Child of Time

PERCY

"As of right now he should be waking up at anytime. He's healthy but it seems that he passed out due to exhaustion, probably from either using too much power or he was running a marathon and just fainted."

"Thanks Will."

I try to open my eyes but quickly close them again due to the bright light.

I put a hand to my head and slowly open my eyes. I let out a groan when the light hurts my eyes.

"Perseus!" I hear some yell. "Guys, he's awake!" I hear a lot of rustling before the door opens and two figures run towards me.

I blink my eyes a few times so I can focus.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the infirmary." I look over to Luke to see a worried expression on his face.

"Why?"

"We found you in the woods unconscious. Perseus what happened?"

"I don't know." I furrow my eyebrows. "I was running in the woods. I was just thinking and then I was running to go meet up with you guys, then I-I don't remember anything after that."

"You were probably tired. Will, he could have been tired right? He had just fought against all three of us then went running in the woods."

Will nodded. "Yes, that could be."

Luke nodded and turned back to me. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I just got ran over by train after running after it to jump on the back but it was too fast."

Luke shakes his head with a smile. "I think he feels better."

I grin then groan as I try to sit up. "Why does my stomach hurt?" I lift up my shirt to see a red spot and a bruise. "What the fuck?"

Annabeth lets out a small laugh and Luke is trying so hard not to laugh as well. Thalia is just grinning at me and I'm giving them all weird looks.

"How the hell did I get this bruise?"

"Okay so when you fell, you landed on a rock and it did that."

"Take me there. Take me to the rock."

He raises an eyebrow but helps me out of the bed. They lead me to where they had found me and I see a huge rock on the floor. I walk over to it and pick it up.

"Let's go." I say.

"Umm where are you taking that rock Perseus?"

"You'll see." I grumble and we walk to a mini cliff that has rocks beneath it. I looked at the rock and glared. "You tell all your little rock friends not to mess with me." And with that I threw it down the cliff and it smashed to small little pieces.

"Fucking hate rocks." I stomp down the hill and make a sharp turn to go to the other cliff we were at a few days ago.

The demigods follow close behind me and I suddenly stop and lay down on the ground on my stomach. I turn my head to the side so I'm not eating the grass and sigh.

"I conquered my worst enemy." I say. The others roll their eyes at me and sit down.

The conch horn blew for dinner so we slowly got off the ground and made our way to the dining pavilion.

"I'm not hungry." I told Luke.

He looked over at me. "You should at least eat something. It can be small. A few bites and that's it."
