"The small ones died because of his brave heart. Another death will come to my dearest child. Everything was just too hard to endure right? Why don't you just give up and join my army. You are one of my greatest demi-gods. With the seven you light their way."

I heard the same woman's voice again. Same voice which tortured my soul.

"I don't know who you are. But if you're the one who killed Mitchell, I will find you!!" I shouted to this empty place.

Woman's laughter echoed. "Dear Phoebe, the one who killed Mitchell was you."

"What? No way! I would never!"

I saw a smile from far away.

...

I slowly opened my eyes. My whole body was in pain. Especially my head and my neck, they were really painful. I saw a blonde girl with gray eyes sitting next to me. She smiled at me, her hand held a glass of drink. "This is ambrosia. This will make you better."

She held my neck to help me drink it. It tasted weird but somehow my pain started to decrease. "He...he died, isn't he?" I asked something which was very obvious. The blonde girl knew what I meant, she looked down.

"We're very sorry."

I knew it. My dream became real. I hate this. I held in my tears, I couldn't let anger take control of me. Just be strong, Phoebe. Just be strong. Aunt Selene would say, "Be a strong child. Good things always come after a storm. Have faith that you are not alone."

Yeah. I just need to have faith that I will go straight to hell because I couldn't protect him.

"You need to get some more rest. I'm Annabeth Chase, nice to meet you." She shook my hand.

I smiled at her. "Phoebe McGary."

"Get some rest, Phoebe." She closed the door.

Oh God, this could happen to mom too, maybe I shouldn't go back. If I live with my mom, it would only endanger her life. I sighed as I looked at my left, Percy and Leo was asleep. I tried to sit slowly.

"Ugh..." I grimaced because of the pain.

After I sat properly I could look a bit closer at Percy since he was sleeping right next to me. His arm was wounded. Hm? This bandage was too tight, his blood circular would not flow properly. I gathered my energy and stood up to walk to his bed. I opened his bandage, careful enough not to wake him up. Just like what I thought, his blood gushed down because it had been pressured for too long. My eyes looked around for a new bandage, I checked inside a cupboard and found them.

"Ouch! Aw, aw, aw, God, that hurts!" Percy woke up.

"Hey, don't move!" I yelled from across the room.

My voice made Leo groan.

"Phoebe? You've healed? How fast!"

"Yeah, a little bit." I said, brought new bandage, cloth and water. "A girl named Annabeth gave me ambrosia." I said. I used a wet cloth to clean up Percy's scar. "Your bandage was too tight, I just had to replace it."

Percy held the pain, he grinned. "How'd you know?"

I shrugged. "My aunt taught me." Finally, I wrapped his arm with a fresh new bandage.

"Akh!" He shrieked.

"Your wound is pretty deep you know." I started to get worried. "What happened? Do you remember?"
