Previously:
I get so distracted by Percy being hit I don't see the hydra's claw about to tear me to shreds.
"Look out!"
When I turn around I see the claw coming for me but I don't feel it.
Before me is the new girl, standing protectively in front of me.
She took a monster hit for me.
She turns around, facing me, and I see three bleeding claw marks running through her chest.
She says to me, "You're not hurt are you, scaredy-cat?" Then she falls.

A/N: Left you all at a cliffhanger in the last chapter. (don't worry it'll happen a lot.) This chapter won't end in one I promise. (maybe)
Unedited

I woke up in a hospital bed with a headache and massive pain from my chest.
I look down to see my old clothes have been changed into a Camp Half Blood tee shirt and jeans shorts. Lifting up the shirt I see bandages wrapped around my whole chest and stomach.
"You're finally awake." A familiar voice says. I look over to see Annabeth sitting in a chair in the middle of my bed and another that hosts the injured boy from the hydra fight. Percy, I think his name was, Annabeth's boyfriend.
"How long was I out?" I ask her.
"Two days, you took quite a hit." She says.
I remember taking the hit for the boy on Half-Blood Hill. My chest hurt like hell, but at least it wasn't him on this hospital bed.
As I'm staring off into space Annabeth slaps me in the head.
"OW" I say.
"You need to stop rushing into situations like that! You've almost gotten yourself killed twice!" Then she goes on ranting about how I need to stop being so reckless start thinking about my actions before I do them.
Having hearing this speech so many times, I decided to cut it short, even Percy looked as if he was going to fall asleep from all her ranting.
"Okay Mom I get it, are you done?"
Annabeth just stares blankly at me while Percy is trying not to laugh.
"Young lady that is not how you talk to your mother." She says trying to look angry but failing miserably leaving all of us laughing. Percy looks like he's on the brink of tears.
"I should probably go get Will so he can give you two a check up to see if your able to leave." Annabeth says standing from her chair.
Percy and I groan at the thought of staying in the infirmary any longer. I may have been asleep for the whole time, but the smell of medicine was starting to make me sick.
When Annabeth leaves the room Percy turns to me.
"Thanks for saving Nico back there, I'm Percy."
"No problem, and I already know who you are "Seaweed-Brain"." I say using Annabeth's little nickname for him.
"Annabeth talks about you all the time." I say thinking back to all of the times we talked about him at sleepovers and how Annabeth said I would get to meet him when I got to camp.
Percy has a smug expression as if he was expecting this. "What does she say" How awesome I am or maybe how I'm totally adorable?"
"Nope she mainly says how totally uncool you are and that you're really annoying." I say joking.
We both laugh and continue talking and soon Percy becomes my second closest friend.
When Annabeth returns she brings back two boys with her.
The first boy who looks to be at least fifteen with curly blond hair and a nice tan. He wears a Camp Half-Blood tee and shorts. He immediately goes over to Percy and starts asking questions on how he's feeling and other stuff I don't bother to pay attention to.
The other boy looks my age with dark hair and pale skin. He wears mostly black with an aviator jacket. I recognize him as the boy I saved. He keeps his head down and doesn't speak. I expected at least a small thank you but he just stands there.
"Andy this is Nico." Annabeth says.
I stare at Nico, who still refuses to look up or speak, waiting to hear something.
....
Nothing.
....
Still nothing. Everyone is silent.
....
This is starting to upset me.
...
Loosing patience.

"Anata wa tada soko ni tatte shiyou to shite imasu! Watashi wa sono hyrda kara o shiri o hozon shi, watashi mo orei o eru koto wa arimasen! Watashi wa anata no tame ni sono hitto o toru hitsuyō wa arimasendeshita!" I shout to Nico.
"Andy you're ranting in Japanese again." Annabeth calmly says. Was I? Didn't notice. (First to translate gets a dedication in the next chapter!)
"Does she do that often?" Percy asked.
"Too often." Annabeth said.
Nico leaves leaving me even more pissed off than before.
"Alright Percy you're free to go." The boy from earlier says finishing with his check up.
Percy jumps up and shouts, "Freedom!" He gives Annabeth a kiss goodbye, (PERCABETH) turns to me and says, "Don't worry I'll talk to Nico for you, he's not used to new people." And he leaves.
"Alright Andy, I'm Will, son of Apollo, I kind of run things here in the infirmary." Will says introducing himself.
He then proceeds to ask the same questions he asked Percy and soon enough, I'm free to leave.
"Andy it is time for your tour of your new home."
( I LIED )

A/N: Chapter 3 is finished! Probably one of my quickest updates. I feel it could be longer but I'm lazy, sorry not sorry 😛.
This time I promise the tour chapter won't take years like my other story Death of a Tyrant (though it is coming so stay on your toes, unless you don't have toes sorry)
See y'all next time
I'm glad you exist and May Death Never Stop You
