Chapter 9
Nico's P.O.V
As soon as I made it to the beach I ran up to Percy, who was sitting on a rock by the sea.
"Percy!" I screamed, desperation clear in my voice as I ran past the other campers. He grabbed the back of my shirt as I almost barreled past him and helped me steady myself.
"Nico, what's the hurry?" he asked, his ever present smile beaming in my face. I really didn't want to be the person to tell him this;
"There is something wrong with Thalia," I said. before i knew it he had grabbed my arm and we ended up in the living room of the cabin.
Percy's P.O.V
As soon as we appeared in the cabin I took off in a sprint towards our room, with Nico only half a pace behind me. When we got to the doorway I saw Lilly wiping sweat off of Thalia's forehead.
"I don't know what's wrong with her, she vomited twice, and then she just fainted," She stuttered, obviously bothered by the state that Thalia was in. I grabbed Thalia and told Nico and Lilly to pack some of our stuff and bring Saphira to Olympus, before I whisked Thalia away to Apollo's infirmary.
Lilly's P.O.V
I grabbed a bag from on top of the dresser and packed some of Thalia's clothes, before throwing the bag at Nico and rushing to grab some of Saphira's stuff. I tucked her into the pram, making sure i packed her favorite plush toy (which just happened to be of Poseidon). The last thing on my list was to pack some of my things, before Nico shadow traveled us to the guest temple on Olympus. I dropped all of our stuff in the rooms which, to my surprise, had all of names on them and we started making our way to the main temple. As soon as we saw the door we were whisked away by lady Artemis, who had been called by lord Apollo. She led us to the infirmary, where Thalia was laying on one of the beds, hooked up to all sorts of machines. Percy was sitting on a chair by her bed, and he immediately took Saphira off of me when he saw us enter the room.
"What's wrong with her?" Nico asked, trying his best not to look at his cousin in her helpless state. Percy looked at Thalia, before Apollo answered for him.
"Thalia has been poisoned with Sarin," He said, before he pulled out a clipboard,"The symptoms are; Nausea, runny nose, vomiting, labored breathing, constricted eyes, being comatose and..." He was cut off by the monitors going haywire and the rapid convulsions of Thalia's body. We were all dragged from the room by Lady Artemis as Apollo rushed to his patient.
4 Hours Later:
Percy's P.O.V
We were sitting in chairs next to Thalia's bed. Once her seizure had diminished she fell into a coma, even though Apollo did everything he could to prevent it. He said she would probably come out of it in a week of healing, but there was no guarantee that it would be that short. Apollo was conducting the first session now, so we were sitting in silence so that he could concentrate. We were told that we were welcome to stay on Olympus for the week, but Lady Hestia recommended that we keep our daily routines and still attend some of the activities at camp. There was still at least 3-4 hours until dinner at camp, so I pulled Nico and Lilly to one side that I could speak to them;
"I'm not sure what to do, do you want to spend the time until Thalia wakes up on Olympus, or do you want to go back to camp during the day?" I asked, while I fed Saphira a bottle. They looked thoughtful, until they spoke between themselves and finally answered;
"I think we should still continue our routines at camp, after all the Sky Princess wouldn't want us to abandon our duties just because she was ill," Nico said, using the nickname that Thalia hated while he still could. Lilly agreed, before she went and got the pram from the corner of the room and tucked the baby into it. I walked over to Thalia and gave her a kiss on the cheek, before I took hold of the pram and Lilly and Nico put a hand on my shoulder and we disappeared from the infirmary.
Lilly's P.O.V
When we got back to the cabin I immediately went to the fountain that was in the corner if the room and turned it on, creating a rainbow in the mirror. After all, someone had to tell Jason what had happened to his sister.
Nico's P.O.V
I went straight to the big house when we got back to camp, and told Chiron what had happened to Thalia. He immediately got Argus to conduct a search of all of the cabins, to see if there were any traces of the poison left so that they could determine who had done it. Although I think we all know who did it. After that I went to the underworld to see my dad, since we were allowed to see them whenever we wanted to now.
A.N:
Who has poisoned Thalia? And what is Jason going to think?
After receiving a review that made me realize that I was indeed moving the story line too fast, I have rewritten the ending of the chapter and I am going to slow down the pace.
Read and Review :)
