" You know how we thought my Mom had turned her ex into a statue? Well apparently we were wrong. He found me on my way home from school on the last day."
Nico gasped and looked down over Percy's body realizing why he had seemed so hurt when they had met earlier, "What hurts the most?" He asked as he moved a couple more pillows behind Percy's head. "My ankle and ribs are the worst. I think they might be broken. I ate some ambrosia but it didn't help much." He mumbled trying to shift on the bed again without getting hurt more.
Nico nodded and propped his ankle up on a couple pillows," Can I look? I know how to take care of this kind of stuff." Percy just nodded shivering slightly as Nico's cold fingers gently pulled up his shirt to reveal the bruises that started below his jeans and went all the way up his ribcage and wrapped around his shoulder which looked like it was dislocated. "Well this explains why your arm was hardly moving earlier…...I hate to ask, but what did he do? I kinda need to know so I know where to check for the injuries."
Percy hesitated but looked up at Nico. "He drug me into an old apartment building that I passed on my way home. He told me to give him the new key to my mom's place. When I said no he grabbed my arm and tried to take me somewhere, but I pulled away and hurt my shoulder. The force of the pull caused me to fall and I hit my head on the floor. I guess he decided to try and stop me from being able to run, he kicked me in the ribs and then stomped on my ankle and wrist. I heard it crack and I screamed. I remembered that he kept a pocket knife in his boot and I grabbed it and stabbed him in the leg before going home as quick as I could. I grabbed my stuff for camp and the first aid kit form my bathroom and left before my mom got home."
By this time Nico was pissed, the air in the cabin had gotten dangerously lower the angrier he got and it was starting to freak Percy out. He quickly grabbed Percy's bag and riffled through it, grabbing the first aid kit and opening it. "Okay, this will probably hurt, but you have to stay as still as possible while I'm doing this. I don't want you to get more hurt than you already are. Okay?" The older teen nodded his consent and watched Nico with a curious look in his eyes, wondering what the Ghost King was talking about. "What are you going to do?" He asked only to be ignored by Nico as he looked through the first aid kit pulling out things here and there and setting them in the bed next to Percy's side. "Do you trust me?"
