THE PROPHECY ² / Percy Jackson !

31

VIVIENE'S STATE KEPT GETTING WORSE AFTER HER BRAIN EXITED THE COMA POLLUX AND CASTOR PUT IT IN.

She kept waking up every hour and yelling at whoever was near her. Pollux and Castor never left the infirmarary, here in case anything went wrong and they had to act again.

She was arguing with Ares about her mothers death. When Flynn visited her and layed his head on her shoulder, Viviene cried and called him Percy, asking questions like 'why do I deserve this' and sobbing  'please come back, Perce.'

Anytime Annabeth approached her, Viviene would call her Elodie. Anytime any boy came up to her, she would either yell something about  Luke, Percy or  Holden.

"Her brain's in an induced coma." Pollux said, sitting down on a nearby chair in the infirmirary." It'll last a few hours, Chiron. "

Chiron nodded from his place near the doorway.

"What do you think is best to do, Pollux?" Chiron asked." Is there any way we can... ease this for a bit. Just until your dad comes back to camp."

"Well, maybe a change of scenery would be good?" Pollux said." Her brain sees a familiar place like camp. Remebers victims and tricks her into seeing them. Maybe if she went to a clean place with no bad memories, maybe then she'd be okay. It'd definetly stop her visions of the dead."

"You can call Sally!" Annabeth piped up from her seat next to Viviene's bed." Percy's mom. I'm sure she'd love to have Viviene and... you know, help her. Viviene always used to talk to me about the one christmas she spent there and how safe and happy she felt."

"It might bring back some memories about Percy,but..." the daughter of Athena sighed.

" It's the best choice we have." Chiron nodded. "I'll call Sally. Can you pack Viviene's things, Annabeh?"

***

Sally Jackson couldn't believe she was in front of the camps border, waiting for Annabeth to bring Viviene. She couldn't believe her son had to play heroics again and stay in a volcano that exploded.

Sally was in shock when Chiron told her what Viviene was going through. And usually, under the normal circumstances, Chiron wouldn't let Viviene leave camp.

But since the circumstances were normal and Viviene was going mad Chiron decided to let the girl leave. 

Sally cleaned the room Viviene stayed in when she first visited them and put a batch of blue cookies (and a few red sprinkly ones) into the oven before leaving. She put some of Percy's clothes into Viviene's closet, just to tell the girl it's fine if she wears them. Sally would never tell him.

Sally couldn't help but feel like her son wasn't dead. She had a feeling something else was going on here and that it would affect Viviene when she found out. Sally just wasn't sure what was happpening. She just had a bad feeling.

"Hi,  mrs. Jackson." Annabeth smiled tightly, holding a passed out Viviene in her arms and Viviene's backpack on her shoulder.

"Hi, Annabeth." Sally offered a soft smile." Let me help you get her in the car."

The two women put Viviene into the front seat and Annabeth reached into the backpack she had on her shoulder and took out a blanket and pillow. She put the pillow under Viviene's neck and covered her with the blanket. Annabeth let Sally close the car door and put the backpack into the backseat.
