Silena stands up quickly. "Where is he? What do you mean? Can I see him?"
Annabeth takes Silena's hand and sits her down gently. "Honey, I think we should let Chiron finish before jumping to conclusions".
Chiron nods and continues. "I wanted to prepare you because his state is… delicate. We're not sure if he'll recover. He is in the attic" Chiron gestures.
Once Rachel became the oracle, they made the attic a guest suite, complete with a mini kitchen and living room, compliments of Annabeth and Jason.
Silena and Annabeth make for the stairs. As they disappear above the trapdoor Chiron notices Percy standing there awkwardly.
"Is everything ok, Percy?" Chiron asks gently.
"Yeah no, it's fine. I just think this is something just the two of them need to do alone. I mean I just met Silena and I don't even know Scott so…"
"Perfectly understandable, my boy". Chiron motions for Percy to sit. "Are you alright Percy?"
"I don't know. I mean I don't know my own kids Chiron, and now I'm a grandad? It's just a lot. But I don't want anyone to worry".
Chiron chuckles. "You never do".
Percy looks over. "There's something else, isn't there. You know what happened with me and Scott".
Chiron sighs. "I have a hunch. Ever since Silena found Damasen, somethings happening with Zeus's Fist. Faint patterns of a maze have appeared at the base".
"Like the labyrinth?" Percy asks.
"Yes. I am concerned that someone might be trying to tell us something. Maybe even a plea for help" Chiron explains.
"Can you take me there?" Percy requests.
"Percy?"
Percy looks up and Annabeth is at the top of the stairs. "Can you come up here for a minute?" She asks.
"Sure. Can you show me later?" Percy asks Chiron.
"Of course. I should go check in with Rachel anyway" Chiron nods, standing up.
Percy stands up and follows Annabeth up the stairs to find Silena sitting on a couch, with her head in her heads. Annabeth motions for Percy to go over to her. Percy sits down beside Silena and cautiously starts rubbing her back comfortingly. Silena suddenly turns around and hugs him. At first Percy looks uncomfortable but then settles into the hug. After a little bit Annabeth comes over and takes Silena's hand and rubs it gently. Silena straightens up and wipes her tears.
"Sorry I'm such a mess" she says quietly.
"Can we see him?" Annabeth asks softly.
"Yeah" Silena points to a door frame next to the sink. "He's in the bedroom".
"We'll be right back" Percy says quietly, standing up.
Annabeth leads Percy into the bedroom to see Will standing over the be. The bed holds a african-american scrawny teenager with black hair, unconscious. He has giant bags under his eyes and is really thin.
"Will" Percy says.
"What's wrong with him?" Annabeth says hand over her mouth with tears in her eyes.
Will sighs and walks over to them. "He's malnourished, dehydrated and has signs of abuse. As well as he does have some bacteria in his blood that we can't identify but seems to be healing itself. He is in a coma but when Dad visited he warned me that there is a 97 % chance that he'll have amnesia"
"Oh my" Annabeth says softly, tears running down her face.
"Yeah" Will sighs heavily "It looks bad. I don't know how long it'll be before he wakes up. It could be tomorrow, it could be in 50 years. There's no way to tell".
I hoped you liked it! Let me know!
