"What's got him in such a happy mood?" I asked, pointing at Jordan, the son of Demeter who only lives to pick on the campers. He's got that stupid grin on his face as he talks to his friends.

"Who knows? He probably just found someone else to torture." Hazel rolled her eyes.

"Probably." But something feels off. I have a really bad feeling about this. And his evil grin is not making matters any better.

Until Leo snapped his head over to him. "Oh, shizzle." He whispers with wide eyes. "Guys, we have to go talk to him."

I frown at him. "What? Why?"

"I heard him say Percy's name. And if I know anything about him, he probably did something."

Well that seems like a good reason to talk to the camp bully. We all stand up and walk over to him.

"Hey! Plant dude!" Leo waves and Jordan glares at him.

"What do you want flame boy." He asked, annoyance clear on his face.

"You were just talking about Percy. What did you do?" Frank asked and that seemed to make Jordan grin widely.

"What did I do? You should be asking what he did. Unless he was lying about it but I honestly don't care what he does in his spare time."

"What do you mean? What did he do?"

Jordan's eyebrows raised. "Oh my, should I really tell you? He made it seem like he wouldn't want me to spill such a secret. After all, he really seemed to want to do it. Didn't even bother hiding it either. But that's only if he wasn't lying in the first place."

"Just tell us what the hell he did." I growled and he just smiled at me.

"There, there little puppy. I was getting there."

"Well get there faster." This guy is really testing my patience.

"Well he said something about cutting his arms and telling me to let him bleed-out in peace. So, am I done here? Can you go now?" I stared at him with wide eyes and then started sprinting to the Poseidon cabin, the others right behind me.

I stopped at the door and turned the handle. The smell of blood hit me like a truck and made my eyes widen. Leo, Calypso, Hazel, and Frank put a hand over their noses and mouths. Will and I shared a look before stepping inside.

"Oh, gods." I saw him on the floor, a pool of blood around him and I could feel his life force slipping away. "Uh, Will, you can help him right?"

Will nodded and quickly went to the drawer that has all the medical supplies in it. He quickly started to work on him and I looked around, seeing a blood trail leading from the bathroom. My sister and the others ran to Percy and stared at him in horror. I looked back at the front door and saw the bloody doorknob. Blood led from the door to where he was now. I followed it to another bed that had a white pillow with blood stains on it.

I looked around more and decided to walk to the bathroom. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open. I thought it was a lot of blood out there but there was a lot more in here. I slapped a hand over my mouth as I saw the huge pool of blood against the wall. A bloody knife lay in the middle of it. I backed up from the bathroom and slowly walked over to the group.
