Piper sat next to her last patitent of the day with sigh. She knew it was important that she learn nursing skill just in case the other two knew nothing about it but when they're unconusiousness it is little boring. Annabeth was garthing things for her trip to Camp Jupiter. She was so excited to see Percy again but something in her felt like it was cuaght on a rock. Something was holding her back from leaving earlier. Argus had his shoulder pressed up against the doorway looking up at the noon-day sun, while keeping one eye on his friend. The air was silent and still. Piper turned to Annabeth and a conversation started about what Camp Jupiter would be like and how Percy was doing.
"Gover? Wait you're too pretty to be Gover." The girl sat up with a groan and a hand to through her hair. "So then where is the satyr and who are you? Wait don't answer that last one." Her voice was quiet and her eyes squezzed shut. Piper ran a hand through her own dark hair.
"I'm Piper McLean and this is Annabeth Chase. I don't know where Gover is... Annabeth?" She set down her things softly and took a seat.
"Um... he's with his girlfriend," "Gover has a girlfriend," The girl stressed that word.
"How had that not come up?"
"Um... so what's your name?" Her eyes searched the hardwood floor beanth the cot.
"Right... because I have one of those..." Agrus' eyes caught sight of her awake and stumbling to lie.
"Emma, you're awake," He rushed over and hugged her.
"Agrus, oh thank gods, ow" She hugged the multi-eyed man with hestation and grabbed her bandage shoulder with a hiss of pain.
"You two know each other?" Annabeth question getting new recurits to not be freaked out by Agrus took awhile.
"You can talk?" The whole time she had been at Camp Halfblood, which was at least six months, he had never said a word.
"Ok... Ok who stabbed me? And why is it so hot in here?" Agrus' voice was strong and rough from silence and was full of worry.
"What did you give her?"
"Just a little amboius," Piper's voice spilled in defense and confusion.
"Agrus, it's fine. I can fight her off and I needed to go unconissous anyway." She laid her head down, leaning back softly, giving him a reassuring nod as her eyelids fluttered closed.

She woke up an hour later, her shoulder was unhealed but Piper gave her the tour on the way to Agro II anyway.
"I know it's alot to take in. The fact that the dead-beat parent is god. Is it your mother or father?" Piper said in, what Emma heard as, a pity and condisending voice.
"Well, it's my mother. Why are these people staring at me?" Will, Nyssa, Jake, Clarriss, Travis, Conner, Mitchell, Clovis and Drew were watching her from across the feild. Piper strolled over to the group with Emma in tow. The whole time Piper was saying these amazing things Emma was unresponsive almost like she had heard it all before. Maybe these guys could talk to her because she had even restored to putting power into her voice and yet nothing. Emma stayed quiet.
"Um... Can you give me a second Piper?" Piper nodded and Emma walked off to the restrooms. The moment the girl was out of sight the mist kicked in like it always does. Emma looked back at the group of people with sudden sadness washing over her, knowing they would not remember, ever. She had to talk Gover or Chiron but first she had to get cleaned up. She sunk into the shadows and into the forest as Piper spoke with her friends and Drew.
