A.N This story has been sitting on my drive, it seems, for the past 8 months. It's one of my better ones and for that reason I was daunted with the task of completing it. Yet, there is a part of me that can't leave things unfinished. To everyone who commented- thank you. As someone who loves to write, any praise is unexpected and exciting. Hopefully you haven't lost interest in this story. If you have I don't blame you, 8 months is a long time to go waiting. But be prepared, for those of you who have forgotten about this small, unimportant two chapter faction I have taken it upon myself to recapture your attention.

"Chiron's office 10 minutes." She called over her shoulder. I headed out the door. By the time I got to the office my head my pounding. I had pulled on a hoodie and was still shivering even though it was easily over 70 degrees. I walked into the office Thalia was sitting across from Mr. D and Chiron. I stumped into the chair next to her wrapping my arms around myself. They all looked at me, I glanced around the room but didn't say anything. Chiron cleared his throat.

"We wanted to hear your accord of the incident that happened the other day." He looked over me. I felt like I needed to lay down. "Percy if you're not up to this we can do it later, tomorrow even." I didn't want to seem weak. Even if I did have a good excuse.

"Naw, I'm fine. Let's get this over with." My voice was slightly horse. I let Thalia do most of the talking I was having a hard time following the conversation. Aside from the occasional nod, or "no sir." I was unusually quiet.

"Well I've come to the conclusion that because of the no violence police here at camp you should both be asked to leave. But because of special circumstances." He said it like it was a sour candy "I have decided that you will both repair the damage, add on a few weeks cleaning duty and we'll call it even." He sounded miserable. I rubbed my chest with my hand trying to ebb the discomfort. Thalia's eyes flashed over to me.

"Thank you that is very generous." She said. And stood. I tried to stand but my head felt like it was full of cotton and I fell forward bracing on the desk. I shook my head quickly clearing my thoughts and stood straight.

"Just lost my balance." I said with as convincing a grin as I could muster. "Thanks for not kicking us out of camp I appreciate it," I said. Chiron looked at me concerned.

"Porter Jesceve, it's not often I interfere with camper affaires, but you look like you're about to keel over in my office. If you could kindly not die on my rug I'd appreciate it," Mr. D droned.

"I'm alright. Don't we have damaged to clean or something?" I said taking a step to the door. My legs were wobbly and I did my best to hide it but I don't think I was fooling anyone. Once we were outside I put my hand against the porch support beam and caught my breath.

"Percy-" Thalia started.

"I just need a minute." I said quickly.

"I think you should go back to your cabin and lay down. Not be clearing debris." The aching in my chest amplified. My head spun suddenly and I slid down the beam so I was sitting on the porch. I

leaned my head back and closed my eyes. There was a building pressure on my chest. I didn't want to admit it, but something was very, very not right.

"I don't feel so good." I mumbled. Thalia looked down at my sheet white, sweaty face.

"Oh my gods... I told you!" She turned to look around for anyone. She reached down to pull me to my feet. I went basically limp and she grunted as she dragged me, my arm over her shoulders. I tried to follow with her but the heaviness on my shoulders was digging my feet into the ground.

"W-Wait," I said out of breath. "Not so fast I-" a sharp pain gouged through my ribcage. I pressed my hand against my chest. I cried out, Thalia bobbed in front of me.

"Jackson what's…" Her hands faltered. "Oh gods!" She was panicking, wonderful. I wanted to communicate but I couldn't focus on breathing let alone forming words. The world started to dim. I felt like my skull was tingling. I slipped out of Thalia's hands and hit the ground like a stone.

The first thing I heard was a rumbling deep voice. I very much did not want to open my eyes. There were hands on my face and shoulders, I turned my face away. I wanted to yell at them to leave me alone. More touching on my cheeks and head. They keeps saying my name over and over again. It was getting annoying. I swatted at their hands and cracked my eyes open. At first I didn't understand why I was looking at the sky. The very worried face of Thalia came into my line of sight. Beside her a curious Will was bending over, hands on his knees staring at me."Oh gods please don't tell me I fainted," I mumbled a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. She suddenly looked very pissed off. She slapped my shoulder not gently. "Hey-" she got up and paced a little.

"You idiot!"

"I'm lost…" I said.

"You didn't just pass out!" Thalia shouted at me. "Your heart…" I knit my eyebrows and looked at Will.

"I think you had a heart attack or something," he said, poking my chest.

"Ow!" I said knocking away his hands. "Heart attack? Or something?"

"Well I'm not exactly experienced with this extend of electrocution!"

"Am I ok?" I asked. I felt normal, sore maybe.

"I'm not sure." I looked at him like he was crazy. "Well I can't exactly examine you on the front yard!" He said exasperated. I closed my eyes and leaned back in the grass. I started to sit up, struggling to my elbows. "Oh, ok," Will said taking my elbow and helping me up. Once I was upright I started to feel it. It was like a dull ache in my everywhere. I grimaced. "Does it hurt?" Thalia asked.

"Well it doesn't feel good." We made our way- slowly to the medical center. I sat down on the bed and eased back against the pillows. I had one of the worst headaches of my life. Will kept shining a stupid little light in my eyes. Finally he said,

"Good news, wasn't a heart attack." I sighed in relief. "Not so spectacular news, I have no idea what's wrong with you." He listened to my heart, "on one hand it just be a fluke. You are still pretty banged up. But there is the possibility that the electricity caused more damage."

"I've been hit with lightning before, this isn't a new thing for me. Why all of a sudden is this such a big deal?"

"You might have been electrocuted before but this time your heart took the brunt of it. Even for a powerful demigod the heart, it's pretty fragil."

"How long until I'm good to go?" Will shrugged. "Great. Real helpful thanks," I muttered.

"Hey! I'm the one who dragged your sorry backside from the brink of death. Maybe instead of taking all your teen angst out on the medical professionals you could try focusing on not being a colossal as-"

"Guys!" Thalia exclaimed this isn't helping anything. I looked down,

"Sorry." Will sighed,

"Whatever, it's fine. You're not the first difficult patient I've had, I doubt you'll be the last."

"To be fair your bedside manner could use some work," I said.

"It's not everyday I'm stumped. It's… Frustrating," Will poked my cheek looking intently in my eyes like the diagnosis was going to be written on my pupils.

"Comforting…" Will stepped back and held up his hands.

"Just drink your nectar, and don't do anything stupid, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Wow, I see why they made you head counselor," I said. Will huffed rolling his eyes,

"I have other campers to check on. I'll be back later, try not to die." Will started to walk out, "and Thalia, next time do me a favor and aim for his head." Once he was gone Thalia crossed her arms,

"Wow Jackson, I'm impressed it takes a lot to get to Will. I don't think I've ever seen him get so irritated."

"Yeah well," I muttered wrapping my arms around my stomach, "driving people nuts is my specialty, just ask Annabeth." Annabeth, I thought. She's going to get a kick out of telling me 'I told you so'. "Maybe we don't tell her just yet?"

"She probably already knows, and if she doesn't she's going to find out as soon as Will updates Chiron," Thalia said.

"Wonderful." My head was aching. Thalia looked obviously uncomfortable. She picked up the glass of nectar off the table.

"Here," he said, holding it up for me to take a sip.

"Thanks," I looked away. It bothered me a little, ok, a lot that she was the one still standing. Is never wish this on anyone, but… I don't like being down. Being weak, defeated. The nectar was making me tired.

"You should get some rest. Try and sleep it off," Thalia said.

"I just need to close my eyes for a minute," I said. My dreams were strange, even by Demigod standards. Blackjack was there, except he insisted on riding me. And Grover was there but he had legs, like human legs, and the body of a male model.

"Percy, this is not the time for pony rides! We have a wedding dress to finish!" The dream pulsed and I was sitting in a lounge chair on the beach Annabeth walked over.

"Isn't this beautiful?" She asked. She pulled her camp t-shirt over her head. She was wearing a bikini top underneath. I stared at her, she didn't look bad in her minimalistic swimwear. She slid off her jeans to expose goat legs! She sat in a lawn chair,"Aw that's better!" the world shifted again and I was laying in bed at home, my mom was sitting next to me dabbing my forehead with a damp cloth,

"You always have the strangest dreams when you're sick Percy. But that's all they are dreams. Nothing to be scared of," she said. I looked out my bedroom window, my room was underwater, seaweed drifted behind the glass. I looked back at mom but her face had morphed into Some fish/ human hybrid. I screamed. "Just dreams Percy," she blubbed. I gasped, jerking myself awake. Will was standing next to my bed, he was flipping through a worn book.

"Sorry if I startled you," he said. I was sweating, my pillow was damp. I swallowed a throat full of cotton. I was shivering,

"gods it's freezing!" I said. Will looked at me strangely. I felt like I was going to be sick. He placed a hand on my forehead.

"You're burning up," he said. He stripped the blanket off the bed. I curled up on my side, "I don't understand! You were only asleep for half an hour!" I reached out a hand for the glass on the bedside table. "No, no," will said. Pushing my arm back. "No more nectar, probably had a bit too much as it is. Can't have you bursting into flames in my hospital. You'd ruin the curtains." He slid the glass out of my reach. I heard Thalia's voice from outside the room. She was talking to someone,

"We were walking from the Big House and he passed out." footsteps stormed into the room.

"Percy! I told you you were still injured!" Annabeth said angrily, but that anger melted off the minute she saw me.

"That bad?" I asked seeing her reaction.

"What happened." She asked. I shrugged shaking a little harder.

"I just don't feel so good that's all." I tried to keep it light but my chest was pounding. Will stepped over and looked at my face and turned my chin to look at my neck.

"Don't sweat man, we'll cool you off, get this fever under control and you'll be good as new in no time," he said. His voice was confident, but his face showed worry. I closed my eyes and slipped back into restless sleep.

If you got to this point firstly, thanks for reading- means a lot. And secondly I want to be clear I am not finished with this yet. There will be more, and if you enjoyed this story I'll do my best not to keep you waiting too long. I love reading comments, positive ones are fun, who doesn't want to be showered with praise. But good stories are built on criticism. I want to write a story people enjoy reading! If you don't like it, tell me=
why. Am I boring you? Let me know, I'll change things up a bit. We're on this sight because we aren't famous authors with a team of publicists and proofreaders (yet). We need to stick together, help each other out. If you took a second to read this, I applaud you I wouldn't have. I'll do my best not to fall of the face of the earth and hit you all up with a timely next chapter. Until next time, I can never tell
