I sat on a cot, just like I had earlier that day, in the infirmary. Will was running around and getting supplies to help patch me up and stop the bleeding. After Christian helped me to the infirmary he insisted on staying. Will assured him, though, that I was in good hands, and Christian was then guided out by one of his other Apollo siblings. I kind of wished he would've stayed, though. He's one of the few people who still sees me just as my normal self.

Once Will had all of the supplies, he walked back over to my cot. He had that stick of golden butter-looking stuff in his hand again. He broke off a piece and handed it to me.

He nodded and said, "Here. Eat this. It's called ambrosia. It'll make all the aches and pains go away."

"Like Advil?" I asked.

Will smiled, "More or less."

I put the stuff in my mouth, and boy was it the best stuff I had ever tasted. It was warm and sweet. My whole body tingled from its goodness. I wanted some more, but I didn't want to seem greedy or anything.

I looked at Will and smiled back at him. "Thanks."

Will nodded. His smile then disappeared into a frown. "Look, I don't know what happened to Annabeth back there. She's really the coolest person you will ever meet. She would never hurt another person unless they were a threat to her friends or family."

I nodded. "Yeah. I get it I guess. Apollo had said she'd been through a lot and it's all my mom's fault."

"I don't think you realize exactly what she's been through," Will said. "Percy and her literally went through Tartarus together."

I remembered my readings from the Mythology class I took. We briefly touched on Tartarus. I know that it is where all of the monsters live or become reborn. I know that no human life can live down there. Honestly, I couldn't believe that it was true. Then, again, I have been proven wrong by many things today, and I know that Will wasn't lying. With the experience of facing two of the three-headed monsters this morning, I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by thousands, maybe even millions, of monsters let alone in a place that was inhabitable to humans. The fact that my mom had a piece in causing those horrors to become real for Annabeth and Percy, I can't honestly blame her for tearing my apart. I'm sure she must have major nightmares and problems with things that take her mind back to Tartarus, just like war veterans have PTSD.

I thought about what Will said, that Annabeth wouldn't hurt anyone unless they were a threat to anyone she cared about, and I'm the same way. If I saw the daughter of someone who had cause near death experiences and pain to anyone close to me, I wouldn't trust them. Heck, I'd think they were conspiring with the person who caused all of the problems.

I looked up at Will and nodded. "I get it. Really, I do."

Will was about to say something when someone burst through the infirmary's entrance. Apollo strode over and stood next to my cot.

"I got this Will. Why don't you head back to the cabin. It's almost time for lights out," Apollo said.

Will nodded and put down all the supplies he was holding on the table next to the cot. As he left, he waved at us and said, "Goodnight."

Apollo now turned to me. "You kinda have a lot of cuts and bruises, but you survived your first game of Capture the Flag."

I laughed and smiled. "Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for whacking those two boys with your ukulele and allowing me to go get the flag."

"My pleasure," he replied as he bowed like a butler.

He was very quirky in a way. He seemed to lighten the mood whenever he walked in to a room. Then again, I had to remind myself that he was, in fact, the sun god himself.

Apollo now stood up and took my hand.

I looked down at where he held my hand. "Ummm…what are you doing?" I said.

"I'm not making a move if that's what you're thinking," he replied smirking. "Watch this."

All of a sudden, I felt a tingle course through my veins and all throughout my body. It was a warm sensation similar to the one I felt when I ate the ambrosia, but stronger. I looked down at my right arm where the gash was. To my surprise, it was no longer there. It was as if it hadn't even existed. Even my previous scars and scrapes from years of running and having unexpected falls disappeared.

Apollo removed his hand. I looked up at him in disbelief, which was stupid because of coarse he can do stuff like that. He's a god. It was just hard to remember when a cute, normal looking teenage boy was standing in front of me.

He lifted up his hands and wiggled his fingers. "Medicine god magic."

I laughed. "Thanks…again."

"Anything for you," he said as he winked.

I hoped that this was also considered "not making a move".

"Alright, let's go. I have to show you to your new cabin," Apollo said as he grabbed my hand and hoisted me out of the cot.

After walking across the camp to where all the cabins are, Apollo and I now stood in front of two cabins that were in the center. According to Apollo, the cabins were originally set up like the god's throne room. So, naturally the King and Queen of the god's cabins would be in the center with all the others creating a semicircle around them. There were more cabins outside of the semicircle, but it was still easy to tell what the original cabins were. The two cabins in front of us looked dark and foreboding. Zeus's cabin was to my right, and Hera's cabin was to my left. The only difference between the two cabins was that the Zeus cabin at least had a little light towards the back.

Apollo saw that I was looking at it. "The Zeus cabin is currently occupied by Jason Grace. He is away at the moment."

I nodded and looked towards the Hera cabin, my cabin. It looked very old, and it seemed as though no one had been near it for years, maybe even centuries. It had a similar style front like the Parthenon, with two big stone columns lining the door frame. On top, was a giant stone peacock.

"Apollo, why is there even a Hera cabin if, you know, she's not supposed to have children?"

"It was built to be like a temple to Hera. They didn't want her to get mad for not including her, so they built one in her honor. Guess it's a good thing they did because now it's going to be used."

I looked down at my shoes, something I tend to do when I'm ashamed or feel bad because everything seems to be my fault.

Apollo looked over at me. I could sense that he probably had that same pitying look he had at the mess hall earlier that day. He then looked back at the cabin and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the lanterns, which I hadn't seen before, blazed to life at the front of the Hera cabin. The cabin now looked a bit more homey and inviting.

Apollo smirked like he does when he knows what he just did was awesome. "There. Now it's a fully furnished cabin. No cobwebs, dust, or anything like that."

"You didn't have to do that," I said. Like I said, I don't like it when people pity me, and this was definitely a pitying gesture. Either way, I was grateful that there now wasn't any cobwebs in the place.

"But thanks anyway, yet again," I said. Boy, I have thanked Apollo a ton today.

"It's no problem," he said waving me away. "It is the least I can do since you gave me another son today." He paused for a second and gritted his teeth. "Um, wait, not as in you birthed him for me… but like…oh, wow, that came out weird."

I laughed. "I know what you meant."

I then looked back at the front door to the Hera cabin and started walking in that direction. When I got to the front door I looked back in Apollo's direction, but he was already gone.

I turned back towards the front door. I put my hand on the door knob. I took a deep breath, twisted the handle, and opened the door to my mom's house.
