The Forgotten Ones

Part 7

Will's point of view: 

"Oh, man, I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight," I groaned attending to a Nymph's arm, the sounds of fellow Apollo kids singing in Ancient Greek to our father to help heal people. 

"There are other healers you know, Will," Nico said, standing beside me. 

"I know, but it's my duty to help," I said determinedly. 

Nico sighed, knowing he wasn't about to change my mind and said, "What can I help with?" 

"Here-" I moved and handed the gauze to him, "Wrap up her wounds, please." 

"Ok," Nico said, taking the gauze, and then continuing to wrap, as I walked away going to one of my half brothers, who was bringing in another patient with the help of a Hecate girl with a wand making the Nymph float. 

"Do we have any more people to heal?" I asked, hoping there wasn't anymore. 

"We think this is the last of them," He said, "At least for the sake of our sanity I hope it is. Once your gone most of the Apollo Cabin is going to go nuts and forget how to breathe." 

I chuckled, attending to the Nymph and feeding her a slight bit of Ambrosia, "You should give our Cabin more credit than that." 

"It's true though!" Another one of my siblings said across the infirmary, overhearing our conversation. 

"Whatever," I smiled, finishing attending to the Nymph, her falling asleep. 

I yawned, and my brother noticed, "Go get some sleep before the quest big bro, we got it covered here." 

I looked around, seeing as most of the older Apollo children and a few helpers were there, "You sure?" 

"I'm sure," He said, "You and Nico go get some sleep. I've been told you rarely get any sleep on quests." 

"That's for sure," Nico agreed, coming up behind me and motioning for us to go. 

"Well, ok, fine," I muttered, "Just- wake me up if you need anything. Okay?" 

He laughed, "Okay, Will, now go." 

Nico and I walked out of the Infirmary, me frowning, unliking the idea of leaving when I was needed. 

"They'll be fine, Will," Nico said, grabbing my hand supportively. It's more important to sleep so we can function properly and save Peleus." 

My thoughts went to Peleus as he was brought up. I hated the fact that he was dying and I couldn't do anything about it. Nico knew he was dying. I knew he was dying. I hated feeling so useless. Nico also told me during dinner that both Tyson and Ella were acting out of character. I already knew that, though, and was going to mention the same thing to him. 

"You're right," I muttered, and as we came upon the Cabins asked, "You going to your Cabin?" 

"Well, it is my Cabin," Nico said, glancing over at his Cabin. Hazel, his sister, didn't sleep there so he was left alone most of the time in his Cabin. 

"You want me to come with you?" I asked with a small smile. 

He sighed, squeezed my hand, and smiled back contently, "Sure."
