I Am Wind (Will Solace)

Luke Disappears

This may not follow the book exactly, but just bare with me. I know the Timeline is a off, but I did it that way on purpose, and the conversation's that are going to be held will not be exact from the books because that is Rick's work, not mine, I'm just basing my plot off his. 

"What?!" I sat back up in bed and pushed back my covers. 

"Jamie, hang on." Will said trying to restrain me. 

"Is he okay?" I asked swinging my stiff feet over the side of the bed. 

"Chiron took him back here, he's in the room next door, and I looked for Luke, but he's gone!" Connor said watching in horror as I tried to stand up. 

Once I was on my feet, I nearly fell, but thankfully Will and Connor both stepped forward catching me. "You really need to get back in bed." Will pointed out as I walked slowly towards the door while using both of them as a crutch. 

"It's because I couldn't wake up fast enough, that's why Percy is hurt." I said. 

"There's nothing you can do for him." 

"Yeah, but when I was in my coma it was nice to see my friends by my bedside. I'm going to make sure I'm there when he gets up." 

Making my way to the door that held Percy, I stepped in seeing Chiron and Annabeth by his bedside with Chiron working. Will went forward to help. "Jamie!" Annie said looking at my weak state. 

"Will he live?" I asked looking to Chiron, desperation in my eyes. 

"I think so." Chiron said as I fell down beside Percy. He was laying there motionless, just like I was when I was out cold. 

Hours passed with Chiron and Will finishing up, and soon everyone left except me and Chiron. I knew he wanted to ask me about Luke, but he could see the pain in my eyes, so much so that he remained silent. 

Finally, I couldn't take his silent thoughts anymore and decided to get it all out in the open. "I'm sorry." I said speaking to both Percy and Chiron. 

"For what my Child?" Chiron asked. 

"I should have known it was Luke, all the signs were there, if I had just stopped him when I had the chance, none of this would have happened." I touched Percy's hand, for some odd reason I felt close to Percy. "And if I had woken up sooner Percy wouldn't be lying here in this bed." 

"This is on all of us. You can not blame just yourself." Chiron said. "My love for Luke blinded me from what I didn't want to see." 

More silence fell, and I decided to tell Chiron what Luke told me. "He said he wanted revenge on the gods." I said watching Chiron perk up out of the corner of my eye. "He said that the gods deserved this, and that this was only his first step. He claims there is so much more to come, and he has a power that can take down the gods." 

"Did he say what?" 

"No, but judging by the look in his eyes, he wasn't bluffing." 

"This is quite disturbing indeed." He stood up. "I must consult the gods, I trust that you can watch over him." 

"I won't leave his side." I replied. 

*******

Day's passed, with Percy still asleep. Annabeth came in whenever she could, and Grover visited quite a bit. Grover was still nervous around me, and when I eventually asked him why, he told me about how it was his fault Thalia, my tree sister, got turned into a tree, and it is something he regrets more than anything. 

Will came a lot not only to take care of Percy and my healing wound, but also to keep me company. It was still pretty awkward between us because neither of us wanted to mention about what we saw in the cave, so Will spent his time teaching me about medicine.
