[Hey Lads and Lasses! Sorry for the delay, but I did warn ya's. Time for another chapter!]

[- Pringles out!]

As it turns out, the campers had won capture the flag. Bringing and end to the hunters fifty-six game winning streak. Of course, the hunters were pissed. Didn't help the fact that the campers were celebrating, hard. We did put a damper on things when we showed up in our situation.

"We need a healer!" Cried Percy.

Two boys left the crowd and ran towards us.

"Will, Nico, help us get her to the infirmary." Percy said.

"Okay." Said one of the boys, Will I believe.

Will had shaggy blond hair, blue eyes, and quite the athletic build. Nico in the other hand, had long-ish dark hair and pale skin. He was wearing a black variant of the Camp Shirt with a skeletal Pegasus and the words CABIN 13, tattered jeans.

To be honest, he kinda scared me.

Anyways, we ran into what I assumed was the infirmary and set the girl down on an unoccupied bed. By the looks of it, the hunters gave the campers hell. One kid had two black-eyes (probably from a boxing glove arrow), another had a broken arm, and a third was lying on their front with an arrow in his butt (poor lad).

"Okay, so what happened?" Asked Will.

Percy spoke. "Well me and Geordie here, guardian of the hunt..." I waved. "...were fighting on the beach when we found her washed upon in the shore. All I know is that she's unconscious, and has no seawater in her lungs so she hasn't drowned."

Will (Solace) nodded. "Alright, that makes my job easier. I'll give her a quick check over, just to be safe."

We watched as he checked her for any brakes or bruises and take her temperature.

"So who won?" Asked Nico, scaring the life out of me. I forgot he was there.

"Neither of us." I replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Well lots of water, plus lots of fire, equals a lot of steam. And as we couldn't see each other, we called it a draw." Replied Percy.

"Dam, wish I could have seen it." Said Nico.

We all laughed.

"Alright." interrupted Will. "Apart from a few bumps and bruises, all she needs is some rest."

"Thank you Will." I said, I bit weirded out that someone else I knew had the same name.

"It's no problem, just doing my job. Say, the campfires about to start. You guys wanna come?" He asked.

"Sure!" Said Percy.

"I'm good." I replied. "I think I'll just stay here and keep and eye in her."

"Okay."

Suddenly, a light appeared above the girls head in the shape of a staff with two snakes.

A caduceus.

"Well then." I said. "All hail the daughter of Hermes I guess."

After recovering from that interruption, Will and Percy left, along with the treated patients. I turned to Nico, who seemed to be a bit distracted.

"You staying?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh uh... no no. I'm going. It's just that... she looks a lot like my sister."

"Really?"

He continued. "Yeah. Im getting flashbacks to one of our quests. She was poisoned and... well, I wasn't much help."
