Authors Note: I hope i made this one a little bit longer. In all honesty I've dived pretty hard into this story and have a lot of ideas in my head for it, but I'm willing to accept any suggestion y'all may have so we can really make this story one to remember and much more entertaining for everyone to read. Hope y'all enjoy chapter 3!
I woke up with a start, I looked around to notice I was in a rather large room with about 6 beds along both sides of the wall; I was in the last bed on the right side. As my vision got clearer I looked down at my body and seen my entire midsection bandaged up along with parts of my arms. I tried sitting up, but even with the slightest movement all I could was a tremendous amount of pain.
"I strongly advise you not to move to much until we get an Apollo camper in here to give your final healing treatment," Startled I turned to my right to see a beautiful girl with wavy golden blonde hair, mesmerizing green eyes that I could have stared at all day, she had on a tight-fitting pink breast cancer awareness t-shirt that accented her perfect "California girl" tan quite nicely, dark blue pre-ripped blue jeans that hung to her hips so well I thought my eyes were about to bug out when she started walking towards me; I was knocked outta my paralysis as she spoke again, "You know we were close to feeding you some ambrosia and nectar, but we were unsure whether or not you were a demigod or not. Chiron advised us to just give you more time to rest. You know you're incredibly lucky to still be ali-" I cut her off midway through.
"Where's Jenna? Is she okay? What happened? How am I still alive?" My voice trembling and my eyes begin to water as the last images of that nigh course through my mind.
"Jenna's fine. She didn't suffer any damage besides the memory of that nasty incident." She said. I started to mentally and physically relax as I listened to her words. "As for what happened," she continued, "I'm not sure exactly, you'll have to ask Percy or Annabeth; they are the ones who saved y'all from the manticore." Percy...could it really be him? All I could hope for is that maybe now we would be able to work out or differences like men instead of how we left things as kids.
"So may I ask where I'm at and more importantly who are you and how long have you been sitting here staring at me?" Confidence radiating in my words, her eyebrows raised, and even I had to admit I didn't know where it was coming from. She smirked as her eyes met mine, wow she is just so gorgeous…why am I saying this? I don't even know who the hell she is!
"Well if you must know, my name is Katelynn, daughter of Aphrodite and this is the Camp Half-blood infirmary. As for your other question; only about an hour or so, I took over for Annabeth after she was informed Kelp Head and Clarisse were getting into again." As she finished I couldn't help but stare at her, she was just as near perfection as you can get and with obvious reasoning, she definitely took after her mother. She waved her hand in front of my face and I quickly shot my gaze to the floor very aware of the heat now coming off of my face…now I couldn't blame it on the ambrosia. She smiled knowing she had already caught my attention, "If you're done asking questions now," she said as she stood, "I'm going to go get that Apollo camper."
"Wait what about Jenna? Where is my sister?" I said reaching out and grabbing her hand fighting through the pain that accompanied, my face soon turn a bright shade of crimson as I let her hand go and I could of swore I seen a light tinge of red on her checks.
"She's actually right outside the door. She hasn't wanted to be too far away from you the whole 2 weeks you've been in here." Katelynn said before continuing out the door not giving me a chance to ask any more questions.
I've been in here for two weeks? That can't be right….I have to get out of here and find out what exactly happened. I shifted my legs around to the side of the bed and let my feet touch floor, it was warm giving me a sense of warmth and protection. I grabbed on to the head board and tried to stand, my legs seemed to not want to work with the rest of my body and I just shuffled in the bed. After the third try with no progress I decide it was time to change my approach. Concentration always helped me solve a lot of the problems I encountered growing up…though it left me with a brain scrambling headache afterwards...so on the next try I concentrated as hard as I could on making my damn legs work again, after about 30 seconds I felt the strength finally return to my legs and I stood…a little too fast now that I think about it; because as soon as I went up I felt my knees buckle and I hit the ground with a heavy and solid thump. I rolled over in time to see a guy with shaggy sun-kissed hair and blue eyes, and athletic build looking down on at me with an amused smirk on his face.
"You just couldn't wait could ya?" He said as I looked away in embarrassment. He helped me back up into the bed and began my final healing treatment...hopefully.
