AN: I will no longer ask for 5 reviews because yarnybear led me to the light. But I would appreciate it if you gave me ideas. Oh yeah and the last chapter was supposed to be called Thalia + Heights Scared Thalia, but I guess I'm not allowed to do signs other than letters

I leaned against Blackjack, waiting to see the plane Alex had been in to pull up. I had not expected them to actually follow me and do it so quickly. I, finally, saw their plane touch down. I, quickly, mounted Blackjack and he took off, flying towards the plane. I slipped off of him when he landed and I ran towards the plane, as Alex came out.

"Jon!" she exclaimed, while hugging me, "if you ever leave so you can go play hero I will kick your ass!"

"Nice to see you too, Alex," I replied and she laughed.

I turned around to thank Blackjack, but he was already gone whinnying in fear from the monster that had stuck up behind us. It was a giant crab. It had a bright red shell with huge pincers that kept snapping. It was almost the size of the plane and it looked pissed.

"Can I not get a freaking break?" I muttered, pulling out my bow.

"That would be too easy," Alex answered, pulling her sword out.

"I'm not going to be the one that gets covered in eye juice this time," I declared.

"Shut up and fight you two," Thalia ordered and she charged into battle.

I ran after her, letting the arrows fly, but of course the crab's shell deflected the arrows. I aimed at its eye and I let the arrow speed towards its target, but the crab blocked the arrow with its pincher.

"Go for its underbelly!" Thalia shouted.

I sprinted at the crab, almost getting under it, but at the last moment the crab hit me away. I was sent flying, almost twenty feet away, and I landed on the hard tarmac. The crab walked (do crabs walk?) over to me and it snapped its pincers in victory. It picked me up with its pincer and intense pain shot through my whole body.

I looked, in horror, at the crab's pincer. My blood was slowly seeping out and covering me and the crab in it. My vision soon began to tunnel and I was feeling immensely dizzy.

"Jon!" I heard Alex shout, but it sounded far away and slow.

Finally I let go and I was greeted by darkness.

"Jon," I heard someone whisper, "wake up, Jon, you have to wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes to see Alex and Thalia leaning over me with worry in their eyes. I slowly got up with Alex helping me.

"What happened?" I asked.

"The crab pinched you and took a chunk out of your side and we had to patch it up," Thalia explained and I looked at my side. It was covered in white bandages that were slowly getting a dark tint, "but we can't stop the bleeding."

"So, I'm going to die?" This was just not my day.

"Yes," Thalia replied, sadly.

"We have to do something!" Alex exclaimed, panicking.

"Pray," I muttered and they looked at me, "pray and the gods may grant me a way to live."

They both got down on their knees and they began to pray. I tried to pray with them, but the pain kept leading me away from it. Eventually I drifted in and out of consciousness.

"I know how we can save him!" Alex exclaimed, "We can use the aloe that we got from the tree."

"But it's poisoned aloe," I protested.

"You're going to die anyway, so it's worth a shot," Thalia urged.

"Thanks, that makes me feel so much better," I replied sarcastically, "fine we can use it. But I'm not drinking it, am I?"

"No, we need to put it on the wound," Thalia explained and then she began to undress the wound.

As she got closer and closer to the wound the bandages turned redder and redder, making me sick. Finally, she got to the wound and I almost passed out from the sight. It was bright red, with some of my internal organs hanging out. And believe me; I never planned on knowing what my small intestine looked like.

"Oh gods, that is so gross!" Alex exclaimed in disgust.

"You're telling me!" I replied.

Thalia then began to lather the aloe all over my cut. I winced from the stinging sensation the aloe caused and Thalia's hand moving over my organs. Finally, I was able to pass out when Thalia and Alex began to re-bandage me.

I woke up to the sight of a crackling fire, with Alex stoking it. I, slowly, got up, still in pain from my "little" cut.

"What happened?" I asked and Alex looked at me in surprise.

"Oh, Jon, you're alive!" She exclaimed, excited (well, at least I hope she was), "We thought you might die!"

I looked down at my side and lone behold it was there again. My bandages had been removed and I was looking at my bare skin. It now looked as if I had borrowed someone's side for a day because I could, clearly, see the section that had been taken by the crab.

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"Ummm, let's see," Alex said as she thought, "about two days. It was pretty weird to see you gaining back your side. Every time I came back from hunting there was more of you."

I, slowly, stood up and I was greeted by sharp pain rocketing throughout my body. Alex ran over to me in concern, but I ushered her away, I needed to get better so I could kick some serious Titan ass.

"Jon, maybe you should take it easy," Alex suggested, the worry showing in her eyes, "just until you fully heal."

"Alex," I began, looking straight in her eyes, "I need to kill Ouranos before he gains his old body back. I can't let him destroy the Western Civilization."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Macho Man," she replied, sarcastically.

I began to walk around the camp, overcoming the excruciating pain that I was experiencing. I looked more like a hunched over old man, than a fourteen year-old half-blood that was supposed to save the world.

"Who's the old man?" Thalia, jokingly, asked as she walked into camp.

"Shut up," I retorted and she gave me an evil grin.

"So, you're okay?" she inquired.

"Yeah," I replied, "well, at least I think I am."

"Well you can make yourself useful," Thalia began, throwing me two dead rabbits, "and skin these rabbits."

I, happily, sat back down on a log and began to skin the rabbits. My ADHD made me hate sitting around and doing absolutely nothing. When I finished Alex began to cook the rabbits and we got on the subject of how to kill Ouranos.

"Well, I know that my father is working for him," I supplied.

"What?!" Thalia and Alex exclaimed at the same time.

"I got a dream and I'm pretty sure it was from Ouranos and he said that my father was with him," I explained.

"And you withheld this information because?" Thalia asked.

"I didn't think it was that important," I said, trying to defend myself. She gave me and evil look and she began to pace, "Why is this so important, anyway?"

"Don't you understand?" she demanded and I shook my head, "This changes everything."

"Why?" Alex inquired, just as confused as I was.

"Because Ouranos could be possessing your father," she explained, "it may not be a woman's womb, but a figurative one. He could be using your father's body as a stepping stone to get his old body back. And this means that your father isn't mortal because no mortal can handle the immense power that would be required to encase Ouranos in one body."

"Oh."

AN: I don't know what to say anymore since I no longer require five reviews…… so I guess I'll ask how your day was?
