I don't know when I fell asleep again, but I woke up immediately drenched in sweat and sat up on the bed quickly. Surrounding me was Percy who sat on a stool."Hey, what's wrong?" He asked watching the panicked look on my face.
"Nothing. I'm fine." I said.
"Is your leg wound healed yet ?" He asked.
" Not yet. Will says that he'll do it today," I replied.
" I panicked and I brought you here. I should've just carried you to the water. You would've been fine by now. But they wouldn't let me take you out to go to the lake."
"Percy this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself."
***"Okay that's it," Will says as he puts the puts the thread back into a box.
" You are free to leave but I would advise you not to put too much pressure on your leg. Maybe take a right crutch on your way out." He continued.
" I will. How's Nico?" I asked.
" He's good. I bandaged his arm and he's just as normal," he replied.
"That's good."
***
I walked out of the infirmary using the crutch to support my right leg. With the magic salve Will had applied, along with some nectar and ambrosia, he said it should be fully healed in 48 hours.48 hours of using a stupid crutch because they wouldn't listen to Percy. I walked out to the Amphithetre and sat down. I looked out into the distance thinking about what I saw in my dream. What was that? Why was Aphrodite there?
"Priya!!" I heard someone yell as I got back to reality.
" I was calling your name about 5 times," Jay said as he sat down next to me.
" Jay I'm so glad you're okay," I said and pulled him in for a hug.
" I'd say the same about you but you seem out of it." He replied curiously.
" No I'm fine. Just thinking about how I could've improved so that I wouldn't have gotten This stupid leg wound," I said pointing to my leg.
***
All I can do now is just sit around and do nothing. I can't walk properly. I hate this. I hate not being able to do anything. I walked off and I sat down outside on the steps of the Poseidon cabin. I saw the new girl walking out of the Hermes cabin. Aria I think it was.
"Hey!" I shouted.
" Hey. Uh..Priya right?"
"Yeah. Is your leg healed?"
" I've still got to apply the cream but it's good."
" Oh. Well I injured my leg now. And Doctor says that I need to use a crutch," I said pointing to my crutch resting on the stairs.
" Hope it gets better,"
"Thanks. Where are you off to?" I asked.
" Oh..Jay said that he'll take me on a tour of the camp and then we'll go canoeing cause I'm not a big fan of water," she replied.
"Oh okay. Have fun. You'll like it here," I said.
