I hid behind the Ares cabin untill i heard the morning conch shell. After most of the kids filed out, I entered. Kaylee was one of the few still there. She was wearing sunglasses over her eyes, Her camp half-blood shirt, and cargo pants. A Seeing Eye dog faithfully sat beside her.
'Kaylee, don't freak.' She stiffened when i whispered to her. 'Remember me from yesterday?' She slightly relaxed.
'Ghost boy?' She asked me, and i remembered that i had only spoken out in my real voice one with her, when she was crying, so she STILL didn't know that the cause of her tears was closer than the body in the big house.
'Yeah. I found a way to cure blindness. And a way for me to come back alive, for me.' I paused, taking in a breath. 'Do you know where any ruins would be?'
'Zeus's fist. It's the closest thing to a ruin in Camp half-blood as we can get. Why?'
'Come with me.'
An hour later, the noonday sun found us in the forest. I was carefully leading Kaylee through, for we had decided against bringing Dot (her dog).
When we approached the destroyed rock, she stopped.
'What's wrong?' I asked, concerned.
'This is exactly where...' I could tell she was about to cry. I looked around and recognized the place where I took the weapon for her.
'It's okay, you're strong. I'm going to set you down on this rock here, and i'm going to be looking for something here.' I led her to a chunk of rock resembling a chair. She sat down, looking extremely pale and clammy. I had to strongly resist the urge to kiss her then. I had to help her, first.
I searched thoroughly through the remains of the great rock, but to no prevail. I found a heart shaped rock, and with hope, kicked it hard with my foot. I ended up with a ghostly, sore foot, and a little golden circle. I took a closer look at 'The Seal' and i noticed that it had the Apollo symbol carved into it. Carrying it back to Kaylee, She stopped me.
'I want to know what you are going to do to me, to help me see again.' I was reluctant, but i read aloud the instructions. She furrowed her brow, thinking deeply.
'Whose blood are you planning to use?' I shushed her, and then began the procedure. I handed her the seel and told her to hold it to her chest. When she did that, I focused all my concentration on my body, back at the Big house. I was actually traveling to it, and i saw Drew visiting me. I just barely saw the look of shock on his face when I disappeared, before I was back with Kaylee.
'Close your eyes.' I instructed her. She obeyed, and I took out my pocket knife. I cut a tiny slit in my finger, and almost immediately, little droplets appeared. I gently touched my blood to her eyelids, and she cringed.
'Whose blood did you-' She didn't finish her sentence. I shut her up with a kiss. She pulled away almost instantly.
'Ghost boy, you're really nice and sweet, but I am already in love.' That just made me kiss her again. I pulled away and smiled, then realized her eyes were still closed.
'Open your eyes, Kaylee.' I took her hand as her eyes fluttered open. One again those eyes i loved could see, and she didn't look at me first, she looked at the sky. Then at the trees. Then her eyes met mine. We didn't need any words; it was fine as it was...
