She came to, to Amy dragging her by the waist and the sound of her yelling in an authoritative tone.
"CLEAR OUT! MAKE ROOM IN THE INFIRMARY! I NEED AN APOLLO!"
They went under a pure white marble arch that had a name carved on it "Camp Half-Blood". That was weird because AJ is dyslexic. The next thing she noticed was that people were staring at her and making way for the two. The third thing she noticed is she was soaking wet. At first she thought it was water, which for the most part it was, but then she tasted the sour taste of blood in her mouth. Then she felt another person, a boy, grab the other side of her.
They carried her to a crowded, bustling infirmary where they set her on a cot. She pushed back the tears from pain as they laid her down.
"Her name is AJ, be careful with her I'll be back." Amy said as she closed a curtain around AJ and the boy. AJ's eyes opened slightly again, enough to barely see this boy, but black dots danced around in her eye. But she could tell that his forearms were covered in blood, she was covered in blood.
"AJ if you can hear me squeeze my hand. I am Trevor Dawn, son of Apollo, 15 years." He put his hand in her right and she squeezed it. "Ok, good. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to feel around to see what's wrong, squeeze my hand again if it hurts. Got it?" She squeezed his hand lightly, as if to say "okay.". He started assessing the damage to her leg, nothing there. He removed what was left of her prothetic and threw it aside.
Then he moved onto her arms. Nothing more than small cuts an bruises on her left arm. Every few seconds Trevor would glance at AJ's face. Onto the left arm. Right as he barely touched her hand she squeezed his hand to death.
"Okay, found it. Just, just hang in there for me ok? Let it out on my hand."
She squeezed his hand.
He started to move up her arm. She grimaced in pain and squeezed his hand harder.
"Your shoulder and elbow are dislocated, out of the socket. I'm going to have to pop 'em back in, you understand?"
AJ nodded quickly. He made her release his hands and he put his hands into position.
"Ready on the count of three. One... Two... THREE." He popped the shoulder back in which was utterly painful for AJ. "Now your elbow. One... Two-" and with two he popped it back in.
"I thought it was three!" AJ yelled weakly.
"I didn't want you to have anything to do with that any long ok?"
"Ok"
He rummaged around a cabinet next to the cot and pulled out a syringe filled with a green liquid.
"Pain killer and it'll knock you out. See you in a few." A ghost of a smile pulled at his lips. He injected the mediation and within seconds AJ was out cold again.
AJ woke up to silence, just the sound of turning pages. The morning sun was shining through a window above her cot. She felt bandages around her waist, shoulder and a few small ones on her forehead and arm.
She glanced around the room that was cut off by a tan curtain. She saw Trevor ,pushing up his glasses every once in a while to rub his eyes, who was sitting on small wooden stool reading a book,
*Harry Potter ,nice,*AJ thought.
He had short blond-brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and a lean and tall stature. His eyes were the brightest green AJ had ever seen.
He looked up from his book. When he saw that AJ was fully awake, he smiled wide.
"Hey, finally up, huh?" He asked
"Yup, how long was I out?" She signed.
"Almost two days. That mixture was very powerful." He marked his place in his book and picked up a small glass of apple juice. "Drink up." He said. Amy must've told him that AJ was mute.
"You know sign language?"
"Yeah, there is a club that campers do to learn morse code and sign language."
"I see."
"I'll help you sit up, it may hurt a bit."
Trevor helped her sit up and she drank, but it didn't taste like apple juice. It tasted like chocolate pie. She swallowed the strange liquid, not sure if she liked it or not.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Nectar. It regains your energy, and partially heals."
"It's tastes weird."
"Oh! And it tastes like your favorite food or drink. Yea, I forgot about that part."
AJ decided to keep drinking this Nectar stuff. Before she knew it, it was gone. *awww it was good.* she thought disappointed.
Trevor chuckled at her expression.
"I would give you more but if you drink too much it can incinerate you."
"That's incentive enough." AJ signed setting the glass on the table next to her, "what happened to me?"
"You may not remember, but your shoulder and elbow on your right arm got dislocated, your ribs are badly bruised, um, your stomach, solarplex area and upper chest area has huge gashes that I cleaned and stitched up after you knocked out again. They have actually healed quite a bit since Monday, two days ago, but they still have a way to go."
She looked at the bandages that covered right under her neck, next to her collarbones, and almost her whole torso, but close to all.
Before they could say anything else, Amy walked in. She still had white goat legs with green tinted fur around her hooves, slightly green hands that faded into tanned skin, and her hair was now an amber-ish color with tiny horns and little white goat ears sticking out.
"Hey, your awake!"
"Yup. so this whole Greek mythology thing was real, not a dream?"
"Yeah. Here you go, you can change into these." Amy handed her a pair of tan cargo shorts, an orange tank top with the letters "CHB", and her red converse.
"Oh, thanks." She took the bundle of clothes.
"Come on let's go check on the leg." Trevor told Amy as they stepped out.
She changed into the fresh, clean clothes gingerly, careful not to injure anything further.
"Already?!" AJ heard Trevor say.
"Yeah, it wasn't that hard. Just a simple on the side project, ya know?" A male void said. "Here you go. See you later, I need to get to working on another project." AJ heard the clatter of plastic and metal.
"AJ are you finished?"
She tapped on the ground to let him know. He came through the curtains with a new leg.
"Here you go new and improved. The last curved one got completely destroyed. We found your backup that wasn't as damaged." He handed over a new prothetic leg. She just noticed that her prothetic wasn't there when she was changing. It was the same shape as the last one ,the one that resembled a leg, but it had more improvements.
"Nice work." AJ looked the work over and strapped it on.
"By the way, the guy you should be saying that to is Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus."
"I'll make sure to thank him later." AJ smiled.
"Ok, then. Would you like a tour of the camp?" He asked.
"Sure." AJ hopped after Trevor out of the door.
She looked around and saw camp. A full ring of various cabins and then some on the side where in front of her in a bright green field of grass with a fire pit and a fountain.
"Twenty cabins in all. An arena, stables, a lake, strawberry fields, rock climbing, and defense class. Everything someone like you or me needs."
AJ gawked at the amount of people here. Kids ranging from around five to kids in high school,college and higher! They all looked genuinely happy.
