XVIII- Time

"What is it? Where is he?" I asked jumping out of my bed.

"He's at the big house, its bad Annabeth, something is wrong with him." He answered pleading eyes and all.

I got up and ran towards the big house, my leg now healed, I didn't even bother to change into some normal clothes. I saw the sun starting to climb up the horizon as I reached the door to the big house.

I looked around, opening every door I could find. And I really wished I hadn't opened some doors. I checked every door but the last door down the corridor, I knew that was it. I sighed to myself preparing for what's to come. I walked up to the door and opened it.

The first thing that I noticed is that the room is crammed with people, I recognized from the Apollo cabin. They surround which looked like a bed but I really can't see who since they were blocking the view. Although I had a feeling in my gut who the person is.

The room was white which reminded me of a hospital room. It was small though, which explained the room being cramped. The next thing I know Chiron was in front of me blocking the view of everything.

"Child, let's talk outside first" He said with slight sadness to his voice.

I simply nodded and followed him out the door. We sat on the bench next to the big house. I was the first to break the silence.

"Is that...Percy?" I asked him disbelieving that the fact that he was in the hospital bed.

"I'm afraid so, We found him on the beach this early morning. Hippocampi were making noise which woke up some campers. I guess that's how Percy got here" He answered looking down at the table.

"Is he..going to be alright?" I asked pulling myself together.

"Annabeth, About that. We're doing all we can. His cut on his back-" He looked down disapprovingly.

"Is it that serious?" I asked not believing what I have just heard

"We don't have to worry about the cut, the arrow Kronos used was" He paused "Poisoned"

I felt my eyes widen. "No It can't be! I was with him all that time! If he was poisoned I should have noti-" I suddenly remembered his paleness, the bags underneath his eyes, his rough and weak voice.

"No, no, no, no, no. He can't be poisoned! He can walk yesterday, he even carried me!" I yelled tears welling up in my eyes.

"The poison used was time-delayed. It should appear some minor symptoms the first two days. If it isn't treated by then." He looked down I realized what he meant.

I covered my mouth that was making a giant o, I felt tears dripping down my cheeks but I didn't care

"What's the treatment" I asked trying to find out if i could have done something.

"I didn't know how this even happened since the treatment during those two days should have just been nectar and ambrosia." He answered, I snapped.

"That can't be true!" I yelled sobbing through every word. "We had nectar and ambrosia, he had taken it unless-"

"Unless?" Chiron asked.

I answered barely a whisper, "Unless he gave it all to me." I ran to the big house ignoring Chiron and went into the room. I pushed and shoved and heard a lot of cursing until I found a boy lying on the bed

He had the palest skin I had ever seen, his arms were filled with tubes connected to bags of fluids, he had an oxygen mask covering his mouth, purplish-green bruises everywhere around his body, purple bags surround his closed eyes.

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe that this, is Percy Jackson.
