Not Everything Is As It Seems

Chapter 17 - Part C

I don't own Percy Jackson or any Characters that you recognise from the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus universe

Percy's POV

I wake up another time. I slowly blink my eyes open. It still hurts – by a lot – when I move, but not as much. Luckily. My eyeballs move slightly, before I'm forced to stop moving them as it gives me a headache. I did see someone out of the corner of my eye. It's Ophion, who is the Primordial of Life.

I'm surprised that it isn't Order. The last couple of times I have woken up for a while, it's been Order waiting for me. Chaos probably forced her to relax a bit to stop her from worrying about my health as much.

They decided to have someone with me at all times in case I need something done or anything.

I feel like yawning, but I don't. I still don't have enough energy or strength to really do much. I also don't want to hurt myself and put myself in any more pain then that I already am in.

"Morning, or is it afternoon?" I ask Ophion, making him jump.

"It's currently afternoon, about 6.58pm." He replies.

He pulls a cord that I see out of the corner of my eye. It's the cord that alerts Chaos that a patient is awake. Now, it also has an equal amount of white swirling up its side. This has been changed to allow both Chaos and Order to know that a patient is awake. And just as I thought they would, about three seconds later, they both arrive through the use of a portal.

"How are you feeling/Are you feeling any better?" They both us me at the same time, making me amused.

"I'm feeling better. Don't worry." I reply even though I know that they will all still worry about me. "How long have I been out this time?"

"Just over two months." Order informs me.

I want to nod, but I know that I can't for several reasons that have already been mentioned, so I say, "Okay."

It's quite for several moments.

"I'm bored! And I'm tired of sleeping."

The two of them smile apologetically, but also slightly troubled but try to hide the trouble in their expressions, not wanting to worry me.

"We know Percy." Order says sadly.

"We are trying everything we can to create something that will help with your amplified senses, but it's one of the slowest processes that I have ever been involved in."

"Alright." I reply with a mental sigh.

Time skip

I wake up another time. I'm quite sure that this is the 11th time I've woken up since I first talked to them all. I look to see who is sitting next to me this time. Apollo, and he is also checking some machines I can't see over, as they are out of the corner of my sight.

"How long have I been asleep this time?" I utter telepathically.

"Just a couple of days under a month and a half." Apollo instantly replies to my question, pulling the cord. "You are waking up quicker now."

"That's good." I reply.

"Yes, it is." Order adds coming into the room with Chaos.

"Your senses are slowly going back to normal, even though it has now been over three years since you first went into the coma."

It's quiet, besides the quiet steps Apollo makes while looking at the machines.
