Chapter 15

"Where is he?" Annabeth demanded as she walked over to the two cousins.

"Thanks for the nice greeting Annie," Thalia replied sarcastically.

Annabeth ignored her best friend. "Where is he?"

"In one of those hospital rooms." Nico answered her.

"Room number?"

"246."

Annabeth began running towards the room, while Thalia faced Nico angrily.

"Why did you tell her?" Thalia yelled at him while running towards Annabeth to stop her.

"She asked-"

"That doesn't mean you have to answer!"

Annabeth's speed was legendary. The cousins couldn't catch up. Until Nico saw a trolley. He got one of his most brilliant ideas ever. He had to catch his breath first though. He huffed for a few seconds and then ran towards the trolley. The trolley could fit 2 people which were great for his plan. He grabbed Thalia and placed her on the trolley and gave it a starting push before going in himself. He had no idea where he found the strength from. The sight looked really awkward. A teenage punk girl looking furious at a boy next to her. The trolley whizzed through people who stared at them in shock.

"What the hell Nico!" Thalia screamed at him.

They were catching up to Annabeth quickly, but Thalia didn't know that that was the plan. She kicked Nico out and he landed on the floor. She jumped out and grabbed her best friend in the process. That didn't even slow her down one bit. She kept on running until she saw the room number, and went inside. Apollo looked up in shock and tried to block her view of Percy.

"Apollo get out the way."

Annabeth's glare was enough to scare anyone. And that included Apollo.

"I'm uh... Working on him. See," Apollo said hastily, and put on his gloves and bending down over Percy, pretending as if he were a scientist.

Annabeth pushed him aside and saw Percy. She sat down on the very edge of the bed and kept quiet. And that was when the two cousins came marching in. Apollo looked up and thought it was a brilliant idea to sprout a haiku.

"Oh when the cousins

Come marching in the ro-om

They argue and fight."

Thalia looked ready to kill. Nico just rolled his eyes and kneeled beside Annabeth.

"What the hell was that Apollo!" Thalia shouted angrily.

"A haiku worthy of me

Is what you see

In your beautiful eyes."

"That wasn't even a haiku!"

"Guys!" Nico yelled angrily, all previous humorous mood gone.

Thalia and Apollo looked at him, at Percy, and then at Annabeth, who had her hands in his hands, silently begging for him to wake up. They looked down on the ground and saw that it was dusty and dirty.

"Why don't you ask someone to clean the floor? Percy could suffocate because of the dust!" Thalia once again yelled at Apollo.

"Will you shut up!" Nico shouted in frustration as he walked out of the room.

A few minutes of silence later, Nico had a mop in his hands and he threw it at Apollo, who caught it in surprise.

"What's this for?" Apollo asked.

"Thalia said the floor was dusty, so I thought you could clean it up," Nico explained.

Annabeth turned her gaze to the noise, which was actually Apollo, and he gulped and began cleaning up the floor. Thalia turned to smile at her friend but her gaze was already backing to Percy. The next few minutes were quiet, and Annabeth enjoyed the peace. She looked back at Percy, who was lying there, almost lifeless, and she had to bite her lip to stop a few tears from welling up. She couldn't help it, one tear dribbled down her cheek, and her brain froze for a second. It had been such a long time since she cried. And she certainly wouldn't cry a fountain in the hospital. She wiped the tear away, and continued clasping his hand in hers, pleading with whoever answers her prayers that he would wake up and be alright.

While Apollo was cleaning up, Thalia actually had time to think. But nothing focused more in her mind than one topic: Percy. She stared down helplessly at him. For once, she didn't know what to do. He was like a brother to her. Siblings helped each other, but in this case, he could only wait for himself to heal, not her. And she didn't want to lose any other family. Not after Jason, she thought sadly.

Nico was feeling tired for 3 reasons. One was Percy, obviously. And the second and third reason was mainly because his knees were felling tired and he didn't exactly have his morning coffee. Ah, coffee... He thought, but then felt guilty. Why the hell was he thinking about coffee when his cousin was... Dying? He looked over at his cousin and was going to puke. No, he decided in his mind. I won't let you die. Not today Perce.

Apollo hated cleaning up the floor, but he couldn't work on Percy 24/7. The only thing he could do was wait. And he hated waiting. Especially when one of his friends was in a life or death situation. He couldn't stand looking at him so helplessly. He was a doctor; he was supposed to help patients. Not be cowardly and face the other way, ignoring their mental screams of help. But this wasn't just a patient. This was Percy. His friend, an abused child, and while rebellious, the most loyal person he had ever met.

Annabeth's phone rang nosily. The ringtone was basically an owl hooting. Almost everyone jumped in shock, but the owner of the phone was used to it.

"Annabeth!" The voice of Frederic Chase came yelling over the phone.

Immediately, Annabeth stiffened up, and hung up the phone with a loud bang. Nico wondered what phone she had. It would be fun to close a phone with a bang.

"I either need to go, or I need to hide," Annabeth said quickly.

"Hide," Thalia and Nico advised.

Apollo agreed with the cousins. "We'll hide you, don't worry."

"Where?" Annabeth asked.

"Right here," Nico said, and went out for a minute before coming back in.

In his hands was that trolley that the two cousins had used more than a few minutes ago, and Thalia seemed to recognize it.

"Isn't that the thing you used to try and catch me?" Annabeth asked, and marveled at her speed.

"Yeah," Nico replied as if it was obvious.

"What?" Thalia asked a different question.

"Nico used the trolley to try and catch me."

"Annabeth!"

The words 'oh shit,' came out of Thalia's mouth. Annabeth's dad came storming in the halls.

"Annabeth hide!" Thalia hissed.

Annabeth went inside the trolley quickly. Thalia, Nico, and Apollo crowded around Percy as if he was dead. It wasn't hard to look sad, they already were. And that was when Mr. Chase came storming in the room. And he looked mad.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait, my writing device crashed, and I couldn't get my notes transferred. So I had to write a new chapter. So if anyone's reading Don't Mess with the Cabins, then you have to wait, I have to start again, a new chapter. Thanks for all the support!

Everyone's asking if there are demigods in this, and the answer is no, and for the gods thing, they have these domains. Like Poseidon is this really rich businessman who basically owns all the fishing industries. Does that answer people's questions?
