Chapter 9
Everyone was worried about Apollo and Meg, but there was nothing that you could do now besides wait. The campers return to their normal activities, but I couldn't concentrate enough to go and help with the training, so I just went back to the Big House. And I wasn't alone, Chiron was there with me.
"What is going on in that head of yours?" Chiron asked.
"This can't be good, Oracles coming back. These three figures that we don't know who they are. I don't have a good feeling about this." I replied.
"I agree, and we can't do nothing for now." Chiron agreed.
"Let's hope that everything goes well with Apollo and Meg." I said.
I hated when I couldn't do anything while others were putting themselves in danger, but would be that wrong for me to go with them? We had decided to keep an eye on the forest, Will was the first one to keep watch and had change with Nico a few hours later. Now it was my turn.
"You should go rest now." I said to Nico.
"What do you think is going on?" Nico asked.
"I have no idea. There is no way to know until they are back." I replied.
"Does this all thing connect to why you are really here?" Nico asked.
I laughed at the statement, knowing that he was one of the few that probably wouldn't believe that I was there just to help around camp.
"Why are you asking that?" I replied.
"Well, you show up of nowhere and then about a month later Apollo shows up in a human body and you were able to recognize him." He started. "Plus, the all mystery around your Godly parent."
"To be honest, that was really a hunch. I had heard he was going to be punished, and in his record, is always something like this." I explained.
"Wait. You heard he was going to be punished. There is only one place you would hear something like that. You were at Olympus, weren't you?" He questioned.
"Opps, I guess I spoke to much again." I started. "Don't think to much of that though." I added.
Me and my big mouth.
"But how, for any halfblood to go there it as to be with a good excuse or the same was called to be there." Nico said.
"Like I said, don't think to much of it." I said again. "You should go rest."
"I'm fine, I don't need to rest. I am more interested on your story." He said
"Believe me, my story is not that interesting." I told him.
"So, how many times you were in Olympus?" He asked me, ignoring what I said.
"What if I say I can't answer to that question?" I asked him.
"Why not?" He questioned.
I laugh again, he really wasn't going to give up, was he? I looked at the night sky for a minute, would Zeus be mad if I told Nico about me living all my life in Olympus? I took a deep breath and thought to myself, screw it. I already I have to hide the fact that my father was…
"I lived all my life there." I finally said.
"You did what?" Nico said surprised. "Why?"
"For that answer you will have to wait a little longer." I replied.
"Was it because of who your Godly parent is?" He asked.
"Aren't you the sharp one." I said.
"But why? All the others are here at camp." He questioned.
"Long story, that you will hear in a different day." I replied.
Nico was about to say something more. However, we both heard noised coming from the forest and that caught our attention. We stand up from where we were and followed the sound, and then we found Apollo laying down on the floor, bleeding from his head.
"Go and wake up Will, tell him what happen. I will take him to cabin 7." I told Nico.
He ran from there, and I went to pick up Apollo and carried him on my back.
"What in the Hades happen to you." I whispered.
I rushed to cabin 7, where I could see Nico and Will at the door. When they saw me they both rush to meet me.
"How about Meg?" Will asked.
"She wasn't there, once I put him in the bed I will go back." I said.
I took him inside the cabin and laid him in the bed that Will had prepared for him.
"I will look for Meg now." I told them and left the cabin.
I was already out of the cabin when a hand grabbed my arm.
"I will go with you." Nico said.
"I'm fine going alone." I told him freeing my arm.
"You have no idea what is around there. Is not safe to go alone. Not after Apollo shows up like this." Nico said walking by my side.
"Fine. But if anything, out of hand happens you get out of there in the same second." I warned him.
We both rushed to the place where we had found Apollo and looked around for a while, but there was no sign of Meg anywhere. We wait a little longer but when there were still no indications of her presence we went back to cabin 7. Will had taken care of the injury, but Apollo was still asleep. Nico had doze off in one of the chairs, I was sitting at the end of the bed waiting for him to wake up, and Will was going around to make sure the wound was healing properly.
"What do you think happen?" Will asked.
"Anything could have had happen. Him showing up only with that wound was lucky. And we still have no idea what happen to Meg." I replied.
"I hope she's fine." Will said.
"Me too." I agreed.
It was there that Apollo suddenly stood up and grabbed the vase on the window.
"Do not what? Please don't leave me again." Apollo said out of nowhere.
"Guys is it normal for him to be talking to the flowers?" Nico asked.
"Apollo, you had a concussion." I started.
"I took care of it but." Will informed.
"The hyacinths, were they always here?" Apollo asked ignoring all of us.
"To tell you the true, I don't know from where they showed up." Will started. "However, we should worry more about you."
