13 - funny story... (death is involved)

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

WHEN THE SHADOWS DEPOSITED ELIA RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INFIRMARY, the first thing she heard was a startled shriek from Michael. She was definitely going to rag on him for that later. 

But first, she had to deal with the fact she felt like she'd been run over repeatedly with a semi-truck. The blonde stumbled toward the nearest person, her knees buckling as she collapsed into them. Lucia caught Elia with a gasp, taking in her appearance as Michael rushed over, helping Luci carry her sister to the nearest bed. 

Once they'd laid her down, Elia's head lolled to the side as she tried to keep her eyes open. Her body felt like Jello and she was cold— so fucking cold. Lucia turned to look at Michael and managed to choke out, "Go find Will. And Annabeth and Percy."

The dark-haired boy nodded once, before taking off at a sprint out of the cabin and grabbing Austin and Kayla from the volleyball court on the way. 

Lucia paused for a moment, looking down at her sister. Elia's skin was abnormally pale, and there were various cuts and bruises all over her body. But the things that really worried Lucia were the blonde's hands and arms; all stained black. The dark-haired girl pressed an experimental finger to her sister's skin before flinching away. She was ice cold. 

"Stay awake until Will gets here, Elle," Lucia murmured, pushing a strand of hair out of the blonde's face. She grabbed some gauze, carefully pressing it to the largest cuts she could see as Elia's eyes fluttered dangerously. "Hey," Lucia urged, "Stay awake."

The blonde managed a small shake of her head before her eyes rolled back, her consciousness abandoning her to the realm of Morpheus. 

Michael came running back in, Annabeth right behind him. "Is she..?" the daughter of Athena panted before Lee barreled through all of them. 

"Kayla told me, where—" the elder son of Apollo froze, catching sight of his little sister. His breath caught in his throat as he, Lucia, and Michael gathered around her bedside, noticing her eyes closed. "Shit. Shit shit shit shi—"

"Out of my gods damn way!" Will shoved every single one of his siblings to the side, his eyes doing a quick scan over Elia's body. He paused for a moment, furrowing his brows, before grabbing the blonde's limp wrist and pressing his fingers to her pulse point. He listened carefully as Percy came sprinting in, eyes wide and worried with Annabeth on his tail. 

The people crowded in the infirmary pressed up close, anxiously chattering until Will turned and snapped, "Quiet, please."

There was a heavy pause as Will focused on Elia's pulse again, only to feel nothing. The blonde boy took one shaky breath as he moved and pressed his fingers to his sister's neck, praying to every god that he was wrong. When he came up with nothing again, the young boy tensed, murmuring, "Lee, come here."

The eldest boy came running forward, searching his younger brother's eyes. "Start CPR," Will whispered, and Lee paused for a moment, looking down at his little sister's body with wide eyes before snapping into action. 

His hands pushed down and down and down, causing both Percy and Annabeth to surge forward at the actions. The son of Poseidon's eyes were wide with hardly contained panic as he tried to reach around Will for the blonde's limp hand. "What the fuck is goi—"

Will cut off Percy with a panicked shake of his head as he swallowed an overwhelmed sob. "Someone get them out of here!" he snapped, far too much authority in his voice than any eleven-year-old should have to bear.
