Part One: Chapter Thirteen: Awakened

=Percy=

Waking up was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. My entire body was numb with pain and I had a hard time just opening my eyes. A woman was hovering over me, taking a cloth off of my forehead and replacing it with a cold, and damp one. The water felt nice. "Don't get up, alright?" She told me. "You have a few broken bones, maybe worse." I didn't know if I was able to respond, my throat felt as if it were on fire.

"O-Okay..." was the coarse response I could muster. She gave me a soft smile and this time I paid attention to what she looked like. Her eyes were dark brown, and her hair was long and black. She has light peach skin and a simple white dress on. She turned and looked away from me.

"Will, he's awake!" She called. I could hear frantic crashing and then my door opened, the girl moved out of the way. Will reminded me of Apollo, he has sun-kissed blond hair and blue eyes, and his light tan skin was covered in a long white unbuttoned jacket. His shirt was white as well.

"Get him some water to drink." He said to the girl, I could hear her quick footsteps retreating from the room. "This might hurt," he told me. I felt a stinging pain in my arm and resisted the urge to curse at him. I knew doctor's don't mean to give you more pain but it wasn't always avoidable. He stopped after a moment, for what I don't know. The girl returned with a glass of water, she helped me to drink it and immediately the pain started to recede. I sighed in relief and pushed myself up with my good arm. "Don't-" Will started to say but his eyes fixed on my skin, they were wide and filled with shock.

"I'm... a son of Poseidon." I informed him.

"That explains a lot." The girl said under her breath. "But even with that little amount of water, it's not going to fix your bones." I nodded, of course a little amount of water wouldn't do that. A large amount, yes, maybe some nector or ambrosia could be used as a replacement. Will mumbled something before leaving the room. "What's your name?" She asked, taking the chair back.

"Percy Jackson, and you are?" I responded.

"I'm Katie Gardner, and the boy's Will Solace. He's the town doctor." She explained, I nodded.

"How did I get here?" I asked her.

"Will found you down in the water, we live on top of a cliff so we thought maybe you had fallen." I shook my head. "I thought so, you don't look like you're from around here. Then again, you are a Demigod so..." She paused. "Do you remember what happened?" I took a moment to think.

"I was... in the Sea of Monsters," I recalled. "Looking for something and I remember finding it." I explained. "Then there's a lot of panic," I paused. "Something was coming after us." I pressed my hand to my temple, think stupid, what happened. "The Kraken was after us, we managed to get it away from the ship long enough for me to launch it away. I... stayed behind to distract it." She was watching me.

"You faced off with the Kraken?" She asked in slight horror. "No wonder you're so beat up. How did you get away?" I looked at her.

"I don't know." I said honestly. "I didn't think I would." She perched her lips as Will returned, holding a bag of sorts. He opened it and took out two small cubes.

"This should fix you right up." He said to me, handing them over. I looked at them, before putting one in my mouth. The warm fresh taste of my mom's cookies entered my mouth. I sighed, I miss her cooking. I could feel the pain leaving my body, I stretched out my injured arm then my legs.

"Thanks." I said to him.

"It's my job." He shrugged. I popped the second one into my mouth, to get rid of the remaining pain as Katie filled him in on my story.

"You have some good luck." He told me as I turned to sit with my legs hanging off the bed. I shrugged.

"Not as much as it seems. I'm away from my ship and friends." The two shared a look.

"Where do they make port?" Katie asked, I debated on how to answer.

"The Hydra." I told her. I can't lie to the people that helped me.

"You're... a Pirate?"Will commented, I nodded. There was a long silence. "We... could help you get back if you'd like."

"That'd put a mark on your record." I told him.

"Well, I just revived you. So it's not like it matters much." He shrugged. I thought about it.

"Well, even if I head there now, it's likely they wont be there. Knowing my crew, they'll be out looking for me. If they still thought I was alive." I said. "It'll be a while before they head back to The Hydra. We'll just have to listen for the rumors. Then we head out. I can help out, if you need it. Anything you can think of for me to do,"

"Are you sure?" Will asked me. I could tell that he was nervous, he kept glancing at Katie who was studying me.

"I'll keep you quite busy." She told me, "if you can handle it." I smiled.

"I was the Captain of the Huntress, Prince of the Sea. I can handle a few chores." I told her.
