~Flash-back~

As we walked back to the big house, my head started hurting again. At first I ignored it, but it soon grew until it was a full on migraine. My head bounded and my heart raced. "Leo. I think I need to- I need to sit- sit down." I said shakily. Leo helped me to the ground with a worried expression.

"You okay?" He asked, some-what dimly considering I was now seated on the ground, holding my head and resisting the urge to scream.

"Yup I'm totally fine. I mean besides the pounding in my ears and the splitting migraine. Yeah totally fine." I said as sarcastically as I could manage. The headache was growing rapidly and I had to resist the desire to slam my head against the ground.

"I'm gonna have to get you to Chiron, fast. Can you walk?"

In response, I slowly tried lifting myself but I fell back with a loud,"OOF."

"Looks like I'm gonna have to carry you." he grabbed my hand and slowly lifted me until all my weight was on him, the he grabbed my legs a carried me bridal style. My head rested on his shoulder and I could here his joints moving as he jogged. I breathed in his sweet yet oddly masculine smell, like wild flowers that had been working in a machinery shop for hours. And a strange tingle of tabasco sauce. I could feel him yelling but I couldn't hear anything but ringing. Everything slowly faded to black and I was out like a light.

Once I woke up, I found I was in the same room as before, only someone was now seated on the ugly green couch. Leo waved at me, smiling cheekily.

"'Sup sunshine. Glad to see you're awake." he had said.

"Don't call me that." I said groggily, attempting to sit up.

"Okay sunshine." he stood,"Well this is Chiron." he gestured to the door, and I saw that there was someone standing there... well sitting. There was an older man with a beard and in a wheel chair with a grey blanket covering his legs. He cleared his throat and smiled warmly.

"Hello, I'm Chiron, as you may or may not know. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet earlier, I had some work, but I am glad to meet you now. I understand Leo has already showed you around camp?" I nodded and he continued,"I'm sorry, it seems I did not get your name."

"Rean." I answered, finally in the sitting position.

"Alright, Rean, it seems you have had some head injuries we hadn't seen before. You should be better now, but you should still get some more rest before dinner at six." and with that, he waved at Leo to follow him, and they both left the room, shutting the door behind them.
