Notes from the author
crai* I already started this chapter but I forgot to save.. RIP ME...
If you didn't figure out, the skeletons last chapter were the skeletons in The Titan's Curse that followed Percy everywhere, all the way to Camp Half-Blood.
Chapter Eight
Juki woke up. The pain in her stomache was dull. She tried to sit up, but when she did, the pain instantly flared and she ended up laying back down. Even then, the pain stayed. The door opened and Percy and Annabeth walked in.
"How are you doing?" Annabeth said.
"Awake, at least." Juki responded. "Is it really possible to be okay with a bullet wound?"
"Nope! Nope at all!" Percy said with his normal, crazy-in-the-silly-way smile. "But the wound was small despite going straight through your back, so, 'with the right amount of sleep, ambrosia and nectar, you will be up and about in about a week' as Chiron and Will said."
Annabeth looked down at Juki. "Honestly, you're lucky it didn't turn out like when Jason got stabbed."
"Jason WHAT?"
"Jason got stabbed. When we were trying to figure out a way to get to New Rome last year."
"Jason GRACE?!"
"Yes."
"But he seemed perfectly fine..." Juki said.
"For.. some reason none of us will ever figure out, even though I had been there, he healed while we were fighting underwater...." Percy said. Then he added under his breath, "In other words, when he was telling Kym why he should help while I was spinning in a poisonous cloud of water..."
"Uhhh... how did he get underwater?" Juki said.
"Storm spirit."
"Storm what?"
"Basically just had a ton of winds around him from a storm spirit."
"Ok..." She still didn't understand what the heck Percy was talking about.
Annabeth looked out the door and said, "Come on Percy. Chiron's waving at us to get out. You guys have had enough brother-sister time. LET'S GO." She yelled at she grabbed Percy's arm and dragged him out. Percy waved with he other arm as he was being dragged out.
