room, yawning.
"Morning." Percy greeted.
"Mm Hmm." She 'greeted' back.
"Aw, did someone not get enough sleep last night?" Percy teased.
"Shut up. We should get our bags on the ship, it's 8:30."
"Right." Percy said. The three of them left the infirmary, finished packing their bags, and walked out to the ship.
Percy had to admit, the ship was just plain right awesome. Being a child of Poseidon, he had seen his share of ships in his lifetime, but this was by far the best yet. Each piece of wood was crafted uniquely and stained with beautiful colors brilliantly. The golden dragon's head with its bright red eyes topped off the warship's appearance perfectly.
There were three bedrooms on the ship. Jason and Leo would be sharing one, Percy and Frank would be in another, and Hazel, Annabeth, and Piper would be in the biggest one.
"Leo, this ship's amazing!" Percy praised, "You made this?"
"Well, the entire Hephaetus cabin and everyone else at camp helped at one point or another but I designed it." Leo said proudly.
"It looks like it was hand crafted by Hephaetus himself." Percy exclaimed.
Leo blushed.
They walked outside to where everyone in the Camp Jupiter were gathered and started saying their goodbyes.
Percy said goodbye to everyone in the Roman camp except, of course, Octavian. Not surprisingly, Octavian was quite happy to see them go.
Feeling slightly like he should make a speech, Percy and the other 6 campers, Greek and Roman, loaded onto the Argo ll.
Their long journey was about to begin.
