Aymee Parker B2 - The Cursed Mark

Chapter 50 : Mission

Special Will POV

Will watched Hepzibah go and sighed a little. This newbie pumped all of Aymee's time. Kosta was so unhappy about it he confided in his little brother. Will had then made it his mission to help him. He had promised Kosta to make sure she wouldn't come too close on the rare occasions when he could spend time alone with Aymee.

Will glanced at his half-brother, who was still kneeling beside Aymee. He was smiling broadly and laughing. These days, it was only when Aymee was around that he'd smile. Otherwise, he spent his time with the serious and serious look he had at each intervention, ruminating on his thoughts. No matter how much Will Will questioned him, Kosta wouldn't say what bothered him. After some time, the little blond had discovered Kosta had failed his science class, but that didn't seem to be the main cause of the problem.

Will pursed his lips. Meanwhile, Thalia screamed to get Michael away from her. Will rushed to them, guessing Michael was trying to convince her to come to the infirmary.

"All I need is a little nectar!" she exclaimed.

"You might have a concussion!"

"Let me go!"

"No."

Will jumped at Kosta's sudden arrival. He was followed by Clovis. The son of Hypnos touched Thalia's forehead with the tip of his index finger and the latter collapsed on the ground, snoring peacefully.

"Thank you Clovis."

"No prooooooooob," he yawned, his mouth opening so wide he could have swallowed a lesser god. "Want me to do the same for Aymee?"

"No need, she's already on her way to get some sleep."

Will was surprised Kosta had let her go alone. Well, Thalia did give them a hard time. Will's two older brothers picked her up and the blond jumped up to get ready to run.

"I'll prepare the infirmary!"

Will left without waiting for their green light. He raced down the slopes of the hills and threw open the infirmary's door. Aymee was already stretched out in the last bed, her head under the pillow, and blissfully napping. Will took out the various things they would probably need, making as little noise as possible.

The two older brothers arrived and put Thalia on the nearest bed. Will brought them the material he had taken out and they took care of her promptly. Kosta quickly judged that Michael could handle it on his own.

He waved to Will and they went to take care of Aymee, who woke up as soon as they brushed past her.

"Sorry," Kosta apologized, keeping his voice low.

"No big deal, I feel like I slept for a good hour. I took some nectar before bed so you won't have much to do."

Will figured she'd slept more like half that, but he didn't think it was too important. They took care of her bruises and few cuts in no time. Aymee fiddled with her bracelet as they checked her knee.

"I hope she didn't ruin my spear with her thunderbolt," she grumbled.

"I much prefer your spear taking that lightning than you," Kosta commented, bandaging her knee.

Will grimaced. He remembered all too well the time Clarisse ended up in the infirmary after Thalia Grace had used the electricity of her magic spear against her.

Aymee blushed, lowering her eyes. Will bit the inside of his cheeks to hide it, but he couldn't help look at the two of them. Something was going on there, right? Was he in the way?

Eventually, Kosta established that Aymee had nothing serious, which surprised no one. He decided to go back to Thalia and leave the last bandages to Will. The boy didn't miss how Aymee watched him leave with a little disappointed pout, but said nothing. Will took care of her foot as it should before letting her nap a little longer. He looked around for Kosta, but he was nowhere. Michael was sitting in a vacation chair for surveillance.
