XV- Consciousness

Annabeth's POV

Everything seemed dazed, I was slipping in and out of consciousness, I didn't know why but I'm thinking that the last battle really took a toll on me. I woke up, I was in a cave. A bonfire in front of me, I guess I was still dazed because I can't seem to see anything else.

"You're awake" Said a boy entering the cave. He had messy black hair, tattered clothes and luxurious sea-green eyes that pierced through mine but he had some purple circles around those eyes, like he hadn't had slept for days. I know him far too well, he was Percy.

"Uhh, yeah" I answered trying to get up but a sudden jolt of pain coming from my left leg made me sit back down.

"Argh!" I shouted annoyed by the fact that I can't stand and the pain is almost unbearable.

"Relax wise-girl, your leg is in bad shape, nothing's broken though so that's good" He said handing me a canteen of nectar and some ambrosia.

"It'll make you feel better" He said forcing a smile.

"Thanks." I replied examining him closely. He was in bad shape I could tell you that.

"Are you alright? You look horrible" I asked drinking up some ambrosia.

"Yeah, of course, I'm as fine as ever" He answered with a smile. But I knew him too well. He was lying.

"Well, okay then" I answered back

"Here, eat this" He said getting a handful of wild berries handing it to me.

"Where did you get these?" I asked getting the berries from his hand.

"I found them of course" He answered back.

"How do I know this isn't poisoned?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

He chuckled a bit but stopped mid-way and coughed. "I'm not gonna let anything poisoned get into your mouth wise girl."

"Okay." I answered munching on those berries that surprisingly tasted real good. Percy was watching me eat. I noticed a grumble from his stomach.

"Percy, have you eaten anything yet?" I asked sounding concerned.

"Of course I have! I ate some err- camels while you were gone, sorry I didn't save you some" He answered back. He was lying yet again.

"Okay, if you say so" I answered trying to sound inconspicuous.

He turned around and walked towards our bags placed near the entrance of the cave and I instantaneously saw a cut near his Achilles Heel.

"Percy, come here" I gestured him to sit beside me.

"What is it?" He asked shuffling the ashes in the firewood.

"What happened to your back?" I asked putting my hand on his back.

"Oh that, Jak- I mean Kronos's arrow just grazed it, It's nothing, I don't even fee-" He let out an hiss I saw that my hand was almost touching the cut, I pulled my hand back.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I said urgently.

"No worries, I'm a big boy now." He said still in a smile.

"You should get that checked Percy." I said sounding like a mother.

"I promise I'll get that checked. But now, you will rest." He answered

I didn't realize it but my eyes were already closing I was more exhausted than I thought I was. I put my head back on a somewhat comfortable rock. I hadn't realized that I was out yet again.

But I knew someone was watching me, protecting me.
