Hi! So this chapter is much longer than the other chapter. Also feed back is greatly appreciated as this is my first fanfic.]
Jason:
When we got on the Argo II I immediately lead everyone down to the infirmary to coach Hedge. Frank and I placed Percy carefully down on a cot and stepped back to let coach look at him.
"Gods Jackson, what did you get yourself into?" Coach muttered as he looked the unconscious boy up and down. "Grace! Don't just stand there, help me get these rags off him!" I ran over and grabbed a pair of scissors to cut his shirt off with. It was hard getting the first one off, it was sticky and soaked with blood and hard to cut. Once I got it off I started on his camp Half-blood shirt that didn't need much cutting. It was shredded to bits and just need a few snips and was off. What I saw under it though made my stomach do summersaults.
Apart from the blood and scabs and bruises everywhere he had three large, deep claw marks that raked across his body. The top one started at the left base of his neck just above his collarbone and traveled down to bellow his right ribs. The middle one started at the top of his shoulder and came down to his hip. The third started just below his armpit and stopped where his leg met his torso. I was shocked to see that he wasn't dead then remembered he had been a few minuets ago.
I turned to see Hazel running out of the room with her hands over her stomach and mouth while Frank followed. Leo was in the corner taking deep breaths while Piper was distracting her self with cleaning up Annabeth with a wet rag. Nico was no where to be seen but I could hear him yelling at someone out side the door.
"Valdez!" Coach yelled causing Leo to snap his head up "Go get a bath started, I can't do anything until these wounds are clean. They look to be about done bleeding but they are dirty. Plus the water might help him heal." Leo nodded and ran off to the bathroom. "Grace I need more rags, go with Leo to get them." I nodded and pulled away from Percy's side.
When I left the room I was shocked to see who Nico was yelling at. Right at the end of the hallway just past the bathroom door stood Nico with his Stygion iron sword pointed to the god of Death himself. I my self have never seen Thanotos but from what I've heard from Hazel and Frank this was definitely him. He looked rather sad and mournful standing with Nico's sword at his throat. Then I heard what Nico was yelling about and understood everything.
"No! You can back to my dad or the Fates themselves and tell them to fuck off! You are not getting them!!" Thanotos was here for Percy and Annabeth.
Something shattered inside me and I felt all my anger, rage, and grief boil over. Those two demigods had done more for the gods themselves then I could ever imagine. They went through Tartarus and survived for gods sakes! He was not going to let Thanotos take them away, not after they just got out. I was about to yell and unleash everything at the god but someone beat me to it.
"You better be here to say 'thank you for saving me' or just dropping by to say hello to your favorite demigods because I know you are not here to collect Percy and Annabeth's souls. I know you are not here for them, not after Percy saved you in Alaska. If you are then I suggest you leave immediately because there are 6 very powerful demigods on this ship who will not hesitate to fight a god for those two. I suggest you leave and go collect somebody else's soul." Hazel of all people was the one who created the out burst. I had never seen her so angry and I'm definitely glad she's not angry at me. Everyone but coach Hedge was in the hall now, Piper and Nico had their blades out, Leo was on fire and Frank was a very scary, very big, black bear.
Thanotos mumbled some Greek curses under his breath before disappearing. Nobody moved for what felt like forever but finally Hazels ran to the bathroom to vomit while Frank and Leo followed her. When I went in I saw Hazel over the toilet and Frank holding her hair back and rubbing circles on her back. Leo was sitting in the edge of the bathtub watching it fill. I didn't say anything as I grabbed the rags, though there wasn't much I could've said if I did open my mouth. When I came out Nico and Piper were back in the infirmary.
I went in and handed the rags to coach and helped him move Percy to the bath. Hazel and Frank had cleared which left Leo who was standing on the toilet out of the way. When we placed Percy in the water it immediately started crawling up his skin and welcoming him. It helped heal most of the smaller wounds into scars and took away the rashes and bruises, but it did little to help the three massive claw marks across his chest.
Coach handed me one of the rags and said "stay here and clean him up. Make sure you get all the wounds clean and start a new bath if the water gets too dirty" And so I did. I started with his face then moved onto his neck and shoulders carful not to hurt him.
Piper:
I was back by Annabeth's side dipping the dirty rag I was using to clean her off in the dirty water. I couldn't bring my self to leave her, she had been so close and if it weren't for Hazel and Nico she would be gone. I heard Coach Hedge come in but didn't pay him any attention until he grabbed my wrist to stop me from cleaning her.
"We need to get her shirts off to examine her wounds. I sent Nico to go get Hazel and some clothes for her." He seemed more gentle than I had ever seen him before, "I'll get clean water while you two get her undressed. I won't look but I'll be in the corner giving you two instructions." I nodded and he took the bowl and rag.
He left and Hazel came in with some of Annabeth's pajama shorts and bandages. I started cutting away at her two shirts until I cut through her camp shirt and saw a nasty long cut on her side, it disappeared into her pants and to her back. I looked up and saw Hazel staring at the same cut.
"We need to flip her over" I started moving my hands to her back but felt Hazel stop me.
"We need to cut her pants to see how far down it goes."
I didn't see how that was more important but started cutting anyways, I was not in the mood to argue with her. When I got her pants off I saw how scrapped up her knees and legs were and saw that the laceration had ended at the side of her knee. It was scabbed over but looked like it was getting an infection which it probably was.
"Back now?" Hazel nodded and we flipped her onto her side. The wounds started at the top of her left shoulder and cut all the way down to her right hip where it went straight down to the side of her knee and stopped. I winced at how painful it must have been to get that. We had removed everything but her undergarments which I refused to take off her underwear. We placed her back on her back and I turned to coach Headge who's head was in the corner of the room, "Do we take off her... bra?" There was a long pause before he responded.
"Yes. Clean up her chest and back area then wrap it up with a bandage" So we cut through her white sports bra (though white was the last color I would use to describe it) and began cleaning.
It took about an hour and a half to finish cleaning her and her wounds completely but we didn't dare touch her hair. We wrapped her chest up in ace bandages and put on some of her pajama shorts. It was another hour before they brought Percy in. He had on new shorts and his torso had gauze pads tapped with medical tape over his wounds as did Annabeth. Everyone left except for coach me and Jason.
"We can give them some ambrosia and nectar in an hour, for now they need rest" Coach left looking worried. I couldn't take my eyes off Annabeth or Percy what happened to them? What did they see down there? I was ripped away from my thoughts when I felt Jason's hand on my shoulder.
"You should go get something to eat or rest, I'll watch after them. It'll be ok, we got them and they are alive." I wanted to protest but my stomach rumbled and I realized that I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was past dinner time now. I got up and kissed his cheek before going to the kitchen to grab some food, still wondering what had happened to the two demigods.
