No matter how hard I strain, Will still won't let me leave the infirmary.
"You could still be in a critical condition" he reminds me for the 5th time.
"Please, I want to go now! This man could have the answers that I need. I need to know who I really am and where I come from." I sound like a toddler not getting a lollipop but I don't care. I want my memories back.
A lock of icy hair falls to my face. I didn't know I had white hair. It looks more like snow than anything. I brush it away absentmindedly. Old habit?
"Sleep" he instructs "it'll make you feel better."
"You know what else will? Answers. Best medicine there is." I snap, clearly annoyed.
"Don't be like that. I'll get a Hypnos kid to come over here and make you sleep. You can see Chiron when you're better."
"And when's that?"
Will grows impatient " I don't know, you've been out for 4 days and-"
"4 days!" I shriek.
"Why would you care?" He asks stubbornly.
I get mad. It is 100% my business only.
I bolt out of bed.
"You're not going anywhere" Will tells me.
"Watch me" I respond bitterly.
I sprint out of the infirmary where various teens with cuts stand, laughing about sword practice.
I don't remember seeing a sprinter run before, but I know I am super slow by comparison. After a short period, pains stab through my sides. I double over, moving into a fetal position on the ground. The grass feels so cool in the warm sun, like a mattress, inside the shade of a big blue house.
Will runs after me. He drops to the ground next to me and feels my heartbeat.
""Smooth move" he teases.
Through labored breaths I mutter "I'd like you to do better"
"C'mon now"
I feel him put his arms under my armpits. Dragging me all the way back to the infirmary.
Under the warm blankets, I shake a disapproving head "you didn't give me a chance to find Chiron or whatever"
"I told you you should sleep. Apollo is my dad, god of medicine and all that jazz"
"Doesn't matter. What time is it?"
Will chuckles "It's noon, past your bedtime"
"When I wake up, I'm going to slap you"
"Do try" he smirks "Goodnight my pleasant patient".
I doze off before he could even finish.
Sadly, I knew it was going to happen😈. Hopefully next chapter, she'll find out everything and it will be alright. But what does Percy have to do with it, I wonder...
Find out next chapter!
Peace, love, science
