Chapter Fifteen: Luke POV: Agreement

I carried Thalia carefully down the hill towards the Big House. It looked different than the last time I had seen it. It seemed to have recently been painted light green, and the trim and porch had been touched up a bit, but they were still white like before.

Chiron looked up from his book when he heard us coming. He set his lemonade glass on the table next to him and stood up quickly from his wheelchair. The Chiron I knew never got angry, but I could see that he had an angry glint in his eyes.

"Luke Castellan." He acknowledged. "I see you are with Ms. Grace as well. I would have assumed that the next time you showed up you would have brought some of your nasty little friends, maybe even Kronos himself to attack Camp Half-Blood."

I helped Thalia sit in one of the deck chairs and raised my hands in front of me. "I'm not here to attack our camp. We need to talk."

Chiron looked at me, still untrusting. "Very well. Let's go somewhere more private."

"Chiron," I said, as he beckoned for me to follow him into the Big House, "Thalia needs medical attention. Can we speak in the infirmary?"

Chiron nodded and we went through the Big House to the infirmary. There was only one person in there, Will Solace from the Apollo cabin. He was making the beds. "Hello, Will," Chiron said. "Thalia requires urgent medical attention, and it seems that I have matters to discuss with her and Mr. Castellan. Could you give her a check-up, please?"

"Uh, yeah," Will stammered, although he seemed surprised to see that Chiron was with none other than me, the servant of Kronos.

I set Thalia down on one of the beds and Will hurrried over to her. I pulled a chair up to the bed to talk.

I told Chiron everything, from the part where I visited Annabeth and Thalia's apartment to the part where the Hippocampi dropped us off on the beach. Thalia chimed in to include the parts I forgot.

"I see," Chiron said. "Luke, I had always hoped that you would return to camp, but you understand that there is no way for me to be sure that you have really changed and intend us no harm."

"I understand, Chiron." I said. "Do what you need to do. I hope that someday you'll realize I've changed."

Chiron nodded. "You will need to stay here, in the Big House, and Argus will be, ah, keeping an eye on you, so to speak. I do hope that what you say is true and you really have changed. I always had high hopes for you. Follow me." He trotted out of the infirmary. I stood up and glanced at Thalia, who was watching me. I didn't want to leave her, but I did what Chiron asked and followed him out of the room.

We, well, I walked, and Chiron trotted out of the room and down the hall to the extra bedroom at the back of the Big House. He beckoned me inside. "I hope you understand I will need to do a search of the camp to confirm your statement," he said. I nodded. "You must stay here, as none of the campers know that you are here yet. I will announce it at tonight's campfire, after which you may walk around the camp as you wish, as long as Argus goes with you. I'm sure your siblings will be pleased to hear of your change of heart." He patted my shoulder. "It's good to have you back, lad."
