After the war, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Leo, and I decided to return to Camp Half-Blood and Hazel and Frank decided to return to Camp Jupiter. Things have somewhat returned back to normal. After all the funerals and repairs, Chiron offered a week off from training to me and the rest of the seven. We have been spending most of the days by the lake and spending the nights talking in each others cabins. Tonight we are sitting in my own cabin and have decided to play truth or dare. Leo has been giving dares at full force, so most of us have removed our socks and jackets.

"Hey Perce! Truth or dare?" Leo asks with an evil grin on his face.

"Truth." I say. I am not risking another dare from that lunatic.

"So... did you ever kiss anyone before Annabeth?" He asks. That idiot.

I blush before replying cautiously, " I was kissed by Rachel." Annabeth shoots a glare at me so I quickly add on, "I immediately pushed her away." I look at Annabeth who looks a bit calmer.

"Nice save Seaweed Brain." She says with a smirk. "Also, your nose is bleeding. Again."

I bring my hand to my nose and immediately feel the sticky substance streaming onto my hand.

"That's weird. They have been happening more frequently lately." I say wiping the blood on my jeans. I then get up and walk to the bathroom to get a towel. After getting the nosebleed to stop, I finally exit the bathroom.

"Percy, you should probably go to Will. Those nosebleeds could mean something serious." Jason says, concerned. I give a laugh and sit back down next to Annabeth.

"You should listen to Jason." Annabeth says.

I shake my head and reply, "nothing is wrong. Trust me ok?"

"We are just worried Percy. It might be something serious. Tell us if anything else happens ok?" Piper says, using a bit of charm speak.

"Fine. But there won't be anything to tell." I say. I don't understand why they are freaking out. It's just a nosebleed. That kind of thing happens everyday!

Later that night, after everyone has left, I head into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After washing my face, I start brushing my teeth. I spit into the sink, only to see red swirling down the drain. Huh.

I quickly finish brushing my teeth and inspect my gums. They look to be fine other than the fact that they are bleeding. It's probably fine though. Maybe I just need to brush more? I leave the bathroom and turn out the lights in my cabin. As I get into bed, I think, "it's probably nothing."

As I get out of bed, I pull on jeans and a fresh shirt. Then I head over to the dining pavilion, where I plop down next to everyone.

As everyone starts eating their breakfasts, my stomach starts churning. Food sounds gross.

"Why aren't you eating anything," Annabeth demands.

"Yeah you usually eat enough for five men." Leo comments.

"I don't know. Just not very hungry. I had a big dinner last night. " I reply.

"You had some chips and a piece of cheese." Piper points out.

"Exactly. Big meal." I say as I roll my eyes.

"Dude you gotta eat." Jason says worriedly.

"I have been. I'm just not hungry. Ok? I'm going back to my cabin." I say as I stand up. A sudden wave of nausea comes over me and I realize I am about to puke. Oh no. They can't see me like this. They already think something is wrong.
