AUTHOR'S NOTE:
(Laughs evil) I am not a Percabeth fan. I truly can't tolerate that daughter of Athena because she bosses Percy around. But Athena is better than her daughter.(winks)
APOLLO:
Hermes took me to Camp Half Blood. On arriving, Will came straight to me and took me to the infirmary. I saw the Prince of my Dreams laying on a bed with his body covered with slashes. From the look itself, it was clear to me that the injury was serious as I could feel his essence slowly fading away. I went near him and suddenly I saw something engraved in his hands. He had cut himself to write the word MURDERER on his sword arm and MONSTER on his other arm. My heart shattered to a million pieces thinking that the boy I love thinks that he is a murderer!!!!
I checked him. The gashes on his torso were wrapped in bandages but I could feel a strong poison in his blood. Suddenly I caught Notice of two marks that looked like fangs on his right bicep. I couldn't judge how he got the wound but it had got infected due to the poison. My patient murmured in his daze. It was too low but enough lol for my godly hearing. He murmured Annabeth. I looked around the infirmary. Nothing potential to stop the deadly poison in his veins. I called Will inside and asked him to get Nico. As soon as the pale boy reached, I ordered, "Shadow travel to Olympus immediately. Go to my infirmary. Kneel before the laurel that stands before the door and say 'Lord Apollo asks for a leaf and a goblet of the enchanted nectar to save a life.' Do it immediately, I am afraid Percy can't hold it longer than an hour." The boy plunged into the shadows. I told Will, "What happened? I need to know the cause of his injuries to heal him. When did he get suicidal? When did he start cutting? --" Will interrupted my rant and said, "Let me answer these questions first. Please dad. Two days ago a horde of 40 dracenae led by Kampé attacked the camp. It was dinner time. Before we knew anything, the conch shell sounded thrice and we were too late to realise anything. The monsters were already in the dining pavilion. Suddenly, Percy stood up and balled his fists and closed his eyes. And to our astonishment, the dracenae stopped moving. It seemed like they were struggling to move but were unable to move. He opened his eyes and his fists and all the dracenae dissolved to golden dust. All the campers including Chiron and Annabeth looked at him in horror. Kampè came and roared, 'You think you can scare me by using blood bending? Better be sorry, I have been blessed to be potent against it by mother Gaea herself. Hahahaha.' She lunged at Percy and they started fighting. Both were too fast for us to understand their moves. All we knew was Kampé dissolved to dust but there were gashes all over Percy's torso. We were still in a daze trying to digest what had happened when Annabeth, I think it's better to call her Annabitch, shouted 'We are over Kelp Head. You broke your promise. You swore that you won't use blood bending ever again. We won't remain friends even. I was looking for a reason to break up with a monster and murderer like you. You were the very reason why Leo died. It was meet that you monster died instead of Leo.' Perce retorted, 'I didn't swear on the river Styx, Wise Girl. And if you think that I am a total fool, I am sorry that you are wrong. You thought I didn't notice you cheating on me with a son of Aphrodite after we returned from Tartarus? I am fine to breakup with you Goddamned fucking bitch.' The whole camp broke into whispers. We could hear many tell each other 'Will Percy kill us too?' Chiron cleared his throat and asked, 'When did you first use blood bending?' 'In Tartarus. I used it again Akhyls when she tried to kill my ex-girlfriend.' Our mentor seemed to be contemplating deeply and continued, 'Blood bending is a very dangerous ability and it is found very rarely in the sons of Poseidon. Even I in my whole life have seen very less people with such abilities. The only people alive who know it was the Poseidon himself and Triton.' That was when hell broke loose. The whole camp turned against Percy and started calling him names. He was too shocked to answer. I and Nico dragged to the infirmary and bandaged his wounds and gave him some nectar and ambrosia. But we didn't notice that Kampé had bit him. He left as soon as we finished and went straight to his cabin. Yesterday when he came out of Cabin 3, even the rest of the seven turned against him. I think Annabeth manipulated them as I saw her addressing all the campers that Percy was a threat to the camp. The whole day everyone accused Percy and when during dinner, Annabeth raised a petition for Percy to be thrown out of the camp everyone except me, Nico, the Stoll brothers and Chiron agreed. As Chiron disagreed, they failed. But that didn't stop them from calling Percy names. He rushed to his cabin and then we don't know what happened. He didn't come for breakfast today, we thought he needed some time alone but when he skipped lunch, Nico got worried. We knocked but got no reply. My little boyfriend Shadow travelled inside the cabin to find Percy in this condition. Then, we brought him here and even seeing him this condition, the campers didn't stop yelling names at him. Nico wanted to kill them but I stopped him. I tried to contact you but failed miserably. Travis and Connor prayed to Hermes for help. And then you were here."
After Will stopped, I felt a pang of guilt that I couldn't support Percy when he needed me the most. We waited there impatiently for Nico as there were only 30 minutes left before it was too late. I sat down in a chair, moved it near to Percy and intertwined my fingers with his. I caressed his hand and made a silent vow that I won't leave him alone ever again. And then the infirmary door creaked open.....
