Okokok I KNOW this isn't the exact day after but just be lucky I managed to get another chapter up before I disappear for a week and a half. YES I LEAVE TOMORROW and you all have no idea how freakishly excited I am :D I LOVE traveling by plane. It's so much fun ^_^ and with all my friends too!

As soon as I get back I'll whip up another chapter for you all.

Enjoy! C:

I was peacefully floating through empty space until the terrifying feeling of falling interrupted this sensation of serenity and I jerked awake. Immediately I was confused, it was still dark, but why? I was on the floor and I slowly sat up, craning my neck around trying to see if I could figure out where I was. The entire place was completely dark except for my glowing body. I stared down at my hands and noticed how slightly transparent I was.

"Am I dead?" I asked out loud.

"Oh not at all," a voice said.

I froze and the hairs on my neck stood straight up as my skin crawled. Slowly, I turned my torso around to see an incredibly familiar face.

"Hera," I hissed, "What have you done this time? Where are we?"

"What have I done? Oh absolutely nothing, as to where we are? I do believe we're in your mind," she concluded.

"What happened? I was in the hospital and now..."

"Bah, you just passed out," she said lazily and waved me away like some sort of servant as she turned around.

I glared at her back, making sure that my mind was in check and not insulting her. Though I would've had plenty to say, I couldn't risk becoming a pile of ashes.

"If this is my mind, what are you doing here?" I asked, slowly standing up. Apparently being inside of my mind didn't change anything with my injuries, everything still hurt like a bitch and I groaned as my stiff joints complained.

"I don't know, there was nothing else to do I suppose," Hera sighed. I watched her, never letting my eyes stray from her back.

I grumbled, knowing full well that there was something on her mind that related to me. She simply stood there for what felt like hours with her back to me when all of a sudden she turned and faced me, making me jump from her sudden movement.

"Don't screw up the future Percy," she said. Her eyes were cold and menacing unlike before when she was more teasing.

And then she just disappeared. Poof. Gone. Vanished. I stood there for a while, wondering what to do and what would happen next. Eventually I gave into my fatigue and sat down, gripping my still throbbing head and tried to process what had just happened. Hera was most definitely up to something; did she have something to do with the camp we were heading to?

To my horror the floor disappeared and I was falling again. When I woke up though I was back in my hospital bed and the light above me blinded my eyes, burning my retinas. I looked around and those black blotches that you see after staring at a light were dancing around my vision which made it hard for me to focus. I felt a mask on my face covering my mouth and nose and cool oxygen flowing into my lungs. It was soothing.

I feebly coughed, trying to avoid yet another coughing fit and tried to focus my eyes on something. I could hear voices talking softly coming from outside the room and I turned my head in their direction. My eyesight frustrated me, going in and out of focus which made me feel dizzy. All I could make out was three blurry figures in the doorway.

"Oh he's awake now," I heard Apollo's voice say.

I watched as his figure moved towards and me and his face became somewhat clearer.

"Hey, can you hear me?" he asked.

I stared at him for a moment, waiting for my eyes to actually focus as they were still acting wonky.

"Percy? Can-you-hear-me?" he asked a little louder this time and he paused between each word, as if trying to speak to a toddler.

"Yeah..." I croaked; my throat hurt like something had scraped down it with sharp claws.

"You went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing," he explained.

"Huh..." I said quietly, and then I remembered, "I saw Hera."

Apollo's eyes widened at my sudden change of tone, "What did she want?"

"I don't know but she told me not to screw up the future."

"Best be careful Percy, she's a sneaky one," he warned.

I saw Annabeth and Grover waiting awkwardly in the door fame. Apollo followed my gaze and waved them in with a smile.

"You scared the shit out of me kelp head," Annabeth teased, I could see the smile she was trying to hide.

"How long until he's ok to travel?" Jason asked Apollo.

"We'll let him rest today. With some nectar and ambrosia he should be fine to check out tomorrow."

"Good because we need to get going," Annabeth said, studying a folded map she got from her back pocket.

I settled down into the sheets of the bed as Annabeth continued to explain our next route. I sort of half listened as my eyes started drooping and my breathing slowed. I was just about to fall asleep when someone burst into the room.

"Percy! We found you!"
