COLIN POV
It was dark. There was nothing around. Just me, floating in nothingness.I heard hushed whispers but I could'nt hear what they were saying. I struggled to my feet. My head throbbed but somewhere in me I knew I had to hear what they were saying. Their voices were so close, but so distant. I looked up and standing somwhere in the distance was my dad. He was transparent, almost like a ghost. He was wearing his usual clothes. Just jeans and a shirt. He didn't seem to realise I was there but he had a worried look on his face. "DAD!" I shouted but no sound came out. I started running twoards him to try and reach him. I stumbled and tripped on what seemed to be thin air. Untill I was right beside him. I tried to hug him but my hands went right through his transparent body. I fell to my knees and wept.
I opened my eyes. They took a few seconds to adjust to the light. Black dots danced around my line of vision. My bed seemed to rise up and down, voyaging to the ceiling and back. I tried to sit up and a wave of pain washed over me. I fell back down onto my pillow. My stomach churned and my head still throbbed fom where I hit it. The pain in my head was like nothing I had ever experienced. It felt like a thousand bombs were going off in my head. I shut my eyes tight and slowly the pain started to ease.Only a little, and very slowly,but it was better than nothing. When the pain was barable, I looked up and saw a handsome blond boy sitting beside me. "A-are you ok?" he asked. "Never better" I replied sarcastically and I threw up violently over the side of my bed.
"What happened?" I asked as soon as I got my vomiting under control. "Fractured skull. You are really lucky I got to you in time." He paused for a second to soak in all the imaginary praise. After a few seconds he stared down at me. " What? I save your life and I dont even get a thank you?" He started mumbling to himself. "I've been working my butt off taking care of you for three da- "
"THREE DAYS?!" I was shocked. My dream barely lasted a few minute and it had been three days?! At that moment a skinny boy with dark hair and a black t-shirt walked in. " Hey Will." he said to the guy, who I now knew was Will."Hey Nico," Will replied. Nico turned to me. "So, you are awake. About time too." He sat down beside Will. "Here take this." He handed me a glass of... liquid. I wasn't sure what it was. I assumed I was supposed to drink it but I didn't trust this guy, He looked sketchy."I didn't poison it." He told me. I still just looked at it not bringing it an inch closer to my mouth. "Its Nectar." Will said. "It'll make you feel better."
I took a tiny sip of it and let me tell you, it is the best thing you will ever drink. It tasted like cookies and cream ice cream, but it was warm and relaxed whole body. The pain in my head slowly started to wash away. It felt like a sip of heaven. I w-ent to take another mouthfull but Will stopped me. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. Too Much of this can kill you. For now this is enough." He pulled out a bright orange lollipop. "Here have a lollipop!" I reached out to take it. "No silly. This is for me. I have been working very hard to keep you Healthy." And he popped it into his mouth.
Nico scoffed. " Well, I gotta go train. See ya' later Will." HE stood up and walked out of the room. I turned to Will. "So is he your boyfriend?" I asked. "Yeah." He replied. "Will and Nico sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I mocked. "Shut up!" said Will playfully but I sware I heard bin say "I wish" under his breath.
"So, Will, can you fill me in on what's happened at camp?" I asked. I felt abit bad about not even knowing what Nectar was. I knew ambrosia but I was never told about Nectar, probably because I was never at camp. The only thing I knew very well was probably the story of Percy Jackson and the 7 demigods. The 7 had come and told all of camp the story of their adventure. I was very young then, but I remember every detail of story. Obviously the 7 were often seen around camp, but as I have said, Im not at camp much. The only people from the seven that even knew of my existance is Leo and Annabeth.
I met Leo at Bunker 9 when I was working on one of my inventions. I showed him some of my work and he showed me some of his. He's a really cool guy! And I met Annabeth at my cabin. Chiron had asked me to stay the night there because he felt I needed some time at camp. That night, everyone flogged around Annabeth, except me. Later that night when everyone was at the campfire she hung back with me for a bit and I told her about my social anxiety, and that I wasn't really that much of a part of camp. I also asked her (and Leo) not to tell anyone else anything about me. Then everyone would flog around me and that is the last thing I want.
Will filled me in on everything that had been happening at camp in extreme detail. Especially the parts where he had to take care of some injurie at camp (wich is quite frequantly). Soon it was evening and the effect of the Nectar were startingto wear off. Slowly my head started to throbbing again. At around 6 Will brought me some food and told me to call Chiron if I needed anything. He walked out of the room and closed the door being him.
That night I had the same dream about me and my dad. Again the whisperes were almost audiable, but again they were not. Again my dad was there, again he did not hear me. Again I fell to my knees and sobbed.
I stayed in the infirmary for a few more days. Nico occasionally popped in and Will took quite good care of me. Thanks to the Nectar and Ambrosia I was better quite soon. Chiron came in a few times to check on me. And soon I was out. Chiron insisted I stayed the night in my cabin. That night I trudged towards the campfire. When I got there everyone gathered around me. I was expecting them all to geer at me and insult me, but no. They started complimenting me?! Whoa. This was not normal. It was all "Colin how did you make those boots?" and "Those boots were sick!" and "Can I try on your boots Colin?".
I stood there flustered and wondering what to do. I started to sweat and my hands got all clammy. I didn't like being cornered by all these people, I felt trapped. I started to get dizzy and then suddenly a voice came out, louder than all the other voices. "Hey, Back off can't you see he dosen't like it!" said the voice. It was female. I looked up and infront of me was a preety girl with glossy brown hair and sea green eyes. Everyone started to back off and I heard a few "was just complimenting him" and "Geez lady, calm down"s. " Th-thanks" I mumbled. "Its ok," she smiled. "You are Colin, right?" I nodded. "Im Harper, Daughter of Poseidon." she said.
Thats it for now! WOW that took me so long to get to this! Im really bad at this sort of stuff. Hope you enjoyed annd I will try to update soon. I have more time cus of this lockdown so I'll try my best!This was a really short chapter but yeah!
