Chapter 11 He has magic hands that glow when he sings.

Sarah's POV

After supper instead of going to the campfire, I found myself in the infirmary. As Will treated my various cuts and scratches, two people staged in. Will looked up and promptly abandoned me. I didn't mind though, because the newcomers were in pretty bad shape. Again I couldn't stop staring, the teens clothes were ripped and covered in blood. The boy had an ugly gash on his arm, the girl leaned on him heavily with one hand clapped to her side. I was beginning to realize how brutal the world I had just stepped into was. As the boy hobbled in, he urgently said.

"Will, thank the gods it's you. Annabeth needs help, she's been stabbed."

I was startled to realize this weak blood soaked girl was the same one who jumped off the exploding bus earlier. Will replied cool as cucumber,

"I see that Percy, put her over there."

Percy did Will's bidding as I asked,

"Is she going to be ok?"

Percy's eyes were full of concern as he looked from me to Will, who was examining the wound. Without looking up he said.

"Annabeth is going to be fine. No serious damage has been done, and I can't see any indication of poison. But just to be safe I'll close the wound fully, though Percy that does mean if you don't want stitches you'll have to use the sink."

"No problem Will, as long as Annabeth gets your help."

I saw Annabeth give Percy's hand a squeeze, it surprised me because I thought she was unconscious. The room was quiet enough I could hear their conversation, I tried not to eavesdrop and failed.

"Percy, go clean yourself up."

"I'm not leaving."

"I'll be fine, Will's going to take care of me."

"I know."

"Then go take care of yourself."

He shook his head, glancing up as Will bent over her.

"I'm staying right here until Will finishes cleaning that wound."

"You're sure?"

"You bet, Wise girl."

I couldn't help but smile at the two, it was obvious they were a couple and cared a lot about each other. Which also made that jealous part of me happy. Just as obvious was the faith and trust they had in Will's abilities, and that was really cool to see. I watched the young healer carefully cleaning the injury, the teenager taking it like a champ and the wounded boyfriend setting aside his own needs. There was a lesson to be learned here, I just wasn't sure what it was. After some time Will began singing softly in a foreign language, which I thought was super random. That is till I noticed his hands were glowing with golden light. I started in confused amazement while he sang and glowed. The pained expression on Annabeth's face relaxed, Percy released her hand. He walked to the sink to wash his various injuries. I joined him to offer help, but mostly I wanted to ask questions.

"Hi, can I help in any way?"

"What? Oh, no I got it, but thanks." As he turned on the water and began washing his cutts, I blurted out.

"Can I ask something?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

Jabbing a thumb over my shoulder I said,

"Why did Will start singing and what did he mean about you having to use the sink?"

"I can see how that would be confusing, see demigods can inherit powers from their parent. Will and I are some that did."

He gestured at his arms which were healing as he washed them. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped at the site.

"Will is a powerful person in his own right. He can heal people by putting his hands on the wound and offering a prayer of some kind to his dad. It just takes a lot out of him, so he really only does it in emergencies."

"Which is why he told you to help yourself."

"Rite."

"So what happened?"

Percy frowned as he answered,

"Annabeth and I have a lot of enemies."

Will huffed, "you can say that again."

We looked over to where Will sat slumped in a chair. He looked pale and sweat had collected on his forehead. But he had done his job well, because Annabeth was sitting up in bed.

"I want to hear the story too," Will said, "so Percy, finish cleaning up. And Sarah let me finish with you. Then will hear the story while we all regain some strength, before going back to the cabins."

( Others note
