Percy

Artemis is immediately at my side, 

"Is that why you knocked me out of the way." I nod weakly. I can now feel the pain because the adrenaline has worn off. Artemis pulls my head into her lap 

"Percy I need to the arrow out." I don't say anything to but I know that she knows that I agree with her. she lifts up part of my shirt and says 

"OK ready?" 

"Artemis please just hurry up- " I groan in pain as she pushes the arrow forward so the tip is sticking out of me. She grabs the arrow and snaps it and then pulls the wood out me. Once the arrow is gone gold blood starts to fall from the wood. She then pulls some nectar and ambrosia out of her pocket and feeds me some ambrosia then pours the nectar down my throat and on the wound. I sigh as some of the pain goes away. She then rips part of her shirt put pressure on the wound.

"Percy I need you to put your arm around me, I am going to help you to a tent." I set myself up slowly then sling my arm around her shoulders and she tried to help me up. Keyword being tried. She sighs 

"Percy I need you to try to get up because I can't lift you by myself." We try again and I try to stand up and Artemis helps me. We are finally able to get and we slowly make our way to the one tent that wasn't destroyed by the monster attack being Artemis' tent. Once we get inside she slowly puts me down on the cot and starts to work at my still bleeding wound. Artemis is obviously very concerned by the wound.

I hear her begin to say something, but I am unable to understand it or respond before I black out.
