Hey guys. I hope you liked the last chapter. Also sorry I haven't been on the point of view of the Agro II in a while, but I'm sorry for all you Leo and Annabeth lovers out there, this isn't one either. Sorry about that! I'll try to put in one of those chapters in a little bit. Anyway, all rights go to Rick Riordan (amazing!). Hope you guys enjoy the next chapter! :)

Will

Will glanced nervously to the top of the hill where everyone in Camp Half-Blood knew the Romans were hiding. Things at camp had been tense lately. No one knew when to expect the attack, and no one knew exactly how skilled they really are. The only thing people could do to satisfy the ever growing anxiety was to glance at the hill like Will would, and even that was only temporary relief.

He tapped his foot impatiently while he waited in line, which was taking a million years. How many fries did Travis even need? He glanced down the line. No one was really talking. Travis and Conner were cracking jokes for the benefit of those around them, like always and they of course were laughing, but aside from some quiet conversations here and there, that was pretty much it.

That was how Camp Half-Blood was now. A group of tense teenagers not knowing when or if they were about to be attacked. It didn't feel like camp. Another main aspect of that was the fact that they were missing their two leaders, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. While Jason, Leo and Piper were big parts of camp, they mostly kept to themselves those months they were here, focusing on building the ship or reminiscing of all the adventures they shared together. Percy and Annabeth however, were hard to live without.

They both lead the camp through the war and helped people through loses. They won many games of capture the flag with them and were friends with everyone here. When Percy went missing months ago, virtually the whole camp was worried. Annabeth said they know where he was and went to get him, but Annabeth, Leo, Piper and Jason all leaving on the ship was the last they heard of that.

Will sighed as he loaded his plate with grapes, curtesy of Mr. D who they hadn't seen in a while. Rumors had it he was suffering from multiple personality disorder from the Romans. He then walked to the fire and scraped half of his meal in.

"To Apollo." He said out loud and then added in a low voice, "Please bring us some help." Anything to lift the spirits of the people here. He returned to his seat. He was chatting with Austin and Kayla for a bit, when Grover stood straight up in his seat. Most of the campers turned to look at him, some asked vague questions, but he didn't say anything. He was pale in the face and looking slightly alarmed. Will opened his mouth to speak when Grover turned towards the fire.

Will followed his gaze and looked at the fire as well. Nothing was wrong. It looked like it always did. Will and Kayla shared a look and then returned their attention to their plates. Then, the flames grew higher and more wild. Will jumped up. Something was happening. Several people were drawing their weapons, arrows pointed at the flames. Suddenly a dark shape formed in the fire and then fell out, face first onto the ground.

Everyone froze. Not a single person moved or even breathed. It didn't seem real. They hadn't seen him and so long and then he falls out of the fire. The person on the ground was Percy Jackson. Will's mouth partially opened. Grover was the first to unfreeze.

"P-Percy!" He leaped over a chair and started sprinting towards him. Chiron unfroze second. He galloped towards Percy, much faster than Grover had been able to and scooped him up like a house cat. He slung the unconscious boy over his horse back and walked over to Will. He picked him up by the back of his neck and put him on his back too. He started towards the Big House.

Shaking out of his stupor, Will stopped Percy from sliding off. He was dimly aware of Grover, Rachael, Tyson, Thalia and Juniper chasing after them, but falling behind. Chiron bust through to door into one of the sick rooms and gently slid Percy off his back. Will immediately started pulling out supplies. He grabbed a kit stored under a shelf in the bottom most cabinet and then turned towards the person on the bed.

He sucked in a breath. Will didn't even know where to start. First of all, he was riddled with burns. Especially his arm. The more Will inspected his arm, he realized there was a deep wound on his hand. When he turned it over, he saw the wound went all the way through. His stomach clenched. Chiron was next to him, already helping. Despite not being a child of Apollo, he knew a thing or two about healing. Will fed Percy some ambrosia, hoping to tide him over while he assessed the damage.

He felt around his chest, definitely at least two broken ribs, judging by the wound on his head, a major concussion, possible severe head trauma. He took off Percy's shirt and stifled a groan. It was all one bug bruise all over. He hoped it was only from the broken ribs, but he studied them closer. He definitely fell from somewhere. Chiron was feeding Percy some more ambrosia, he glanced at Will and Will realized with an odd feeling, he was in charge.

He cleaned out the wound on Percy's head, pushing back his long hair. The wound itself on his hand was worse by far, but considering that his head wound was placed where it was, it was a much more pressing matter.

"Chiron can you deal with his hand?" He asked. "Please." He added feeling odd. Chiron followed his orders. Soon after he started hearing pounding at the door and yells, lead by Grover.

"Come on, we have to see him!"

"He's our best friend!"

"Is he okay?"

"Let us in!"

Will glanced at Chiron who was still dealing with Percy's hand. He had lost a lot of blood from that. Will shuttered to think how. He focused his mind and blocked out the voices from outside. He clearly had much more pressing matters to deal with. Once Percy's head was clean of dirt, sweat and most of the blood, he started checking it. He couldn't be sure without an x-ray, but he didn't see much internal bleeding or fracturing of the skull. He took a clean cloth and put pressure on it, hoping to stop the bleeding.

"Chiron can you hold this on?" He nodded and moved over to help. Will walked around and started dealing with his hand. Chiron had done a great job with it being properly cleaned and bandaged. It didn't need his immediate attention. The sound outside was becoming more than he could ignore. But, he thought it might help him a bit.

"Grover?" Silence outside, then...

"Yes will you let me in?" He sounded panicked, scared.

"Tell me what's hurting Percy the most." He closed his eyes for the first time in what felt like forever. They stung under his eye lids as if he had just lost a staring contest. He knew with his empathy link Grover could feel what Percy was feeling to some extent. He hoped it was working now.

"His head." Grover said after a minute. He nodded and glanced back at his head. There was nothing much they could do until the bleeding stopped. He glanced at the whole body, seeing all the burns in full light.

"Rachael? Can you get some of the burn cream from the Apollo cabin? There's a large chest next to my bunk and it should be on the left next to the bandages. Got that?" He heard a fleeting "yeah" and then a cacophony of sounds. Everyone one outside wanted more information on the burns. The Romans, it seemed, were temporarily forgotten.

While Will was cleaning and wrapping Percy's chest there was a hurried knock on the door. Will moved over and took to Percy's head leaving Chiron's hands free.

"Chiron can you let Rachel in?" He lifted the cloth to see how the wound was doing. His heart sunk. It was still bleeding badly.

"Perhaps it would be better to let in his closest friends?" He suggested, nodding towards all the noise outside the door. As always, he was right.

"I- yeah. Of course. Let them in." Chiron opened the door and the noise got if possible, louder. Several people shuffled into the room. Grover was first, stumbling in and noticing Percy. His face paled and he sat down heavily. Thalia was next and she walked directly next to Will's side. Tyson was next in, took one look at Percy and started bawling. Rachael came in shaking uncontrollably. Juniper looked uncomfortable and hovered next to Grover.

"How can we help?" Thalia, ever the leader, hiding her feelings for the benefit of the situation. There was a reason she and Annabeth were best friends.

"Hold this here. Rachael, the cream? Grover is anything else injured? Tyson, maybe you should leave. Juniper, if you want to stay you can."

"I'm staying." Juniper held her head high.

"So am I." Tyson's eye was bloodshot.

"Here's the cream." Rachael handed it to him.

"Okay." Thalia moved over to his head.

"Well there's the head, chest, hand, burns and his foot." Everyone winced at the number.

"Wait foot?" Will moved down. He cursed. He had been so worried about everything else he hadn't even realized his foot was pointing an odd direction. Chiron was right about letting them in. With them helping, he was getting a lot done more quickly. Thank the gods for ambrosia though. With a couple more sips, his foot straightened slightly, his ribs became only slightly broken, and his head and hand stopped bleeding.

Will took a breath of relief. With a deeper look, he realized Percy didn't have any internal bleeding from his head, nor a shattered skull. A concussion was about the extent of it. After nearly an hour of work, Will took a deep breath. He wasn't in danger of dying. He ran his hand through his curly blonde hair and sat down heavily in his chair.

"So, is he going to be okay?" Rachael sounded anxious.

"He's not going to die." Will's head was in his hands, "but I don't exactly know when he's going to wake up. That's a pretty bad concussion. He's lucky he didn't crack his skull or have internal bleeding."

"So he might never wake up?"

"I don't know, Thalia." He looked at Chiron. His eyes held thousands of years of sadness.

"I think we should all get some rest." Chiron stood up, towering over everyone.

"W-what? No I'm not leaving him!" Grover looked down at his best friend, unconscious against the bright white sheets.

"We wont be any help exhausted." Chiron started leading them out, even Will.

"Wait but-" Will started.

"Please wake up brother!" Tyson called over Chiron.

"Good night." They were all outside then. All the rest of the campers were standing there, waiting for news. Will didn't feel like saying anything. Thalia was going around to different groups, talking about Percy's condition in low voices.

"He'll pull through. I mean, I can't seem to get rid of him even when I try." Clairese's voice rose above the others, but Will could hear a touch of concern in her words.

"He has to. Who else will help us pull pranks on the Demeter cabin?" Travis and Conner were saying, earning a slap on the shoulder from Katie.

"He just can't die!" Lou Ellen was crying.

"What's going on?" Clovis walked towards the group. Will ignored all of their comments, and ignored their eyes on his back. He instead continued towards his cabin. Chiron was right. He needed rest. He fell down on his bunk and was asleep immediately.

The next morning, Will gathered some supplies from his cabin and ignored questions from his siblings. He headed towards the Big House. Walking down the halls, he found Percy's door and opened it. When he saw what was inside, he dropped all the things in his arms. Percy Jackson wasn't there.

"Um, Chiron?!"
