Meet the future, Solace-di Angelo

Part 4

After a while, I found myself back at Camp Half-Blood. As I said before I left to see Hades, I can't just walk in there with no back-story. Campers are usually saved by satyrs and brought there for training and to not die. The Camp has a force-shield against mortals and monsters. So in order to create no suspicion I would need to be injured and a satyr. There is no way I'm going to find a satyr AND convince him to help me. I guess being hurt will have to do the job. Remember what I said? Well here comes the bad thing. I took out the dagger.

"Here goes nothing" I took a deep breath and do it. I frickin' stabbed myself in the guts. Tried my best to not scream in pain. My shirt started to fill with blood. Great! To make it look even more realistic I made a few cuts on my arms and legs. You may be wondering 'Why in the world would she do that? Is she THAT stupid?!' To answer that, yes I am. That was the craziest, most idiotic thing I've ever done.

I started walking towards the entrance. My vision already started to blur. In that course I'll be dead in less than 10 minutes. My dad is a doctor so I catch some information now and then. I stopped suddenly. My dad is a doctor. My dad was the head medic in the infirmary at Camp Half-Blood. So probably the first thing I'll see when I'll wake up ('cuz I already started getting dizzy and nauseous) will be my dad's past self face. Even better! I groaned loudly. My wound was affecting me very rapidly . I barely took a few steps before I collapsed. Luckily I could've been spotted. The last thing I remember before passing out were a few campers running towards me, calling for help.

The first thing I heard when I woke up was a constant beeping. I was in the infirmary. Figured it would be the heart rate monitor. So that means I was stable. Good. The door suddenly opened and I heard an indistinctive talking. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes.

"Oh, you're awake. Good. How are you feeling?" a boy asked me. He kinda looked like Michael. "In case you don't remember what happened, we found you in the forest, stabbed. You are in the infirmary now. I'm your doctor, Will Solace." He smiled at me. Well at least now I know why he looked like Michael.

"Wha- Da..aaaas not good" I said. Why do I have to be so clumsy? I almost called him 'dad'. And in case you're confused about that 'das' I tried to recover and say 'that'.

"What happened? How were you so bad injured?" Dad- Will asked.

" Aaaaaa monster. Woods" Really, Bianca? Really?! Yes, indeed that was very credible. You just got here and already make things suspicious. I don't know if I said it before but I'm really, really BAD at acting.

Will chuckled. "How about I'll ask you later? You don't seem to be consciousness enough."

" Ah yeah. Yeah later. Thanks...Will."

"No problem...sorry, what's your name?"

" Uhhh Mary. Mary Darkwood." I put on an awkward smile.

"Nice to meet you, Mary." He smiled at me and shaked my hand. Suddenly aunt Kayla, my dad's half-sister slammed the door open.

"Will, we need you. It's Apollo." She was out of breath. Guess she ran all the way here. I stared at her. She looked so young. He looked so young. Then the thought of him dying came back to me. My eyes started watering.

"Be right there- are you okay?!" Will said as he saw my tears. I freaked out and quickly wiped them off.

"Um yea, yea. I'm fine. Just..I'm okay. You go! Help Apollo." I tried my best to form a small smile. He just nodded. As soon as I was left alone, I turned and banged my head on the wall. Now I have to come up with a story. A good one. See, I'm terrible at lying. I never had to lie, especially to my parents. As long as I'm honest and it wasn't anything dangerous they let me do whatever I want. And I hate secrets. I'm not like that kids with strict parents that can come up with a fake story or a lie that actually adds up, in a second. I decided to tell half of the truth. My mom was single and she told me I was a demigod from the start. She tried to keep me safe as long as she could but eventually her protection wasn't enough. So, she sent me to CHB. In my way I crossed paths with a monster and that's how I got injured. If they ask what kind of monster it was I'll just tell them that it was too dark too see it. Yes, it was still day but the forest could get very dark even if the sun was still out. I say it's a pretty good story. I just need to work on my facial expressions and my tone. I'll try to play it cool. Now that I had everything sorted out, where exactly was my dad. There was no noises or anything that told me what's going on. I assumed that I was there alone. I wonder when exactly I were.

"The book.." I whispered. Oh shoot. Where were all my things. I looked at my left wrist. Good, the bracelet is still there. I looked around. I still couldn't move properly because of my wound.

"Come on, come on. Where did you put it dad?" I asked myself. Then I remembered something. After the war with Gaia, the Earth Mother, my dad forced my pap' to stay in the infirmary three days. He shadow-travelled a 40 feet tall statue, the Athena Parthenon, half-way across the world. From Greece to Long Island. That almost killed him. He was fading into the darkness. Luckily Reyna and coach Hedge (satyr) were there to save him. After he arrived to CHB and after the war finished he confessed to Percy Jackson. Said that he liked him but he just wasn't his type. Percy got obsessed with that and constantly annoying my pap' with thing. It went from "What do you MEAN I'm not your type?" to "Oh so HE'S your type" when he found out that my parents were dating. Anyway while he was in the infirmary my pap' was always trying to escape. Especially go and train. With his sword. Soon my dad figured out and hid his sword. The only place where Nico would NEVER look is under the bed. You see, when my dad was around ten, Zeus send some monsters to go and kill him, his sister and mother. His mother told him to hide under the bed and to stay put. While he was under that bed the door collapsed and his mother was pushed in the room by an empusa. She managed to fight it and slow it down just long enough for my dad and his sister, Bianca, to escape the house. When they got out, Hades just arrived there. He tried to run into the house and save her too but Zeus threw a lighting straight to the house. They never found her body. Of course my dad didn't knew that when he hid his sword. When Will finally told Nico where the sword was they had a bad fight. My pap' was very insecure back then. After Bianca died he isolated himself and went to the Underworld. He hated himself and he hated Percy Jackson. He blamed the boy for a long time for Bianca's death. I'm sorry I drifted off the action. Just thought you should know a little about my parents' past.

Anyway, I looked under the bed. And...there it was! I grabbed the bag and looked into it. Nothing was missing. I took the book and opened it. Then I realized that I had no idea at what page I should search. Maybe if I look at the chapter title? Yeah, no. That was unhelpful. I aggressively flipped the pages. And..aha! I got it. Oh so Apollo just arrived at CHB after a mission with his 'master' Meg. I never understood that thing. Basically Apollo chose Meg to be his master. She could tell him to do whatever she wants to. For example if she tells him to shut up, his vocal cords will feel petrified. Cool, right? Right now my dad and pap' were in the Apollo cabin waiting for Apollo to wake up. I am 97% sure. I sighed and close the book. I already missed home. Suddenly something caught my eyes. I turned my head towards the window. It was a Hyacinth. I managed a sad laugh. Gods, what I would give to see Hyacinthus. Apollo might be a narcissistic git but I gotta admit. Apollo and Hyacinthus was a great ship. I leaned my head on the wall. I was surprised when I felt an uncomfortable itch in my stomach and realized that I was hungry. I totally forgot that I didn't ate anything that morning. Guess I had to wait 'till lunch.
