Darkness and Light

THE LIGHT

          While walking towards Solace, I couldn't stop myself from staring at him I was not looking at him in an entranced way but I was just analysing him . The only fault was that I forgot to notice the fact that he was looking directly at me and could see me looking at him. 
         
            He had shaggy blonde hair like a surfer dude and a dazzling smile that reminded me of his father. But I couldn't see many of his father's traits in him like the way he could annoy just anyone. Will was more like a pleasing person everyone seemed to like him and know him. He always had a smile etched on his face. The smile was the best factor of him but for some reason I felt that there was more to him than  his shining smile .
          He had the build of an athlete —lean and muscular. He had a slightly tanned skin. It was clear from the eye bags under his eyes that he had had a long night. I remembered about him telling me that he been stuck in the infirmary for days.  And when put it that way,  I felt that I should have at least visited him.  But I was so weighed down by guilt about what happened to Octavian that I thought that Will probably hated me now.

       When I reached him he looked at me in an astonished way and asked     " Why are you looking at me like that? Are you checking me out? " .
"bold of you to assume that I'd ever check you out ".
He just shrugged "didn't think you'd come back.. "
"I promised and I don't break my promises ".
"Whatever death breath"
"WHAT? "
    no one had ever talked to me like that. The reason was obviously because they were scared of me and I did enjoyed it . But when he  called me that, I actually felt like laughing. But I controlled it because I didn't want Will to think that I was actually nice . What if he tell that truth to everyone and everyone start to call me some cute names?What if they start hugging me and-and...  .  Not that I hate any of that but still... I hated to show my true self mostly because I learned the hard way that you have to be a scary person to be respected even though you are not loved.
              Will told me to follow him to the infirmary. The infirmary did not look like anything I imagined or like any of the I've ever been to with my mom and Bianca . I was expecting something dark,  smelling of all those medicines and with lot of beds and a lot of people crying and bleeding. But the infirmary was too bright all the windows were open the walls were painted with many colors like a rainbow .
        There were lots of room probably the same thing as in the Hephaestus' cabin. Each patient had their own room .And even though most of the room were taken, the whole place was spotless and bright - uh a little too bright for my taste but whatever.
          
        Then he took me to the third room on the left side and asked me to wait inside while he prepared all the stuff for my medication and checkup and all those things that doctors do.
