I Wake Up

Theo's POV

I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, my head hurts like a bitch, and so does the rest of my body.

Was that a dream? Was I really driving a McLaren? Did I really see my best friend die in front of me? Who was that girl who checked on me before running away?

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was in a cabin of sorts, and I was lying on a soft bed. I groan as I slowly start to sit up, only for somebody to put their hands on my shoulders to stop me.

???: Hey, easy. Easy.

I looked at who was holding me back and saw that it was a dark-skinned kid wearing an orange T-shirt that said "Camp Half-Blood." I looked down at his legs and saw that he had goat legs...Just like Eric did.

So that means...that everything that I saw last night...actually happened.

Theo: (sighs) Oh, shit.

I lay back down and tried to hold back tears, but I couldn't.

Goat Boy: I'm...I'm sorry.

I looked up at the goat boy and saw that he had the same expression that I had.

Theo: Did...Did you know Eric? Eric Hayes?

The goat boy hesitated before responding.

Goat Boy: He, um...He was kind of a role model for a lot of satyrs like me.

Theo: Then I'm the one who should apologize. He died because of me.

Goat Boy: Don't say that. I don't blame you for what happened. And I'm sure he wouldn't blame you either.

But I do.

Grover: I'm Grover, by the way.

Theo: (sighs) Theo.

Grover picked up a cup of what looked like apple juice with a straw on it.

Grover: Here. Drink this.

I slowly grabbed the cup and drank the liquid from the straw. The second I did, I started feeling better, and I immediately tasted David's lasagna. I kept drinking until Grover snatched the cup from me.

Grover: Careful. You don't wanna drink too much of that.

I was too tired to argue. I looked beside me and saw a shoebox and Ethan's sword on the bedside table. I picked up the shoebox, opened it, and saw the Odontotyrannos horn I cut off, and the arrow I used to stab one of its eyes.

Theo: (sighs) Could I just get a minute?

Grover: Yeah, sure. I gotta go check on Percy anyway.

Wait, who the hell of Percy?

Grover got up and started walking away.

Theo: Wait.

He stopped and looked at me.

Theo: How long...have I been out?

Grover: (sighs) Five days.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise as Grover walked out of the cabin. I put the shoebox down before slowly getting up off the bed.

I reached under my shirt and pulled out the arrowhead necklace that hung around my neck, and I had a thought.

The arrow had the same arrowhead. That can't be a coincidence, can it?

Then I remembered that Eric told me that my dad was a half-blood, and my grandfather is a god. So by that logic, that meant that my mother is a goddess. But I still don't understand what the hell he was talking about.
