A Perpollo fanfic

Two

Percy awoke with a start. He remembered last night, when he was warm and safe, but that feeling had disappeared. He remembered his dream, when everyone had blamed him. Percy felt tears welling up in his eyes. He wanted those safe arms again to hold him and tell him that everything was going to be okay.

"Wait, who the hell was holding me last night?" Percy thought out loud. He looked around his room. He was in his cabin at Camp Half-Blood. He got up and looked all around the cabin to see if anybody was in there, but no. There was absolutely nobody there.

"The fuck!?" Percy said. Nico barged into his cabin, distracting Percy from his thoughts.

"Percy, do you know if you can still control poison?" Nico asked him with a worried tone.

"Uh, I'm not completely sure, but what do you need?" Percy asked with the same tone.

"Merda!" Nico cursed. "I have no idea how to say this to you easily, but Will got shot with a poison arrow."

"What the fuck? Who did it?" Perdy asked.

Nico pinched the bridge of his nose, "That's the thing, Percy. Nobody saw or confessed to doing it. Are you gonna come or not?"

"Yes, Nico, I am coming, but could you please let me get dressed first?" Percy asked. "I'm kind of only in my boxers."

"Ugh, alright. Just hurry up, please," Nico said as he ran out the door.

Percy got dressed, then ran out the door, following Nico.

When he got to the infirmary, Nico was by an unconscious Will, holding his hand.

"Okay, Nico. Where is this arrow wound?" Percy asked slowly.

Nico pointed to Will's left bicep, where an obvious arrow shaft was protruding from. He got to work getting it out.

He asked Kayla, who was spectating, to get a knife, "Sharpest you can find," Percy told her. She came back, not even a minute after, with a blade that looked like it was made by the Elder Cyclopes themselves.

Percy took that blade, thanked Kayla, and got to work, cutting the arrow shaft off. Little by little, Percy cut his way through the arrow shaft.

When he was about 3/4 of the way through, he snapped it off.

"Kayla, tweezers please." Percy commanded.

Kayla hurried off to get tweezers, and came back a minute later with some nice sized tweezers.

Percy took the tweezers out of her hands, grabbed the remaining arrow shaft with them, and pulled it out. The arrowhead however, was still inside of Will. He grabbed the knife, and cut Will's skin around where the arrow was. Percy grabbed the tweezers, and reached into Will's skin, pulling the arrowhead out.

Will was still bleeding out, and Percy had no idea how he was going to fix that, plus he still needed to get the poison out of Will.

Percy concentrated. He imagined the poison inside of Will's bloodstream, and took control of it. He pulled the poison towards the arrow wound, in a small ball, so it wouldn't contaminate the rest of his blood. Percy opened his eyes and saw a ball of yellowish poison floating in the air.

"Nico, I need you to get something to put that in," Percy ordered. "And Kayla?" Kayla turned her head towards Percy. "Hm?" she said. "I need you to call your dad. I don't think I can get the bleeding to stop."

Kayla nodded and rushed off to a quiet place to call Apollo.

Percy waited for Apollo to come, carefully holding a piece of gauze to Will's wound.
