This is the Truth (Percy Jackson And Chaos Fanfiction)

Ten: Repercussions

Zoe's POV

3 days later

Percy has been unconscious for three days, and I have been by his side the whole time. Everyone has come to visit at least once, with Chaos and Order coming in regularly. His wounds look better from the outside, I just wish I knew what he was feeling like on the inside. Sometimes I wish my boyfriend would be less heroic. He almost gets himself killed at every single turn! Well, I guess that's Percy for you anyway. 

I hear a portal open and Luke and Thalia step out. They, along with Nico, have visited the most. Everyone else is busy training themselves or the campers. 

"Hey Zoe, how's he doing?" asks Luke. He worries about Percy about as much as me, and that's saying something. 

"He is alright. His pulse is steady and he hasn't really moved in the last few hours. I just wish he would wake up," I confess. Thalia comes and sits opposite of me and Luke stands behind me. We sit there in silence for a while, not caring if the world would end while we watch Percy. I don't know how much longer I can take it with him being out like this. 

I hear the door open to the room and Chaos steps in with Order half a step behind him. I look up to meet Chaos's eyes. They glimmer with an undefined hope. Huh, what's got him so happy? I think. 

"Based on my current scans and Percy's healing rate, he should wake up soon, I think," Chaos states. We all perk up at this, that Percy might wake up soon! I look over and see Thalia's eyes shining. Percy is practically her brother from all the time they spent running together and the fact that she didn't betray him in the first place. 

I feel Percy's body slightly shift on the bed, nightmares were pretty common, but this felt different. His eyelids flutter and I get the slightest hint of hope. Everyones eye's shift to see Percy better as his eyelids open just a crack. I see those sea-green eyes I love so much again. His eyes are barely open, but I practically am jumping with happiness that he is awake. 

"Percy!" I say, careful not to be too loud, I don't want to scare him. Surprisingly, he has enough strength to move over on the bed and make room for me.

"Zoe, I'm so glad to see you again," Percy says, his voice raspy from screaming and it not being used.

"Oh, and thank you for the save, tell Nico too," He shoots at Thalia and Luke. They nod and move closer so he doesn't have to use his voice so much.

I get up onto the bed and snuggle up by Percy, and he holds me with the strength he has close to him like I'm his anchor to the world. I wouldn't leave him anyway. I turn to face him and kiss him. He returns the kiss and we break apart to see that Luke and Thalia have left, giving us some space and to tell the rest of the team the news. Chaos and Order have moved closer to the bed, watching us with curious expressions. 

"Hey mom, hey dad, glad to see you again," Percy says with a chuckle, but I know he means it whole-heartedly. His parents smile and hug him, or as best as they can with both of us on this small infirmary bed. When everyone pulls away, Chaos and Order leave us there for the rest of the night, me happy to have my boyfriend back.

I wake up the next morning to find Percy snuggled up next to me on the bed, his arms protectively wrapped around my waist. I snuggle closer and kiss Percy on the cheek. That wakes him up and I see those beautiful eyes again, boring straight into my volcanic ones. I get up to stretch, and Percy reluctantly lets go. I hit the buzzer on the wall, notifying Percy's parents we are up. 

When Chaos and Order come through the door, they sit next to Percy on chairs. I haven't let him sit up yet, I don't want to hurt himself more.

"How are you feeling Percy?" Order asks. I know she is worried about her son, I would be too.
