The Horn of Plenty (A Percy Jackson FanFic) COMPLETE

Chapter 24

London wasn't a big fan of blood, but he had to stay with Kaytrin to make sure she stayed safe.

His mind kept returning to when he kissed her. He wondered if he messed up their relationship. He had never felt that was towards anyone before, and really wanted her to like him back.

Before Kaytrin came to camp he was lonely. That was why he flirted with all of the girls at camp, starting his own fan group.

He hoped to find a good friend he could trust. He had just turned fifteen, and he had hoped to find a girlfriend sometime soon, too. He wanted to be able to love someone.

He was so excited when Kaytrin arrived. He thought he had found a friend. It then slowly developed into a crush, when they were on the quest. And when she wakes up, he may have a girlfriend, if she says yes.

A few hours later, Kaytrin's sleeping drugs wore off. She started twitching her fingers, her eyelids fluttering a little bit.

"She's waking up!" Will Solace called.

London rushed to Kaytrin's bed, watching her start to move around. Her eyes opened, and they found London's face.

She smiled sleepily.

"Hey," he said, a little nervous. He didn't consider it before, but she may not remember the kiss.

She tried to sit up, but one of her arms wasn't helping to prop her up. She looked over at her shoulder, and sucked in a deep breath. Her arm was gone. The conversation with London was real. They amputated her arm. If that was real, then... could the kiss be real? Maybe. She would have to see about that later. Right now, she needed to focus on sitting up.

The healers all helped her to sit up, avoiding her shoulder.

Kaytrin turned to look at London.

London's heart felt like it was twisting itself into a knot when he saw her expression. Fear, depression, grief, and anxiety were all wrapped up in her emotions, smothering her hope.

"Kay, you will be fine. You're alive. That is what matters."

She nodded, relief slowly creeping into her expression.
