(Mace's POV) 

I woke up with a start.  Sweat went down my face as if I had taken a bath.  My shirt was sticking to my chest, showing my tiny belly. 

I was in a Hospital-like bed but around me wasn't a Hospital. Around me looked like a man cave.  On the walls were animal heads, moose heads, deer heads, and a leopard head. It roared when I looked at it.  My heart would've ran out of my chest if I saw that a day ago, but right about now it seemed pretty normal. 

There was a red rug under me with intricate trim around it. The walls around me were wood as if it was a cabin. Tiny stairs went up another story of the house. 

Everything else made it seem it was a regular mortal house. No thrones, no huge people having conversations, regular.

Except for the boy passed out over me. 

His eyes were white and his skin was as cold as ice. He wore an orange t-shirt and jeans and some tennis shoes on.  He looked around 16 or 17. Normal for a teenager. Well, except for the white eyes.

"Help!" I croaked. I didn't realize my voice would be houris when I woke up.

Immediately some kids came running from the door. They opened it and came inside. Bright sunlight came in and almost blinded me. 

"Percy! Oh no.  Get Chiron!" One of them yelled. The other one ran out the door. The one that yelled looked at me.  

"H-how long have I been out?" I asked her. She held up one finger while she was checking the boy in orange shirt's pulse. 

"One... hour?"  I asked. She shook her head, still holding up one finger.

"One day?" This time I asked it shakily. She shook her head again. 

"One week?"  

She nodded. 

In frustration and confusion, at lay back down in my bed. "One week." I whispered.

She shook her head, and sighed. "He's out cold."  She looked at me. "What did you do?"   

I put on a hurt face. "I didn't do anything! I just got up!" 

She raised her eyebrow. "You must have been the only one in the room when this happened. Unless someone else came in.... but there's no sign of struggle or any furniture broken."

Just then the white stallion guy, Chiron, came in. 

"Percy! What happened to him?"  Chiron asked. 

They all shrugged.  Though, the girl accusing me stepped forward. "He must have been out for at least an hour. He doesn't seem drugged or poisoned, nor does he have any injuries.... It just seemed as though he just... I don't know really."

Chiron nodded. "There will be a meeting here in two hours. I would like everyone to attend. Even you." He gestured to me.

"Wait, but, where am I? I don't even know any of these people." I complained. Chiron nodded. "Might as well. You-" He pointed to the girl, " Will you give him a tour of the camp?"

Camp?

The girl looked infuriated. "Me?! Why me?" she asked. 

"Because you were the first person to talk to him, am I wrong?" Chiron replied. 

She sighed, but nodded.  "Very well then. Set up a bed for Percy. I'll talk to Dionysus about this." Chiron said.   

Then, Chiron galloped out of the door and out of sight.  The other kids got a bed set for Percy and went to get him, but the girl just looked at me. 

I started tapping my fingers against the bed.  "So..... What's your name?" I asked. 

"Alex." She said, but she was still staring at me.  I got more nervous, and started tapping the bed faster.

"Come on." She finally said, and she went out the door.

I shrugged and went to catch up with her.
