Camp Half Blood: One "Salty" Adventure

Camp Half Blood: A Salty Sequel//Chapter Ten

Nathan's POV:

It took us a lot less time to get back to camp than it did to get to Khione's castle. We never rested, really. Usually, Ben made us stop for a twenty minute nap. Either him or I were the ones to take watch. It worked out. Myra woke up many times. She was walking for a week, but she was freaking out the whole time. We restrained her, forcing her to stay with Cole. I searched my bag and found handcuffs. I remembered putting them in, not sure why though. I was rushing to get a few more things in before we left so I might've just threw them in. I attached her to Cole and took her sword away. I patted her down just in case she had another weapon on her. I doubted she did, but then again, Rose had a knife on her that none of us had ever seen before. She said she grabbed it just in case and we all shrugged it off, kinda glad she did. She would've died otherwise. We got back to camp in a little less than a month. Before any of us were able to talk to anyone, we were all sent to the infirmary for a full body check up. Apparently, we looked worse than we each thought. We were just trying to stay alive. Myra was put in a bed and forced to take Unicorn drought. I talked to Will while he checked me over. I was badly cut in a few places and given ambrosia. "Reminds me of the first time Myra was here." Will said sadly as he put a few band aids here and there. "She was just as annoyed and furious. Fought back. Then I gave her the Unicorn drought. She's gonna be so pissed once she wakes up." He laughed, probably remembering those days of first meeting Myra.

"She is a feisty one." I laughed too. "I... I was her boyfriend in the castle. I had to scout out the place and I did. But I kinda... I don't know." He looked at me.

"Did you fall for her, Nathan?" He asked worried.

"No, no of course not. She just didn't know better and she fell for me. It just sucks, you know?...that I'm gonna have to leave."

"So you're friends with them?"

"Well... I-I mean I don't know. It's odd..."

"You've never had friends after quests like this. Does that mean you're going to stay this time?" Will asked this because, after quests, I usually left. I only ever come back when Chiron needs me. But this group of people... they're different. But, I should go. I always do.

"I don't know. I guess I'll have to think about it."

"Please do, we could use you around here, Nath. We all miss you when you leave." I told him again that I'd think about it. He nodded and then went to check on the other people in the infirmary. Ben and Rose had already finished and left. Rose went to her cabin, probably saying hello to Percy. She said once we got here she was taking the "longest nap of" her "life." Ben said he might do the same. Cole said he was staying with Myra no matter what, so I was guessing he would stay in the infirmary. I went to check, and he was in the cot next to hers, dead asleep. I smiled at the sight. He had moved the cot closer to Myra's and held her hand as they slept. I looked at her face. She smirked a little and, seemingly, tightened her grip on his hand. I looked back at Cole to see him smile in his sleep too. Hopefully, she'd gain her memory back. Hopefully, I'd stay.
