I have the first couple chapters of the story typed out so there will fast updates for a while. I'm sorry if this feels rushed, I have a really busy schedule so I write a lot of it in my spare time at school. :)

Percy arrived at the Big House extremely lightheaded and nauseous but he pushed through because he knows the ambrosia will help.
"Ok, you go check the infirmary and I'll check one of Chiron's spare cabinets." Annabeth says, then runs into the Big House and Percy jogs to the infirmary. Will just left so he only has a few minutes before he comes back to shuffle through all the drawers.
He walks in and makes it to the nearest table to look through them. Percy has to brace himself against it to regain his vision. He rummages through about four drawers before he can feel his vision cloud and his body go limp as he falls to the ground next to the cabinet.
His shoulder and slide split open further from the impact and he started bleeding through his bandages once again.
Will walks in just as he collapses so he saw Percy hit his head on the nearest exam table.
"PERCY! Crap! Crap! Crap!" Will shouts. He checks Percy's head and it's bleeding thoroughly and when he tries to shake him awake, he attempts to shake him awake, his hand comes away masked in blood.
"What the Hades?" His jacket is taken off and underneath, his Camp Half-Blood shirt was drenched in his blood. "Shoot! Percy, what the hell!"
Will runs to the Big House and grabs Chiron, along with, surprisingly, Annabeth. "Chiron! Chiron, I need help, Percy fell and he's bleeding like a lot! He hit his head and his shirt is soaked in blood!" He doesn't wait for them to know that they're following him in a hurry.
The second they enter the infirmary, they see Percy stirring awake, groaning in pain. Chiron knows Will needs help getting Percy into one of the beds so he hoists Percy up and over to the first bed.
"Ok, ok, ok. Chiron, hand me those scissors." Will commands.
"What are you gonna do?" Annabeth asks.
"I need to cut his shirt off to see where all this blood is coming from." Will explains. "Do you know where it's coming from?"
"He,um, he was stabbed." Annabeth whispers. They both freeze at her statement.
"He was what?!" Chiron exclaims.
"Someone stabbed him. He wouldn't tell me who or how it happened or when exactly it happened! He said they would get in trouble and being Percy Jackson, he stayed loyal to not letting them get in trouble! That idiot!"
Will had cut Percy's shirt and jacket off and he'd just got through the bloody bandages.
"Wait, so you knew about this and you didn't tell anyone?" Chiron exclaims. "Yeah, kinda. He was only in here to get some ambrosia. After that he was going to be fine."
Will examines the wounds and decides that Percy needs severe help. "This is not fine! These wounds are days old and severely infected!" He puts on gloves and takes a closer look.
"Aagh!" Percy writhes.
"Annabeth, run and get Austin, I need help! This is bad and I don't think ambrosia alone will really help this. I don't even know what our healing can do at this point without killing him." Will douses the gash in saline and then packs it with gauze. Percy shifts in pain and tries to jump off the bed in his dazed state.
"Ow! Ow!"
"Percy, no!" Will exclaims as he grabs him and attempts to bring him back down to the bed. Chiron pushes Percy back into bed and holds him there.
"Percy, stay still! You're severely injured!"
"Chiron, we need to restrain him or put him under and we need to do it now!" Will says, trying to stem the new flow of blood.
Chiron thinks for a few seconds before deciding, "Restrain him. I need him to tell us what happened." So Will grabs the restraints from the side of the bed and hooks them onto his ankles and wrists.
"No! No," Percy looks up at them, "Will! No! Chiron, tell him to stop! I'll stop, just please!" Chiron had seen a lot of things in his immortal life, but this look and sound of desperation painted all over Percy broke his heart.
"I can't Percy, I'm sorry." Chiron apologizes. Just then, Annabeth runs in with Austin.
"Woah, woah, Will what's going on?!" Austin shouts.
"He passed out, stab wounds to his right shoulder and right side, and when he fell he hit his head on the table." Will pauses, "You stitch up his head and I'll start cleaning out wounds."
Austin takes his place by Percy's head and moves his hair out of the way to sterilize his head lac.
Meanwhile Will starts cleaning his shoulder gash out with more saline and Percy fights against both of them.
"Percy, stay still."
"I can't. It's not that bad, I'll be fine if you just give me some ambrosia." Percy protests.
"Yeah, cuz getting stabbed and passing out while breaking into the infirmary is fine." Austin says.
"I am! Now let me go! You're hurting me!"
"You're hurting yourself." Will affirms.
"Shut up and let them help you." Annabeth chastises.
"Well since you're awake and mostly yourself, why don't you tell us how you got stabbed in the first place." Chiron says.
"I can't, they'll get in troubleā¦" Percy starts thinking it over, "Um, if I tell you who did it," He says, breathing chopped and erratic, "I don't want them to get in too much trouble, I just want to make sure the little girl is okay. And make sure Xavier doesn't try that again."
"What little girl?! What did Xavier try?!" Annabeth questions.
"Percy, Xavier stabbed you, he must be punished for his actions, whether it was in camp or not." Chiron announces. Percy is quickly losing his hold on reality and is diving deeper into his own confusion. He soon falls back into unconsciousness.
"Guys, how much damage did Xavier do?" Chiron asks.
"His side cut is deep but it somehow missed all major organs. Two of his ribs are broken from the sword and he's lost a lot of blood." Will says.
"His head has a long deep cut, around three and a half inches long and half an inch deep. My healing isn't working very well so I'll just have to stitch this up." Austin says as he starts.
"I think he has a concussion from how hard he hit his head but I don't know for sure." It doesn't take Austin long before Percy's head is fully stitched and bandaged.
"Hey Austin, come here a second." Will summons him. He walks to the other side of the table and Will whispers into his ear. "Percy was stabbed about 2 days ago, can you go into his cabin and see if you can find any other bandages he used and bring them back here. I think with this amount of blood, he's been bleeding out for days."
Austin nods and runs out of the infirmary and down to the cabins.
"Where's he going? Why did you stop?" Annabeth asks, concerned about Percy.
"I just need him to run down to the cabins to get something." Will explains. "We're just gonna wait for him to get back."
"Yeah, Annabeth, why don't you run down and get Xavier, bring him to the Big House and have Mr.D watch him." Chiron says.
"But," She tries to protest.
"Annabeth." She exits the building and runs down to the cabins to get Xavier and get him to Mr.D.
Austin searches Percy's cabin and finds a bunch of bloodied bandages and towels shoved into an extra chest in the corner of the room.
"Holy Hephaestus! That's a lot of dried blood." Austin exclaims. He grabs the bag that he snagged from the table before he left and puts all the bandages, gauze, and towels into it. The bag turns out to be extremely full and quite heavy so he can't really run back to the infirmary with it.
What he is glad for though, is that he got back into the infirmary before Annabeth and Xavier could see what he was carrying.
"Ok, I'm back. There's a lot." Austin states as he sets the bag on the table.
"Holy Hades, yeah-yeah, he's been bleeding out." Will says.
"Bleeding out?!" Chiron exclaims.
"Yeah, estimating on all this lost blood, I think he's lost about 25 to 30 percent of his blood. He needs a transfusion and he needs it now." Will declares.
"The only problem is, we can't do that here." Austin states. "We don't have the blood or really the equipment to do it."
"So he needs to go to the hospital." Chiron declares. "Go get Argus, pack the wounds and have him take you to the nearest hospital. Percy needs help. Call his mom and summon Apollo, I'll keep Annabeth here. Mr.D and I will interrogate Xavier." Chiron sighs. "The whole camp is probably awake at this point. Austin go. I trust you guys." Chiron then exits the room after Austin runs out of it.
Will packs Percy's wounds and Austin runs in later with the sound of the car rumbling behind him. The children of Apollo quickly situate Percy on a stretcher and haul him out to the camp van.
"On my count, one, two, three." After setting them in the back seat, Argon drives them all to a hospital about 10 minutes away.
