Percy's POV
I walked into my room.
Will and Nico were in the sitting area, eating ice cream and talking about something.
I didn't acknowledge this though.
I was staring at the piece of paper in my hand. Staring at those two words: Trust yourself.
I sat on my bed. Still staring.
"Percy? You okay?" Nico asked, walking over to the bed.
I didn't answer. I barely heard him. My head felt all fuzzy.
"Percy?" Will waved his hand in front of my face. "Earth to Percy?"
"Hey, what's that in your hand?" Nico said.
That brought me back to reality. I crumbled the paper up and put it behind my back.
"Nothing." I squeaked, shaking slightly.
"That's not nothing." Will noted.
"I-I think you guys should go." I stammered.
"What? Why?" Nico questioned.
"I-I'm tired. And it's late. You have school in the morning, don't you?" I lied.
"Percy. I-it's Friday. It's the weekend. Are you sure you don't want us to stay? You don't look so good." Will asked, concerned.
"I'm sure. Please. I want to be alone. Like I said, I'm tired." I tried again. I couldn't let them know about this. It could put them in danger and more people could die because of me.
"We can stay over. It's no bother." Nico said skeptically.
"I really think you guys should go." I insisted.
"Fine. We'll go. You'll call us soon, right?" Nico accepted.
"Yep! Super soon!" I lied once again, plastering a smile on my face.
"Bye, Perce. Take care of yourself. Don't get more sick." Will said.
"Bye Percy." Nico walked out the door, quickly followed by Will.
"Bye Will! Bye Nico!" I called.
Phew. That was a close one. I sighed.
Sure was. Gods, I love this. Tartarus muttered
Tartarus. Do me a favor, and shut up. I told the primordial.
You don't have to be so rude. It's not my fault you're in constant pain right now and currently have an extreme illness. He responded.
How is this not your fault? I wondered.
Tartarus didn't say anything.
I looked at the paper again.
What does this mean?
Another chapter done. It's a real shorty.
