I had been treating Courtney's wounds the best I could since we escaped but she was still beaten, the damage had already been done. I just needed to figure out how to fix it. She had been in an unconscious state since I found her. She hadn't said a thing and I found myself wondering why Mr. Rockwell would want to hurt Courtney, why would he want to kill his daughter's best friend? I sat there, looking at the scars that covered Courtney's skin, searching for the answer that I was never going to get. I sighed, I didn't want to be a downer, I certainly didn't want to let Annabeth down by not saving her friend but I was almost certain that Courtney was dying. I heard a groan and turned my head back to her, her green eyes fluttered open
"Am I dead? I feel dead" she said and I laughed lightly, tears of joy running down my cheeks
"No, you're very much alive" I said with a smile
"I need to talk to you" Courtney said, her tone was serious
"Okay" I agreed, it had to be important and about what happened. But before she could say anything to me, she passed out. What's so important? Was it about what happened to her? I had to find out but for now, she needed her rest. I heard a twig snap behind me, I grabbed the gun out of my bag, checking to make sure it was loaded before standing up
"Hey! Whoever the hell you are, you better get your ass out here!" I yelled, stepping out from behind the trees was Nate and Annabeth, I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that it was them. Courtney was gonna be okay.
