Percy's POV
I come awake feeling disoriented, bringing with it a wave of confusion that makes my head spin. Something feels wrong. Not dangerous, just completely out of place. My bed shouldn't be this rigid, and why can't I feel Henderson beside me?
Her scent fills my nostrils, close but not close enough. I force my eyes open and immediately curse as fluorescent light burns my retinas. What the hell is that doing above me?
"There he is." Luna Dorothy's voice cuts through my disorientation. A moment later she appears beside me, and the positioning becomes clear. Hospital bed. Medical equipment. But why?
The bear attack is long behind us. I didn't imagine everything that happened after, did I?
"Where's Henderson?" The words come out rougher than intended.
"She stepped out for a moment. She'll be back shortly. How are you feeling?"
Fine, aside from being completely lost about why I'm here.
