Artemis's pov
When I arrived at camp half-blood with Wyatt Knight's body, Chiron had a sad look on his face, I guess he knew someone had to die. But Wyatt Knight won't die, not for a long time. A lot of Chiron's campers surrounded me, there was one on crutches, and he had a look of disbelief, disappointment, sadness, and fear.
"My hunters? Are they okay?" I asked Chiron, some of campers looked mad, I guess I look pretty cold to them right now, seeing as they don't know about Wyatt not being dead. Chiron's expression was grim, "Yes. They're in cabin eight if you want to see them."
I smiled, "First I'd like to put Wyatt in a bed, he may wake up soon or maybe in a few weeks…Or months…But he'll wake up. He is not dead." The boy on crutches fell, shock was all over his face, no one helped him up, because I guess the news stunned everyone. Even Chiron was speechless.
They stared at Wyatt Knight, "He is really?" The one who fell said. "He is really…Alive?" His voice broke, he had trouble getting up, and his arms were shaking. Tears slowly trickled down his checks. I gave Wyatt over to Chiron who was still staring at Wyatt.
I was getting ready to leave, but they expect an answer. "Yes. He is alive, the god of mortals will live on for much longer than you think." I told them reassuringly. I started walking over to cabin eight, after two minutes of walking, I found it. When I walked in, my hunters burst in to tears and welcomed me with a big hug, I guess they were really worried, "I'm sorry my daughters, but I'm okay…" I trailed off, now how am I going to explain to them about Zoe…Just thinking about it breaks my heart. But I have to do this.
3rd pov
~ Back in Olympus, Percy and the others were having fun. But their minds kept going back to Wyatt. Percy danced with Annabeth for a couple of songs. But after they were done, they left Olympus, before Percy left, he found a quiet fountain in a corner garden, and told his brother, Tyson, about all his adventures.
He started with the cow serpent, Tyson wanted to know every detail about the cute baby cow serpent. And soon he assured Tyson Annabeth was alright. And he explained how the shield he'd made Percy last summer had been damaged in the manticore attack.
"Yay!" Tyson said. "That means it was good! It saved your life!"
"It sure did, big guy," Percy said. "But now it's ruined."
"Not ruined!" Tyson promised. "I will visit and fix it next summer."
"Seriously?" He asked. "They'll let you take time off?"
"Yes! I have made two thousand seven hundred and forty-one magic swords," Tyson said proudly, showing Percy the newest blade. "The boss says 'good work'! He will let me take the whole summer off. I will visit camp!"
After that, Percy talked a little bit more with Tyson, and then he talked to his mom, he told her he'll see her on Christmas. Annabeth was waiting in the lobby in the empire state building with Grover. It was the Friday before Christmas, but it was early in the morning, and hardly anyone was on Fifth Avenue.
Argus, the many-eyed security chief, picked up Annabeth, Grover, and Percy at the Empire State Building and ferried them back to camp through a light snowstorm. The Long Island Expressway was almost deserted.
As they trudged back up Half-Blood Hill to the pine tree where the Golden Fleece glittered, Percy half expected to see Thalia there, waiting for them. But she wasn't. She was long gone with Artemis and the rest of the Hunters, off on their next adventure.
They made their way into camp and found Chiron waiting for them, his expression told them to be prepared, "Is Wyatt really…?" Percy asked as they headed to the big house.
Chiron looked troubled, "His pulse is there, and it's normal, everything is normal, but he won't wake up. Simply put, Wyatt is in a coma."
"Does anyone know when he'll wake up?" Annabeth asked worriedly. Chiron sighed, he looked older, "No. Only the fates can determine that."
Chiron led us in the big house up the stairs and into a bedroom. In the middle of the room was a single bed, Wyatt Knight occupied the bed, he had pale skin, but he still seemed to have that silver glow around me as he slept. Percy hates himself, if only he could do more for Wyatt, he thought.
Annabeth watched over Wyatt with a sad look. She thought, none of this is your fault. Grover was the only one who saw the bright side, "He's still with us…He's just sleeping, he's not dead." But Grover just couldn't sound happy about it. So it came out half-heartedly.
Percy put on a forced smile, "Yeah, he is. Let's do our best…Until he wakes up."
Annabeth sighed, "I guess you guys are right, no use in worry about him right now…"
Everyone had the same thought in mind, he did what he could and we have to do the same while he sleeps.
~ Four months later
~Artemis's pov
Wyatt has been in a coma for four months now, I would visit him twice a week. To check up on him. This has happened to me once before, where a man has caught my interests, but this will end differently.
Every time I come by to see Wyatt. Athena's child is always there, Annabeth Chase. From time to time another friend would be with her, but she was the only one who took care of him. Anyway, I was visiting Wyatt, and Chiron walked in. "So you're the one taking care of him when Annabeth is not here, Lady Artemis." Chiron said kindly, but there was a little surprise in his voice, "Yes, you could save I owe him, but I just want to make sure he's still with us. It's been four months after all." I told Chiron.
Chiron nodded and smiled, "Well, I think he'll be okay. He's the god of mortals after all…And…" He trailed off, "And?" I asked. He raised his brow, "Oh nothing, just feeling lonely without him, Mr. D can be uh…A bit cranky at times."
I smiled, "That's Dionysus for you…But I have to go, my hunters are probably wondering where I wondered off too." I said and got ready to leave.
I stared down at Wyatt one last time.
"I'll be waiting." I whispered and left.
Well that's the end of this one, it went by pretty fast...Don't you think? The next one will take a while to start, because I didn't think that far ahead, but it will eventually be up!
Thanks for staying with Wyatt on this one! I hope you all have an awesome day! Please let me know what you think about this story :)
