It felt like I was floating. I was free with nothing to worry about. But, there was this unnerving feeling like I was missing something. I began to feel drowsy. My instincts told me to fight it so I did. I did my best.

        Then, I heard sobbing. Somebody was sobbing. I also heard a voice.

        "It's okay, Cole. I know my sister. She's a fighter, and she won't leave you or Nico will go get her and drag her ass right back here to you. Okay?" Sky said. I would know Sky's voice anywhere.

        "Okay," Cole said reluctantly. Cole's voice turned angry. "Why would someone hurt her. She's just so sweet and innocent. WHY???"

        I had to wake up. I had to ease his pain. I must open my eyes.

        I opened my eyes and saw Cole looking at Sky. Sky said, "Cole! Hold my hoops! This bitch is going down!"

        "Not without me, he's not," I struggle out. They both turned and looked at me. Cole was the first one to react. He grabbed my hand and smiled his goofy boyish smile. His other hand grazed my uninjured cheek.

        "I knew you couldn't stay away," he said. I laughed. It sounded weak and hoarse.

        "Percy's back," Sky said suddenly.

        "Back?" I asked. Cole shrugged. Percy walked in and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked at me.

        "What friggin' ass did this?" he asked. I frowned.        

        "We still can't identify who but-" Cole started.

        "Its an old enemy of mine," I said, "I forgot his name, but he was definitly familiar."

        "Could it have been the same people who blew up the Argo ||?" Cole asked.

        "Maybe, possible, quite possible, probably," I said.
