Will's pov:

After explaining everything to Jason, who seems to be feeling better, we hurry into the forest. We decide to stick together, as the forest is big. After awhile off walking we see a flickering bright light through the tree's and the sound of someone coughing and wheezing. My eyes meet Nico's and we run towards the light, after Jason, who was already running.

When we make it into the clearing we see the faint silhouette that is Leo, encased completely by his flames. It's so hot we can't get closer than a couple of metres. 

"Leo!" Jason yells. "Leo buddy! It's us!" The raring of the flames is so loud, I doubt he can hear us. Nico cups his hands around his mouth, and with the loudest voice I have ever heard him, or anyone else for that matter, use, He yells,

"LeOOOO!" Jason and I jump my the flames quickly recede. Leo takes a deep breath, and it seems like an effort to completely put himself out.

"Ow," He gives us a weak smile, "Do not try this at home, kids!" 

"Are you okay?" I ask quickly, then mentally face palm, obviously not. I'm supposed to be a doctor! I shake my head. "Let me see you properly." 

"I'm fine." He struggles to his feet, and leans on a burnt tree.

"Leo-" I start. Suddenly he bends over in a heavy coughing fit, his right hand dangling uselessly at his side and his left hugging his chest. Jason rushes over as he starts to black out and catches him as he falls. Nico and I quickly join him and when I touch his chest I can feel the broken ribs. As Jason holds him up, I try to grab his other arm, but I feel him flinch hard when I grab his wrist, which quickly makes me realise it's broken, and possibly further up his arm as well. 

I feel Leo attempting to stand on his own and move away from us, but he feels as weak as a puppet and I have no trouble holding onto him. Nico taps on my shoulder.

"I can shadow travel him back to camp. Come as quickly as you can, Will. You will be needed." 

I nod and Jason and I slowly let go of Leo, making sure Nico has a good grip on him.

Leo's pov:

I try to fight them off so I can let them know I'm fine, but my body is not cooperating with me. My chest feels like it's being ripped open, and I struggle not to collapse. I feel Nico take most of my weight, with me attempting to stay on my feet. I shiver as we melt into the shadows and appear back at camp, surprising the campers there. 

"Hey!" I hear Nico yell, but he sound far away. "Little help over here!" The last thing I hear before blacking out is the the surprised yells and the sound of running feet.

Jason's pov:

Will and I run as fast as we can out of the forest. Will immediately heads to the med bay, and I decide to alert my friends of what's happening. I decide the most likely place is the Athena cabin, so I head there quickly. I gently knock on the door and Rachel opens it. She smiles at me, obviously trying to be upbeat.

"Jason." After a second Rachel hugs me. "Are you feeling better now?" I smile and nod at her, but I have more important things to talk about. 

"Can I come in?" She nods and opens the door wider so I can come in. My eyes need to adjust for a second in the dimly lit room, and when they do I see the strangest trio. Annabeth, with her eyes red from crying, Grover, who was chewing on a can miserably, and Clarisse, who was sitting on the bed next to Annabeth with her arm around her. Rachel closes the door behind me.
