Jason's POV
I was suprised.
Percy looked better now. Victor's words went through my brain in an instant.
Maybe he was wrong.
His eyes sparkled as he talked to Frank. Frank laughed at Percy's words. Percy didn't have any bandages around his arms or anywhere. He was actually eating. I had barely seen him eat. He looked a lot better. I glanced at Victor who was staring at Percy. I didn't know what that meant. I turned back to my own breakfast and dug in. I was tired of thinking about Percy now.
When I looked back up in curiosity, Percy was already gone. I went to the arena to see him teaching the campers. He let the kids train in groups, and I went up to him. He smiled at me.
"Hi."
I nodded slowly. "You look better."
His eyes flashed. "Yes. Victor told me I could go back to normal activities.
"Thats great."
"I'm glad I'm moving around now." he streched. "It feels much better to be outside than being cooped inside a room all day."
I smiled at him. "Glad you're feeling better."
"Thanks." he glanced at the kids. "I have to go back to them. See you later."
"Bye."
I went outside and shivered in the cold air. I walked briskly to my cabin. I might have to go to the Roman camp. I had to ask Frank.
"Jason."
I looked around to see Hazel. Her golden eyes sparkled at me.
"Where are you going?"
"Frank. You know where he is?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I forgot when I have to go to the Roman camp."
She nodded. "It's today. You'll be going with Frank."
"You know when?"
She shook her head. "You should go ask him. He's at the big house."
"Thanks."
I walked to the big house and looked around for Frank. I spotted him talking with Chiron. I went up to them and Frank glanced at me.
"Hi."
"Hi. When do we go to Camp Jupiter?"
"Oh. After lunch."
I nodded. "How are we going?"
He frowned. "Percy said he could make a portal. I'm not sure though..."
"He looked fine until now."
"... Yeah. But still."
"He said Victor let him go back to daily activities."
Chiron furrowed his eyebrows, swishing his tail. "Victor told me not to exert him too much."
"Yes I did." Victor stood next to me. "What's this about?"
"... Percy said he would make a portal to Camp Jupiter."
Victor paused.
"Can he?"
He let out a long sigh. "Well, I guess he could."
"Oh... Victor. You know, about..."
His eyes hardened. "We'll have to push that back now." he said stiffly.
I nodded slowly. Victor glanced at Chiron.
"What is Percy doing now?"
"He should be done teaching the campers."
He scowled and glanced at his watch. "I should go check he isn't training."
"Bye."
He nodded. "See you later."

Victor's POV
"Hey."
Percy looked up from his water bottle and smiled. "Hi."
I sat next to him. "It's cold outside."
"I know." he wiped his sweat with a towel.
"Did you train?"
He shrugged. "Only a little."
"I told you to go easy on yourself."
"I am Victor." he whined. "I usually move a lot more."
"Still."
He scowled. "So what."
"You're feeling alright?"
He pursed his lips. "I am getting tired more easily lately." he admitted. "But I'm fine."
"Go and rest before lunch. I heard that you said you would make a portal to Camp Jupiter."
"Yeah. Why?"
I sighed. "You'll be alright?"
He glugged down the rest of the water and shook the last drops on his head. I cringed.
"It's the easiest way to the camp."
"You don't have to do it. They could take a plane."
"It takes money. We need to save as much as we can."
He had a point.
"... Alright. Don't try to work too much after, okay?"
He nodded. I glanced at his other bottle of water.
"You're going to stay here longer?"
"Yeah."
"You shouldn't."
"Victor." he whined.
I sighed. "Fine. Only 30 minutes."
He stood up and glanced at me. "Are you going to stay?"
I nodded.
He stared at me for a few moments before going to get the dummy. I took my clipboard out of my bag and flipped back a few pages.
No symptoms till now....
I looked up at him clicking his pen to a sword. I scribbled quickly on my paper. He would only need some sleeping pills. I had been using weaker painkillers every time, and I think it worked. Maybe he wouldn't need any now. This morning he had been quite healthy it was odd. His pulse was steady. He told me he felt fine, and he even ate breakfast. I glanced at him again.
Maybe... Maybe he wouldn't die.
I smiled. It was a good choice to ask the other councilors. If I hadn't.... I shuddered. I couldn't imagine it. I didn't want to. I stared at the two lumps on his back, remembering what had started this.
I wished he had never met Chaos.
I wished he died before he met me.
I didn't want to lose him- and it was such a new feeling that I knew I was being overprotective. How could I not? He was the best friend I had ever had. I had always felt pity, sorrow, and sympathy for him. He was the reason I had met Reyna in the first place. I sighed. I had way to much I wanted to keep. I knew what would happen.
Everything would slip through my fingers.
Again.
"Victor!"
I looked up, forcing a smile.
Lets think about now.
Now was good enough.
