OOC: This is the starter to set the stage. Remember, post 2-3 paragraphs only. Hope you've enjoyed reading this and have fun ^_^ let's get this show on the road :P

On the coast of Athens, there is a Camp where it’s invisible to all mortals. Even if they do see it, they’re not able to cross the protection barrier unless they’re a Demigod, or related to at least one Demigod offspring. Many years before the Camp was founded by Zeus himself, the Demigods went to war with their parents to battle against the enemies they had in common. Many Demigods were lost in battle that day, due to not being trained. They were set onto the battle field with just their powers and wits. Zeus didn’t want to make the same mistake twice, so the Camp came into existence to ensure that every Demigod would be fully trained to their full potential. Their enemies would strike again, there was no question about that.. they were just waiting for their flawless moment with their flawless timing.

Zeus had hope and faith in his offspring’s and in the other Gods offspring’s also. Some of them didn’t want to even put their children through the same fate as before, but they had no choice. The Gods needed the extra power as their enemies grew stronger with the amount of Dark magic they were consuming. They need to win, because if their enemies succeed!? then all of humanity will be lost forever. There will be nothing.

Alex soon woke from her slumber, and glanced to the clock beside her bed. It was slightly hard for her to read the face of it, as her eyes were still adjusting to the daylight. Tap Tap Tap came the sound that echoed lightly through her bedroom door. “I’m up” she called out sleepily, pulling on her pants before slowly nodding off to sleep where she was. She soon jolted awake as she felt herself almost falling off of the bed.

Her mom soon came into the room with a washing basket in her arms, picking up the dirty laundry that Alex had left out on her little white chair for her. “Did you have a good sleep?” she heard her mom ask. She wasn’t going to lie, it wasn’t the best, but at least she managed to get enough. She was going to have to fly out to Athens. She could easily fly herself above the clouds, but if anyone saw her!? then that wouldn’t be good. It would be catastrophic.

“It wasn’t the best, but don’t worry.. I’ve had plenty. Just a little bit tried as I need to wake up. I’ll wash my face with some cold water.” Her mother had been a worrier since the day her precious daughter was born. Alex had the strength of her father with many other traits, just like her brother Ajax. Ajax was already at the camp with him being older than Alex, and he couldn’t wait to see her, he hadn’t seen her for a while.

“Good. I’ve packed all your things into the car with your dads help, and Abel’s. He’ll be driving you to the airport as I need to visit your grandma.” Andrew wasn’t her real father of course, but he had been around a lot more than Zeus, or so she thought at least. Her mother kissed Alex on the cheek in that loving, affectionate motherly way, and hugged her so tight!? that you’d think they were never going to see each other again.

“Mom. I can’t breathe.” she struggled to say, but was only joking. Her mom’s hold on her to loosened up as she smiling.

"Take care of yourself, okay?"
"I always do. Plus AJ will be there."
"Then tell your brother to keep a close eye on you"
"Mom, seriously? I'm old enough to look after myself now."
"I know you are sweetheart." she chuckled before laying a kiss on her daughters head. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."

Her mom left the room then to do the chores that needed to be done around the house, and Alex got ready in no time before heading downstairs to her step-dad and his son.

"You ready, kiddo?"
"Yep, I'm ready." she smiled, and followed Andrew and Abel towards the car.
they were on their way to the airport in no time. If Alex was going to be honest to herself? then she'd say that she was nervous a little, but she'd be okay once settled in.

He made sure he was up early this morning. While waiting for his little sister and the new arrivals to the Camp, he began to help the staff set up the activities that would be taking place for the Demi-Gods to get into training, but right away, they needed to settle in and get their bearings of the place, meet one another. Ajax couldn't wait to see Alex, it had been over a year since he saw her, but now she was old enough to join Camp. He was going to be protective of her, and if anyone tried to hurt her, or upset her? then he would make sure they wouldn't do that to her again.

We're not talking about violence, that isn't tolerated at this camp.. but it doesn't stop him was putting people in their place. Alex had constantly written letters to her big brother, as she was so excited to get there and wanted to know every tiny little detail of the camp. Ajax smiled. His sister had always been the inquisitive one, and also the dreamer.. but AJax had been the level headed, realistic one. He didn't have time to dream about silly things that would never come true. Once the activities done, Ajax headed into the wooden hut that was a hall with a joined Kitchen behind a glass wall where the food was sitting inside it, and tables on the other side with benches. He was starving.

Son of Hermes | "Speech" | Thoughts

Takeo glanced out the window, noting the lack of clouds as the stewardess announced over the intercom that the airplane reached a stable altitude. Now everyone could move freely. That meant the woman in the middle seat could finally go to the bathroom like she'd been gunning to the entire takeoff and the one in the aisle seat (her sister? Or perhaps girlfriend?) would mutter something about her never going to the bathroom at the actual airport. Behind him a child seemed enamored with his game system while his parents were fast asleep. That left him with plenty of time to think and unfortunately, plenty of targets.

He'd thought a lot about why he decided to go to Camp Athens, mainly wondering why his parents were suddenly fine with his odd tendencies or how they weren't offended by his choice to chase after a parent that barely gave him the time of day. He supposed that he was helping his biological father in name only as the camp had more to do with acclimating with his powers than quality father-son time but the fact that Camp Athens probably had other children of Hermes made him curious. Had Hermes treated them similarly or did he give them an actual childhood?

Turning over, he waited for the woman in the aisle to fall asleep before his hands snaked into his seatmate's purse. Even if he didn't have his real father around he at least had some "gifts" to keep him company.

█Alex was finally on the plane that would take her to camp with excitement that swirled inside the pit of her stomach, causing her to feel a little sick. She'd be fine, she just needed to calm down. The first person she wanted to see was her brother, the others she'd meet later or some other time. While sitting in the seat that her ticket had reserved for her during the flight her mother had booked for her, She remained in silence while daydreaming out of the small plane window. It looked like the ground was made out of clouds, but once there was a gap between them, you knew for sure that you were miles up in the air. It would of been an amazing experience for someone who hadn't flown before, but Alex could fly by herself and without the aid of a plane. Her step-brother had gotten Alex to show off her flying skills one night, also promising to never tell a soul. Who would of believed him anyway? probably no-one. They would lock him up from thinking he was crazy if anything.

Everything looked so small, but you could still just about make out the cars that traveled down the roads. Everyone was living a normal, mortal life, with no idea what else was out there in a world they didn't know even existed. Alex's World. She envied them sometimes, because they got to live in a life that was somewhat veiled from danger, the truth.. and Alex had to train with the others to ready themselves for a possible war against common enemies? now don't get it wrong, Alex enjoys a good fight here and there.. but war, blood shed and Chaos? that was more or less more suited to the offspring's of Ares. The God of War. But.. there wasn't enough if they just sent them into battle. Guess you really can say: All is fair during A Game of War.

The flight hadn't lasted too long, so after the plane arrived and everyone got their belongings, Alex was quickly making her way to her destination and arrived there a lot sooner than the plane that had gotten her here in the first place. The camp was exactly like Ajax had described, it was beautiful, spacious, full of different cabins, huts and pathways through the woods and around camp.. and a beautiful lake that huge. Obviously the Poseidon offspring's would have that more than anyone else. She had no idea where her cabin was, and almost bumped into some guy who was walking away with his food on a tray. Least she could find the kitchen at least. The smell that came from the chimney was so delicious. There wasn't too many people inside, but soon as she saw her brother!? Alex dropped her luggage at her feet. "AJ..."

█Ajax was just sat on one of the benches while having a coffee break. He had gotten up early before anyone else to help the staff out for new comers. As he glanced around the kitchen, other camp members were going about their morning. One of Hades's children had collected his food and silently left, but cause others to part like the red sea once they realized who he was. That made Ajax smile a little, because everyone even feared Zeus's children too. A Brunette had joined the kitchen also, and he could tell by her fresh little complexion that she was one of Poseidon's, so he politely smiled and waved back to her.

Then of course Daniel. Ajax wasn't too sure about him, didn't trust him, so there was likely no possibility of them becoming friends anytime soon. Once he said what he did, and placed a hand upon his shoulder, Ajax turned his head slightly to look at it before looking up to Daniel himself. "Always the comedian, Daniel." He placed his coffee onto the table for a moment. "Not that you care, but I'm having a coffee break--" he soon cut off when he heard his name being called, and stood up from where he was sat with his eyes on the entrance. For now, he left Daniel where he was. "Alex!" he rushed over to her and hugged her to him so tightly as she began to cry. They truly had missed each other.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Peaceful

She was about to join Zeus' son when another made his way to her, referring to her as the newbie. Am I that obvious? It made her teeth clench, if just for a second. Judging by the new guy's quick to speak manner, he must be the son of Hecate. The crafty tricksters of the lot. "Daniel, as I presume," she said in a snarky voice. She quickly reigned in her attitude. Being Poseidon's daughter did that to her. Her attitude as ever changing as the current. Before she got a chance to be more polite he was moving on to Ajax. Ajax confirmed her suspicion when he acknowledged the other guy as Daniel.

Not even a minute later, another face was joining the crowd and her and Ajax embraced one another tightly. It was clearly Alexandria, Zeus' other child. Their sibling bond made Viv yearn for a sibling herself. She did wonder why it was that her father never had any other children. It wasn't like the God's to just have one child. They tried to have as many offspring as possible, pass down the blood and have more help around their domain. And at times like these, she wish she had someone to turn to and talk to when she had a problem. For now, she had her friends.

Skirting around the two happily reunited siblings she mentioned, "you guys are lucky to have one another. See you guys around?" And with that she smiled and left the Kitchen. With the warm sun on her skin she felt like it was time to test the water in this area. Feeling giddy at the thought of swimming she started into a jog and then a full on sprint to the lake. Passing by a field, where others were enjoying the outdoors themselves. As she reached her cabin, she quickly ran to her dock, stripped down to her bathing suit underneath her clothes and jumped in. The cool water against her skin exhilarated her and when she came back up for air, which she didn't need, she laughed out loud. Now this was what she needed. Floating on her back, she closed her eyes and let the lake lap around her.

“Oh geez,” he commented to himself, rolling his eyes at his talkative, presumptuous and energetic sister that had pulled him into a hug. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands once released from her arms and let her get out what she needed in complete silence. His eyes fell on the black box, which he received somewhat hesitantly listening to her from there carefully. When he opened it to reveal his special necklace, he couldn’t help but be swarmed with irritability. A simple enchanted object could have prevented murder this whole time. David took in deep breath reviewing on the appropriate way to act in this situation and revealed a smile curling at his lips. “Thank you, Jennova. Good choice,” he added, linking the necklace around his neck right away. Not that his death touch needed to be prevented here.

With his broad body still blocking his doorway into the cabin, looking anything but inviting he wondered how else to pick at conversation with Jennova. She meant well but had unintentionally hit a nerve. “Don’t you think the death touch can come in handy though?” he wondered. Another thought sprung to mind then. “What’d Hades want anyway?”

"Not that you care, but I'm having a coffee break--" Daniel wondered what the cut off were about. Did he really choke for some response? He stared expectantly at Zeus' kid."Alex!" Ajax rushed off causing Daniel's brows to pull together in confusion. That were quite the ADD, he had. When he turned to see what the fuss were about, he relaxed leaning against the table, a content smile on his face. At least to-date Hecate were happy with the one perfect offspring she had produced. But the more he looked at the siblings embracing, his smile transformed to a smirk. Alex, as Ajax had called out, were hot. But siblings needed their moments. So after setting himself up with some food he left the kitchen area.

Along the stretch of clearing were Trinity squatting by the lake's very edge seeming to seek interaction with something out of Daniel's vision. Nonetheless it were all too tempting to just give her that bump over for her to enjoy a swim and cool off. He braced a hand against a tree, biting back the temptation as he observed Ares' daughter look something like a hippy. If she weren't the aggressive type to have him in a choke hold as consequence, he so would.

█While hugging her brother, she noticed that some handsome guy was already looking her up and down from across the kitchen, and she couldn't help herself but smile in his direction. She grabbed her bags at the same time, briefly flirting with him for a moment. "I'll see ya' later, big brother. I want t'find m'cabin" she turned away then, and headed quickly over to one of the other Gods off Springs. Takeo was his name, but Alex didn't know that yet. She caught up with him and walked beside him with her rucksack and luggage. She was excited and enthusiastic while Takeo looked a little lost. "Y'new here too, right? I'm Alex. Maybe we can find our cabins together, huh?" she skipped within her step happily with her hyper nature that had been locked away for some time. Now she was free to let it all out without being afraid of hurting anyone if her powers lashed out by accident.

She had always wanted to know what it was like to be at summer camp with other Demigods, and here she was. To top it up to the best holiday ever though, was that dark haired hot guy she saw not too long ago. She'd have to meet him, get to know him, talk to him. She just had to. Aj probably wouldn't like her being around him or anyone for that matter, but she was old enough now to make her own choices without him. She wasn't here to just get hooked up though, she wanted to make friends with everyone that wanted to know her, and just hang, have a good time and even bend the rules a little.

█He glanced over his shoulder and shot Daniel a warning glare, then brought his attention back to Alex. "Try and stay outta trouble, alright? - you just got here." he stood there for a moment as he watched his sister, a smile on his face with how happy he was to finally have her around. He knew he had his work cut out for him now, but trusted Alex to be mature and sensible, especially since they both had sense of morality from their father Zeus.

Ajax wandered off to take a stroll around camp, just to keep an eye on things with everyone else until the staff got here from the lodge that was high up in the mountains. Daniel was no doubt tormenting the girls at the lake, while others were just going about their morning and happily getting to know everyone in their own time. Some girls passed Ajax with a smile and giggling as they whispered to each other about him, causing him to chuckle and shake his head. He didn't mind the attention he got for being Zeus's son, but he didn't want all the lime light. Zeus's children were known to be show offs, short to temper etc, but not Ajax.. he happened to be pretty laid back.

For many centuries it had been quiet among the skies of Gods, but that was about to change. The Gods were patiently watching over their children, making sure that they were safe within the camp they built with their own powers to protect them inside its invisible barriers. But for how long?

All the Gods knew that time was weakening, that the past was about to repeat itself. It wouldn't be long now until the Titans reign down upon the Mortal Earth, with their lust for violence unstoppable. Athena was the first to approach Zeus, the others remaining in the background. "Are we at war, father?" she asked, a hint of hope in the back of her throat, hope for that it wasn't true. She didn't want to go to war, there had been peace for such a long time.. but it was inevitable. Zeus didn't know how to respond to a question she more than likely knew the answer to already.

Poseidon on the other hand, he was hoping the war would be closer than it already was beginning to get. He was itching to get back into the swing of things, and to put his enemies within their rightful place. He glanced over to Athena and give a smirk as he turned his head away, his attention back on the Demigods below. He was proud of his daughter so far. Their children were going to perfectly live up to who they were destined to be..

W a r r i o r s.

"I think you already know the answer to that, Athena." of course Ares had to step in. Out of everyone in Olympus, Ares was the main God to want war again, because his own thirst for blood and violence was all he wanted. Sometimes he would get out of control, but it wasn't anything that Zeus could not handle. "I thought you were the wise, intelligent one? - Hmm..." he paused for a moment, smirking. "You're not so perfect after all." Athena stepped towards him, ready to teach him to watch his tongue, but Zeus had stepped in between them, to stop their silly bickering between their own.

"ENOUGH!" he shouted, causing his deep and powerful voice to rumble through the skies like thunder. It would be heard on Earth no doubt. He turned himself around to face them. "Don't you see that this is what they want? that this is their way to get us to break, to give them an advantage? those children down there, OUR children, need us. If we break!? so do they. They cannot fight this war alone." Zeus was right, the Demigods needed all the help they could get. "We will not intervene until it is necessary. Break these rules!? and you will be punished."

Athena didn't say another word, but she glared towards Ares who had bowed his head to Zeus, his eyes on the floor as Zeus wandered off up the marble steps towards the Colosseum. Poseidon glanced to Zeus, then let out a sigh before going back to watching the children. He was making sure that nothing was missed.

█She soon found her cabin, but before making her way up to it? the sky rumbled, causing her to look up towards the clouds. "Father.." She whispered quietly to herself. She knew he was there, and she could sense the anger that rolled through the skies. Alex knew that what ever the issue was up there in Olympus, her Father had it all under control. With a smile, Alex crouched a little before shooting off from the ground, and landed on the porch of her temporary home. Ajax was living next door to her, so he wasn't far if she needed him. This was going to be amazing. She'd be able to decorate this place to her own tastes, and for once have privacy and her own bathroom. Back at home she did have an en-suite bathroom, but it sat in the middle of her bedroom and Ajax's. They had to share. That was a rush in a morning, especially if Alex was in there first.

"Come on, Al, I need to use the bathroom too." She remembered her brother saying behind the locked door, knocking on it too as she dried herself off with her towel, then slung her bathrobe on herself. "I'll be out in a second. I promise." She chuckled when she heard her brother sigh, then his footsteps heading away from the door. They had amazing memories together, and funny ones. Her life wouldn't be the same without him.

█Ajax looked over to the lake, his eyes resting on three heads which were Viviane, Trinity and Daniel. The girls didn't look like they needed saving, so the elder Valis Sibling went on his way. He was heading to the main building on the camp. The staff were in setting up what they needed to, and to organize which demigod wanted to take part in which activities. Ajax wanted something dangerous and wild, because like his sister; he was a dare devil. You only live once after all.

The speakers around the camp screeched to life, causing Ajax to screw up his face slightly as he winced from the pain that sound echoed in his ears. "All members of Camp Athens, please report to the main hall, immediately." the speakers buzzed one more time before Ajax kept walking to the place he was already heading to in the first place. Hopefully his sister wouldn't get side tracked, and actually get her ass there on time. He took a seat on the back row of chairs, waiting patiently for others to enter the room, but keeping a spot free for Alex, and also a couple of his friends who were the offspring's of various Gods. "So your sister made it, Huh?" one of them asked. "Yeah. She'll be here shortly. Hopefully."

He glared off at the speakers emerging from the distance, requesting all students meet up at the hall. Just when he were going to make his own activity too. He traveled to the main hall nonetheless, parting from the girls and meeting with the stroppy David. "That's a nice necklace," he commented, intrigued with the new artifact. He spotted Ajax, and few other bodies in the hall already but none he took particular interest to. Where was that smoking girl? Alex...

Daniel eased into his seat but soon twisted his body around to face Ajax. "Where's your sister?" he wondered, his brows pulling together, perhaps looking as though it expressed genuine concern for the new body on campus. Of course there were a few good lookers present but it were always the toughest one to get, he were most intrigued in. "Is she single by the way?" he stirred and smirked.

He fiddled briefly with his new gift. Hearing Hades recent plan about trying to overthrow Zeus sent a familiar business like manner in him. David loved his father, somehow, and certainly respected the God but Jennova were so willing to throw it back in his face. And somehow she were the favorite. Just as well David weren't the kind to try too hard for Hades approval. For now, he too shrugged it off. He didn't need that kind of heat charging at him, especially at this camp with so many students of a black and white perspective and offspringing from Zeus and his closer family.

Cueing for movement came the announcement in which Daniel met up with him. Now Daniel put him at ease. He weren't so black and white, in fact inclined towards a little dark side. He grabbed himself a seat at the hall waiting for them to spit whatever introduction at them and be on with his business. David glanced down to his chest and nodded in acknowledgement. "From my sister. Death touch preventer," he informed Daniel briefly. But he were a hard man to keep preoccupied. His view were shifting around the room until he faced Zeus' son, inquiring on his sister's whereabouts. He smiled a little and shifted in his seat to witness the exchange.

█Alex had always loved a good challenge and opportunities to bend the rules a little, whether it be her brothers rules, or the camps rules. After settling in to her cabin, she unpacked and headed out for a stroll by herself, just to get her bearings of her new home for the entire summer. The forest was a good place to start. Luckily she had decided to wear her black hi-top combat army boots, because the ground was a bit muddy and wet from the rain earlier. That Earthy wet smell was the best smell on Earth to her. Everything made her appreciate life itself, how much she truly loves the outdoors, and how lucky she is to be who she is. Ten minutes had gone by, the announcement to gather in the hall was heard; and Alex just carried on to enjoy her walk until she stopped within her tracks. Someone else was there.

She headed over the small brow of the bank in-front of her, then stood there as her eyes looked down to one of the other Demigods attending the camp. "Are you lost?" she asked him. He looked up at her and smiled. "Not anymore." Alex smiled too before making her way down the bank to him, causing him to catch her before she slipped. While looking at him, she thought he was actually alright looking. It wouldn't harm Anyone if she just kissed him once, right? "Thank you." she said quietly, then cupped the side of his neck as she leaned in, pressing her lips to his. It was a shock to him, he wasn't going to lie. He had only stopped her from slipping. Anyway.. he didn't pull away. He kissed her back.

█Ajax let out an annoyed sigh as Daniel spoke to him again, but this time about his sister. He turned his head towards the unwanted company, his eyes glaring at him, and to David who was finding it all too amusing. Ajax didn't find it amusing one bit, his temper didn't boil to it's max, but his short fuse was now deliberately lit. "I swear to all the Gods, I'll shove my foot so far up your ass that your grand kids will be able to feel it--" He cut off from his rage and glanced to the clock. His sister was late. "--yeah.. where is she..." with that, he took off out of the hall and headed towards where he saw her last, but soon as he heard giggling coming from the woods, Ajax headed in that direction.

He pushed past a couple of his leaves, and froze on the spot with his face displaying all kinds of thoughts as he looked at his sister, then the random guy that was actually one of his friends. Alex got up from sitting on the guys lap as he looked smug about the whole situation before Ajax grabbed his sister by the elbow. "I'll deal with you later, Adam." he then pulled his sister with him. "what the hell do think you're playing at, huh?" "I don't need protecting!" Ajax lost his creep on her when she pulled away from him, put they both faced each other, right in the middle of the camp while arguing back and forth."Yes, you do! It's my responsibility as your big brother to protect you! - If something happens to you? do you honestly think I'd be able to forgive myself? "I'm not a kid anymore! You can't protect me from everything, AJ! - You can't keep everyone away from me! Adam.. you want to join me at the lake?" she smirked. "Don't even think about it." he warned without looking at him, only pointing towards him whilst keeping his eyes on his little sister. "UGH!"Alex then stormed off, barging into someones shoulder by accident and headed towards the lake for a swim. She needed to cool off. Ajax sighed and watched her head off in her tantrum, but he left her for now to cool off. He then glanced to Adam who walked past with a smirk on his face, causing Ajax to give him the deadliest look ever. "You better stay away from me for the next hour or so." he warned again. Adam knew he was serious, so he kept his mouth shut.

Andy had a feeling she was probably late as the cab pulled up to the entrance. She grabbed her backpack from beside her on the seat as she slipped out the door, before giving the driver money. Once he drove off, Andy looked over at Serena who traveled the whole way here with her to make sure she got to the camp in one piece. "I don't see why you insisted so much on coming with me... It's not like you can do anything if I were in real danger anyways."

Serena's chuckle echoed and rang softly like it was spoken in a tunnel,"I could make a haze or something for a minute while you run away?" Her grin was very unconvincing.

Andy couldn't help but smile, even though she wasn't very happy to leave her home to come here, her friends could always cheer her up. "As far as I've noticed no one besides children of Hecate or Hades can see ghosts... so good luck with that." Andy sighed as she looked towards the entrance of camp. "I'm pretty sure the magical borders around camp wouldn't let you pass even if you wanted to... Plus I'm sure you probably should get back to the underworld." Serena waved her transparent hand, and waved good-bye before disappearing into thin air. Just as Serena vanished, Andy heard the announcement for all campers to go to the main hall. With a sigh, she heaved her backpack over her right shoulder and headed towards the entrance.

By the time she got to the large opening in the center of the camp, most of the campers must have already been in the main hall aside from the 2 she saw flying around, the others with them on the ground and the pair nearest to her which just finished an argument. She assumed they were siblings because they looked a lot a like and she didn't know others to fight like that other than siblings. She hesitated, and once the argument ended and the girl walked away, Andy slowly walked over towards the one she over heard called Ajax? Or something like that. Either way, she thought he looked like he knew his way around here and she was so utterly new... and lost.

Andy cleared her throat as she neared Ajax, "Excuse me," Once she got his attention she sheepishly moved in his line of sight. "I don't mean to interrupt at a bad time or anything..." She brushed back her auburn hair with her right hand, slightly embarrassed to have to ask for help, "You just look like you know your way around here. And, well, I'm so lost... All I know is there is some meeting or something in the main hall?" She shook her head at her own confusion."Do you mind showing me where in the hell that is? Andy couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Daniel's tongue pressed to his cheek, trying to cover the smirk that dominated his features as Ajax marched off to retrieve his sister in wonder. Compelled by the thought of a show, he followed, keeping a distance from the quick tempered Zeus offspring. He halted as Ajax did, his body turning somewhat rigid and he stared expectantly. Daniel watched the exchange and cocked his head watching Alex storm off in a tantrum and getting bumped in the process, standing closer than he expected to the action. He opened his mouth, mouthing an "ow" and rubbed his shoulder. That was one angry woman.

But Adam. Adam!? He eyed the guy not seeing the appeal of a make out session in the bush with him. His phone buzzed indicating a call and he answered returning his gaze on Alex, watching her head to the lake then glancing over his shoulder self-consciously with the big bro still around but he were preoccupied with new blood. He spun on his heel the new blood. She felt...familiar. Or like he should know her. "Yeah?" "Can you project here?" He were surprised to hear Delilah's voice on the other end. "What? No." "I know you're a warlock. Mummy said she wants to put me in a special school far away. She said I'll be safer there and I could meet other kids like me." She began to sob on the other end of the phone. Daniel sighed out gently and rolled his eyes. Where did this kid even hear warlock? "I go to a special school. Is this because you can't make friends? Because I'll tell you something, that Amy was a bitch. What about daddy,hm? What's Daddy have to say?" His gentle higher voice were coming out as he started to pace. "She thinks you're dangerous and daddy loves you too much to see it. She thinks I'm evil too and that bad people will come for us." "Sweety, she's not gonna take you anywhere you don't want to go. And tell her, if she thinks you're like me then she weren't even the woman that had to push you ou...." he cut off remembering his audience. "You'll be fine." He hung up.

The brat were gifted in many ways, none of which provided demi-god blood. People just had a soft spot for her so she'd be fine. He returned to the hall and sat next to David. "Sisters, huh?"
David replied with his brows raised and craned his head around the room, noticing the absence of Jennova. "Pretty much," he agreed.

█Alex was pushing her brother just a little bit far today, but she knew where to draw the line. She wasn't doing it to annoy him, it was merely just to enjoy a life of freedom without so many rules. Back at their home their mother was quite strict over her daughter, but it was for her own safety. Ajax would educate her about the types of people there was in the world, and also; that, not everything was as beautiful as the butterflies that she loved to chase. When she was younger, there was a time that she'd wander off course just to follow a butterfly that was fluttering softly across the meadow's flower petals. You couldn't turn your back on her for one second. Alex watched the new girl approach her brother before turning her attention to the lake, and diving in perfectly. She wasn't going to go to the stupid meeting, because she already knew what she wanted. The only thing that she had wished at that moment, was that Daniel and the others hadn't of seen her in such a rage. While swimming around in the fresh water, she daydreamed about Daniel Vadas. His dark hair, his piercing gorgeous eyes, his attractive personality. To top all of his Godliness off!? - he had heart wrenching, extraordinary, kissable looking lips. Good job her big brother didn't have the ability to read minds, because she'd always be in trouble.

Ajax looked away from his sister and Daniel, then turned his attention towards the female who had approached him. He could tell straight away that she was new. "I'll walk with you. I'm heading back that way myself." he smiled to her gently before he motioned his head in the direction that he began to lead her in. "Are you okay with your luggage or.. would you like me to help you carry some?" It was rare that Ajax would be helpful while feeling annoyed or angry, because in other circumstances he would of ignored the new girl and wandered off in the other direction, but he couldn't really avoid it as he needed to go to the hall. Once he got there, he looked around at the others before taking a seat.

The Camps staff members wandered into the room next, and stood at the very front to talk about what activities would be taking place on camp, and that the Demigods could attend any of them at any time. They also went on about the dorms, where they were located and where to also go if there's ever an emergency or threat among the camp, which was out in the middle of the lake in boats. Ajax sucked in his bottom lip, biting on it slightly as he glanced around for his sister. Clearly she didn't want to come, so he'd have to fill her in on the details. Just as the staff had finished talking, there was a low rumbling sound outside. "What was that?" Ajax called out over the silence as he stood up from where he was sat. All that could be heard after Ajax spoke, was the ground shaking!? it definitely wasn't a good sign, because even the staff were on edge. They looked like they were about to fight. "Alex!" he remembered in a panic. She was still out there. Alone.

The earth started to shake, and everyone around him started to go into panic, he watched as everyone but a few ran outside to grab weapons, and try to fight off whatever was coming their way. He tried to stay calm as he walked outside to figure out what it was, he went to the armory, that was next door, as did most of the other students. He grabbed a two handed weapon, he forgot the name of it as he waited for whatever it was to show it's self. The blades on both ends were sharp, anything that came into contact with this blade would not be able to leave without a few hundred deep cuts.

Jennova heard the ground shake, she jumped, realizing that everyone else could feel it. And it wasn't just her father calling her again. She looked up to find David, and then watched as everyone ran outside, she took this chance and walked through everyone trying to get out, she took a side door and ran into the woods, rather than going to the armory with everyone else she deicded it was better to go see her father and figure out if this was his doing or what. The ground shook for a second time, more violently then the second, causing Jennova to trip over her own feet and land into some girl, her wooden eye balls smashing into the floor and causing the starting of the way to the underworld. Jennova crused outloud, too close to someone else, could cause that person to go into the underworld with her. She looked up, opening it was someone she knew, but it wasn't. It was some random girl she had never met before.

"Alex!" Ajax called from a distance. Jennova slapped her forehead. "No no no no. Your not Alex, no. Run just run before your sucked into the underworld. THe last thing i need is explaining to my dad-" Jennova was cut off as she was sucked into the portal. She prayed that Alex got away, or that Ajax pulled her out or maybe some random guy was walking by and caused an off balance in the portal and she was the only one getting stucked through.

Jennova hit the ground hard on her side. She laid there for a moment, before trying to stand up. She could hear the souls of the underworld moaning, and Cerebus not too far growling at something. Jennova rubbed her hip as she stood up, looking around for the damn boat to take her over to Cerebus. When she couldn't find it she screamed [color=red] "CEREBUS!" A few moments later, her three headed over grown dog came running through the river of souls, she greeted him before realizing she wasn't alone. She was afraid to turn around to figure out who had popped up in the underworld with her.

Alex had just climbed out of the water after swimming a couple of laps to an imaginary line, and then back again. No one in Camp was wandering around, so obviously they were still at that meeting, or whatever you want to call it. Either way, Alex thought it would be a waste of time because they always were at school. While dripping wet, she headed in the direction of her cabin with needing a towel to dry herself off with. She had her clothes with her hanging over her arm with not being able to put them back on yet, and just began to stroll through the camps forest where her cabin was located. Alex hadn't even gotten to the base of the cabins tree until she was knocked down to the ground, her face almost coming into close contact with the dirt. "What the hell!" she angrily called out, curling her fingers into the soil slightly, and turning her head sharply to see her random attacker. "Jennova?" a puzzled look was on her face, but at the sight of some portal appearing, Alex wasn't sure how to react until she was told to run. She didn't fancy getting sucked into where ever that thing was going. It swirled around like crazy as it began to slowly suck the air in around it, and she could even feel it beginning to pull herself with it. "No no no." Alex cried out, and quickly scrabbled to her feet to run like she was told. Just as she got near to one of the trees, she tripped, and began to claw at the earth frantically with trying to grab hold of something. Anything. She couldn't see much though with her long dark hair getting in the way.

Ajax paid no attention to the others right now, he just wanted to find his little sister. He rushed outside once pushing his way through everyone else who were ready to battle what was on it's way towards the camp, and ran towards the lake where he last saw Alex. When he got there, he came to an abrupt stop, and frantically looked around for her. "Alex!" He yelled out, and again, just encase she hadn't heard him the first time. Towards the woods he heard a scream, and he recognized it straight away. Without hesitation, and without thinking; Ajax ran in the direction where the screaming was coming from. It was definitely his sister. "Hold on, Al, I'm coming!" he felt sick in the pit of his stomach, and his heart was racing ten to a dozen. You shouldn't of left her you idiot.

Seeing Alex trying to hold on from being sucked into a portal, Ajax quickly ran towards her as she slipped off the branch she was holding onto, and dived for her, knocking her out of the way. He had been sucked into that thing himself for saving Alex, but at least the thing now closed after him. Alex couldn't believe it, not only had her brother disappeared to God knows where, a Minotaur was charging straight towards the Demi-God camp. "I hope you'll be okay, brother." Alex got up off of the ground quickly again, and ran towards the threat of the camp. Maybe she could slow it down with her lightning bolts. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" she warned the others as her hands began to glow, and spark. She was charging up as much electricity as she could to hit that thing. Hopefully it would work, and not piss it off even more.

Once everyone was safely out of the way, Alex shot her charged bolts at it, causing a loud crackling sound as the electricity shot across the camp, and hitting the Minotaur in the side, causing it to slide against the ground from the impact Alex had hit it with. She flew towards it next after kicking off from the ground, hands charging up again as it tried to pull itself to its feet. It's eyes were glowing red, and smoke was bellowing out of it's nostrils like a raged bull. Alex had accidentally pissed it off. With one swipe of it's large bull size head as Alex flew closer to it at lightning speed, it's horns smacked into her rib cage, sending her flying into the closest tree, and making its way towards the others again as Alex tried to get the air back into her lungs that was knocked out of her. She was coughing and spluttering, trying to get back up.

{Clara Tollera}

Clara held her breath as she aimed the arrow, breathed out slowly and let the arrow fly. It sword straight into the minotaur's eye and caused it to stumble and falter in it's charge. But only for a moment, luckily that gave Alex enough time to get out of it's way. Clara smiled when Alex gave her a nod in recognition. Quickly Clara shifted her focus back to the Minotaur, who had ripped the arrow from it's eye and was now looking for the one who had shot it. Suddenly Clara felt a strange sensation in her fingers and toes, like they had fallen asleep, she looked up just as the Minotaur was about to grab her. Clara blinked and when she opened her eyes she was somewhere else. She looked up and saw someone standing in front of her, someone with wings.
Clara was confused but shook her head, she would worry about what had just happened later.
"Hey flyboy! Feel like giving me a lift?" She smirked at Adrian as she drew a new arrow and fitted it to her quiver. If she could shoot the Minotaur in the other eye it would be easer to take down.

{Toby Parker}

Toby had grabbed a few other campers that were holding spears and they had devised a plan to, hopefully, run the beast out of the camp. They took up positions in the trees and on the ground and Toby had made the tips of their spears red hot.
"TREES!" He yelled, and a swarm of red hot spears flew at the Minotaur. Quickly more spears were thrown up to those in the trees.
"GROUND! Toby yelled again and another mob of spears sword through the air. With every strike it drove the beast back closer and closer to the gates. It had also been a huge help that Clara and Adrian had blinded the thing so it couldn't attack anyone else.

Noticing the son of Hades absent from the action and hectic event on campus, Daniel decided likewise to hang somewhat back. David should’ve been revelling in the unexpected turn of events and beast before them. Daniel was under the influence, though, he’s almost certain in theorizing that Hade’s kids have the unofficial ability to sense death before it happens. Besides, if anyone knew death it’d be Hade’s kids. They came hand in hand that often.

When the new girl, Alex came charging in, playing hero like her father, initially, he thought he’d like to deal with the beast in an excruciating matter for making quick work of her but then again for her hot-headedness….
“Is it just me or were that overly pleasing to see Zeus’ kid get knocked on her ass?”
“Oh, it’s pleasing,” David confirmed. Then again, he had an inherited dislike to Zeus. “Is this one of yours by the way?” he added.
“What? No! Can’t you actually tame beasts or something?” He looked on to the warfield and mess of a battle. Arrows and spears flying, the other new girl latched on it’s back and going for a rough, unpleasant ride. Hecate help her with her guts and everyone else firing their weapons still. He smirked a little. Though it was cool. He quickly shifted a mid air spear off course, glaring around to see the responsible thrower who so cockily thought they had superb accuracy to hit the bull and not the girl at all, who were involved in a wrestle with it.

Hearing coughs and splatters, Daniel looked to Alex who persistently tried to climb to her feet and re-engage in fight. He approached her. "You okay?"

David casually shrugged, his eyes locked on the action ahead. They had all managed to push it back as it was, so there were no need to be ancy. Besides, he weren’t particularly keen on the horns making short work of him and idiotic acquaintances firing at him when he neared the aggravated beast, attempting to get the current girl off it. And half blind.
“I could try, if someone held it down,” he guessed. Accusingly, his eyes drifted to Ares’ daughter. She made a big hoo-ha of her strength and endurance and now would’ve been her time to shine and assist. Everyone else had been so hasty in making moves, the blonde didn't get a chance, even at the front line.

His sympathy actually somewhat lay with the creature. Blind, stabbed and zapped that many times. He'd definitely be helping the creature if he could. David glanced to the sky. "Daniel, keep Romeo and Juliet away from it." He referred to Adrian and Clara. If that thing retreated with no eyes there'd be the Underworld to pay. He saw Zeus kid but did not acknowledge her as part of his own plan. She'd probably do what she wanted anyway.

He nudged Trinity in the back gently with his arm. "It's not right is it?" he said by her ear. "All this ganging up. There's no honor, no skill involved. If you help pin it, I can probably tame it."

The pair were heading for a crash landing into the lake and with a swift head gesture to Ares daughter, David paced towards the lake. Was he really about to help everyone? No...he were helping the Minotaur, he reminded himself. He halted though momentarily recognizing the girl as a bad ass who had found her own control over the creature. "Yo! Steer it back here!" he called.

“MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!”
She dived out of the way of the volts which she exhaled with a breath of relief. That were the second close call of the day and she were growing more and more grateful for her superior reflexes. She rolled away at the charge from the minotaur and landed in a crouch before the others started sending it back. Trinity slowly rose to her feet and watched the creature attack and defend, staring on in a calculating state. There were no use in bombarding every stream of power or weapon you had. And for one foe, there should have been a finer strategy involved to get a quicker outcome they wanted. These were the little details she picked up on from the distance so this war stimulation were still productive.

Trinity watched the girl whose wrist she had taken a firm hold of from before wrestle for control of the beast. “Damn. Wish I had thought of that,” she muttered. There were strategy about her and skill that Trinity could come to admire. Even though it may not have been entirely planned.

When David casually approached as he did, she thought about his words. The beast had stormed their camp calling for a fight but it were equally as true that there were no skill involved at the present time. She pressed her tongue to her cheek in annoyance yet nodded. It didn’t matter how much she craved a fight, she could find it some other day. David fearlessly walked on, closing some distance to the raging beast and the girl while weapons were still hot and arrows still being aimed. She assumed, with such confidence he must have someone covering him. "Hold your fire!" Trinity jogged to catch up and halted the same as David. “Steer it back here!” She looked bewildered at his lack of registration. Minotaurs were furious, strong beasts. They were not like a horse that could simply be pulled at the reins and re-directed.
That’s when she knew, she were more reinforcement if the girl lost the creature and extra weight for it to have to fight against so David could try and tame the bull. It must’ve been an ability that could only be executed at physical contact and he had no intentions of being torn open by the horns of the great creature.

Though, she couldn’t help but wonder what would be of the beast and girl if she continued driving it right into the lake. A fierce underwater battle? Though, David seemed to not wish the thing further harm or drowning, Trinity would defend fellow demi-gods first or severely injure it, if it persisted in it’s harmful attempts. Of course she preferred to keep her word and just pin it.

Adrian glanced at the daughter of ares, she seemed to be glaring at him for some reason. He looked down at his blade, noticing blood. However he didn't feel it was nice to glare at him. As she walked away, Adrian sent her glares right back, however next time she fell asleep this daughter of ares would be dreaming about having sexual desires with Adrian. He smiled to himself, looking at Clara as she called him flyboy. He frowned, but dropped his weapon and picked her up by her waist. Flying her as high as he could. He looked around for Toby and Jenn, Toby was being an idiot like always and Jenn was no where to be seen.

Jennova half smiled as she looked at Ajax, just getting up from what could have been a bad landing. Jennova waited til Ajax looked at her and sighed. "I'm so sorry. I was walking away from everyone so I could start the portal, but another shake from the earth came, and I fell into your sister. The eyeballs fell out of my hand and it triggered the portal to open." Cerebus fell into the small island they were on. Bowing down, as if to let the two ontop of him. "Bringing the son of Zeus here is forbidden. Once we get to the portal that sends you back, I need you to hide if Hades comes to speak to me. Anything you hear, we can talk about later." She told him before climbing on Cerebus and offering a hand to Ajax. "Don't worry about Alex, if she's anything like you. She will be fine, as will everyone else at camp."

The Gods had been watching their children since their arrival at the Camp, and the second a Minotaur wandered in, Athena was the first to address the others. Despite the situation, and the actions that the Demigods took, the Gods remained calm, especially Athena who was the Goddess of Wisdom. "Their Strategies will prevail." of course Athena was confident, she got that trait from her father. "I don't think it is necessary for us to step in at this moment." of course she was right, because there was no real danger as of yet. Some of the children were working together, some were a little out of hand, but their hearts were in the right place, and Zeus's daughter had merely acted upon impulse. It was definitely the type of move that Zeus would make, but he would not be so reckless. Still.. Alex was young, and she had much to learn before the war. All of them did. "Just watch, and see. That beast will be tamed." The other Gods didn't like how sure of things she was all the time, she never doubted anything.

"I hope you're right, Athena, because if we stick around and my daughter gets hurts? then you shall be the one I blame for your mistake." Poseidon promised her. His daughter was the only one who was important to him. Time and time again he'd go to the Camps lake without her noticing him, just so he could watch her be the little girl he once held in his arms; except this time.. she was much bigger. She reminded him so much of her mother, the human he had fallen to love at that very moment. The second his eyes got to see his daughter, he fell in love with her instantly before he had to say goodbye, just like the other Gods with their offspring's.

By the look on Zeus's ace, he wasn't sure what he wanted to do. He trusted Athena's wisdom, because that was her specialty, including strategy of war. "We will wait.." Zeus confirmed. "If the Children cannot handle one simple Minotaur as a group, then the war is going to impossible for them to win. They need to do this alone, even if they get hurt.." Poseidon didn't want to stand around just like the others didn't, but Zeus was their King, and his words were final. The Children were alone on this one.

Hecate hated how Zeus ruled sometimes, and she was probably the only one who could see right through him. He would put on the tough act in-front of every God that stood on the top of Mount Olympus, ruling the skies. But Hecate knew he was afraid just like the rest of them. He was afraid of something happening to all of the children, but mainly afraid for his own. "And what of Ajax? should he trust that daughter of our enemy? you know that Hades has wanted to rule for many decades. One of us should prepare to save him." But who was willing to leave their post to rescue the son of Zeus?

Clara noticed what was going on, they were steering. Quickly Adrian put her down and Clara ran for Toby.
"Stop they are trying to tame it!" She said quickly as she pushed his spear down. When he got the others to stop Clara then made a B-line for Trinity. She held back out of the minotaur's sight just in case it decided to go rouge and try to get back up. Clara aimed her bow at the soft spots at the backs of its knees and held her arrow.

{Toby Parker}

After Clara told Toby what the others were trying to do he fallowed her lead and stopped firing on the minotaur.
"I hope they know what they are doing..." He said under his breath as he told the others that had been firing on it to stand down.
"Just in case be ready to fire." He said as they all gathered around him. They dispersed and hid in the foliage surrounding the poor beast.

“I REALLY hope you know what you’re doing!”
At her somewhat frustrated yell, he couldn’t help but smile a little. Not a clue, actually, he replied in his head. This plan was utter lunacy and he didn’t even know if it would work. But it were worth a shot for he did not wish ill on the minotaur and he were surprised he had managed to convince a few on his approach instead. He weren’t going to let that effort go to sudden waste, even when the eye of the minotaur seemed to lock on him with a desire to kill. Yes, the beast were definitely aggravated, understandably.

David backed up slowly, needing more room before he inevitably met the bull’s tough horns before Trinity ran forth, doing the job David had intended for her. Another assuring wave of attack and defense before the minotaur could reach him. He watched the girls scramble for control of the situation, but he would not participate until the head was in a trustable pinned state. That’s where he needed to make the connection but also where the greatest weapons of the bull were. The brunette had managed to take care of that though and he stepped forward crouching by it. David pressed his hand to the creature’s forehead, a light emanating between the two, then he slowly withdrew his hand eyeing the creature that blinked with a new mind set. “It’s okay,” he told the girls with a confirming nod.

For a chick that looked like and had been through hell, he found it gutsy for her to still be barking orders like her old man.Though he drew that it was probably just habit and for the better of all the demi-gods present. Daniel left her side for she didn't need to feel patronized and he observed the battle instead. Regrettably, next to someone further detached from reality than him, mocking a rating of the brunette's landing. He folded his arms over his chest, watching intently before David backed off, giving a sign that the situation was under control. To Hades' standards anyway. Daniel blew out his lips with little relief then looked to the late comer, fiddling with some knives. "Who, even are you?" he asked, his brows furrowing in light confusion. Then again, worried if he met this guy, he'd become liable for him somehow in some fruitty situation.

Daniel turned his back and walked away from the recent battlefield. That were some serious teamwork which felt kinda good. And all up, an eventful orientation to Camp Athens. But he noticed something else was missing for his day ahead. His recent favorite torment buddy. A guy who should've been right in the middle of battle, ordering everyone around with his authority voice. Where's Ajax? He paused like an animal, and looked around.

Adrian felt useless as he watched everything that played out in front of him. He didn't have any special powers, or abilities to tame monsters, or even that well of fighting instincts. All Adrian knew how to do was play guitar and fly. As he watched the daughter of Zeus get up and scream about a girl on the back of the beast he looked, he hadn't even realized that there was a girl riding on the beast. Adrian sighed, maybe, just maybe if he played his cards right he could sneak up and grab the girl from ontop of the beast. He flew up in the air as Clara ran to try to help. He studied the beast, he could see this girl was strapped on by a rope, He looked on the ground for some kind of blade, he saw a guy(Wesley) that looked as if he just joined the party, he had just picked up two.

Adrian didn't have to think twice as he flew by the kid and took one of the blades out of his hands and flew around the beast, when the others had the beasts eyes straight on them he flew down, cutting the girl free and wrapping his arm around her waist. He quickly flew away, but not in time as a horn came at him, going straight through his right wing, he cried out in pain and threw the girl as far away as he could. Adrian could have planned this out better, but he just wanted to help. He was now trying to push the horn out of his wing, after the beast shook it's head Adrian fell off. He rolled around in pain dodging the hoofs of this thing before someone wrapped him by his shirt and dragged him out from under the thing. He thanked whoever it was and didn't even look at them as he moved out of the way so the other godly children could get back to taming this thing.

Jennova retracked her hand, after it was looked at like it was trash and denied. She rubbed her hands on her thighs as she bit her lip nervously, the longer they stayed in here the longer she had to be reminded of the person she was supposed to be, the person that everyone thought of her as. "Those are souls, if you try to step in it, you will die. Cerebus is my pet, he won't hurt you unless I tell him too. If you want to swim in the souls of the dead be my guest, but don't say I never tried to help." She rolled her eyes at his next statement and sighed, calming herself down. "How can you trust me? Seriously? Well first of all, you have no choice. And second, I'm not the fucking bad guy here. I'm so sorry my father is evil, we can't pick our godly parents. If I could I would have chose someone who isn't looked at as the bad guy." She waved her hand at him and started to climb onto Cerebus's back, where she slid down his neck and sat there. "I'm not going to do anything close to turning you over to my father. All he'd do is throw you into the river of souls anyways. So stop being a pussy and let's go." Jennova told him as she was losing her patience. Some fucking hero this guy is, afraid of Cerebus? Wow. Afraid of the underworld? Afraid period. Jennova thought to herself before she muttered something in Russian under her breath followed by starring at the son of Zeus.

She was missing her big brother so much, and where ever he was, she was praying internally to the Gods to keep him safe, and to bring him back to her. Jennova shouldn't of even been anywhere near the lake, she didn't even have any business to be there if she was heading to where ever it was that portal was going. Alex then frowned as she looked around at the others. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion, and every sound around her seemed slightly muffled. The monster was being tamed by Hades's son, a new guy had turned up, and everyone else was just doing their own thing. Not everyone could be the hero, and Alex was glad that no-one else really got hurt apart from herself, and Adrian. Clearly they both took one for the team. Alex slipped through the crowd now the Minotaur was under control, and headed through the camp.

If Jennova hurts my brother, I swear she'll learn the wrath of Zeus through me. She thought to herself while cleaning up at one of the public sinks outside the girls shower room. She knew Ajax was a big boy, and he could handle himself, but she still worried about him, even if he was never afraid of anything like herself. How would an offspring of Zeus be weak and afraid? it wasn't in them to be that way. She was in her own little world now, daydreaming of the days when her brother used to play games with her, and the boxes they would use to pretend they were living in a castle whilst defending it from enemies. Her brother always had fun ideas, and every time she got sick!? he'd carry her to bed, make her some chicken soup, then they'd sit in bed together watching movies until Alex fell asleep.

The mouth she had on her. He felt like telling her to go fuck herself, and that he'd find his own way out of the hell hole, but he knew that was going to be damn impossible. He was far from a pussy. Nothing scared him. Bitch was annoyed just because he didn't want to get on the ugly mutt? and because he didn't trust her? Ajax never trusted others, only his sister. Clearly she took it personal. Did he care!? not really, he only cared about where she had mistaken his worried self, for a scared little boy. Now he knew why she was mainly by herself with the rest of Hades's offspring's. Their interaction skills sucked.

He was now glaring at her. "Oh, and I guess you're just the prefect little Princess aren't you? unafraid of everything, and no flaws. Bite me." he growled. "I wouldn't be in this damn mess if you hadn't of messed up in the first place! I rescued Alex. Now get me the hell out of here. Now!"he ordered, then jumped onto the damn beast, and didn't even bother to say anything else to her.

Dialogue: #f5a60e

Andy held the minotaur's horns firmly in her grasp as David made his way towards them, crouching beside her. She hadn't realized how much energy it took to hold them in place, but one slip of her grip could end David or her own life. Her life, eh she'd get over it, but Andy would probably blame herself for the rest of eternity if something happened to him while she was supposed to be helping him. She watched as his hand replaced hers on top of the creatures head, emitting a soft glow before he told them it was okay. With an exasperated sigh, Andy allowed her form to lay back in the grass. She hadn't realized how exhausted she really was... and beaten. She was definitely going to have a fair amount of bruises in the morning, not to mention a couple deep cuts from daggers and arrows. Getting thrown from the minotaur and backed into a tree didn't help anything either.

Andy lightly petted the minotaur's head before standing up off the ground. She couldn't help but chuckle at the blonde's comment, "Not the most synchronized team work, but team work none the less." She dusted off her jeans even though it didn't do much because she was covered in dirt and the occasional blood. Making her way over to David, she ran her hand back through her knotted brunette hair, "Thanks for not killing him." She nodded her head in the direction of the now, calm, minotaur, before looking back towards him with a smile. Extending her right hand towards him, "I'm Andromeda, by the way, but you can call me Andy."

Andy figured that if she could end this, very strange, of a day with at least making one somewhat friend then it might be successful. She hated that she didn't know anyone here, and she probably just made it worse by being the "the new girl that jumped on the back of a minotaur". She had no idea what kinda vibes that was going to send her way but she definitely was not a fan of being the center of attention, and she had a feeling that David was the same way.

Dialogue: #39b54a

Wes had the daggers that belonged to the brunette yanked from his hands, before he really had the chance to look them over, by the guy with the wings. Wings, huh? What was he doing? Wes would admit he was confused by the following events, but kinda huffed to himself when he saw the one guy go up to the creature and do some kind of Iron Man hand glow stuff to the minotaur which apparently changed everything because now everyone just kind of left the beast to do it's own thing. "So now we just have a pet Minotaur that's gonna roam Camp... Cool?" Wes didn't like the idea of that but as long as it stayed cleared of him, he didn't really care.

Wes was surprised when he heard the guy beside him ask who he was. He hadn't really noticed if anyone was paying any mind to him, he had a habit of just speaking whatever he wanted out loud, if there were others around or not. Wes grinned, pivoting so that he was facing the guy, while taking Daniel's hand in his own, he then pulled him closer to use his other hand to pat his back as if greeting an old friend. He probably crossed like 50 personal boundaries but he didn't care. "The name's Wesley, Wes for short. Son of Aphro-" He stopped mind sentence when he heard a female voice ask the male he was talking to what's up.

Wes turned so that he could face the both of them, when his eyes set on the fiery blonde that helped wrangle the minotaur with the silent dude and the chick that stuck the landing. He couldn't deny that watching her help take down the monster was very hot, plus he had a thing for blondes. But being a child of Aphrodite he tended to have a thing for just about any female that was attractive, and man was she attractive in his book. When she made a comment about a training program towards the other guy, Wes shifted his whole demeanor, placing his right arm on the guy's left shoulder while smirking, "Sign me up for whatever kind of training you had in mind..." He eyed her over, "I'd wrestle with you any day." With that his grin grew slightly while he sent the girl a wink. "And what do they call a pretty little thing like you?" Wes couldn't help but think he was so slick, he probably wasn't and looked like a complete tool but he didn't care.

Alex had just finished cleaning herself up for the night, then headed towards her cabin. She had stopped mid way as she felt the weather change almost suddenly, and looked up to the clouds above her. At first, she thought it was her father, but it wasn't. It was some kind of storm. She had to tell everyone else to take cover, because it looked like it was going to get really bad. They'd have to take shelter in the main hall for the time being.

Whilst running through the camp, Alex shouted out as loud as she could to the other Demigods. "Take cover!" she yelled over the wind that was picking up violently, and bending trees like they were made of cardboard almost. You could say that it looked like a tornado was on it's way. The Minotaur had left camp already, so no-one would need to worry about that, but they did need to worry about getting caught in the storm. It wouldn't effect Alex so much, but she still couldn't take chances, not while she still had a lot of training to attend to. With both hands on the halls door, and one foot on the wall behind it, she pulled the door open with as much strength she could muster against the strong winds, then began directing people inside. "This way!" she carried on to shout to them.

She squinted passed the rain that had now began to race down from the heavens, and saw a large flash in the distance that wasn't too far away, accompanied by an explosion type of sound. In no time the rain and the storm had vanished, but there was someone heading towards the hall. It was her brother! - without a second to lose, Alex raced towards him, and embraced him tightly. Thank the Gods that he was okay, and thank the Gods he was back where he belonged. With his sister.

"I love you, big brother." She finally said to him as she pulled back from their hug gently, then lightly screwed up her face as she began to cry tears of joy. Ajax cupped her face. "I love you too." He leaned forward, and placed a kiss to her forehead, and held his arm around her as he lead himself, and Alex, back to the camp. He couldn't believe that Jennova had saved him, then pushed him through the portal. He wasn't sure what was going to happen to her now, but hopefully she was going to be okay.

"What did I miss?" He asked, stumbling a little as they headed to the hall. "Just a Minotaur. Hades's son was able to tame it while the Daughter of Hecate had pinned it down." Ajax wished he had seen the action. "You didn't get hurt did you?" Alex was going to tell him the truth, but she thought it best that she'd keep it from him for now. "No." Hopefully he wouldn't pick up on the lie. "Good." All of a sudden, Ajax felt like his entire world was spinning on him, and he collapsed to the ground. "AJ!!!" she screamed, dropping down to her knees and pulling one of his arms around him with her own as she looked at him. "Can you hear me? Aj? come on, big brother, don't die on me or anything, okay?" She looked towards the hall in a panic. "Someone help!! HELP!!!" She shouted louder, hoping someone would hear her, and come to help him. She didn't know what was wrong with him until she noticed some wound on him. Had something stabbed him that was tipped with Poison? He couldn't speak, or even move. "I'm here.. don't be afraid." She cradled him a little once she had managed to lift his dead weight before he blacked out.

Her brow shot up at the intrusion the new guy was oblivious to and she eyed him in return, only in a different manner. She was sizing him up with his proposal to wrestle; and he looked good. Firm and like he could hold himself in battle. However, at the same time there was something that urged ‘not a fighter’ and that their definitions of wrestling may have not entirely added up to the same activity. Strengthening that belief was the wink and ever increasing smirk on his face. “They call me Trinity,” she said coolly. “And what do they call you?” she inquired in turn, adopting the male’s lingo.

However, her head spun to Zeus’ daughter darting across camp like a mad woman as the weather took a nasty turn. The wind caused her hair to whip forward and she stumbled into the guys. “Sorry,” she muttered. Such a gust was not taken kindly to and if she could beat up Mother Nature, she would. She spun and raced into the hall but it didn’t take long for her to feel like an equal idiot again as the tempest had stopped as soon as it had come. Trinity sighed out rolling her eyes. Not at the reunion in the distance with Zeus’ children but at this damn random place. Nothing was impossible. Nonetheless she was happy to perch on a seat in the hall and just…relax for a second which seemed like the hardest thing to do in this Camp.

Proving her right again was Ajax and his sister re-entering the hall where he collapsed. Trinity jumped to her feet but proved useless. There was nothing she could do at this time but look on in horror and hope for Ajax. She wasn't particularly close to him but he was a well known character on camp and a respectable figure as far as she knew.

Wes nearly tipped over when Daniel slipped away from them, but he held his composure as he reclaimed his balance, still trying to remain slick and flirtatious as he talked to the blonde. "Trinity?... I like it." She then brought his right hand up to run through is spiky brown hair, I'm Wesley, most people call me Wes... but you can call me tonight?" The corner of his mouth curled up in a flirty smile as he held the gaze of the blonde.

The wind began to pick up, but Wes hadn't noticed because he was just watching Trinity. She was so beautiful with the wind blowing through her blonde hair, being a bad ass made her that much hotter in his opinion. He was taken by surprise when the large gust of wind sent her stumbling right into him, his hands instinctively catching her by her shoulders. At that moment his flirting wore off, "You ok?" He looked down at her with a raised brow, making sure she was ok. But before she answered she raced off towards the hall.

Wes glanced around the grounds at the escalating storm, and as he made his way to the hall, he saw the minotaur riding brunette stop in the doorway and run back into the storm. What did she see? Curious, he turned to watch her and saw her run towards another brunette with a guy that seemed to be unconscious. He didn't remember the guy from earlier. Wes was going to shrug it off and walk back inside but since he figured the brunette saw him, he didn't want to seem like a total dick on the first day there. So with a heavy sigh he ran towards the girls and the unconscious male.

After shaking David's hand, she nodded her head in agreement while brushing her hair back from her face, "Good thing I don't judge a book by a cover.". The corner of her lips tugs at a slight smile as she adds, "It's all in the eyes... The real windows to the soul. Your's... remind me of his." She motioned in the direction of where ever the minotaur disappeared to, then back to David. Andy hadn't really noticed the picking up of wind speed around them too much until a branch snapped above them. With only a millisecond to think, she grabbed David by his shoulders pulling him forward just as the large branch landed where he would have been standing. She just as quickly released his arms, figuring he wasn't much for contact with people, "Don't worry... I don't expect a thank you." She didn't say this to seem cocky, she only said it because she sensed his discomfort when she thanked him, thanks didn't seem to be a word he favored. With that she nodded her head in the direction of the hall, then turned to run inside.

Unfortunately for Andy she didn't make it inside before the sky opened a down pour of rain onto her, drenching her within a second. Just as she reached the doorway she heard someone screaming, it was feint but she could hear it amongst the rain and wind. She pivoted to look out and saw Ajax collapsed on the ground in the arms of his sister, she was the one screaming. Andy didn't hesitate to run towards them in the rain, nearly slipping falling from the slick mud as she closed the distance to them. She noticed almost instantly the stab wound, kneeling down next to them she reached down to lift Ajax's shirt... Poisoned. "Hey!" She placed her hand on Alex's shoulder, "I won't let him die. But I need you go get another child of Hecate for me."

Andy knew barely anything about Ajax, but he was kind to her and that was enough for her to want to help him. She remembers reading up on poisons and poisonous plants, an intrigue she now associates with her parentage, Hecate, who among many things had a knowledge of poisonous plants. Andy sighed with relief when the new guy showed up, "I wasn't going to come help but-" Before the guy had a chance to finish his statement, Andy interrupted him. "Look I don't care, just help me carry him!" Thank god he took orders well, picking up Ajax and they both darted for the hall.

"Lay him on the table." Andy quickly tied back her hair while Wes laid him on the table. Andy lifted Ajax's shirt to look at the wound, wiping her index finger along a residue of poison, she brought it to her lips to taste it then quickly spit it out. "Aconitum... Wolfsbane." Andy knew what she needed to do. "Alcohol... I need alcohol!"

He liked that Andy wasn’t fazed by his lack of courtesy like most people would be and her own words caused a certain smile to creep across his lips in comparison to the minotaur. David quite liked being acknowledged as rough around the edges but still normal and capable of feeling and thought inside. When Andy had pulled him to her to avoid the fate of large branch smacking him, his body turned rigid and he couldn’t find his words. Whether it was any physical touch generally discomforted him or he were weird about it because of his past, he wasn't sure. She kind of covered that anyway, letting him go just as easily and claiming she didn’t expect a thank you which made things easier but slightly awkwarder. What was he supposed to say to her on their next encounter then?

He headed inside like his comrades but also coped the down pour of rain, drenching him like a cat. All of a sudden there was a rush of yelling and excitement and more drama. David spotted Ajax down and transported to the hall. He crossed his arms looking down on the wounded Ajax just as a little snoop before he blinked and slowly pulled the strings together. Who else would have the guts to attack a son of Zeus? He paced against the crowd around Ajax, shoving people out of his way, clasping Toby’s arm. David found a fairly secluded area, looking into the hall to make sure all the others were preoccupied there before he closed his eyes concentrating on the Underworld. It was where he wanted to be and needed to be. Son of Hades. With a hand still firmly on Toby’s arm, David warped himself and Apollo’s kid there landing hard on his side. So the landing needed a lot of mastering but he was fortunate to appear not far from Jennova. “Heal her,” he prompted with more urgency than he meant to let on.

Daniel had blinked steadying on his own feet as he appeared in the hall to escape the furious storm. Honestly after such a trick he felt kind of light headed, leaning against the wall for support and trying to focus on the action ahead. Darting figures, falling figure, emotional figures. He shook it off like a punch to his jaw and saw it was Ajax that had collapsed when his vision cleared. Ajax looked in particularly hellish shape causing Daniel to believe that there were more than a mere mortal's work or even minotaurs work at hand to knock down the son of Zeus in such bad shape. Daniel stepped forth to inspect for himself but the new crazy girl was taking the reins. When she mentioned getting another child of Hecate, Daniel brushed past Alex saving her stressed little mind the trouble "No need," he said lowly.

Instead of pacing, Daniel was caught inspecting Andy inspecting the wound and from the moment she identified the poison
Daniel was off and there again with alcohol, something to cover the wound once the poison was extracted and a bandage to cut off potential spread and keep the cover in place even though it'd probably be taped as well. Though, he watched her movements intently, he addressed Alex. "If you have to be around, at least keep his head tilted slightly up. Everyone else should back up." He turned to the crowding figures and waved them away. "All under control. Haven't you been poisoned before? Come on, back up."

Wes was surprised at how quickly everyone gathered around them the second he set the unconscious Ajax on the table. He couldn't deny that he was interested in what was going on, and especially curious about what was going to happen to the poisoned and unconscious guy. He thought about helping, but it was a fleeting thought that quickly fled from his mind. He didn't know 2 things about anything medical, let alone poison. But obviously the little brunette knew what she was doing as she took charge, the dark haired guy quickly following her lead.

Wesley tried to inch his way in to get a good look around the sister of the conscious, who was definitely freaking out. Not that he blames her. But then the son of Hecate piped up, "Everyone else should back up. All under control. Haven't you been poisoned before? Come on, back up." With an eye roll and a sigh, Wes backed up with the rest of the campers. Most of them finally filing out when they were frustrated they couldn't watch. He fought back and forth in his mind, and finally decided to take a seat on a picnic table that was 3 or 4 over, just wanting to be there to see the outcome.

Dialogue: #f5a60e

Andy let out a soft sigh of relief when the guy she had tried to talk with on many occasions pushed his way through the crowd with alcohol, and many of the other supplies she needed. She didn't realize until just then that he was the other child of Hecate... So that's why he seemed so familiar. As much as she'd love to talk to him about now being siblings? She had more pressing matters. Like Ajax unconscious before her. Letting Daniel control the crowd, Andy began to unbutton her shirt, removing it so she was just wearing her tank top, then placed her shirt under Ajax's head. She was worried the long sleeves could get in the way, and a pillow wouldn't hurt.

Grabbing the bottle of alcohol, Andy she first poured a little over the wound to cleanse whatever poison remained on the surface. Then she brought the bottle to her lips, taking a swig but instead of drinking it, she swirled it around in her mouth then spit it out, attempting to rid her mouth of as many germs as possible. "I'm going to need you to hold him down if he writhes while unconscious," She said to Daniel while rinsing her hands with the alcohol as well. It was bad enough that he was poisoned, he didn't need to get an infection too.

Andy shook her hands while taking a deep breath and rolling her neck. She was more nervous than she wanted to let on. Having someone's life rest in her hands terrified her, and everyone here was relying on her to save him. Andy was a hero though, she was no one... someone that easily went over looked on a regular basis. She took one more deep breath, before placing her hands on either side of the wound, "If he starts drooling or foaming at the mouth at all... I'm going to need you to induce vomiting." She stared right into Daniel's eyes, nodding her head in his direction.

This time she inhaled sharply through her nose as she leaned down over Ajax, pressing her lips in a circle around the wound. Once her mouth was locked around the cut she began suck out the poison. Andy then broke the connection to spit out the Wolfsbane into a bowl before leaning back down to the wound and sucking again. After a couple more extractions, she took a break to breathe, wiping her mouth with a cloth. Andy coughed a couple times, she felt it making her mouth tingle a little but as long as she didn't swallow it she'd be ok. She let her gaze linger to Daniel and then to Alex for a moment, before she once again leaned down to suck out more poison.

When Alex saw everyone crowding around her brother, she felt appreciated that they cared in some way, but no doubt they were just being nosy, especially the ones who didn't even know him. To some, he was just the son of Zeus. She was about to move to give Daniel and Andy some room to work in, but she felt Wes leering past her to get a look at her brother. Turning her gaze to Wes from over her shoulder, Alex looked down to his shoes, and back up again to his face, before turning to face him completely. She pushed him back a little with her hand. "Concerned, or not, you need to back up and give him some air space. If anything happens to him? I will blame every single one of you in this room if you don't do as we ask. So please.. move." Once he backed up, Alex peeled her eyes off of him, and turned her attention back to the table.

She followed Daniels orders to supporting her brothers head, and watched as Andy used her mouth around her brothers wound to extract the poison out of him. It looked disgusting, and she worried a little just encase none of this was going to work, but it had to. She leaned down to Ajax, and pressed her lips softly to his forehead while closing her eyes. She was silently praying for the Gods to save him, even if they weren't capable of doing anything. Not in a situation like this, or so she thought at least. "Fight it, and come back to us. You hear me, big brother? you can do this. I know you can. You're strong." she whispered towards Ajax's ear.

She straightened up, but kept a hold of Ajax's head in her hands, but looked up to Daniel with furrowed brows. She went to speak, but instead, she looked down for a second and kept silent. She didn't want to interrupt the both of them by just saying thank you. It could wait. Her hazel green eyes lay back upon him, and she didn't even realize that she was staring at him. It almost looked like she was in a trance. Alex liked Daniel a lot since day one. He was handsome, smart, entertaining, fun, had an amazing personality, and sense of humor. Would he be able to tolerate a daughter of Zeus? what with her short temper and all.

She'd wait until tonight, then she could possible sneak over to his cabin and invite him to join her outside somewhere, just the two of them.

Wes felt like he was being herded like cattle as Alex motioned for him to back up. It wasn't like he just carried the dude inside or anything. As he sat at a table he saw a peppy blonde take a seat across from him, "I hope he's ok." She said. Wes didn't know if she was talking to him or just speaking in general to anyone who would listen. Either way, he felt the need to reply, "Yeah... But since I'm not part of the hero crowd I'm just going to take my exit."

With that Wes stood up as the girl's dog ran past him to go see her, as it passed he allowed his hand to brush it's fur before he made his way to the entrance of the hall. Hesitating in the doorway, her mumbled under his breath, "Hopefully the Gods will save him." Then he slipped outside into the storm. The rain wouldn't have bothered him if it didn't ruin his hair that he thought was pretty on point for the day. Then with a sigh, he trudged his way towards the cabins.

It took him more than a long while to find his cabin considering there wasn't really anyone roaming around the grounds that he could ask for directions. But when he finally got there, he made his way up to his bed, plopping down on it. He then leaned over grabbing his remote for the radio, turning it on, blasting some Metallica.

Andy worked quickly as she quickly continued to extract more of the poison. Thankfully the poison didn't seem to be effecting her quite like it was for Ajax. It made her a little foggy, and her mouth tingled but maybe Hecate children had a slight immunity? She didn't know, and didn't have much time to dwell on it. She made a mental note to research it. She placed her palms on the table, letting her head hand for a moment as she took another breather. The sensation of the poison wasn't so bad, but it was the taste. It took everything within her note to toss the lunch bucket all over the hall. The taste of blood and Wolfsbane isn't something she'd suggest for people to try.

As she brushed back the loose hairs that dangled in her face, she couldn't help but notice Ajax's sister having a slightly prolonged glance in Daniel's direction. Did she like him? Of course she did... it's obvious. Before either one of them noticed that she was eavesdropping on a somewhat private gaze, Andy took another deep breath before lowering herself down to suckle once again.

She was surprised at how much had entered such a small wound, no wonder he was unconscious. Andy didn't know how much more she could handle. The poison was making her dizzy and the taste was making her nauseous beyond belief. She said a silent prayer to the Gods that it be over soon, and as if nearly on cue the next extraction she pulled passed her lips, she didn't taste anything beyond the irony taste of blood. Her eyes lighting up slightly, she quickly expelled it from her mouth before taking one more draw just to be sure she wasn't imagining it. Winner winner chicken dinner! Blood taste yet again! Andy never thought she'd ever be grateful to taste blood, but she was proven wrong in that moment.

Taking the bottle of alcohol, she rinsed her mouth several times to rid the horrid taste and any poison residue from her mouth before pouring some of the liquid over the wound to sterilize it. As she began to bandage the wound, Andy looked up occasionally as she addressed Daniel and Alex, "Ajax is going to be fine." Once finished addressing the wound, she sighed softly glancing between the two of them, "Name's Andy." She motioned to herself figuring it might be relevant at some point for her to know the names of her now brother? And Ajax's sister. "Ajax won't wake for a good handful of hours, and we can't risk moving him tonight."

Andy took a seat at the table that Ajax laid upon, wiping sweat from her brow. "I'm going to stay here for the night... In case I need to extract more Wolfsbane or stabilize him for any reason. She now looked towards Alex as she spoke, "You got pretty tossed around by the minotaur. I'll keep a good eye on him if you wanna go relax and get some air. It'll just make you worry more if you sit here and wait for him to wake up." Andy was right, she saw it time and time again with the soldiers that were injured while she traveled around with her father. Plus, she had this gut feeling that maybe Alex wanted some time alone with Daniel, and time alone seemed to be a rare thing around here and that would give her an opportunity while Andy was left to take care of Ajax. "I can come get you when he wakes." She smiled towards the brunette as she took her hand in her own, "I'll take good care of him."

He watched his new discovered sister then Alex clinging to her brother. For some reason he found his eyes looking back on Andy and wondering if they'd be that kind of sibling pair but with that thought, he found his face scrunching up a little, supplying his answer. It was all too clingy and protective and...they only had a mother in common. It wouldn't mean they'd bond instantly. Though a part of Daniel was very much intrigued to know about his sister and get acquainted, she had a task on her hands and mouth now. He turned his head to Alex and smirked slightly before he spoke to gain her attention. "You sure you're not poisoned anywhere?" he asked softly and manged to do so, smug free. He wouldn't mind pressing his lips to her bare skin to extract some poison. Daniel would've apologized for the inappropriate timing but it was his way of dealing with a serious situation.

When Andy spoke again, explaining the latest news on Ajax's condition and introducing herself, Daniel pressed his tongue to his cheek and nodded. He had a lot more to say to his sister but it could wait for a freer day when Ajax wasn't laying unconscious and senseless and she hadn't offered to babysit. "I'm Daniel, Andy" he tasted the name on his tongue which felt weird having to introduce yourself to a sibling but they were on ground zero and it was a start. Daniel headed out, ready to call it a night for himself as the girls were involved in some further consultation of Ajax.

Daniel wasn't sure how he felt. Kinda happy he had a sister and happy that Alex was eyeing him a lot of the time but it felt like this guy could only bare so much genuine trust and good sides, without having to manipulate or trick someone. He already had a sister and father who he did love and respect and that was enough in his books. They were honestly enough to manage.

Maybe Alex was a bit harsh on Wes, because he did help in his own way by carrying Ajax into the hall. She just naturally didn't trust new people, even if they weren't a threat. It didn't help that her brother was unconscious still, so all of the emotions inside of her were merely making her act irrationally from fear. She was taking it out on others for no reason. Her mother had brought her up to respect those who were helpful, and kind, so she'd make it her mission to apologize to him as soon as she could. Soon as Daniel asked if she was poisoned anywhere, Alex looked to him, and smirked herself with a smile that was trying so hard not to break into a big grin. "How about you swing by my cabin later, and find out." she played back, looking into his eyes with a cheeky little grin this time. It was inappropriate, but for that very moment with him, it wouldn't hurt anyone to just lightly joke around to lighten the mood. Their flirting little moment was broken though as Andy spoke up, causing the both of them to look at her. She felt her cheeks flushing softly.

Alex was so grateful that she was in debt to Daniel, and his sister. They had both luckily been able to get Ajax through the worst of it, but now her brother needed to make it through the rest of the night before claiming he was safe. Tonight of all nights was going to be difficult with the constant worry for her brothers life. When Andy offered to babysit, and that Alex should get some fresh air, she was in two minds of if she should follow through with any of it. What if he woke up and noticed that she wasn't there by his side? - She wouldn't mind watching over him. "Are you sure? because you look pretty exhausted. But thank you so much to the both of you. I wouldn't know what I would of done if you guys hadn't been around."

When Daniel left, Alex glanced over her shoulder at him and watched him exit into the storm. She felt like following him, but maybe he just needed to be alone for a moment. She'd find him later. With a little silent sigh wishing that he had stayed just a little longer, Alex turned back to Andy. She had given her nothing more than a weak smile, then glanced down to her brother, stroking the palm of her hand back against the top of his forehead, pushing his hair back gently along the way. "Come get me the second he opens his eyes, and thanks again." Alex walked over to her, and gave her a hug before drawing back a little to give a smile before leaving the hall. First, she headed to Wes's Cabin to apologize, then she would find Daniel. What she needed to do for him was essential in her own eyes.

She wandered towards where Wes's Cabin area was, passing Trinity along the way. "I feel sorry for the punch bag." she commented towards Trinity, smiling to her warmly as she carried on to walk, but eventually got a little lost for a second. Once reaching a cabin that she believed belonged to Wes, Alex knocked on the door waiting for him to answer. Hopefully she wouldn't be too long with this, because she needed to see Daniel.

This entire time, Ajax was still unconscious. He was barely moving, but at least he was breathing a lot better now. His fingers twitched a little as his body slowly began to wake up. His body was recovering.

The first Metallica song wasn't even halfway over before he kicked his boots off and reached his hands back over his shoulders to grab at the material of his shirt, tugging it over his head. He wasn't expecting camp to be so hot all the time, and probably dancing around while jamming to the music didn't help cool him down either. He moved around his cabin, sliding down the banister to the first flooring, playing the air guitar as he made his way to the mini fridge. If it wasn't for a change in songs, he probably wouldn't have heard the knock on the door at all. He raised a brow in curiosity as he wondered who in the world would be knocking on his door? It's not like he particularly knew anyone here yet, at least not by name other than Trinity. With a sigh, he opened the fridge, leaning on the door with his right arm as he reached in grabbing 2 coca cola's. Spinning to face the door, he closed the door with his foot, making his way to the door.

Using his right hand, he opened the door, leaning his shoulder against the door frame, while holding out one of the cokes towards his guest. He hadn't looked up yet to see who it was while he popped the tab on his drink, then bringing it to his lips to draw in a drink. Once he saw it was Alex he nearly choked on the soda, almost spitting it everywhere if his hand didn't come up to cover his mouth. He quickly shifted in the doorway feeling slightly uncomfortable standing there in just his jeans before the girl. Obviously he had no esteem issues when it came to his body, and it was more than apparent that he was in good shape. But for some reason he just had this feeling she was almost the Miss Camp Athens here, and it felt some what wrong to be so... vulnerable in front of her.

Wes brought his right hand up to rub the back of his neck, "Oh hey. I wasn't expecting you." He tried to manage a slight chuckle, "Well honestly, I didn't expect anyone... because no one knows me." He shrugged his muscular shoulders. He raised his brows when he heard a pounding noise in the distance, looking over to see Trinity a few hundred yards away near her cabin beating the crap out of a punching bag. He smirked slightly before looking back at Alex, "I would put have more clothes on or something." He glanced down at his bare chest then back up at her, "Something I can help you with?"

Andy pretended not to hear Daniel's comment to Alex as she went to a sink to wash her hands, bringing her dap hands up to run across her sweat glistening face, then back through her hair. When she thought she was in the clear, she shook the excess water off her hands, wiping them on her jeans and walking back over to the table. "I'm Daniel, Andy" He said upon her return. She couldn't help but smile towards him. Of course she didn't know anything about him yet, but something about having a brother comforted her. Andy didn't have any family besides her father growing up, and most everyone thought she was crazy. So having someone that she could maybe have a decent bond with made her happy, and in the same breath scared the crap out of her because regardless of how close or not close they grew, he was now a weakness that could be used against her.

"Are you sure? because you look pretty exhausted. But thank you so much to the both of you. I wouldn't know what I would of done if you guys hadn't been around." Alex said toward's Andy before Daniel began to head out of the hall. Andy smiled towards the girl in a reassuring manner, while managing a light hearted chuckle, "Pssh I'm still running on adrenaline from the Minotaur, so that won't sink in until after I rest." She smiled genuinely, glancing down slightly as her flushed a bit. She wasn't used to being thanked for her actions, generally she was invisible to most. But somehow she seemed to get her face on the radar of about every camper today which was something she definitely wasn't used to. "You're welcome." She figured Alex would do the same thing if she was in her position. "Well I mean I don't really know anyone here, but Ajax was nice to me when I was completely a fish out of water. He seems like too good of a guy. So I figured the least I could do was try." Andy glanced over at Ajax as he slept for a moment before looking back to his sister.

Andy looked away when Alex looked towards Daniel as he left. She wasn't in a place to tell Alex to just go after him, even though it was more than apparent that they both were into each other. When the girl spoke to her, she turned to gaze back towards her, "Come get me the second he opens his eyes, and thanks again." She smiled as the girl embraced her, trying not to wince from the soreness that was slowly creeping in from the bull riding adventures earlier. "You got it." She then nodded her head in the direction of Daniel as a silent Go ahead, I got this.

Once the hall was empty, Andy got a wash cloth, dampening it in clean water before bringing it to dab at Ajax's forehead to keep his body temperature low. As she did that she realized it was the first time she really took in the male's appearance. He wasn't too handsome like the Aphrodite son, but an average type of attractive which is what appealed to Andy. She wasn't one for overly pretty boys, and Ajax definitely had the looks of a guy she'd easily find appealing. She tried to shake the thoughts from her mind as she went to check his wound, lifting the bandage. After all, she didn't know much about him other than he was the go to guy at the camp and she was just an easily over seen daughter of Hecate. When she saw that the wound was still alright, she sat down at the bench seat of the picnic table Ajax laid on. Crossing her arms on the wooden surface, she rested her forehead on her arms. It was going to be a long night, but someone had to stay with him and Andy knew Alex would worry herself sick sitting her waiting for him to wake.

She hadn't realized how tired she had became until she felt her self begin to doze off. Before she completely fell asleep, she moved her right hand to rest on top of Ajax's left. She wasn't trying to make a move on him or anything. Simply resting her hand upon his allowed her to feel any writhing, rise of body temperature or movement of Ajax. And with that she allowed herself to fall into a light slumber, one where she could easily be woken by a simple twitch of the finger or noise outside the hall.

Not entirely catching Alex’s words with her ear phones in, she rose her hand as acknowledgement that she’d at least seen her. Whatever it was, it looked like a compliment by her light smile. It didn’t seem long after Daniel entered talking to her. She pulled out her earphones with her jaw clenched, seeing as he looked ready to stay for awhile and make himself at home. Bothered by the interruption and hugging the bag with an arm leaning on it, she listened tolerantly. With her outward demeanor seeming aggressive, she loosened up realizing he was walking around her previous proposal.

At his comment that her cabin looked like it belonged in a slasher movie though, she laughed and nodded. At dark it kinda did. Though it were a lot more new looking than the spooky old ones made of rotting wooden panels. It had the vulnerable seclusion down to the bone, next to others well lit cabins with some style about them. ”Jason?” she questioned. “You mean Jason Voorhees? Friday the 13th?” She watched him head off, leaving her confused. It seemed so irrelevant but she knew how he liked mind games so maybe this was one of those? Trinity scoffed after him shaking her head.

When she heard a window break, Trinity looked over her shoulder straightening up, then to Daniel’s retreating figure.

“No way.” Trinity spun around and ran inside her cabin that acted like her second home. She hated that her pace even slowed when she got inside and closed the door behind her. She flicked her light switch that according to troop would not come on and her fist pounded the wall once. "Of course" she growled. Trinity started slowly to the other end of the cabin where the breeze was flying in through the broken window. When the slightest movement came from her peripheral vision, she stepped back avoiding a fierce swing of a machete. She had grabbed his armed wrist and threw her shoulder and weight into the masked figure but he only stumbled back. His free arm extended, grabbing Trinity's throat and pushed in a way that made her lose her footing. She let out a strangled scream, maintaining her firm grip on his wrist that held the weapon and bracing her free hand against him. He was a truly repulsing character to have so close, making her cringe and turn her head away from him. Trinity brought up her knee in just the right place and pushed him off her into the furniture.

She tried to run to her storage but he grabbed her ankle and dragged her back. She kicked back at his ugly masked face and squirmed free before his machete reached the floor where her leg would've been seconds ago. Trinity jumped up and kicked her heel on the handle of the blade, impaling it further into her floor. She swung her boot into the villain's face once, separating him from his weapon of choice and crouched down cursing his machete to embed in the floor like the sword in the stone curse and ran to her kitchen instead to keep her eyes on Jason trying to pull his machete from the floor. Trinity pulled out the most sharp knife she could find and ran into the rising horror figure bringing up her knee and pushing him to the wall. He was pushing against her arms with his own, preventing her from reaching impact with the knife. He found his opening and pushed her arms to the side. The to and fro'ing continued, with cries of pain and more furniture and belongings being knocked around until Trinity had advantage point and stabbed the conjuration through the heart, twisting the knife as she dug in with all her weight. Jason vanished from underneath her and she had to remind herself it was an it. She didn't give a crap who or what it was , it needed to die.

She sat against her bench for a moment among the knocked over bar seats, noticing bleeding from her leg. He had cut her at some stage and she hadn't even noticed. She treated the wound as she knew how. And no doubt she'd wake with more than few pretty bruises but if anyone asked, there had been a minotaur attack. Of course the brunette had coped the most grief from the creature but like anyone would know the difference or believe the alternate truth that Jason attacked her. Thanks to the lack of communication from Hecate's son.

Trinity would deal with him another day. When she weren't so drained and felt more mobile.

Alex had never met anyone as kind as Andy before when it came to people she didn't know, and she knew for a fact that she could be trusted already, which wasn't in Alex's nature to trust people so quickly. It took some time. Andy had proven herself this far. "Pssh I'm still running on adrenaline from the Minotaur, so that won't sink in until after I rest." Alex smiled with her pearly white teeth on show a little as she chuckled. That Minotaur was definitely going to be hot topic at the camp for a while. Everyone did their own bit to protect each other, so Alex was glad to be apart of all of this. It was so worth leaving home for. "Honestly!? I'm just glad all of that is over, and that no-one got hurt too much." Alex's ribs still ached from where she collided with the thick wooden trunk, but she knew she'd be okay once they heal.

"Well I mean I don't really know anyone here, but Ajax was nice to me when I was completely a fish out of water. He seems like too good of a guy. So I figured the least I could do was try." Ajax was always the one to mainly put others before himself, he got that trait from their mother. "Yeah, he's a good guy and will help when ever he can." This was all before Alex had left to find Wes.

Once Wes had finally opened the door after the loud music had stopped, she was taken back by shock a little. He was half naked. Who the heck was he expecting to show up? Either way, it didn't matter. "Oh hey. I wasn't expecting you. Well honestly, I didn't expect anyone... because no one knows me." Alex lightly folded her arms, her eyes on his face. "Yeah, sorry for interrupting anything.. but Umm, it was kind of a last minute decision kind of thing." The music she had heard before had been her own kind of music, so that was one thing she had in common with the son of Aphrodite, making it somewhat easier to tolerate him. She reminded herself It wasn't his fault he had the traits he was birthed with, so Alex remained nice, just like her mother taught her. "I would have put more clothes on or something." Alex watched him as he glanced down at his bare chest, then back up at her. "It's fine. I've seen a guys naked body before." She said to reassure him that it was fine. "Something I can help you with?" She nodded to him, shifting her weight a little to prepare herself for a small little speech. "I came to apologize about earlier. I shouldn't of spoken to you like that, especially since you were the one that helped too. I was; am.. still worried about him. I took it out on you, and I shouldn't of. I'm sorry. What I would like to say instead!? is thank you.." her voice was gentle the entire time. "So, I gotta go." She pointed her thumb back over her shoulder. "Have a good night, Wes. And don't worry.. people will know you soon enough." with that, she left him to his business, wandering off back towards camp in search for Daniel, and to check in on Andy with her brother before heading up to her cabin for at least a nap. Maybe.

So the search for Daniel was on. Part of her thought that she was coming on a bit too strong with the way she was crushing on him, because she felt as though she was scaring him off a little, but she couldn't help the way she felt. Ajax would never allow her to date the guys she wanted, because he knew their games, knew the reason they wanted to be with his sister, and that wasn't happening.. not on his watch, not while he's still breathing. Her thoughts were on her brother as she decided to just steadily stroll back to the camp. The fresh air could help clear her mind a little. She decided that she wasn't going to go home tonight, because she wouldn't be able to sleep up there knowing that her brother could wake up at any moment. Hopefully.

With being so occupied with her own thoughts, she hadn't even noticed the other Demigods had gone about their own business, and that two of them were missing, along with the one she already knew was missing. Son of Apollo, Son of Hades, and the Daughter of Hades. Alex was in her own little world now as she decided to just take a seat on the bank of the lake that overlooked the two large mountains covered in trees. Camp Athens was the most beautiful place she had ever set her eyes on.

Wes had to fight an outburst of laughter when Alex said, "It's fine. I've seen a guys naked body before." He wished he had his cellphone on him to just record her saying that, make into a funny vine or something. He couldn't fight the creeping grin while he shook his head, "Lord if you brother heard that one." He mumbled under his breath. He slipped his hands into the front pocket of his jeans while it settled his weight against the door frame once again. His brows raised in curiosity as Alex gave a her little speech.

"I came to apologize about earlier. I shouldn't of spoken to you like that, especially since you were the one that helped too. I was; am.. still worried about him. I took it out on you, and I shouldn't of. I'm sorry. What I would like to say instead!? is thank you.." Wes smiled slightly as he lifted his right hand up to run it back through his short hair, "Hey, don't worry about it. I probably would have been the same way if I was in your situation. I tend to have a short temper... kinda like yourself." He smirked slightly towards her before she concluded, "So, I gotta go. Have a good night, Wes. And don't worry.. people will know you soon enough." Wes shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Eh... I wasn't too worried about it. Not everyone can be immune to my charm like you are." He smiled towards the brunette, giving her a 2 finger salute as he spoke, "G'night."

Wes was about to head back inside and continue his on going jam session while dancing around his cabin like he's in Risky Business after Alex left. But as he was about to close the door to his cabin, he heard the sound of glass shattering, shortly followed by a racket coming from Trinity's cabin that obviously wasn't her beating the shit out of a punching bag. He began to worry. Sure strange stuff happened here all the time, he could see that in the short amount of time he's been here. But that was strange. Wes didn't waste time putting on shoes or a shirt, he simply hurdled the railing of his porch and sprinted towards the blonde's cabin.

Taking the stairs to the door in 2 large steps, he didn't wait to knock on the door or get permission to enter. He simply grabbed the handle and threw open the door just in time to see the feisty blonde just in time to see her knife plunge into the heart of her attacker, who disappeared quickly after the impact. He stayed silent for a moment, trying to let the events sink in as he saw her take a seat and bandage her wound. "Ummm..." He put his index finger up in a pensive manner, "Was... was that Jason?" He furrowed his brows and cocked his head to the side slightly, almost wondering why he even asked such a strange question.

"Lord if your brother heard that one." Alex laughed, and bumped her hip into his. "He'd probably kill me." She chuckled. "It was during school, and I happened to stumble into the boys shower room at the wrong time." she didn't really have to justify herself, but at least he'd know that she wasn't a pervert or anything. She had been looking for a couple of her friends who were of the opposite sex. She had seen them wander into the shower room, and she was contemplating if she should go in or not, but.. with her being the dare devil that she is!? she went for it, took her chances. She was now standing in a foggy room full of naked men. Some had a towel around their waist, and some were butt naked. One had even passed her, causing her to step back a little with shock. Her virgin eyes had been violated.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I probably would have been the same way if I was in your situation. I tend to have a short temper... kinda like yourself." He was right, she did have a short temper, even Ajax did too. "The perk of being Zeus's child." she shrugged softly before making her exit. "Eh... I wasn't too worried about it. Not everyone can be immune to my charm like you are." He had smiled towards her with that comment, causing her to jokingly rolls her eyes with a smile of her own. She definitely had an immunity to it, because the other girls were practically falling at his feet, or drooling silently in the distance, but not Alex. I bet that was a shock for him though, especially with him being so used to every girl wanting him for his pretty boy looks. "Definitely the son of Aphrodite." she called back to him, waving him off once after he gave her a 2 finger salute as he spoke again. "G'night." she heard him say behind her as she headed down his path. "Night" she drawled, then chuckled whilst shaking her head.

She shuffled back to the closest tree at the lake, the thoughts of her brother haunting her mind as she tilted her head back against the bark. She was close to tears, and luckily no-one could witness her slight break down. She had been holding herself together in-front of everyone else for ages as she remained strong for her brother, and everyone else, but with the possibilities of him not even making it through the night!? that made her weak. Her brother was her biggest weakness.

Now there was Daniel who was secretly up there with him in her list of weaknesses. She never allowed this to happen before, she never let people sneak up on her, or get too close, but.. she couldn't help it this time. Daniel wasn't like anyone else she had met, he was different, and stuck out of the crowd so boldly with so much confidence. That is what Alex loved the most. She loves a man who can handle himself, has a good sense of humor, a bad-ass, caring, and intelligent. His looks were a bonus. Damn it. She shook her head a little as if trying to shake her thoughts. What was this guy doing to her?

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤHe was making her feel vulnerable.
ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤNo-one had ever accomplished that with her.
ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤShe's always been strong, and resilient.
ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤDamn you, Daniel.

The sky was soon being covered with a black velvet sheet full of diamonds, and a large round rock that glowed proudly, illuminating the things it hit, and casting shadows. Alex hadn't realized how late it was, and she hadn't even bumped into Daniel just yet. She got up from where she was sat, and began dusting off her slightly numb bottom before heading back to the hall to check on Ajax, but the second she saw Daniel up in the distance!? she took a detour for a second. Andy was with her brother, so nothing was going to happen to him.

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤ"Daniel!" she called out to him as she jogged over in his direction. "Do you have a moment? - I need to talk to you." She wasn't going to lie, but with him her confidence wavered. She was nervous.

He hadn't entirely got to reach his cabin when he was disturbed by a comment flattering his appearance. "You're very attractive." David turned to see the girl and laughed an unsure laugh, waiting for her to admit she was joking or cover it up in some fashion. She didn't even know him, though granted her definition was probably based on his mere appearance. He was surprised to see her only turn and walk toward the cold lake. He laughed to himself again and continued the march to his cabin. Lady, you should see the inside. It would be far from the outside he wore. In fact, if she even heard his best wishes to Jennova and Toby, she'd know that.

As he lay on his bed,staring up to the cave roof, since he had concealed a cabin with it, he briefly reflected on the day and what the hell tomorrow would bring. Such a herd of new people to face, from the weirdly nonjudgmental minotaur riding girl, Andy to Miss 'hey, you're very attractive'. That still made him grin. Maybe tomorrow he'd meet her again and get another random compliment on his appearance.

He found a picnic table by walking into it side on as he kept glancing to the vague direction of Ares daughter's cabin on the mountain. "Ow." Nonetheless he took a reverse seat, leaning his arms on the table part squinting into the darkness. Trinity would manage. If there was one blonde that was going to survive a horror flick, it'd be her. He left his seat seeing as there was no use sitting and waiting blindly, but just in time to see a male dash up toward her cabin. Wes? Hm. Maybe he had summoned a good challenge for her. Daniel didn't know, it was all mute and blind from where he was sitting.

Daniel turned to Alex calling him, causing his lips to pull to the side, unsure of what to expect from her. He were tempted to give her a blunt "no" but where would that get him? "Alex! What can I do for you?" he said instead, adopting energy he didn't care to have. He crossed his arms over his chest and kept a slow walk pace.

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤ"Alex! What can I do for you?" She wasn't entirely sure what she wanted him do, she wasn't even sure what she wanted to do herself now she was over here, walking with him. She felt nervous again, and the palms of her hands were sweating along with her heart picking up in pace. "I.. Umm.." She was stuttering a little with her nerves being all over the place, but she made it look like she just couldn't put words to together to match her thoughts. In-fact, that was the truth. There were no words to even describe what she was going through right now. "I was wondering.. " she couldn't think of anything to make up, so, she dared herself to do the next part. She quickly stopped him in his tracks, cupped his face in both of her hands, and kissed him gently just once before pulling back to look at him. Hopefully he wasn't going to avoid her for this out of feeling awkward or anything. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of done that. I had no right to even do that. Thank you for helping Ajax." she wanted to die in a hole. "Maybe I should leave."

His fingers began to twitch even more as he remained on his back with his eyes closed, but he was definitely waking up because he could hear people wandering around outside on camp. While feeling someone's limb on him, he slowly opened his eyes with a slight groan, and a wince. He felt a little bruised, but that was about it. "My head hurts, and my throat is dry." he coughed, feeling a scratched type sensation in the back near his tonsils.

He then froze when he saw the girl he had helped before sleeping in a chair with her hand on him. Had she been there for a while? he had no idea, and where was Alex? was she okay? who was even watching over her? so many questions filled his head. He felt a bit dizzy.

He had actually thought Alex was in the room, until he realized it was Andy. He watched her as she headed to the sink to get him a drink of water for his throat, then looked around the room so he knew where exactly they both were. It wasn't home, but it would do for now. Andy soon came back to him with the drink in her hand. She had lifted his head a little so he wouldn't choke, and he placed his hands gently over hers to steady the glass to take a much needed drink before she set it down after he was done. With a slight sigh and a lick of his lips, he rested his head back, and swallowed a little as he glanced down to his body, trying to see where his injury was under his shirt, but when he felt the coolness of cloth against him forehead, he closed his eyes for a second before reopening them onto the girl who helped him to fight through most of the night.

He remained silent for a moment as he watched her dabbing at him to keep his head cool, hoping it would sooth the head pain, then parted his lips to say, "Thank you." he said. "For staying with me to look after me. Was there anyone else? or are you going to take the credit for yourself?" he smirked.

She must of guessed from the look on his face before that he was worried where Alex was. "Your sister is fine..." She began to say, keeping the rag across his forehead, and glancing down at him with her bright green eyes. "I told her I'd watch after you. She'd worry herself sick sitting around waiting for you to wake up." She was right, She would of. "I'm surprised that you got her to leave. She's stubborn. How did you do it?" as she checked his wound, Ajax watched, ready to wince in pain if it hurt as she mentioned Daniel. So that was the answer to how she got Alex to leave his side. It wasn't that she'd choose Daniel over him, but because she knew that her brother was in good hands already. Alex had always been a good judge of character.

As she helped him get comfy again, he couldn't help but notice that she wasn't in good shape herself. "Would you like me to tell you what happened with the minotaur... and you? Or should I just go get Alex?" Ajax leaned up on his elbow this time. "I'll find Alex, but first tell me about the Minotaur, and what happened to me.." he paused a second or two. "And you.."He sat up, and gently pulled her up to her feet, lifted up the hem of her shirt, and scanned his eyes over the cuts, and bruises before looking up to her. "The Minotaur did this?"

When he heard some other voice enter the hall, Ajax placed Andy's top down, and turned his attention to Adrian before looking to the blonde he had brought with him. "Nice to meet you," he said to Veronica, then wandered towards Adrian with a limp in his walk a little. He needed to get the blood flowing back into his legs. "Thanks, man, but I'm good. Have you seen my sister?"

Daniel paused when she stopped in front of him, giving her a questionable look. Step by step, the event unravelled. She cupped his neck, moved in and placed her lips to his. Daniel had only had time to slightly press his own in return before chuckling as she pulled away apologizing. "You're right," he tried to state seriously watching her, "you had no right doing that. I could have a girlfriend." When she mentioned how she should be leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that she didn't want to stick around for their brief date. He got it as a girl thing though. Kiss and run because they felt awkward about it or didn't know what else to do.

"Yeah, I suppose you should be checking on your brother." Daniel enforced her excuse and gestured to the hall. Ajax and Alex didn't part for too long.

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤShe smiled at his chuckle. She wasn't leaving because she didn't know what else to do, or that it was awkward, it was just that she thought she did the wrong thing by kissing him too soon. Wasn't it suppose to be the guy who makes the first move? she wasn't entirely sure, but she knew she wanted to. She liked him.

"You're right, you had no right doing that. I could have a girlfriend." Alex blinked softly for a second, and raised one of her brows at him. "I doubt that. Since I got here you've been eyeing me, and flirting. If it was true that you did!? then you'd be one of those losers." She winked to him with a smirk. Alex hated when guys did that though, because if they didn't truly love her? why couldn't they just tell her the truth so she didn't have to waste her life on him, then find a guy who actually deserves her before she's too old. "If that was true? then I would of lost all respect for you." She held his hand for a second, furrowing her brows. She knew that he wasn't that type of person, for those actions were of a childish boy. Daniel was a man. She slowly let go of his hand, and began to walk off towards the hall, but kept her gaze on Daniel for a second from over her shoulder as she carried on to walk away from him. Her heart was racing just from feeling his skin against her own. It almost seemed as if he was making her tingle all over, or was she actually tingling?

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤThe way Daniel was sometimes though, she wasn't even sure if he liked her,
ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤunless he was just playing hard to get. A Possibility.
ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤShe didn't want to leave him, but she just figured that he'd want to be alone for now.

Alex had finally reached the hall, but froze on the spot once in the room. Adrian was there, Veronica, Andy.. and her brother. He was actually awake. "AJ..!!" she clipped the blonde on the shoulder as she passed as an accident for rushing, and flung her arms around her brothers neck with hyperactive excitement. She couldn't believe it. While still hugging his tall height, she was on her tip-toes as her gaze turned to Andy with a look of gratitude as she smiled to her, then nodded her head once as a little bow for a thank you.

Everything that Andy replied to him had made him smile. She really was such a sweet girl, and no doubt that Alex would be her slave for the next couple of days out of gratitude for saving her brother. Ajax found it odd how he was so relaxed around her, it almost caused him to open up entirely, but he had never done that, he had never shared his feelings with anyone, and in honesty!? it scared him a little.

"You should take things slow there Cowboy. You'll still be lightheaded for a bit... You don't need to pass out, fall over and get a concussion." She had teased slightly. Ajax was looking at her as she said that, and he grew a grin before looking to the halls main door, spotting his sister. "I can take you to find her if you'd like..." "No need.. she's here." he laughed as she made her way towards him so quickly, then caught her with his arms around her, and hugging her so close to him as he closed his eyes. Thank God that she was safe, and that he was recovering. "I've missed you." He heard Alex say, even if it was slightly muffled into his shoulder. "I've missed you too." Alex pulled back now, because she didn't want to hurt him.

Ajax could tell something was wrong with her though, even passed her excitement of his recovery. She was masking some of her pain. "You wanna talk about it?" He whispered to her closely so no-one else could hear, but the look she gave him said it all. She didn't want to, and not here of all places. No offense to the others. Maybe she could just speak to her brother later with it now getting late. He put his arm around her to pull her gently into his side as he turned his attention back to the other three in the room. "Okay, I think we should all call it a night, it's been a long one." He looked to Andy, and Alex slipped out of her brothers hold a second as he leaned in towards his savior that was on the other side of him, and kissed her on the cheek softly. He pulled back, and whilst looking down to her from his height, he smiled, before he walked out with Alex.

As Wes stepped down off the porch of Trinity's cabin, hearing the woman call out to him as he left, “Wes! Thank you!” He glanced back towards the cabin, giving a salute although he knew she couldn't see him, "Welcome." He was about to head back towards his cabin, when his stomach growled. He hadn't realized how hungry he was, and he knew he had nothing in his cabin other that Coke and Beer... He totally snuck some in while everyone else was busy playing tame the monster. With a sigh, he turned his direction towards the main hall, hooking his thumbs in his belt loops as he slowly walked up the grassy hill towards the building.

Wes entered the main hall just as Ajax kissed Andy on the cheek. Obviously the dude he carried was alive and kicking, so the minotaur rider must have done something right by sucking the poison out of him. Wes shivered slightly at just the thought of tasting a blood/poison mixture. Disgusting. Wes couldn't help but take the moment to tease, "Only seems fair that now he gets to put his lips on you." He motioned towards Ajax then Andy, referring to how the girl had had her mouth all over him when she extracted the poison.

He wormed his way passed everyone to begin searching cabinets for food, grabbing more than enough to make himself a sandwich. While he found the ingredients he needed, Ajax, Alex left, followed by Andy shortly after. As he began preparing some of the food, he glanced over his shoulder slightly seeing another blonde that must have arrived at camp while he was in his cabin. He grinned towards the beauty as he finished up his meal, leaning against the counter as he took a bite, "Well are you easy on the eyes," He winked towards Veronica as he took another large bite. After finishing the sandwich, Wes walked past the blonde, sending her a flirty smile before he exited the main hall and headed back to his cabin.

Andy looked towards the door when Ajax said, "No need.. she's here." Seeing Alex just about sprint towards her brother, Andy quickly slipped her arm from around his waist, dodging the girl just before she met her brother in a hug. As they hugged, Alex glanced towards her with a happy smile. She returned the smile with a nod in a silent "you're welcome." Ajax spoke up, "Okay, I think we should all call it a night, it's been a long one."Andy was about to head out, seeing as how she was no longer needed now that Alex was there, when she felt Ajax's lips against her cheek. It took her by surprise, causing her to blush slightly as she looked to see him smiling down towards her. Not paying attention to the entrance, she didn't hear Wes enter. Her gaze quickly adverted when she heard Wes say, "Only seems fair that now he gets to put his lips on you."

If Andy was blushing before, her face was bright red now. She brought her hand up to scratch her head, making her way towards the door, she figured Alex would catch her brother up with everything he missed. She glanced over her shoulder towards them both, "You should catch him up... Just don't make me seem like some amazing hero." She chuckled then added, "I'll find you in the morning to check on your wound," She pointed towards his abdomen, before slipping out of the main hall.

Heading out to find her cabin, Andy began to head in the general direction where she saw some of the other campers must have been going. She figured that maybe they were going to the cabins, but she stopped when she saw Daniel. She had been trying to talk to him several times since she'd been there, and seeing as how he was alone she jogged over to him, hoping they'd get a chance to talk. "Hey! Daniel!" She called out to him before closing the distance. Once she was before him, she realized she didn't really know what to say, "Ummm... Know where the Hecate cabins are?" She said with a chuckle, raising a brow towards him.

Daniel hadn't even known he had somehow earned her respect so soon in the one day of meeting her so the threat to losing it, didn't sit as seriously as it should have. He thought she was hot and confident but that's all he knew. Daniel looked in her eyes as she held his hand. Even when it was just the two of them in the dark, he looked around, wishing she'd stop trying to butter him up or romance him. It's what personally made him uncomfortable but he endured it, letting her hand slowly slip from him. Seeing her watch him as she left made him sigh out through his nose, wishing she'd just turn around and get to the damn hall rather than make it look like a sad break-up to a bad romance movie. Daniel waved after her with his fingers twiddling then relaxed once she was inside the distant hall.

He shoved his hands in his pockets and continued to roam. "Hey!Daniel!" Again! Another midnight call out to him!? He spun to the female voice then relaxed blinking. "Andy! Hi!" He didn't know who he was expecting that would spoil all the busy adventuring he was doing on camp. He watched and waited for her next line of speech then smiled. "Wherever you want, sis," he answered. "The perk of being Hecate's kid." Daniel shrugged. "But my one is...well, I'll show you" He began to walk and checked she was following. Either way, she was gonna find her own but generally they placed siblings nearby so he may have spared her some time. Unless it was a bad attempt for conversation and sibling bonding and she knew where she was placed.

"So, heck of a first day, huh? Jumping on a minotaur and not looking back." He laughed. "Then treating a poisoned Zeus kid."

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤBoth Alex, and Ajax smiled at Wes's comment before they were completely outside, but Alex slowed down a moment to catch what Andy was saying to her, and chuckled. "Not promising anything." she joked with a wink, and Ajax nodded to Andy about seeing him in the morning about his wound. As they both headed to their camp, Alex began to fill him in on everything that he had missed since he had been stuck in the underworld for a bit, and then accidentally poisoned. "I tried to just slow it down, but.. it only made things worse." Alex had a tendency to blame herself for a lot of things, especially when others could of been killed. She was being too hard on herself though, she knew that. Everyone was still in training, so no-one could blame her for her bravery. At least she was the first one to try to defuse the situation a little. No-one had thanked her for at least giving it a shot, but oh well. Everyone was still breathing, so that was good.

She kicked a small stone out of her path whilst heading through the dark woods with her brother, and soon arrived at their Cabin which was high in the treetops. They both smiled at each other, and tried to kick off the ground faster than the other one before taking flight, and landing right on the wooden porch where it was glowing a soft orange red from the little lamps that hung by the front door. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like to get the chance to actually visit Dad like Hades's offspring's can to the Underworld?" "No, and I don't think I'd even want to. Let's get inside though, okay? it's getting cold." he went to go inside, but she stopped him, causing him to take one small step back with his eyes on her. Alex knew it wasn't the cold that he wanted to avoid, it was the conversation about their father.

"Wait.. why do you hate him so much? he explained everything to us."
"Al, not tonight, okay? I'm getting tired, and I need to rest with what happened." he knew why she was bringing their father up though, because she was missing him. The storm that lingered around camp had reminded her of him. "You're right, I'm sorry. I just.. I need him. I need to see him." He cupped the back of her neck with his right hand, causing her to close her eyes as he kissed her forehead. "We'll talk more in the morning. I promise. Don't think too much on it." He went inside then, leaving Alex by herself leaning against a wooden post. She was lost in her own thoughts. Tomorrow was going to be better, she was going to make damn sure of that.

Once he got inside, he headed to the closet in his room, and pulled out one of the thick fleece blankets off of the shelf. He knew his sister too well, so he knew that she wasn't going to be able to sleep until she had sorted out her head, and put herself at peace for the night. So with the blanket, he headed back out, and placed the blanket it around her, causing her to look at him with a smile. He always looked after her. "I don't want you catching a cold." Alex took one corner of it in her hand as he wrapped it around her gently, making sure that she was properly covered up. Ajax knew she could of just started a fire in the fire pit that close by, but he thought a blanket would just be more comforting with how she was feeling.

"Don't stay up too late okay? we got another long day tomorrow. I'm going to be training you myself for a bit, and maybe someone can help if they can." Alex was excited about tomorrow for sure, even in this mood she was in for the time being. Least it gave her something to look forward to. It was good to be here at camp in general, but now that Ajax was alright again, it was even better. She felt much safer with having her big brother by her side. With her now holding the blanket around herself, and wrapping it tightly around her frame with her arms underneath it also, she looked back slightly over her shoulder as her brother headed back inside.

"...Thanks for the blanket." Ajax heard her say as he paused in the door way, and smiled to her. "Remember, not too late." Alex nodded, then Ajax vanished inside to get himself to bed. Alex loved it out here. The camp was dark, but you could see everyone's light at their cabins, and even at the lake where Poseidon's daughter was. Whilst leaning her head on the post with her shoulder, Alex drifted through her thoughts in silence as her eyes took in breathtaking sights of the night. She was a fool for coming on so strongly with Daniel before, but she wasn't going to apologize for it. Not this time. Good thing about it, was he did actually get to kiss her back.

Now Ajax was in bed, he lay with just his boxers on with one arm up and behind his head with his muscles tensing slightly as he moved to get a bit more comfortable on his back. He let out a sigh, closed his eyes, and just lay there waiting for sleep to take him.

Daniel didn't get the perfect sleep he thought he had earned and he couldn't figure out for the love of the Gods why. It could have been likely that his mind was working over time on dealing with the fact that he had a new tormenting sister that had actually hit puberty. Or maybe it was how he had half shut down Alex.

It took him a while to physically decide to get out of bed and do something with his conscience. And naturally, that meant selecting the easier choice and heading to Andy's little quaint glass cabin she took a liking to. Daniel knocked and waited and repeated but she was obviously out and about and not a girl that loved her sleep-ins. He sighed out a little, pulling out a sticky-pad and pen. "Why would you make things easy?" Daniel scrawled a note on it that read;
Missed your weird Hocus Pocus fingers this morning.
Should catch up later.
The 1 of 2 things Hecate did right. And stuck it to her cabin door. Daniel looked around and sighed out in defeat before roaming in Zeus' cabins direction.

So Alex and he hadn't parted on the greatest terms he figured. And she might have felt something like a fool and he didn't want her feeling that way to take a chance to kiss him. By all standards it was a good momentary kiss. But like every romance film had told him, there were ways of redemption. That usually had to be equally as foolish.
Daniel braced himself for the mad idea he had stirring in his brain and without further ado, summoned some speakers with a

microphone to look the part. He hit the play button and let Maroon 5-Sunday Morning play.
He sang the beginning looking down, as if warming up his own confidence but once he hit the chorus he allowed himself to get swept up in the song, looking up to their cabin and smiling, expecting Alex to show, staring down on him with a big bright grin and appreciate the gesture. "That may be all I need, In darkness, she is all I see. Come and rest your bones with me. Driving slow on Sunday morning, And I never want to leave."
Even Daniel thought he was selling it. Heck, he was getting into it, moving his shoulders and finding a bounce in his legs as he kept singing.

ᆤᆤᆤᆤᆤAlex had been sitting in her room when she woke up, but not just sitting their like an emotionless zombie, she was getting changed, fixing up her hair, and putting on some light make-up as she never wore that much. Natural beauty was always best. Once she was completely done, she headed out into the lounge area, but paused mid couple of steps as she realized who Ajax was talking to. "We might be able to get you to visit dad." he knew this news was going to bright up her day, and by the look on her face that was beginning to glow!? Ajax grinned as he waited for his sister to dive on him with hugs and kisses. But she didn't. She was frowning with him as they heard speakers or something come on outside in the woods. "What's that?" Ajax got up from where he was sat, and followed her to the window.. it was Daniel.

Happiness was visible on her face as she saw him holding up a mic he had conjured with his neat magic, and began to sing the song he had chosen perfectly for her with it mentioning storms, and how he felt about her in a way. He looked so adorable, and her heart was pounding with excitement. He had gotten up early to do this for her? his voice was remarkable. She looked to Ajax then, and he sighed out, giving her a nod as permission to go outside to him. Alex excitedly hooked her arm around her brothers neck, quickly kissed his cheek, and headed outside with no delay. Ajax looked to his friend. "She deserves this after what she's been through during the first day of camp."

Once outside, her hands held onto the wooden railing before she swiftly {like a ninja} swung herself over it, and began to fly down to the ground where Daniel was. She landed slightly crouched a couple of paces in-front of him, and began to straight up with a grin on her face. Her eyes danced over him as she kept that smile in place, and her cheeks flushing softly as she waited for him to finish.

He made his way to the center of camp, coming to a halt when he saw that no one was there. "If everyone sleeps into noon here, how are we supposed to get anything done?" With a sigh he began to walk towards the main hall. His stomach was growling and he definitely needed some substance to get him going through the day. And coffee... lots of coffee. As he made his way up the hill he could have sworn he began to hear someone playing, no singing Maroon 5? "The hell?" He brought his finger up to wiggle in his ear as if cleaning it out, before wiping his eyes. "It is too damn early for this."

Andy jogged through the woods upon the trails heading towards the Zeus cabin. As she neared it she slowed down to a stop at the edge of the tree line when she saw her brother emerge with... A microphone? She laughed to herself. "What the hell is he doing?" She whispered to herself, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned against a nearby tree. Then it happened. He was singing. Andy had to cough back a laugh and dip behind a tree so he didn't see her. It was cute... And she was going to give him sooooo much shit later.

Andy knew that to go up to the cabin he was going to see her, but she decided to wait a little so he wouldn't stop. She assumed it was for Alex. She didn't know what happened between the both of them after they left her alone with Ajax last night but she could only assume he fucked up royally to be pulling nearly a John Cusack Say Anything in the middle of camp. When she peaked her head around the tree, Alex was now outside smiling bigger than she'd seen most girls smile. It was sweet. Andy had half a mind to join in and make it a duet until she saw the excitement in Alex's face. Shaking her head, she took a deep breath before spinning around the tree into a jog to make it look like she just happened to stumble upon this.

Merely raising a brow in their direction, she started up the stairs of the porch, coming to a stop before the door. Glancing over her shoulder towards Daniel, she smiled while shaking her head and giving him a thumbs up. He did good. Andy couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever meet a guy that would do something so sweet for her. But she quickly shook her head and shook off the idea. It was silly anyways. With that she raised her hand to knock upon the door. Glancing down she saw her bruised stomach. With a gasp she quickly untied the hoodie from around her waist, slipping her arms through the sleeves before zipping it up high enough to mask the purples and blues. It wasn't like Ajax hadn't seen it already, but she felt the need to be more modest around him, she didn't know why. She didn't care what most people saw in her or thought of her but she cared what he did. God dammit she thought to herself, practically telling herself to shut up as she waited at the door.

He mustn't have totally been screeching like an off-chorus bird, otherwise he wouldn't have received Alex's enlightening grin a few paces away from him or his sister's in the distance. Sister!? Oh crap. Daniel grinned and blocked her off playfully as if shielding the sun from his eyes, putting his hand over her figure awaiting Ajax to answer the door. Meanwhile Daniel had to keep powering through Maroon 5 then smiled back to Alex. He pulled the mic away as he finished and grinned to her. Daniel thought this was the part where they fill in the silence since he had just finished singing at her. But he didn't like silences, particularly after such a moment. "So..." he couldn't help but glance to his sister with a nervous kind of smile. He was going to receive so much endless teasing for this. "Do you want to get breakfast with me?" he asked returning his gaze to Alex.

Daniel assumed to lead the way and looked back to her. "Come on," he said with a friendly head gesture and smile.

David woke up grumbling, prepared to face the day. The day where training should officially commence. First day was all that introduction, orientation bull crap that ironically was bombed with family reunions and a bull type creature. Before David served himself, and got into that whole "don't kill every mortal you touch", he had a sister to speak with.

As he headed to the kitchen area, the typical ambush point he wasn't surprised to find her up and about already. "Jenn." David paced to her table and sat across from her. "What the hell happened yesterday with Zeus' son and you?" He demanded. He closed his eyes and swallowed ready for another attempt. Jennova had met the point of some blade after all and probably had a rough night herself. And even if he disagreed with some of her actions, she was his sister. "Could you please clarify what happened in your absence of a Minotaur battle," he rephrased, stern but calm.

Alex was still impressed by Daniel's romantic/cute little gesture. No guy had ever done this type of stuff for her, so she liked him even more for taking up his own time to perform like that for her. She felt like the luckiest Demigod on camp. She didn't notice Andy going to her Cabin's door, her mind was set on Hecate's son who was grinning at her. His nervousness didn't go unnoticed next to her confidence, so she gently touched his arm a little in hopes to reassure him that it was okay. He didn't need to be hugely charming or anything, she wanted him to be himself around her. His question made her grin again. Of course she'd go to breakfast with him, the two of them could then spend a little more time together, get to know each other a bit better over some scrambled eggs maybe? Her stomach was now growling. Hopefully he didn't hear it, but it was pretty loud as she placed the palm of her hand to her stomach. "Absolutely."

"Come on" with the smile he gave, and that head gesture of his!? She could of melted there and then. Why was she acting like a hormonal teen? - anyway, she sprung into a walk with him excitedly, keeping beside him as they headed towards the main hall with a little skip to her steps a couple of paces, but relaxed as she began to walk like a normal person. She wasn't embarrassed though, she just found her behavior odd.. even for her.

Training was soon, and Alex could not wait to get started. She wanted Daniel to help her if he had time, but for now!? they'd focus on getting something to eat, and worry about training later on. "Thank you," she said to him, holding her fingers in her hand that was wrapped around them. It was a little chilly this morning. "It was really sweet of you to do that for me, Daniel." She kissed his cheek once before walking beside him with a smile.

He had sorted out everything with Ajax before he walked out of the door that had been knocked on, causing Ajax's friend to pause out the door. "Oh, hey.. Jax, you got a lady out here who wants to see you I think." Jason smiled to her before heading off back to camp.

Ajax now came to the door, leaning against the frame with his shoulder, and folding both of his arms as he smiled at his visitor. He remembered that she was going to come check on him, but he was feeling fine. "Hey, you want something to drink?" he thought he'd ask. It was only polite seeing as she had made her way to this Cabin, which seemed to be quite a trek from her own. He was still grateful from her saving her life, so what-ever she needed him for today? he'd gladly accept, but he needed to train his sister a little first. "Or maybe some breakfast?" while he waited for Andy to answer him, he looked to where he thought his sister was with Daniel, but the both of them had left. Hopefully they were at camp grabbing something to eat, and nothing else. No, Alex wasn't like that, she wasn't easy like other girls that Ajax had met. He hated women who threw themselves at any, or every man. He turned his attention back to Andy within seconds of glancing over there.

Wes made his way to the main hall just as the dude with wings walked past him and headed towards the lake. He would have said hi or something but the guy seemed preoccupied. As he made his way inside, his face light up with excitement as he saw all the food that had been prepared. Not being shy, he made his way over to the pancakes, rubbing his hands together while licking his lips. "Come to Daddy." He whispered to himself as he prepared himself a heaping plate of pancakes and bacon, and then smothered everything in syrup. He was going to go take a seat where gloomy and gloomier sat but they seemed kinda focused on something important, and he wasn't in the mood to deal with that. So instead he made his way over to an empty table, setting his plate down.

As he was about to take a seat he saw Trinity enter and begin to make herself a bowl of cereal. Finally, someone I know. He thought to himself. "Hey blondie!" He called out towards her once she had finished preparing her food, motioning for her to come sit with him as he smiled towards her. Wes hated eating alone and he figured maybe she'd come at least join him compared to the darkness twins at the other table. He then took a seat, assuming she'd come over and began to chow down on his mountain of food.

Andy glanced over her shoulder in the direction of the lovers as they headed towards the main hall. She couldn't help but smile. Smile at how cute they are and at how much hell she's going to give her brother later. When she looked back towards the door, she was taken by surprise when a guy she hadn't seen before opened the door, causing her to falter back a step or 2. "Am I... at the wrong cabin?" She raised a brow curiously, feeling her cheeks flush slightly. That'd be her luck to end up at the wrong cabin and embarrass the crap out of herself. But the guy shouted back into the cabin, "Oh, hey.. Jax, you got a lady out here who wants to see you I think." She sighed a breath of relief when she heard the guy say that, smiling back towards him before he headed down the porch and left. She would have tried to introduce herself or something but she felt this whole situation took an awkward twist so instead she just let him walk off.

Andy glanced back towards the door to see Ajax propped in the door way. She couldn't help but smile back up towards him when she saw his smile. He then asked her, "Hey, you want something to drink? Or maybe some breakfast?" She was glad he asked, because she did forget a bottle when she went for a job, "Do you mind if I have a quick glass of water? I've been up working out and jogging for almost 2 hours and forgot to grab one." She laughed softly, "Then we can grab some breakfast... That's if you're hungry. Or you can go with your sister and Daniel." She motioned over her shoulder with her thumb. She was rambling, she wanted to tell herself to shut up. So she just finished it off with an innocent smile while glancing him over slightly. He looked pretty good for just about dying from poison and a stab wound. Andy was jealous, half wishing she was stabbed instead of thrown off a Minotaur. Then maybe she could have slept through the night and not be sore with every movement she made.

The pancakes were baked to perfection, like always. Adrian had done a lot of cooking for the camp over time as the main chief. She forked the left over pancakes as she thought about the day before, she felt a bit of regret that she had picked Zeus over her own father. A man that could have left her at an orphanage but instead took her to live with him in the Underworld. She knew she had to make it up to him somehow, or go back and talk to him. She didn't really want to be banned from the Underworld, and afterall family ]did come first. She looked up when she felt eyes on her and saw her brother looking dashingly charming as ever walking up towards her, she looked back at her plate and started to fork at her bacon instead as Dave sat across from her. It wasn't even a second later before he spoke. "What the hell happened yesterday with Zeus' son and you?" He had asked her.

Jennova dropped her fork and stared at him, she didn't exactly appreciate how rude he could be sometimes, she never did anything against him, besides that one time when they were kids...but that was different. She sighed and decided to eat a piece of her bacon. "Could you please clarify what happened in your absence of a Minotaur battle," Dave had tried again. Jennova smiled to herself before she looked up to meet his eyes. "I had thought our wonderful father had something to do with the minotaur, so I had made my way to the lake. Where I thought nobody was going to be.." She paused to look around the room, after seeing no Alex or Ajax she continued. "I turned a corner and ran into Alex, the eye balls fell out of my hand and the portal started. Short story, Ajax jumped in front of his sister and bam ended up with me." She shrugged as she took a bite of her pancakes, after she swallowed she continued. "Hades didn't ask any questions he just pulled out a knife, I didn't think just acted. I regret it." She told him honestly before looking up at him.

Adrian jumped as his finger got burned, he had been staring off into space too long and his cigarette had smoked itself. He looked around, not seeing much of anyone. He suddenly wondered where Clara was, usually she'd pop up and show herself at some point. He sighed as he put the filter of his cigarette in a small tin box he always carried around, he wasn't one for littering. Adrian knew that he should probably get some exercise in today, however he knew with the events that happened yesterday the training grounds would be packed. So instead of doing that, practicing in the field by his house was probably the best idea.

As he walked back to his house he past by the ever so stunning Alex that Ajax would rant about years before she had even showed up here. Walking beside her was Daniel, or so Adrian thought that was his name. "Good morning you two, I hope your night was better than your day." He told them as he stopped in his tracks, he met both of their eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Do you mind if I have a quick glass of water? I've been up working out and jogging for almost 2 hours and forgot to grab one." She laughed softly, "Then we can grab some breakfast... That's if you're hungry. Or you can go with your sister and Daniel." He smiled still, but looked off slightly as he parted his lips to answer her, as if he was pondering on what he wanted to actually do. "No, definitely not allowed to have water.. and I think I'll go with them.." he pointed his finger in the direction of Daniel, and his sister, pretending to just about walk off from Andy, but laughed a little as he bumped his shoulder lightly into hers. "Of course you can." He motioned his head for her to go inside before him. He was a gentleman like that when he truly wanted to be. "Definitely can go for breakfast. I'm starving." and he really was because his stomach was forming its own earthquake.

Even though he had been at this camp for some time before the others, it still somehow felt like he had only gotten here just yesterday. Everyone that he had met so far, had been fairly nice people. Especially Andy. Of course there was going to be the odd one or two that people didn't like, and Ajax wouldn't hate of them behind their backs. He'd tell them to their face if there was an issue with someone else, but there wasn't because everyone kept themselves to themselves for the most part, and helped each other when needed.

The Minotaur that Andy had ridden, and that Ajax had missed, was going to be the talk of the camp for a while until they all find something to move onto. Tonight was going to be different for everyone, because they weren't going to go to bed {if they didn't want to }, the camp was going to have a large campfire that they could sit around with beers, or what ever they wanted to drink, food, and plenty of music for this type of party. They could tell each other stories, or ghost stories. Some might think it's lame, but Ajax was going to attend it anyway. He wanted to hear some stories that others would be conjuring up with some luck.

She had been so caught up in the moment with Daniel, that she didn't see Adrian until the last minute. "Good morning you two, I hope your night was better than your day." she accidentally crashed into him, and blinked to see who she was focusing on with her eyes. "Oh hey, Adrian.. sorry I didn't notice you, or hear you." She chuckled, stepping back a little to give him some space, and remaining with Daniel who { for now } seemed a little quiet. "Daniel and I are just heading to get some breakfast.." she motioned her head lightly towards the main hall.

Today was going to be fun, because Alex really was looking forward to training with her brother. The both of them were a fair match, because they couldn't be effected by their bolts of charged lightening. "We're probably then going to do some training later. You teaming up with anyone?" Alex had to make sure, because she didn't like leaving anyone out, she didn't like leaving someone on their own unless she didn't like them. Like David for instance.

The Son of Hades was hers, and Ajax's rival, and she didn't trust him one bit, even if that idiot was handsome as hell. Daniel was better though.. much better. Fair enough, David tamed the Minotaur, give him a golden star.. but his father, and him, probably wanted her own Father dead. Alex wasn't going to let that happen. For many decades Zeus had been the King of the Gods, and everyone in mount Olympus was loyal to him, and would be until the very end, so even if Hades did manage to take the golden throne!? no-one would follow him unless it was out of fear. Hecate lived in the underworld, but she was the only one that could visit Mount Olympus. Zeus trusted her, and her only from that place.

"You Jerk!" They both laughed, and headed inside together after she said thank you for allowing her to get the water that she needed. He wished he had gone for his own Jog, but he'd do it tonight instead so it could help him sleep. This place was a little big, but what would anyone expect from Zeus's children? - he smiled as he watched Andy take in his cabin. He could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't used to seeing so much space, but no doubt her own was adorable and suited her well.

Ajax led the way into the kitchen, headed to the tall black and chromed fridge, and grabbed a bottle of water out of it for her. He always kept them in there to keep them cool. Cold water was always refreshing after anything. He was just about to hand the bottle to her, but she addressed his injury. "I still need to check that." she told him, causing him to look down to where she was pointing. He had almost forgotten about it.

Andy now crouched down, and began to lift up his flannel shirt to take a look at the now scabbed over deep cut. It didn't hurt anymore. "Amazing." Was her comment, and he chuckled. "Me, or the healing process?" he teased lightly.

She let go of his shirt, and stood back up before resting her hand on the counter. Ajax just adjusted his flannel a little more with his free hand as he listened to her, licking at his dry lips. "Now I wish that I had been stabbed instead playing Let's tame the Minotaur. Maybe then I would have actually slept." Ajax was now wishing he had been around to protect her. He knew his sister was trying to help at the time, but Ajax would of dealt with it a different way. He handed the bottle to her. "I think I have an ice pack.. could take any possible swelling down, and also numb the pain for you while you're healing." he suggested with wanting to help her. He knew exactly how she felt because he had been through something similar, but it wasn't a Minotaur.

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

He hugged her back, and regretted talking about it; because all he wanted to do now!? was avoid anymore memories slipping back in where they weren't wanted. Steering his attention away from his dead ex-girlfriend, Ajax smiled to her a little. "We should head to camp and get some food. We'll figure something out with the barrier." He didn't doubt that. Andy was probably right, Hecate's offspring's were probably the only ones capable of tampering with the barrier, but they had to be careful not to make the wrong spell. It would wipe out the entire barrier, allowing anything, and everything to just stroll on in. Even Mortals. "I don't know about you, but I can't concentrate when I'm hungry." he chuckled. He motioned his head to the door. "Race you to the main hall?" he challenged.

Now he could cheat by either flying, or moving at lightening speed, but he couldn't do that to her. Maybe he would a little, but not too far just to tease her. He remembered racing with Alex when she was younger, causing her to have an accident that Ajax blamed himself for. "Don't be silly, AJ, accidents happen. She tripped, that's all." his mother would reassure him as she placed a band-aid on his little sister's wound. He was definitely protective of her then, and protective of her now.

He assumed that Andy was behind him when he headed out, and was soon running off to hide somewhere. She'd think that he had left her, but he was no more than a few feet ahead of her, waiting for her to make her way towards him.

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: Teal

Alex was still talking to Adrian, but she excused herself from him. Sorry, I.. gotta go." She pointed her thumb back over her shoulder towards the main hall. "I'm really hungry.. bye for now." she gave him one hug, and then headed off to the hall where she saw the others going about their morning, and Daniel sitting on his own for the time being. She grabbed a bowl of cereal, poured in the milk, grabbed a spoon, then sat with him while happily filling her stomach that was aching with how hungry she was. She had fallen sick too, but it would pass once she's full. "Sorry about that, Daniel.." She said softly after swallowing. "any plans for today?" luckily she had come to the hall, because no doubt her brother would be here shortly, and he'd be worrying about if Daniel had lost her which would be stupid, because why would Daniel lose her?

As she consumed the rest of her cereal, she glanced around the hall. Wes and Trinity were happily flirting with each other, David and Jennova were discussing something that she couldn't hear, and neither did she want to because it was probably something to do with their father. Alex hated him because Hades had always tried his best to gain Zeus's throne, and he wasn't going to rest until he accomplishes his mission. Over my dead body.

Wes held new intrigue over her as he stood and replied he had his own tricks up his sleeves. And Trinity didn't doubt he did have several that could counter the power of Ares but she was already guessing what they could be and how they could be executed. The poison of being a war head's daughter, always trying to figure others out, or at least in terms of techniques. She pushed her bowl with her fingertips towards him and his manners allowing him to do the one task for her seeing as it was simple enough but also a kind gesture in its way. Every other help or kind gesture she refused so he could do just this one if he insisted. "I look forward to seeing them," she said after a moment, genuinely interested.

Trinity rose from her seat having a full day to tend to. The main hall was filling up anyway and she didn't like over crowded places, which in her instance, didn't have to be many in one spot for her to consider it crowded. "See you around, Wes." As she passed, she thought of smacking Daniel upside the head but he had company. Overly emotional company as it ran in Zeus' kids. Instead, she pulled on a handful of his hair roughly as if an old buddy-buddy greeting. "Hey Daniel. Alex" That was Trinity's own 'I'm right here' and 'this isn't over' message to him. In case he forgot he put her through hell last night then she had a hellish dream of Adrian.

She headed back to her cabin and shuddered. It wasn't that Adrian was bad looking but why she had such a dream about him was worrying.Great kisser and fighter though as far as dreams went. When she reached her cabin she was glad the cleaning was a mission because she needed her thoughts elsewhere. Back on track.

Cabin-->Training Area-->Cabin-->Kitchen

Melissa had gotten onto campus in the middle of the previous night, some time after everyone had gone to sleep. After spending the night unpacking the few things she hadn't left at her cabin the previous year and getting Shadow, Demon, and Rage settled in Melissa had left long before dawn. Being an insomniac Melissa didn't get much sleep and so, while the sun began to rise she was in the training room beating the crap out of various dummies and punching bags. A few hours later, just before the majority of campers awoke, Melissa quickly walked the path back to her cabin to shower. Where as most Ares children resided near the training area Melissa had chosen a cabin in a wooded area of camp. Though she was the only one who lived in the cabin it could easily fit five people in it comfortably, even with Rage, Shadow, and Demon running around, the only reason it had been unoccupied being that it was so secluded and at least a 15 minute walk to the center of camp. Tripping over her three dogs, Melissa went and took a quick shower before getting changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a black crop top. Leaving the cabin Melissa headed down the path that led to the center of camp. Noticing that a few campers had already started to leave their cabins Melissa added her 'resting bitch face' to her outfit.

Making her way to the main hall Melissa slipped into the kitchen shortly after Adrian left, double checking that no one saw her as she did so. She didn't know why she kept her baking, and occasional cooking, a secret. Often she told herself it was because it would ruin her 'bad-ass, Don't mess with me' reputation but truly she felt there was something else keeping her from others knowing. As she looked around the kitchen Melissa ducked to get past the window that made part of the kitchen visible to the dining room. Once passed it she rose and, seeing Adrian's dishes in the sink, Melissa smiled. Shaking her head Melissa walked over and, quickly washing the dishes, including a few items she needed to bake, she set the others aside to dry. Cleaning off a counter out of view of the dining room Melissa decided to make a large batch of chocolate chip cookies. Though usually she wouldn't do something so big in the middle of the day, afraid of getting caught, her oven back home in New York had broken two months ago and she had missed baking. 'I can't believe I've gone three (or was it four now?) years here and not once has anyone caught me baking... I wonder if anyone has figured out it was me...' Shaking her head she focused on what she was doing, grabbing canisters of flour and sugar for the cookies and walking back to the pantry not wanting to forget any of the ingredients. A few minutes later, all the things she needed on the counter she had cleared, Melissa set about measuring the ingredients.

California-->Camp Athens-->Main Hall

*As the car drove them closer and closer to the airport Narissa left out an annoyed sigh and shot a pointed glare at Lachlan. After her father had found her in Paris three days ago he had brought her back home and she had locked herself in her room. That night she had tried to sneak out her window only to be caught by her older brother Lachlan. Poseidon and Lachlan had decided to send her to Camp Athens as a 'last resort'. Narissa couldn't decide if she was excited or pissed, on one hand she had wanted to go to Camp Athens for years but on the other hand she was being forced to go whether she wanted to or not. She hadn't talked to Lachlan or their father since the two had told her and it seemed to be really getting on Lachlan's nerves, especially since Narissa was rarely so quiet. "Nari come on. What did you expect us to do? You just disappeared with no explanation and honestly your behavior hasn't been exemplary as of late. Did you really expect neither of us to be worried?" Narissa gave him a look of cool indifference and then looked away and he gave her a glare colder than her own had been. "Fine, be that way. I hope your stay at Camp Athens fixes your attitude." Moments later they pulled up to the airport and Narissa grabbed her carry-on bag, a black backpack, and got out. "There's nothing to fix."*

Narissa let out annoyed sigh as she stood at the entrance to Camp Athens. The scene with her brother had stopped there as she had refused to talk to him afterwards, not even to say goodbye. She had seen the hurt look on his face as she left him to board the plane without looking back but she had forced herself to ignore it. The plane ride afterwards had been uneventful, boring even since she had spent the majority listening to music and staring out the window blankly or sleeping. Afterwards one of Lachlan's friends, whom he had met going to Camp Athens and who lived in Greece, had been there to drive her to camp.
With another sigh Narissa entered the camp, dragging her luggage with her, which consisted of a large rolling suitcase, a sightly smaller suitcase she held in her left hand, a huge duffel bag and a backpack. To say the least it was all extremely heavy. Stopping and looking around Narissa saw a few people around but most were in conversations with others and Narissa didn't want to bug anyone. Seeing a decent size building ahead Narissa decided to head towards it, hoping to find someone who could tell her where the hell she was supposed to go. and what she was supposed to do. Despite her horrid mood she plastered a smile onto her face, hoping to look more approachable, and started towards the building.

Andy could quickly tell that the topic bothered him. Maybe she shouldn't have hugged him or... She didn't know. She brought a hand up to rub the back of her neck, nodding her head at his comment, "We should head to camp and get some food. We'll figure something out with the barrier." She quickly tried to put what he told her behind her. She appreciated that he shared something so personal with her. It meant a lot. But she could tell it was difficult to talk about and she didn't want to dwell on it. She didn't like seeing him sad. "I don't know about you, but I can't concentrate when I'm hungry." She laughed softly, shrugging her shoulders. "You men are like garbage disposals... Always hungry." She teased. She couldn't tell if she was hungry herself, but she knew she needed to eat. She wasn't going to say no to some bacon either.

Andy gasped when Ajax said, "Race you to the main hall?" Then ran off out of the kitchen, disappearing into his cabin, presumably darting towards the main hall. She laughed before shouting after him, "CHEATER!" She pushed off the counter as she began to run after him. Grasping the doorway to the kitchen, she whipped herself into the hallway and sprinted for the door. Damn he's fast! And here she thought she was a pretty good sprinter. Reaching the front door she ran through it out onto the porch. Instead of taking the steps up to the door, she jumped clear over them and landed in the dirt a few feet away.

Wes winked towards trinity as she said, "See you around, Wes." He nodded his head towards her as he took her bowl, stacking it on top of his plate, "Yeah... Catch you later blondie." He liked the fiery Ares daughter. Not like he was going to try to sleep with her or anything. But he enjoyed the banter they had. He could see them becoming those friends that like to piss each other off. He watched her leave, bugging Alex and Daniel on her way out. Which reminded him. He made his way over to the duos table, setting the dishes down as he sat down for a second. "How's the brother doing?" He directed his question towards Alex. Wes didn't know the guy but he figured it was polite conversation to ask about Ajax since he carried him to the hall and what not.

Then Wes glanced over towards Daniel. "I had a little... tussle with your sister on the trails this morning." He grinned mischievously. "She's a hottie." He winked at the Hecate boy before standing back up and grabbing the dirty dishes he was carrying. He headed towards the kitchen, stopping as he almost reached the door to turn and look at Daniel, adding one final comment, "Might have to stop by and see her later... If you know what I mean." He raised his brows suggestively before ducking into the kitchen.

He was laughing to himself as he entered, almost missing the blonde that was baking away. He quietly made his way over to the sink, setting the dishes in it. Then he quietly moved up a few feet behind the girl, leaning his elbow on a near by counter. Smirking, he cleared his throat to alert her of his presence before he spoke, "Whatcha making there?" He looked towards the food then back at her. "I mean I just ate," He rubbed his stomach, "But I could make some room." He teased seeing as how whatever she was making smelled and looked amazing.

David's intention was to have his say and slip out the door but the girl had decided to ask him if he could help her out. And David didn't know why but he actually stopped, giving his attention to the girl. "Um. Well normally Ajax over there takes care of the newbies," David threw a thumb back vaguely. "But we should probably give him a break." He heard himself say as he caught the way she was eyeing him and the face that implied bad intentions. Slowly, his own smirk crept across his features. Before all the hell started going on behind him. He stepped beside the new girl watching the scene unfold in all the tattooed girl's unjustified rage. It was a scary thing actually. Daddy issues, obviously. Why else would she be so mad and unpleasant. Especially since it looked like she pursued the guy for a fight.

"Uhh...." he blinked trying to change subject and get out before the crazy bitch started a fight with David just for looking in her general direction. "So...who...whose child are you?" he resumed to ask. David picked up one of her bags in prompt to leave and show the girl to her cabin. There were plenty of other opportunities to watch a fight.

Daniel had blinked and Wes was moving in on his sister. Daniel shifted uncomfortably and sat a little taller. The child of Aphrodite was dislike-ably too close to her. Daniel narrowed his eyes as Wes played with her hair and laid one on Andy Just her cheek he had to remind himself to stay calm. But his favorite bit of all was Andy knocking her elbow back into his sensitive area which is when Daniel lit up again, proud to be associated with her. On some level he should have sympathized with the poor guy but Wes asked for it. Obviously Andy was the type to take care of herself.

Daniel's gaze flickered to the ink covered girl marching up to Wes while down and pushing him out of the door of the dining area. Daniel rose and followed. Not to be the kind to gather and chant 'fight, fight, fight' for once but because Wes had already received his punishment and it didn't need to excess to brutality. Wes was a minor nuisance was all. He saw the hard swung punch covering his mouth "Oooo! Shit" Daniel dragged his hand down to his jaw. What the heck had the guy done to piss her off so much?

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

Ajax wasn't the one for fights among themselves unless there was a hard explained reason for it. Usually though, he'd sit in the background silently unless Alex was involved. He had just witnessed a girl covered in ink, and Andy hit Wes for coming onto them. Wes deserved it in some way, but then again.. he was the son of Aphrodite after all, so what did they expect? but a punch to the face was a bit over the line. "That's enough!" he ordered as he climbed off of his bench, bellowing in a deep voice like his father Zeus, whilst leaving his food on the table half finished.

"This hall is for everyone to have breakfast, to relax before training. If you got an issue!? then take it outside. Now!" Ajax was looking to both Wes, and Melissa as he pointed his finger towards the exit. He wasn't going to tell them again. He knew people weren't going to be happy with him breaking up some fight, but if they wanted to watch a tussle!? then they could join them outside too. He wanted to eat in peace. "We don't have time to fight over petty little things, we got a war coming. Just tell him you're not interested, and leave it at that. If he doesn't leave you alone? then you can hit him again." he smiled to her now, and looked to Wes. "Really isn't your day.." Ajax then wandered back to his food.

While everyone else was too busy arguing, or just watching the drama in the hall, Alex heard the messenger of the Gods flutter in after Daniel had explained what he was going to be doing. "Alexandria Valis?" He called out, holding a letter in his hand. Alex put her hand up into the air, causing him to fly over to her in his winged boots, then handed the letter to her before taking off out of the hall. It was a letter from her father. She slowly sat back down onto her bench, and opened up the envelope before taking out the letter carefully, then unfolded it before her before reading it out loud in her head.

Zeus couldn't really write much, because it had to remain a secret, and that is what was written down after he told them to go see him. She looked up after finishing the letter, and found her brother looking in her direction with a questionable look on his face. So, she motioned her head towards the door, causing Ajax to get up after finishing his food, and followed his sister outside, then to the side of the building out of sight. She gave him the letter so he could read over it for himself.

"I think dad's onto something important, big brother, which would make sense if you think about it, because the offspring of Hades have been pretty-damn-edgy since they got back from the underworld. I don't trust either of them, even if the female did save you." Sure her brother would understand, because their Fathers were natural rivals. Zeus was the most powerful, and Hades was the most Jealous. "Then we go see dad and see what he has to say. But if anything happens between now, and then? you go alone, or with someone you trust. Okay?" He tilted his chin down towards his chest as he looked to his sister. "Okay." he felt a but. "No but's, Al. You're my responsibility." Alex nodded before folding up the letter after taking out the key from the envelope, and stuffing it into her bra. No-one would dare look for it there.

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: Teal

Alex hadn't been gone long with her brother, but soon as she stepped back into the hall, she saw Andy helping Wes who looked beaten. What the..? she wandered over to them with a frown. When she saw Wes had been slugged by someone, she placed her hand on his arm and looked at him with concern. "Are you alright? who did this to you?" she looked to Andy to see if she also had the answers. Why were others so hostile? she turned her attention back to Wes a second. "Looks like it's going to bruise up for a while." she patted his shoulder gently with furrowed brows.

How the hell were they going to survive in a war if they couldn't even keep themselves together. Whoever had hit him, was way out of line, and Alex would happily shock them with a couple of bolts. Luckily she wasn't that evil, or cruel.

Everything was turning to shit today, so it seemed, and Alex had felt bad for not helping out in this current situation, but with her Father sending the letter that was still hidden away with a key inside of her bra, she had basically been within her own little world. Being the Daughter of Zeus, she was naturally protective of others. Anyway, she was here now, and that was all that mattered. "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked gently. Wes was a good guy, she could tell.

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

After his sister had wandered off after showing him the letter, he remained where he was for the time being. He was conflicted with himself like always. Half of him wanted to desperately see his father again, to try and reconnect, to also give Zeus a chance to change, and make things right.. but the other half of him had given up, and couldn't give a damn if he never saw his father again.

Part of him kind of understood why Zeus couldn't stick around with his mortal lover, but why didn't he just take his family to Mount Olympus? of course, there was a barrier stopping mortals from passing into the realm of the Gods, but there was much more to it than that. He came to the conclusion though that he would just go anyway, because Alex needed the support, and Ajax desperately needed answers to what felt like a thousand questions that raced around inside of his head.

He placed himself down on the bench in-front of the hall, his knees shoulder width apart as he leaned his elbows on his thighs hunched over slightly, clasping his hands together with his eyes on the ground.

"Oooo! Shit" Melissa glanced up startled at the proclamation and during that moment Wes got to his feet, glaring. Melissa forced herself to look back at Wes, watching as he stood and spat blood out at her feet. "All this because of a stupid comment. You need to lighten up Goldilocks. You are lucky I don't believe in hitting a woman..."
"Woah woah woahhhh!" Melissa's gaze slid to Andy and her face lost all emotion as she calmed herself, watching the brunette who stepped in front of her. "I am pretty sure there is nothing that Wes could say that warrants him getting slugged in the face!... Unless he said he was going to sacrifice your first born child to Hades or something. And I don't need you fighting my battles for me. The only person I could possibly understand getting pissy about what he did, besides me, would be him." The brunette motioned towards another male. "But believe it or not I can take care of myself! How is it fair going berserk on a guy that wouldn't hurt a fly? You can't pick a fight with a guy who obviously would never hurt a woman.... He's harmless." As the other girl finished Melissa heard another person exit the hall and looked over to see Ajax. "This hall is for everyone to have breakfast, to relax before training. If you got an issue!? then take it outside. Now! We don't have time to fight over petty little things, we got a war coming. Just tell him you're not interested, and leave it at that. If he doesn't leave you alone? then you can hit him again." When at the end of his rant Ajax smiled at her Melissa almost gasped in surprise but managed to keep her face blank. "Really isn't your day.." Ajax said before turning and going back into the hall.
"If you're going to pick a fight... At least have the decency to do it with someone who can and will fight back." A pang of regret hit Mel as she turned away and walked into the kitchen, followed by the brunette who got ice and left without another word. Grabbing a bottle of pain relievers she kept in the kitchen for when she worked out too hard before coming to secretly cook Melissa went back out to the dining hall and walked over to Wes and the two girls with him to hear the end of their conversation. "Girl's got her panties in a twist." "A girl like that... Doesn't wear panties." The girl said before patting Wes' shoulder and then walked away. Clearing her throat to grab Wes and the other girl's attention Mel set he bottle down on the table Wes was sitting at. Not looking at him she spoke normally, trying to seem indifferent though she was a bit worried. "Take three at a time every four hours, that's how many I take after sparring." She turned to leave but then stopped and sighed. "If you want it I have a jar of healing balm from one of the Apollo kids I'm friends with in my cabin. After I throw the cookies in the oven I'm heading back there."

As Wes stood there, holding the ice pack to his jaw he heard someone approach but didn't look up at first. "Are you alright? Who did this to you?" When he realized who's voice it was, he glanced up to see Alex standing there in the room with him and Andy. Before he could speak Andy answered for him, "The tattooed blonde punched him. But I don't know if it was from what I did or...?" She looked towards him with a questioning glance, "What did you say to her?" Wes removed the ice from his jaw, stretching his face while making a strange pained expression before speaking. "I just asked her what she was making. Then when feathers told me I wasn't allowed in the kitchen, she... very rudely told me to leave. All I said was You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart." He shrugged his shoulders before reapplying the ice. Andy couldn't help but chuckle, "Sounds like something Daniel or I would say."

After Andy had left the room, Wes was slightly surprised that Alex had stayed around. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Just as he was about to respond, he saw the punch thrower enter the room. He tensed up, looking away from her while trying to bite his tongue. He glanced from the corner of his eyes as she set a medicine bottle on the table. "Take three at a time every four hours, that's how many I take after sparring. If you want it I have a jar of healing balm from one of the Apollo kids I'm friends with in my cabin. After I throw the cookies in the oven I'm heading back there." He grabbed the bottle, stepping in front of her before she left, holding it out towards her. "Thanks Doc. But I have my own pain killers." If that was her idea of a shitty apology, well he wasn't buying it. He moved away from her and went back over to Alex. In a gentlemanly way, he placed his hand on her upper back and led her out into the main eating area.

"Thanks Al. I think I'm alright." He managed a slight smile. He appreciated that she at least cared enough to wonder if he was ok and try to help him. It was no surprise to him that many of the people at camp didn't like him. But Alex didn't seem like everyone else and he was grateful for that. "I think you're the only person here that somewhat likes me." He laughed softly.

Andy felt like she had been sitting there stirring her yogurt for a good 5 minutes. With a sigh she finally stood up and threw out the remnants of her food, realizing she had lost her appetite. As she headed towards the exit of the main hall, she walked past Wes and Alex. She flashed them both a quick smile, raising her hand to pat him on the shoulder. "Hang in there Romeo." Andy then moved her gaze towards Alex, moving her hand to gently squeeze the girl's arm in a friendly manner before she exited the hall. Once she stepped outside she inhaled a deep breath of the fresh air, while slipping her hands into the pockets of her hoodie. She began to start walking towards the training area, but when she was a few feet away from the hall she looked back at the hall and saw Ajax sitting on a bench.

Normally Andy probably would have walked on because she never thought she was the best at comforting but he looked like something was bothering him. She slowly spun around, trudging over to him. She came to a stop, standing before him. "Hey..." She spoke quietly before moving to take a seat beside him, "Everything ok?" She looked over at him, the wind softly blowing the hairs that fell loose from her ponytail across her face. She waited a long moment before adding, "You know," Her tone was a little more playful this time, "You're cuter when you smile." She then giggled softly and smiled towards him. It was none of her business what was bothering him. And he didn't have to tell her. She just wanted him to have someone to talk to if he felt the need. And if not... Well she was always good at making people smile or laugh.

Wes looked up to her, and Alex smiled softly as she waited for him to say what had happened, but she looked to Andy who explained for him. "The tattooed blonde punched him. But I don't know if it was from what I did or...?" That annoyed Alex, because who gave that tattooed blonde the right to lay one on Wes? she kept silent for now, waiting for Wes's side of the story. "What did you say to her?" Alex returned her gaze to the poor guy, silently still waiting for him to tell her as she gently moved her hand from his arm. "I just asked her what she was making. Then when feathers told me I wasn't allowed in the kitchen, she... very rudely told me to leave. All I said was You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart." Andy chuckled, and Alex did too as a grin grew on her face while playfully nudging him. "I'm sorry this happened to you, Wes. I don't agree with men hitting women, and I don't agree with women hitting men. Your comment was just playful."

After Andy had left the room, Wes was about to say something, but that same damn blonde had appeared, causing Alex to glare over at her. If she was going to say one wrong thing to Wes, then Alex would happily give her a piece of her mind. Alex watched as she placed some kind of medicine on the table for him. This was no apology, it was more like trying to suck up to him, to kiss his ass. Alex didn't like her voice at this moment in time, let alone her presence entirely. Alex let Wes handle this, but she'd be ready to step in. Wes had practically told her to get lost, which caused Alex to smile again before he had his hand on her lower back, leading them both back into the hall away from that blonde. "Thanks Al. I think I'm alright." she was glad that he was. "You're welcome." she gently told him with her hand rubbing his back a little for a second before she pulled up a seat for him to take. "I think you're the only person here that somewhat likes me." Alex laughed too. "You're a good guy, Wes. I do like you, and I think Andy likes you too.. she did stand up for you after all, right?" Alex had heard Andy talking to that blonde, but she didn't know exactly what was said with being preoccupied with her Fathers letter. "I promise, that on my watch!? no one will hurt you again." she softly told him, rubbing the top of his arm before taking a seat in-front of him. She gently cupped his face now with both of her hands, looking at the bruising that was beginning to surface. "That Girl is a monster. On a scale of one to Ten.. how much does it hurt?"

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

Ajax had been in his own world, but the second he heard "Hey..." he knew who it was, and looked up to her. "Hey.." It was nice of her to check on him, so he wasn't about to turn her away. "Everything ok? - You know," she had added before he could think of an answer. "You're cuter when you smile." Ajax couldn't help but smile now, and chuckled during her cute little giggles. He wanted to tell her, she was after all probably the second person to trust here after his little sister.. but their father didn't want anyone to know about the letter, or the key. Why it was a secret, he had no idea.. But he was going to find out everything soon. "Better? he asked because he was now smiling. He nudged her gently with his arm, and slid up the bench closer to her before draping his arm around her shoulders. "Everything's fine.. I'm just at some crossroads in my life. I can't say what dad sent us in a letter.. but he wants me to visit him, with Alex. I'm not sure I want to see him." Ajax didn't hate him; hate him, but he didn't exactly like him either. He still had resentment towards Zeus for abandoning him, and Alex. "He doesn't deserve a son after everything he's done. He left us."

He couldn't remember one single moment in his life where his Father was even there for them, it had been his mother, and her boyfriend who took care of them. His step father had his own son too, which Ajax treated like a little brother. He knew his mother had a good eye for nice, decent people. They were amazing, so Ajax didn't mind that they were joining the family.

"You're a good guy, Wes. I do like you, and I think Andy likes you too.. she did stand up for you after all, right?" Wes chuckled softly, his lips curving into a slight smile. "I don't know if that girl's got an evil bone in her body... She seems pretty selfless." It was true what Alex said though, Andy did go stand up for him which he appreciated. "I swear though... I thought there was going to be a straight up brawl." He let out another light hearted chuckle, while leaning in to whisper to Alex. "I would have put my money on Andy." He moved to take a seat, removing the ice momentarily to move his jaw around. "I promise, that on my watch!? no one will hurt you again." Wes smiled slightly as he played with the ice pack. "Thanks Bolts but I don't think your brother is too fond of me. Don't wanna stir the nest." He appreciated that she wanted to stick up for him though. Alex was probably the closest thing to a friend he had because she actually didn't mind being in his presence. It was nice though, he felt more comfortable around her and she was probably the only girl at camp that he wouldn't make a move on... Just to keep this friendship or whatever you'd call it.

Wes smiled up towards her when she rubbed his arm. Then watched her as she took a seat in front of him. His eyes widened in surprise when she cupped his face in her hands almost as if assessing a child's injuries. "That Girl is a monster. On a scale of one to Ten.. how much does it hurt?" He wasn't much of a serious person, so at first he decided to tease her a bit. "Oh I don't know," He rolled his eyes dramatically. [color=#39b54a]"I think I'm dying... There's a light! Should I go towards it!?" He couldn't hold that charade for long before he broke out in laughter. "It's like... a 2. I just won't be able to make out for awhile. So I guess my flirting will be kept a minimum for the time being." He reached for the ice, and reapplied it once Alex dropped her hands. "Plus, it's not like anyone is going to find this attractive." He pointed to his purple jaw. "Makes me look tough though." He grinned at Alex.

It didn't take long after Andy sat down with Ajax for a smile to grace his face. "Better?" He asked while bumping her with his arm before he slid over towards her. Once he sat side to side with her, he draped his arm over her shoulders. "There it is!" She grinned, "Look... Dimples." As she said it, she playfully raised her hand to poke one of his dimples with her index finger. She was glad that she could get a smile out of him, Andy didn't like seeing him anything but happy. After a moment, Ajax began to partially explain what was bothering him. "Everything's fine.. I'm just at some crossroads in my life. I can't say what dad sent us in a letter.. but he wants me to visit him, with Alex. I'm not sure I want to see him." Every time she was with she, Andy felt him slowly open up more and more to her. It made her feel special because he didn't seem like the type of person that would wear his heart on his sleeve but he did around her. "He doesn't deserve a son after everything he's done. He left us."

Andy sighed softly, reaching her hand up to gently grasp his hand that laid on her shoulder. "I get it..." She shifted in her seat slightly, raising her free hand up to brush her loose hair behind her ears. "You know... I didn't even know my mother was alive until about a week ago." She looked over into his eyes, "She let me grow up thinking she was dead or abandoned me and my father. He'd never tell me about her other than she wasn't here. I spent my whole life thinking I was going crazy. I was doing things with my mind I couldn't explain and seeing people that weren't there... talking to them. They were ghosts, apparently that's a Hecate thing... Talking to ghosts I mean." She took a moment to let everything she just said sink in. That wasn't something she'd generally just open up and tell anyone. But she felt so comfortable around him and she knew that he wouldn't judge her or call her crazy like people in her past.

"I envy those demigods that have a good relationship with their parent. I think it's selfish of the Gods to abandon us, only to reconnect when they need us to fight their battles." Andy laughed weakly. Hopefully the wrath of the Gods didn't come down upon her for talking negatively about them. She remembered reading about Greek Gods that would curse people for centuries because they talked poorly about them. Like Arachne... She was turned into a spider because she thought she was better than one of the Gods. She sat there quietly for a moment, before squeezing his hand and smiling towards him. "On a positive note... If you go, I'm sure Olympus is a lot nicer than where my mom lives." She laughed softly. "I have no desire to go to the Underworld."

He squinted a little confused. She was speaking plain english but sometimes the self-employed PT was fussy in their own requests. As she clapped again as a "go" signal, he jumped and ran half-way then jogged back to his starting point, grinning as Trinity did the same, the two taking the same pace, both going backward and seeing each other but increasing the gap between them. When she moved, bolting across the field, he did the same, really trying to be on par with the talented athlete. He had made it a few seconds behind her and turned around panting. She was already on the ground beginning her crunches, merciless on her own body. Daniel more plopped on the ground before imitating her movements, watching her self-consciously then returning to mimic it. "What helps motivate me is train like Ares is watching. God of War. Try appeasing that guy, ever." Daniel imagined it to be quite the task but when it happened, it would be beyond a badge of honor. But the whole motivation of him was strictly limited to his own offsprings.
He rolled onto his stomach and powered through the push-ups. Yep. Beneath his clothes were muscles because they were working and started to protest, threatening to drop him to the ground when he lowered his body.
Daniel couldn't leave the mini-training session without trying one stunt however. He bit his lips nervously noting on how he should have done it earlier on but he pushed down then pushed off the ground clapping his hands once before they planted refirmly on the ground. He grinned to himself and allowed himself to roll over and enjoy the sun as his chest heaved and his muscles carried a dull ache. Magic had always been there for Daniel. Hence his lack of fitness. "Hey!," he called across field but had to take a break between his sentence to catch his breath. "Did you see my Rocky push up?" That had come out as half a call and breath. Daniel hoped Trinity had. He was proud of what he had accomplished.

He groaned as he climbed back to his feet. "I gotta go check on the sis because...you know, where would she be without me?" He swallowed heavily then started to walk back towards the hall. His legs felt like they should be clumping with every step.

"Oh sissy!" He whistled out to her as he crossed the grounds, waving off those that gave him disapproving looks. He entered the hall where she sat with Ajax looking to be in deep conversation. Apparently Wesley was hardly the one he had to worry about. He swept into the barely vacant spot beside Andy, making more room as he wiggled around. Daniel had just discovered his sister so all the deep and meaningfuls and flirtation with other guys could get bumped to the back of the cue. Please and thank yous strained and included.
Daniel realized it didn't differ much from Wes' moves on her before but their intentions had been very, very different. "Sorry guys," he excused as if the fuss he made in getting comfy was a necessity. He looked to Andy. "So you ready to get the witchy training on a roll or what?" He smiled.

His eyes drifted around the hall out of helpless curiosity and need for observation. He saw Wes and Alex sitting together. A little too closely again. He mentally groaned and wanted to smack his head on the table. Come to think of it, he did let the exasperated groan out, aloud.

Son of Ares

"He's not around" Hayden stated so blandly to his sister. He was watching from the tree line waiting to have a genuine one on one conversation.
In all the things he had accomplished in the academy when it existed, in the name of Ares, he still didn't receive acknowledgement. "I mean he's alive but he doesn't give two shits about us. What ever you gotta do, you do for you." Hayden was generally perceived as unapproachable with his nasty temper and cold attitude. And probably the brutal truth that people called "narcissism" or "pessimism" instead. He had many enemies. But he never wished someone to hold on to false hope or work for the wrong reasons. Especially a fellow sibling. And robbed of a spar partner no less.
"Ares probably isn't even watching us." He scoffed. "Too busy planning war to bat an eye." Hayden was a rage filled individual himself but from time-to-time all he needed was Ares. Hell, he was more than capable of coordinating an attack himself and the two could probably be partners that clashed over certain approaches then competed on who was the better killer. Either way, Hayden had completed his training and was completely worthy of joining Ares side and annihilating enemies yet he was stuck on Earth.

"Good training but we were made to fight. So why don't you start right here?" He stepped before her and held out his arms. Least he could do while he was stuck here was help. His blonde sister probably hadn't encountered an equal enduring opponent in a long time. If not ever.

"I don't know if that girl's got an evil bone in her body... She seems pretty selfless. I swear though... I thought there was going to be a straight up brawl." Alex thought that too with what she heard from where she was. "I would have put my money on Andy." Alex smiled heartily. She would of too. "Definitely Andy. You're right about that girl though. We all seem to have our own daddy/mummy issues here, but that doesn't excuse her from hitting you." Alex sighed and shuffled in her seat a little to get more comfortable. Training would be soon taking place between herself, and her brother this morning. She wasn't 100% prepared, but she was ready. "Thanks Bolts but I don't think your brother is too fond of me. Don't wanna stir the nest." Bolts? she actually liked that nickname. It's was pretty awesome. "True. Honestly!? I don't think he hates anyone apart from David and his sister. He finds it hard to trust people. He'll come around eventually.. you'll see."

When he began to pretend that he was dying, Alex folded her arms, and looked off to the side a little as she smirked with her brows lifted slightly. She knew that he was just trying to make fun on her lightly. She looked back at him and laughed. "Are you done?" he broke out in laughter after that, unable to hold up his little game. "It's like... a 2. I just won't be able to make out for awhile. So I guess my flirting will be kept a minimum for the time being. Plus, it's not like anyone is going to find this attractive. Makes me look tough though." Alex shook her head and looked down before looking back up to him. "Typical son of Aphrodite.. worrying about not being able to make out over everything else. Dork." As she heard a groan, she turned her head to look in the direction it had come from, and saw that Daniel was looking over at them. She decided to wave to him, see if he'd wave back, or just ignore her.

He looked like he had been working out though, because he seemed to be looking a bit sweaty.. but that didn't bother Alex. He was still very much attractive to her. She would of gone over to him, but he was with his sister and Alex's brother for the time being. No doubt Daniel was up to his old tricks again to torment people. But he didn't do it to harm people.. it was just in good fun to make himself laugh. Alex loved his lively, creative spirit.

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

Ajax hadn't spoken once since Andy began to open up to him about her life crisis. He wasn't going to judge her in anyway, because her talking to ghosts etc was normal in all of their worlds. "I think talking to Ghosts and things is awesome. You're right about the Gods, some of them definitely use us, like pawns on a chess board. I suppose Mount Olympus would be an adventure. I'll go. Thank's, beautiful." he then kissed her head. "Oh sissy!" upon hearing Daniel coming over, Ajax pulled back a little, looking across to where Daniel was walking towards them. He slowly dropped his arm from around Andy's shoulders, and rolled his eyes. Typical that someone would come and ruin their little moment.

"Sorry guys," he had excused whilst getting comfy. He looked to Andy as he spoke. "So you ready to get the witchy training on a roll or what?" If Andy wanted to go, then she could, he was going to have to train with his sister anyway, because he was the only one who could handle being shocked by their lightning bolts. "You can go if you want to," he began to tell her, his eyes looking at her next to him, "I have to train Alex this morning.."

"True. Honestly!? I don't think he hates anyone apart from David and his sister. He finds it hard to trust people. He'll come around eventually.. you'll see." Wes nodded his head while making a hmm noise. "Well... I'm sure me kissing Andy didn't really help me get a shoe in the door with Zeus Jr." Being a son of Aphrodite he had the luxury of being able to sense the lovey dovey feelings people had. And although he knew Ajax and Andy didn't know each other too well, he definitely felt something there. Leave it to him to be that dick, he knew he shouldn't have crossed that line. Wes rubbed the back of his neck while saying, "I probably should apologize to your brother at some point for making a move on his girl." He quickly cleared his throat, adding, "I mean his friend... That is a woman." He brought a hand up to rub his swollen jaw, "I should apologize to her too..."

Wes couldn't help but chuckle when Alex wasn't falling for his fake attempt at being wounded. Obviously she saw right through it but it didn't matter to him, he still liked teasing her. "Typical son of Aphrodite.. worrying about not being able to make out over everything else. Dork." Al said to him which just made him laugh more. "Hey now... I won't stay young and beautiful forever. I need to cash in while I still got my looks." He winked at Alex playfully before moving to his feet. He couldn't help but notice the groan that also caught Alex's attention, turning to see Daniel glaring at them. It was obvious now apparently he was crossing lines being friends with Alex now too? Damn, is there any female I can be friends with without pissing off a big brother or crush? "I'm... going to take that as my cue to leave. I've had my share of over stepping my boundaries for the morning." He took a step towards Alex, bringing her in for a gentle... Purely platonic hug. "Thanks for being a pal."

Wes through out the ice pack as he made his way towards the exit. He stopped when he saw Daniel, obviously being a intentional awkward third wheel to the hero squad. "Nice buzz kill." He said towards Daniel before he walked out of the hall. Once outside, he brought his hands up to rub his face while inhaling the fresh air. Then he reluctantly made his way towards the training area. He was never the training type and he hadn't really solidified a training partner... So who knew how long he'd stick out this training BS.

"I think talking to Ghosts and things is awesome." Andy couldn't help but laugh softly at his comment. Most people thought it was weird or something when she said she talked to ghosts, but it made her happy that he thought it was cool. "You're right about the Gods, some of them definitely use us, like pawns on a chess board." She was glad that people agreed with her about the whole pawn situation. "I suppose Mount Olympus would be an adventure. I'll go. Thank's, beautiful." The compliment made her blush softly, and her cheeks only reddened more when she felt his lips upon her head. She allowed her eyes to close slightly at the subtle gesture.

"Oh sissy!" Andy gasped, craning her head to look in the direction of the shout simultaneously as Ajax pulled away from her. Of course it was her brother. When he removed his arm from her shoulders, it caused the hand that was holding his to fall into her lap. She let out a soft sigh, while putting her face in her palm. Not only did he decide to ruin whatever kind of moment they had going on, Daniel just had to make it way worse. He made his way to the bench and wiggled his way into the little amount of room on the bench on the opposite side of Andy while saying, "Sorry guys," The movement of his body snaked it's way onto the bench made her practically fall over into Ajax's lap. "Seriously Daniel!" She grunted as she went to sit back up right. Her gaze lingered on Ajax's for a moment as she mouthed the word 'sorry' to him.

Andy crossed her arms, glancing down at her feet as she now felt extremely awkward sitting sandwiched between the 2 of them. After a moment of awkward silence, Daniel asked her, "So you ready to get the witchy training on a roll or what?" She did remember promising him that they would trade skills or whatever you wanted to call it. And now after him being such a buzz kill, she was going to have immense fun getting even with him. But before she could answer Ajax chimed in, "You can go if you want to, I have to train Alex this morning.." She looked over at him as he spoke. She actually enjoyed sitting with him and talking, but that whole moment was ruined now. "Find me when you're done?" She smiled towards him before moving to her feet, forcefully yanking Daniel up along with her. "We can spar..." She said back towards Ajax, pointing at him at him teasingly with a soft laugh, "But no taking it easy on me... Because I won't be easy on you." Andy was curious to see how Ajax fought, plus she figured by the looks of things, Daniel wasn't much for combat. He seemed like he'd rather rely on his abilities while Andy rarely ever used hers.

Andy flashed Ajax one more smile before she turned towards the direction of the training area. She started walking away from the main hall and once she thought she was far enough away so only Daniel could hear her, she shoved him in a friendly/aggressive way. "You suck... you know that!" She then crossed her arms over her chest, "I didn't ruin your little karaoke moment this morning!" She laughed half heartedly. She tried staying mad at him but it wasn't really working. Plus, she planned on just taking it out on him in the training arena if she felt the need.

After training was over and done with, Alex decided to head to the Greek Springs where there was a waterfall that kept the water clean for anyone to bathe in. She could of just headed home with her brother and used the shower, but she just wanted to remain outside in the nice weather for just a little longer.

She had been cooped up inside almost her entire life because she was afraid of harming someone with her gifted powers, so she remained locked up in her room for days until her brother convinced her to come out.

The Earth may have evil and darkness lurking around every possible corner, but there is still many things to hold onto, and a lot of things that give us hope for humanity. That was the main reason that she never gave up with anything.

Alex did steady breast strokes from one side to the other, over, and over again. She has always looked after her health, always remained in shape, so she hardly ever got sick. It helped being Demigod though, because her immune system was heightened by it. Once she did a couple of more laps to the width of the Springs, she stopped for a moment to catch her breath. She ran both of her hands back through her hair, and tilted her head back just a little with her eyes closed to catch the gentle breeze that blew against her face. This, was the life, but still.. she still missed being with her mom, step-dad, and step-brother in New Orleans.

Thankfully Ajax was here, reminding her that she's never alone.

As she explained the last few days had been stressful he nodded. He did not doubt particularly as new girl in the new environment with other demi-gods, things were stressful. That, plus her additional personal issues and the flight. He had patience for Narissa though. She'd forget about her stress soon enough and it would be replaced with the common demi-gods trying to tolerate each other and advance their own powers. He fiddled with the necklace Jennova gave him. Demi-god stresses were far worse than the common riff-raff. Your sister betraying your father for a born rival was ridiculous and stressful.

Hades was a man with an ambitious plan. It was always wise not to intervene.

"Good Morning," Seraphina greeted jumping off the path way for them. A hardly necessary act with the timid Narissa at the moment, but the more comfortable she got, he was willing to bet that would change. And that there was a wild side beyond random outbursts. "Morning," he said in turn.
"Sorry I'm new and David's trying to help me find a cabin." Narissa added. David smiled tightly. Anyone that knew him didn't see him as a helpful guy touring the new girl around from the good of his heart. But Narissa had said it so naturally.
"She knows you're new," he whispered to Narissa and smiled. He thought about leaving the two to get acquainted and for Seraphina to perhaps show Narissa to a cabin instead. She'd probably be a little more warm and mature. But still David stuck by her side.

He watched Andy tear into the vines and smiled a little. Such a lady but whatever it took for freedom so he wasn't judging. Too much.

"So... When is this going to become difficult?" Daniel got to smirk as she challenged for more. "You always been so competitive?" he wondered before she stated it was her turn again in the little witch off they were having. Daniel couldn't help but mirror the wicked grin and shuffle a little on his feet bracing for her next move.

Rather than the range spells and illusions he was used to, Andy ran straight for him. He stood a little straighter and broadened his chest, waiting for her to call chicken. Sure, she was a solid navy chick but any collision would hurt both parties. He braced for impact as she didn't slow and flinched a little before she ran straight through him. He shuddered. He didn't feel a thing but the idea of aspiration moving through him...

Daniel turned to see multiple Andys and his face fell. "But which one is me?" His lips pursed and his eyes narrowed eyeing each of them. Now this was a challenge. But one he was hoping to ace no less. Just when he thought he had found the solution, he heard, "Will the real Andy, please stand up?" from the voice of Ajax. Daniel shifted his gaze then looked back to the Andys and smiled. That probably meant sibling training session over and well done with. Have fun with charming He didn't know if telepathy was within their reach but it didn't hurt to send a snide remark here and there to Andy.

Daniel rolled his eyes and saluted his farewell for now to Andy and walked off. He didn't doubt there were other people to torment and see. One being, Alex apparently in the Greek Springs. He smiled for a moment before wolf whistling for her attention then grinned as he took a crossed legged seat near the edge. "What are you up to?"

Upon hearing a wolf whistle, Alex turned her attention to the one guy she had been dying to see again, but that didn't mean she wasn't capable of surviving without him. After-all, she hardly knew him, but what she knew so far!? was that she liked very much. His grin matched his handsome face, causing her to stare at him for a moment while she smirked softly with water dripping off of her nose gently. He had taken a seat near the edge with his legs crossed. "What are you up to?" she chuckled at his question. "Just enjoying a relaxing swim, and admiring someone." she had never seen anyone as handsome as Daniel, not even close. Every inch of his gorgeous face looked flawless. He could surely pass for a son of Aphrodite if he wasn't already Hecate's boy. "Why exactly are you here?" her tone was as smooth as silk. What ever the reason for his being here, she didn't care, she was just glad that it was him that had come to her, and not anyone else.

She grinned cheekily, and stood up more in the water in a playful way. "You can come join me if you like? the water feels nice and warm." This was perfect to her, because with everything that she had been missing, and worrying about home!? she had forgotten all of it the second that Daniel was in her gaze. He had a way of keeping her calm, and no one had ever been able to do that with an offspring of Zeus, their tempers short naturally, but not around Daniel. How was he having such an effect on her after just 2 days of knowing the guy!? it was crazy. Hopefully he wasn't the type to play with emotions though, because Alex would soon make him regret it if he was brave enough to play with her heart.

It was obvious that the Daughter of Zeus was flirting with him, but if her brother saw!? then everything would be ruined in seconds. Luckily, he wasn't around. Luckily his attention was preoccupied with Andy's company.

Wes cocked his head with a slight laugh as she said, "No. And it's uh, Mr. Muscles-McGee actually. And he is a very..." He nodded his head, crossing his arms over his chest as he took a step towards her. He was about to make another comment but she replied with the usual sarcastic response. "He's just very intense and we're on a break for round one anyway. Besides I saw what you were doing to the poor equipment and figured I couldn't stand by." "Ahh," He took another step towards her, "So because I'm not some natural born killing machine, I don't know how to use some exercise equipment?" Wes shifted his weight to his right leg, resting his hands on his hips. "I may be fabulous... But sometimes it still does take a little maintenance." The way he said it made him sound like one of the annoying preppy girls that everyone had the luxury of knowing in High School, even finishing it off with a fake hair flip.

"I reckon I could hit harder... Of course I never would." Wes laughed slightly, raising a hand up to touch his jaw. "And that blondie, is why I like you." He smiled as he watched Trinity walk around him, and tapped her hand on the bar, asking, "So what are you lifting these days, Ken doll?" He stepped back over to her, "Umm, about 150, 160... More than you weigh munchkin." Wes brought his hand up to run through his hair, "It was something productive to do since I didn't really solidify someone to train with." He paused for a moment, his voice taking on a slightly more serious tone, "But let's be honest... No one wants to train with a kid that is born to like their appearance more than protecting their life."

Andy stood there with her arms like she was Vanna White when she saw Daniel pondering, her clones mimicking her exact movements. Just as she thought her brother was about to figure it out she heard a quiet, "Umm... " Followed by a throat being cleared. The sound caught her off guard and she spun around to see who it was all of her clones followed her movements. She couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw it was Ajax. "Will the real Andy, please stand up?" Andy couldn't help but laugh. She stepped forward, "I'm Slim Shady. Yes I'm the real Shady. All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating. So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up? Please stand up? Please stand up?" She bounced around and attempted to rap, while her clones began to disappear. She stopped dancing around when she finished her little karaoke moment, cracking up laughing, Ok I'm done."

Andy stepped towards Ajax as he said, "I was wondering if I could steal you away from your brother?" This caused her to smile and before she responded, she glanced over her shoulder towards her brother. She didn't need to be a mind reader to know what he was thinking from his simple facial expression and the salute. She sighed, rolling her eyes before looking back to Ajax, "You guys are never going to get along are you?" She said it in a playful sarcastic tone as she closed the distance between the 2 of them, teasingly nudging his arm with her own. "But steal away... I'm all yours."

Her pick up lines needed subtlety but he grinned more, nonetheless flattered by her speech and the tone she took with him. He didn't bother answering why he was here. It was obvious. To see a good thing while it was there openly swimming and bathing. When Alex stood up and grinned playfully inviting him in, he narrowed his eyes a little. Talk about jail bait. Daniel squirmed a little uncomfortably contemplating her offer.

Shit could hit the fan that quickly if anyone saw them together, even if they were just swimming or sitting nearby. Daniel looked Alex over though and rose to his feet. If he had turned down this kind of offer, he was an idiot. "Okay. Long as you don't fry me." Alex may be new but she wasn't out of control with her electrical surges. "Unless it's an excitement thing then better turn away from the show." Daniel smirked and winked before he pulled off his t-shirt, dumping it nearby the spring then his pants. He almost lost his briefs with them but quickly tugged them up, laughing at himself.
He lowered himself into the springs that felt as though they had healing properties as he was washed with relief closing his eyes. So relaxing. He peeked an eye open at Alex and smiled. "So, you been up to much training today?"

To be honest, she didn't really care if people saw them. Seeing him here made her happy as she stood in the water staring at him with a smile still. "Okay. Long as you don't fry me. Unless it's an excitement thing then better turn away from the show." Alex began to smirk herself as she slowly lowered herself back into the water, her eyes remaining on him. "Sounds very kinky," she chuckled. "but don't worry, Daniel, I'd never hurt you." and she wouldn't.

As Daniel began to undress, her cheeks flushed into a soft red tint of color, almost matching the flowers on the edge of the path. Every inch of him was Godly, and she couldn't bring herself to turn away even if it was the appropriate thing to do. She looked him over, taking all of him in which caused her heart to flutter, and her stomach to knot. She swallowed gently as he took off his pants, almost taking his briefs with them which made the air in Alex's throat sharply hitch before she held her breath for a second. He managed to quickly pull them up though with that gorgeous laughter of his, and Alex soon let herself breathe again before laughing too. He was soon in the Springs with her, and with his eyes shut, Alex's smile grew to her eyes as he opened one eye at her. She chuckled softly. His personality was amazing. "So, you been up to much training today?"

She couldn't tell him about how he had distracted her, so she was going to keep that information strictly between herself, and her brother. "A lot. AJ and I were doing really well, but I can't help but worry about the war that's heading our way. I know that I'm not going to be able to protect everyone, but I will protect you. Always." She knew for a fact that Daniel could handle himself, but still.. she wouldn't let anything happen to him. Ever. "How about you.. how was your own training with your sister?"

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

"I'm Slim Shady. Yes I'm the real Shady. All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating. So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up? Please stand up? Please stand up?" Ajax burst into laughter. He hadn't expected her to react in the way she did, but he enjoyed it. He even did a little dance on the spot with his hips, bumping them to the left, then the right before he chuckled. "Okay I'm done."

"Awwwwh, I was just getting into that." he folded his arms and pouted jokingly before laughing once down his nostrils, and unfolding his muscular arms. Ajax took his eyes off of Andy for a moment as he watched Daniel make his exit, but was soon drawn to looking back at Andy again once hearing her question. "You guys are never going to get along are you?" He didn't really know how to reply to that, because Daniel hadn't really given him a reason to hate him. He just didn't trust him around Alex. Yet. He chose not to reply. "But steal away... I'm all yours." He smiled again, then held his hand out for her. "I got something to show you."

Alex was too worried for things that weren't her burden, a prime example being everyone else among camp and the war they were preparing for. "I know that I'm not going to be able to protect everyone, but I will protect you. Always." Daniel could hold himself in a battle and he could show her that if she wished. He shook it off however seeing it as just a protective instinct of those she was fond of and not an insult. He would hate to be prioritized over the weaklings of the camp and those with few offensive abilities. It was hardly fair for them to be dragged to camp for a war close approaching.

He held up a hand waving it off gently. "Alex, please. I can protect myself. There are others Zeus' offsprings are obliged to look out for. Like each other." Imagining Ajax and Alex not prioritizing each other in battle was close to impossible. One without the other, was impossible. "But thank you," he added sincerely. It was nice to be cared for.

"How about you.. how was your own training with your sister?" she asked. Other than interrupted by Ajax, as short as it was, pretty good. Daniel shrugged. "Good. She keeps me sharp. But ssshh" he put his finger to his lips and winked. Andy didn't need to hear how upbeat and alert she kept him near the training area. He was used to being the star of the witchy show.

He smirked to himself and brought Alex closer with a hand gesture causing the spring water to push her gently towards him. He lay a hand in the center of her back looking between her eyes and lips then kissed her lips softly, allowing his eyes to close for the moment or two it lasted. "I don't need your protection, Alex," he said lowly, close to a whisper while there was little space separating them. "You just worry about you when the war comes." Daniel didn't address the harsh reality of the whole war that often. But when it did come about, he hoped none of those selfless people risked themselves for him.

He held up a hand waving it off gently, Causing her to smile up to her eyes as she lightly tucked a couple of wet strands of her dark hair behind her right ear a little. "Alex, please. I can protect myself. There are others Zeus' offsprings are obliged to look out for. Like each other." She understood him, but her brother would do fine, plus.. it would be Ajax looking after her during the war. She told him not too though, because he'll end up getting himself killed if he focus's on others and not himself. Of course AJax didn't listen. This was the con to having siblings, you always want to protect them over yourself. You always want to be their hero to keep them safe no matter what becomes of your own destiny. "But thank you," "You're welcome."

"Good. She keeps me sharp. But ssshh" he put his finger to his lips and winked, causing her stomach to flip so fast that it made her feel a little sick ( In a good way ), but she was fine. She chuckled. "Your secrets safe. Don't worry." what happened next, she didn't expect to happen. He had pulled her in closer to him with a gesture of his hand, her body floating through the Springs until she was inches away from him. His hand was on the center of her back, which made her spine coil and shiver. She had dreamed about one simple touch, and how it would feel to actually be this close.

She was hoping that he couldn't feel, or hear her racing heart that was almost pounding out of her chest with the way he was looking between her eyes, then to her lips. She closed her eyes the second he kissed her, causing the air in her throat to hitch sharply, and her body to tense up for a second before it began to relax. Their eyes were shut while enjoying this moment together with absolutely so interruptions. The side of her nose was gently against his own as her lips fitted perfectly to shape of his own. "I don't need your protection, Alex," he had said lowly, close to a whisper while there was little space separating them. How his lips brushed against hers as he was spoke, was causing Alex's breathing to be uneven, and she could of sworn she was floating with how happy she felt. She felt like she was on cloud nine. No guy had ever kissed her before apart from that one random, which wasn't good at all. But Daniels? - it was like heaven in a kiss. "You just worry about you when the war comes." even though she wanted to protest against him, to disagree etc etc.. he was right. Everyone needed to focus on themselves, and not try to play hero.

She wanted to reply to him now, but she seemed to be lost for words as her brain was still processing the kiss, still reminiscing on how special, and how amazing it was. She was practically glowing. At this point, she wished she hadn't kissed that other guy to just make Daniel jealous. He should of been her first kiss instead, but seeing as that guy was bad at it? Daniel is her first kiss after-all. "I just um, with.. ab-absolutely." She nodded, her words coming out all jumbled while stuttering slightly. "I just, w-with everything that's. Kiss me again." she finally told him, wanting to feel his lips on hers one more time with them remaining as close as they were. "Please." she added with a soft little chuckle.

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

"If you ask me nicely maybe my mad skills will make a reappearance at the Camp Fire tonight." There was Camp fire tonight? "Really?" Damn. He didn't want to miss it either, those times at camp were awesome. They were like a beach party since that's where it always was on the Camp Athens Island. "I've never been the one to turn down a good party. I'll be there." he promised. It was rare that he ever broke promises, and when he did!? it was because something important had come up and needed his full attention. "I'm holding you to that, Miss Bolton." He grinned.

"I'd be lying if I said you didn't peak my curiosity." With Andy's hand in his, she gently grasped Ajax's hand before adding, "I hope it's something... Good." She let out a soft laugh, causing him to laugh too as he pulled her with him gently, keeping his hand holding hers. "Not that I won't wrangle a hydra or suck poison out of another camper. But I kinda was wanting a day off." The arm of the hand he held, softly bumped into him, "Plus I don't just suck poison out of anyone." She looked up at him, winking at him playfully. Ajax smirked. "Do you always talk so much when you're nervous?" he teased her while glancing over to her with a smile now. "It's nothing like that, I just want to show you something that is pretty awesome." It had taken a short little while to get to where he wanted them to be, but once there!? this cave sat near to the cliff that out looked onto the ocean of Camp Athens. "Now, close your eyes.. and no peeking." he gently warned her.

He felt the sparing gaze that held only for a moment on him oozed with judgement, causing him to harden his eyes a little. But soon Seraphina nodded as a sort of approval. David was still a little skeptical of her mind track but didn't bother himself much about it. This was likely to be only a minor exchange that wouldn't stretch out too long or seen much into. When he felt the girls conversation coming to their overly friendly kind end, he straightened up and forced a tight smile on his lips and nodded so as to prove his own goodbye to the daughter of Hera. Just because he didn't understand the need for perkiness and sunshine coming from both ladies didn't mean he had to be absent of his manners.

Narissa turned back to him, “So, which way are we going?” He sighed out gently and gestured right ahead. "Forward," he answered and led the way to Artemis's' cabins.

"So I was wondering..." he scanned for conversation with the new girl to fill in the silence. "How are you so happy all the time and energetic?" He half-laughed at himself for his bluntness. That could be seen as kind of rude. And what was the right answer in a question like that? 'My morning supplement shakes!?' David was genuinely curious about his question and where she summoned the effort from or felt the need to be happy all the time though. Misery and pain was part of the life cycle too.

Alex was all sorts of crazy beautiful and gorgeous and looking into those magnificent blue eyes and being able to keep her as close as she was....It was bliss. But still he didn't think it entirely wise to get too cosy with each other and like she had brought up, especially with the whole war coming. Daniel already knew the stubborn kind she could be.

She stumbled over her words and Daniel only smiled watching her and waiting for her to gather her mind. Daniel kissed her once more like she had asked with the most desirable little chuckle included. Their lips touched again, this time only a simple kiss, more like a peck. After all, she didn't specify. He flashed her a grin and climbed out returning to sit on the edge of the Springs instead.

He touched his lips maintaining his grin and shook himself out of it. "So I guess I'm gonna jump on your brother's 'to fry list'," he stated. "How do you match up against the semi- big guy anyway?" If Zeus was considered the big guy then Ajax had to be the semi one. He was older and slightly more experienced than Alex. And since Zeus was the apparent almighty , his offsprings thought themselves superior too. So semi- big guy would suffice.

Alex kissed him back with a peck this time which was simple, but still nice. Every time he was close to her, he managed to turn her into an emotional mess where her brain turned into a spaghetti junction of thoughts, and her stomach seemed to knot each time he just showed her his beautiful grin. Every moment she had managed to share with him, especially this; and his singing for her, was going to be remembered for a lifetime. Luckily no-one had come to destroy this for her.

She smiled as she silently took in the sight before her.. he had touched his lips maintaining his grin before he began to speak again with that voice that haunted her dreams in a good way. "So I guess I'm gonna jump on your brother's 'to fry list'," he stated. Probably, but if they didn't mention about this moment!? then there was no way of her big brother knowing. "Only if you tell him." she chuckled, then made her way out of the Springs too. She was wringing out her hair so it was just damp. Her straight hair always turned to beach curls when it was wet, but it looked cute, and not messy. "How do you match up against the semi- big guy anyway?"

She liked to think that she was doing pretty alright seeing as her big brother was much more advanced with his gifts, but she'd get there eventually."I..." She paused for a moment while looking down for a second in thought. "He's better than me, but.. I just need to practice some more. Lets go find Ajax and Andy.." She led the way once her hair was done, and while assuming Daniel was following her, she headed towards where Wes and Trinity were. "Wes..." she called to him while jogging up to him a little with the wind blowing back her damp hair. She came to a stop a few feet in-front of him. "Have you seen my brother with Andy anywhere?" she was just curious of their whereabouts.

Speech: Blue Thought: Green

After feeling her hold on him for her dear life so it seemed, he was containing the laughter that was bubbling up to pass his lips. [b]"Sorry... I just don't want to fall." She whispered to him softly as he held onto her to reassure her that she was safe. She could literally put her life in his hands. "Maybe I should let you fall for not trusting me." he smiled while chuckling. "don't worry, Andy, I got you." He picked her up now as if cradling her, and shot up into the air carefully so he didn't startle her. Originally, the surprise was in the cave, but he had changed his mind to something better.

High above the clouds now, he kept her close to him so she wouldn't be frightened encase she hated heights. "Alright, you ready?" he whispered, "open your eyes." if she was scared though, he'd take her back so she could set her feet back upon the stable ground. But the view up here was worth at least living once. It was heavenly with the clouds so fluffy and white against the clear blue sky. He had luckily picked the right day for this, because there wasn't a single rain cloud in view. Hopefully she'd enjoy it as much as he did. Zeus's offspring were the only ones that could fly this high, so it for someone else to see it from his point of view, would help them understand why he enjoyed it so much. It was like a whole different world up there which he had only shared with Alex, but now he was sharing it with Andy.

Wes couldn't help but smile down at his hands as he realized Trinity's silence. He sensed something while he was overstepping his boundaries just a moment earlier. He couldn't yet tell when he sensed were good emotions for him or bad but there was something. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to her. But some for reason he didn't want to overly flirt with her to the point of pushing her away. He made a mental note to back down.

"Not really. But time will tell." Pitty, he thought to himself, It'd be interesting to see G.I. Jane let loose. "And I'm going to be really spontaneous and go ahead and guess you'll probably be making an appearance there?" Wes smirked to himself before glancing up to look into her eyes. "Believe it or not I'm not a huge partier... Not anymore." He would understand if she didn't believe him. "I was just wondering because I'd go if you did." He raised a brow while smiling towards her. This time the smile was more genuine then his usual cocky, seductive smirks.

"Wes..." Hearing his name called caused Wes to stand more upright and turn slightly in the direction of the voice. A smile crossed his face as he saw Alex approach them with Daniel following behind her. "Have you seen my brother with Andy anywhere?" He eyed the brunette over, crossing his arms over his chest. "Lake water... or sweat?" He raised a suggestive brow, glancing between Alex and Daniel before raising his brows teasingly. He broke out into laughter before actually answering her question, "Ummm... I don't think so. Last I saw was when Ajax was talking to you," He motioned to Daniel, "And Andy." He shrugged his shoulders. "Why?... Something wrong?"

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

"Maybe I should let you fall for not trusting me." Andy scoffed, bumping his shoulder with her own playfully. "Don't worry, Andy, I got you." She smiled. Then Ajax's arm swept under her legs, lifting her into his arms. The gesture made her gasp in surprise, nearly opening her eyes by accident. She definitely wasn't expecting what happened next. It felt as if he pushed off the ground, jumped maybe? The motion made her quickly move her arms to wrap around his shoulders. She held tightly to him, laughing softly as she buried her face in the crook of his neck while her hair whipped around from their ascension.

From what Andy could tell, they felt like they came to a halt from whatever was going on. Her feet crossed, one ankle over the other as she felt him hold her close to him with ease. She felt bad that he was holding her, but he didn't seem to be having much of an issue. Ajax must have been stronger than she thought. "Alright, you ready?" He asked her. She couldn't help but laugh nervously as she slowly lifted her head from his shoulder, eyes still shut. "I hope so." She grinned innocently. "Open your eyes." Andy could feel the softness of his breath from their closeness as he whispered to her. She hesitated for a moment, biting on her bottom lip before slowly peeking her eyes open.

At first the only thing she saw was Ajax before her. She couldn't help but smile as she looked in his eyes for a moment. But soon her peripherals starting taking in sights she hadn't seen before, which drew her attention from him and to her surroundings. As she craned her head around her eyes widened as she took in the splendor around her. Her jaw slowly dropped in pure surprise. She had no idea that children of Zeus could fly... But here she was. She felt like a bird. Like if she wished hard enough, she herself could fly. A large smile quickly grew on her face as one arm slipped from around Ajax to reach out and slowly brush through a cloud. "I've been on a plane once... But... This is so much better." She said it in complete awe. Andy looked back towards him smiling happily. She then spread both of her arms out on either side of her, tilting her head back as she laughed softly. "I feel like a bird!" After a moment Andy raised her head back up, placing her arms back around Ajax's shoulders lightly. She glanced back towards him, unable to stop smiling. "This is amazing!"

DIALOGUE: #8b9068

He threw back on his pants at the least and gathered his shirt in his hand. The sun seemed to be beaming down strongly on him. Wherever Andy and Ajax were, he was sure they were having a ball but still Alex wanted to seek them out so he turned and followed a few paces behind. As much as he loved his sister, he didn't need to be around her that much. And they were new to each other. Still part of him was grateful for the escape after showing all that affection and kissing. This would make a good opportunity to shake it off. A better one, when Wes and Trinity were spotted in the distance.

Alex called out and jogged to Wes. Well she certainly shook it off. She was either really excitable, liked moving or a sucker infatuated with he and his Aphrodite charm. Daniel remained a few paces behind, letting the suggestive comment be Alex's to respond to. Hopefully the pair weren't that transparent with their little make-out episode. Wes burst into laughter. At the same time his eyes targeted Trinity and he shrugged. Alex hadn't even bothered to ask Daniel which would have offered a more efficient answer. In time, Wes supplied his answer then asked, "Why?... Something wrong?" Was something wrong?

He began walking slowly out wide from the group eyeing the fiery daughter of Ares to see if he had those sentinel warrior eyes on him. Daniel could make something go wrong very quickly. He walked until he was in distant line from her and took a step forward threatening to circle around them then smiled and stepped back instead. It was like gambling with a hell hound seeing if she'd follow his movements. It was exhilarating.

"How about Freddy this time?" his voice echoed to strictly Trinity. He looked between Alex and Wes and smiled. They had the whole hide-and-seek problem of who was where but Daniel could give the fighter the battle she craved. An exciting problem. He was tempted to give them all an exciting problem, And what got him more, if Trinity responded aloud she'd probably look a little unhinged.

DIALOGUE: #041e75

He furrowed his brows listening to Narissa's greek tragedy. Though she was sparing on the details he was betting it was a great big tragedy and misfortune for one young girl to bare. He'd feel sorry for her if it was in his capacity. But growing up with Hades and his own tragedy made him detached and cold. Nonetheless he conjured up a quiet, "Sorry to hear." He expected her to just like being perky no matter how tiresome it got. Or a method to friend making. But it was more of a method to life.

Eventually they reached the woods where Artemis' cabins were buried. "Sorry. I'm not usually such a depressing person to be around." Was this girl for real? She just justified herself and her need to be quirky and energetic and she apologizes for being depressing. He preferred her answer to something with more false sense of sunshine, daisies and marshmallows. "It's completely fine. I asked," he assured.

He gestured to the spread out cabins. "Are these anymore homie for you?"

Apparently Wes wasn't so typical. "Believe it or not I'm not a huge partier... Not anymore." That was interesting considering he was still in his primes. She hardly thought he would so easily retire his party days or pass up a peacock opportunity. "I was just wondering because I'd go if you did." He shot her a smile which she smiled back to and nodded along. Now he was just trying to be cute. "I'll be sure to let you know if there's a change of plan."

"Wes!" Though the call wasn't to her, she turned too and saw Alex jogging to approach them quicker. She asked of Andy and Ajax's whereabouts with no apparent urgency to her voice so obviously it was no code red. Seeing as Alex addressed mainly Wes, she didn't feel the need to answer, though she hadn't a clue anyway. If those two soldiers were together, they were more than likely fine.

Daniel caught her eyes near the background with a shrug and she shrugged too.

Then he began testing his luck, straying afar and moved with taunting purpose. Trinity's eyes followed each step he took, looking between his foot movement and the person himself. What was he up to? Her eyes were like daggers, trained on Daniel, but she wasn't completely riled up yet as her body still faced Wes and Alex vaguely. "How about Freddy this time?" The voice belonged to Daniel but it had surreal elements. It was hushed, close and echoed while he still stood a distance away. She brought her hand to her forehead. Witchcraft and illusions was growing to be her least favorite thing.

No more mind prodding. And Daniel did that. And Freddy definitely did that. She thought he'd learn his lesson but he stirred the pot again. She conjured a spear by her thigh, turned and threw it before Daniel's feet. Hopefully he considered that her stern 'no, thank you.'

The thing was Daniel knew better. But he pushed his luck like he pushed along mayhem. He couldn't help himself. And Trinity's thread of patience was fragile.

Daughter of Zeus

"Lake water... or sweat?" He had raised a suggestive brow, glancing between Alex and Daniel before raising his brows teasingly. She should of known that he would joke around about why the both of them were wet. He broke out into laughter, causing Alex to laugh as well as she swung her hand into his arm, smacking it as a scolding, but jokingly scolding him for it. "Ummm... I don't think so. Last I saw was when Ajax was talking to you," He motioned to Daniel, "And Andy." He shrugged his shoulders, and Alex looked over to Daniel who was now focusing on Trinity, the Daughter to the God of War. "Why?... Something wrong?"

Alex looked back to her friend and shook her head softly. There wasn't anything wrong, she just had plans.. but she wasn't going to ruin AJ's chance at some happiness. Andy seemed like a nice girl, and probably the only one who might be able to handle AJ's short tempers that were unpredictable. Just like Alex. "No, no.." she quickly reassured him if he needed the reassurance. "Everything is fine. I just had something planned with my bro. If he's still with Andy though, it can wait. Fancy helping me out with something else in the mean time?" she asked with a pleasant smile.

Ajax had his eyes on Andy the entire time, proudly taking in her reaction to the surprise, and her comments about it. She was right. Ajax always came up to this part of the world when he needed to get away from the harsh reality he was stuck in, and managed to relax with how quiet it was above the clouds. Now and again during his outbursts of temper at home, he would fly too because he was afraid of himself. He never knew exactly what he was capable of when crossing the line, and he didn't want to find out either. It was darkness. As the saying goes, "Everyone has a Demon inside of them." so he was cautious with not knowing if he could handle himself once reaching a breaking point. He could never bring himself to hurting those he cares about, but when someone is in a blind rage.. you just never know what might happen. If he hit a woman though, he would never ever forgive himself.

"Right? definitely a sight that's worth seeing once in your lifetime at least" and he wasn't talking about the view. He cupped her face with one of his hands while still holding her to him so he wouldn't drop her. Even if he did, he'd catch her before a second was up with being able to move at the speed of light. "I'm worried of hurting you." he began to honestly tell her. "Remember my ex I told you about? the one who was accidentally killed by a Minotaur?" he sighed. "I was dating her friend before her.. but her friend cheated on me with a son of Aphrodite. I accidentally killed her with my rage being out of control.." he had no idea how she was going to see him now. Maybe she will hate him for what he did. "I don't want to kill you, Andy. I... I electrocuted her."

Daniel couldn't help but jump back and shoot up his hands in surrender. "I was only kidding!" He exclaimed. The lean mean fighting machine needed to take her rejections down a notch though he knew, if she wanted his toes impaled, they would be. Or perhaps she looked to be taken more seriously. Either way telepathic communications was a clear no. And he thought Trinity was the tamest of the Ares bunch.

He approached her carefully, waving it off to the others. "Honestly, I thought you'd take it better." He stepped up to her and placed his thumb and index finger on her wrist ready to guide her away. Trinity had her opinion and Daniel had his need to satisfy boredom. Today was looking like a dull day while everyone else was mingling. "Come on. Just a simulation. I'll go in it with you.”

He threw Wes a trusting wink while Daniel borrowed the blonde for experimentation purposes. The son of aphrodite didn't need to see it, just Trinity. He'd return her in tip-top shape to resume the odd bonding. Alex and Wes had their own plans in the making
anyway.

"And train like Ares is watching, remember?" Daniel led the way and as the pair drifted away from other eyes and into seclusion, he turned the scene into a street of rubble. "Give me a weapon" He held out his hand. Preferably she'd grant him one before the soldiers came. His combat needed work. "How is daddy by the way? Gonna help us for the real war?"

When Wes saw Alex shake her head, he sighed slightly in relief. They didn't need more drama and problems at camp, at least one day without any issue we cause ourselves. She then said, "No, no... Everything is fine. I just had something planned with my bro. If he's still with Andy though, it can wait. Fancy helping me out with something else in the mean time?" He glanced over towards Trinity, who's attention was being grabbed by Daniel. He couldn't help but chuckle, knowing blondie wanted some payback from the night before.

His gaze shifted to Daniel, who winked towards him as he stole away Trinity. What the hell does that mean? For some reason that wink bothered him. Was Daniel trying to tell Wes not to worry? Or that he was going to kick Trinity's ass? Wes shook it off before looking back towards Alex. "Sure thing cupcake."

He moved back over to the exercise equipment. He grabbed his hoodie, throwing it over his shoulder before picking up his water bottle. He popped the cap and took a drink as he made his way back over to Alex. He held the bottle out towards her, offering the brunette a drink as he spoke. "So what can I help you with little lady?" Wes made the comment while hooking his thumbs in the hem of his pants and stepping towards her like a drunken cowboy, giving off his best John Wayne impersonation.

As Andy was held there in his arms, she smiled in return to his own happiness at her reaction to the surprise. Though after awhile she could tell that his thoughts had began to wonder slightly. But that didn't last long before he spoke up, "Right? definitely a sight that's worth seeing once in your lifetime at least." At that comment she glanced around at their surroundings with a happy smile. At first she thought he was talking about the view, that was until she looked back towards Ajax and saw his gaze on her.

Ajax's hand slipped from under her legs. The motion made her form shift as if she was standing before him, his other hand still holding her frame tightly to his to keep her from falling. The fact that she was only being held in the air with one hand, probably would have frightened anyone else... But Andy trusted him. Plus the thought slipped her mind the second his hand moved to cup her face. The simple action causing her cheeks to blush slightly. "I'm worried of hurting you." At first she thought he was simply talking about dropping her.

She was about to make some comment to reassure him that she wasn't worried about being dropped, that she could conjure up some parachute or something... hopefully. But clearly that wasn't what Ajax was talking about when he continued on. "Remember my ex I told you about? the one who was accidentally killed by a Minotaur?" She nodded her head towards him. He then sighed before continuing, "I was dating her friend before her.. but her friend cheated on me with a son of Aphrodite. I accidentally killed her with my rage being out of control.." Andy wasn't expecting that. When she looked at him she didn't see someone capable of killing anyone. She could tell just by his eyes that this guilt weighed on him heavily. "I don't want to kill you, Andy. I... I electrocuted her."

Andy's brows furrowed and her face saddened. Not because she was disappointed in him or mad, but because she was sad that he was worried he'd kill her. She brought her hands up to cup either side of his face, "Hey..." She whispered softly, waiting for his gaze to meet hers. "You are not going to kill me Mr. Valis... You hear me." It wasn't a threat or anything of that nature. She wasn't the type to be capable of hurting someone like that girl hurt him. But she trusted him whole heartedly... He'd never harm her. "Because I won't hurt you... I can't." She smiled weakly towards him, "I trust you Ajax."

Dialogue:#0000BF || Thought Color:#00BFBF

Theo hopped of his plane with a smile on his face. Finally, he was free. Not really though, he could run if he wanted. It wouldn't matter. He knew mommy dearest was watching. He grabbed his luggage without speaking to anyone, hurried out of the into the fresh air of Athens, Greece. He knew where he was going. He mosied his way to the nearest place with tree cover and immediately shifted into his wolf form. He had no intention of showing up as a human. That was too high profile for him. He would slip in and scout out the place, settle into his cabin, and then go meet people. He picked his bag up in his mouth and bounded off towards his new home.

Theo entered the camp ground through the woods. He noticed several teenagers laughing around an extinguished fire pit in the middle of several buildings. This must be where most of the gatherings happen. Theo thought as he crept on by. No one noticed him since wildlife was common on the camp grounds. Theo headed towards the edge of camp where his cabin was supposed to be. Along the way, he passed a group of four impressive looking demi gods. He stopped to take in the scene. There were two guys. They both had a self important air about, but so did most demi god males, including Theo. One seemed to have alot going on behind his eyes, while the other was just big. The two girls caught his eye. There was an attractive brunette. She was soaked. She looked nice soaked. The blonde though really drew Theo's attention. She was beautiful like all demi god females, but there was something behind her eyes, a fire, that called to him. Shortly, the four split into two groups. He moved on, continuing towards his cabin. He passed another two people on the trail, another cute blonde and a somber looking guy. Neither caught his eye so he moved on past them to his cabin.

Theo returned to human form, entered his cabin, and found it much to his liking. It was nice enough, average sized, with a spiral staircase leading out of the roof to a treehouse in the tree above. He was tasked with watching over the camp, so Theo knew he would spend time up there. He dropped his bag and shut the door behind him. He wanted to brush his teeth. Dog breath was the lingering effect of his wolf form. He grabbed his toiletries bag from a side pocket in his suitcase. As he was in the bathroom brushing his teeth he heard his cabin door open. Who in the hell?... I knew this was a bad idea, two minutes and I'm already getting intruded upon. Theo thought. He exited his bathroom with toothbrush still in mouth and an annoyed look on his face. What he saw surprised him. It was the cute little blonde he had seen on the trail. She looked surprised too. Theo was aware he was shirtless and how that usually affected women. He never wanted to be on bad terms with an attractive female, so he quickly changed his facial expression. "Well hello there." He said smoothly with his signature smirk on his face.

#D63B71 & Teal for thoughts.

Daughter of Zeus

"So what can I help you with little lady?" Wes commented while hooking his thumbs in the hem of his pants. He was stepping towards her like a drunken cowboy, giving off his best John Wayne impersonation.

"I wouldn't make it a habit of calling me that son." she was now leaning against the nearest fence like a cowboy. "Now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all...your fault, my fault, nobody's fault...it don't matter...I'm gonna blow your head off. It's as simple as that." Oh she knew John Wayne alright, because that was all her step-dad ever watched on TV with his son. Aj loved western movies too.. must be a guy thing. Alex laughed. "I just need ya' to do something for me."

She linked one of his arms with hers, and lead the way down the path without glancing back to Daniel. She was leading Wes to her Cabin. The leaves beneath her feet were crunching slightly as they walked. "You going to the bonfire tonight?" she wondered. She didn't mind if he didn't want to go, it would just be nice to have at least one friend there with her, just encase Daniel didn't show. Damn it.. that was what she wanted to ask at the Springs, but he distracted her. Hopefully he'd know it was on.

"I trust you Ajax."

Those words were echoing inside of his head. She shouldn't trust him, not while his training was still needed. Maybe he had gotten too far into this, maybe he shouldn't of allowed himself to build a close bond with her. If she got hurt, then he wouldn't ever be alright with that. "Don't.." he told her as gently as possible, yet his voice still remained quite deep as he slowly brought them back down to Earth. He could sense a mild storm on it's way, and having Andy in the clouds with him was definitely not a good idea. Ajax could handle the Lightening with no problem, and he would of showed off if it wasn't dangerous for her.

Their feet soon touched the ground. They were back at the cave where they started. "One more surprise before I take you back." He promised, and just as he had taken her hand to lead the way, it began to rain. He looked up as he felt the first couple of spots. He could even smell the rain, and the storm that was making its way towards the Camp. "Your singing did this." he teased, then laughed as he gently pulled her with him, and ran with her, heading straight to the cave for shelter. The sound of the rain and distant thunder began to echo through the cave as Ajax pulled Andy gently into his side with his arm hooked around her shoulders to keep her warm.

His eyes were watching as each raindrop hit the nearby leaves, causing them to heavily bounce before the next raindrop did the same. Silence lingered over them for a moment until he steadily turned his head in her direction, moving a strand of hair out of her eyes. "Whenever I tell you to run, I want you to listen no matter what okay?" he asked her, his hand now cupping just under her right ear as silence fell between them again. He was looking between her eyes, and slowly leaning in towards her.

"I wouldn't make it a habit of calling me that son." If Wes had been drinking anything at that moment he probably would have spit it out everywhere as he cracked up laughing. He was so used to people brushing off his sarcasm and joking nature, it surprised him when people go along. "Now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all...your fault, my fault, nobody's fault...it don't matter...I'm gonna blow your head off. It's as simple as that." Seeing Alex laugh caused him to chuckle as well. "I just need ya' to do something for me." He pretends to tip up his non-existent cowboy hat. "Whatever ya say ma'am."

Wes smirked over at the brunette as she hooked her arm with his and lead her towards the cabins, well at least thats where she thought she was leading him. He enjoyed the nice weather and sounds of the leaves beneath their feet. "You going to the bonfire tonight?" He looked down at her slightly as they walked. First he shrugged his shoulders before replying. "I haven't decided..." He laughed softly, "I uh... told Trinity I'd go if she goes." He diverted his gaze when he talked about the blonde warrior. After a long pause he then added, "But I don't think she cares if I go or not..." He then lightly nudged Alex, "But if you'd like me to go, I'll go."

"Don't..." Don't... Don't? Andy didn't think it was possible for one single word to shake her as much as it had. That one simple words caused her to slowly retract her hands away from cupping his face, moving them to be held against her chest. She nodded her head in acknowledgment, diverting her gaze away from him as he lowered them down to the ground. Was he truly that scared of hurting her? Was that his way of keeping her away?

Andy's mind was running away with her as she began over thinking like most women do. "One more surprise before I take you back." The words didn't jar her attention, nor did his hand reaching out to grab hers. It wasn't until she felt a rain drop land upon her cheek, then more and more quickly followed. Once she was brought to the present, she looked up at the sky, then down at her hand that he held. "Your singing did this." She then finally looked towards him. Whatever sadness she was feeling from him telling her not to trust him faded away when she saw his smile. "It was rapping." She corrected with a tease before he pulled her after him, running to the cave for cover. She laughed when they were under the shelter, "Well now we're stuck until the rain lets up."

Ajax gently pulled Andy close to him which caused her to smile and blush slightly while he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She noticed that he was looking back out towards the entrance of the cave which caused her own gaze to follow. She had always enjoyed the sound of the rain. She has even been known to dance in the rain when no one is looking. Andy saw Ajax turn his attention back to her from her peripheral which caused her to turn and meet his gaze. She held her breath as his hand moved to brush back a strand of her hair. "Whenever I tell you to run, I want you to listen no matter what okay?" This made her curious, even though she wouldn't let her face show it. Andy simply nodded her head in understanding.

As silence slowly grew between them, Ajax's hand moved to cup her head beneath her right ear. Andy subconsciously tilted her head into his hand slightly as her eyes locked on his, Ajax's gaze held hers unwavering. She wasn't expecting what he did next. But he slowly began to lean in towards her. That subtle and simple movement made her heart begin to race in her chest. She could tell that she was blushing by the growing warmth she felt in her cheeks. But she didn't move or falter, she continued to look into his eyes as he closed the distance between them.

#D63B71 & Teal for thoughts.

Daughter of Zeus

"Whatever ya say ma'am." as Wes smirked over at her while she hooked her arm with his and lead him towards the cabins, She rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled. He never gave up flirting a little, even if he knew that Alex wasn't into him like that. She wasn't going to lie, he was an attractive guy.. but her heart was already beginning to attach itself to Daniel, but she would never admit that to him, or truly share the thoughts on her mind unless it was something he wanted to hear. She wasn't the opening up type. Not easily at least.

"I haven't decided..." He laughed softly, but Alex felt a little disappointed because Wes's personality was bound to be the soul of the party, and so was Daniel. "I uh... told Trinity I'd go if she goes." As he diverted his gaze when he talked about the blonde, Alex couldn't help but look to him with a soft, and gently smile. Maybe she got it wrong, but it seemed to her that her friend was beginning to like this chick a lot more than he intended. Was it possible for an Aphrodite child to only have feelings for one woman? she didn't question him about it though, even if there was a long silence. He was thinking about her.

"But I don't think she cares if I go or not..." Alex frowned a little at that. She didn't believe that. Trinity may be the daughter of Ares, but deep down underneath that girls armor, she had a soft spot for him. He then lightly nudged Alex, pulling her away from her thoughts as quickly as a rubber band snapping back. "But if you'd like me to go, I'll go." Alex grinned. "Of course I want you to go, Wes, you're my friend." she nudged him back with her hip, and laughed while hugging his arm for a second firmly with both of hers.

They were finally at the Valis Cabin now, so Alex unhooked her arm gently from him. She wasn't sure why she headed this way.. guess it was just to take a stroll, to clean her mind from the worries. She wasn't exactly afraid of anything, but that didn't stop her from worrying about others. "I'm beginning to think that this war is going to..." She couldn't bring herself to mention the words about causing them all to lose each other. How many of them were they going to have to say fairwell to? "I need you to find out what Jennova was talking about to her brother David. Maybe you can.. work your charms on her or something? go as far as you can until she cracks. I need her to trust you so she can tell you in secret." Alex knew how shady it all sounded, but she had a feeling that her brother was soon going to be apart of something. "I think Ajax is going to be in danger."

son of Zeus

With the roll of thunder, and the drizzling rain in the background, all AJ could hear was the sound of his heart picking up in pace beneath his chest. With each inch that he moved closer towards Andy, every troublesome thought, and every aching pain was slowly drifting away. His hand remained where it was beneath her ear as he began to close his eyes while anticipating the feel of her lips on his. The Adams apple in his throat bobbed a little as he swallowed, but he carried on to close the gap between them. - Don't hurt her.. protect her. Always - he silently thought to himself a few seconds before slowly pressing his lips onto hers, cushioning them to fit perfectly to her own like a puzzle piece slotting into place.

He slowly trailed his hand down her neck, along her shoulder, and down the back of her arm with the slightest touch of his fingertips until they reached her elbow. While he kissed her still, his hand slipped around to the small of her back, pulling her gently and steadily in towards him as if he was about to dance with her. Worlds felt like they were in lining with new stars being born.

Meanwhile, Zeus was looking down from Olympia in silence. AJ reminded him of when he had met his children's mortal mother, and fell in love with her instantly. She had always been compassionate about the world, other human beings, and just how precious human life is in general. Even though his son had made two mistakes since being at Camp Athens, now was the time to fix those mistakes by doing what's right now instead. He slowly pulled back from the kiss as his father smiled proudly, then wandered off towards the temple to the other Gods.

Just the sound of Andy's name on the tip of his tongue was enough to make him smile. "I trust you too.." he finally told her from earlier when he told her not to trust him. He had never been able to trust anyone other than his sister, but now Andy was that second person. The thunder had slowly drifted away at this point, and the rain had slowed down as if calming with him. With his eyes still on her, the corners of his lips pulled up into a smile.

"Of course I want you to go, Wes, you're my friend." Wes grinned down at her as she hugged his arm. That was the first time anyone at camp called him their friend. And just because of that he'd go. "Alright... alright. I'll go. Is there music and dancing at this shindig? I like to get down." He shimmies his shoulders playfully while pursing his lips towards Alex.

When they reached the Valis cabin Wes whistled while looking it up and down. "I can tell being a descendant of Zeus has it perks... What do you do with all that room?" He chuckled. "I'm beginning to think that this war is going to..." The shift in conversation caused him to turn and look at her. He raised his hand to gently rest it on her shoulder. "It seems this... Impending war is on everyone's minds. Trinity didn't like my opinion on the matter but..." He shrugged his shoulders. "But you shouldn't worry too much. You and your brother are some of the strongest Demigods at Camp. You have a better chance than any of us." He could tell that Alex needed encouragement and to know she had a friend. Even though he saw no positive outcome for him in the war, she didn't need to know that. He didn't need her or anyone else sacrificing themselves for him.

It was safe to say Wes wasn't expecting what she was going to ask of him. "I need you to find out what Jennova was talking about to her brother David. Maybe you can.. work your charms on her or something? go as far as you can until she cracks. I need her to trust you so she can tell you in secret... I think Ajax is going to be in danger." Wes shifted where he stood, slipping his hands into his pockets. "And I take it I should be more... subtle with it?" He then moved his right hand to rub the back of his neck. "I mean... David would catch on if all of a sudden Jennova was all over me."

Wes stood there for a long moment thinking over everything. He didn't want anything to happen to Alex and therefore by default Ajax. But something rubbed him the wrong way about false pretenses when it came to his flirtations. He was just about to try to turn over a new leaf. "Ok... alright... I'll do it." Wes didn't like it but Hades' kids always had a knack for the wrong side so it made sense. Plus David didn't seem like the type to befriend anyone so the next best thing was Jennova. She obviously had a soft side when she protected Ajax. But someone like her didn't seem like she'd trust him until he was in bed with her, and he didn't want to go to that extent. He scratched his head while kicking at the ground lightly with his foot. But his biggest set back was the fact that the moment Trinity saw him flirting with Jennova, that would hurt whatever chance he ever had with her. Even though he never really had one to begin with.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

If it was possible, Andy's heart would have broken through her ribcage due to how heavily it was pounding in her chest. She wondered if she was going deaf because she could no longer hear the storm or thunder, but quickly realized it was her own throbbing pulse that flooded her ear ways. The sight of his eyes closing as he continued to lean in towards her caused to her inhale sharply. It was happening. Not long after his eyes close, did her own. The moments ticked by like hours as they were suspended in space only a few inches from one another. But then it happened. HIs lips met hers. That soft, simple touch caused her heart to skip a beat.

Ajax's kiss contrasted him in the best of ways. He was so rigid and strong but his lips were gentle and tender, molding to Andy's. As they held their connection she felt his hand slowly move along her arm, then slip around to her lower back. Once there he gently pulled her closer. The light tug brought her closer to him so her chest was pressed against his, her left hand moving up to tenderly caress his neck while her head leaned into the kiss.

As Ajax slowly pulled away, breaking the kiss, Andy's hand slid from his neck to rest upon his chest. The kiss left her lightheaded and if he wasn't still holding her close to him she probably would have stumbled when she tried to walk. She hesitated there for a long moment with her eyes closed, only opening then when he broke the silence. "I trust you too.." She looked up at him. Seeing his smile caused the corners of her lips to tug upwards into her own grin. It made her happy to know he trusted her. Although she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be killed by a minotaur, she would never hurt him like that other girl from his past.

After another long moment passed of them just looking at one another smiling, Andy gently tapped her index finger against his chest. She then bit on her bottom while scrunching up her face slightly. "So... what exactly am I supposed to be running from?" Her smile grew to a teasing grin before she laughed softly.

Daughter of Zeus

"Alright... alright. I'll go. Is there music and dancing at this shindig? I like to get down."
Alex shrugged. She was as clueless as he was, but over the moon that he'd be going now. "Probably" she replied before they finally arrived at the large Valis cabin. Wes's whistle made her look away from her home, and turned her attention to him as she laughed cheerfully. "I can tell being a descendant of Zeus has it perks... What do you do with all that room?" Alex smiled. He was right, A descendant of Zeus definitely did have its perks because in Mount Olympia, Alex and Ajax were royalty, and it was Ajax who was the next heir to the throne. Alex never wanted the responsibility, and she knew for a fact that her big brother would be an amazing ruler if that time was to come. She would of answered that question about the large space in her cabin, but her mind randomly began to shift towards the war. There was a prophesy, and this prophesy was very clear on the signs that Titans were coming for all of them.

The moon will become blood red, the air will become cold, like death, and the dark clouds will begin to swirl with anger.
A large army of Titans shall rain down upon Camp Athens, and nothing can stop it from happening.

Wes raised his hand to gently rest it on her shoulder. No doubt he could see the worry passing over her. She wasn't ever good at hiding distress. "It seems this... Impending war is on everyone's minds. Trinity didn't like my opinion on the matter but..." He shrugged his shoulders. "But you shouldn't worry too much. You and your brother are some of the strongest Demigods at Camp. You have a better chance than any of us." This was true, but Alex wasn't going to let anyone get hurt. She had a plan, but it would wait until the night of battle. It was too flawed to mention at this moment, It needed a bit more time, and a bit more planning. "It's my Fathers job to protect everyone, and no matter what, Ajax and I will also do the same. It's in our blood, in our nature. It is inevitable." she told him gently.

She could tell that he didn't want to flirt with Jennova, and Alex didn't want to force him into it either. His words proved that he wanted to help her, because he trusted Alex's intuition about her brother coming into danger, but Trinity was the one he cared about, wanted to change for. Alex didn't want to ruin his happiness.
"You don't have to do this, Wes, it's okay. We can think of something else at the campfire tonight."

After the kiss, Andy rested her hand upon his chest, causing Ajax to hold it gently with his own. "From anything that will put your life at risk. Including me. I'm not going to leave you, but there are times where I could just lose myself with rage." he just needed her to know everything at this point, and that she must always listen to him if he tells her to run, and to not look back no matter how she feels for him.

He let go of her hand, and climbed up onto some rocks. This war was going to be dwelling on everyone's minds for quite some time, but at least tonight they'd be able to wind down for a change and actually hangout, have fun. No doubt Daniel or Wes was going to tease them both about their disappearance, causing Ajax to actually smirk at that because he wouldn't exactly give them a straight answer, he'd just keep them both keep guessing. This moment with Andy had been one of the highlights of his time here. Finally something good and worth while. "Wanna head back? It should be dark soon, and no doubt the staff members have everything set up for tonight." He brought her close to him after reaching out for her with a hand, and kissed the top of her head lightly.

"One day though.. I'm probably going to have to leave." And he didn't mean from just Camp Athens, he meant from the mortal realm, or whatever you want to call it. He had responsibilities, and if it is possible.. then he'll take who ever wants to go with him to mount Olympus. The next generation of Gods.

"It's my Fathers job to protect everyone, and no matter what, Ajax and I will also do the same. It's in our blood, in our nature. It is inevitable." Wes respected that, he truly did. But Alex and Ajax can't expect to protect each other. Everyone at camp should have each others backs if they wanted to win this war without losing 90% of the campers in the process. "But if you and your brother are so busy protecting others... Then how will you protect yourselves?" He didn't like the idea of his friend dying in a war protecting someone else. "I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't try to protect you... But children of Aphrodite don't hold much wait during a battle." He stood there quietly while holding Alex's gaze. He wasn't going to say what he told Trinity. He wasn't going to say that he didn't see himself surviving the war. That's not what she needed to hear. And if Alex was telling the truth about protecting others, he'd hate it if she tried to protect him and got herself hurt in the process.

"You don't have to do this, Wes, it's okay. We can think of something else at the campfire tonight." Wes must have been displaying how he felt quite easily for Alex to realize his restraint. He nodded his head, reaching his hand to lightly brush hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. "Imagine that... An Aphrodite kid that doesn't want to flirt." He laughed weakly at his own short comings. "We probably should get back and split up your boyfriend and the war goddess. Plus I need a shower before this campfire shindig." Wes moved to stand to the left of Alex, while offering her his right arm, "M'lady?" He said in his best British accent, while standing like a Victorian Aristocrat.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

Andy smiled softly when Ajax's hand moved to rest upon hers that was lying upon his chest. "From anything that will put your life at risk. Including me. I'm not going to leave you, but there are times where I could just lose myself with rage." She glanced away from him for a moment. In most circumstances she probably would listen to him, but she is also stubborn. Ajax most likely knew this already, which is why he felt the need to tell her. "I'm a Demigod... My life is always at risk." It was the sad truth, "Especially with this... impending war." But she nodded her head. She knew he was scared of harming her. And although she wasn't scared of it, she still would respect his wishes. "I'll run when you tell me to run Ajax... As long as it won't leave your life in risk as well." She looked back up at him, giving him a soft smile. It's a fair trade in her opinion. He can't be the only one to worry about the other.

Andy watched him climb up some rocks while she stayed put where she stood. Her gaze shifted back to look out towards the ocean, causing a soft smile to grace her lips. She spent so much time on the seas with her father. Sometimes she found herself secretly wishing she was somehow a child of Poseidon. Andy couldn't imagine herself living down in the Underworld where her mother Hecate dwelled. Her attention was brought back to Ajax when he spoke, "Wanna head back? It should be dark soon, and no doubt the staff members have everything set up for tonight." Before she got a chance to speak he reached out and took her hand, pulling her close so that he could place a kiss upon her forehead. She grinned up at him, "Probably a good idea. Plus, I'm sure your sister is probably looking for you... My brother probably is just... Getting into trouble." She laughed, there was no probably about it. Daniel always seemed to know how to get into trouble.

"One day though.. I'm probably going to have to leave." Andy looked away slightly, she didn't like the sound of that. She knew he didn't mean death. She assumed to Mount Olympus... Maybe to be with his Father or maybe he'll be in charge some day. He'd be good at it, ruling. But if he went up there, she didn't know if she'd ever see him again. Zeus' home was in the skies while Hecate's was in the Underworld. The thought of living down there sent a chill down her spine. Andy would rather die then live down there for eternity. Noticing she had been quiet she responded, "As long as 'leave' doesn't mean dead... Then you do what's best for you." She glanced up at him with a slight smile.

#D63B71 & Teal for thoughts.

Daughter of Zeus

"But if you and your brother are so busy protecting others... Then how will you protect yourselves?" He was right, but Alex had always been the one to put others before herself, especially when they're weaker by abilities, or just someone she genuinely cares about. Wes is her friend, and if anything was to happen to him!? she would never forgive herself. It would tear her apart. "I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't try to protect you... But children of Aphrodite don't hold much wait during a battle." As he stood there quietly holding her gaze, it caused her to furrow her brows a little with pain. In just a short amount of days, the two of them were good friends already.

Alex remained silent for a moment, her eyes still on Wes as she sighed. She could tell that he was silently breaking inside, but trying to remain strong. Alex knew for a fact that he was a resilient soldier, ready to burst out into a warrior.

"We'll be fine. Wes... you're stronger than you think. I know you won't want me, or my brother to protect you, or the others, but I have to try." Ajax would always tell her that she can't save everyone, that she's not a powerful deity.. but she still tried due to the stubborn nature of her father that runs through her half Greek veins. Besides, her brother was slight hypocritical, because he wanted to save them all also.

He reached his hand to lightly brush hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear which caused her to smile softly this time. "Imagine that... An Aphrodite kid that doesn't want to flirt." He laughed weakly, and Alex chuckled. She might not know love, but she knew the feeling Wes was going through. When you feel strongly for someone, you're willing to change parts of you for them, but never changing yourself completely. "We probably should get back and split up your boyfriend and the war goddess. Plus I need a shower before this campfire shindig." "Agreed." she looked to him when he moved to stand to the left of her, offering his right arm with a "M'lady?" in a British accent. It was good too. "Color me impressed." She winked with a grin as she took his arm with him standing like a Victorian Aristocrat. She shook her head and rolled her eyes playfully as she lead the way to camp.

"I'm a Demigod... My life is always at risk." Ajax swallowed at those words of hers. It was true, their lives were at risk because none of them were classed as /normal/ but at least they weren't like the Titans who had hearts of stone, and they weren't the ones to grant a merciful death. "Especially with this... impending war." Ajax hated everyone having to worry about the war business, but this was the main reason they were sent to camp, so they knew in advance what was going to be needed of them. Their power, their strength, their unity.. and possibly their life. "It'll be fine.. I won't let anything happen to anyone. I'll try my damn hardest to protect, just like my father." He didn't promise though, because breaking promises was against him. He could never break them.

He was glad and happy that he had brought her out here in the end, because they finally got just a slither of alone time. Yes, he wasn't dating her etc, but he just needed this time to just get to know her a little better. "Probably a good idea. Plus, I'm sure your sister is probably looking for you... My brother probably is just... Getting into trouble." Ajax grinned at that before he jumped down off of the rocks, and laughed too whilst landing on his feet before straightening up and towering over Andy. Definitely no probably about it with Daniel. "Yeah, you're right. Alex will be worrying, but hopefully she's found someone for company for now. But hey.. your brother seems to really care about Alex" He began to say as he lead the way out of the cave now it had stopped raining. "He wouldn't hurt her would he?"

Hopefully for Daniels sake he wouldn't, and also for his sisters sake too because she was definitely into him. Ajax knew though that Alex was a little bit more into him that Daniel was for her, but that might just be the fact that he didn't like getting too close to anyone, so big brother Valis wasn't going to penalize Daniel for that.

"No, not dead.. just ruling Mount Olympus. Would you.. would you come?" but quickly added. "You don't have to though if you didn't want to, that's up to you. I'd still visit you from time to time, and as often as you want or need me." That, he could promise.

Wes tried to smile slightly when he heard Alex smile. "We'll be fine. Wes... you're stronger than you think. I know you won't want me, or my brother to protect you, or the others, but I have to try." He couldn't help but chuckle softly at the comment. Were Trinity and Alex secretly working together to prove I'm more than just a son of Aphrodite? "I know you'll try even if I ask you not to. You, your brother, even Andy... You all are very selfless people. I'd just hate to see you die saving someone who wouldn't return the favor." There was no doubt that there are people at the Camp who wouldn't risk their lives for the Valis siblings like they would for them. And that's what worried him.

Wes smiled towards her, "Agreed." After he used a British accent, he lost his composure momentarily when she commented, "Color me impressed." She winked at him and he returned it with his own wink, chuckling as she rolled her eyes at him. "What?" He lightly nudged her playfully as he started to lead her back to the main area of camp. He hadn't even noticed that it was beginning to get dark outside. But when they stepped back out into the open field the sky was warm with shades of purple, pink and orange. "With a view like this... One could almost forget everything that's going to happen and just feel... Normal." He wasn't particularly speaking to Alex or himself. Just enjoying the view and speaking freely.

Andy could tell the war was a touchy subject. It seemed to be with everyone. "It'll be fine.. I won't let anything happen to anyone. I'll try my damn hardest to protect, just like my father." She didn't say anything right away. The thought of Ajax and his sister trying to protect everyone didn't seem to favor their own lives. Andy would be lying if she said she wouldn't do the same thing and try to save people. But she kept that truth to herself because she wasn't one to want someone to die for her. "You can't protect everyone Ajax... And I..." She shook her head not finishing the comment. She didn't want to see him die, but he knew that already.

Ajax jumped off the rocks, landing before her. She always seemed to forget how much taller he was than her until he stood right beside her. She glanced up at him when he replied. "Yeah, you're right. Alex will be worrying, but hopefully she's found someone for company for now. But hey.. your brother seems to really care about Alex" As he headed out of the cave, she followed behind him. "He wouldn't hurt her would he?" She caught up to him, looking over at him. "I don't think so. He seems rather sure of himself, and wouldn't do anything he didn't want to. So I don't think he'd be acting like he does with Alex if he didn't feel that way." Andy began to step forward, talking back towards him. "I'm sure he's wondering the same thing about you."

Andy began walking towards the center of camp, assuming Ajax was following close by. "No, not dead.. just ruling Mount Olympus. Would you.. would you come?" The question took her by surprise causing her to stop mid step, turning to look at him. Before she had a chance to answer, he spoke again. "You don't have to though if you didn't want to, that's up to you. I'd still visit you from time to time, and as often as you want or need me." Andy couldn't help but smile slightly, looking down at her feet as she blushed. "...If you wanted me to, I would." Her smile faded as another thought came to her mind. "But... Hecate lives in the Underworld. I don't think... I don't think I'd be welcome in Olympus." She sighed softly, meeting his gaze for a moment before she slowly started towards the center of camp once again.

"I know you'll try even if I ask you not to. You, your brother, even Andy... You all are very selfless people. I'd just hate to see you die saving someone who wouldn't return the favor." Alex looked down to her feet for a second, shifting her weight slightly. Wes was right, there was no doubt plenty of people in camp that wouldn't do the same, they'd much prefer to just save their own skins, but Alex was the type of girl who tried to see good in everyone. Except for David. That guy was walking in his fathers footsteps too closely for her liking. Now he could redeem himself, prove himself to not be such a bad guy, but with his father being the enemy of her own.. trust was always going to be an issue. "You're right. I know others can protect themselves, but I'm scared of losing Daniel, you, my brother." Alex sighed gently, and hugged his arm in a little squeeze as they walked towards the direction on Trinity and Daniel. That little squeeze was a, 'I don't want to lose you'. Alex had always been an out cast to people who weren't Demigods, so she never had a friend, not once. Now she did, and she didn't want to lose that.

"What?" He lightly nudged her playfully, causing her to stumble gently and laughing. "You, you dork." she joked with a smirk while nudging him back with a little bump of her elbow. Their walk was enjoyable back to camp, because the view they were sharing right now, definitely was a sight you didn't want to miss. "Yeah, if only. Storms are nice too.. at least to me and my brother anyway." for obvious reasons. Storms gave the Valis siblings even more power, and she couldn't lie.. it felt AMAZING!

Alex now looked over to Daniel once they got to them, and he had Trinity pinned. "Don't make me split the both of you up." she joked towards Daniel mainly as she unhooked her arm from Wes gently. For second, she began to walk backwards with Daniel behind her as she mouthed a thank you to Wes for listening to her and helping to straighten out her head. She turned on her heel after, then carried on heading on over to Daniel with the corner of her lips turning up into a bright, warm, and welcoming smile. She was happy to see his face again, and it amused her how he always loved getting himself into situations, or causing trouble in general with little tricks of his. "Come on, let her go."

"You can't protect everyone Ajax... And I..."

She didn't have to finish, he knew exactly what she was trying to say. He couldn't promise his own safety, but he'd try his damn hardest to keep himself breathing for her, his sister, and his friends.

While walking with Andy, their conversation about Daniel carried on as they passed their woodland surroundings down the path that would lead them right back into the camp. "I don't think so. He seems rather sure of himself, and wouldn't do anything he didn't want to. So I don't think he'd be acting like he does with Alex if he didn't feel that way." She definitely had a good point. "I'm sure he's wondering the same thing about you." Definitely a good point. Ajax smiled. "Yeah, guess so. He'll definitely know how I feel about Alex's protection then." In no time they were also back at the camp not long after Alex and Wes, but Ajax wasn't going to hang around. "I'll catch you later, Andy.. I'm going to shower for tonight." he hugged his sister as he passed, then headed towards the Valis Cabin area.

He had a lot on his mind as he ran his hands back through his dark half Greek locks as he walked away from the small gathered group. He even passed Theos Cabin who was talking to one of the new girls, so Ajax nodded in their direction to acknowledge the both of them. Ajax knew one of the Staff members had also arrived, but where their current whereabouts were he had no idea. Hopefully they were preparing the delicious food for tonight like any other campfire night before. Ajax would of helped, but his head was too swamped.

"You're right. I know others can protect themselves, but I'm scared of losing Daniel, you, my brother." Wes half smiled down at her when she hugged his arm. He was trying not to show his true feelings through his face. He didn't want to worry her or hurt her but saying that he doesn't think he'll survive. So instead he just smiled and stayed silent for the walk back towards the center of camp.

"Yeah, if only. Storms are nice too.. at least to me and my brother anyway." Wes smiled softly, "I love storms... Especially sitting on my porch and listening to the rain." Alex then called towards Daniel, "Don't make me split the both of you up." She unhooked her arm from his and began to head towards Daniel and Trinity. Alex then walked backwards so that she could look at Wes, mouthing a thank you. Wes nodded his head as he tucked his hands into his pockets. His gaze drifted towards Trinity's, he couldn't help but smile sweetly towards her before he turned back towards the cabins.

Wes sighed softly as he began to walk back towards his cabin. He knew he probably smelled less than satisfying and decided he should shower before this campfire. When got to his cabin, he entered, closing the door behind him. He began stripping off his clothes as he walked towards the bathroom. Wes made sure the water was just shy of boiling when he stepped into the shower. He let a soft sigh escape his lips as the water cascaded over him. The warmth loosening his tight muscles.

"Yeah, guess so. He'll definitely know how I feel about Alex's protection then." Andy nodded her head towards Ajax. She didn't actually know what Daniel was thinking about her and Ajax, or whatever you wanted to call that. But she didn't think he was capable of hurting Alex.

They reached the center of camp shortly after Wes and Alex did. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Trinity and Daniel wrestling, obviously all she missed was an interesting spar. Her attention was temporarily brought back to Ajax, "I'll catch you later, Andy.. I'm going to shower for tonight." He was already walking towards his sister by the time she spoke, "Oh... Yeah, ok." She watched him hug his sister before she headed over towards the wrestling pair.

Andy sat down indian style on the ground right in front of her brother as he pinned Trinity. "Come on, let her go." She laughed looking up at Alex then back down at her brother. "But I'd prepare to run if I were you... She looks like she's out for blood." She nodded her head at Trinity. Andy then stuck out her index fingers then moved them apart. As she did that her powers pulled the 2 apart, putting 6 or so feet between them. She then grinned evilly, moving back to her feet. "I probably should like... shower before this campfire." Andy leaned over sniffing the air around Daniel, "You should too. You stink." She laughed.

"Crikey! Got myself a wild one here." He gave his best Australian accent as he wrestled with her.

So concentrated on keeping the fiery daughter of war pinned he hadn't noticed Andy as a spectator until he heard Alex's voice. "Come on, let her go." And his sister laughing. He looked up and around, keeping the blonde in a tight grip still. Sure. Let her go Daniel liked Alex but she wasn't gonna tell him when to quit, he was far too prideful for that. The last thing he fancied was a pretty swollen jaw to match Wes. Besides, she was moments away from admitting defeat. "But I'd prepare to run if I were you... She looks like she's out for blood." Daniel managed a strained grin. "Most likely." He turned back to Trinity who was almost buried in his pit. "Tap out," he stated. But their tangle of limbs was untangled and there was a magic eject button as the two parted. He sighed out and glanced to Andy and her wicked little grin. He moved to his feet, brushing himself off. "I probably should like... shower before this campfire." When Andy leaned towards him and sniffed the air, he waited for just what was in store. "You should too. You stink." He laughed. A good old fashioned smell comment. "I don't doubt it. But I had that." He gestured to where he was wrestling moments ago. "Party pooper." He added, nudging her.

Self-consciously, he glanced behind his back. "I might take your advice," he muttered to his sister. Initially he intended to use her as a sort of leverage and shield but Ares accuracy and strength was not worth gambling with. "See you at the fire?" Daniel guessed and took off towards his cabin and a nice warm shower.

Alex hugged her brother, then watched as he made his way silently to their cabin. She was frowning into the back of him, because he seemed a little quiet. For now she'd leave him to be on his own because that would be what he'd want at this point.

"Crikey! Got myself a wild one here." He said in an Australian accent as Alex watched him wrestle with Trinity like she was a crocodile. Alex was laughing so much that she couldn't see out of her eyes properly anymore until she wiped them with the back of her sleeve, and turned her eyes to Andy. "But I'd prepare to run if I were you... She looks like she's out for blood." She nodded her head at Trinity, causing Alex to look at Trinity with a chuckle. She definitely looked like she was going to kill him. Andy then stuck out her index fingers, and moved them apart. As she did that her powers pulled the 2 apart, putting 6 or so feet between them which caused Alex to smirk because she knew it was going to annoy Daniel a little. "I probably should like... shower before this campfire." Andy leaned over sniffing the air around Daniel, "You should too. You stink." She laughed, and Alex laughed too.

"Yeah he Does." she smirked once more. "I don't doubt it. But I had that. Party pooper." He said while nudging his sister. Alex was quiet this time, and folded her arms as she watched them interacting back and forth. She was missing her own brother already.

"See you at the fire?" Daniel guessed and took off towards his cabin and a nice warm shower. Alex just raised her hand in a half attempt of a wave, but he wouldn't of seen it as he was already gone. He hadn't even said a word to her since she got back, but she wasn't going to blame him as he did look tired.

She silently watched him leave, then glanced once to Andy and Trinity as she dropped her arms from the fold, then headed passed them with her gaze to the floor as she headed towards where Ajax went. Why were boys so confusing? one minute they act like they're super interested etc, then the next it feels like you're invisible and don't exist until he wants to notice you again. Men... complicated as they are you just can't stop yourself from liking them.

He finally got home and hopped straight into the shower once he had stripped down to nothing with his clothes at his ankles. With his bare ass towards the bathroom door, he stepped out of his clothing, and wandered into the walk in shower of his.

The warm water cascaded over his tanned skin once he had the water flowing out of the shower head, and while running through his thoughts, he tilted his head back to let the water cover his face. It was relaxing, and quiet. Just how he wanted it before all the music, and others having a good time. He ran his masculine hands over his muscular torso before tilting his head back once more, then turning his head to the door as he heard the front door. No doubt Alex was home, so he finished up, and wrapped a towel tightly around his waist so it wouldn't fall down. "Alex.." He called to her as he headed out of the bathroom, and towards the landing.

Roles were reversed and Daniel pinned her in some wrestling position with the help of his magic stored up his sleeves. She strained against him struggling to wriggle and writhe for freedom. Words were heard but only proved as distant murmurs when she was trying to escape his hold. Only Daniel's was the most clear to hear but even his voice had a blocked/muffled vibe to it. Probably all the taunting she was missing. "Tap out." The impossible request was never going to happen. So the surprise to follow when she parted from him, six odd feet away was very much a let down. Trinity was regaining her strength from the whole fried alive scenery too so she could have fought all night. Instead she didn't even get to literally kick his ass as departure from the fight.

Trinity sat up quickly,nonetheless checking on her foes current condition then her gaze moved to Wes who smiled sweetly to her. She didn't get that guy. Trinity had just faced one heck of a brawl, been separated by force, and would obviously be relatively mad about having her head pressed to a guy's shoulder and chest for that long. She probably looked like hell and felt like hell yet that was his exchange to her. She blew her fringe out of her face. And though, she couldn't offer Wes a smile in return, the anger subsided.

Groups of people split-up in their own little herds, presumably to prep themselves for the campfire tonight. Though she weren't a social butterfly, she wasn't sure she wanted to miss out on all the events. Telling and showing were all too different. But that didn't make her a conformist either. It could genuinely be fun.

Trinity got up, and headed for her cabin. A shower seemed a good place to start.

Jennova spent a majority of the day inside her cabin unlike the rest of the campers. She had too much on her mind to even consider training. She angered her father... And that was something she never wanted to do. Disappointing him is one of the most painful things she ever did. She shouldn't have protected Ajax. She should have let him die... Eventually he will anyways with this war coming. Someone as selfless as Mr. Valis won't survive while trying to protect everyone.

She wasn't going to go to the campfire. Hades children were never the most welcome or invited. But Jennova figured if she didn't go that it would reflect poorly on her. If she wanted to get back in her Father's good graces, she need to know what's going on. And she can't know that if she didn't spend time around them. Although she partially saved Ajax, she knew it wasn't enough to not seem suspicious, especially with how much she disappears off into the Underworld.

With a sigh, Jennova finished the glass of wine she was drinking and moved to her feet. Unlike the smelly masses around camp that were all probably filing into showers from training, Jennova decided to search for an outfit. She didn't need a shower because she hadn't been training and she took one in the morning. She felt no need to try and look overly attractive. So instead she put on a simple, comfortable outfit. Then made her way towards the bathroom to braid her hair and cover up the dark circles under her eyes with a little make up.

D I A L O G U E : # 3 9 B 5 4 A

Wes could have stayed in the shower forever, and at that point it seemed like a better plan than going to the campfire. But he reminded himself that he told Alex he'd go. And he knew she'd never let him live it down if he didn't make an appearance. Demi Gods, drinking and dancing... What could possibly go wrong? Wes allowed himself to stand under the steaming shower for a moment or two longer before shutting it off and stepping out. He dried off and grabbed a towel, tying it around his waist. Not like he expected company but it'd be his luck that someone would barge into his cabin while he's just standing around in the nude.

Wes shook water from his short hair with his right hand while his left hand opened the closet door. "What does one wear to a campfire beach thing anyways?" He sighed as he began fingering through his clothing. He assumed that since it was more of a party, that people would actually attempt to look attractive. Not like he really had to try but he still wanted to look nice. After a few minutes of searching, he decided upon a simple outfit because if he dressed any nicer he was sure he'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Ripping off his towel and tossing it onto his best, he began to get dressed. Once done, Wes went to the bathroom to fix his hair and spray on a little cologne. He then looked down at his watch, sighing before exiting his cabin. He considered detouring towards Alex's cabin but he figured she would head there with her brother. So instead he decided to slowly walk down the path that he thought lead in the right direction, considering he hadn't actually been to the beach yet.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

Andy snorted and laughed when Alex agreed with her, "Yeah he Does." Her laugh was cut off when Daniel said, "I don't doubt it. But I had that. Party pooper." Then nudged her. She shook her head before pushing him away playfully. "I might take your advice, See you at the fire?" "Sure thing. I'll meet you at your cabin, we'll walk together." Andy could only guess that Alex was picking up on how strange both of their brothers were acting as she saw the brunette look down at the ground. "Hey..." She walked over to Alex, bumping her shoulder into the girl's. "They're just guys." She leaned in to whisper softly, "Dress cute and he won't be able to ignore you even if he tried." Andy smiled towards Alex and gave her a wave before she jogged off towards her cabin.

It only took Andy a minute or 2 to reach her cabin. After entering and closing the door, she pressed the button on the wall that closed the curtains on her near entirely glass cabin. She pealed off her clothing piece by piece as she made her way towards the bathroom. Before getting into the shower, she stopped to look in the mirror. She was surprised that most of her bruising was gone. Andy wondered if it was due to Ajax relocating her rib or was their heightened healing due to being a Demi God? Either way she was happy she didn't look like a smurf anymore.

Andy turned on the shower then stepped under the hot water. She let out a sigh enjoying the warm water over her aching and sore muscles. After getting cleaned she slowly slid to the bottom of the shower, sitting on the ground under the cascading water as she tried to clear her mind. So much had happened in the past 2 days that she could barely think straight. And she couldn't help but notice how quiet and strange Ajax acted after everything. After 5 or so minutes, she ran her hands back through her hair before exiting the shower. It didn't take her long to throw on an outfit, then blow dry her hair. She decided to leave her hair down since she assumed she wouldn't be doing any fighting.

Finished getting ready, Andy headed out of her cabin making her way towards Daniel's. Considering how close they were she was there in no time. Andy didn't waste her time waiting outside or knocking. Instead she just entered his cabin, blocking her eyes with her hand. "I hope you're decent... Seeing your naked butt is not on my to do list."

"Hey..." Alex heard, causing her to look up. Andy walked to her, then bumped her shoulder into her, causing her to chuckle softly. "They're just guys." She leaned in to whisper softly, "Dress cute and he won't be able to ignore you even if he tried." Andy smiled towards Alex and gave her a wave before she jogged off towards her cabin. Alex was smiling too. She was right, and the thought of his face looking at her in the outfit would be picture perfect to her. Girls got major silly when it came to boys, so she got that perky little her back onto her feet before heading to her cabin. Hopefully her brother was in a good mood, because she didn't want him being the party pooper.

She had just gotten through the door, and placed her keys back into her pocket before looking towards her brother who had called out to her from hearing the front door. He had his towel around him still for now. "You're going to actually have fun tonight, right? because I want at least one normal stress free day. I don't fancy babysitting my big brother."

"You're going to actually have fun tonight, right? because I want at least one normal stress free day. I don't fancy babysitting my big brother." Ajax laughed because he knew exactly what she was on about. One time he had gotten drunk back at home, and Alex had to sit with him all night due to him drinking a little too much, but he was threatening to scale the roof naked, and knock on their neighbors doors. She couldn't blame him for celebrating with his friends like that, because that was the day he graduated from High school. It was the happiest day of his life as he hated it.. even if he was the most popular guy there.

"Al, I'm older now. I was young and stupid back then." He reminded her. "I know. Still funny though." they laughed and headed off to their rooms to get dressed.

Being a child of Hades had those weird unappreciated perks. One of them accounted for reviving the deceased and tonight, while everyone was under the influence of booze and sloppy hook-ups, he could use his own company to keep him sane. Unfortunately, while many didn't pass his cabin, it wasn't sound proof enough for him to be undisturbed by all the activity going on towards the beach.
He concentrated on bringing back his girlfriend. While everyone else had their own intimate company so would he. But rather than all the flings, he'd have just have the perfect one. He didn't understand why it didn't occur to him sooner to try and bring her back. Maybe he was never ready to face her and expected a pissed off soul. But now he was ready and he'd bare whatever came his way. David just wanted to see Caroline again...

Nothing happened. Nothing. After attempt and attempt, everything remained still and silent like his cabin always was. Not even a cool breeze seeped through.

He sighed out and moved to have a shower washing the sorrow away.

David wasn't sure for how long he had been standing under the warm cascade of water but his hand had found the tap and stopped the stream.

His body moved through the motion of getting dry and clothed and somewhere in his subconscious mind, he figured he'd go to the campfire. Who knows, maybe he'd be able to inflict his pain on others or play master manipulator.

After all that rough tumbling and tussling with Trinity, warm water running over his bare body felt better than good and he was embracing it. "I hope you're decent... Seeing your naked butt is not on my to do list." And then it was over. He thought he heard the cabin door but no one chose to visit Daniel. With the new bunch of newbies though and his sister on board camp, that was obviously a change. He turned off the water and got dressed in his clothes for the campfire, laying ready on his sink. "No. Yeah." He yanked his zipper up quickly then walked out of the bathroom. "I'm good. What do you think?" Daniel stood with his arms out showing his outfit to his more fashion sensed sister. Well she might not have been but most people had a better idea than him. "Jacket? No jacket?" He flicked it on and off his shoulders.
It seemed too formal and neat for a campfire where there was a solid possibility of him getting dunked under the water, so he shrugged it off and turfed it on the couch.

"And dressed to impressed I see," he commented on Andy's wear. He draped his arm around his sister's neck and smiled and pointed to the door. He was ready to go, she seemed ready to go. The door was the next obvious step. "And what's wrong with my butt?" He chuckled and led the way.

Alex was all set, and she was excited a lot more now than she was before. She hadn't been to a beach party before, but her brother had told her about a couple he had been to, and they sounded like a lot of fun. Plus, Daniel was going to be there, her brother, and Wes. Her three most favorite guys on camp.

Hopefully the music wasn't going to be rap, that type of music really annoyed her because none of their lyrics made any sense at all, not to her at least. Anyway, she'd enjoy herself no matter what because no one likes a downer at a party. "Ready to head out?" she called out to her brother from outside his bedroom door. While waiting for him to respond, Alex made sure her makeup was looking alright in the mirror that hung on the wall in the lounge, and then checked her hair. She was looking G O R G E O U S.

"Ready to head out?"

Ajax finished up before heading out to where his sister was, his eyes looking her outfit over. "Al, bit short don't you think?" Alex rolled her eyes. It wasn't really short, but for brother standards it was as he would prefer her to be in a dress that covered her knees. "It's fine." Ajax wasn't convinced, but he dropped the subject and held out his arm for her. "If you say so. Lets go then before everyone starts having too much fun without us." They headed out the door together and began walking down towards the beach. They didn't need to lock their cabin up, because who exactly would want to climb a tall ass tree just to snoop around? yeah they had quite a lot of valuables, but surely no-one was dumb enough to steal from a Valis.

Anyway, they both soon arrived at the beach, and a couple of Demigods were already there with the campfire blazing. Drinks were on hand already, but there was no music or food yet. The staff would have it covered because Ajax could see one of the staff members in the kitchen when they passed it.

On her travels, she didn't know why she wasn't expecting to bump into others so she was a little too surprised to hear Wes', "Hey Blondie!" call. She turned to him and slowed her pace, waiting for him to catch up. He nudged her gently followed by "I see you decided to go." Trinity gave him the same eye up and down from when they first met. "Eh, well I never made any promises. Except that I'd tell you first" She added and shrugged half guilty. "Just kinda figured you'd already be there." She left the additional sprouting his flirtiness comment to herself.

After a moment or two of silence had drifted by Wes spoke again."Hey so..." then seemed to be contemplating his choice of words which was always wise from a child of Aphrodite next to a child of Ares so she let him take his time. "Alex asked me to get close to someone... Try to find out information." She frowned in confusion. It was not at all what she was expecting. Trinity waited and listened with fixed attention of where he was going with the whole confession. Was it her? Because really, she wasn't an open book but Alex could just ask herself. "A girl... And I... I just wanted you to know that whatever you see me do... I don't mean it." Odd. Trinity was a little slow to find the right response but he didn't wait around anyway, instead changing his pace and walking off on her.

"Um. Okay..." Trinity wasn't entirely sure what to make of that slice of information or why Wes had shared it. Or why he walked off on her for that matter. But she proceeded to the camp fire at her own pace.

"Alex." Trinity wrapped her arm around the female Valis before she got comfortable with another. "Have a drink with me. What's your poison?"

With or without Melissa's help...
One trip from the kitchen to the shore-line had only been enough for one basket of rolls and the drinks (alcoholic and not, from whiskey to apple juice there was something for everyone to enjoy one could hope) in their rolling ice-chests to make it there, and barely enough time to start a fire, and set up the tables, pillows, blankets around the fire but at enough of a distance to allow for dancing to occur. Seraphina had returned to the kitchens for the second trip to bring back most of the food - this, or that, or anything else in between - in their own travel containers stacked high but secure on a dented, rusty, and old radio flyer wagon; and retrieved from her office before locking it and heading out the door, 'J.E.F.F' - which was an old beat up stereo box some Hermes kid had stolen or a Hephaestus kid helped fix at some point in time, an Apollo kid (with some Hermes assistance) had acquired a couple mixed CDs (from all genres, to time-periods, and other things in between, a wide taste-basis anyhow) for it to rotate playing through during campfire nights, and no one really knew anymore what it's name' acronyms stood for anymore. "I think that's everything, Orion, Ilias, except..." She frowned for a moment, down at her own appearance thoughtfully. She'd spared herself the time in the morning before leaving the families' home of the demigod funeral she'd attended to get a shower, before leaving for groceries and to return home to camp finally after her two week long trip, so she was alright in that department; but her clothing was well travel-worn and she had not had the chance between arrival to setting up the campfire to change into something better serviceable for a party. Exhausted as she was from the long day so far, she still had one trick up her sleeve to solve that dilemma before anyone else saw her; a moment of concentration, and the clothing she studied shifted - the jacket, shirt, and pants changed into a beach-appropriate dress, the wrist watch became bangles, etc - the perks of 'camouflage'. She reached up to remove the African butterfly hair-clip that pinned up her hair into a messy bun, freeing the long curls and hopefully hiding her errant stray aways. "Ready." Orion snorted, before grasping the rope tied unto the handle, and began pulling; while Seraphina stayed beside the stacked food items, to keep their balance and keep them from falling; and Ilias brought up the rear, dragging an empty box behind him labeled 'shoes' (for those that preferred not to have sand in their shoes and socks, and could remove them at the separation of grass and sand if they wanted to).
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

"Thank you Orion," Seraphina whispered as they arrived, and the black Pegasi nickered softly in return, before heading back into the shadows - more than likely to return to her cabin to graze, or nap - and would return later to help her clean up after the campfire. "Ilias, leave the shoe box there, and oh, here," She paused, slipping off her flats, that Ilias grasped in childish excitement to dunk into the box with his own tennies and socks with Nemo characters printed on them. "Now, you want to wait here? I'll come get you?" "Ook." Ilias hummed, as he sat down on his rump, picking at his shirt. While the boy was eager to meet and make new friends, the sheer amount of demigods already congregating (half of which were new that he hadn't meet yet, or didn't recognize right away in the darkness lit only by the campfire) made him nervous; and he liked the job of being 'in charge' of the shoe box... Seraphina knew him well enough, he'd prefer to wait for her return.

She grasped a armful of containers, before moving to one of the first nearby tables, that already had a couple demigods sitting around it - she already knew Daniel, and two others were new but she had probably met their mortal parents, had their paperwork in her office, and their names rattling around somewhere in her head - with a soft smile and nod of greeting, before getting down to business and began setting down and uncovering food items down upon it. It was quick enough work, "Ah. This feels spiritual. We should all hold hands and chant." "Or you could set up J.E.F.F... Unless sporadic shifts of spiritual silence and chanting suit your fancy better?" Seraphina murmured lightly in return, before breezing unto the next table - not patronizing, or demanding, but rather simply stating an obvious point gently. She'd get around to setting up the music eventually, but it would be a bit of time until then while she unloaded the little red wagon of food unto the tables. A quick mind could only get around so quickly with only having two hands...

Jennova rolled her eyes when she heard the sigh. "I heard that," She said in a very monotonic fashion. She headed down the steps of his porch and out onto the path that lead towards the beach. She glanced back over her shoulder towards David. "Civil facade. What's your excuse for going?"

Jennova laughed coldly, crossing her arms over her chest, walking side by side with her brother. "As much as I am thrilled with having just your company," She watched as excited campers ran past them, "We are not liked brother. I need to get closer to them all to know what's going on.... To tell Father." She ran a hand through her dark brown hair, letting out a soft sigh. Jennova needed to do whatever she could to get back on Hades good side. He was not happy with what she did. She told him she'd leave Toby, and that helped a fraction, but that wasn't enough. She knew he wouldn't be satisfied until she gave him something he could use.

It wasn't long before they reached the break in the tree line that opened up to sunset lit beach and a large campfire. Honestly, Jennova didn't know if she should just walk right into the crowd or what. She wasn't going to stay on David's heels. She knew he liked her company about as much as his company was enjoyable to be around. It was rare enough that he came to this little event. Deciding to blend in, she grabbed a cup of mystery spiked beverage. As she made her way to a seat near the fire, she took a large drink, sitting down a few seats away from Daniel and the new Aphrodite boy.

Wes slightly cursed under his breath realizing he sat down without a drink. How dumb. He looked over in time to see Daniel nod towards him. "Ah. This feels spiritual. We should all hold hands and chant." Wes laughed half heartedly as he stood and went to grab 2 beers before returning to Daniel. He held out one towards him with a friendly smile. "Don't expect me to be singing kumbaya."

Wes rested the edge of the bottle cap on the side of a bench, slamming down on the top of the bottle with his hand to pop the cap. He then brought the cool glass to his lips, taking a long drink. As he brought the bottle from his lips he saw a dark brunette make her way into the campfire circle. He could only assume she was Jennova. Although Alex said he didn't have to get close to her. She did ask him and he wanted to help in whatever way he could.

With a sigh, Wes chugged about half of his beer, attempting to man up. He never had restraint when it came to flirting with a beautiful woman. And Jennova was beautiful no doubt. But 2 days at this camp and he doesn't feel right flirting with someone he has no intention to pursue. So once he mustered up enough strength, he walked over towards the girl. "I don't believe we've met... I'm Wes." He nodded his head towards her. It was obvious she wasn't expecting someone to converse with her. But she raised her drink slightly, "...Jennova." Wes tried to make a convincing smile. "Pretty name for a pretty girl." He clinked his beer bottle before taking another drink, his gaze intent on hers.

"I'll save it for anyone that appreciates a good butt when they see it." Andy chuckled towards Daniel after his comment. "You do that. Last time I checked we're not Jamie and Cersei Lannister." She grinned teasingly towards him before looking out towards the beach. It was prettier than any beach she had been to with her father. Then way the sun was setting off in the distance made the waters look so rich and warm, while the sky was painted with rich oranges pinks and purples. And although the fire was inviting as well, she wanted to enjoy the sight while the sun was still up.

Andy gently squeezed Daniel's arm while shooting him a smile before leaving him to converse with Wes. She also gave Wes a slight wave on her way over towards the refreshments. Andy poured herself a red solo cup of the spiked punch, then took a drink. She considered taking a seat around the fire, but instead she slowly walked away from the fire. She sipped from her cup occasionally as she walked through the sand along the edge of the tide.

When Andy was 100ft or so away from the fire, she turned towards the water. She stepped out of each of her shoes, leaving them behind on the dry sand as she walked towards the water. She finished her drink, leaving the cup on the shore before she moves out into the tide. She smiled softly as she began to close her eyes. Andy loved the feeling of the wind through her hair and the slow tide brushing along her legs. It wasn't until she felt like it was just her and the ocean that she began to become a little home sick. She missed her father, not being an army brat. She made more friends here the short time she's been at camp then the entire time she was with her father. And as much as she missed her father, Camp Athens was her new home.

Jennova was surprised when a new camper came over to her and began talking to her. She tried to stayed as interested as possible through the introductions and whatever else. She did after all need to try and become more friendly with the campers. So who better than one that wants to flirt with her.

Jennova couldn't help but laugh at Wes when he said, "Pretty name for a pretty girl." She raised a brow, "You serious?" She asked before taking a drink. It was so obvious now that she didn't know how she could have missed it. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, smirking slightly. "Son of Aphrodite... Am I right?" Wes chuckled before taking a drink of his bear. "Beauty and brains." She couldn't help but roll her eyes again at the flattery while taking another sip of her drink. "I hate to say that I don't think I can guess your parent though."

Jennova smiled, finishing off her drink and moving to her feet. She took a step towards Wes, poking his chest with the index finger of the hand that held her cup. "When you figure it out, you let me know." Jenn wasn't one to appreciate flattery and wanted to slip out of that situation when she could. So she walked over towards the refreshments, refilling her glass, looking around for her brother.

"When you figure it out, you let me know." Jennova said while poking his chest with her index finger before disappearing over towards the refreshment table. Wes quickly brought his beer to his lips, finishing off its contents. He was glad that that was over. He knew Alex wanted his help and he wanted to help her, he just hated how uncomfortable that made him.

As he stood near the crackling fire his gaze drifted about the campers at the beach. He raised a curious brow seeing Ajax and Daniel talking. He could only imagine the awkward conversation going on between the 2 about their intentions with the other's sisters. Talk about a confusing situation. Then as he looked over at Alex he saw her talking to Trinity. He couldn't help but imagine what they were talking about. Wes' gaze lingered on Trinity for more than he should. He cleared his throat, glancing down at his hands.

Andy stood peaceful and quiet as the tides rolled in time and time again. The cool water running over her feet calming and soothing her. It's funny how she came to party or whatever was going to happen and she immediately went off on her own. It was hard for her getting used to being around people who weren't scared of her or bullying her. It was nice though. But she had to get used to no longer being on her own.

Andy ran her hand back through her hair, looking towards the campfire. It didn't take her long to see her brother talking to Ajax which immediately caused to stomach to sink, fearing what they could possibly be talking about. She didn't want any hints from their body language, so she quickly looked back towards the ocean. Andy lightly kicks her foot in the waves as she moves throughout the knee high water. Coming to a stop when she sees something sparkle in the water, she leans over grasping it in her right hand. As she pulls her hand out of the water to inspect the object she can't help but smile when she sees it's a small blue pearl.

█▐ ♔┊"Thank you. But you.. Look deceivingly cute. I mean you got a lot of power in the tank and you look really pretty."
Alex chuckled with a smile. Trinity didn't have to explain, she knew what she meant. "Thank you." she replied with a little bow of her head. It was nice to finally get some time with this girl, because Alex felt as though she was leaving her out, or anyone else out that she hadn't managed to meet yet. Hopefully that would change. She didn't like people being alone.

"'Ajax put you on a limit before I get in trouble for it?" Even if he had!? Alex didn't give a damn. Tonight was probably going to be the only night they get to have some time to relax, because you just never know when trouble would kick up again in this place, so she needed to make the most of it like everyone else. "I won't tell him if you wont.." she grew a little grin so the whiteness of her teeth were just peeking out between her soft peach colored lips as she took the bottle gently from Trinity.

As both the girls headed on over to where Andy was, Alex looked towards Daniel who was talking to her brother. "Hi, Daniel.." she greeted him while passing by. Her eyes were so invitingly playful, yet warm at the same time. She enjoyed the very sight of him, and what he was wearing made him look even more handsome than he already was. "You look amazing." she gave him a wink, then carried on walking with Trinity who had greeted Andy before her. "Andy. We come bearing gifts." Alex raised her brows with a smile as if to say, 'Awesome, right?' "Totally stole them from the kitchen while no-one was looking." she told her while pointing her thumb over her shoulder towards the direction of the camp where the kitchen was, then smirked with a bump of her elbow gently into Andy's arm. "So you got to help us get rid of the evidence."

She laughed, then slowly stopped as she noticed Theo sitting by himself with more than one drink. "I'll be back, Ladies.." she headed on over to him while leaving a trail of footprints behind her in the soft clear sand. "Theo, right?" she held out her hand to him. "I'm Alex.. daughter of Zeus. You enjoying the party so far?" she smiled softly towards him.

█▐ ♔┊"Don't flatter yourself. I'm outta your league anyway."

Ouch. Ajax couldn't help but laugh. "You're breaking my heart." Ajax took a drink for a moment. He was feeling the effects already, and he had lost count on how many he managed to get through. Did he care!? not really. After all the crap he had been through, and all the crap he was going to go through next.. he needed it.

As Daniel took a look at the Trio, so did he. Alex was finally having the time of her life, and bonding with the two girls she had always wanted to meet. He just hoped that she wasn't going to drink as much as he was. Reckless wasn't in Alex's nature though, and Ajax was proud of that. Their mother hadn't really been home before they got to Camp Athens, so it was Ajax who had to had to raise his little sister. At the age of just 16, he was cooking for her, taking her to school and making sure she got to bed on time.

"Good, because my sisters been through a lot, and she's all I have. We're both lucky to have someone who cares about us as much as they do. I'm not going to hurt Andy, which is why I won't give her false intentions. I'll always be honest with her." he promised. He never broke promises either, but of course Daniel wouldn't know that.

Ajax now looked to Wes. "Wes.. you want another beer?"

Theo relaxed where he was as he worked his way through the bottle of vodka first. He enjoyed watching and reading people and quickly became lost in this task. Ajax and the other guy were having a really serious conversation, but Ajax looked pretty drunk already. All the guys were clustered up by the fire really, but Theo had no interest in speaking to them at the moment.

Theo's thoughts were soon interrupted by footsteps coming from the direction that the girls had gone earlier. He saw the brunette girl approaching him with a smile on her face. Damn, what a smile. Theo thought to himself as he tried to place her lineage. She had an air of confidence and importance about her. She looked pretty familiar too. He smiled back at her a she spoke."Theo, right?" she said as she held out her hand to him. Theo nodded his head and was surprised she knew his name until she finshed her statement. "I'm Alex.. daughter of Zeus. You enjoying the party so far?" It made sense then since the children of Zeus knew everyone. That also answered why she looked familiar. Theo had met her once before, but she was a little girl then. Theo took her hand and allowed her to help him up off the log.

"Well Alex, I'm sure you already know this but I'm a son of Artemis." Theo said with a sarcastic drawl.
"And yes I'm enjoying the party. I actually just got here. Mommy dearest made me come." Theo made a face at the words mommy dearest that he hoped would draw a laugh. This girl was hot, and he was definitely flirting. He remembered the drinks at his feet and bent down to pick them up. "Hey you want a drink? I grabbed strawberry and grape... or you could help me finish off my vodka." Theo said holding up the two drinks and the motioning to the half empty bottle.

Wes glanced over towards another peculiar guy who arrived with Jennova not long ago. Apparently some girl was talking to him and he wanted nothing to do with it. Because not long later the girl stormed off. Wes shook his head. He may not be the best man but he definitely wouldn't treat an innocent girl like that.

"Wes.. you want another beer?" Wes shook himself out of his thoughts, turning his attention towards Ajax. He hadn't realized him and Daniel must have finished their conversation. He nodded his head with a smirk. "Why not? I have no plans tomorrow... I can put 'nurse my hangover' on the agenda." He laughed while grinning and shaking his head. Wes doesn't even remember the last time he got drunk or had been to a party. So why not just go all the way.

Glancing around, Wes realized everyone was sort of just standing around, definitely nothing fun. His brows furrowed while he began to think of something fun for everyone to do because obviously whatever they were doing wasn't cutting it. "How about a game of Truth or Dare?... Summer camp wouldn't be camp without inappropriate unsupervised games with alcohol!" He made sure he said it loud enough for almost everyone to hear. He then brought his right hand up to his mouth to whistle loud enough to get Alex's attention. Once she was looking his way he waved his hand for her to come towards the fire.

"Have you been talking crap this whole time? The sand is more interesting than you. I'd rather hear total bullshit about dragons and unicorns than your pet cat, guinea pig, Snuffles, or whatever. Pimps and hoes, brutal ways to die, than whatever the hell it is you're saying." Jennova couldn't help but over hear the conversation her brother had with the girl. It took a lot for her not to crack up so loudly to make the girl feel worse.

Instead she quickly brought her drink to her lips, chugging back whatever ounce of laughter she had. Then ate a couple pieces of the finger food that lied out on the table. "Enjoying getting close and being liked?" She looked over in the direction of his voice, seeing David now standing beside her. "Can't ya tell?" Jennova raised her glass in a cheers before taking another drink. "Don't sweat it anyway. There will probably be some opportunity." She shrugged her shoulders, not really caring much anymore.

Jennova glanced up from her drink when she heard Wes suggest, very loudly, "How about a game of Truth or Dare?... Summer camp wouldn't be camp without inappropriate unsupervised games with alcohol!" She raised a suggestive brow towards her brother, "You sure you aren't psychic?" Jenn then grinned evilly as she hooked her arm in David's, turning him around with her. "We're game!" She dragged him along with her as she went to take a seat around the fire.

"Andy. We come bearing gifts." Hearing her name called caused Andy to look up from the pearl in her hand. She smiled, laughing softly as Trinity waved the bottles in her hands, Alex following behind. Andy stepped out of the tide, putting her shoes back on before slipping the pearl into her pocket. She then made her way towards the blonde.

"Well who doesn't like gifts?" Andy took one of the bottles not really caring what the flavor was. She then took her free hand, waving it over the bottles causing the caps to disappear. "Totally stole them from the kitchen while no-one was looking." Andy laughed, "So you got to help us get rid of the evidence." Andy raised a finger to cross her heart, "Scouts honor."

"I'll be back, Ladies.." Andy waved before pressed the bottle to her lips, taking a drink before. After a minute or 2 she heard a whistle that grabbed her attention. She glanced towards Wes who was waving for them to come back to the campfire. "I wonder what he could want?" Andy looked between Trinity and Alex curiously. She then shrugged her shoulders, "We probably should go see what their up to... Keep the boys out of trouble." Starting towards the fire she glanced over her shoulder towards them, "After all, boys will be boys."

Once she made her way back towards the campfire, Andy looked towards Ajax and Daniel. She took another sip of the drink, before wrapping her free arm around Daniel's shoulders. "What's going on?" She then allowed her gaze to meet Ajax's, flashing him a slight smile before looking back towards her brother. She wasn't dumb. Andy had noticed he was acting strange after everything so instead she just kept her distance unless he wanted to talk to her.

"How about a game of Truth or Dare?... Summer camp wouldn't be camp without inappropriate unsupervised games with alcohol!" Wesley had called to the world. Jennova raised a brow at David, meanwhile he rolled his eyes. "You sure you aren't psychic?" "I wish I wasn't." Things only got worse though when Jenn hooked her arm in his "We're game!" she announced loud enough and dragged him towards the game. "What the hell?" he hissed at his sister then straightened up as the group gathered. He didn't think anyone would buy into him actually being excited about a game of Truth or Dare but Jennova had dragged him along for the ride now.
So he could only grit down and endure it. Maybe he'd get to laugh at the stupid shit people did in the name of a dare.

He nodded along with Ajax. "I'm not going to hurt Andy, which is why I won't give her false intentions. I'll always be honest with her." That was odd and cryptic since neither boy announced their intentions with the other's sister. Instead they simply stated common courtesy to not hurt the other. But Daniel didn't push it. He didn't want to.

Then was about the time Wes called for a Truth or Dare game. And Daniel being Daniel was in no position to refuse a good game. That was where all the interesting chaos happened.
Andy slung an arm around Daniel's shoulders. "What's going on?" And then a weird exchange over him to Ajax. At first he was confused,but he didn't want to push it or even bother to know about tension in paradise. "Uh, well Wesley over here, has just suggested a truth or dare game." He pressed his tongue to his cheek brainstorming what he would like others to do. "And I dare you, to skull the rest of that drink." Of course that wasn't a real dare. That was just a warm up one for Andy until both the children of Hecate got in their zones. Nothing for the group to sit and stare at.

█▐ ♔┊"Well Alex, I'm sure you already know this but I'm a son of Artemis. And yes I'm enjoying the party. I actually just got here. Mommy dearest made me come." as he made a face at the words mommy dearest, Alex chuckled and smiled with her pearly whites on show. How come I feel like I've met him before? his next question broke her from her thoughts. "Hey you want a drink? I grabbed strawberry and grape... or you could help me finish off my vodka" Alex wasn't too keen on the Vodka. She had tasted it once before, but it needed some flavor to it. "You're adorable.. I'll take the strawberry please." she took it from him gently. "Thanks, handsome." she clinked her bottle against his, and took a drink from it with a slight smirk to the corner of her lips as her eyes remained on Theo's.

She could feel her brothers eyes burning into her, judging her for flirting with someone else. Confusion was probably on his mind at this point, because didn't she like Daniel? Alex had been ignored when she passed, she wasn't Daniel's girlfriend, so why couldn't she flirt with another guy? Daniel and Alex had no intentions of being anything but 'a thing' - if he wanted to flirt with some other chick at camp, then he could. Alex didn't own him or anything. Though she probably would be jealous.

Wes had put his right hand up to his mouth to grab Alex's attention. She turned to look at him, and saw him waving his hand for her to go towards the fire. "You coming, Theo? I heard truth or dare is going to be played. You can sit by me if you want to." she was excited for this game already, but a little worried about the truths. There was no way she was going to over share with the group. Some things had to remain secret.

Alex gently took Theo's hand, and lead him towards the campfire to join in the game with everyone else. Hopefully this was going to be all kinds of dares and truths. Alex was a daredevil just like her brother, so there was probably going to be no dare she wouldn't do. If they asked her to strip naked!? bring it on.

"Al, are you game?" her brother asked her once she was there, her hand still holding Theo's. "Hell yeah."

█▐ ♔┊Ajax had to admit, he wasn't liking how Theo took an interest in his little sister, and that Alex was flirting with him. Ajax heard that Theo was a bit of a womanizer. He expected it from Wes with him being the son of Aphrodite, so he had no choice to be that way.. but he wasn't Alex's father, and he couldn't tell any guy what to do, but if anyone hurt her!? then they'd soon learn and know the wrath of Zeus.

Ajax now knew that he preferred Daniel for Alex over anyone, because at least Daniel wasn't all over other women. He may be a little playful e.t.c, but his complicated feelings were for Alex mainly. "Hell yeah" she had replied to him, causing Ajax to smirk. His sister was always up for a challenge like him, and that in itself was a challenge because they would try outdo each other every time with practically anything. It had always gone on since they were kids.

Ajax left Daniel with Andy after giving her a smile, and wandered towards the campfire before taking his seat near Alex who was now waving Wes over to come sit with her and Theo. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the Hade's kids making their way over. He wasn't happy about their presence, but having them participate was going to make it even better. "So who's first? and is everyone here?" Ajax shouted while looking around at everyone gathered at the campfire so far. He was slightly drunk already, but at least he wasn't too drunk like a few years back when Alex had to look after him.

In no time they were moving back to the fire to oversee the hype the boys had caused. Trinity took her time dawdling back to the fire because they didn't exactly need to be tackled down at the current time and she didn't see the hurry anyway.

Trinity rocked up just in time to catch the word that truth or dare was in play and recommended by no other than Wes. Why wouldn't he? It was the perfect excuse to drink more, pash random girls and that was dream enough for lover boy. She bent down and undid her boots, prepared to join despite the bad idea it was already cooking up to be in her mind. But she also saw Melissa bailing quickly too. Body is basically art. Tattooed chick. She hit Wes!? And Trinity was going solo in truth or dare, without any tag team or secret alliance? Trinity placed her empty bottle down then ran after her half sister, cutting her off just before her cabin.

"You're gonna leave a sister all alone? Come on," she gestured back to the fire. "Have a drink. Unwind. Get on good terms with Ken. And seeing as you have breasts, you're already half way there." She smiled tightly. But rather than stick around too long for Melissa's response, she began jogging back to the fire. The girl could make her own call. No descendant of Ares could be pushed into something they didn't want to do.

Trinity sat on her own once she reached the beach again. Far as she knew, those who wanted a piece of challenge were present.

Well she's definitely flirting back... Theo thought as he let his own smirk play on his lips. He took a swig of his vodka, a pretty big one in order to show off. He shook off the awful after taste with a shiver and another funny face. She didn't really catch it though. Theo followed her gaze towards her brother. Ajax was staring pretty hard. Not like Theo was doing anything, so he shrugged it off. He did need to talk to Ajax about this war thing soon. Theo might be a cocky asshole sometimes, but he knew what side he was on. He was completely behind the children of Zeus, and he would prove that in time.

Just then a whistle called everyone to the fire for a game of truth or dare. Theo was never one to turn down a dare. "You coming, Theo? I heard truth or dare is going to be played. You can sit by me if you want to." Alex was practically beaming at the idea of the game.
"Sure, I'm down." Theo said with his head back to show his confidence. Alex took him by the hand and they walked towards the fire. As people were gathering, Theo once again caught Ajax's stare. He shook it off. He had no ill intentions with Alex... at least not tonight anyways. He didn't want to be the same old person anyway. This was a new beginning for him. He saw that now. Theo broke away from the deep thoughts and prepared himself mentally for whatever dare might come his way.

"What the hell?" David growled towards her as she dragged him to a seat beside her. She couldn't but laugh evilly while shooting him a taunting wink. "You never know, you could actually enjoy yourself if you tried..." Jenn slipped her arm out from the bend in his after he sat down beside her. She then took a sip of her beverage before holding it towards her brother, "Hmm?"

Jennova knew that he was pissed that she forced him to get involved but honestly she didn't know many people who would want to try and anger a Hades child. So she assumed people would tip toe around them or avoid involving them at all. After a moment or 2 she leaned over towards him, playfully elbowing him, "Hey you never know the stupid things someone may have to do or the juicy secrets that could come spilling out... Could be fun?"

As she sat there waiting for the game to start she saw Alex leading a different male other than Daniel by the hand towards the camp. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth before leaning into whisper in David's ear. "Moving on already? Or... Do you think she's trying to make him jealous?" She kept her gaze intent on Theo. She hadn't seen him before but she'd be lying if she said he wasn't attractive. Probably not her type but had the potential to be easily manipulated.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

Andy watched Ajax as he returned the smile. At least he smiled back. The gesture made her smile grow slightly as she looked down at her feet. It wasn't long after than Daniel answered her question. "Uh, well Wesley over here, has just suggested a truth or dare game." She raised her brows curious and already preparing to play. Sounded more fun than just standing around drinking. Before she had a chance to reply, Daniel added, "And I dare you, to skull the rest of that drink." Andy smirked, quickly chugging her drink before slamming the bottle against his chest. "You know its not a real dare if you don't ask me truth or dare first."

Andy laughed but quickly stopped when she saw Alex bringing another camper towards the fire, holding his hand. She cleared her throat, looking down at her hands then looked over at Daniel. She didn't quite know her brother would react. Obviously they both had some amount of feelings for each other, but she could only assume that seeing a girl you liked holding another guys would hurt. Although Andy knew something was up with Ajax, it'd still hurt if she saw him flirting with someone else.

Trying to brush it off and not show too much concern, Andy grabbed Daniel's hand, nodding her head towards the fire. "Sit with me?" She didn't really wait for a response. Instead she gently pulled him along with her as she took a seat on a bench beside David. After sitting she looked over towards him smiling. "Hey. How are you?" She turned her gaze towards the fire, but still talked towards him. "Didn't see you at training today. I thought I was the one who got beaten up by the minotaur." She laughed softly looking back over at him. "Thanks again for the help with that last night."

D I A L O G U E : # 3 9 B 5 4 A

Wes grinned towards Alex as she returned towards the campfire. He over heard Ajax talking to her, "Al, are you game?" "Hell yeah." He laughed, winking towards her. "Glad you're joining us. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't drag you down with me, beautiful."

Wes raised a brow slightly as Ajax waved for Wes to come over and join them. Without hesitation he joined the group but Wes wasn't subtle about anything. He stood facing the small space between Alex and Theo. So of course, he turned around and wiggled his way into the seat between them. Once comfortable he let out a comfortable sigh before looking over towards his buddy Alex. "Sup buddy?" He then grinned towards her, then up at Ajax sending him a sly wink.

"So who's first? and is everyone here?" Wes glanced around, and at first there wasn't any takers. So he rose his hand before speaking. "I guess I'll go... After all I suggested it." He glanced around at all the campers with a menacing grin, coming to a stop when he was looking down at Alex. "Bestie dearest... Truth or Dare?"

█▐ ♔┊He laughed, then winked at her for being game. "Glad you're joining us. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't drag you down with me, Beautiful." Alex chuckled. "Partners in crime, right?"she couldn't wait for this game to get started, and as Wes wiggled his way inbetween herself, and Theo, she had to smirk at her bestie with her eyes on him. She knew exactly what he doing, and she loved it knowing that she had Wes and her brother to look out for her. "Sup Buddy?" he grinned, and winked towards her brother. Yep, he was definitely doing what she thought he was doing. "Come on you handsome dork, get on with it." she laughed, elbowing in his ribs lightly.

"Bestie dearest... Truth or Dare?"

"Trust you to pick me first." She playfully narrowed her eyes on him. Alex couldn't believe how much this place had grown on her, and the best friend she could finally appreciate and care for. This campfire party was a good idea with everything that had been going on before, but the tattooed female didn't think so. Anti-Social much? maybe she just had too much going on and didn't feel like partying, but she wasn't even giving it a chance.

"Okaaay, Mmm.. Dare."

She thought she might as well start it off this way, because she didn't fancy sitting around this camp fire and sharing her entire thoughts, or things about her past etc. That information was reserved for those she trusted, and that was her brother, Wes, and Daniel. It was hard to get her trust, so if anyone broke it!? then they'd have to spend a life time to get it back. Almost.

█▐ ♔┊Oh this was going to be good since his sister picked dare, and he didn't miss the wink from Wes as he wriggled himself into place which made Ajax smile. He knew for a fact that if he wasn't around to watch Alex, then Wes certainly would, because those two had become really good friends in no time. Alex was the first girl that was able to not feel herself become weak at the knees infront of him. It wasn't because he wasn't attractive, because he is.. she just didn't see him in that way.

He looked around the campfire at the others until his eyes rested upon Andy as the fires warm flames glowed against his face. She was sat with her brother and looked gorgeous in what she was wearing. Even though he was being distant from her, she still looked happy because she was strong. He liked that about her the most.

David grunted in response, not giving Jennova the credit for speaking his own thoughts. Even so, fun wouldn't be how he'd put it. More like an opportunity for them to pounce on and David pretend it was fun. But Jennova by all means could enjoy herself in the process. Why not?

He moved to take a seat waiting for the foresaken game to commence before Jennova leaned towards him and whispered, "Moving on already? Or... Do you think she's trying to make him jealous?" David looked up searching for what she was talking about then his gaze returned to the sand almost laughing. "Don't know." He whispered back. "Honestly, I can't keep up who's with who. Probably moved on though searching for the perfect mate when she 'ascends to the throne'." David naturally scowled then glanced to Daniel.

He felt sorry for the guy knowing he had some interest in the Valis girl. But he needed someone more to his chaotic standards. "Imagine Daniel on Mount Olympus. Heck, imagine us on Mount Olympus." That thought amused him most.

"Hey. How are you?" David turned to his new company and couldn't help but return the smile. "Didn't see you at training today. I thought I was the one who got beaten up by the minotaur. Thanks again for the help with that last night." Who said he didn't have friends? He glanced to Jennova and smiled smugly before turning back to Andy. "I have my own methods in training. Some that are looked down upon among the common riff raff." He waved a hand about the fire, vaguely gesturing to other demi-gods. He lowered his voice as Alex chose a dare. "How's your bruises anyway? Healed?" David looked her up and down. She looked well considering the whole bull ride she went on.

HEX:#8b9068

With her steroid arms, Andy pushed the bottle to his chest. "You know its not a real dare if you don't ask me truth or dare first." Daniel chuckled. Dares and challenges were simply funner. Surely she knew that as well. Andy being Andy though, she did.

Daniel saw Alex walk hand in hand with some newish guy. He wasn't familiar that Alex got cosy with every guy on the camp so quickly. But it looked like her trend at this rate. He pressed his tongue to his cheek, laughing once and threw away Andy's bottle and snatched himself a new one and plucked Andy a new bottle too. She grabbed his hand and nodded towards the fire. "Sit with me?" Then initiated to pull him along. Daniel followed Andy, sitting on her other side. Wes chose Alex, wedging himself between the new guy and her. And Alex proposed a dare.

Meanwhile, Andy spoke to David and he passed her a drink. He sat forward watching the exchange silent for the moment. Andy could make her own call on the Hades duo...but Daniel had to be in the other ear. "Are you two friends now or something because you tamed a Minotaur together?"

"Don't know." David whispered back towards her in response to her question. "Honestly, I can't keep up who's with who. Probably moved on though searching for the perfect mate when she 'ascends to the throne'." Jennova laughed halfheartedly at the comment about not knowing who is dating who. It was the truth. This camp was nothing more than a overly glorified High School for the magically challenged. "Mate," She snorted at the word, "I don't even know if that would be a good word. It seems gods don't remain very faithful... Bangin' whomever they want then... boom... Here we are." She said motioning towards everyone. Gods liked to screw whomever they wanted not caring if it resulted in Demi God offspring or whatever else.

"Imagine Daniel on Mount Olympus. Heck, imagine us on Mount Olympus." Jennova looked over towards her brother, "Brother... We won't be up on Mount Olympus." It was true. If the Demi Gods were to take their parents places and become the new rulers or whatever was going on. Well, they'd be down in the Underworld. "Neither would them," She nodded her head towards Daniel and Andy, "Hecate lives in the Underworld as well. Unless by some chance the Valises actually choose them to be their partners.... They'll be with us."

Jennova raised a brow slightly as the Hecate siblings sat down on the opposite side of David. Speak of the Devil. What surprised her most wasn't that they sat next to them but that Andy talked to David. Did they even know each other? Well, Jennova must have missed more than she thought when she was in the Underworld last night. She couldn't help but look slightly confused when she saw David smile. He never smiled, strange. Then to put the icing on the cake, he looked back towards her, grinning a smug little smirk. Ok so he has one friend. Well whoopty doo for you!

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Curious

Viviane had left as soon as she had arrived. With her mom falling dangerously ill, she had rushed back home to help her step-father take care of her mother. Thankfully Viv had water healing capabilities which she used to restore her mother's health. At first being back home felt kind of nice, being back in the presence of familiar faces and all, but after the first two weeks of returning home she was itching to get back to camp to resume her training and meeting new people.

She was back, finally. Looking over her warmly lit cabin brought a smile to her face. Her father had requested she get one by the lake so that he could visit her when he could, and she was glad he had. It was perfect. Nothing pleased her more than being by the water.

Stepping onto her back dock, she sat plunging her feet into the cool clear water. Off in the distant by the beach she saw a flickering light. Must be a fire. Wonder who's there. As anxious as she was to get back into the swing of things and make new alliances and reunite with old ones such as Alex, Ajax, and Trinity, she stayed where she was gazing longingly into the distance.

█▐ ♔┊The look on his face said it all. She could tell that he was going to brew up a dare that was going to be epic, and she couldn't take it back. Not now. He grinned at her words. "But of course you'd choose dare... I figured as much." as he finished his drink, he held his gaze on her causing her to twist her jaw slightly as she held her eyes on his and smiling. The pit of her stomach was regretting her choice, but she wouldn't back down. It's not in a Valis to back down.

When he addressed her brother, every inkling she had was confirmed. This dare was going to be a tough one. Maybe Wes was going to come up with a dare that even a Valis would refuse? "Alex my dear friend. Thank god you wore a dress." He winked towards her. Uh-Oh. "I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Alex laughed and covered her face with her hands as she hunched over a little, then flicked her head back up with her hair following. Wes had chuckled while resting his hands in his lap as he patiently waits.

She glanced to her brother who gave her a look of 'I'm not pleased with this one' but it was only a game. Screw it. "You're on.." she told him confidently, then stood up to her feet in-front of everyone, and slipped her hands under her dress discreetly before wiggling her hips a little with her toosh whilst sliding her panties all the way down, then carefully stepped out of them without showing... parts. Now who to hand them to? Ajax hadn't watched at all, he couldn't, so he just took another drink from his beer while glancing around at the others.

Without a seconds thought, Alex handed her panties to Wes. She was smirking as she dangled them in-front of him, swinging them from side to side. Bet no-one was expecting that though.

█▐ ♔┊When he saw the shock on others faces, he looked to see who his sister had chosen. Wow. Plot twist! he leaned back slightly against the tree behind him with his right shoulder against the trunk as he watched the rest of the game silently. It was Alex's turn to pick someone to ask now. "Truth, or dare?" he heard her asking Andy. The other would get their turn no doubt, but they'd be lucky if they didn't because you were kind of on the spot for coming up with something decent, or fun.

It was going to be tough for him for a while since he needed to get the image of his sisters panties out of his damn head. That isn't in some weird incest way where he finds it.. he just didn't want that image in his head. Period. Scarred for life. No doubt it would be other guys greatest day to know that Alex wears lace underwear. In red.

Anyway, his eyes were trained on Andy to see what she'd pick.

David was happy with the idea of ruling the Underworld at some stage, and he knew Mount Olympus was another league but that's why it was so amusing. By force or some other odd coming, ruling Mount Olympus could still be in Hades reach, or so David liked to think. So instead of snapping at his sister on his emphasis on imagine, he stated calmly, "I like to keep an open mind."

"Oh?" Now he had some peaked interest in what his training looked like. "What kind of training do you do then?... Well if you don't mind me asking." David wouldn't have minded sharing with Andy. Necromancy, ghosts, soul transportations, etc was nothing extreme to Hecate's children but then she continued. "You're not like... Sacrificing kittens are you? Because I mean... Thems fightin' words." David smiled a little and shook his head, observing the game or more so the people around it.

Andy answered on her own body's condition which in two words was well enough. She wasn't sulking and she was moving free enough so David only had to take her word for it. Still, what she did was cool.

"So..." Andy shifted causing David to glance to her. "Do we actually think that anyone is going to call on us? I'd put money on it that we don't." David shrugged indifferent on the matter.

David scratched the back of his neck. He hadn't been very verbally responsive to Andy but he didn't mind the girl's company. So after a moment, he spoke again, "If I sacrificed kittens would you view me differently?" He asked Andy, paused then revealed a joking smile.

Soon enough, Minotaur Girl was called upon making him shift and turn more to Jennova so she could feed the public eye with her truth or dare. "You missed a lot, Jenn."

HEX:#8b9068

Daniel dramatically rolled his eyes at his sister's sass. He just wasn't familiar that the new bonding experience these days was to take down a minotaur together or tame it. If that was the case then he was sure he'd bonded with Trinity swimmingly, and could probably bond with the relatively new Poseidon girl if he placed Kraken in the lake or something.

"So...Do we actually think that anyone is going to call on us? I'd put money on it that we don't." Please. Where would this lot be without the Hecate children spicing up their lives? Daniel glanced to Andy. "It'd be a very dull game if they didn't," he replied. And that was him being modest. And slightly bothered Alex had the hots for every guy on camp. That would take some adjusting to.

His mind hit blank as Alex was dared to remove her panties and he watched and waited for her response. There was a bit of shifting and nervous laughter but she rose from her seat and followed through, wiggling gently out of them until the material gathered around her ankles and she stepped out of it. Red lace. What a choice. Was she expecting to get lucky tonight or just had good underwear sense of fashion? Then she dangled them in front of Wes. Lucky guy. He took a swig from his bottle where Andy was challenged to a truth or dare. "Told ya." Daniel said after swallowing the burning liquor down his throat.

"I like to keep an open mind." Jennova raised a brow in slight surprise, chuckling before responding. "I never thought I'd see the day where David more optimistic than myself." She shook her head before taking a sip of her drink.

Jennova couldn't help but watch her brother and Andy talk from the corner of her eyes. Although it seemed that Andy was doing more of the talking. But the girl didn't even seemed surprised that he was quiet and slow to respond. Wow, someone who actually likes David with his awkward disposition.

Trying not to eaves drop for too long, she looked away and back towards Wes and Alex. She rolled her eyes at the dare. Such a typical male. She was impressed that Alex did it without a second thought. Jennova leaned forward, resting her elbows upon her knees, curious to know who she'd pass her panties off to. Theo? David? Someone else? Jenn laughed when she held them out for Wes. With that she took another sip of her drink. She heard Alex then choose Andy, and not long after David shifted his attention back towards her. "You missed a lot, Jenn." "So I've noticed..." She tapped a finger upon her drink, "I guess I shouldn't wonder off so much."

Wes watched Alex laugh and hide her face. He caught a glimpse of Ajax's expression. It was obvious he wasn't happy about it. But it was just a game... And it's not like he was making her get naked or kiss someone. After all Alex is his friend, he wasn't going to be cynical. "You're on..." Wes nodded his head towards her as he leaned back slightly and waited.

Wes gave his friend the decency to look away as she shimmied out of her panties. He didn't see her in that way and didn't want to see any that was private. After a moment he looked back over seeing her grab the panties that were around her ankles. This was the part he was curious about, who to give them to. He was taken by surprise when he saw the red laced fabric dangling in front of him. Wes did a double take, laughing. He probably was blushing, he wouldn't doubt it one bit.

Clearing his throat, before taking another drink. He then reached out to take the panties from her. "Well that was a plot twist..." He shifted in his seat as he slipped them into his pocket. "I may have to frame these." Wes teased. He watched as Alex then chose Andy. Well this is going to be fun.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

Andy hadn't noticed she was kinda rambling and David was just smiling and nodding his head. At least she didn't scare him away, it was just how she is. When she finally stopped to breath he spoke up, "If I sacrificed kittens would you view me differently?" He then gave her a joking smile. This caused her to laugh. "Well yeah... You can't save a minotaur then sacrifice kittens." She bumped him with her elbow.

Her brother got her attention when he spoke, "It'd be a very dull game if they didn't," Andy laughed, "Maybe if they don't call on you... I'd be content if they didn't call on me." Apparently she spoke wayyyy too soon because she quickly did a double take when Alex said towards her, "Truth or Dare?" Andy laughed nervously. "Told ya." She looked over at Daniel, glaring daggers at him. "Shut up."

Andy brought her drink up to her lips, chugging the remaining contents, before setting it down on the ground. Truth was the easy way out but there were things that she'd not want to answer for everyone here to know. Then there was dare... More ballsy but she could also get dared to do something she didn't want to do. Choices. Andy sighed, burying her face in her palm. "...Dare." She peaked up between her fingers to look over at Alex.

█▐ ♔┊The look on his face that was taken by surprise when he saw the red laced fabric dangling in front of him, was the perfect picture. He did a double take while laughing, and she could of sworn she saw his cheeks flush a little red. Perfect. As he began to clear his throat before taking another drink, Alex was trying so damn hard not to grin with laughter. She had turned his dare right back on him, but she was impressed with how well he dealt with it. He had reached out to take the panties from her. "Well that was a plot twist..." As he shifted in his seat, he slipped them into his pocket. "I may have to frame these." Wes teased. "Pervert." she laughed while saying it.

Then turned her attention onto Andy who had picked dare. Alex didn't want to put the girl on the spot like this, but she didn't want to seem predictable by picking the one guy she really liked. "Okay, don't hate me for this.." she cringed slightly before taking a mouthful of her drink and swallowing it before giving the dare. "I dare you.." she looked around the campfire at the other players. "..to kiss Trinity. On the lips." Alex was going to say David first, but this was more entertaining for the boys. Especially Wes no doubt. "Sorry.." she added while looking to Trinity, then Andy.

To be fair, it was the only dare she could think of that popped up in the top of her head, and this game wouldn't be fun if there weren't any challenging dares involved.

"You need any help?" he offered, and then ruffled her sons hair with his hand, smiling down at the little man.

It was a bit unfair at the moment that Camp Athens was understaffed, and Ajax had been here long enough to know enough about the place to even apply as a staff member himself, but he didn't have the time with training and looking out for his little sister who in his eyes!? was still the baby of the family.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Cautious

A roar of noise sounded from the general location of the fire. Her curiosity and want to rejoin the group had gotten the best of her. "Fuck it," she mumbled to her self. It was either now or more of this brooding nonsense. Fixing her hair atop her head she ventured over to the beach. Briefly she thought of how they would all react to her sudden appearance. It wasn't exactly like she had given a formal goodbye in the first place. Perhaps they wouldn't even recognize her. Maybe this is a good fresh start.

Instead of walking all around the lake and through the dense woods, she decided to just walk over the water. Being Poseidon's daughter came in handy in more than just for the obvious reasons. What was she even going to say when she approached them all. For sure they were probably already in the middle of a rowdy conversation by the jeers and laughs she heard. Maybe she should just turn around and try again tomorrow. No. Her pride wouldn't allow her to sulk back to her cabin. This was happening now.
As she approached the group she saw some familiar faces and some new ones. And she saw underwear. This was a whole lot more than what she expected. She also heard something about truth or dare. "This looks interesting... hi everyone," she said bashfully from the outer region of the group. Looking over to a cooler she grabbed a beer and made her way closer. "I really need this," she said before taking a swing. A little liquid courage never hurt.

Trinity looked away as Alex accepted her dare but it was a bit of a wonder who she'd hand her token to. Trinity looked back in time to see Wes receive them which wasn't that much of a surprise, though she did expect Daniel to be a contender. Trinity glanced to him but he didn't look bothered, then again he wasn't smiling and laughing or smirking as he usually was.

She kinda zoned out somewhere along the lines just drumming her fingers absently on her legs. It was a nice night to be out tonight. Good weather, soothing sound of waves crashing on shore. Until she caught her name in conversation. Or was it a dare? She thought she heard kiss too. Trinity glanced to her sister for confirmation then Andy. She'd say they were good with each other but not at all on those kind of terms. But most of all she felt sorry for Andy. All the handsome guy range present and Alex dares Andy to kiss her. Not the ideal dare a new girl wants. People were so cruel in these games.

Trinity pulled a face that said sorry to her. On plus news, she hadn't had anything bad to eat that would taint her breath. And hopefully wouldn't be too awkward about it.

Trinity looked to Viviane who had chosen to join the party and grab a beer. "I really need this." And Trinity wouldn't argue with that. These kinda games required a little alcohol in the system for a boost. She saluted her greetings to the daughter of Poseidon that disappeared yesterday and reappeared today.

"Okay, don't hate me for this.." Andy brought her drink up to her lips, taking another long drink. Oh lord, here we go. "I dare you.." She sighed shaking her head. It's bad enough she has to do whatever is said.... But the anticipation. She just wanted the dare so she could get it over with. "..to kiss Trinity. On the lips... Sorry" Andy laughed shaking her head. "You can't say sorry after giving the dare..." She laughed halfheartedly, before finishing off her drink and standing up. Alex was smart saying 'on the lips' because if she didn't Andy would have just kissed Trinity's hand.

Andy walked slowly walked around the campfire to where Trinity was sitting. When the blonde gave her an apologetic smile, she just returned it with her own silent sorry. When she came to a stop before Trinity, Andy looked over to Alex flipping her the bird playfully. "I'd expect a dare like this from Wes, but not you." She laughed softly. She then brushed her hair behind her ears while sighing heavily.

Smiling weakly, Andy moved to crouch before Trinity since the blonde was sitting down. She rested her hands on either side of Trinity as she began to lean in. Quick and painless... Like ripping off a bandaid. She sighed softly before closing the distance, pressing her lips to the blondes. She held it there for a moment so that she didn't get yelled at saying it was 'in adequate' of a kiss and she'd have to do it again. Andy then pulled away and stood up. She then looked over at Alex, and bowed before she went back to take a seat between Daniel and David. After sitting down she looked between Daniel and David, then allowed her gaze to stop on David, "Truth or Dare?"

"Pervert." Alex called him after his comment about framing her panties. Wes chuckled, "Hey now... Underwear that pretty should be on display." He winked teasingly towards her. He couldn't help but smile slightly at the dare Andy was given. Nice, a little girl on girl action is always nice. He watched intently as Andy got up and made her way over to Trinity. He laughed at Andy's comment about him being the one to think of a dare like that. "Hey now... I'm innocent here."

Then it happened. Hot brunette and even hotter blonde kissed. He probably was staring in awe at the sight but he didn't care. Wes even felt a ting of jealousy wishing that he could possibly be the one to kiss Trinity instead. But that was one thought he'd keep to himself. He didn't realize until the kiss was over that his mouth was wide open as he watched. He quickly cleared his throat and took a drink. "Well that was nice." He chuckled as Andy made her way back to her seat. This game was definitely getting his attention, especially when she chose David. The guy was so... reserved that it could be interesting.

As Melissa took another swig from her bottle she noticed her sister lean closer to her. "You punched that guy?" Trinity asked in a quiet tone as she nodded her head at him. Flinching internally Melissa tried to keep her face blank as she responded in an equally low tone. "Yeah... He didn't really deserve it though. I overreacted." Melissa fell silent after that and took another drink, done with the topic when so many people were around to overhear. "Alex my dear friend. Thank god you wore a dress." Wes winked at Alex and Melissa watched him warily, knowing nothing good was going to come from a start like that. [b]"I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Melissa almost lost her cool, taking a drink from her bottle to keep from allowing a change in her facial expression. Internally Melissa didn't know if she had been about to smirk or frown but either way she knew that her near slip in composure was due to the alcohol.

While Melissa was no light weight, in fact being able to drink far more than most would estimae by her body mass, alcohol mellowed her out. While usually she would be extremely against being around so many people when she let her gaurd down Melissa knew that she was not the only one drinking and therefore wasn't much more vulnerable than she was usually. Melissa tried to block out the whole underwear exchange, focusing on slowly emptying her bottle. She was about halfway there when they finished and the tables were turned on Alex who had only momments ago made a comment about not being called on. A small smile graced Melissa's lips as she recognized the irony in the situaton and heard Daniel and Andy snip at eachother. "...Dare" Melissa went to go take another drink from her bottle but gasped mid drink at the dare given to Andy causing her to choke and spit a mouthful of vodka, making sure to hit sand and not another person, as she coughed violently. While she was used to the normal burn of vodka choking on the liquid made her throat feel like it was on fire. Taking a deep breath Melissa shot a pointed, half-hearted glare at Alex.

Viviane joining the group provided a momentary distraction from Melissa's outburst. Just as she was turning back to look at her half sister Melissa saw Andy lean forward and kiss Trinity. Without a word Melissa grabbed the bottle of vodka, now only a third full, and chugged the remains. 'This game is going to be the death of me if I'm not at least buzzed.' AFter she had finished the bottle she stuck it neck down into the sand. pausing she thought she heard laughter coming from behind her, the direction the woods were in, but after hearing no further sounds assumed she had imagined it. Knowing her limits, Melissa held off on opening the other bottle of liquor. While she could drink it like water, vodka was still a pretty strong drink and Melissa knew getting wasted during the game would probably be worse then playing sober. Deciding to focus on the game, forcing herself to think of it as nothing other than a game and not a chance to screw up, Melissa watched to see what David's choice would be.

"Yeah sure." After Theo responded Narissa grabbed her luggage, which she had left a few feet away from the door, and headed back to the path. Making sure not to stray from her original plan she headed towards the tree-hidden Cabin she had seen before. Reaching what seemed to be the end of the path there was a sudden break in the trees and a small clearing opened up in front of Narissa. The cabin was a bit big, hinting a a spacey interior but in was definitely uninhabited. After entering the cabin Narissa knew without a doubt it was to be her new home. The interior was open and the furnishings gave it a homey feeling. After a quick exploration of the house Narissa found what she assumed to be the master bedroom and set her stuff down on the bed.

Fifteen minutes later Narissa was starting to get fidgety. The fact that she knew a party was happening and she wasn't there was killing her but at the same time she really didn't want to be anywhere near the lake. As her annoyance and exsaperation increased her rationalism disapated and she decided to at least go see what everyone was up to. Changing into something more appropriate Narissa then headed back the way David had led her, stopping where the trees of the forest met the sand from the lake beach. Leaning against a tree Narissa watched as one girl took off her panties and handed them to a cute guy. The same girl then turned to a brunette in their circle. "Truth or Dare?" At the words Narissa couldn't help but smile, memories of her past experiences with the game temporarily distracting her. At the sound of laughing Narissa snapped out of her daydreaming and looked back at the group just in time to see on blonde girl recover from choking and the brunette kissing the blonde girl next to the first in the circle.
Narissa couldn't help but laugh as the brunette bowed to the person who gave her the dare. Clasping her hand over her mouth Narissa took a step back further into the shadows of the woods and hoped no one had heard her. For a moment she contemplated leaving before she got caught but then she saw the brunette turn to David. "Truth of Dare?" With a wicked smile Narissa leaned against the tree once more and watched, intrigued as to what the son of Hades would pick. 'This should be entertaining...'

"Well yeah... You can't save a minotaur then sacrifice kittens." David could've argued that he technically could and minotaurs had a better function in the world than cats as far as he could see but she was the wrong audience.

"So I've noticed...I guess I shouldn't wonder off so much." David smiled as that was the nice way of putting it. Yet people thought he was out of tune and anti social. He'd maintain his smugness in his one open minded friend because it was the only one up he had from Jennova. On that mind track... "Did self-righteous over there even manage to say thank you?" He gestured to Ajax. She at least deserved that for warping his ass out of the Underworld.

David couldn't help but shift his attention to the game as Alex dared Andy to kiss Trinity once she finally spat it out. He bit any dyke comment back from Alex. After all he didn't blame the two girls having to kiss, just the weird requester. If she wanted to see girl on girl action, she could just visit the internet rather than make two hetero war girls kiss. Yet even he didn't have it in him to argue this one. Especially since Andy moved over to Trinity ready to follow through.

Lips met and there was a spark of life in him making him smirk and have new appreciation for truth or dare. Right up to the point where Andy pulled back and headed back to return to her seat. He looked to Jennova then cleared his throat and returned his gaze to the fire as he clasped his hands together.

Andy returned by him with his stare intent on the fire letting her select a soul for the picking. "Truth or Dare?" No one responded so he risked a glance to her. She was looking right at him. "Really?" His hands dropped on his lap. David sighed out and headed over to the cooler and grabbed himself and Jenn beers. But most of all he needed that swig of encouragement as he stepped behind them, not bothering to get comfortable. "Okay, dare, I guess."

HEX: #8b9068 || Outfit

At hearing Andy's dare, Daniel couldn't help but laugh even at the expense of more dagger eyes. It was good to see the Valis' had some sense of humor. And more funny his sister had to kiss a girl. Though he had to admit, it was one of those scenes where he wasn't sure whether to look or look away. But at least Trinity wouldn't get all steamy with the kiss. So yeah...he trusted her with his sister. Even the thought of not having to worry because it was a girl made him chuckle again.

Daniel decided on focusing elsewhere, sure the daring and challenging side of Andy would do the dare properly as she moved away. He looked to his company, being the Hades duo without Andy in between. "Warming up that cold heart of yours with all the alcohol yet Jennova?" How that was his idea of a pick-up line or conversation starter, he didn't know. In fact he wasn't even entirely sure where they were with each other. But who did with the descendants of Hades?

Andy returned in no time, sitting between he and David and for a moment she seemed to be contemplating who to choose next. Then her gaze rested on David, making Daniel laugh quietly into his top as he tucked his chin to his chest and pulled it over his mouth.

█▐ ♔┊"Hey now... Underwear that pretty should be on display.

Alex shook her head with a smile and laughed. Such a smart-ass who always has something to say. That was one of Wes's traits that she liked about him along his personality. Alex tends to make sure she wears pretty underwear everyday, and it wasn't so some lucky guy can see them, it was just for her to feel happy about wearing nice things. "Thanks?" she chuckled, before turning her attention to Andy.

"You can't say sorry after giving the dare..." Alex smiled and shrugged softly before being flipped the bird which made Alex laugh even more. "I'd expect a dare like this from Wes, but not you."

"Right? but I think he rubs off onto me at times" she joked, giving a glace to him, then laughed and smiled once more before her eyes were back on Andy. Her sides were aching from just the beginning of this game for laughing so much, and there was still more people to be asked yet. Andy did well on her dare, and when the female bowed to her!? Alex smirked while clapping. "Well that was nice." Wes added when he saw the dare, but she knew that inside his head he had more than just, 'Well that was nice' going on up there.

When Andy picked David, she almost choked on her drink that she began drinking with her right shoulder gently leaning against Wes's left shoulder for support. It felt comfy, but she shot up while coughing on the liquid that had gone down the wrong way, even Ajax spun around to listen. David picked dare, and Alex was hoping that Andy wouldn't get her own back by asking Alex to kiss her one enemy at Camp. Even if he was handsome, it didn't stop Alex from hating him, or for wanting to fry his ass.

"Did self-righteous over there even manage to say thank you?" Jennova's gaze shifted over towards Ajax momentarily before looking back towards David. She shrugged her shoulders. "Honestly... I don't remember." She took a sip of her drink. "I didn't return until much later after him. Plus he had the whole camp freaking out." Jenn waved her hands in the air while making an overly dramatic facial expression. She rolled her eyes, "Can't have Mr. Camp Athens getting hurt..." She scoffed under her breath before muffling herself into her drink.

Jennova had no interest in the girl on girl action that was about to take place on the other side of the campfire. So instead she kept her eyes fixated upon her feet while she proceeded to empty the contents of her drink. Although her attention was grabbed by Daniel who now had no sweet and innocent sister to barricade him from her and her brother. "Warming up that cold heart of yours with all the alcohol yet Jennova?" Jenn raised a brow as she leaned forward to peak around David at Daniel. "Did you know... That alcohol warming the blood is actually an illusion. It tricks the body into thinking it's warm, when in fact the blood has not changed temperature. So no matter how much alcohol I drink I will still be a cold hearted bitch." With that Jenn raised her glass towards him, winking while making a clicking sound with her mouth. She then sat back in her seat and took a drink.

Jenn watched as the girl known as Andy made her way back to her seat between David and Daniel. The only part of this pointless game that caught her attention was who was picked next... Just in case it was her. When she heard Andy say, "Truth or dare?" But no name, and no one spoke, Jenn couldn't help be curious. She leaned forward, resting her elbows upon her knees as she took a drink. It was only then that she noticed Andy was staring right at David. Jenn lost it, spitting her drink out before cracking up laughing. David is going to kill me, she thought as she grinned evilly at her brother as he returned with drinks for the both of them. She took in her hand while watching him intently.

"Thanks?" Alex's chuckle caused Wes to laugh a little as well. He was only joking and she knew it. Honestly he had no idea what in the world he was going to do with a pair of red laced underwear. Probably keep them until an opportune moment where he could return them to her with a laugh.

After Andy made the comment about expecting a dare like that to come from him, Alex responded, "Right? but I think he rubs off onto me at times." Wes laughed. "Well... Only the best parts." He grinned. It was a good dare, although he probably would have tweaked it a bit. But either way, it'd never a bad day for some girl on girl action.

Wes smiled over at Alex as he felt her lean against his shoulder. Thankfully she did it when he was half paying attention and stable. If he wasn't they both might have tipped over and fell down. It would have been funny, but Wes wasn't in the mood to be picking himself up off the ground. Alex leaning on him didn't last long though. She quickly sat up, coughing back her drink. Wes lightly patted her back, looking at her curiously. He must have been in La-la land and not paying attention to whatever this big deal was because everyone seemed about as surprised as she did. "Okay, dare, I guess." He didn't know the guy that got dared but by the way everyone was acting, this must be a rare thing.

D I A L O G U E : # F 5 A 6 0 E

After she asked David truth or dare she had everyone's attention. Daniel was laughing to her left, Alex was choking on her drink, Jennova spit her drink out, and Andy was confused. She didn't see why it was such a big deal that she asked him. In her mind it was no different than asking her brother but apparently it was a big deal. She remembered hearing how David was one of those people who seemed to like no one and have no friends... But she had no problem with him. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. Andy thought to herself. Now she had the extra burden of having to think of a perfect truth or dare since it seemed to have gotten everyone's attention.

"Really?" Was David's first response. Andy just giggled innocently, while smiling towards him. He got up for a moment to get himself and his sister another drink. Apparently he needs more alcohol to prepare himself. "Okay, dare, I guess." Great... Even more pressure. How in the world was she supposed to think of something good that wasn't just making him skinny dip in the water or something like that? She was certain no one wanted to see David's dingle berries so she wasn't even going to humor the idea of that dare.

Andy seemed to sit around thinking for a long time. But after a good pause, she brought her drink up to her lips to get some encouragement before she spoke. "Alright..." She looked over at David, attempting to smile innocently but failing. "I dare you... to..." She was definitely drawing it out... on purpose. She laughed, "I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Andy couldn't hold her composure and broke out in laughter. But quickly muffled it into her drink, diverting her gaze. I'm a horrible person.

He took another drink, glaring at the back of Jenn's head. "Careful. Hate to see you choke."
"I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." As a man who didn't even like his space invaded, he was not favoring the whole dare of getting in someone elses space and dancing basically on them. Yet, David nodded to accept his fate and took his time looking around the fire and selecting a person. He had half a mind to give Andy one just so she could bite her own given dare but that kind of backfire stunt had already been pulled by Alex.

He circled the outside of people. David wanted someone attractive but quiet so they wouldn't go around screaming "remember that time.." David stopped at the Ares girls, smirked a little then kept walking. And as much as he would have liked to of displeased Alex, he didn't want to be up against her either.The newer brunette girl was very attractive. He slowed as he approached her but then felt it not entirely fair as his greeting card and he knew nothing of her personality. And she had just started drinking.

He kept walking and held out his hand to the tree line. "Come on." He gestured to the fire. "Poseidon's kids don't blend into shadows." David took Narissa's hand and led her to the fire, if only to complete his dare. Then turned to the children of Hecate. "Would one of you mind, please?" David made another head gesture.

Daniel waved a hand and made a seat appear for her and channeled some unnecessary music, making David glance back to the giggle fit he was having, thinking himself clever. David scowled gently but returned his gaze to Narissa and smiled a little. "Sorry." David shrugged off his leather jacket and braced himself. He wrapped it around the back of Narissa's neck gently as he stood over her legs and moved his hips, self-conscious not to grind on the girl. He chuckled at himself and this whole situation he was in. Narissa was probably his only other friend so far and he was gonna lose her because he danced over her with his awkward robotic hips. "Welcome to camp." He laughed, perking up his brows basically delirious. He took another sip.

Before any heckles came his way, he lowered his body's alignment with hers, hovering closer to her lap, shifting his hips with more ease at the expense of brushing against her. David tilted her chin gently with his index and middle finger towards his face. "Got time but I don't mind. Just wanna rock you girl." He smiled like it was their secret he did know a J.T song.

He got up after a moment and pulled his jacket carefully back. David turned to his traitor darer. "Now if that qualifies...?"

HEX:#8b9068 || Outfit

David was evaluating his choices carefully. Who to grace with a lap dance of his which held Daniel's attention. The only other girl he was close to apart from Jennova was Andy. So the question was, who would he not mind grinding on? He grabbed a girl Daniel was unfamiliar with. "Would one of you mind, please?" David gestured to the emptiness. Daniel fortunately got his meaning. After all a lap dance was supposed to be on the lap so a chair would benefit them both. But the music, that was his own added bonus to help David get in character which he couldn't help but laugh at. There were worse choices though. Slow and sensual for example.

He hit his legs, screwed up his eyes and tucked in his bottom lip as if feeling the song. "Don't be so quick to.... walk away. Dance with me. Let me rock your body. Please stay." When Daniel reopened his eyes he laughed at the mechanics of David. Yes, giving a girl you hardly knew was awkward but he was way too rigid.

In time though, he loosened up and just let the music take over. Daniel grinned and playfully covered Andy's eyes now that it was less painful to watch. "You can all thank me later." Except for Jennova, but they had already shared their remarks for the millennium so he didn't add it.

Daniel squinted and could have sworn he'd seen a bit of charm coming off David. Maybe he ought to consider being a male entertainer for his money and fame making path. But just as quickly he returned to himself, stepping away from the girl and turning to his audience. "Now if that qualifies...?" Daniel side glanced to Andy. She'd be the cruelest if she said no. "Even I feel like if the girls had cash they'd be making it rain, " he commented and chuckled. Who and what the hell he just witnessed, he didn't know.

"Careful. Hate to see you choke." David said in response to her choking on her drink when he was chosen. She scoffed. "Please... You'd have a field day if I was out of your hair." She mumbled under her breath before taking another drink. When she heard what the dare was, she shot up out of her seat so fast she nearly fell over from the head rush accompanied by the amounts of alcohol she was assuming. Jenn had no desire to watch her brother seduce some innocent person with his robotic hip gyrations.

Regaining her balance she walked over towards the table containing the food and drinks. She popped the cap off of a cool beer, chugging half of it's contents before realizing she was in Ajax's presence. Jennova cleared her throat before looking over at him. "Figured you'd be all gung-ho for the festivities." She took another large drink, "How's the..." She points the index finger of the hand that held her beer towards his abdomen where he was stabbed.

Wes sat there quietly as he sipped on his drink. Every so often his gaze drifted over towards Alex, gauging her reaction towards David's lap dance. He then looked around at most of the other campers. A good handful were watching intently. Wes assumed David wasn't the type to do anything like that. He himself didn't particularly feel like watching it. Sure the guy was decent for not seeming like the type who dances often but Wes knew he could do it better.

Wes had nearly forgotten about the guy sitting on the other side of him, and apparently the guy didn't particularly like being cock blocked by him either because after awhile he stood up and left the happy family. But what happened next made him stiffen in his seat slightly. The guy got 2 drinks and made his way over towards Trinity, taking a seat beside her and gave her a similar look he was giving Alex not long ago. Wes clenched his jaw, looking down at the beer he held before he brought it to his lips, chugging the entire bottle.

Andy sat there all too happily as she watched David grab some innocent blonde, making her his victim. She didn't realize what David was asking for until Daniel had already gotten the hint, forming a chair and getting some music going. "Don't be so quick to.... walk away. Dance with me. Let me rock your body. Please stay." Andy laughed and starting wiggling her shoulders, dancing along with her brother singing before adding. "So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more and you all come meet me in the middle of the floor..."

Before she even got a chance to enjoy watching the lap dance or singing and dancing to the song in her seat, Daniel's hand shot over her eyes. "You can all thank me later." She sighed, "Come on really? It's my dare!" So she sat there, sighing as the only sight she could see was Daniel's palm. Frustrated she finally pushed his hand away only to see that it was the end of the dare.

David was making his way back over towards her. "Now if that qualifies...?" "Well..." Andy stated, scratching her chin while smirking evilly. "One, my darling brother over here covered my eyes for the whole thing... So how do I even know you did it? Plus, the poor girl looks terrified." She motioned towards the blonde he was dancing for. "Lap dances are supposed to be sexy and seductive... Not terrifying David." Andy was having a hard time keeping a straight face as she fought the urge to crack up laughing.

█▐ ♔┊During David's lap dance on Narissa, Alex thought he wasn't too bad at it. She wasn't a pro at dancing or anything, that was just her opinion, but she still hated his guts. It wasn't long before she looked away, her eyes now on Wes who she had noticed a change of mood wash over him. He was tense in his seat. Her eyes followed to where he was looking, and she could see that Theo had wandered on over to Trinity. Now she knew what was going on with her bestie. Even though he wasn't her boyfriend, he truly liked her, so he had the right to be jealous. Maybe Theo knew Wes liked her, so now he was getting his own back for the cock blocking. Who knows.

While keeping her gaze on Theo, she spoke to Wes who remained beside her. "I wouldn't worry.. you're everything he's not." she now turned her gaze on Wes. "Trinity isn't the type of girl who is easily swayed by just any guy. She is the daughter of Ares, and that makes her tougher than coffin nails." even though she was saying it to comfort him, those words were the truth. One gift from being the Daughter of Zeus, was knowing about others like their father did. He did after all create the other Gods, but not Hades, or Poseidon.

After a while she was looking at Daniel. He was having fun, and didn't even seem to really notice her as far as she knew. Earlier he had ignored her, or maybe he hadn't heard her!? either way, it hurt a little to not be noticed by the one you like the most on Camp. She drank her beer, then placed it down on the sand by her feet before folding both of her arms as she waited for the game to move on to someone else.

█▐ ♔┊"Shush, not when your eating..." Ajax watched the little boys reaction to his mums words. He looked embarrassed, but Ajax didn't mind. He rubbed the little guys back. "Any help with clean-up or walking back the newbies (quite possible not accustomed to the amount of alcohol the seniors could shovel) would be greatly appreciated." "I'll help you clean up a couple of things, that's no problem" he smiled. "Hey, little guy.." Ajax crouched down to his level so he didn't look so intimidating. "If it's okay with, mummy, how about I show you something real cool tomorrow, huh?" Ajax had to do something for him, because a Camp like this really wasn't a place for his age, but he didn't question Sera about it. Not once. That was her business, and her business alone.

Ajax couldn't believe that David was grinding up on the new girl. Hopefully she wouldn't be too freaked out to the point of wanting to pack and leave already. She hadn't been here long. Literally. Once done with cleaning up a little for Sera, Ajax headed on over towards Andy after downing another drink. He was drunk for sure. "Hey, beautiful!" he called out to her while taking off one of the other demigods hats as he passed, and placed it on his head while dancing sexily towards her to tease her. He was even taking off his shirt like a male stripper, showing off his toned, muscular and tanned body. He tossed his shirt to the side which landed on someones head, and once close enough to Andy!? He took off the hat, placed it on her head, and began to do a little dance right there on the spot, "Boom!" He shouted, then began laughing with a grin.

"Hey beautiful!" Daniel's attention shifted from laughing at Andy challenging David again, to the strip tease Ajax had going on. And he was prowling for his sister no less. It was like witnessing a drunk mating dance and Daniel couldn't do it. He practically shot out of his seat and moved around the other side of the fire so he didn't have to catch a glimpse of it used on Andy.

He found himself near the daughter of Poseidon based on her demonstration of powers. "You got a 'commonly known as' name to share yet?" Daniel asked. "Or am I really that untrustworthy?" He looked her over once. Sure he had a renowned title of being a trickster but what was in a name? "Unless you like being referred to as little mermaid or Ariel. Suits me fine." He shrugged and smiled.

Andy questioned him following through his dare, making him glare daggers at Daniel and the girl that was really pushing her luck here. But thankfully, for once, a drunken AJ served as a distraction stripping off his clothes and making his way to Andy. Well somebody was keen for the dare he didn't get. David didn't know if he was drunk though, or drugged, he made that much a fool of himself.

Passing Jennova, he dropped off a comment. "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Despite it being a big episode of 'what the hell is going on' , David sat beside Daniel and took another swig of his beer. "So do I still pick someone-" "Please." Daniel responded quickly.

"Okay..." He looked around the fire for his selection. "Melissa. Truth or dare?" He knew she'd probably be just as uncomfortable being dragged into the game. Which made it all the better.

"You sure about that? I'm not gonna drink all of these." She glanced to a male that she had to admit, she was not familiar with, then the drinks he had in hand. "Well I'd hope not." Trinity commented. "But since you're here and offering, don't mind if I do." She plucked one of the bottles from him and gave him a smile. "I'm Trinity by the way." She held out her free hand for a shake and silently tried to discover whose offspring he was exactly.

After him there was a bit of a stir about sitting arrangements, causing her to flicker her eyes to the commotion. Ajax was dancing for Andy that forced Daniel to retreat and David to reconsider his own seating. "So are you newish or have I just been caught up in spars?" She asked finally and returned her attention to him. Trinity didn't think herself particularly bad at observing faces but it was always possible.

Jennova stood there dumfounded as Ajax ignored her trying to talk to him completely to shout a rather loud, "Hey Beautiful!" Then proceeded to dance and strip towards the girl. He was obviously drunk. Jenn couldn't help but wonder if he was going to regret that in the morning. She shook her head before running a hand back through her wavy hair.

David must have finished his dare because the next thing she noticed was him passing her stating, "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Jenn laughed, taking a drink. "You can say that again." By the time Jenn made her way back to her seat she quickly realized that she was sitting completely alone. David and Daniel must have dashed when Ajax tried seducing Andy. She sighed, sitting down by herself. New day same story. She was used to flying solo, so she was indifferent.

Wes must have seemed transparent to Alex because when she spoke she seemed to know exactly what was going through his mind. "I wouldn't worry.. you're everything he's not." He looked over towards his friend, smiling half heartedly. "Trinity isn't the type of girl who is easily swayed by just any guy. She is the daughter of Ares, and that makes her tougher than coffin nails." Wes chuckled slightly. "Eh... She deserves a better guy than me anyways." He allows his gaze to drift over towards Trinity. "Someone more like... her. Tough and independent."

Wes couldn't help but noticed how Alex was acting when she happened to look over towards Daniel. He was going to talk but his thoughts were temporarily interrupted by Ajax's show. Once he was done, he looked back to Alex. "You know... You could always make him notice you." He looked her over, "You look stunning. And if you take a more subtle page from your drunken brother's book, Daniel would be crazy not to look your way." He smiled reassuringly towards her.

David was trying to kill her with his gaze which only caused Andy to laugh more. It was only when she heard, "Hey Beautiful!" That she stopped laughing. She noticed people looking at her before she turned to see who was shouting. Ajax. She quickly shot her gaze towards her brother and attempted to reach out and grab him. But he was gone before she could force him to stay. Shit. It would be Andy's luck that Ajax doesn't say more than 2 words to her since what happened but once he's drunk she exists once again.

Andy couldn't help but smile and laugh when he took some poor campers hat, putting it on. Then Ajax started dancing very seductively while removing his shirt, stripping for her. She brought her hands up to cover her mouth, giggling while her face turns a shade of bright red. Man he's hot, even when drunk. He continued to close the distance between them, coming to a stop in front of her. Once there he put the hat on her head and do a little dance. "Boom!" He laughed and grinned down at her.

Standing up and placing a hand on his chest to try to calm him slightly. Her gaze drifted to where her hand rested on his bare chest. "Wow... You're hot..." She said quietly under her breath, obviously the alcohol was kicking in for her as well. She cleared her throat. "And half naked." Andy reached out, taking his hand in hers, leading him away from the camp fire. "Come on Magic Mike. Let's get some air before you show the whole camp your bits and pieces." When they passed the camper that had Ajax's shirt on their head, Andy took it in her free hand giving them an apologetic smile. She threw the shirt over her shoulder. Then grabbed 2 bottles of water.

Andy lead Ajax down the beach. When they were 100 or so feet away from the camp fire, she took a seat on the sand, patting the ground beside her for him to sit down. She held out a bottle of water to him before opening her own and taking a drink. She sat there quiet for a long amount of time before looking over at him. "You know Mr. Valis," She laughs softly, her gaze drifting down to her hands before back up at him. "You have a very interesting way of being disinterested."

"Really?" Melissa chuckled as she watched David sigh and got to get a beer. "Okay, dare, I guess." Melissa watched as Andy contemplated the options. "Alright... I dare you... to... I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Laughing Melissa watched as David circled the group before walking towards the line of trees. Surprised she turned and watched as he lead a unknown blonde to the circle. 'I knew that I heard something from that direction...' Silently Melissa watched David and the blonde. Melissa watched as David turned to the two children of Hecate, the startled girl in tow. "Would one of you mind, please?" Without hesitation Daniel conjured a chair and some music and David started. At first she was close to laughing at how stiff the son of Hades was but then he loosened up and showed to have a bit of skill. 'He's not bad looking...' All too soon David stepped away and turned back to Andy."Now if that qualifies...?" Just a moment later Trinity turned to her, speaking earnestly. "I think I need to stop drinking." Before Melissa could answer a new guy walked over with drinks and sat on the other side of her sister. With a brief wary glance at him Melissa decided he was harmless and focused her attention on the newest spectacle of Ajax stripping. The spectacle lost her attention quickly, moving on to watch some of the seating choices switch but as people settled in that lost her attention as well. With a sigh Melissa reached for the bottle in her lap. "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Melissa raised her eyebrows a bit and thought to herself. 'Don't underestimate yourself too much...'

As she opened the bottle of peach vodka David sat next to Daniel and she focused in on their conversation. "So do I still pick someone-" Daniel responded to David's question so quickly he cut him off. "Please." David's response was dragged out as his gaze roamed the group. "Okay..." As his eyes settled on her Melissa narrowed her gaze. 'Don't you da-' "Melissa. Truth or dare?" 'Son of a bitch....' Bringing her newly opened bottle to her lips she took a long pull from it and then looked David right in the eyes, a wicked grin on her face. Somewhere in the back of her mind Melissa heard alarm bells going off, telling her to keep acting indifferent, but the alcohol was starting to get to her. "Well usually I wouldn't back down from a challenge but everyone seems to be picking dare... I'll go with Truth."

Dialogue and Thought:#0000BF

The girl glanced at Theo with a confused look on her face. She must have been trying to place who he was, but the look went away as quickly as it had come. She replaced it quickly with a smile. "Well I'd hope not. But since you're here and offering, don't mind if I do." Theo couldn't help but let out a stifled laugh. She took a bottle from him as he laughed again. Theo couldn't help but notice the fire behind her eyes. He could usually place a demigod's parent, and Theo thought that this girl must be a daughter of Ares. Which made her a bad ass. Which made her even more attractive. Theo snapped backed to reality when the girl spoke. "I'm Trinity by the way." she said as went to shake his hand.

Theo took her hand in his but instead of shaking it he decided to kiss her hand. He smirked and her as he brought it towards his face. "Okay Trinity..." he said as he kissed her hand, never breaking eye contact... or his smirk. "I'm Theo." He slowly returned her hand to her and let go. He had really turned up the charm for that move, and he hoped it wasn't a bust. Theo continued to smile at her until he heard noise behind him. Theo followed Trinity's gaze to where some seats were moving around behind them. Ajax Almighty was pretty drunk and it showed as he danced half naked on a girl Theo didn't know. The guys near them moved away.

Theo let out another laugh before turning back to Trinity and waited on her to refocus on him. "So are you newish or have I just been caught up in spars?" That must mean that she wasn't new to the camp. He wouldn't try explaining the whole situation with his mother right now so he just went with "No don't worry. I just got here a few hours ago. I already know a few people though. I'm not real thrilled to be here, but I'll make the most of it." Theo rambled on as a result of the alcohol. Next to Trinity, another fierce looking girl received the next truth or dare and she chose truth. Theo stayed focused on Trinity though as the game hardly concerned him at the moment.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Amused

Viv was enjoying herself immensely. What with a roaring fire before her, booze, and typical teen games she couldn't help but feel at ease. Suddenly Daniel was sitting beside her. "You got a 'commonly known as' name to share yet?" At that she stiffened. "Or am I really that untrustworthy?" Now she was looking at him with a certain glint in her eyes. "Unless you like being referred to as little mermaid or Ariel. Suits me fine." She couldn't help but roll her eyes and laugh sarcastically.

On any other given day she may be a little irritated that someone would call her by that dreadful nickname, but considering that she was in high spirits and she had a little alcohol in her system she couldn't be bothered. But how he figured it out was beside her. Let the sly son of Hecate figure that one out. "Very funny." She looked him over then, "and shall I call you Loki? Considering you enjoying meddling with others." Feeling pretty satisfied with her less than clever comeback she finished her bottle of beer and glanced over to the blonde that had moved closer to them.
Trying not to stare but still trying to get a good look at the girl it dawned on her that she seemed familiar, or had familiar features she'd seen before. Features like in dad. Then it dawned on her that the girl may be her sister. Trying to be friendly Viv smiled at the blonde girl. If this was her sister, perhaps the two would get along well.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Excited

Well better late than never, Ian thought as he rolled up to the camp. He'd left with little to no information on this place other than it was "suppose to be good for him". Right, mommy dearest sure knew how to make him feel assured. His father did play a role in him coming here too though, and partially, okay a lot of him, had wanted to leave home and go to camp. Where else was he going to be able to practice his powers and be lucky enough to meet beautiful demigod girls?

He had already checked out his cabin and had seen that there was a party of something going down the beach. Not wanting to waste anytime he gathered some things and headed out towards the beach. Ian was practically giddy with excitement over the thought of partying on his first night. This can't be any better.
As he approached the gathering he looked over the people and a grin spread across his face from ear to ear. Speaking up loud enough for anyone willing to listen he announced himself, "hello fellow camp mates!" He paused and lifted up the case of beer he brought with him. "I've brought refreshments!" Setting down the case in the sand, he grabbed a can and started to join the merriment around him.

She watched her hand be brought to his lips then stared into his eyes, narrowing them gently as she saw him looking back into hers, a smirk plastered on his face. He kissed her hand which of course wasn't at all what she was after but was a kind, gentle enough gesture not to get too worried about him in terms of over power. And it did make her feel like a lady. On the other hand, of course, she'd kick his ass if he tried anything over friendly and mistook her for a bashful princess.

Trinity rested her hand in the sand as she leaned back on it. "Theo," she echoed and nodded in acknowledgement of his name so he knew she caught it. Normally, she'd never find so much appreciation for a name but Theo was pretty well picked by whoever his parents.

"No don't worry. I just got here a few hours ago. I already know a few people though. I'm not real thrilled to be here, but I'll make the most of it." Trinity narrowed her eyes on him again, sussing him out. "So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us?" She took a sip from her drink as she shot up her brows challenging Theo in his next response. Trinity was just playing with the guy of course. He didn't seem completely full of himself.

"hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!" Trinity looked to Mr. bubbly and energetic and laughed once. "He with you?" She asked Theo. Trinity couldn't entirely relate to the male's energy but she liked it.

"Very funny. And shall I call you Loki? Considering you enjoying meddling with others." Daniel smiled at her remark that she took her own evident pride in. So that was safe to assume she probably didn't have intentions of sharing her name with him yet. He looked into the fire as a smirk touched his feature. Would you believe it?"That's a new one actually," he commented.

He glanced to David's lap dance victim move to sit by the sassy brunette. Or near enough, she kinda lingered at that respectable distance. He looked between the two and chuckled to himself. Daniel could see the curiosity and calculation from both parties but unlike he and Andy, they decided to be rather hush about their curiosities. Andy had outright blurted "You look very familiar... Have we met before?" Then minotaur crisis then siblings.

He moved from little mermaid to the table with some snacks, hovering his fingers over the selection. Before the man with a plan rocked up. Or a man at least. Daniel hadn't actually seen him before. "I've brought refreshments!" He set the case down. Daniel only half hated to be the first to scab from the new guy. "Thanks, man." Daniel held out his hand as he scooped up a can of beer. "I'm Daniel. Child of Hecate."

"Well usually I wouldn't back down from a challenge but everyone seems to be picking dare... I'll go with Truth." David nodded in thought of his new task to conjure up for her. "Plot twist," he stated as thinking of a challenging truth didn't come so easily to him. But he was being small minded here. A daughter of Ares having to spill the truth? That was like the greatest dare. But what confession of a sort did he want to know, or how would he make Melissa squirm? David had to make an advantage of the opportunity Hades style. Initially he were going to ask her biggest fears but the whole camp didn't need to hear it.

He looked to Trinity and the same guy trying to pull his moves on her that came to the fire with Alex. With a flicker of inspiration he thought he found a pretty decent one. "Okay...hate to put you on the spot but I love it." He grinned. "In order of lowest to highest, list the demigods on this beach now, you'd go out with. Or feel even remotely attracted to." The Ares girls never revealed their affections or desires so he thought it'd be interesting to hear. And tease about if it came to it.

Dialogue and Thought:#0000BF

When Theo kissed Trinity's hand he caught the intensity behind her gaze. She was basically boring into his soul, trying to place his intentions. Theo could read his cues. She was the slow and steady type. He softened his smile as the conversation continued trying to make her feel more comfortable. He must admit though, he liked the sound of his name on her tongue. It caused his smile to grow for a small second before he controlled himself.

"So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us." Trinity raised her eyebrows at him while nursing her drink. Theo didn't find the comment harsh or accusing. He took it as flirting really, so he fired back with a simple response. "Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization ya know. Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you hear." Theo began the statement with a false tone of surprise to show he knew she was joking, but he ended it with his more melodic, charming tone. He was both serious and flirting, and he conveyed both with the smile he chose to employ.

Just then another guy reached the campfire and did so loudly. Theo looked towards him and then back to Trinity. "He with you?" she inquired. Theo shook his head. "Nope never seen the guy before..." Also in their vicinity things were getting interesting with the girl who had picked truth. She had been asked to rank the other demi gods in the order she would date them. This interested Theo, so he split his attention between the spectacle and Trinity.

█▐ ♔┊"Eh... She deserves a better guy than me anyways. Someone more like... her. Tough and independent."

Alex never liked it when Wes would put himself down. No-one on this camp was better than anyone, not even the Offspring's of Zeus. "Listen to me." Alex took a hold of his chin gently, turning his gaze towards her so it's away from Trinity who was still talking to Theo, then let him go just as gently as soon as she had his attention. "Just because you're the son to a Goddess of love and beauty, does not mean that you're not tough, or independent. You can accomplish anything if you set your mind to it. You can be anything you want to be." hopefully she was giving him decent words of wisdom, or whatever you want to call it, because helping people has always been her weakness. Even if they're strangers, she'd still try and help them in anyway she possibly could, even if it seemed impossible to do. Her father never gave up with anything, and neither did his children.

When the skies rumbled, Alex looked up towards the sky. Her father was there, she knew it. She'd be able to see him soon, because she was leaving for mount Olympus after the party. Ever since she found out about her father, ever since she knew what her and Ajax were, and what they were capable of!? she wanted to learn more.

"You know... You could always make him notice you." Wes was looking her over which peeked her interest to know what exactly he was going to suggest. "You look stunning. And if you take a more subtle page from your drunken brother's book, Daniel would be crazy not to look your way." His compliment was nice of him, and with his reassuring smile towards her, Alex smiled back softly before glancing to her brothers.. dance.. and covered her face with her hand in embarrassment. She was laughing though. "Thank you for calling me stunning, handsome. I guess I could grab his attention; but.. I don't believe that a girl should chase a guy. I like him, it's just.. I don't know. I don't think he feels the same as I do." She wasn't hinting at love because the both of them hadn't known each other that long, plus.. Daniel seemed the type of guy to have commitment issues. Alex never understood why men feared it, because a lot of women would still allow them the freedom to have a boys night or whatever men enjoyed to do. "It's best I just keep my distance for now."

█▐ ♔┊Andy stood up and placed her soft hand on his muscular chest to try to calm him, and he did. It was like a magical touch. Her gaze now drifted to where her hand rested. "Wow... You're hot..." her quiet voice made him smile, and her words were from the alcohol kicking in for her, but he didn't mind. She cleared her throat. "And half naked." she definitely wasn't blind. "I'm sorry if I've made myself look like a fool, but tonight is probably the only time I'm going to have where I can relax for a change." he never gave himself peace because he was too busy protecting mainly his little sister. Anything could happen at anytime at this place, but it was a lot safer than it was out there in the mundane world.

He wasn't stupid, he knew the two Hades's children were sneering about him with their childish words behind his back. Such cowards he thought as he glared at the both of them briefly before snapping his attention back to the beautiful Hecate daughter. "Come on Magic Mike. Let's get some air before you show the whole camp your bits and pieces." Ajax laughed. He wouldn't do that, not for them. He followed her down to the beach where it got a little bit colder from the fires flames, darker, and almost more quiet with the waves gently hitting against the shoreline in-front of them. He took a seat next to her, and looked across the water where the moon was shimmering over the top of the surface. Stars were beginning to come out which made it even more perfect for relaxing, and to wind down as he took the water that she had gotten for him. He took a couple of slow sips.

"You know Mr. Valis," He looked towards her, smiling as she laughed softly with her gaze drifting down to her hands before back up at him. She was beautiful, and cute. "You have a very interesting way of being disinterested." his smile faded a little. He wasn't offended by her words, it's just.. he hadn't really noticed the mixed signals he had been handing out to her. He didn't want her to think that he didn't like her, he just.. he wanted to protect her. She knew that though, so there was no point in going over it again. "I know, and I'm sorry. But, hey.. at least you know I'll always be here for you no matter what mood I'm in, right?"

Wes shifted in his seat uncomfortably as he saw Theo kiss Trinity's hand. Sure it was a gentleman like gesture but it still made his skin crawl slightly at the sight. He was quickly becoming disinterested in the campfire, contemplating heading back towards his cabin and getting some sleep.

"Listen to me." Wes sighed softly as Alex grabbed his chin, making him look at her. Here it comes. "Just because you're the son to a Goddess of love and beauty, does not mean that you're not tough, or independent. You can accomplish anything if you set your mind to it. You can be anything you want to be." He mustered up a slight smile, nodding his head with everything she said. "Yes mother." It had always been hard for him to see Aphrodite as a powerful Goddess. Honestly he thought it was one of the more bogus Gods. Ok so it made him handsome, but he had no desire to effect someone's emotions even though he had the ability to do so. He rather be a child of a useful god, but alas you can't choose your parents.

His gaze drifted back over towards Trinity. He had ignored the dare or whatever was going on. She looked beautiful in the light of the fire, it showed her fierceness behind her eyes. She was a strong independent woman that definitely deserved better than the man beside her with his direct gaze and pawing nature. Wes hated how quickly he fell into crushes... Yet another downfall of his parentage. They feel things more intense than a lot of others. He wished he could turn it off but one thing he'd never do would be to alter her feelings towards him. She'd like him all on her own or not at all. And no matter what she chose, he'd accept it.

"Thank you for calling me stunning, handsome. I guess I could grab his attention; but.. I don't believe that a girl should chase a guy. I like him, it's just.. I don't know. I don't think he feels the same as I do... It's best I just keep my distance for now." Wes nodded his head. Good point. "You should never have to chase after a guy, ever. You're far to beautiful and kind to have to convince someone they should have feelings for you or give you attention." He smiled towards her, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. "You deserve a guy that can't help but stare at you when you aren't looking and smiles at your beauty." It was the truth. She only deserved the best, to be treated like she was the only woman in the world.

Wes then cleared his throat, taking on a slightly more playful tone but still serious. "Take it from me. The best way to get a guy's attention... Is to make him jealous." He flashed a glance towards the fiery blonde, only briefly before looking back at Alex. "Just not him. Kiss anyone but him... Because then I'd really have a reason to break his nose." He chuckled softly.

Andy noticed the fading of his smile, even if only a fraction after her statement. Maybe it was the alcohol that was making her more straight forward. "I know, and I'm sorry. But, hey.. at least you know I'll always be here for you no matter what mood I'm in, right?" She laughed halfheartedly, looking down at her hands before taking another drink of water. Not particularly what she wanted to hear but whenever did a man say the right thing. "So I get to look forward to your moods and when you're in a bad one... Making up for it with drunken strip teases?" She peeked over at him while brushing her hair back from her face. "I think I may get whiplash from your moods." The corner of her mouth turning upwards slightly as she playfully leans over to bump him.

It didn't even feel like they were at a campfire anymore. Although the flames flickered in the distance behind Ajax, Andy couldn't see beyond him. He was most definitely handsome and his personality with all his flaws and perfections made him that much more attractive in her eyes. Before she lost the chance to say it or better yet the courage the alcohol seemed to give her, Andy decided to speak her mind plainly to him. "Ajax," She turned to look him dead in the eyes, "I know you want to protect me... And I know you don't want to hurt me if that's emotionally or physically." She leaned in a little closer to him. Not as if to kiss him but to talk to him quietly, what was their business was their's alone. "I am not scared of being struck by your lightning, or killed by a minotaur... I am scared of you shutting me out now that you've let me in." With that she slowly looked back out at the water, "That's the only way you could hurt me..." She whispered under her breath.

Andy was satisfied that she had the courage to speak her mind to him. There was no doubt she'd probably regret it in the morning when she was sober. But all Ajax has done is been honest with her and he deserved her honesty in return. After a long moment of silence watching the waters and finishing her water she brought her hand up to rub her shoulder, realizing his shirt was draped over it. Andy grabbed it, smiling to herself slightly. "I probably should give this back to you..." She held the shirt out towards him, but then playfully pulled it away from him. "Nooo... I think I like it better off." Andy looked him over before pursing her lips and nodding her head. "Yeah I definitely like it better off." She laughed softly, holding the shirt on the opposite side of her, out of his reach.

█▐ ♔┊"Yes, Mother" Alex didn't mean to come off as telling him what to do or anything, she intend to sound like a mother.. she just wanted to try and offer him some words of encouragement, and to just make him feel less stressed about anything that was playing on his mind too much. She'd carry all of his burdens if she could, just so he could feel peace. "..Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that." she told him gently. She knew he wasn't angry with her though because that was impossible.
Unless she did something to almost endanger her life, then her best friend would be really angry at her for a change.

"You should never have to chase after a guy, ever. You're far to beautiful and kind to have to convince someone they should have feelings for you or give you attention." She smiled back to him as he brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. He was right. If a woman has to chase her man, then it should be clear that he's not interested as much as she wants him to be.

"You deserve a guy that can't help but stare at you when you aren't looking and smiles at your beauty." That sounded likea fairytale. "I would really love that to happen." just the thought of catching Daniel staring at her when she wasn't looking would be one of those perfect, and memorable moments.

"Take it from me. The best way to get a guy's attention... Is to make him jealous." Alex tilted her head slightly while listening closely as she folded arms too. He flashed a glance towards the blonde, briefly, then was looking back at Alex. "Just not him. Kiss anyone but him... Because then I'd really have a reason to break his nose." Alex couldn't help but laugh. "Forgive me." With that tiny little bit of a warning, and with the hope of Daniel and Trinity looking at them, Alex leaned into to Wes, and quickly closed her eyes as she kissed him with her lips on his own for a good couple of seconds without drawing back. She didn't open her mouth against his, just puckered her lips up on his. Hopefully this wouldn't cause awkwardness in their friendship, because all she wanted was for Trinity to see Wes kissing another woman, and for Daniel to see her kissing someone he didn't expect her to.

█▐ ♔┊"So I get to look forward to your moods and when you're in a bad one... Making up for it with drunken strip teases? I think I may get whiplash from your moods."

Ajax couldn't deny it, his moods were like a tide the way they changed so quickly from one mood to the next, but he had always been the same, just not this much. Andy confused every inch of him (In a good way of course), but he didn't like having such a clouded mind over a girl. He never would compare Andy with the others. He didn't really have much to say though apart from yet another apology, but he didn't want to sound like he was repeating himself, so he kept quiet for now until she spoke again, but this time it was a bit more serious. More deep. "That's the only way you could hurt me..." were the words that she ended with, and he understood what she meant about him shutting her out, but he wouldn't do that. Not completely. "I won't." he told her, unsure if he could keep his word, but he'd try because he didn't want to lose her trust.

"I probably should give this back to you..." Ajax went to take his shirt off of her, but she playfully pulled it away from him, causing him to smile. "Nooo... I think I like it better off." Andy looked him over before pursing her lips and nodding her head. "Come on," he said while laughing. "Give it back."

"Yeah I definitely like it better off." She laughed softly, holding the shirt on the opposite side of her, out of his reach. He shook his head with a smirk, and tried to catch her off guard to grab it, but missed it. He was about you say something but a shooting star shot across the sky. "If you asked me.. I wouldn't even know what to wish for." Unlike others who always knew exactly what to say when they saw one. It wasn't that Ajax had everything, because he didn't, but there wasn't really anything that he wanted because he was grateful for what he already had.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Happy

He had at actually smiled. At what she couldn't guess. Was it because he thought the nickname she had given him was amusing or if she had made herself look like a complete knob. Either way she couldn't be overly bothered. "Glad you like it because that's," she poked him on the chest with her index finger, "what I'm going to call you." And with that he attention was drawn back to the blonde.

Silently she wondered why her father wouldn't bother to tell her she had a sister. It was only a common curtsy. You'd think that after all this time he may have just came down from where he stayed and said "hey Viv. You're looking well, also just thought I'd let you know that you have a sister. Alright well see you later." But no, that may have been too difficult for him to do. Her father was never good at breaking the news to her anyway. She thought maybe he was afraid of hurting her, but Viv was tougher than she led on. With that, she turned to look at the new comer. She thought she'd heard that voice before.

When she saw exactly who it was a smile ran across her face. "Ian, always good to see you," she walked over, stumbling slightly, to the son of Athena and hugged him warmly. The two had crossed paths before but it had been a while since she'd last seen him. Regardless when the two of them came together again it seemed like no time had passed at all.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Excited

Ian had been looking around the area when he locked eyes with a pretty blonde who he'd overheard talking to some boy asking if he was with him. All he did was smile and wink at her, raising the can of beer he held in his hand to her. Leave it to Ian to begin flirting as soon as he arrived.

Soon he found himself being approached by another, this time some male. "Thanks, man." He extended a hand towards him as he grabbed a drink and Ian took it grasping it firmly. "I'm Daniel. Child of Hecate." "Nice to meet you man, I'm Ian. Son of Athena." Taking a drink from his can he began to recall his mythology and who all the gods were. "So Hecate is the goddess who likes to play tricks and does witchy stuff, right?" It had been a while since he brushed up on it all. He was too busy formulating battle plans, training, and of course going to parties to remember much of anything else.

Suddenly he heard Viviane approach and caught her as she stumbled a bit. "Viv, hey!" He hugged her back and held her out at an arms length at looked her over, "looks like someone's been drinking," he said laughing. It had been a long time since he last saw her but it was good to see one familiar face. Ian turned back to Daniel then, "did I miss anything good so far?"

They exchanged names like normal people and shook hands. "So Hecate is the goddess who likes to play tricks and does witchy stuff, right?" Daniel nodded, hoping the guy wouldn't make immediate judgement through association of his mother. "That's basically the jazz of it." Just before Daniel could throw a pointed look to the brunette on how normal exchanges went, she had moved from her position to embrace Ian in a half drunk fashion. "Viv, hey!" Daniel smirked lightly as that little spoiler of her name had escaped Ian. But he'd keep that little slice of information locked away for the moment. As long as he was Loki to her, she was Little Mermaid.

"Did I miss anything good so far?" Ian had turned back to Daniel. He shrugged and looked around to witness the current activities of the fire. "Nothing in particular. Just doing a few rounds of truth or dare." He sipped from his own can then spotted Wes and Alex kissing. He coughed and choked a little as the drink went down the wrong pipe. He had the courtesy to turn away from Ian and Viv until he was done coughing and spluttering. "And just..." he croaked. "Excuse me..." Daniel cleared his throat and hit his chest. "An imaginary spin the bottle game." He finished, gesturing to the lip lock action between the son of aphrodite and Alex.

Wasn't tonight just full of surprises. Wasn't she full of surprises. Walks in arm with one guy, and happily kisses another. Daniel's eyes drifted to Trinity.

He nodded to Viv and Ian as he moved to plonk himself in the sand.

Jennova wasn't particularly interested in the current truth that was about to be spilled. So it was no matter of time at all before she finished off her drink. Well isn't this fun. She thought to herself as she sat alone staring at the roaring fire. Who knew David would be enjoying himself more than Jenn. "I've brought refreshments!" Her hand shot up in the air, holding her empty beer bottle. "Sold."

Clearing her throat before hopping up out of her seat, Jennova made her way towards the refreshments. It wasn't until she looked up seeing the newbie that brought the booze that she stopped in her tracks momentarily. Is it mandatory for every Demi God to be hot? She raised her brows nodding her head as she made her way over, grabbing a beer after Daniel. Jenn zoned out temporarily until she heard the new comer ask, "did I miss anything good so far?" Then Daniel answered, "Nothing in particular. Just doing a few rounds of truth or dare." Then he started choking on his drink. Curious, Jenn looked in the direction he was looking, seeing Alex kissing Wes. "And just... Excuse me... An imaginary spin the bottle game."

Jenn tilted her head towards Daniel slightly, a devious smirk crossing her lips. "Looks like you should tame your cat before she gets with every alleycat on the block." She then walked past him, making eye contact with Ian as she passed him. "Thanks for the drink stud." Jenn winked at him before making her way back to her seat. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself at the liplocking action and the drama that would quickly ensue. Now that is entertaining.

"..Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that." Wes didn't mean anything by the Yes Mother comment. He lightly bumped her shoulder with his own. "Hey... I was only teasing." He flashed her a gentle smile. Wes knew she was only wanting him to see himself in a better light.

"I would really love that to happen." Alex said. Wes knew that many people liked being looked at like they were the only person in the world. He'd be lying if he said he wouldn't like someone looking at him that way. That was a sign when someone truly likes another person. Getting lost just watching them be them. "It'll happen. Everyone deserves that kind of love."

It wasn't that Alex didn't have his full attention but when she said, "Forgive me." Wes turned his entire body to face her. Forgive you for what? He had just made a comment about that damn man flirting with Trinity. Was she planning on making a move on that guy!? His mind was racing with possibilities behind the statement but nothing like what she was really apologizing for. Before he knew it she was leaning in towards him. Wes leaned away slightly but not enough to stop her from pressing her lips to his and closing her eyes. At first his eyes widened. WHAT THE HELL!? And then it dawned on him... Jealousy. He heard the choking of presumably Daniel. It was working. So before Alex pulled away, he brought his hands up to gently cup her face and leaned into the kiss.

After a good long moment, he slowly pulled away breaking the kiss. Looking down at her he smirked slightly, "I've been told Aphrodite's kids are the best kissers... You may have wished you didn't do that." Wes winked at her teasingly, before retaking his original position, moving his hands from her face. "I think it worked..." He nodded his head in Daniel's direction. Then at a new realization Wes added, "If I get my ass kicked by Daniel or your brother... I'm coming after you!" He pointed at her in a teasing but threatening manner.

"I won't. Was all that Ajax said in response to what Andy told him. She wasn't really expecting him to say anything. She smiled slightly down at her hands. Not because she was happy he said he wouldn't hurt her... But because he doesn't realize he's already closing her out and not knowing it. Andy was strong though and she wasn't going to let the actions of one guy effect her if she had anything to say about it. She liked him a lot... More than she should so quickly but it's not something she could help. But that'd be her own secret until he felt the same.

Ajax smiled when she faked giving him the shirt. "Come on... Give it back." Andy laughed. No matter how frustrated he made her with his mixed signals seeing him smile would always make her smile. When he tried to catch her off guard and take his shirt, she still held it out of the way. He went through the trouble of stripping for her, now he had to sit around half naked so she could enjoy it.

His attention shifted towards the sky which made her first peak up at it from the corner of her eyes. At first she thought he was trying to distract her but then she saw the shooting star. "If you asked me.. I wouldn't even know what to wish for." This interested her. But before she lost her opportunity, she closed her eyes, making her own silent wish. When she was done she looked over at him, "Not even for your shirt?" Andy grinned. This time she took his shirt, leaning over towards him and resting it upon his shoulder before lightly patting his chest. "Sorry for taking you away from the party." She nodded her head towards the campfire as she slowly withdrew her hand from his chest. "You can go back if you want."

Andy smiled sweetly towards Ajax as she ran a hand back through her long wavy hair. She held his gaze for a long moment before shifting her attention back out towards the water. Slowly bringing her knees up to her chest, Andy wrapped her arms around her shins as the wind blew her hair about her face. Although this was the closest thing she had ever been to a party, she is noticing that she isn't the partying type.

"Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization ya know. Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you hear." She rolled her eyes with a smile, more playful than annoyed by the blunt flattery. It never hurt to receive a compliment such as gorgeous but if he was hoping to pick up...it just didn't do it for her. "Thank you." She responded, nonetheless, still relatively grateful to be assured she had some visual appeal to her.

"Nope never seen the guy before..." Theo had answered at the same time the male threw a wink and smile and raised his can her way. "Hm. Could have fooled me." She commented smirking at the alike straight- forward charms the males shared. "So are you Aphrodite's child or umm, Hera's?" Was her next random guess she could produce.

Before Mel could fulfill David's intriguing truth that pushed to reveal her sexuality, Daniel started coughing and choking obviously off put by something. Trinity scanned for the source and her face fell from alertness to...something she didn't like. It felt like sinking. Trinity got to her feet and brushed the sand from her legs, keeping her eyes on the happy little couple that couldn't possibly wait until they were in the privacy of their own cabins.

She flicked some sand up at them, as if a clunky step as her boot buried under the sand, only hitting mid leg height and down. Of course the two had already parted by that time but hey, it wasn't a fricken love circle. "Sorry!" Trinity tried to say sweetly which definitely didn't suit her and came off more cold and sarcastic. As she passed, she patted and tugged on Wes' hair sharply.

"You want some food?" she called, and turned to look at Theo from where she stood to clarify she was asking him. Meanwhile, waiting for his response she turned her back and opened a box of fruit. Not your typical camp fire food but some people were lean mean fighting machines and needed their fuel. She picked up an apple.

"Cozy with each other, aren't they?" She stated, looking to the back of Daniel's head as she leaned against the table.

"Hm. Could have fooled me." Trinity said with a smirk. Theo smiled back in order not to show his confusion. He wasn't sure why she said that, but he dismissed it as idle chit chat. "So are you Aphrodite's child or umm, Hera's?" Trinity took a stab at Theo's godly parent. Theo laughed and rubbed the back of his head as he looked off in the distance. "Um.... no. Artemis actually. I picked up the charm and looks from my human father." Theo remarked with a laugh as he redirected his focus on Trinity.

Off elsewhere, a guy was choking up and caught Trinity's attention, as well as Theo's. They both turned to see Alex and the guy who had cockblocked him earlier in a full out make out session. They weren't the only ones staring either. Everyone had basically turned their attention from the truth or dare game towards the "couple". Theo watched Trinity get up and walk off, flicking sand at the two as she passed. He chuckled at this. Trinity turned back towards him when she reached the snacks. "You want some food?" she hollered across the party. He shook his head and leaned back, letting his thoughts overtake him until she returned. He had been picking up on the social cues around him.

'So Trinity isn't a big flirter... or she plays hard to get at least. Alex must be pretty friendly with all of the guys, but the guy who got choked up kept a keen eye on her. Meanwhile the guy making out with Alex had been making puppy eyes at Trinity all night, but then why was he kissing Alex. These girls are confusing. The girl with Ajax seems to be the only one sure of who she wants to be with.' Theo let his thoughts rumble on as he watched Ajax and the girl on the beach. He needed to talk to Ajax tomorrow. He had to let him know where his allegiance lied. Theo would defend Olympus with his life. Just like that Theo's thoughts had turned towards the impending war he had heard so much about and his smile dissipated.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Happy

Viv silently watched the exchange between Daniel and Ian while trying to formulate a coherent thought. Between the few drinks she had had and being completely surprised by the blonde girl, her head was a fine mess. Her attention was regained though when Daniel started spluttering like a fish out of water. She followed his gaze to Alex and Wes before she took was taken back. Viv wasn't entirely sure on the situation but she thought Alex was getting cozy with some other guy, not Wes though. Going off Daniel's reaction Viv assumed something was there between him and Alex. Why else would he have that kind of a reaction?

"Holy Shit! She looks just like Lachlan!" Viv's head snapped back to the blonde girl who just seemed to burst out that statement. Her face was a mixture of surprise and shock. Me too girl, me too. Her curiosity was winning the best of her and being as blunt as she was she just came right out with it, "are you my sister? You have to be, you look just like da-Poseidon." She caught herself before she made herself look foolish is this girl wasn't actually her sister.

When she turned back around to whisper to Ian that she thought the blonde girl was her sister, she was met by nothing. The blighter had run off already to rondevu with a girl. She should've known she would be able to keep Ian by her side for very long. He was far too sociable and overly friendly, unlike her. She could be charming, but up to a certain point. However Ian oozed charm. Little bastard.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Intrigued

Guess not much had happened. Just a bit truth or dare which he wanted to get in on. As Daniel was catching Ian up to speed, he began to cough and almost choke on his drink. "And just..." he croaked. "Excuse me... An imaginary spin the bottle game." He then gestured to two individuals who were locked in a kiss. By the reaction Daniel had given, this kiss was obviously a surprise and not expected... At all.

As Daniel nodded in parting Ian couldn't help but react to that kiss either. As he watched Daniel walk away Ian raised his eyebrows in amusement. Looks like he had missed something. And judging by the stares and reactions the two were getting, this was something big. He looked down at Viviane then,"dammit, I always miss the good stuff." Viviane just seemed to roll her eyes at him. Guess she's just as lost as I am.

His attention to the couple caught in the act was quickly diverted to a brunette who's made her way over to him. She'd stopped briefly with a perplexed awed look on her face before continuing on. "Looks like you should tame your cat before she gets with every alleycat on the block." Now it was Ian's turn to look perplexed. Did the girl who had kissed the guy just then kiss someone else earlier before? There were so many questions circling his mind. But then the brunette who'd made his way towards him finally made eye contact with him and his questions were replaced with new ones, like who the hell was she? And is she single? "Thanks for the drink stud." Then she winked at him and Ian was actually taken back. It was one thing for him to be so bold with girls but a girl to be bold with him? Now that was new and he liked it.

Without thinking he followed her and sat beside her, acting like he hadn't purposefully done so. He began humming to himself for a bit before he turned to her. "Perhaps you can shed some light on this," he motioned towards Wes and Alex, "thingy-ma-bob. But first what's your name?" He sat back and smiled, hoping he didn't look stupid.

"Plot twist" Melissa chuckled and took a drink from her bottle as David mulled over his options. As she let her attention drift Melissa focused back on her sister and the guy who was flirting with her. "So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us." Melissa looked the guy over, searching her alcohol addled mind as to he was new or not. 'Nope... He's definitely new.' "Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization, ya know? Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you here." Melissa coughed on air as she tried not to laugh at his obvious flirting. While he definitely wouldn't be the first to flirt with Trinity he obviously didn't know much about the other demigods. Telling a child of Ares might give you a point or two towards ego but it wasn't all that important.
"Hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!" "He with you?" Melissa looked in the direction the yell came from and started giggling. While there wasn't anything particularly funny about him or his statement Trinity's response to him was seemingly hilarious. "Nope never seen the guy before..." "Okay...hate to put you on the spot but I love it." Melissa's attention snapped back to David at his words. As he spoke Melissa's giggling died down and she took note of the grin on his face with unease. 'A child of Hades smiling at me? Let alone that it's David. This can't be good... "In order of lowest to highest, list the demigods on this beach now, you'd go out with. Or feel even remotely attracted to."

Before logical thought could take hold Melissa spoke to David, smirking at him. "David if you wanted to know if I liked you, you could have just asked." The teasing tone of her voice almost even surprised her. Most of her own friends had left camp the previous year to either train or live normal lives for the time being and she usually never gave people she didn't consider a friend the time of day. This being so others who have been in camp with her have rarely seen her act like anything other than a bitch. Her mind coming back to the present Melissa looked around the group in contemplation. "You know, technically those are two different questions but I'll let it slide." Her eyes got a wicked gleam in them and she laughed. "In fact, I'll answer them both." She knew that David had expected her to be unwilling or at least disgruntled but as she was starting to realize Melissa was too drunk to care. "It's nice to loosen up for once..." Taking a sip from the bottle in her lap she looked over the group again before meeting David's eyes. ”Being honest I’m extremely picky about who I date because dating means getting close to people and I obviously am not the best at that.” Thinking of her interaction with Wes that morning she raises her bottle and nudges her head in his direction before taking a drink from it. ”Case in point. Either way if I had to put everyone into a list lowest to highest based on whether I would date them….”

Melissa finally set down the bottle, looking around the campfire before pointing to her sister. ”Triney is number one, can’t date your sister. I mean unless you’re into that” Melissa cast a wide eyed, completely fake, apologetic look at David before grinning again. ”Sera would be second with Ajax as a close third. I don’t think I could deal with Mama and Papa Camp Athens as a partner, no matter how much I get along with them. Andy would be fourth, not really my type… too nice from what I’ve seen. The blonde you just molested would be fifth. Seems a bit catty but I’m not really one for mood swings. The brunette, Viviane I think? She would be sixth. Seventh would be the guy flirting with my sister closely followed by the guy who brought more booze. Jenn would be ninth, Daniel tenth, and Wes would be eleventh. And you would be twelth with Ajax’s kid sister being thirteen. She’s cute and fiesty. Plus I’ve always had a thing for brunettes.” Grabbing her bottle she took a quick drink from it before continuing.

"As for pure Sexual attraction from Lowest to Highest would be Sera, Ajax, Andy, the blonde you just molested, Viviane, Daniel, Jenn, the guy flirting with my sister, Trinity, Ajax's kid sister, the guy who just brought more booze, Wes, and you, David.” Melissa then stood up quickly, almost falling over, and took a bow. ”Complete!” As she rose Melissa winked at David before laughing and sitting back down.

"David if you wanted to know if I liked you, you could have just asked." Melissa responded teasingly. "You know, technically those are two different questions but I'll let it slide. In fact, I'll answer them both." He held up his finger to clarify how his truth was sugar coated for her. David thought she might have been reluctant to or, frankly have no date order in existence at all so he fell back on sexual attraction, but Melissa went on daringly with the two different lists.

He face planted a little as she buried into her lists and little justifications next to certain names. Any other guy might have stopped her sooner and saved her the trouble but this was David and he was laughing. There was a little too much truth involved from Melissa. "Complete!” She said at the conclusion, with an off balanced bow, rather drunk and proud. David had caught every name and in what order as he laughed so she didn't have to worry about him not listening. "Thank you for sharing Melissa." A smile wavered at his lips but he had to give credit to the girl for getting right into it. "And thank you for the ego boost in the process and shutting down others. It means a lot. And you've obviously almost met close to your limit." He added more quietly and chuckled.

David laughed more at Daniel's coughing fit, assuming it might have been because of how low he was ranked on Mel's list, but he turned to see Alex and Wes kissing. It really did suck to be him. "Shake it off!" He called, a grin spread on his features. Alex really was trying them all.

█▐ ♔┊"It'll happen. Everyone deserves that kind of love."

Alex didn't want to bring the games down with her negative opinion, so she kept her thoughts to herself, yet nodded to show that she was listening to him. Alex couldn't really have an opinion on love anyway, because she had never felt that with anyone with being too focused on her life. She wanted to do well, to make her father proud. Since being at Camp Athens, she had made the wrong choices to grab a boys attention, but it was too late to take anything back now. She'd have to roll with it, then accept the outcome of her actions.

After kissing Wes, they slowly parted, her eyes looking up to him while hoping he wasn't feeling freaked out or anything. "I've been told Aphrodite's kids are the best kissers... You may have wished you didn't do that." Wes winked at her teasingly, before retaking his original position, moving his hands from her face. His joking nature was good, because it let her know that he was cool with it, that it didn't bother him. She smiled. "You're definitely not a bad kisser." she told him, and chuckled as she rubbed her arm with her hand gently. "I think it worked..." He nodded his head in Daniel's direction, causing Alex to look over. Maybe she shouldn't of done it, because what if it made Daniel think she liked every guy? she doesn't though. She's faithful, and loyal. Wes added, "If I get my ass kicked by Daniel or your brother... I'm coming after you!" He pointed at her in a teasing but threatening manner which made Alex grin a little. "Don't worry, Romeo, you're safe. I'll take all the blame.. I promise." and she would too, because Wes wasn't the one who kissed her, so by default it wasn't his fault.

Some random guy had come up to her and began to call her a slut while she got a drink from the table where the refreshments were. She didn't want to start arguing though, because she knew for a fact something bad would happen for that loser. But not long after, Ajax was being rough with him and shouting in the guys face. To save herself from doing something stupid, and to make sure no-one saw her crying.. Alex took off away from the Camp, and headed towards her cabin.

She knew that her actions would cause something like this, she knew that some people wouldn't understand, but then again.. what she did with guys on Camp didn't exactly look right. She did look like she was being a guy hopper. Calling her a slut though was way out of line, because she wasn't exactly sleeping around, so that insult was stupid.

█▐ ♔┊"Not even for your shirt?" Andy grinned. Such a beautiful cheeky woman. This time she took his shirt, leaning over towards him and resting it upon his shoulder before lightly patting his chest. "Sorry for taking you away from the party. You can go back if you want." She told him while removing her hand. Ajax looked towards the Campfire, and shook his head. "It's cool.. I need to sober up before I head back over. I'm going to be a laughing stock if I carry on drinking. I got a reputation to hold." and he did. He was suppose to be the most mature guy on Camp.

Just as he had put his shirt back on, some random guy was heading on over to them. He looked annoyed. "Aj, do us a favor, mate, and keep that little slut of a sister of yours on a tighter leash." that was it. Party over for Ajax. He grabbed the guy by the front of his shirt, and began shouting in his face. "MY WHAT? MY WHAT?!!" he growled. The guy was stupid to start this, especially since Ajax was now 10 seconds away from either punching his face in, or frying him with how much anger was surging through him. "Your little sister." he quickly corrected. Ajax shoved him back, causing the guy to stumble. "That's right. My little sister." He remained close, his eyes dangerously locked on the Apollo kid. "You want to say something else? go ahead. I dare you." he growled.

Jennova would've had to have been blind not to notice the lingering gaze of the attractive newbie that brought the beer. She didn't have to look behind her to know that he was following her. Jenn smiled to herself as she took a sip of her beer, once back in her seat. She didn't even give him a sideways glance when he sat beside her, trying to hum into a more nonchalant manner. Jenn's smiled grew slightly, taking another drink before he talked. "Perhaps you can shed some light on this," He motioned towards Wes and Alex, "thingy-ma-bob. But first what's your name?"

Smirking, she titled her head to look towards the newcomer, gazing at him from under her long hair. "Jennova," She extended her right hand towards him, "...Jennova Ambers. Daughter of Hades." Her left hand raised the beer so that she could take another drink. "Now let me guess..." Jenn looked him up and down, sizing him up. "I would say son of Aphrodite because your obviously attractive." She motioned her hand towards him, "But something about you seems a little smarter than the average bear, eh boo-boo boy?" She assumed he was smart enough to get the Yogi reference, if not that she completely discredited her last statement.

Jennova situated herself in her seat, leaning back slightly as her gaze drifted towards Alex and Wes. "As for mistletoe over there... I don't have the entire story." She ran her hand back through her hair, "I think the girl, Alex, and Daniel have a thing. Although it's obvious she likes him more than he likes her." Jenn looks over at her company, "It's a girl thing... Either that or he's afraid of commitment or something. Either way, he must have done something to make her angry or whatever because from what I can tell she kissed Wes to make Daniel jealous." Jennova took another drink, finishing off her beer. "As for Wes... He seemed like he was taken by surprise. Probably went along with it because she's his friend." She shrugged her shoulders before looking over at him.

She then responded to his comment about not wanting his ass kicked, "Don't worry, Romeo, you're safe. I'll take all the blame.. I promise." That's not what he meant. "No no... I didn't mean blame. I've just been punched enough for the day."

Wes was quickly distracted as he felt sand kicked at him. His brows furrowed while snapping his head in the direction of the kicker, only to do a slight double take seeing it was Trinity. "Sorry!" What the hell!? Obviously fake sarcasm. Was she jealous? Then as she passed by him, she patted his head before sharply tugging on his hair. He was half tempted to grab her wrist right there and drag her into the woods like a child needing discipling but instead he sat there in shock... Or was it surprise?

Everything else that was going on blurred in the background as Wes' mind raced, his piercing gaze never leaving Trinity. Was she jealous? I thought she didn't even like me! Why in the hell are women so confusing?... Did I hurt her? She's going to hate me forever... He kept mulling over the questions in his head while the party continued around him. Wes might of had some cocky remark to him ranking second on Mel's hotness chart relating it to her feeling sorry for punching him but he hardly even noticed. Unable to take it anymore, he spoke towards Alex without looking at her, "Sorry... Will you excuse me?" Wes didn't wait for a response, getting up and walking straight towards Trinity.

Wes walked right past Daniel and over to Trinity. As he stopped when he was less of a foot in front of her, he heard some snide comment about Alex being a slut. It wouldn't register until later but if he sees that guy later, Wes has plans to break his nose. His face was probably the meanest it's ever looked in his life, jaw clenching, brows furrowed, practically steaming from the ears. He knew there was no use asking her nicely to come and speak with him privately. She was too proud and way too stubborn. So in a swift motion, Wes grabbed her right wrist with his left hand while leaning over. His right arm hooking behind the bend in her knees, throwing her over his shoulder. He made sure to hold her legs down tight enough so she wouldn't kick him, while also not releasing her wrist as he made his way towards the tree line. Once deep enough in so that no campers would see or hear them, he slowly and gingerly sets her down, pinning her against a tree. His right hand covers her mouth while his left index finger points a warning, "Don't talk, just listen."

Releasing her mouth, Wes then began his, lack of a better term, rant. "Alex kissed me. You hear me? She kissed me! I told her if she wanted Daniel’s attention that jealousy always gets a guys attention. Then she kissed me. No I didn’t ask her to or expect it but I went along with it, alright? And another reason she did it is because of you." He motioned towards her while pausing in the middle of his little speech. His gaze direct, not moving from hers.

"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous. Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out… I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try."

By that point Wes' temper had slowly fizzled out. Sighing, he ran his hand back through his hair before scratching the back of his neck. Wes then rubbed his eyes letting out another deep breath before speaking up again. This time his voice was quiet... sincere. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." He held her gaze for a long moment after he finished. After what seemed like long enough, he took a step back motioning his hand towards the party as a silent way of telling her she was free to go and he wouldn't stop her. Wes then sighed before turning back towards camp, starting to walk in the opposite direction of the party and towards his cabin.

"It's cool.. I need to sober up before I head back over. I'm going to be a laughing stock if I carry on drinking. I got a reputation to hold." Andy nodded her head slightly. That's what she was thinking when she grabbed him away from the fire. She'd hate for him to make any decisions he'd regret the next day. Andy was smiling towards Ajax as he put his shirt back on, but that quickly faded when she heard someone speak from behind them. Aj, do us a favor, mate, and keep that little slut of a sister of yours on a tighter leash."

Oh shit. Andy quickly hopped up onto her feet only to see Ajax grab the guy by his shirt, yelling in his face, "MY WHAT? MY WHAT?!!" Who was stupid enough to say something like that to Ajax?!... Apparently this guy. Andy feel the energy that was beginning to surge around Ajax, and even at one point she could have sworn she saw it. "Your little sister." The guy seemed scared, served him right. Ajax pushed the Apollo kid which made him stumble backwards. "That's right. My little sister. You want to say something else? go ahead. I dare you." He was growling at the point.

Andy didn't know what to do but if she didn't do something Ajax could fry half the people on the beach if he didn't calm down. So without any other ideas she slide her way between the Apollo kid and Ajax, placing her palm softly on his chest, looking up at him. "Ajax," She kept her voice quiet, calm and sweet. "You need to calm down... He's just some stupid asshole." Before she could continue what she was saying, for some stupid reason the Apollo kid decided to talk, again. "Yeah AJ, listen to your girl." This guy was going to get himself killed if he didn't walk away. Not that he didn't deserve it, but Ajax didn't need another skeleton in his closet.

So before Ajax could freak out again, Andy quickly spun around to face the Apollo kid. As she did so, she balled her right hand into a fist, slamming it into the guy's nose full force. Her hands the rested on his shoulders as she slammed her knee right between his legs. Finishing off by shoving him to the ground. The Apollo kid quickly took the hit, scrambling off while holding his crotch. Andy turned back around to face Ajax, cupping his face in her hands. "You'll thank me later." She knew that if she let him continue on, he'd regret the outcome down the road. "And we don't need you zapping half the people on the beach. You're better than that." Andy held his gaze while she spoke calmingly towards him. Her thumbs lightly stroking his cheeks as she cupped his face. "Plus... I like this outfit. I don't want it fried." She teased slightly, smiling up at him.

She stared at her sister as her revelations was news to her, and a fine distraction. But she caught sight of Wes probably moving in to confront her and braced herself for his own lecture. Trinity considered moving away but that what would be like surrendering territory and waving the white flag. Good old Ken doll didn't have a chance in a stand off. When he approached, he looked mad and assertive, which was a new look for Wes, catching her off guard for a moment. Rather than an exchange of words as she predicted, he grabbed her wrist then back of her legs then she was off the ground and over his shoulder. "Woah. Woah. No." Wes had his own intentions though and finally set her down in wood area. Before she could begin her rant, or even shove him for picking her up and dragging her away from a party, he covered her mouth. "Don't talk, just listen." Making her eyes widen in shock and be very aware of her back to the tree he had cornered her in.

He withdrew his hand and let the fire in him loose. "Alex kissed me. You hear me? She kissed me! I told her if she wanted Daniel’s attention that jealousy always gets a guys attention. Then she kissed me. No I didn’t ask her to or expect it but I went along with it, alright? And another reason she did it is because of you." Because of me? Trinity never grasped all the games people bothered with but to them, it must've made sense. Wes' gaze struck her as fierce, but neither gaze strayed from the other's eyes.

"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous." He continued. Obviously still not her time to speak. But Trinity making Wes jealous? Please. Was making a child of Aphrodite jealous even a thing? "Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out… I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try." That was like information overload to her and rendered her speechless. Not even an inner snide thought occurred.

Trinity's eyes followed his every shifting movement, intent on Wes' words and eyes. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." When he dropped his gaze and stepped away, she felt she could breathe again. Trinity wished she could offer words to him in return but her thoughts were scattered and words wouldn't form. Apparently her muscles were also having obedient issues as she stayed where she was.

Wes began to walk away. Trinity needed to correct him that she wasn't hurt. He had simply introduced her and been the cause to feelings she wasn't familiar with. Instead she leaned back on the tree for a moment, sighed out and returned to the party. She couldn't confront Wes until she found the right words.

Focused on trying to place where Wes was with her, she returned to her seat a little absent-minded. Until she heard she had missed some rough and tumble with an Apollo son. That would have made a perfect distraction and bedtime lullaby.

The brunette turned to look at Narissa and just blurted out what was obviously on both their minds. "Are you my sister? You have to be, you look just like da-Poseidon." At the mention of their father Narissa flinched and sighed. 'You jerks... You both knew...' She thought, thinking of her half-brother and father. Getting up Narissa headed over to the girl.

"Thank you for sharing Melissa." Melissa returned the smile David gave her. "And thank you for the ego boost in the process and shutting down others. It means a lot." She though she heard him continue but she got distracted by a sudden burst of activity. Returning her gaze to him she half chuckled, half giggled. "Anytime Sweetheart."

Letting her attention wander Mel got an eyeful of Wes and Alex kissing and laughed. "Well shit. That was quick, even for a son of Aphrodite." As David shouted at Daniel Mel bite her bottom lip. "That kid really got the shit end of that stick huh?" Mel returned her attention to Alex and Wes to see them part, Wes going after Trinity and Alex going to grab something to eat or drink. When Wes threw Trinity over his shoulder Melissa jumped up but Trinity didn't seem to be fighting him and it was extremely amusing she she decided to just laugh. 'I'll make sure to figure out what that was about later. Trinity:0 Wes:1. When the kid of Apollo called Alex a slut Melissa's attention snapped over to the two of them. Anger flared through her and she immediately got a bit more sober. Despite that she went off after Alex quickly, displaying that she was definitely still buzzed at the least. She hesitated a moment at the line of the trees but saw the same guy walk up to Ajax and make a comment. By the look on Ajax's face the guy was taken care of. Without a second thought, or a first one for that matter, Melissa bolted into the forest after Alex.

Theo looked around, observing the people that he would be in close proximity with for the foreseeable future. This place was a mess. When alcohol was thrown into the equation, everyone's emotions had seemed to bubble to the surface. He caught glimpse of Wes talking to Trinity, and then he picked her up. He was toting her towards the woods. Theo became both worried and curious, so he decided to follow them. He went to the tree line opposite where Wes had carried her, and he went into his wolf form. He silently ran over towards where they were, arriving as Wes was in the middle of his rant.

"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous. Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out…" 'Who is he talking about? Me?' Theo thought, but he continued to listen intently. "I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try."

Trinity was staring at Wes intently, and Theo was just wondering what he got himself into. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." Wes walked away, and Trinity stood there shocked. Theo took his cue and got out of there. He chose to head towards the shore and return to human form before walking back up the the fire. That way it looked as if he had just walked down to the water for some air.

Theo headed back up to the party with his eyes locked on Trinity. Should he continue to flirt with her? Should he be there for her right now. That could build a much needed bridge of trust with a fellow 'camper'. Theo wasn't sure what to do. He grabbed two more drinks as he saw Melissa head towards the cabins. He sat down next to Trinity, cracking his drink open, but choosing to set the other one at the feet of Trinity. He wasn't sure if she felt like drinking anymore or of what her limit might be. He wasn't the pushy type. He could drink it if she didn't. He leaned forward and looked at her. "You ok? You look kind of pale." Theo stated cautiously. He didn't want her to know more than he should. He really only followed them to make sure he wasn't about to hurt her. His intentions had never been to eavesdrop on such a personal, al be it one sided, conversation.

"Looks like you should tame your cat before she gets with every alleycat on the block." Jennova stated towards him which made him wash over with anger but for the wrong reason. For Jennova speaking as if Alex was his responsibility or associated with him.
"Cozy with each other, aren't they?" Daniel nodded a little. Basically, that's how it looked. He wasn't a fan of girls he liked openly kissing other guys. What was that 3 guys within two days? Hell, she could have had a little session with the new guy for all he knew. Or cared. But when a Son Of Apollo crossed her path dropping off a comment of how she was a slut, Daniel lifted his gaze and a little snarl touched his lips. But by that time he had already trudged to Ajax and obviously said the wrong words to the wrong man. And when he turned to converse with Trinity, she was gone.

Daniel sighed out finding himself disinterested in whatever other shit drama could spill over during the remainder of the fire so left with a vague, "Night," to the group.

HEX: #041e75 || Outfit

Alex and Wes split up and David overheard someone call someone else a slut. When he looked in that vague direction, Ajax was shaking some kid and spitting in his face practically. God, he was so easily wound up about his sister. So easy to get angry in general. No wonder he'd killed his past lovers.
Turning back to the fire, Trinity was kidnapped, Mel hadn't passed anyone else a truth or dare but instead shot off to the apparent top dog on her date list. He took that as the conclusion of the night, glancing to the crowd that was slowly wandering off or having quiet conversations among themselves. "Night." Even Daniel decided to call it quits. It looked like the drama was over for the night. Until he spotted Jenn and the newer guy. His eyes narrowed in confusion of why she was being so friendly with him. He wasn't familiar with witnessing a flirty shade of her but that's what it looked like.

David shook his head and let it be her business. David moved over to the brunette and Narissa, mid-way of their introductions to each other. He might've caught siblings? David cleared his throat looking between the two. "Sorry if I'm interrupting. Did you find a cabin in the end?" He asked Narissa. He even wondered if it was okay to talk to her after giving her a lap dance.

█▐ ♔┊Any other given moment in time, Alex would of defended herself, but the words cut deep as she knew it in herself of how it all must of looked, especially to the guy that her heart had accidentally latched itself onto without warning. She couldn't help how she felt about Daniel, so she acted stupid out of jealousy of him being around other women, even if there wasn't anything there. But she had noticed him with Poseidon's daughter. Viviane. She knew she had no right to be insecure, and he could flirt with who ever he wanted because he isn't hers. Alex just wanted his undying attention to mainly be focused upon herself, and if he decided that he wanted to be more than just a thing!? then she would be his in a heart beat.

Foolish young girl. She had always been told to never allow people to see her weaknesses as they can be used against her, and to never fully trust those around her, or to even expect anything back from anyone. Her brother brought her up to be strong, independent.. but here she was, falling a little to pieces for the minor mistakes she was making at this camp. Hopefully no-one would agree with that Apollo Kid.

'Pull yourself together, you're the daughter of Zeus. You're going to let some misunderstood insult get to you? he doesn't know you.' she thought, prepping herself up to head back and face the party again, but being alone for now was probably for the best. She didn't want to make any more mistakes to add onto the list.

When Alex heard someone coming!? she quickly gathered herself together, quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and cheeks, then made it look like she was just standing there in the woods near her home for some peace and quiet. Her eyes gave her away though, because they looked slightly bloodshot from crying. Half of her was hoping it was Daniel, and the other half wasn't.. it would of been embarrassing. Maybe it was Wes? or her brother? or even Andy? either way, someone must of wanted to come and check on her.

█▐ ♔┊He felt Andy place her palm softly upon his chest, her eyes looking up at him as if pleading with him to calm down. "Ajax," She kept her voice quiet, calm and sweet, which caused his his gaze to fix on her with his jaw tense, his nostrils flared, and his hands balled into fists. "You need to calm down... He's just some stupid asshole." He slowly began to loosen up, but before she could continue what she was saying, the dumb ass Apollo kid decided to talk, yet again. "Yeah AJ, listen to your girl."

Ohhh how much he wanted to punch that son of a bitch in the face. An angry Ajax was a highly irrational Ajax, and Andy knew it. What happened next was awesome with how Andy dealt with that asshole. It wasn't a shock to him though, because he knew for a fact she could handle herself. "You'll thank me later. And we don't need you zapping half the people on the beach. You're better than that." and he was. Ajax was a good guy, but he couldn't help his anger get the better of him. With that being said.. he hadn't been doing too bad. Andy held his gaze while she spoke calmingly towards him, and her thumbs lightly stroking his cheeks as she cupped his face, causing him to swallow softly. "Plus... I like this outfit. I don't want it fried." Ajax grew grin and began to deeply chuckle before taking her hands in his, then brought them to his lips. With his eyes on her, he kissed her hands.

He glanced around at the others, and even apologized to them for wrecking the party. He glared at David for a moment before looking down at Andy.

"I'm gonna say thank you now, because if it wasn't for you!? I definitely would of killed someone, if more. Go get some rest, Andy." he told her, his voice deep yet gentle. "I want you to see something tomorrow." With that, he softly cupped the back of her neck, pulled her in gently towards him, and lingered a loving, devoted kiss upon her forehead with his eyes closed before taking off towards his cabin. He had made it back home before Alex, and he was worried sick as to where she had gone, so he went out looking for her considering she was no where inside their cabin.

When Melissa caught up to Alex she took in every detail of the scene and then approached. Placing her hands into her pockets Melissa noted the obvious signs that the daughter of Zeus had been crying but she kept her expression inquisitive and, shockingly, worried. 'It's not like I wasn't having a mental break down earlier. Don't want her to think I'm judging her.' Once she was close enough to have a conversation talking at normal volume Melissa stopped but remained silent for a few moments. Looking for the right words Melissa takes a hand from her pocket and rubs the back of her neck with it.

"So... I'm just gonna cut to it, I've never much been one for subtlety. I know you barely know me and, despite what you might have heard or think, I get what it feels like. Other people judging you is bad enough but when you can see where there coming from... or even agree with them..." Melissa trailed off with a frown and she looked away, her thoughts wandering to memories where she had felt similar to what she guessed Alex felt. Shaking her head Melissa looked back at Alex and shrugged a bit. "Anyways... If you need someone to talk to who won't judge my door's always open. I know I'm probably the last person you'd want to talk to but the offer stands either way. No one should have to go through that alone." Melissa blushed and looked away again before clearing her throat.

"Um, Yeah. That was it. I bet you're tired and you just had to deal with that asshole Apollo kid... I'm sorry to bug you. I bet
you want to be alone so I'll just go." Melissa, still rocking a strong alcoholic influence, had started to rant. Somewhere
deep down, in the back of her mind, a sober part of her was shocked that she even had the capability of being so kind but at
the same time even she knew she was really a softy at heart. Turning away, Melissa looked around to figure out which direction her cabin was in.

█▐ ♔┊He had been searching for his little sister the moment she wasn't at the cabin, and his stomach flipped with worry. Of course he knew she was capable of handling herself, but not as well as Ajax could because she hadn't trained as much as him. She was new to everything. At this point, he was blaming himself for not going after her. He had stayed with Andy because she was calming him down for a good reason, but he should of left and gone after Alex.

It wasn't long until he was facing Hades himself, causing Ajax to charge up a bolt with his right hand, ready to throw it at his Fathers enemy, who naturally also became his own enemy. "You're not welcome here.. get out." he warned, but it only caused Hades to laugh. "You're definitely like your father.. foolish." with a swift movement of the staff he was holding in his hand, he knocked Ajax to the ground like he was nothing. "You forget that you're not a God. I am much stronger than you'll ever be.. unless of course you take your Fathers place at the throne, but that, isn't going to happen. I plan on killing your father myself. After everything he's done to me, he deserves nothing more than a eternity of Darkness." Ajax slowly stumbled to his feet. "You won't get away with this.. I'll kill you before you even get a chance of getting close to my father." Hades smirked. He loved a challenge. His staff lit up, and as black smoke circled around them, Ajax looked to his sister who had ran out of the cabin.

He furrowed his brows at her because he wasn't even sure if he'd be back this time.

█▐ ♔┊Alex wasn't expecting Melissa to come after her, or anyone at all to be honest. She as originally just heading home to call it a night as she couldn't be bothered to stand up to an asshole who didn't know her, and the words coming out of his mouth weren't true anyway, so was there any point in being defensive about it? no, there wasn't.

Alex really didn't need the speech from Mel, but she knew that she meant well and was just trying to help her feel better, but Alex was resilient. "I know you mean well, and I really appreciate everything, Mel, but yeah.. I just want to be alone for now." she told her calmly as the girl was slightly confused as to which way she needed to go for her cabin. Alex chuckled. "Mel..." Alex then pointed in the direction to the girls cabin. "That way.." hopefully she wouldn't get lost, and hopefully she wouldn't wander passed the invisible barrier that was only seen by Demigods. It also protected them from the threats outside of camp, but now and again, something found its way inside. How? who knows.

Once Mel was gone, Alex headed inside. She was hoping that her brother was okay, because from what she heard!? that Apollo kid almost got a short life span. How could he be so stupid to go up against two of Zeus's children? eh, who cares.. it's over and done with. "AJ, you want something to ea--" she cut off from her question, and froze on the spot. He wasn't even in his room. She went to his window to see if he was anywhere close by, and noticed that he was heading up towards the cabin. He must of been out looking for her. She smiled at that. He was never going to change no matter how old Alex got. Her smile soon faded though, because out of nowhere, Hades had grabbed her brother. "AJAX!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

She sprinted outside as fast as she could to stop him, but soon as she got to them, Ajax looked to her before Hades vanished with him. "NOOO!!!" she screamed, then stood there crying. It was her fault, she knew it. If only she had been at the cabin before him, then he'd of known where she was. But she hadn't been too far away, so maybe they had just missed each other some how? she didn't know what to do at the point, but she ran through camp yelling into the night. "HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP. PLEASE!" she loudly begged before deciding to run towards Andy's cabin which was the closest. Once there!? she began to knock on the door frantically while out of breath. She didn't like waking people up, but this, was an emergency.

It was apparent that Andy wasn't as deep asleep as she thought she was when she heard screaming outside. At first she brushed it off thinking it was just some campers fooling around being drunk and whatever else. She figured if it was something important there would be more screaming or someone would come get her. So instead she rolled over in bed and tried to go back to sleep. But it wasn't long before there was long banging on her door.

Andy shot up out of her bed and ran over to the door, answering it as she stood there in her pajamas. It took a minute for her groggy eyes to register what was going on. But the moment she realized it was Alex and then took in her facial expression, she inhaled sharply. Her heart sank. There were only 2 people she could think of that could make her look so sad or worried... Daniel or Ajax. That's what worried Andy more. Something happened to her brother or to Ajax.

Without a second thought, she grabs Alex by the arm, pulling her into her cabin. Andy pokes her head outside to make sure no one followed her or anything. Then closed the door. She lead Alex to take a seat on her bed while Andy quickly threw on the first outfit she could find. "Who is it?" She asked, while wiggling into a pair of jean shorts. Her eyes fixated on the ground, "Daniel or Ajax?" After pulling on a jacket, Andy crouched in front of Alex, taking her hands gently. "Tell me what happened."

█▐ ♔┊After Andy pulled her inside of the cabin, Alex sat on the edge of Andy's bed at the bottom, her heart breaking into a thousand pieces. She was lost without him, and the look he gave her!? was an unsure, yet scared look. She had never seen him afraid until that very moment. Memories of them being children came rushing to her, and that made her break down even more as she clutched her chest a little while crying. He had always been apart of her life, he had also been through so much, and all because a greedy Hades wanted the throne for himself!? he took someone that meant a lot to many people, but not as much as what he meant to Alex. "He's never looked at me like that. He doesn't know if he's ever coming back." she sobbed, her body leaning over slightly as she drowned in the pain. "He's taken him, Andy.. Hades has taken him. He took my brother!" her shaking hands clutched the sheets underneath her. Snow was beginning to fall outside due to Alex's mood.

It wasn't fair, life was dangerous for all of them, and it shouldn't be. They should be allowed to live in peace with their families all together. Happy. In Alex's eyes, Hades was always a damn coward. He couldn't face Zeus by himself, he always needed someone or something to battle along side him. He thought he was a King, but in Reality!? Hades was nothing more than a lonely, old, miserable man who was desperately looking for attention.

If he had taken Daniel, then Alex would of been the same.. even if she hadn't known him long. He meant a lot to her, because he was practically the first person to notice her, and the first person to make her feel really alive. He made her see the world with different eyes because of how happy he made her feel every time he was around her. The Earth was more vibrant, and more beautiful with Daniel in it with her.

"I want my brother.." She choked. "I want my brother!" she began to cry even harder at the thought of never seeing him again. At this point, it felt like he had already died. She felt him being torn from her like they were twins, like half of her was missing along with him.

They'd have to get a hold of David, because he was the only one who could possibly help them at this point. Hopefully for his sake, this wasn't his fault. If it was Jennova's? then Alex wouldn't hesitate to knock seven shades of Gods out of her.

Andy moved to sit next to Alex, pulling the crying girl towards her as she tried to keep her own calm. One of them had to be somewhat level headed. "He's never looked at me like that. He doesn't know if he's ever coming back. He's taken him, Andy.. Hades has taken him. He took my brother!" Oh my God Ajax! Andy felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. Her hands began to tremble furiously as worry, sadness... But most rage coursed through her.

Andy wanted to cry as she looked down at her trembling hands. The hands not a moment earlier he had kissed and the bruised knuckles as a result of trying to help him remain calm. She closed her eyes trying to pace her breathing. Stay calm. Think think. I have to help him... I have to save him. She reached her trembling hand out to take Alex's as she cried, "I want my brother... I want my brother!" Using her free hand, Andy turned Alex's head to look at the girl. "I will save him Alex. I promise you this... Whatever it takes!" She sat there thinking. Hades took him and only Hades children could travel freely to the Underworld. That's when it hit her like a freight train... David!

She shot up from where she sat, still holding Alex's hand. "I have a plan... But let me do the talking." Andy through open her door and began to sprint towards David's cabin. She held tight to Alex's hand to keep the girl going. It wasn't long before they reached his cabin and once there Andy took the steps to the door 4 at a time. Instead of knocking like a decent human being she slammed open the door. "DAVID!!!"

She stormed through the cabin until she saw him laying on the couch. She knelt beside him, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. "Please David..." Her voice was pleading and even cracked as she tried to keep her calm but she was having a hard time trying not to cry. "I need your help! Hades... Hades took Ajax to the Underworld. Take us there, Alex and I," Andy motioned towards Alex, "Please I beg you. I'll do whatever you want, I don't care. Just please help us... We have no one else to turn to."

Wes was fast asleep in his bed. Between the alcohol and bearing his soul to Trinity, he was in much need of relaxation and sleep. Apparently he was sooo tired he hadn't realized what was going on.

Hades not wanting Ajax's absence to be noticed for sometime decided it'd be best to send another lovely little distraction. The minotaur was child's play but this time, this time he was going to send one of his finer beasts. A beast that can only be slain by those whom know about them, otherwise the beast will get worse with each attempt. A hydra.

The beast had manifested in the thicket of the woods near the camper's cabins. If Hades wanted a true distraction, he couldn't wait for the Hydra to possibly make it's way towards the sleeping campers but to throw it right in the center of it. The 3 headed beast made it's way through the trees, leaving a trail of knocked over trunks and burnt stumps in it's wake.

So sound asleep Wes did not hear the approaching monster. Nor did he smell or notice as the Hydra set fire upon the roof of his cabin. It wasn't until the consuming heat nearly reached him that it finally roused him from his sleep. Shooting up in his bed, he glanced up at the fire engulfed rooftop. He quickly climbed out of his bed, confused and dazed as he tried to figure out if this was real or a dream. Just as he had tried to exit his cabin, the Hydra smashed the far wall and roof of his cabin, leaning it's heads in towards him and releasing a menacing growl. Wes nearly falling over, screamed the most high pitch and least manly scream that had ever escaped his lips.

Wes dodged one head that nipped at him, ducking under another and then jumping over the next of the last head that blocked his exit. Then with haste and without looking back he ran through the woods, only dressed in his boxers shouting, "HYDRAAAAAAA!!!!!" As he ran he heard the large monster chasing after him. He wanted to run towards Trinity's cabin to check on her safety but if she was safe... She wouldn't be when he returned. So instead he made his way with all haste towards the clearing at the center of camp.

He had stripped himself of all his top layers except his tank shirt. It didn't take him long to find sleep or at least be in a meditative state. Except when someone was screaming his name closely followed be being shaken awake. David's eyes snapped open and glared at the girl for lacking every aspect of common courtesy and slowly sat up. "Please David..." she begun to plea and that in itself had David's attention. All the desperation in her eyes and voice. "I need your help! Hades... Hades took Ajax to the Underworld. Take us there, Alex and I." David's eyes shifted to Alex who had newly come to his attention. They must have been incredibly desperate to barge into his cabin unannounced and to expect him to betray his own father. Whatever Hades did, he was ruthless about it. And who ever meddled with his objectives would pay. "Please I beg you. I'll do whatever you want, I don't care. Just please help us... We have no one else to turn to." David smiled. Well that was obvious. However having someone being so in debt to him sounded like an excellent advantage that a guy like him could use. Hades always said make the most of an opportunity.

"And you?" he asked Alex. He didn't have to take the package deal if he didn't want. It wasn't his brother or lover in trouble and they needed him. Jenn had done her good deed to suit her for a thousand years so he doubted she'd do them any favors.

Giving Alex time to think on it, he wondered to his bedroom where he retrieved his red hoodie then waltzed back out. "Are you ready?" David grabbed an arm and wrist of each girl and focused on the underworld. And soon enough they were descending in flames and darkness. David released both of them as soon as they arrived. "A few rules newbies, don't go yelling and screaming for Ajax. If he's not dead already he's unconscious. You'll only piss off the dead and my dog and alert Hades of our whereabouts. Stay on the path and try keep up. I have an idea where Hades has taken him." David told them and led the way.

Hades would be pissed another one of his offsprings were attempting to rescue one of Zeus' soft spots. Hell, David didn't even like it. But if the war that everyone hated to talk about was fast approaching, they'd need him and all his electrical charge.

Melissa looked back at Alex for a second, just as she spoke. "I know you mean well, and I really appreciate everything, Mel, but yeah.. I just want to be alone for now." Melissa nodded and gave Alex a smile before continuing on to where she thought her cabin was. "Mel..." Melissa looked back as Alex pointed in practically the opposite direction. "That way.." Melissa giggles and headed off in the aforementioned direction.

She reached her cabin after a good seven minutes of walking and stumbling. Opening the door she was attacked by her three dogs, each jumping and licking at Melissa. Laughing, genuine joy lit up Melissa's face. "Hey guys! Did you miss me?" Picking up Demon Melissa headed to the kitchen to make some food. She had made sure to stock up the week before and had even made some stuff for quick meals. Pulling out a container from the fridge Melissa set Demon down. Grabbing bread and three small plates Melissa grabbed a spoon and scooped some chicken salad onto each. Setting the three plates down Melissa looked sternly at her dogs, who all sat a few feet away from where she set the plates. Each wagged their tails, Demon being the only one looking at the food while the other two stared at Melissa. "Okay, Go Ahead." The dogs lept on their plates and Melissa laughed as she turned to finish making her sandwich.

Once she had finished eating Melissa was glad to feel her thoughts begin to unscramble. As the alcohol wore off Melissa patted each of her dogs on the head before heading towards her room to get her workout bag. Halfway through packing her bag her dogs started barking loudly and snarling. Stepping out of her room she frowned to see them all facing the door. It wasn't until a few moments later that she heard Wes' scream. "HYDRAAAAAAA!!!!!" Melissa frowned but then she heard the roar of the beast. Dropping the stuff in her hands Melissa ran back into her room and opened her weapon armoire. Yanking on a back harness Melissa sheathed a sword in each scabbard and then grabbed two more swords.

Running out of her cabin Melissa raced towards the commotion as fast as she could. Once she reached the scene she swore and took in who all was there. Seeing Daniel and Trinity, Melissa let out a relieved sigh and shouted at the two of them. "Trinity! What the hell! Never leave your cabin without a weapon!" Knowing that her half-sister's reflexes were just as good as her own Melissa tossed the two swords in her hands to the girl. "Daniel how good are you at elemental magic?!" As she spoke she started towards the hydra quickly. Unsheathing the two swords on her back Melissa slicked into it's left hind leg, smiling in satisfaction as she felt her blades cut through muscles and hit bone.

█▐ ♔┊Alex went with Andy to Davids cabin. Of course they'd need to ask one of the enemies children to help, because they were the only ones who got VIP access to the Underworld. From what her brother had mentioned about that place, it was close to the Mortals Hell. If worse. A sea of souls!? a huge dog that guarded mostly Hades's little castle. Oh I bet he felt like a King in there, sitting on his throne all high and mighty. They soon arrived at Davids, bursting in through his door without a single warning. What if he was naked? Alex mentally shook that thought out of her head quickly.

She watched how Andy shook him awake. He wasn't really angry about their intrusion.. probably because he actually didn't mind Hecate's Daughter being around him. "And you?" he had asked her, but she didn't say a word. He was testing her patience. She had nothing to offer him. What exactly was he expecting from her? if he didn't want to help!? then fine. They'd then have to do it the hard way, and with not knowing their way around that place!? their was definitely a possibility of being killed, getting lost.. or both. She simply glared at him, and wandered on over to a better spot in the room to leave for the hell hole.

David had hold of her hand, and Andy's which childishly made Alex cringe a little, but their little trip was soon enough over, and Alex was looking around the place. Ajax was right, it really was horrible down here, and she could of sworn she could smell burning flesh.

"A few rules newbies, don't go yelling and screaming for Ajax. Did he honestly think they were both dumb? Alex folded her arms, fighting back the urge to roll her eyes, so instead, she just allowed them to drift off towards Andy for a second. "If he's not dead already he's unconscious. You'll only piss off the dead and my dog and alert Hades of our whereabouts. Stay on the path and try keep up. I have an idea where Hades has taken him."

At the mention of: If he's not dead already, Alex's stomach flipped, and her heart sank at the very thought of her brother no longer being apart of the living. She felt like shouting 'Shut up! he's alive!' but what if he was right? Alex remained close to both Andy, David, and the path. She didn't wonder from it once, and kept her mind on their goal.

The Gods had never underestimated their children, and they always silently praised them, but they needed to hear the words for themselves. Maybe Zeus would grant each God to spend a day with their children before they'd need to return back to Mount Olympus. That would surely be the greatest gift for everyone.

As the winds changed from the East, Poseidon watched over his Daughters intently. He couldn't believe how much they had both grown. Poseidon regretted ever leaving them, but his duties as a God were needed. It was against their rule to spend time upon Earth, because when a God remains on Mortal ground for too long.. they become Mortal. Many Gods in the past had given up their power for a mortal they were in love with, but not Poseidon, Ares, Athena, Hecate, or Zeus. They had no intentions of leaving their home. Ever.

His concentration on them soon broke as he noticed something emerging within the Camp itself. "Hydraaaa!!!" one of them screamed, causing Poseidon to tense up at his post. He was close to the edge, ready to dive in and take over, to rid the camp of such a beast. "Zeus.. Hades has conjured a Hydra." The look on his face was covered in worry, but he needed to remain positive, and strong.

This wasn't what he expected, not this early on in their camp days. "And he's taken your son." The Clouds began to swirl, turning black before a lightening storm began to slowly form with the rage that was building inside of him. He couldn't step in, he wanted to, but he had faith someone would rescue him and make it right. Zeus clenched his jaw, and headed on over to the edge of their lookout point, his eyes taking in the entire camp and where everyone was. "We need to get down there before that thing kills them." just before Poseidon could take off, Zeus shot his arm out in-front of him to stop him. "No. They need to do this alone. The war will be much harder than this. Calm yourselves. Consider it their training."

As much as he wanted to disobey Zeus's orders, Poseidon was the most loyal among the Gods. He never once stepped out of line from stupidity, but from following his heart, and that was not punishable by death to Zeus.

"I know you want to do what is right, I know you want to keep them safe, especially your children.. but wait. You'll understand why when the time comes."

Ares rolled his eyes from the little corner he was sat in, polishing his pride and joy. His war hammer. "Someones been paying too much attention to the seers again. They have been wrong many of times, and for one!? I do not trust one eyed witches." he glared before turning back to his weapon. "The war might not even come, but I hope it does, for war is my legacy." he stood up then, and began to swing his sword in fancy moves, causing the steel to ring through the air.

His showing off caused Poseidon to laugh, while Zeus remained quiet for the moment. Typical of Ares not to take it seriously, he saw it as a game that he was confident he'd win. Athena, she was more worried than all of them. "I can't have my children down their facing that thing.. you have to stop it before it gets out of hand. Hydras are too dangerous.. Hades has gone too far I--" Athena cut off, and her mouth fell open with shock as the Hydra managed to already almost hurt one of the children. "Please, I beg you. Let us help them."

Andy had zoned out when David turned his attention towards Alex, asking what she'd do for him. Regardless of his rough exterior, she could tell he was a good guy. Maybe it was because she asked him, and he seemed to not totally detest her presence. But either way she was grateful. "Are you ready?" David asked them both while taking their hands. In no time they faded through flames and darkness until they were in the Underworld. Before he released her hand, Andy turned towards him, gently squeezing his hand. "Thank you David." She whispered, the gratitude sincere.

"A few rules newbies, don't go yelling and screaming for Ajax. If he's not dead already he's unconscious. You'll only piss off the dead and my dog and alert Hades of our whereabouts. Stay on the path and try keep up. I have an idea where Hades has taken him." Andy felt bad having David turn against his own father. Regardless of his relationship with the man it wasn't right. She gently moved him aside to speak quietly with him so Alex wouldn't hear. "Look I don't want to cause problems between you and your father... Just... Just tell me where Hades is. I have a plan." She looked him dead in the eye not saying her intentions behind the words. If David was at all as smart as he looked he probably knew deep down.

After a moment or 2 passed, she cleared her throat letting her gaze drift momentarily towards the saddened Alex. "If you tell me where he is you can go before it's too late... I don't want to drag you down into this." Andy looked back towards David. Her plan was mad and would probably get every form of contradiction and argument but from what she knew about Hades... She already knew they couldn't just simply grab Ajax and get out without a price.

Good thing I work out. Is all Wes was thinking as she sprinted full speed away from the hydra. It wasn't until he felt the rumbling that was following him turn in a different direction. He came to a skidding halt, glancing over his shoulder to watch the beast go towards Viviane who looked like she used some water on the beast.

Wes was trying to look around for anything he could use as a weapon when his attention was broken hearing his name shouted, "Wesley!" He froze, turning his head to look towards who called his name, expecting it to be a worried Alex. But to his surprise... It was a worried Trinity. "You okay?" He glanced over himself, surprised that he actually seemed ok. "Yeah... I think!" He stood there catching his breath as he then saw her climb a tree. Then within a split second she was on top of the beast and raising an axe in the air. Oh god she doesn't know! "Trinity! Don't cut off the-" He stopped mid sentence as she severed the head, watching as 2 grew back in its place. "...Head."

Watching on edge as the Trinity moved about the Hydra before one head knocked her off then continued after the Poseidon girl. He needed to do something. Quickly glancing around, he realized he was near the outdoor work out equipment. Without any other present options, he sprinted towards it. He grabbed the 25lbs circular weight off one side of the dumbbell. "Hey ugly!!" As the hydra turned to look towards him, Wes began to spin around working up momentum. He then released the weight, sending it flying through the air and slamming into one of the heads.

He went to cheer until he realized it only pissed off the monster. It reared back its heads growling before charging towards him. "Son of a bitch!!!!" Pivoting on his heels he ran back towards the work out equipment, grabbing the now unweighted barbell. Gripping it like a baseball bat he then turned to face the approaching monster. But before he got a chance to swing the monster was leaning in to snap him in its jaws. Just before it's fangs closed in on him he held the bar out to catch the bite. With the Hydra biting down on the barbell, it whipped its head and him along with it, tossing him into a tree.

Andy moved him aside along with herself. "Look I don't want to cause problems between you and your father... Just... Just tell me where Hades is. I have a plan." David didn't like the sounds of that one bit. Or trust her really, but the look in her eyes was confident and ambitious so obviously she had some plan in mind. And if it was a bad plan, he'd pay anyway. After a moment, she spoke again particularly self-conscious of her tone. "If you tell me where he is you can go before it's too late... I don't want to drag you down into this." He frowned in confusion. This was his domain, more so than Hecate's children. "We're already pretty low." He pointed out. "And in case you didn't figure it out already, you've already dragged me into it. People don't just fall into the Underworld." But David could feel the stupid idea already, and that, he wouldn't be associated with.

David rolled his neck as he did his eyes. "He's probably up the steps, then to the right." He had a feeling what she was going to do but not in a place to oppose the craziness of love or warn her of Hades cunning. Before she could murmur some deluded thanks to him, he left, pushing off from the stone wall and walking the way he came.
"Follow against the river souls and you should find the portal to get back." He told Alex. He'd try hang around to warp them out but he wasn't making any deals or promises on it. David had to stay well out of range on Ajax's release.

█▐ ♔┊Alex watched as Andy pulled David to the side. She wasn't stupid, she knew instantly that Andy was going to do something possibly reckless. It was obvious. Ajax definitely wouldn't be happy with whatever she had planned, which could possibly be to strike a deal with Hades himself. Who was to say the deal would even be accepted? especially since Ajax was the one leverage that Hades wanted over Zeus. No doubt the mighty God King himself would come down at some point to rescue them, but Zeus had more faith in his children, he knew that even though they were half mortal, they still had the power within them to overthrow anyone if they truly wanted to. But not alone against a God.

Alex was getting more impatient now, she wanted to get to her brother as quickly as possible with no delays, just encase every second counted to his survival. Just as Alex was about to rush off in the direction that David had given Andy, she paused quickly within her first two steps, her eyes on his as he spoke to her.

At first, she thought he was talking to Andy, but he wasn't because his eyes were specifically on her.

"Follow against the river souls and you should find the portal to get back." within that few couple of seconds of hearing his voice like that, Alex felt like she was being pulled towards him. His voice was.. warm, relaxed, and it truly caught her off guard as she didn't expect him to speak to her like that. She was going to be honest to herself.. David wasn't as bad as she had thought, and with everything he had done already, especially turning against his father to help a child of Zeus, made Alex regret ever going with Andy to his cabin.

He didn't have to tell her how to get out, he could of let her rot here with Ajax, and Andy.. but he was helping in every way he could, and Alex was appreciating every second of it.

She placed herself within his shoes, and pictured her going against her father that she truly loved, just to protect his enemies son. Alex would of definitely felt torn, crushed, and like a traitor. She didn't really want this rivalry between their parents, but they would never listen, or agree to a truce.. would they? maybe if they could just see that getting along was so much easier.

Ajax had always taught Alex, being nasty to people takes up a lot more energy than just being nice.

So with that quote from her brother in her head, Alex decided to gently touch David's arm with her right hand. Hopefully he knew that her touching him was her way of saying thank you, and that she knew exactly how he felt, and why he cannot possibly go with them. In all honesty!? she had been too harsh on Hades children. Just because their father was evil, didn't mean they were evil too. Alex sighed and jogged on over to Andy now. She was ready to leave. "He might not forgive you if you do anything reckless." she told Andy before leading the way in the direction that David gave.

But before the Sparky little Brunette took off, she looked back over her shoulder at David for a second.

Hopefully he would be okay.

█▐ ♔┊"The infamous son of Zeus, here, in my home. How lucky I am to be within the presence of an Olympian Prince." He spoke while the dark smoke died down around them. Hades was then walking towards the far end of the room with Ajax rooted in place. The mans sarcasm wasn't hard to catch within his voice, because he made it obvious with his hatred towards Zeus, and anyone who chose to be loyal to him. He eventually sat upon his throne that was clearly made out of Skeletons. Who's? Ajax didn't want to know, he just wanted to get out of this hell hole, and return to camp. Safely.

"I bet that Daddy dearest wont even bother coming to rescue you. How does that make you feel?"

At first, Ajax thought it was a rhetorical question, but with the way Hades was looking at him; slouched in that throne, he realized that he truly wanted an answer. Of course Ajax felt disappointed that his father wasn't going to swoop in to save his son, but the answer that Ajax was piecing quickly together!? was surely true.

"I'm sure he has his reasons." was all Ajax gave him. He wasn't about to share his feelings with an enemy, that would give Hades the chance to use emotions against him so he could break him down into nothing more than fragments of pain, and misery. Even though Hades was dark, and evil.. he still cared for his children. He would swoop in to save them in no time if he knew they were truly in danger. That, was the same for Zeus, but Hades saw it differently with being blinded by hate.

Hades's face twitched with Ajax's half answer. He had so much to say to that, but instead, he remained in control.

"Lies. Your father may act as though he cares, but the second you do something wrong by mistake!? or show your undying love for him, and begging him for forgiveness!? he will toss you aside like you're nothing. Was Hades talking from experience at this point? He may be titled as King, but I am the true ruler of Mount Olympus. They will thank me when I rise and give them the power they've always been restricted from. They will enjoy the freedom I bestow on them. No more rules.."

His deep voice echoed around the room on those last three words of his. How could any of the Gods refuse such an offer!? how could they be certain that Hades would even keep his word!? hopefully their loyalty was much more powerful than their need for freedom with no rules. As hard as rules are sometimes, you need them to keep order so nothing gets out of hand.

"I have a surprise for your father," Hades added. "and I cannot wait for his reaction. A king should have a beautiful gift."

Ajax was scared now, because that comment of his could mean anything. With one swipe of his arm, he knocked Ajax back, causing him to land against what seemed to be a stone table. Souls tightened their grip on the boy, waiting for Hades to give the word. They wanted the half mortals soul. Ajax couldn't move much, but he could of sworn he was beginning to feel his soul trying to flee from his body out of fear.

In a flash of black smoke, Hades was right there. "What is more beautiful than death?" he asked Ajax while now leaning over him closely. It was like having Death himself leaning in and breathing his cold breath upon your face.
Death to Hades was like poetry, music, and Art all rolled into one master piece of genius creation.

Ajax's eyes were wide with fear for the first time in his life (apart from when his sister ran away.) "You don't need to do this.. please. I can talk to my father; he'll listen. I'm begging you, Hades. Don't. You'll only make things worse for yourself." Hades smirked. He enjoyed the fear within the boys eyes, and his voice before giving the souls their command. Ajax threw his head back, shouting out loudly in agony as his body violently arched up with the Dark souls that plunged themselves deeply into him, just to get to his soul that was trying to hide itself, and its light. But it was no use, they had found it, and were tearing it out of him which was draining away his life.

"We're already pretty low... And in case you didn't figure it out already, you've already dragged me into it. People don't just fall into the Underworld." David was right and she knew it. She'd try whatever she could to make it up to him at some point. Andy could tell by his facial expression that he knew what she was up to. But as far as he knew she was going to play naive. She wouldn't humor his thoughts and worry him. "He's probably up the steps, then to the right." Andy nodded her head towards him. David then spoke towards Alex, as Andy began to make her way towards the base of the stairs. "Follow against the river souls and you should find the portal to get back."

Once David was done talking to her, Alex jogged back over towards Andy. "He might not forgive you if you do anything reckless." Alex said to her before leading the way up the stairs. Andy looked down at her hands, slowly following behind. "... I don't care if he ends up hating me." She paused for a moment, "He just needs to live." As they began to reach the top of the staircase, Andy ran ahead of Alex. She then put out a hand to motion for Alex to halt.

Andy peaked her head around the corner just to see Hades finish sucking out Ajax's soul. She had to try and not gasp out, quickly turning around to face Alex. She moved down the few steps to her, gently grabbing her shoulders. "I'm going to make a distraction..." She whispered, "Go around the back and get your brother. Then take him to the portal that David told you about." Before Alex could argue, Andy ran up the stairs and out into the open.

"Let him go Hades!" That was definitely a way to get the God's attention. Andy tried to make herself look as strong and brave as possible, but it was definitely a hardship because of her fear for Ajax's safety. The God smirked towards her as he moved towards his feet and walked over towards her. "And who are you to make me?" He thought for a moment, then raised an index finger in realization. "Ah!... Daughter of Hecate I presume. No other would feel so at home in the Underworld aside from my own children." Andy hoped that as she spoke with Hades Alex was getting Ajax and getting out. But she wouldn't dare spare a glance in that direction in fear of causing Hades to look in the same direction.

Wes stumbled to his feet, holding his side. Just as he gained his bearings the ground began to quake beneath his feet. He moved over to grab a near by tree and brace himself. Then the ground under the Hydra began to split, allowing the the beast to fall into the crater. His eyes grazed the group of campers, quickly realizing it was Viviane who created the quake. Well now it was caged... But still alive in a matter of time it would get out, Wes was sure of it.

As much as Wes did not like that Theo kid, he definitely made a smart move. He climbed a tree and one by one began shooting arrows into the eyes of the Hydra, quickly blinding it. That would for sure be of some benefit, but you wouldn't see Wes saying anything about it. He was trying to think of anything else that they could do to kill it, but it wasn't that easy. This wasn't a simple minotaur. Blows had to be calculated and planned.

Then before anyone could do anything else, Trinity slid into the crater with the Hydra. Wes ran to the edge of the hole she went into, watching her on edge. She got a blade into the 2 front claws, pinning them into the ground. But not without getting talons dragged against her skin. Just as Wes was about to move around the circumference of the create to get her out, Daniel was already lifting her out with his powers.

Wes quickly looked around for anything to use. Then he saw a few hundred feet away, one of the sheds where they kept all the weapons for training. Without a second thought he sprinted towards the shed. Once there, he kicked down the door and grabbed every spear he could find. With his arms full, he ran back nearly tripping over his feet. As he reached the edge of the crater, he set down all the spears aside for one. He then held it at the ready, aiming before hurling it at the kneecap of the Hydra's back left leg.

Alex: #D63B71 ✦ Teal for thoughts. Ajax: Blue ✦ Green for thoughts.

█▐ ♔┊ Once they had reached the top of the stairs, she could of sworn she heard Ajax calling out in pain, but before she could take one more step, Andy had stopped her in her tracks. She clearly knew that it wasn't something she wanted Alex to see. She took a slight step back, waiting for Andy to explain why they had stopped. Her brows frowned a little while Andy told her to get Ajax. So she was definitely going ahead with the plan? what if there was another way? but before Alex could protest!? Andy was running out into the open towards Hades who now had his back to the stone table. Alex didn't waste another minute, so she took the back route, and remained quiet the entire time as she snuck on over to her brother. With him not moving, her heart sunk.. she thought he was dead until she saw his chest rising and falling with every breath that he took into his lungs.

Hades had almost turned around at one point, but Andy grabbed his attention back as Alex reached the stone table. Ajax looked drained, and the color from his face was slowly draining out of him. He looked terrible. Was he.. was he dying?

"Hold onto me, big brother, I'm getting you out of here." Ajax tried to reply, tried to tell her to leave him there, but he didn't have the energy. Luckily Alex was strong enough to hold him up with his arm around her shoulders, but what about Andy? how was she going to live with leaving her behind? Alex stalled for a moment, her eyes on her as she spoke with Hades. She could take that monster by surprise right now, shock millions of volts through his entire system for Andy to get away with them.. but would that really work on a God? especially since Alex was still so new to all of her powers. She couldn't risk it, she had to get her brother out. Quickly.

They were now heading back to where David told them the portal would be, but with every step she took with her brother, it got harder and more tiring with his muscled weight. At least she wouldn't miss the portal. It was a swirling mass of black and blue shadows that were going around in a circle so fast, and the noise that came from it was a low whirling noise.

Not too far away was David. No doubt he'll be questioning why there's only two of them, and not three. Ajax was leaning on her for support still, his eyes half open with the energy that was draining from him even more, but at least the pain was gone. He began to laugh a little like he was losing his mind, and Alex looked at him with a deep, confused, worried look upon her face before looking to David. "She's still back there, David.. she insisted on giving herself over to your father, or something along those lines of craziness. Can you save her?"

The help that Alex needed had finally come in the form of two staff members. "Alexandria, what happened?" they had asked her. She didn't know. "It doesn't matter for now, just help him. Please." She pointed at his body while lightly giving her order with worry in the back of her throat. One of the staff members had hurried to the supplies shed and got one of the medical stretchers that was propped up against one of the walls, and hurried back before both of them were placing her unconscious brother onto it. They carried him to their Camp medic hut with Alex remaining close to the stretcher, her feet moving in hurried steps to keep up before they were laying him on the table that was within the center of the room. "You may want to step back a little.. give us some space to work with." Alex didn't argue, she just took a couple of steps back with tears pooling up in her eyes. This can't be happening.. not now.

She never took her eyes off any of them working on Ajax, but she remained silent so they wouldn't lose concentration. They checked every inch of him, even checked for a pulse. There wasn't one. "Quick.. CPR!" Alex panicked, but she remained where she was. She didn't want to get in the way. What seemed like hours was only 7 minutes of trying to restart his heart after it stopped, but it was no use. They finally turned to the young Valis Sibling to deliver the worst news of her life. The way they looked at her once turning their attention to her, She knew that look all too well. That look was exactly the same one that her mother had given her the night her Grandma had passed away in her sleep. "Why have you stopped? help him." "I'm sorry, Alex.. he's gone. It's too late." Alex barged passed her with her shoulder, knocking her out of the way before she was by her brothers side. "No.." She looked him over, even searching his face as if looking for some sign of life. They had to of gotten it wrong. "They're lying.. wake up, AJ.. please, just open your eyes for me. Open them.. open your eyes!" she shouted, then began to sob while leaning over to him. She clung to him while placing a gentle, loving goodbye kiss to his forehead with her eyes closed.

Before she pulled back, she whispered how much she loved him, and that she'll see him again one day, but covered her mouth with shock. She was crying more while her stomach felt as though she was going to be sick. She had to get out of the room. "We did our best.." "Shut up." Alex scoffed, then left the room with her hand over her stomach. Her brother was gone, he had stopped existing, no longer the heir to the throne of Mount Olympus, no more light to protect her from the darkness, and no more best-friend.

While using a tree for some support, the rage bubbled up inside of her before letting out a spine tingling shout of pain from her heart tearing into a thousand pieces. She had snapped. Hearing a roar in the distance, Alex kicked off from the ground, flying towards the source of danger. This thing was going down! "GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" she warned everyone from the skies before darting in and out around it's heads. The hydras were trying their best to capture her, but Alex was too fast, and caused their necks to tie up in knots before she hovered above the ground.

Her eyes began to glisten a little with golden flecks as she held out her hands, charging up the lightening between them like she was holding an invisible ball in-front of herself. Wild winds swirled around her entire body like a hurricane as she began to slowly move higher and higher above the monster, then once high enough? she pushed the invisible ball out, causing a big electrical charge to crash into the monsters chest. She kept the flow going, not cutting it off once as it strangle the monsters heart to death. The Whirl of wind was also still going around her. She was like the inside of the storm.

David had to blink and take in all that Jennova had said with her words to him. And the whole ultimatium of his father or everyone else wasn't favorable. In any other circumstance it could have easily been shrugged off as dramatic because no choice was that black and white, but with Hades, it was. David was loyal to Hades, but it was often a critical relationship at best which wasn't doing David's mental health any favors. Yet no one else at camp was doing him favors either. At least Hades had given him powers.

David was only snapped back to reality when a bottle of water was handed his way. "I'm probably not the best choice to be coming to for advice dear brother. I made a bad choice to save Ajax's life... And to get my life back on track I had to give up my friends and tell our Father of Ajax's location." Jennova said. David closed his eyes and clenched his jaw slightly. The Hades bunch were busy countering each other's moves. He was more mad at himself than her but in either equation, more so the war than Hades's chess game, Ajax was an important piece.

"How did you get dragged into this anyways?... It couldn't have been Alex, she avoids us like the plague." He was summoned from his thoughts by his sister's voice again and didn't think twice before answering, "Andy. His girlfriend or something." He clarified so Jenn got a better idea of who Andy was. "Anyway she came to me saying she'll do anything and...well...she got what she wanted in some form. Ajax is free. And Alex....is causing a tempest." David observed glancing out the window where a storm raged savagely.

He paused then turned to Jennova coming to pay attention to some earlier detail. "Tame a fucking hydra? There's a hydra on camp!?" David was both excited and worried. More so worried a demi-god was trying to harvest so much power now. He blew out his lips. "Well we always have been talented for pissing off people in high places...but you and dad have really done it this time." David tapped his water bottle against hers as cheers and let himself out of her cabin.

Trinity was unaccustomed to half naked and beaten men touching her, so when Wes touched her arm, she retracted. He didn't linger longer than necessary and seemed satisfied with her fully healed arm as he released her. She appreciated his concern on some level and sure, even if she weren't healed she'd charge body first into battle but what could he do to stop a descendant of Ares from doing what they were made to do? Only Wes would find a way.

Before a ball of flame could be hurled towards her, Viviane extinguished it. "We'll have to stay on our toes, the more it struggles the more violent it gets. I got your back if you have mine." Trinity smiled and nodded. It felt good to know someone had her back and a teammate was present. Trinity would gladly have Viviane's back. Her opportunity to return the favor appeared sooner than she thought as one head lunged to snap at the Daughter of Poseidon and Trinity jumped forward and thrust her sword upwards beneath it's jaw. Trinity held it there, and cringed as little blood droplets fell on her. "Don't decapitate it. Don't decapitate it." She murmured to herself and withdrew her sword and saved Theo one less eye to shoot by jabbing a blade in it quickly.

Not long after more impaling and distracting the creature's heads, did Alex appear. "GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" She was almost a blur but Trinity knew that voice from previous command with the minotaur. She just hoped this one a had a better outcome. Trinity backed away more and more as Alex's powers seemed to amplify in a fit of rage. With the beast pinned in the crater and the help of Viviane's powers, the hydra received an intense shock and likely anyone nearby.

If that didn't effect the creature, she didn't know what would.

Trinity's retraction from his simple touch caused him to flinch slightly, while leaving his hand frozen midair momentarily. He wondered if it was related to what he told her before. Either way, he reluctantly dropped his hand to his side. He made mental note not to try again, simply watching her momentarily as she walked back near the Hydra's heads.

After letting loose another spear, Wes stood there and watched the beast. He had to respect the fight the Hydra had, even if it did destroy 90% of his belongs. The monster had a true will to live and even with numerous spears and arrows lodged in its body, it somehow found the will to live. The same realization made him question if they were ever going to stop it or if they should just dig a bigger crater and hope it never climbs its way out. The only idea that came to his mind was suffocation... Maybe a spear through each esophagus would render the beast unable to breath.

With that thought, Wes grabbed his last spear and moved to the edge of the crater. He worried slightly that he may fall it or get knocked in with the Hydra, but he had to be closer for a good shot. The second after Viviane extinguished flames, Wes let loose the spear. He cursed under his breath as it just skimmed the neck, but thankfully enough to open the throat. The head with the slit neck started growling and wheezing as it gasped for air. But he had no more spears, and he couldn't hope to be that lucky again.

"GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Wes looked up to see Alex come in a whirlwind. "What the hell?" He watched her in shock. She caused half the hydra's heads to knot, and that was just the beginning. She struck it with lightning among many other things causing a storm around the beast. Wes was so stunned at her forth right actions and blatant anger that he worried what had caused her to act this way. His attention elsewhere caused him to not pay attention as he started getting tugged towards the high winds as he stood at the edge of the crater.

With one good gust of wind, Wes was knocked off his feet and pulled towards the pit. "Shit..." His hands clawed at the ground, getting grip up torn roots that stuck from the edge of the crater. He was at least thankful there were enough swords and spears in the Hydra to keep it in place. He hadn't noticed when throwing spears how sore he had become from being tossed into the tree. But at this point where only his own strength kept him out of the pit, he felt it.

There was a lot going on around them. Viviane was trying to keep her eyes on the Hydra and maintain calm. If one of it's heads decided to strike against them, she'd strike back with double the force. No doubt Trinity would too. She proved herself a second later when one of the heads made a move towards her to undoubtedly take a nice bite out of her. With her sword in hand, Trinity thrust it into the beasts jaw, holding it there for a minute as the blood trickled down, before removing it and whipping blood everywhere. Viviane stared as the beast withdrew it head in obvious agony. "Thanks for that," she nodded in Trinity's direction. Without her quick reflexes, Viv may not have completely dodged that.

As Wes hung onto the edge of the crater, he began to grow more worried as Alex's lightning and Vivian's water started to clash together. That's all he needed was to get electrocuted through the water. Not only would that suck, but he knew Alex would never forgive herself for hurting her friend.

Thankfully as he held on he heard someone call out towards him, "Damn, hold on!" When Wes felt Ian's hand reach down to grab his own hand, he grasped tightly to his arm as he pulled him out. Once they were far enough away from the crater and out of danger, they both collapsed on the ground. "Thanks man." Wes lightly patted Ian's chest in thanks. He laid there on his back, staring up at the sky as his chest heaved heavily while he tried to catch his breath. "You alright?" Wes laughed weakly, "I think so." He props himself up on his elbows. As he sat there he could see the smoke tower that rose from his cabin. "Fucking brilliant."

Wes' attention was quickly drawn to Alex once the beast was dead. "Listen up.. I'm not in-charge here, but I need everyone to make their way to the main hut and.. grab a seat. I got some news for everyone... Please" He wanted to run up to her, pull her aside and ask her what was wrong and just be there for her. But he could tell that, at least right now, that wouldn't be a good move. She knew he was there for her, and he'd do what she asked without question. Wes got to his feet and made his way towards the main hall. Once inside, he took a seat. Looking down he realized he was wearing just boxers. The thought never crossed his mind when he was running from a monster or fighting for his life. But now virtually everything of his was destroyed, and it's not like people carried around extra pants. So Wes simple rested his hands in his lap trying to cover what he could.

"I mean Andy wasn't there for the return trip so she probably worked out some faulty exchange for Ajax. And he, meanwhile looks like he's dying. So she probably only asked his release and not his life. So she's stuck in there for nothing." David's answer made Jennova stand kind of frozen where she was. She wasn't really able to speak until he was gone. "Shit." That definitely was not what she was expecting.

Jenn couldn't help but feel a little bad about the Andy chick. She didn't particularly know the girl, but David seemed to at least be on somewhat better terms with her in comparison to other campers. Now the girl made a trade for Ajax who sounds like he's nothing more than a zombie. She could only imagine what would happen to Andy at the hands of Hades. No doubt she'd be locked away in the dungeons and tortured until her spirit breaks... If it does before her death.

From the looks of things out the window, the Hydra must have been dead or tamed. But Jennova decided with everything that happened from what she told her father, she'd be better off staying in her cabin. Although it made her look suspicious, she didn't doubt that over half of them had already probably assumed it was her anyways.

After the hydra was well past dead, Alex spoke. "Listen up.. I'm not in-charge here, but I need everyone to make their way to the main hut and.. grab a seat. I got some news for everyone... Please" Rather than a thanks to the group, silence, approaching Alex or a miraculous sorry to her for piffing her through the air Daniel resumed to his jokester self once the battle resided. “You got a little…You too Ariel.” He made a vague gesture to his whole face then towards Viviane, no doubt referring to the blood droplets they had coped for being engaged in close combat with the hydra.
"I can't imagine why. Forgive me for not caring for my appearance during battle. I know...or at least I hear, it should be a priority to some people but Viv and I were a little busy being productive in battle." She informed him, and behind the smooth snark was an accusing tone. She noticed Daniel drifting to the side and out of harms way during the attack. But she couldn't entirely blame him for his inappropriate timing. There was a whole new kind of tension present that she did not like or was comfortable with at all.

She was past the 'little' stage too. From the wound Viv healed, the material of her sweater had been torn and bloody on one arm. Her legs meanwhile were starting to color to bruises, so a little bit of the oppositions blood in the mix didn't matter. And a quick shower for the night was out of the equation as Alex wanted them in the hall for some important news.

As she reached the hall and took a seat, folding her arms over a chair in front of her, she noticed what a perfect horror icon she must have made. Young blonde bloody girl, looking like hell and back sitting casually near the back of an assembly.

Trinity couldn't help but risk a glance to the sculpture bare back of Wesley. She felt worse and better in one glance. Worse because he had lost his cabin and belongings in the attack. That and he was still sat awkwardly in his boxers, and as a personal preference she'd rather be messy and bloody than half naked. Better because his presence showed he was okay. Silently, she moved to his row, leaving a seat between them so she wasn't being invasive. "Good to see you made it." She whispered, though she kept her eyes ahead, waiting for Alex to speak.

Trinity studied the rest of the group carefully, and their consequences of battle.

Alex: #D63B71 ✦ Teal for thoughts.

Her brothers voice was ringing in her head with everything that he had spoken to her about, especially after stupid arguments with each-other. He'd open up to her about everything, even though he did that anyway, but they were deeper thoughts/feelings after hurting her with words he didn't ever mean.

Soon enough the others were coming into the hut where they gathered for meetings from time to time, if necessary, but this was far from a meeting. With her hands folded infront of her, she chewed lightly on her bottom lip, her eyes on the floor as she prepared herself. She didn't want to break down, or look weak.. but how could she mourn in silence? she was still half human after all. Once everyone was seated, Alex licked her dry lips gently before parting them to speak.

"I really don't know any other way of putting this, but my brother is no longer with us. He was killed.. by Hades." her bottom lip and chin began quivering gently, but she held it together. "I lost my brother, who was also my best-friend.. He did everything to protect us. He would always be prepared to keep us all safe"

"But that's not the case anymore. He's dead, because one God can't face the fact that someone is better than himself." If Alex could get the chance? she'd gladly take Hades down with the rest of the Camp, with a plan of course, and get rid of him for good.. but one thought stopped her from seeking revenge. David. After everything that was happening!? Hades was still his father. It wouldn't be fair to take his father away from him, especially since that wouldn't be something Alex would want to happen to herself. Why couldn't the Gods just live in peace for once? why all the pathetic bickering for the throne? they could help each-other, not fight each-other. though ending Hades's life would also end the war that would be coming their way.

"It takes more energy to hate each other, than it does caring and loving. There will never be peace.. war will forever tear this world apart. At least now AJ can be at peace.." Alex didn't really seem herself anymore.. she looked like she was shutting off her feelings so she didn't have to go through so much pain again. It was a bad idea to have siblings at this camp, and a mistake of allowing herself to feel for others. Even though Wes was in his boxers, she knew he'd be here for her if she needed him, but honestly!? at this point she just needed to be left a alone for a while.

The speech was done now, even if it wasn't a fantastic one.. but she didn't give a damn at this point. She looked like she was silently in her own world at the end, then headed off out of the hut before making her way towards David's cabin. Talking to him was needed, because she had an inkling that it was his sister, but she needed to just make sure it wasn't him first. It wasn't like he was going to confess anyway, and who was to say he'd dob in his sister if it was her!? Alex was gambling here, but it needed to be done.

Once at David's cabin which kind of looked intimidating with where it sat, Alex began to knock on his door with not wanting to barge in like Andy did. Not that she blamed her. Patiently she waited for him to answer. Hopefully he was home.

He shouldn't have expected anything more or less than Alex herself at his door. Yet when he opened it, he couldn't help but feel surprised. David thought or hoped, with the part he played she'd be done with him and they could go on hating each other in silence. He guarded the entry to his cabin, the door halfway closed with his frame blocking the frame. With a deep inhale he braced himself for the finger pointing and accusations to fly his way. Maybe even a mob behind her.
Hadn't he done enough to clear his name from favors for people he didn't even like. Hadn't he done enough to clear his name in general?

David cut right to the point, all in the hopes of clearing his own name and saving his own backside.

"Look, I'm not your guy. Otherwise I wouldn't even have helped you." He pointed out. Just because the queen bee didn't get her ideal result, didn't mean he didn't help or stick his neck out. He'd like to see her try to outright defy her Daddy dearest. "My understanding is about as much as yours. Hades wanted Ajax and Jennova helped him get him." That last part was likely new information to her though. He scowled at himself, rolled his eyes and closed the door on Alex. He was done talking for the night.

Despite the world revolving around her dead brother, Daniel was also a sibling short. "Shit." He breathed. Andy could've been dead by this time too for all he knew.

Wes sat there awkwardly staring down at his lap with his hands still covering his manhood. It's not like anyone could see anything but he still felt like he was showing too much in just his boxers. He hardly noticed anyone sitting beside him, and he wouldn't have unless she spoke due to the seat between them. "Good to see you made it." He scoffed as he turned his head to look at her although she wasn't looking at him. His gaze fell upon the awkward empty seat between them, before he spoke. "...Relatively."

He really had no idea what else to say. His cabin was destroyed, probably with 90% of his belongings. He hadn't even tried to figure out what he was going to do for the night, probably just sleep in the field because what else could he do? Thankfully his attention was drawn to Alex before he could draw on in his thoughts about what happened to his things. "I really don't know any other way of putting this, but my brother is no longer with us. He was killed.. by Hades." Wes wanted to go up there and just... hug her. But he wasn't dressed for it, plus if she wanted his comfort she would have came to him.

"I lost my brother, who was also my best-friend.. He did everything to protect us. He would always be prepared to keep us all safe. But that's not the case anymore. He's dead, because one God can't face the fact that someone is better than himself. It takes more energy to hate each other, than it does caring and loving. There will never be peace.. war will forever tear this world apart. At least now AJ can be at peace.." When Alex was done talking, she wasted no time in leaving.

Wes sat there trying to take everything in and looking around the room to gauge everyone's opinions on the matter. It wasn't until that moment that he realized another fiery brunette hadn't been present. Hell, she hadn't been present for the fight with the beast which was odd... She was so quick to jump on a minotaur, then no where to be seen when a Hydra shows up. Wes being curious and slightly worried, moves to his feet and walks over to Daniel. "Hey... uh, where's Andy? I haven't seen her since the campfire."

Alex: #D63B71 ✦ Teal for thoughts.

Alex didn't have to wait long, because David soon came to the door. The look on his face didn't even need words, because it was obvious that he didn't want her to be anywhere near him, or his home, but Alex had to be one hundred percent certain. She had been piecing the puzzle together for hours now, and David had finally confirmed it for her. Thank God.

Before she could say anything to him, he had already closed the door on her, causing Alex to flare her nostrils with a heavy sigh before storming off towards Jennova's Cabin. Alex was fuming. Soon as she was there, she banged on the door a few times with her fist, then stepped back a little, waiting for Jennova to answer. "GET OUT HERE NOW..!! RIGHT NOW!" Alex yelled her orders. She was growing impatient already, and her heart was racing quickly with her body trembling slightly with the Adrenalin that was rushing through her entire veins. She wanted to rip the girls head off for what she had done. How would she like it if Alex had handed her brother to Zeus? no doubt she'd be just as angry, or maybe she wouldn't even care since she seemed to mirror Hades more than David. Alex had to admit, Jennova was the one she hated with a passion, and David.. well... he was someone she just didn't like, but that thought seemed harsh now since he did help her.

He reached the hall and took a seat, crossing his arms over the chair in front of him. Alex's news was more dreadful then he thought. Ajax. Dead. The son of Zeus and legacy of the big King deceased? Ajax was a great model for them. But more so a beacon to a lot of other people. Yet none suffered the loss quite as great as Alex. Daniel wished he could hug her or change her detached tone but he never got the chance or time to comprehend the circumstances and play support before she took off elsewhere.

Most of them were left buried in their own thoughts or dumbfounded. Beyond the loss was the new mystery of who was the next alpha? The new big guy on camp. Daniel hated it but there was always a more dominant unspoken figure and that happened to be Ajax. And his absence left a vague opening. Who would be next? Alex? Ares girls? Himself?

"Hey... uh, where's Andy? I haven't seen her since the campfire." Wes approached. He would have scowled if he hadn't caught some concern in Wes' features. Daniel could only sigh out in response. Andy's absence from that commotion had been playing at the back of his mind but he never really tended to it. He looked around as if expecting her to burst through the doors at any minute, possibly rambling on about how she had saved Ajax at the last minute too and peace would be restored and he'd be saved from answering Wesley's question. But she never came. "Thanks for bringing it to my attention sunshine, but I don't actually know." He pressed his tongue to his cheek, his worry increasing for his sister right up to the point his knees jigged in anxiety. "Stuff this Romeo and Juliet shit." Andy couldn't have been lost in the same day. He got up from his chair to check her cabin by the small chance she'd be there in a deep knocked out slumber that made her miss some hydra slaying action. Then Daniel would tease her for it, she'd tease back and they'd go to sleep.

"Andy? Andy!?" She wasn't in her cute quaint little cabin.

He was more mad at himself than anything. But...so long as she wasn't announced dead, she was alive. And he had to believe she was fine and in control. He paced her cabin which quickly grew tedious in a small glass box so he marched to his own cabin and out on his porch.

"Thanks for bringing it to my attention sunshine, but I don't actually know." Daniel said in response to the question about Andy's whereabouts. Wes sighed slightly, rolling his eyes. He didn't stick around to see what Daniel was going to do. He felt conflicted that he couldn't comfort his friend who just lost the most important person in her life, not to mention the Hydra beat the shit out of him and he was beginning to feel the effects.

Making his way through the camp, he sighed sadly when he came upon the sight of his barely standing cabin. It didn't look that safe to go inside but he wanted to salvage what he could before watching it crumble. Wes carefully made his way into the cabin and looked around the charred remains. He only found one piece of clothing that wasn't totally ruined, a pair of basketball shorts, better than nothing he supposed. Wes pulled them on before continuing to search but the cabin began to creek signing that any moment it'd give way.

Wes grabbed a have burnt blanket and exited the cabin just before it collapsed on the ground. He sighed, rubbing his temples before walking back towards the open field in the center of camp. He had no idea what he was going to do for the night, but at least it was a warm night and no rain. Wes laid out the blanket on the grass before moving to lie on his back, crossing his arms beneath his head and look up at the stars.

A long set of bangs on the door woke her up from her slight daze she fell into while reading a book. "GET OUT HERE NOW..!! RIGHT NOW!" Jennova growled under her breath as she ran a hand back through her hair. "Seriously David... You couldn't keep your mouth shut for one fucking day!?" She grumbled under her breath. She moved to her feet and made her way to her door. She knew that no matter what, that this was not going to end well.

Jenn threw open the door, then quickly brought her hands up in loose fists in front of her face preparing herself to be swung at at any moment. "Look... You're as much of a Daddy's girl as I am. And if the tables were turned and Zeus was pissed off at you and that only way you could get back in his good graces would be turning in me or David, we both know you would do it!" She was not in any mood to fight physically, verbally or any other ways. She sighed knowing she wasn't going to get off with it that easily. Jenn dropped her hands, "I'll give you one free one... But then I'll fight back." She tapped her jaw as she turned her cheek towards Alex, just wanting to get the fight over with.

Andy quickly found out that Hades was no bluffing about wanting to break her spirit. It took no time at all for her to quickly loose track of how much time she had been there. Had it been minutes? Hours? Days?

That's the funny thing about torture, the worse it is, the slower time seems to pass.At first he tried simple torture of just trying to beat her until she cracked, but that didn't work. Sure it was painful, but Andy wasn't going to crack that easily. It seemed the more and more she resisted and tried to stay strong, the harder Hades tried to break her down. She thought about cracking and giving in but she owed it to herself to fight until there was no breath left in her to be strong.

Finally Hades seemed to give her a breather, taking her back to the dungeons. She was dragged to the cage at the far end of the corridor, her hands shackled to the wall before being locked into the cage. Andy slumped down onto her knees, not having enough strength to try to remain standing. She looked and felt like hell. Her skin seemed to be more shades of blue and purple than it was it's natural pale ivory. Her left eye was so swollen that she couldn't even try to open it. Dried blood covered her clothing, skin and even a trail down her face from under her her nose. While the bridge of her nose was swollen and raised, most likely broken. There wasn't a part of her body that hadn't been touched. Between bruises, slashes, stabs or whatever else Hades could muster up. Just enough to cause horrible pain, but not enough to kill her.

"Andy?" She heard her name called, sounding like David. There was no way he came back for her. It had to be another trick of Hades'. He probably figured out the only way to really break her would be faking she was saved. Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she shook her head. "No... please...." Andy's voice cracked. "I can't handle anymore..." At this point she wished Hades would just let her die instead of giving her false hope of survival or escape.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Tired

The battle was quickly won and by the end of it, Viv was winded and a bit sore. A nap was all she wanted right now. Using up her powers like that sapped the energy out of her. She looked over to Alex to see how she was doing, surely she must be tired too. Nope. She looked miserable and terribly saddened. The smile that had been about to give Alex as a 'hey we did it!' quickly vanished and she coughed to hide her features. She was calling everyone to the main hunt then. Something about having to tell them all something. Viv didn't like the sound of that one bit, that could only mean bad news. And at that very moment, Viv didn't think she could handle some bad news.

Daniel had spotted Trinity and her a moment later. Motioning to his face he mentioned that Trinity had some blood on her face, “You too, Ariel.” Half smirking, half rolling her eyes she sarcastically replied, "thanks Loki". If he was still using nicknames, so was she. Trinity was quick to reply too, "I can't imagine why. Forgive me for not caring for my appearance during battle. I know...or at least I hear, it should be a priority to some people but Viv and I were a little busy being productive in battle." With that she followed Trinity to the hut and shot a look back at Daniel suggesting 'she told you' before lifting her shirt up to wipe some of the blood from her face. She felt dead but she didn't want to look it.

Viviane sure as hell wasn't ready for what Alex had just told them. Sitting there in the hut with the news she just received knocked whatever air was left in her lungs. Not Ajax. Whatever was going on between Zeus and Hades didn't have to reflect bank onto their children. Why couldn't the Gods understand that? Her heart broke for Alex. She didn't have as strong of a relationship to her sister, considering she had just met her that day, but she could only imagine the pain that Alex was going through right now.

She turned then to notice Ian behind her. "Hey let me check that out now." Getting up, a bit dumbfounded with the recent news, she inspected his shoulder and grabbed a nearby water bottle opening it. With the water from within she manipulated the water to form a veil over Ian's shoulder and began healing it. As soon as that was finished she patted him on his back in a silent goodbye and began towards her cabin, passing by the Hecate's children's cabins. She heard some commotion come from within one cabin. As she made it out past the skirt of trees she saw Daniel march to his own cabin. Viviane was bound to pass by him anyway on her way to her own cabin so she stopped to acknowledged him. He looked exhausted and ... anxious? "You alright there?"

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Stunned

Ian stayed on the ground a moment longer. Wes was alright and thus he had done what he could. "No problem man." As soon as the shit storm was done, Ian looked up from his place on the ground to hear the Alex wanted to meet them all in the main hunt to tell them something. Which to his ears sounded a whole like how a girlfriend tells a boyfriend "they need to talk" before delivering some bad news. He laid his head back on the ground again groaning slightly before picking himself up and following the crowd.

He sat behind waiting for the news. "I really don't know any other way of putting this, but my brother is no longer with us. He was killed.. by Hades." To say the least, Ian was stunned. He didn't know Ajax or Alex like that, but to have the knowledge that Hades had been the one to do it worried him. If he was out for the demigods, did that mean anyone else could be the next target? And why was Hades so petty as to go for Zeus' son? Too scared to go for the bug man himself probably. Shaking his head he remained seated for a while while others began to leave. Viviane got up then and tended to him. He grabbed her hand and gave her a reassuring squeeze as she left.

Ian sat there long after everyone had left before he decided to head back to his own cabin. He needed some rest. It was already really dark out and he was really sore from the battle. Treading back to his cabin he just managed to get through the door before collapsing on the couch, not bothering to shut the door. What a day. He honestly didn't know what else to expect from this camp.

Alex: #D63B71 ✦ Teal for thoughts.

Soon as Jenn answered the door, her face alone was enough for Alex to want to tear off her damn head, especially since she was trying to compare Hades to her own father the moment she began to speak. Alex's jaw twisted as she turned her body to the side a little, looking away from Jenn for a moment before swinging her right fist hard into the girls face, and not even bothering to hit her where she requested. Alex stumbled a little with the force of the punch, but she quickly regained her footing, ready to fight more if Jenn wanted that with a death wish. At this current moment in time, Alex was a ticking bomb, and the more angry she got, the more strong the storm inside of her was stirring. Jenn was lucky that Zeus's daughter had even managed to control herself for this long.

"My father is nothing-like-yours.. he wouldn't even involve a child! he'd personally take it up with Hades himself, but of course.. your father is a coward! just like you. You're exactly like him, and I personally only hope one outcome comes out of this war that's coming.. you deserve nothing, just like that cockroach who skulks around in the underworld. Your brother would do better if he disowned himself away from you, and your daddy issues." Alex stepped closer to her now, her eyes dangerously locked on her like a cobra that was about to strike. "You ever! hurt anyone I love and care for again!? I will kill you.." and that, was a promise. Not a threat. "Want to hit me too?" Alex asked her, holding out her arms now as an invitation. "go ahead.. you won't be getting back up for a while if you do."

Jennova stumbled back a step or two after Alex's hand slammed into her face. She brought her hand up to rub the now sore location while chuckling. Of course Alex would slug me somewhere else. Now cue the speech. "My father is nothing-like-yours.. he wouldn't even involve a child! he'd personally take it up with Hades himself, but of course.. your father is a coward! just like you. You're exactly like him, and I personally only hope one outcome comes out of this war that's coming.. you deserve nothing, just like that cockroach who skulks around in the underworld. Your brother would do better if he disowned himself away from you, and your daddy issues."

Jenn rolled her eyes, scoffing. "Don't be so fucking stupid!" She took a step closer to Alex, keeping her own gaze locked on the Zeus child. "If I was a coward I would have ran away the moment I heard you at my door... I am not a coward. I'm a dick!" She motioned to herself while grinning deviously. "You ever! hurt anyone I love and care for again!? I will kill you.." Jennova held up an index finger to counter. "Technically I didn't lay a hand on him... That'd be my father." She cocked her head to the side slightly while shrugging her shoulders.

"Want to hit me too?" Alex asked holding out her arms like an invitation. "go ahead.. you won't be getting back up for a while if you do." Jenn balled her fist, winding it back. She swiftly threw her hand forward but stopped when her knuckles were an inch from Alex's nose. "You know what?... I think I'm good." She made her way around Alex, hurdling the railing of her porch and landing on the ground in front of her cabin. "It'd give you way too much satisfaction if I did." Without another word, she turned down the path and started walking to the main part of camp. She needed to ice her face and wanted to go somewhere that she wouldn't be so easily found.

"I feel like death... But I'll be fine....Thank you." A certain weight lifted from his chest with her assuring response. Granted, it wasn't the best response but at least it was one which showed enough. David nodded in understanding and Andy grabbed his hand so he couldn't leave to get someone more homie for her or qualified. David looked to her hand then back to Andy. "...I don't want to be alone." He caught sight of the desperate plea in her good eye, and sighed out softly. It really would have only taken a few seconds but he couldn't refuse. Instead David gave her a reassuring squeeze back. "Okay."

David sat opposite her and didn't mean to stare but his eyes kept scanning the condition Hades left her in. Besides, he just wanted her awake a few more minutes Before the door swung open and the Valis duo entered. At that, he sighed out. ❝Andy? David... you went back for her?❞ He quickly glanced to Alex then the wall and nodded. Not like Hades would let her just stroll out. Which begged the question...why was it so easy and such a smooth escape? Something was wrong. "Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure the three of you have catching up to do." He smiled tightly to Andy. When he rose to his feet and actually looked at Ajax, something else felt wrong. Other than the miraculous fact that he was still standing compared to when David had last seen him.

David squinted a fraction in concentration. Ajax seemed too collected. But he could have just been waiting until he was gone to swarm Andy with his angry but relieved protective nature then all the affection would pour out.

David left the med hut and headed back for his cabin.

Wes didn't expect anyone's help nor did he plan on going from cabin to cabin trying to find someone who would lend him some place on their floor. It was his dilemma, and he had already planned to seek out a new cabin tomorrow or just make some make shift shelter until he could convince a Hecate kid to build him a new one. It was a relatively decent night, but it was getting a little colder. He had a blanket but it was figuring out if her would lay on it, under it or turn into a pig in a blanket.

Although it would seem that he was just enjoying the view of the stars, his mind was replaying all the events that passed within the last day. So much had happened that it honestly took a lot to let it sink in. Just after he brought his hands from under his head to rub his face, he heard someone clear their throat. Wes didn't move his hands but merely peak between his fingers up at his new company. Once he saw that it was Trinity, he dropped his hands to look up at her with furrowing brows in confusion. "Are you alright? Do you...at least want a pillow or something? Or shelter?"

Wes nearly did a double take at her offer. Out of everyone at camp, she was not the one he expected to be offering him any help. Let alone shelter. At least not after the bombshell he dropped on her earlier at the campfire. Apparently the offer didn't sit well with her either because she bumped her fist to her head shortly after the offer. "I appreciate the offer blondie." And he truly did. He propped himself up on his elbows, while his gaze fell from hers. "But... I don't want to impose or make you uncomfortable." If anyone else would have offered he would have accepted without hesitation. But she wasn't anyone. Wes knew she was offering to be nice, but he didn't want her to feel at all uncomfortable with his presence in his cabin. So even if it sucked for him to sleep outside, he'd do it. That's unless she insisted or was worried.

"Get a life." Alex told her as she walked off towards the main part of camp. Jenn simply rolled her eyes and scoffed. So mature. She was nearly to the mess hall until she came to a complete stop in her tracks as she saw none other than her brother running through camp asking for help, holding someone? She squinted her eyes, gasping when she realized who it was. David is on a roll with counter acting everything I do. Jennova tried to brush it off as she continued to the empty hall, making her way to the kitchen to toss some ice in a baggy and hold to her cheek.

Jennova left the hall once she had everything together. And as always her timing was impeccable because just as she passed the med hut, David came walking out. She pulled the ice pack away to talk to him in passing, "Looks like someone can't stop being a hero today." Jenn raised her ice pack in a salute with a snarky expression on her face before walking past him and heading to her cabin. Once she was inside she locked the door behind her and went over to her bed, collapsing with a sigh.

Andy let out a slight sigh of relief when David squeezed her hand in a reassuring manner before simply saying, "Okay." He moved to sit across from her, and she couldn't help but notice his eyes scanning her. She let out a weak, halfhearted chuckle while smirking slightly. "...I guess I shouldn't ask for a mirror, huh?" Andy was trying to make light of a bad situation, that's just how she was. But thankfully, things could be worse, after all she was alive and back at camp.

"Andy?" Hearing her name, drew her attention to the door to see Alex. "David... you went back for her?" She seemed surprised that he went back for her but honestly in the condition Andy was in she couldn't very well crawl out, let alone walk. Before Andy got a chance to say anything David spoke up, "Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure the three of you have catching up to do." She frowned slightly as he got up, reaching out her hand to stop him but he was out of reach and gone before she could do anything.

Andy looked back to Alex, just now realizing Ajax was with her. She smiled weakly, "You look good... Really good." Last she saw him, he looked like death and now he was walking and standing tall. Andy was a little surprised he seemed so distant, and didn't say anything. But then again... Alex did tell her that he may never forgive her for what she did. But Ajax was alive, so it was worth it.

As she sat there stewing in her own thoughts, she quickly realized Daniel wasn't with them. Strange. Andy would have figured he would have been with Alex or something. But he wasn't there. Did he even know she was gone? Was he ok? "...Where's Daniel?"

"You look good... Really good." Were the words that Andy spoke to her brother, causing Alex to smile to herself as she blended off into the background for a moment, just to give her and Ajax a minute or two to themselves. She remained by the door, leaning her shoulder against the door frame while glancing across the Camp, making sure that she wasn't listening in on their conversation. Hopefully Wes was alright from earlier with the hydra, and from her almost sucking him in with the aftermath of her storm that had raged out of her from being in so much pain. Thankfully she was now okay again, but was everyone else?

Hopefully Daniel was okay too, because she hadn't seen him since she left him and the others with the thought of her brother no longer being with any of them, and left vulnerable with no protection from an offspring of Zeus who had more training than anyone on the camp since he was probably the oldest. But hey, least he's back now... Everyone will be relieved.

Alex folded her arms as she squinted her eyes slightly. She could actually see Trinity with Wes, and then Daniel at his Cabin by the looks of things... and was that Viviane he was talking to? "........"Where's Daniel?" Alex answered her with a quick, "I got it..." while she wandered off towards Daniel, and left Ajax with Andy for now.

She should of thanked David, but she never did with focusing on her anger towards Jenn at that the time. Maybe she'd get a chance to at some point!? or not... David might feel a little uncomfortable as he didn't really seem to be the type of person to bond too closely to others. Still... he had helped them still, even if everything he did was against his own father.

Alex had to respect the guy for that. He was brave, and that was one trait that Zeus offspring's loved about others, and their strength.

She finally made it to where Daniel was. She could of flown all the way over to him just to make it easier for herself, but she decided against it because she wanted to just feel like a normal person for a little while. Hopefully he wouldn't mind her pestering him for a bit. "Daniel, If you're wondering where your sister is? she's at the hut with Ajax." she had a feeling that he'd soon be questioning her about everything, which she wouldn't mind answering. "Mind if I... hangout with you just for a little while?"

He moved a little out of the way for his sister as she headed towards the door, his eyes remaining on Andy who looked in bad shape. "You look good... Really good." he had no memories of what happened before he came back from his little 'Trip', and he had no idea that his soul had been taken away from him. "Thanks? - And you look absolutely terrible.. what happened to you?" that wasn't like him. Yes, Ajax had always been honest and outspoken, but not that much. He didn't care at this point about if his words were going to hurt her, all he cared about!? was getting out of the room and going about the rest of his night. On his own.

If this was the normal him with his soul, he'd of been shouting at her for sure. He wouldn't of wanted her to go to Hades, to sacrifice herself, or any of it... But it happened. Maybe if his soul returns to him then he might just get his memories back, and then he'd probably be upset about Andy putting herself in this situation for him.

"Things can get pretty hectic but never quite so intense and frequent as this year." Daniel admitted. "But hey, at least in compensation we got two more great assets to camp." The corners of her lips curled up into a little smile at what he said. She had been watching every inch of his face while he spoke to her and Viviane, and he was right, because both of the girls did have immense power, and were catastrophic while working together. If they were at their full potential!? they'd most likely be able to cause the end of the world with natural disasters. Daniel had power too though, he could make anything possible with his skills because they were limitless like a warlock/witch, but he was much better than them.

It was starting to get a little cold now, so she hugged herself a little to try and hold in the warmth that she had. It was apparently going to be a warm and sunny day tomorrow, and even though Alex didn't like the heat, but loved the cold, she loved how alive everything looked since coming out of hibernation.

Alex chuckled with a grin, and touched Daniels arms once as she spoke, "You wish. Night, Daniel... sleep well." she winked, and left it at that so Daniel could get to his bed. He definitely looked worn out, but he still looked handsome as ever. That guy could walk through a hedge backwards, and come out the other side still looking like a model. Alex now linked her arm with Viviane for a moment as she steered the girl away from Daniels cabin. "I never got chance to thank you before, Viviane, for helping me... so thank you. Alex stopped once they were on the path away from Daniel's cabin, her arms now wrapping themselves around the girl in a hug.

"Night, babes... hopefully we can hang out a bit more with the other girls." Alex smiled before heading off in the direction to her camp. Hopefully Ajax was already asleep, because with the good mood she was in right now, she'd have a good nights sleeps, and she didn't want her big brother to ruin it... but still, she was glad he was back and alive again.

While laying there in his bed, he heard the front door go downstairs.. probably his little sister coming in for the night. He didn't bother to get up, but any other time he would of been downstairs questioning where she had been at this time, because it was something like midnight almost. "He's upstairs." he heard, causing him to frown before finding his bedroom door opening. He turned onto his back, and found two of his old friends coming through the doorway. One of the girls was the daughter of Athena, and the other a daughter of Aphrodite, but he didn't care about all that. "How can I help you, ladies?" he asked, now propping himself up on the bed as the both of them giggled. "Oh I'm sure you can help us in many ways, handsome. Think you can handle the both of us?" one of them asked, causing Ajax to smirk. "Let's find out shall we? and if not!? I'm more than happy to keep practicing." they both laughed and made their way to him. He began to get undressed as both of them helped each-other. This was going to one night for him to remember, but one to regret once he gets his soul back... if he ever does. He threw his shirt to the ground before cupping both the girls behind the back of their necks, and making out with the both of them.

Morning had soon come, and Ajax was still sound asleep with one girl on each of his arm. Once he woke up from a dream, or what he thought was a dream with Hades taking his soul, He looked at the both of the females before resting back with his eyes on the ceiling. Hopefully his little sister didn't get an ear full of who had stayed over for the night with him. "Wake up... you have to go." he told them eventually after waking himself up a little first. He climbed out of bed, and put some pants on as the girls groaned with having to leave early in the morning at 6:00 am, but he wanted them to be gone. "A night of fiery passion, and now you're kicking us both out? wow.. so generous of you, Ajax."
"I don't care.. hurry up, get dressed, and get out. Now."

They got dressed and headed out of his cabin together with their hair slightly messy still while they carried their shoes to their own cabin which wasn't too far away. "Such a jerk" they were complaining as they wandered through camp. "I know, right? we have fun, and then he blows us off like that. Typical male." they both laughed then went on to agreeing about how they don't need men etc, but no doubt they'd be with another one sooner or later.

Ajax decided to leave his sister to sleep in for a little longer, and headed out once he had put on some clean boxers and clothes on for the day after having a shower. It was a quiet walk down to the camp with birds chirping in the trees, and the sun dazzling across the large lake that could be seen up where his cabin was with Alex. The lake was surrounded by mountains tipped with snow from being so high, and other trees that formed another forest that had the morning mist gliding over the top of the treetops. the air this morning was a mild temperature for now; with fresh, crisp clean air which Ajax inhaled into his lungs deeply. It was damn good to be alive.

He vaulted over a fallen tree which one of the staff members had chopped down for what they had planned later on this afternoon once every Demigod was watered and fed. Ajax wasn't feeling the excitement though, he didn't feel anything at all which didn't worry or confuse him in the slightest because he had no idea what the hell had happened. The new guy who was sitting outside of the dining room hadn't gone unnoticed by the son of Zeus as he wandered closer to the dining hall hut, and he didn't care who's offspring he was at this moment in time. He just wandered past him and the daughter of Hades without giving them even a glance, or a second of his presence.

It was was obvious now that he was hungry, because his stomach was beginning to cook up an Earthquake that rumbled loudly, so he grabbed whatever he liked from each domed plate on the buffet table, and found his seat at the back of the hall so he could be away from everyone else that might head in for breakfast too.

Alex wasn't all that hungry this morning, so she decided to text her brother back to let him know, and headed to the center of the camp where the well was. It was Camp Athens only water supply, but it was clean due to it having filters at the bottom of it, so it wasn't like any other open well. Without heading into the dining room which was close by, Alex picked up the bucket that sat on the edge instead, and filled it up with water before she tipped it up, her face disappearing into it. The water was so cold and fresh, and that was better to quench anyone's thirst.

It had been a pretty peaceful morning until she heard voices outside of the bucket that still covered her face, but they sounded echoed until she drew the bucket back carefully from her mouth, her cheeks bulging out like a chipmunk. She could see Daniel confronting her older brother about something, but when he threw her brother out with his magic skills, Alex quickly placed the bucket down, swallowed the water from her cheeks, and shouted out to them. "Hey!" she rushed over between them, her left hand on her brothers torso, and her right on Daniels to hold them apart. "What the hell is going on? - Daniel?" She asked him mainly and first because he was the one she saw doing the confronting as her brother sat there weirdly calm. "If it's about last night? He's not himself.. I worked that out. This isn't him, you hear me? he'd never hurt Andy or anyone like this. I know my brother better than anyone on this camp. Now back off the both of you.. and calm down. Okay? we can sort this out without fighting each other. We can't afford a war between ourselves."

"They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Mmm..which is delicious by the way." Ajax kept his eyes on Daniel without a single word for now, all the while Daniel was enjoying Ajax's breakfast. "So how was your little threesome that broke my sister's heart in the process?" Ajax frowned at that, "What threesome?" he teased, before growing a grin "Oh, that threesome.. was fun.. loads of--" Ajax cut off, Daniel had thrown him out with his magic, causing Ajax to fly out the open double wooden doors, with his chair, and landed on the grassy area outside as Daniel walked after his skill, flicking up his collar. The chair had flung into the bark of a tree, smashing the legs off of it.

Ajax quickly got to his feet. He hated being caught down on the ground like others hated to be backed up into a corner.

"I was happy to hear you were alive, Ajax. Now not so much. You, somehow make it to the Underworld and back untouched. My sister, meanwhile was stuck in there for you. And the first thing you decide to do after your miraculous recovery is bang two girls whose names you probably don't even know. And you're supposed to be a leader one day. I would rather follow a zombie into battle than even pretend to respect you and your lack of moral code."
"What the hell are you talking about?" before he could say anything else, his little sister was between them, stopping them from maybe tearing each-other apart. What she said was the truth. "He said something about me dying too? I've been here at Camp all along. I went to bed, then woke up. Nothing more, nothing less.. part from those two hot chicks." he shrugged. Alex turned to him then, and swung her palm into the side of his face. She had slapped him. "What the hell was that for?" he asked, cupping his cheek where it stung slightly from the impact. "Don't say another word, AJ... just shut up while I talk to Daniel.." she now turned to Daniel, and smiled weakly as if silently saying sorry to him.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Alert

Viv was nodding off a few times during the conversation. Exhausting was taking over and she really needed some sleep. When Daniel dismissed Alex and her, she almost ran off before Alex linked arms with her and pulled her away. "I never got chance to thank you before, Viviane, for helping me... so thank you. At that Viv smiled back at Zeus' beautiful daughter before the girl hugged her. She embraced her back, "It was my pleasure. I'm always here for help." At the mention of them getting together with the other girls Viv nodded, "I'd like that a lot." With the she said her goodbyes and headed to her cabin.

On her way back however she passed the cabins that belonged to the offspring of Athena and peered into Ian's to see if he was still up. Of course he wasn't though and she laughed to herself at the imagine of Ian passed out on the sofa, huddled in a fetal position. Feeling too tired to go to her own cabin, Viv made herself comfortable on the sofa adjacent to the one Ian was on and felt her self drift to sleep.

When she awoke she looked to Ian to see that he was still sleeping and quietly made her way to the bathroom to shower, stealing one of his shirts to change into. Stepping out she felt like a new person and made her way over to where Ian was still knocked out. "Rise and shine pretty boy. I'm starving and you having nothing in here to eat. Meet me at the kitchens and do us all a favor, shower. You stink," she wrinkled her delicate nose at him and made her way out and to the kitchens.

Grabbing a bowel for cereal she saw a few other camp mates and joined them. "Ajax! Good to see you're back from the Underworld. We need to keep people like you around here." Spooning some cereal into her mouth she looked back up at him, "you got a nice red hand print on your cheek by the way," she mentioned smirking a bit guessing who it was from.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Stunned

Ian awoke with a start. Looking up to find Viviane standing before him wearing his shirt. He had a bunch of questions like what exactly happened last night, why was Viv wearing his shirt, and how did she get in. "Rise and shine pretty boy. I'm starving and you having nothing in here to eat. Meet me at the kitchens and do us all a favor, shower. You stink." Scowling at her, he brought his shirt up to his nose and took a wif. Alright, he had to admit he stunk a little and a shower would definitely benefit him. "Thanks mom, will do."

With Viviane running out, he made his way to the shower and cleaned up. His next priority was food. The noises his stomach was making were getting louder and more frequent. If he didn't get something to eat soon, he'd go on a rampage.

On his way to the kitchens he passed by Jenn and some new guy. "Hey welcome to camp, you missed a hell of a night." With that he looked to Jenn and smiled coyly before turning back and going to his destination. As soon as he walked in, he grabbed a tray of food and went over to where Viv was sitting. "Morning," he announced while shoveling food into his face. He looked up again to really notice who he was with. "Hey! Ajax right! Welcome back! Wasn't sure if I'd see you again."

She tucked in her bottom lip and nodded. Yes, he was still very smooth on his responses. "Well you and your incentive work very well together." She watched him fold his blanket which brought to the attention of his whole cabin crisis. "Hey, Wes, you can bunk here long as it takes by the way. No worries." She assured him softly. But a guy probably liked his own space and privacy and there were other issues to losing a cabin than just sleep. Trinity glanced back into her room. "I don't think I have anything that fits you but I'll get dressed and we can head to the hall...if you like?" she added to make sure he knew she wasn't demanding him. "And maybe you can meet up with someone that has your size?" She suggested.

It probably worked out to be the quickest change of her life and messiest bun so she didn't keep him waiting. Trinity slid to the door gesturing for him to lead the way.

"So you guys-meaning the children of Aphrodite- basically have a natural alluring thing about yous, don't you?" Trinity wondered to put her mind at ease. She had never been overly focused on physical attributes and translated them to attractive before Wesley. But if she had been jinxed by his powers then that explained it and it didn't count. Within seconds the concerned was swept from her mind and she snapped her fingers thinking of another scenario. "Oh! Who would win between succubus and incubi and Aphrodites kids?"

As if she had ADD, her attention shifted again, this time to an alive and breathing Ajax and a defensive Daniel and Alex wedged between them. "What the hell?" She muttered. Trinity squeezed Wes' arm gently. Maybe she didn't want him to rush in between, or maybe she knew this is where Wes' attention would break and she'd see him later. "Sorry," she mumbled and released his arm.

"Well you and your incentive work very well together." Wes smiled to himself as he finished folding the blanket. "Hey, Wes, you can bunk here long as it takes by the way. No worries." He looked up to meet her gaze, "... Are you sure? I really don't wanna impose or be a bother." Trinity looked back towards her room. "I don't think I have anything that fits you but I'll get dressed and we can head to the hall...if you like? And maybe you can meet up with someone that has your size?" Wes chuckled, "I'm 6' 2" with shoulders like a line backer doll. I don't usually fit in most people's clothing."

Wes leaned against the arm rest of the couch, looking down at his hands as he waited for Trinity to change. He couldn't help but chuckle slightly at how quickly she got dressed but even with the messy bun she still looked beautiful to him, but he wasn't going to say anything to make her uncomfortable. She moved to the door and motioned for him to lead the way. Wes set his blanket on her sofa, so if anything he had a reason to stop by later and get it.

"So you guys-meaning the children of Aphrodite- basically have a natural alluring thing about yous, don't you?" Wes glanced himself over, before looking back towards her. "I've heard most Aphrodite kids are generally attractive. We can use our powers or whatever to attract people further or fall in love... But I've never done that. Doesn't sit right with me, making people be attracted to me or fall for me against their will." He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I would never use my abilities against you."

Trinity was definitely on fire this morning, talking more than she ever had with Wes. He didn't know if it was just because she was comfortable around him, curious or just didn't want him to leave but none the less, he humored it. "Oh! Who would win between succubus and incubi and Aphrodites kids?" Wes laughed, "Well if I am correct, succubus and incubus are both sexually driven demons. Succubus is just the female, while incubus is the male. But who would win?" His brows furrowed as he thought. "Probably depends on the sexually orientation of the victim, and how powerful each was. But I'd put my money on them not an Aphrodite kid."

Wes hadn't even realized they reached the main hall until Trinity's attention was drawn to the argument, which quickly drew his own attention. "What the hell?" She said while squeezing his arm. Wes glanced down at her hand, smiling slightly. "Sorry," He reached up his free arm, and was going to place his hand upon hers but she quickly withdrew. Wes didn't leave her side, but only heard parts of the conversation going on before them. But the one piece that particularlly grabbed his attention was something Ajax said. "... I went to bed, then woke up. Nothing more, nothing less.. part from those two hot chicks." Wes inhaled sharply, "Well I know why they're fighting." He looked down at Trinity. Just one sentenced explained more than enough for Wes to imply what happened.

Jennova sipped her juice while watching the male take the flames he was playing with and extinguish them in his cup of coffee. She lifted her sunglasses to rest them on top of her head before rubbing her eyes slightly. "Well, I am new. But I really can't say if you're oblivious or not, I've never talked to you before. I'm Sebastian Owens, apparently the son of Hephaestus. At least biologically." Jenn snorted back a laugh. Either he didn't pick up on her sad excuse of a joke, or his sense of humor was about as exciting as her own. "Jennova Ambers... Daughter of Hades." She wasn't going to elaborate on that. She was increasingly getting on everyone's bad side, so she figured she should keep that part to herself.

Jenn finished her food and juice as Sebastian asked, "So, it looks like some parts of the camp were set on fire. Don't tell me a dragon went on a rampage through here." She smiled slightly while a chuckle escaped her lips. "No dragons in Greek Mythology, at least... Not that I remember." After a moment she glanced up to look at the newbie. "But close... It was a Hydra. Tore through half of the camp, even destroyed one guys cabin."

"Alright." Daniel said in conclusion to her explaining the passing events. "Alright what?" He leaned forward pressing a kiss to Andy's forehead. "I'll be back. Sorry I wasn't there." She didn't like the sound of that. "Wait, Daniel!" Andy hopped up onto her good foot. Daniel stopped in his tracks when he found her crutches. "Forgive me for this..." He said before sending them flying into the lake. He stormed off like he was on a mission while she was left standing there.

Andy could catch up relatively quickly if she could just conjure up a new pair of crutches. But she was lucky she got them out this morning. She closed her eyes focusing as best as she could. But when she opened them 2 pairs of crutches lay on the ground in front of her but the second she tried to use them, they snapped in half. "Dammit..." She groaned, tossing the pieces into the woods. With a deep breath, Andy had no other choice then gimping, limping and hopping her way towards the main hall.

Apparently it was possible for her to be even slower than she was on her crutches, especially when she had to stop every few feet to rest against a tree. "This is going to take all day." She sighed to herself. But when she looked up, she happened to see David walking towards the hall. "David!" Andy called out to him before clumsily hopping towards him. "You don't mind if I borrow your shoulder?" She rested her hand on his shoulder, as she letting out a sigh of relief. "Thanks."

By the looks of things, Andy arrived after her brother threw Ajax out of the main hall. And now Alex had arrived to split it up. "If it's about last night? He's not himself.. I worked that out. This isn't him, you hear me? he'd never hurt Andy or anyone like this. I know my brother better than anyone on this camp. Now back off the both of you.. and calm down. Okay? we can sort this out without fighting each other. We can't afford a war between ourselves." Andy shifted her weight as she leaned against David for support. Her stomach was turning as she watched Ajax being defended by his sister. Andy wasn't herself either after the passing events, but she didn't go sleeping with any guy that looked her way.

"He said something about me dying too? I've been here at Camp all along. I went to bed, then woke up. Nothing more, nothing less.. part from those two hot chicks." Was Ajax's reply. Andy didn't know anything about him dying? But those thoughts were quickly erased by the comment about those two hot chicks. She looked down at the ground, the knot in her stomach returning. "I need food or... It doesn't matter. Andy smiled towards David. "Thanks for letting me use your shoulder." With that, she hobbled her way into the hall but didn't grab a thing to eat. Instead she just took a seat and watched her hands as she twiddled her fingers.

His name was called and soon his shoulder was being used as support for the cripple Andy was. He tried to bare in mind the pace she could keep as they made their way to the central spot in camp just in the nick of time to see events unfold. As easy as that, his problems were pushed aside for now and he wished for a little action and a fight to break out. Ajax was always a bit of a big head and needed to be knocked down time to time just to remind him he wasn't royalty so maybe Daniel would finally give it to him. So David's guilty and evil shades awaited the breakout of a fight.
Alex however was more set on playing peacemaker. Ajax had mentioned something about two hot chicks and David's brows pulled lightly together. His first wonder was how after that, Alex still didn't let the guys fight, then he drew the strings together, taking the quote of Ajax not being himself a lot more seriously. Even if David was in the mood and under the influence of excess alcohol, he wouldn't sleep with two girls...well, definitely not if he had a current crush that fought desperately for his freedom. Finally, David risked a glance to Andy then the scene clearing out.

"I need food or... It doesn't matter. Thanks for letting me use your shoulder." David gave a court nod. But the way she hobbled off awkwardly and after hearing Ajax openly admit to fooling around with two girls he sighed out and joined her. "You know there are other ways to blow off a guy than lie to them after using their shoulder." David told her. He released another little sigh. "If its worth anything I genuinely think something is wrong with Ajax. I can't pinpoint it though. I mean it could be a case of a male ego trip but..." he shook his head softly. "I doubt it."

David changed subject to another pressing matter. "Hey, did uh, anything weird happen to you last night? Like hallucinations or a surge of pain or anything?"

#8b9068 || Outfit

Alex had parted him from her brother rambling on about how he wasn't himself and spoke as if he wasn't there. Daniel brushed her hand off him and rolled his neck around in agitation. The more she tried to defend her brothers corner in her weird fashion, the more annoyed he got. Daniel couldn't see the justification in it. "Now back off the both of you.. and calm down. Okay? we can sort this out without fighting each other. We can't afford a war between ourselves.""You're right, we should hold hands and make daisy chains and talk about our feelings instead. I'm sure that'll be really effective." Alex didn't deserve to be snapped at, and he wasn't snapping at her as much as he was having another snap at the unreachable AJ.
Alex had turned and slapped her brother for talking garbage in which he found new respect for her. Maybe she wasn't entirely on his side. She turned to Daniel then and smiled an apologetic smile. Daniel was in condition to return it. He watched Ajax among Viviane and Ian. "I should send a damn zombie herd after him. Just at the idea phase though," he explained quickly to Alex before she could assume he'd actually send them after him. Other than Ajax's lack of class, and the dealings with that, it could have the potential to make a peaceful morning. And most demigods needed the break from danger when they could get it.

"You're right, we should hold hands and make daisy chains and talk about our feelings instead. I'm sure that'll be really effective." Alex knew that he didn't mean to snap at her, he was just being protective brother to Andy like Ajax would be for her. "Just take a look at him though, Daniel... can you honestly say that he looks himself? something happened in the underworld to him.. I'm pretty sure of it. I'm not happy with what he's done to your sister, but it's not him. I promise."

"I should send a damn zombie herd after him. Just at the idea phase though," Alex let out a gentle sigh and glanced over her shoulder as her brother wandered on over to Ian and Viviane. They were really happy to see Ajax. Alex folded her arms gently, and scanned the others who were watching the scene play out infront of them, especially David and Andy too who was finding it difficult to walk. "Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked that because she didn't want two men she cared about to hurt each other. "I don't want something bad to happen to you, or him."

Ajax had been listening for a least a couple of seconds to Daniel and his sister with his cheek still red, so before he could get another!? he wandered on over to Ian and Viviane.

"Ajax! Good to see you're back from the Underworld. We need to keep people like you around here. You got a nice red hand print on your cheek by the way, He grinned. "Thanks, Viv.. and yeah... perks of having a little sister like Alex." he chuckled. "Hey! Ajax right! Welcome back! Wasn't sure if I'd see you again."
Ajax had no idea why they were talking about the underworld, but he figured he'd play along a little anyway. "Thanks, man.. can't get rid of a legend, huh?" he winked before grabbing fresh food since Daniel had ate the last serving of his.

What exactly did happen in the underworld? so according to Daniel he had died, then some how recovered over night!? if it's true, then.. how is that even possible? "Did I miss anything while I was gone?" he asked both Viviane and Ian, "Because I always tend to miss the adventurous parts. Totally sucks." He sat down with his food now, stuffing his face with each mouthful of cereal. Cinnamon Squares... delicious.

"I'm sorry... Just figured you didn't want to hear about my problems." David almost interrupted quickly that he didn't. He already knew what they were, so he wasn't sitting by her for a talk and repeat of events for her to rant on and on about even when she had good reason to. He was there to keep her general company and maybe he was a little sympathetic towards what she had to endure. But he didn't say anything. The last thing she needed was a jerk sitting across from her. "You're probably right...Still doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though." He would imagine so. "Yeah it stings. But there are worse heartaches to endure." He wasn't trying to make her feel as if she was fortunate or better off or depress her, what Ajax did had stung and ached, but death could rarely be redeemed. That's when all the lights went out.

As if having something to hide, he looked around over his shoulder before Andy answered him. "I had a crazy realistic nightmare... Of me being tortured. I barely got any sleep." That was to be expected. Unpleasant but normal after what she encountered. "Why?... Did you have a hallucination?" She asked back. The question caught him off guard and like a defence mechanism replied with a scoff, "No." Which was technically true. Stephanie wasn't a hallucination as much as she was summoned from death by Hades, temporarily returned and taken again. "These are just routine questions on your well being, Andy. And you probably got a few sleepless nights to endure yet." David told her. He was glad she didn't have to experience any extra extra stress from current injuries, haunting memories and vivid nightmares.

Un-amused by his zombie threat on Ajax, Alex sighed out then continued. "Is there anything I can do for you? I don't want something bad to happen to you, or him." For a hydra slayer, she was all moosh when it came to people she cared about. "Nothing bad will happen to me or him." He assured. "But jumping back to if you can do anything for me..." The trickster in him was awoken once again. "I missed my morning workout hunting your brother down for not keeping his parts to himself and hurting my sister in the process. So you can start by joining me on a run. Zombies may or may not be included, we'll see how we go." Daniel smirked.
Sure it was important to keep their powers in check, but equally as important their bodies were functioning at a healthy state too. "Besides, I may or may not have thrown my sister's crutches away from her. So I'm gonna steer clear for a bit." A practical jokester such as Daniel particularly had to stay sharp.

Alex knew very little about the type of guy Daniel was in the sense of his hobbies, likes, and dislikes.. but she knew about the trickster side of him that he no doubt got from his mother. His reassurance that nothing would happen to him, or to her brother made her sigh once more, but this time with relief. She cared about the both of them, and there was no way she was going to step out of the way to let the both of them battle to the death. They'd have to get passed her first, and that would be a difficult task since the little Brunette was more stubborn than a bull. "But jumping back to if you can do anything for me..." she could feel that something mischievous was heading her way. That's what she liked most about Daniel though, because he wasn't predictable, he always gave her surprises, yet still remained mysterious. The look on that handsome face of his had her heart almost skipping beats as always.. damn him and his charm, she thought to herself quietly as she waited for him to continue with what was brewing in that intelligent head of his.

She raised her brows, and folded her arms gently. He had thrown his sisters crutches in the lake? "Seriously?" she shook her head and laughed, "Daniel, that's mean.. now I can definitely see why you want to avoid her for a little while.. but Zombies huh?" she chuckled as she witnessed that gorgeous smirk of his. How was it that he was able to make her feel the way she was feeling by not doing a thing towards her intentionally? "Is that all?" she teased. Zombies were a challenge even if they were going to be chasing demigods instead of humans.

"You do remember I can run as fast as lightning, right?" she winked. She hoped he wouldn't turn the run down now though since she said that, because she could do with a workout for the morning. "Can we call into my cabin first though? I need to change into something more.. running worthy. I won't take forever.. I promise." she added that to the end of what she was saying, because she knew how long other girls took to get ready, but not Alex.

Ajax listened to both Viv and Ian, and he could tell they were both happy to see him, but Ajax had no idea what had happened. To him, he had never even left camp because the last memory he had!? was laying in bed with his eyes closed, and slipping into an unconscious state.

He was about to reply to Viv, but Ian came in with his own version of what had happened at the camp since his 'Disappearance' "That's one way to put it. It was kind of insane. This huge ugly hydra came storming into camp trying to destroy anything and everything. I got thrown around and your sister came in like a storm and her and Viviane fried the hydra like it was a french fry." That made the son of Zeus laugh. Normally, he would of been impressed, but also feeling slightly annoyed that his little sister but herself in harms way, and Viviane, but today!? he didn't really care about anything, not even the now fried hydra.

"I'm still confused about how every monster manages to worm its way in passed our invincible barrier.. unless someone inside is a rat.." Ajax thought out loud, but also directing it towards both Ian, and Viv. He wasn't saying they were the rats, but making sure they knew he was talking to them still and not to himself. His attention then looked towards the new comer. Sebastian. "New to the Camp?" he asked Ian and Viv after motioning his head towards the guy with a nod. It looked like he was on his way towards his cabin. Did Jenn bore him to death with her depressing emo type presence? Ajax smirked. More than likely.

"Yeah..." he dragged on. The thing about him was he didn't work by a girl's clock of later or in Alex's specific case, get changed into something more run worthy. Daniel was a man of action and occasionally plot when required but this wasn't one of those instances. He wasn't exactly in run gear either.

Initially zombies were a big might but just for some inspiration, he summoned one nearby Alex, that almost clawed at her arm. "An apocalypse doesn't wait." It was time to put that apparent running as fast as lightning statement to action. Hermes kids had super speed, and Ares' were fast, he doubted Zeus' kids could run as quick as them with their feet on the ground. "Starting now!" He waved a hand about, summoning a spread out herd. "I'll be right behind you, Al!" He called, a wicked grin spreading across his features all the while the closest zombie still chased her for being the closest piece of uninfected flesh.

Daniel gave one last glance back to the hall and Ajax. This would have concerned him normally but he was busy taunting Jenn, judged by the cocky smirk he wore. Daniel got a good walk to him leaving the hall and all the drama behind, then broke into a jog and gradual run to catch up to Alex.

"Yeahhh.." Daniel dragged out his answer. Alex knew now that he wasn't the patient type, especially when it came to things like sparring, and other energetic activities that even Alex loved. It was a good way to eliminate any negative emotions... especially stress.

Before she could say anything else, she heard a sudden low murmured groan, followed by a growl which caused her to snap her attention to the zombie that Daniel had conjured close to her. With it's arms out stretched in front of itself, the zombie stumbled slowly across the ground, scraping its footing against the Earth. As it tried to get closer to Alex, it opened its mouth, displaying all rotten teeth that were still decaying so it's breath wasn't pleasant at all. It wouldn't of mattered if it did come in contact with her anyway, because they were just illusions after all, and therefore there was nothing to be concerned about as far as Virus's go. "Damn you, Daniel!" she laughed, and kicked the zombie back with her foot, making sure her boot came into contact with Zombie's gut. The reanimated corpse flew back before crashing to the ground, then slowly began to rise up again to it's feet. Alex shook her head. "When will you--" she cut off after his next words "starting now!" her eyes now took in a sudden horde of zombies heading right for them. She wasn't sure on how many heads were emerging from the tree line, but there were a lot. "God-damn-it!" she jokingly narrowed her eyes on Daniel before running off into the woods that were the other side to where the Zombies were. She was hoping that the obstacles of trees would slow their asses down even more.

She could of easily taken to the skies, but where was the fun in that? no, she had to keep this as human as possible. No powers included.

She had to admit, if she wasn't a demigod, or Zeus's daughter with a talent for bravery!? she'd of been completely terrified at just the sounds they made from their reanimated throats of death. They smelled real though, because the smell of rotting flesh had burnt her nose, causing her to almost throw up. Their rotting skin was either missing, or peeling off as they decayed even more as time went by. Their undead soulless eyes were fixated on Alex at first, but with her getting a slight head start away from them, they turned their attention briefly to Daniel who was giving a once back glance to where Ajax and the others were. "I'll be right behind you, Al!" he had shouted, but Alex had gotten quite a decent distance away from the start already, but he'd be able to catch up to her, because she was much faster by air. On foot.. not so much, but that didn't mean she was slow.

This was going to be one experience that she wouldn't forget, but she enjoyed it because it kept them on their toes. Daniel's magic was amazing in Alex's eyes, because he could do absolutely anything he wanted, and all Alex could do!? was manipulate the weather, and launch dangerous lightning bolts from the skies, or from her hands. She did like her own powers, and she was never greedy for more, but others powers did interest her like History/science would to a history/philosophical buff. She glanced back over her shoulder after vaulting over a fallen down tree that was in-front of her. She was looking for Daniel, but she couldn't see him just yet. Hopefully he wasn't going to leave her to do this run on her own.

He couldn't take off as epic like as he wanted, as he was busy double over laughing watching Alex high tale it from the zoms. In his own opinion he had one of the most entertaining and appealing powers. Anyone could ask him and he'd even say so. It was good to change the pace of the day and have a great/intense distraction as zombies. Daniel bolted when he saw them run for him. He was taking a parallel course to Alex's in the forest, and when he felt he had shaken them off, he ran for her from the side. Daniel slowed to a jog, still laughing like a mad man as he approached her. Both his hands landed on her arms. "Aahh. I love this." When he heard a chorus of groans, he looked to them, laughed once more then returned his gaze to Alex with a grin. Daniel kissed her quickly. While he was aiming for theatrics, and kissing her at an inappropriate time like they did in any movie ever, Alex probably took it a little more deep than that.

But he kept his playful grin. "We're gonna do a whole lap. Outskirts of camp, okay?" Daniel took off again, weaving through the tree lines like the forest was his playground.
A small group ambushed him from his side, behind a large tree trunk and bit into his arm. "Owhaha. Fuck!” Being bitten wasn’t just scary but it hurt like a bitch. "Don’t get bitten! It hurts!” His voice traveled through the forest, then expelled the close ranged zoms.

Daniel ran the perimeter of camp, with a little bit of huffing and puffing going and threw off his button up shirt as little beads of sweat started to form on his body. For a fair distant run, Daniel had a fast pace on him. But he had reason and purpose to. One underestimating stunt was enough for him to learn a lesson. Sure, zombies weren't much for speed but they had a pack. Daniel ran like it was a game of pony express when zombies came at him and he was surprised in himself at how agile he was as he zagged through a horde when it occurred.

By the time he got to the clearing where they had began, he was well and truly sweating, red and panting. Daniel looked around waiting for which angle Alex would come from. And he hoped, she was having fun, though Daniel could just as easily be perceived as a psycho or incredibly unhinged. Aiming for theatrics again, he whipped up a mock fortress and leaned against the stone. Not to mention, give his muscles a break.

While still running, she began to slow down a little now that she knew the zombies had a fair distance away from her, and she could see Daniel now catching up in no time. Was he laughing? the 'little' shit found it funny, and she could tell this was fun to him, and exciting him. Alex had to admit, it was pretty awesome to give them some motivation for a morning run. Another good point to being an offspring of Hecate. Props to their mom. "Aahh. I love this."

"Yeah, super.." Alex breathed heavily. She was still a little out of breath at this point, but it wasn't too bad, especially when Daniel did what he did. She wasn't sure if he meant it as an actual kiss, or just one of those quick kisses you give someone out of excitement, or as a thank you. Still, Alex loved the feel of his lips briefly touching her own.

One way to confuse a girl though, because they were kind of training themselves more endurance, and here this kiss was clouding some of her thoughts within those split couple of seconds: Get your head back on Earth, and not in the clouds.. we got to make sure we can get passed this little Zombie trial. It's fun, so stop thinking about one guy. she thought, but the look she gave him.

Zombies or no Zombies, she wanted to kiss him right back, but this time!? she wanted to make sure it lasted much longer. Eh, she knew that he wasn't trying to distract her.. he was just cute and excitable. Probably didn't really mean anything to him. It wasn't like it meant a whole deal to her, but she did think that it was sweet, even in their current position. It would of been more appropriate in a real apocalypse though, because what if one of them didn't even make it!?

"We're gonna do a whole lap. Outskirts of camp, okay?" Before she could say anything about it, he took off again after they heard the groaning from the zombies. They were clearly catching up. She looked to where they were so she could judge the time they had to run again, and they honestly weren't that far off. "You have got to be kidding me." she bit her lip and laughed before running herself, and just in time to see Daniel get bitten. She almost panicked as she forgot for a second that they were not really there, but the sight of it was very much real, and by the sound of it!? it still hurt. "Owhaha. Fuck!” He had shouted out first, and that was when Alex's heart had jumped into her mouth, "Don't get bitten! it hurts" Alex sighed with relief when he kept running, and she almost got bit herself, but managed to dodge it, causing it to miss her entirely before chomping it's teeth into thick bark on the tree. It was stuck. Alex was laughing. Such dangerous predators, yet dumb as fuck.

She took every step with pride, because she hadn't done workouts like this for a long time, so it was nice of Daniel to at least motivate the both of them at the same time, even it was to mainly avoid his sister for a little while, and a perfect opportunity for Alex and Daniel to bond a little more. Once racing out of the tree line after she was certain she had lost the straddlers from the horde, Alex could see Daniels amazing muscular frame in that tank top of his while leaning against some stone walled fortress. Wow.

Now she was really out of breath from their entire lap of the camp, and dodging teeth that could literally rip your face off. Alex gulped for air. Her throat was dry while leaning over to catch her breath, her lungs burning to desperately have the air fill her lungs again. She didn't feel light headed or anything though, so that was good. "How is it that after that Adrenalin pumping run, you're managing to stand there looking like a God?" she laughed breathlessly, her hands resting on her knees as she dropped her head down to slow down her breathing. "I swear.. if round two comes out of your mouth!? I will kick your ass." she joked, and straightened up now with a smile. "Can tell and see you're in fantastic shape. Did you work out a lot at home?" She asked, wiping the back of her hand across her forward before making her way to him to sit herself down on the boulder beside where he was leaning. She couldn't help but have her eyes wander over where his skin was exposed, especially his muscular torso that was kind of visible through his top with a six pack. Her breath was a little uneven, and she could of sworn she was about to blush. He was the perfect size, because Alex hated men who made themselves look like hulk with tiny heads. Yuck!

Ajax didn't give Viv or Ian an explanation as to why he just wandered off away from them, he just left without a single word. Once outside of the kitchen, he looked up to the sky. He could of swore he heard a rumble of thunder, but there was no signs of dark clouds rolling in with heavy rain. It was completely clear. Maybe he was hearing things!? Ajax carried on to walk, but this time he headed on over to Wes and Trinity. He caught what they were talking about, so no doubt the hydra he had missed had taken everything that Wes owned. "Please tell me that being half naked isn't a new trend to the children of Aphrodite." he teased before taking the map for himself and looking at it. "Hmm.." once he quickly scanned it, he handed it back and took a seat with them before winking at Trinity. A smirk was growing across his features as he couldn't contain what was about to fly out of his mouth. He hadn't noticed before, but Trinity was actually a good looking gal. For a blonde. Yep, Ajax was a sucker for brunettes, but Trinity had changed his mind. For now at least.

"Hey, beautiful.. You know, you ought to ditch cupid here, and go out with a real man that can really turn your world upside down.." and he would too. "And trust me, sweetheart.. I can prove it in more ways than one." he knew Wes was still there, but did he care!? nope. Ajax's mind was set on one thing, and one thing only. With his hand under the table, long tanned fingers began to slowly move up Trinity's leg, his eyes locked on hers. He could remember the shape of her ass he was checking out before when she first came into the kitchen, and remembered feeling more than satisfied at what she had stored away under her layers. "You want get out of here for a little while?"

Daniel fanned himself mockingly as Alex drilled in the compliments with her up-front words and not so subtle way she eyed him. He laughed to himself lightly then tended to an answer. "Yeah, I run a little but it's never to get in shape as much as it is a necessity at home. Here, I just do it to look good and pick up chicks. I know how much they love zombie simulations. It's practically a mating call." Daniel grinned then rolled out his neck, looking over Alex. "You okay? You don't have asthma or anything?" He asked towards Alex's uneven breathing.

Someone squealed in the distance followed by a guy's "What the fuck!?" alarmed shout out. The couple came out from the woods area, sprinting out hand in hand. Daniel chuckled and looked down on Alex. "Moral of the story, don't go to the woods to make out. Will teens ever learn? Sorry!" He shouted the last part to them then waved a hand in the air to end the illusion. Naturally he received a few dirty looks but nothing that rattled him or made him guilty or inflict any kind of regret on him. Daniel was, for the most part, shameless. "Looks like you're hanging with the wrong crowd by default." Sure Daniel was known as a trickster, prankster, little shit and recently Loki but Alex had her whole popularity ahead of her.

Thoughts: #FF0000|Speech: #CC0000
Location: Her Cabin --> Forest --> Main Hall Kitchen
Interacting With: Seraphina Antoniou and Ilias Antoniou
Outfit||Knife
Somehow Melissa made it to her cabin and shoved herself through the door. Struggling to keep all three of her dogs from running outside or jumping up on her she slammed the door closed, causing the dogs to pause in their excited jumping and worried licks and growls. With a sigh Melissa made her way over to her bed, stripping as she went, though her shorts caused her some trouble. Moments later she collapsed onto her bed and slipped into unconsciousness instantly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the sun shone outside Melissa's cabin was still cloaked in shadows, inside and out. The placement of Mel's cabin, in the same area as Hades' Cabins, had been chosen specifically for the way the forest floor was still covered in darkness even when the sun was high in the sky and it's distance from all the others. Despite this Melissa's nightmares woke her mid-morning, causing her to cry out and sit up quickly. Shadow, the calmest of her dogs, settled at her side and pressed against her legs while Demon, the only puppy in the group, leapt at her to like her face. At the sight of her dogs, Rage giving Demon a wary glance from the sofa across the room before laying his head back down, Melissa immediately calmed. Knowing she had already slept more then she usually did in a week, Melissa dragged herself out of bed and into the shower. Careful to keep her injured arm as dry as possible Mel was finished in less than ten minutes. Drying her hair, she noticed with a sigh that her leg was bleeding again. Grabbing a jar from her kitchen cabinet Melissa smeared a salve onto the wound given to her by an Apollo kid forever ago for a sword injury. Re-wrapping her leg and pulling on some clothes she tested putting her weight on her leg. Though a twinge of pain went through her body it was tolerable.

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to work out today, and therefore wouldn’t be able to put her weapon in her workout bag, Melissa strapped it onto her thigh. Letting out two low pitched whistles, Demon and Shadow both padded back towards Melissa’s bedroom while Rage followed after her. Heading out the door and into the woods, in the direction of the main trail. About five minutes later, only halfway to the path that led to the main hall, Melissa looked wide-eyed at a literal zombie. While it was obvious that wierd things were going to happen at a camp for Demi-Gods, something she had learned over the years, never before had zombies been a possible thing. Walking both towards and past the zombie out of the corner of her eye Melissa spotted Daniel and Alex. Immediatly understanding the situation Melissa corrected her direction to head back towards the main trail and clicked her tongue, regaining the attention of Rage, who had been stalking the zombie while growling softly.

Finally reaching the trail a few minutes later Melissa headed towards the main hall, not bothering to pay attention to the people around her. While Rage was her newest dog, due to an incident with one of the Artemis kids who lived in camp year-round, his aggresive tempermant was well known and therefore people kept their distance. Reaching the main hall, Mel entered and went straight into the kitchen without saying a word to anyone. As she walked in Melissa noticed Sera and her son, Ilias, both in the room as well. Giving Sera a silent wave and Ilias a kind smile, she went straight to the fridge and pulled out the leftover grilled chicken and fruit salad from the night before. After serving herself some of the fruit salad she turned to watch Sera hand Ilias an apple. After a moment watching the two the blonde sighed and threw her hair up in a ponytail. “Sera I’m going to train on my own for the next few days. I might come around for dinner but otherwise I’ll be in my cabin or at the gym. If you need any help in here just stop by and tell me. To make up for me being gone I’ve got lunch for today covered, go spend some quality time with your son after training.” Throwing all the leftover chicken in the oven Melissa pulled more raw chicken out of the fridge. Glancing at the window that looked out into the dining room Melissa hesitated a moment before shaking her head and walking past it. Grabbing a cutting board and a knife she started cutting up the raw meat, making quick work out of the task.

This guy.. it has to be illegal to be as good looking as he is. His smile was gorgeous, his features were perfect, his personality was fascinating, fun, and his voice captivated her along with those beautiful eyes of his. She silently let out a sigh, making sure it wasn't noticeable, or heard while listening closely to his answer. "Yeah, I run a little but it's never to get in shape as much as it is a necessity at home. Here, I just do it to look good and pick up chicks. Alex chuckled and rolls her eyes. I know how much they love zombie simulations. It's practically a mating call." Daniel grinned, causing Alex to smile as he rolled out his neck, looking over Alex. "You okay? You don't have asthma or anything?" she shook her head.

"No, I'm good.. thank you. No asthma here.. I hope. I'm just... never mind." she decided to keep her thoughts to herself for the time being, because telling a guy how she truly felt was never a good idea, especially since she hadn't been around as long as he had. Hopefully he didn't see her as the clingy, sensitive type, because she was neither one of those. Just... when it came to liking a guy!? especially Daniel.. she felt soft towards him. Everyone knows that an offspring to Zeus isn't weak physically, or mentally... but Daniel for some reason was her weakness.

When someone squealed in the distance, followed by a guy's "What the fuck!?" Alex quickly glanced in that direction. A couple came out from the woods area, sprinting out hand in hand. Daniel chuckled, and Alex laughed so hard, tears were streaming from her eyes. Poor guys. "Moral of the story, Alex looked to Daniel don't go to the woods to make out. Alex smirked. Will teens ever learn? Sorry!" he called out the last word to them, making Alex laugh again. The looks he got from that couple didn't bother him as he got rid of the zombies, then spoke to Alex again as the couple went to find somewhere else to be away from the son of Hecate. "Looks like you're hanging with the wrong crowd by default." She shook her head, "No.. I'll be the judge of that. Daniel, you might be a Trickster, the son of Hecate, and anything else you and others want to label yourself with.. but you're not beneath me. Non of you are. So what if my Father is a King.. I don't even think he would put himself above others either. We're equals."

“Seriously?” Ajax hadn't flinched when Trinity kicked him, but he knew it happened because he felt it, and her warning look said it all.. but all he could do was smirk even more. Ajax was taking it as she was playing hard to get, and he loved it. “Actually, yeah. Let's take a walk.” Ajax looked to Wes as he got up to head out with Trinity, a proud smile on his face. He gave cupid a wink before following Trinity outside. Wes had been trying his best to impress the blonde, and only took Ajax about a minute to work his charm.. or so he thought at least.

Once they were outside, she had put her palm to her forehead and exhaled slowly. “Please, please, tell me you're not for real.” What happened next!? wasn't something that Ajax was ready for. Trinity spun to Ajax, and hit him. SMACK! her hand came right into contact with his face, leaving a red mark on his cheek.“What are you doing!?” she asked as Ajax stood there. "Flirting.. I thought that was pretty obvious?" he smiled. "Let me show you I meant what I said in there.." He stepped carefully closer to her with caution, and his eyes remaining on hers with him looking down to her height. His hands took her hips, and pulled her in closer to jokingly make it awkward for her with her close to his body that was his temple. He worked out religiously.

And there it was. Sulking, plotting and targeting the weak.

"I mean there's one person I could think of... But that kinda goes against ethics. Well that and he's immortal." Even though David was part of the Hades torture train now, his lips twitched up to one side unable to help but feel a certain defensiveness towards his dad. "...Sorry." Andy added. "I'm sure you're not the only person to wish it." He replied. Plus, it only meant he wasn't the worse in his choice of joke.

"I've been here one day... I hardly think I'm qualified to answer on behalf of everyone here." Made sense. But she was the curious cat that wanted to know what he did simply because he wasn't among the group in the day she'd been at Camp Athens. "Yesterday I trained with my brother for a bit, hung out with..." she decided not to finish it which said enough. Ajax and they probably bonded some more and it was all very sweet and romantic but now he was a dick. Little semi greek tragedy going on for her there.

"Then there was the campfire. Oh yeah... And I rapped." The thought of a little caucasian girl rapping outside of the industry was odd and amusing making David laugh again. "That must have been terrible." He stated while chuckling. "But boy, have you been busy for a newbie. Within like a day or so at being in Camp you've experienced...what's the phrase? A rollercoaster? Emotionally. Physically. Eventfully."

#8b9068 || Outfit

Daniel nodded because he completely agreed. They were all on the same bar in this camp and they all needed work on their powers. Therefore, equals. "Yeah, except Zeus kind of strikes me as a little too alphaish." He admitted. Of course he had never actually met the guy in person and these were just based on stories. "But I guess you'd have to be to keep Olympus in order and other gods." Daniel murmured. At the same time he didn't doubt that Zeus would help his fellow gods in critical moments. Demi-Gods however...They'd battled a minotaur and hydra alone. He wasn't complaining just surprised he'd endanger the next-gen.

"Do you know him well?" Daniel gestured off so they could walk and talk. "And does that make you or Ajax next in royalty line?"

Alex laughed. She could see why Daniel and the others would think of him in that way, but he definitely had to be as it's his job to protect everyone else. Zeus had not once thought he was better than others, even if he was the most powerful God of Mount Olympus. "Is that what people think? but you're right, Dan, they all look up to him so he has to be." that was like the Demigods at their camp who looked up to Ajax. Well, not all of them anyway. A couple didn't like him much, especially the daughter of Hades... Jenn Ambers. She was basically the Camps biggest bitch who never cares about anyone besides herself.

"Do you know him well? and does that make you or Ajax next in royalty line?" She began to walk with him.

Alex didn't know her father like other teens knew their fathers, but she was getting used to it. "Only from what is documented in my Greek book of Lores," she told him honestly with a gentle voice. "My father was never able to visit. With Ajax being the eldest, he will be next unless he decides he doesn't want to, but.." there was always a but, "I heard the throne of mount Olympus is made of pure solid gold, and only allows the worthy ones to rule." she wasn't saying her father wasn't worthy, or Ajax, but the throne might decide against her brother's reign. "Ajax told me about it during bedtime stories."

Alex understood that well enough, because why would anyone want to read about someone's father who had no importance to them in general? she wasn't even sure if the throne existed anyway, but with luck it did because it would protect Mount Olympus from its enemies surely. "So do you think Ajax would ever forfeit the throne?" it was possible, especially since Ajax had never wanted a damn thing from Zeus since he abandoned him and Alex.

He didn't want hand-me-downs, or freebies.. he just wanted his father to be there for him. Constantly. "The chances are 50/50. I don't think my brother wants gifts from dad because he feels as though it's a poor excuse for sucking up about not being around." Alex sighed. She never wanted her brother to hate their Father because she knew why he hadn't been showing up as much as he wanted to. "My brothers blinded by hate and no excuse from dad with suffice without him proving his word." and that would be a tough challenge since Zeus and Ajax were equal when it came to being stubborn. Maybe Alex could some day set up a day for just Ajax, herself, and Zeus. now that would be a story to tell because there would be so much tension in the air you'd be able to cut through it like a knife through butter.

Just as she was about to say something else, she heard the skies above their heads rumbling after a few strikes of lightening, then a bolt of it rushing to the ground like a meteor. Talk about luck.. this was her chance to get her time with him. Hopefully. Had both of them jinxed his visit to their camp? Alex quickly looked to Daniel with excitement, and he smiled. "You got a date with your dad." Alex squealed almost as she skipped up to Daniel and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for the morning run, Daniel.. maybe we can do it again some time. I had fun. Big time!" she giggled softly as she took his hand gently, squeezed it a little with a smile before excitedly running off towards her fathers direction. Daniel's company had been one of the best mornings here so far, but she didn't want to miss her fathers visit. Were the other Gods coming too? surely they'd want to be with their children, but then again... some had to stay back to keep Mount Olympus guarded.

Straight away the man had addressed the others before his own children, because he was making his way towards the son of Hades while Alex was just making her appearence, but Ajax walked up to her to stop her from making her way over to Zeus for a minute. "Whats he got against me?" Ajax asked, "Because the look he gave towards me wasn't exactly an exchange of love" now Alex knew her brother definitely wasn't himself. Alex took her eyes off their father, now looking to Ajax who had stopped her within her tracks, her hair falling around her shoulders. "He's just concerned about you.. he doesn't hate you. It's you who hates him." Alex wandered around Ajax and stood next to her best friend Wes, and his girl Trinity. Her hands were in her lap, and her eyes excitely watching her father as she was practically almost jumping in the air. She was so happy as she waited for him to be done with David. She was ready to run into his arms.

Ajax couldn't believe how his sister was acting. How could she be happy to see someone who didn't want to give up his throne to be with his kids? he didn't look back once as he headed to the staff cabin to see what activites they had in store for the camp. John, who was just a mortal working for Sera with the other staff members, had given Ajax the controls to the Camps Talon system. "Just announce todays events, and we'll do the rest." he lightly ordered, then wandered off outside for a cigarette break. Ajax held the speaker in his hand, staring at it a first, but soon cleared his throat to speak. With his thumb pressing the button on the side inwards, the talons around the Camp screeched a little to life. "All activities will be taking place today after lunch. Head to the hall for a list of where these activities are taking place, and team up with others to complete each one that you choose to do. Remember.. team work." Hopefully that was enough.

Ares had even turned up, but had been half way through his own training before he came down to Earth after Zeus. He wanted to see the Camp for himself. It hadn't changed at all, not one single bit since they built it from the stones of Athens.When the talons came on, Ares looked to the speaker closet to him, but carried on walking until the back of his daughters were in view. A smile instantly appeared on his face. His eldest had grown so much, but he wasn't too keen on Aphrodites son being so close to his little girl. Hopefully he was different, because his mother seemed to have a collection of mortal men like trophies almost.

"Trinity..." He called out to her in a low, gritty voice. "Come here, let me look at how much you have grown." Alex felt bad now for being excited as she looked around at everyone else. There were a few hopefully looking Demigods who were really hoping to see their own parents. Her brows furrowed as she stepped back a little, bumping lightly into Ares who held her steady with a smile before carrying on towards his daughter. Wow, Trinity's dad was in good shape. Duh, God of war.. of course he would be.

Zeus could tell that David was feeling guilty, and maybe a little afraid about something, and also Zeus's presense.. or maybe that he thought he was in trouble for allowing his father to take Zeus's child in the first place, but honestly!? Zeus did not blame David for being his fathers son. He could tell that the boy loved his father deeply, but was compelled and pulled towards his friends. "I believe you are the hero who rescued both Ajax, and Andy from the underworld. You didn't have to go against your father, but you did.. and for that? I thank you. I grant you one wish, David.. son of Hades." he could make quite a lot happen, but probably not exactly what David would want most. His girlfriend.

Trinity knelt down to help Wes collect the things he dropped in his fit of rage. “Thank you Mr White Knight.” The non Ken-doll nickname made him look over towards her. “But I had it all under control.” Wes broke his gaze as he moved to his feet, extending at hand down towards her to help her up. "I know you did... But I couldn't stand back and watch you get treated like that." He adjusted his things in his arms. "Even if that meant getting my ass kicked by a Zeus kid."

Wes raised a brow when it seemed as if she was going to say something then stopped. But not much later she spoke up, no doubt something different than she originally intended. “So you can face the son of Zeus, but not Jason?” He dropped his things to the ground once again to hold up an interjecting finger. "Hold up now little miss." He then placed his hands on his hips. "Did I, or did I not come barging into your cabin when I heard the... struggle." He waved his hand nonchalantly. "He disappeared before I could do anything, thank you very much." Wes then leaned towards her, adding a final comment. "And... I helped with a Hydra... well like a tiny bit, but still." He chuckled.

With the arrival of Zeus and the passing events, Trinity must have been overwhelmed or something. Because then her forehead moved to rest upon his shoulder. He glanced over at her, letting out a soft chuckle. “Chance of Ares and Aphrodite showing?” Wes pursed his lips thinking, "Well Aphrodite was never part of my life until she told me to come here. But your-" He paused mid sentence when the god of war appeared. He felt the god's gaze on him, obviously not good standing so close to a man like that's daughter. Wes tensed slightly. "He's here." The second Trinity's head was off his shoulder Wes didn't know if he should sulk back slowly, or stand his ground, or what. Instead, he knelt down to recollect his things once again. When he glanced back up Alex was at his side, excitedly waiting for her father to be finished with David no doubt.

David didn't seem happy that she was eggy him on to go face Zeus. Andy being the optimist she is assumed he was here to thank him for what he did to help Alex and Ajax. Which he should. David was brave going against his own father to help people he wasn't close or friendly with all because she asked.

At the realization she frowned slightly. He went against everything because she asked him... Because she was dewy eyed over Ajax and didn't want to lose him. She increasingly began to felt like what she asked of him was probably the most selfish thing she'd ever done. Although she had thanked him... Numerous times, nothing she did would ever repay him for what he did.

Andy carefully hobbled herself about 50 or so yards away, before lowering herself to the ground up the slightly sloped hillside. She started readjusting her splints and bandages. She definitely was feeling 110% better than she was last night, but she was no where near healed. As she fastened the splint on her wrist she over heard what Zeus said towards David, "I believe you are the hero who rescued both Ajax, and Andy from the underworld. You didn't have to go against your father, but you did.. and for that? I thank you. I grant you one wish, David.. son of Hades." Andy couldn't help but smile. He deserved it.

"I know you did... But I couldn't stand back and watch you get treated like that. Even if that meant getting my ass kicked by a Zeus kid." She hated the thought but surely Ajax wouldn't be brutal. “Hm. Well sorry about that anyway.”
"Hold up now little miss." He begun towards hers comparison of Ajax and Jason. Trinity raised her brows towards him, amused to hear this next chunk. "Did I, or did I not come barging into your cabin when I heard the... struggle. He disappeared before I could do anything, thank you very much." Wes leaned towards her having the final say before she could. "And... I helped with a Hydra... well like a tiny bit, but still." She nodded. “You were very good with the Hydra.” She agreed.
As Wes begun his next justification of their parents likelihood of appearance, he cut off with "He's here."“What?”

"Trinity.." The voice from which it came felt familiar and like one she had to obey. She turned to see Ares and her hear leapt out of her chest. She exchanged a quick look with Wes and smiled. "Come here, let me look at how much you have grown." Trinity started towards him, her gaze unflinching and set, taking in the great and rare sight of her father in the flesh. In fact she was afraid to look elsewhere, as if he might disappear suddenly. She flickered a smile towards Alex's little bump into him, and how he steadied her with ease.

The admiration she had for her father was incalculable. Trinity always thought she hated her dad for his lack of attendance in her life and making her prone to anger but here he was and all she could feel was love. She loved him unconditionally. The typical: girl's first love is her father.

She wanted to hug him and squeeze tightly but she was afraid such acts on Ares would be less than appreciated. Or that he'd then perceive her as weak and just a little girl. Plus, two steeley warriors showing affection in the center of camp? Maybe not a good idea. So she bit back on any love attacks. And stood in front of him for evaluation.

When she had finally put aside her want and need to hug him, Trinity became self-conscious of her form. “I know I’m lacking a bit of muscle mass,” she began, before he could feedback on it, rubbing her arms nervously. “But, um, I think I’m compensating in speed and agility and technique.” She met his eyes for a moment then looked away. “And I cut a hydra's head which is obviously a bad idea...” She admitted, again beating him to critique.

Before Mel could appear and take over the show, Trinity lunged to him and hugged him tightly. Screw what everybody else thought, she didn't know when she'd see him again. “Don't worry, I'll kick anyone's ass who says we're made of moosh.” Trinity told him, smiling faintly still embracing him tightly. Physically, her father was all heat and solid and there wasn't a bit of moosh on the God.

Trinity stepped away when she was ready and half-smiled towards her dad. But now she had to get to the important and harder subjects, otherwise regret it. “I've never been in a proper war before, dad. How is this gonna go for us?” Obviously Ares wasn't a psychic but from experience he might be able to gather an idea of the outcome with this crew. “Are you gonna help us?” She asked gently.

"I believe you are the hero who rescued both Ajax, and Andy from the underworld. You didn't have to go against your father, but you did.. and for that? I thank you. I grant you one wish, David.. son of Hades." Zeus' proposal only made matters worse and the betrayal of his father thicker. "Thank you," David said. "But no." He shook his head slowly in reflection. David wasn't declining Zeus's gratitude. On the contrary he was grateful for it and appreciated it. "I don't think even you can give me what I want." He conversed with Zeus lowly then looked back over his shoulder to Andy. David threw half a smile back to her then saw Alex. "Apparently Hades still rules my desires and fears. Really, thanks though." He nodded courtly to Zeus and backed away "But if you could heal my friend there, that'd be pretty great." David gestured to Andy then spun on his heel to return to her. "Would you rather threaten a kid of Apollo to heal you? because I could do that for you." He chuckled and pat her back once and headed to the hall to check the activities while the crowd was focused on the gods.

Andy could probably borrow another shoulder if Zeus didn't heal her. But if she was still hobbling about, then threaten an Apollo kid it would be.

Before he left, he even caught the likes of Trinity embracing some buff man. Presumably her father. David smiled and headed for the hall.

Zeus looked to David's friend the second he mentioned her. He could tell that this was Hades's doing, but his opinion on the girls choice to put her own life at risk was not smart as Hades would not have hesitated to kill her. Something had stopped him though because here she was. "That I can do." he held his hand gently on Andy's shoulder after moving towards her, closed his eyes and allowed his powers to surge down into his fingertips, causing his hand to glow. The glow was a golden haze around his palm as it healed her entire body. No thanks were needed, but Zeus knew she would with her grateful nature.

This had been what Alex had daydreamed about on quite a regular basis about having her father visit their camp, and having that entire day to spend with him, no distractions, but there was bound to be at least one somewhere. Just his presence could turn her rainy days to sunlight... but not for her brother.

He still couldn't understand why he chose Mount Olympus over his own flesh and blood. Clearly that damn throne of his was more precious than anything else. Did he deserve his little girl's excitement? no... but he was going to get it anyway because Alex always forgave him. Daddy's little girl. Every time she would fall for his honeyed words and not once think about how he abandoned them straight after birth. He never even left a damn note to explain, "Hey, kids.. you're Demigods. I'm going to teach you how to control and use your powers, but I'm sorry I can't stay because..." he never explained a damn thing.

Instead, he left Ajax to look after himself. Plus Alex. He raised his little sister by himself and did one heck of a job because she turned out to be kind, happy, loving, caring, honest, smart and protective. Just like himself. Even though the Valis siblings were similar, they could still be told apart if they were twins because they both had their own Originality. The way her Father was looking at her made her heart soar the heavens, making her feel like she was practically on cloud nine. She still felt guilty for being this happy though, because not everyone was going to get to be with their parents until probably after the war that wasn't so far away.

Memories were flickering through his head as he watched his naive little sister with their father, but one particular memory stood out from all the rest. They had moved to their step-dads farm, so it was extremely quiet with being out in the middle of no-where. He remembered their electricity had gone out during a storm, causing Alex to freeze up in bed as a branch kept tapping against her window. It had looked like a monster's arm in her imagination, attached to a hand with long, thin fingers. She had convinced herself that was going to eat her, so she ran into Ajax's room screaming, "MONSTER!" before she dived on him. He had luckily been awake still and held her close to him with a smile."It's okay, Al. We'll build a blanket fort, okay? it'll protect you. I'll never let anything bad happen to you. I promise." and he never did. Not once.

So they built their fort out of their sheets, and Alex soon fell asleep. Her cheek had been resting on her brother's torso with her arm draped over him as he held her with one arm protectively as he found sleep himself. Finally.

He wanted to warn her to not get herself too close and attached to their dad, to not get her hopes up because it was possible that he could leave. But, Alex needed this moment, even if it was for a little while. She needed their father.

There was no question about it, Ares was proud of what his daughter had done already, and he did not care for minor mistakes. Trinity had done what she thought was the right thing to do at the time, and he was glad that she was still alive. Suddenly, before he could act, his daughter had her hold on him once lunging into him with a hug and he held her close to him while kissing the top of er head. “Don't worry, I'll kick anyone's ass who says we're made of moosh.” he laughed and grinned at that, "As will I" he chuckled, but that soon faded as he watched his daughter step away from him.

Something was clearly on her mind because that half-smile toward him had given it away. “I've never been in a proper war before, dad. How is this gonna go for us? Are you gonna help us?” She had asked gently. He wasn't sure how it was going to play out on the day, but he was 100% certain where he would be, with or without Zeus's permission... beside his daughters. "Until the end. I will be there to protect you and your sister. Always. But promise me that you will not do anything reckless, Trinity. If things begin to go south on our side? I want you to take your sister, and run. Do you understand?"

Andy didn't really have to call him anything, just a thank you would have sufficed. But he understood how nerve-racking it must be to come face to face with a God. "You're welcome." he told her with a smile, then allowed her to pursue her friend who had given his wish away. Zeus respected David for his selfless act for his friend. People like David, Andy, his children and the other Demigods, were the reason Zeus did not give up on Mortals and their humanity. They were redeemable.

Once looking at his daughter, Alex ran into his arms the second his eyes locked onto hers. She flung her arms around his middle while crashing against his chest with her cheek. She hugged him as tightly as she could as the tears in her eyes slowly trickled down her tanned Greek cheeks. He kept her close to him, afraid of losing one second with her. With a sigh, he gently kissed her head once. He had missed quite a lot of the years his children were growing up, yet he did not feel like a stranger to either of them. "You have grown a lot, Princess. Just as beautiful as your mother.." he brushed the pad of his thumb gently under her eye to wipe away her tears of joy. "And where is your brother? I need to see him." that sounded urgent. Alex wiped the rest of her eyes, then pointed out to where he was before Zeus made his way over to his son with Alex proudly following behind.

Ajax had tried to pretend that he hadn't seen the both of them, but his father would still confront him.

"You're not yourself, son." were his first words, causing Alex to curl in her bottom lip and held it gently with her teeth as she watched Ajax. She blinked softly, then looked down to her feet for a moment. She knew it, she knew he wasn't being himself. "What are you even talking about? I'm fine." was he seriously going to act like he didn't know!? or did he not remember like memory loss? Ajax

folded his arms, and glanced at his sister once, who was stood beside their father. He was now wondering if she had told Zeus a bunch of lies for acting like Camp Athen's biggest asshole with a huge red capital A.

Zeus never had favorites out of his children, he just wanted to be a good father because his own father wasn't going to win any number one dad awards anytime soon. Kronos, the son of Uranus, and father of Zeus... had learnt that his son and the others would overthrow him eventually, so, Kronos decided to eat his own children until Zeus, Hades and Poseidon locked him away for all eternity. He would never do that with his own children, even if Ajax was to overthrow him.

"Your soul... it's gone missing." Alex looked to Zeus with a frown of confusion at first. But upon realizing where he may have lost it, caused Alex to open her mouth a little to speak. She hesitated for a second, unsure if her assumptions were in fact just assumptions... or truth.

"Dad... I think Hades has it or took it away. I don't know. It does sound like something he'd do." Zeus nodded. She was correct.

"You're right. He does have that gift because I watched my father grant him with that and many others." Hades had always been Kronos's favorite, all because he was as corrupted as he was. Rotten to the core. Kronos even wanted every mortal to be killed. Both the Valis's knew for a fact they didn't want to know about their grandfather because they had read the stories that seemed like fairytales, but now... it was a fact of reality.

"If you're both right about this, then how do I get my soul back?"
"You didn't die in the underworld, so it's not trapped there... it's lost here in the mundane world. You won't be able to find it, Son. Your soul will find you." as odd as that sounded to the both of them, they took his word for it. They had nothing else. That was going to be easy, though. Luckily. No-one fancied going back to the underworld anytime soon, and neither did Alex. She kissed her father on his cheek. "See you tonight hopefully. I love you." she waved them off before heading to her cabin to grab her training gear. While she got to her cabin, she saw Theo descending the hill. "You alright there, Fee?" she called out to him, jotting down his new nickname for him in her head. "My dad's at camp and the activities are starting. Check the board out by the hall." she pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. "Catch ya later." she waved once across with a smile before carrying on inside of her cabin to change.

Ares was about to protest against Trinity's words, but was attacked with a bear hug from his other daughter Melissa. He held her as he watched Trinity wander off for a second, then looked down at Mel with a smile, "hi, beautiful. Can I have the air back into my lungs now?" he chuckled. "I hope you're both training.." he wanted his girls to have fun also, but training was important and the main reason they were at the camp in the first place. They were all under supervision from the Gods, even if they didn't know it. They needed praise, and Ares was definitely proud of the both of them. "I am blessed with the both of you girls. Tell your sister that, and that I will always love the both of you. Don't even feel like you have to live up to me. You do what you can, and you do your best."

Alex was stood next to David and Andy while looking over the list for an activity. Rock climbing seemed to be perfect, so she took the pen that sat in the little tray, and jotted her name down in fancy letters before looking to Andy, "Looking well.. and thank you, for helping us. The both of you." she smiled with her hand gently touching their shoulders once while she passed them, and headed to her first assault course of the day. It was a huge wall, but that didn't both Alex one bit with having her Father's bravery. She was the little dare devil. She'd see her father tonight, but hopefully, he wouldn't leave before then.

"Just come to our cabin tonight, dad, let me cook us something on the BBQ & chat by the firepit?" Ajax didn't care if he wasn't going to show up, but he was doing it for Alex. He looked over at the wall, and could see his sister climbing it with a bit of a steady pace, but there was no race, no competition. She was focusing more on her footwork, and where to place her hands, then she'd gradually pick up the pace.

Theo looked down at his feet as he finally descended the final little hill to camp. He snapped back to reality when he heard the footsteps of someone walking toward him. He looked up, not realizing he still had an odd look on his face. "You alright there, Fee?" she called out to him. Theo fixed his face into his signature smirk as he approached while listening to the rest of her statement. He heard the little nickname, but people didn't give you a nickname if they didn't find you worth their time, so he didn't complain. "My dad's at camp and the activities are starting. Check the board out by the hall." she pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. Theo had been looking for some action as he scratched his head searching for a nickname to throw back at her. He smiled as he said "Okay Lady Lightning. I'll see you there. Maybe you can teach me how to fry a hydra..." Theo laughed at his own joke as he went by. "Catch ya later." she said as they went separate ways.

He arrived at the board to see some of the people from the party that he hadn't talked to. He hung back until he saw Alex arrive. Theo walked near the board quietly and began looking it over without a word, listening to those around him.

Alex had finally reached the top of the climbing wall, pulling herself up with all the strength in both of her arms, then turned herself around before sitting. Her legs dangled off of the side as she looked down at the others, her long dark hair blowing back gently like you see someone that's in a photoshoot, or maybe in Daniel's case!? it would be the moment he imagines her walking towards him in slow motion. Seductively.

She could have flown up, literally, but she wanted to achieve this by her own strength and determination. With her arms on either side of her, and her palms pressing into the ground, a smile was on her face. "Come on slowpokes. Catch up!" she shouted out, and chuckled before softly biting her lower lip while smiling to herself. She loves to show off, especially if there was going to be so many eyes watching her which would make that moment even sweeter.

Her brother was within viewing distance, even if he was making his way towards their cabin with their dad. Maybe they were talking about Ajax's missing soul, and when they're going to decide on announcing it to everyone in camp. At least there would be a fair few people who'd be able to rest; knowing that Ajax's actions weren't truly his own.
Alex never understood the concept of fear, because it was always so easy to cast it aside if you really wanted to... so why did people choose to latch onto it instead of facing it? Luckily Alex had never gotten the chance to be afraid, but she could have sworn that she had felt some sort of emotion like it when she thought she was losing Ajax, then despair when she did. Momentarily. Either way, Alex was happy to have her big brother back even if he wasn't being himself.

After so many years without his father, he was now face to face with him for what seemed like the first time. The first time he can remember at least. There were so many questions unanswered, yet this soulless him wasn't interested in whatever answer Zeus would give him, or even excuses for being absent from most of his and Alex's life. "What happens if my soul doesn't come back?" part of him was hoping one answer, and the other part of him knew it was possible that it wasn't going to be a fairytale ending. It never was.

"You'll either stay like this... or die." That last word made Ajax look up to his father. Even though he was emotionless, he didn't want to die and leave his little sister by herself without him. He knew for a fact it would break her heart, and in time!? she'd become reckless in seeking out revenge for his death.

"For Alex's sake, I hope that isn't the case."

"It won't be. I won't let it be the only outcome for my son. I'll be here to protect you, and I'll do everything I can. I promise."
"Shame you couldn't come up with those words years ago, old man. So, what? Do you want to be a father when you decide? honestly, Alex might need you but I don't. I've been completely fine on my own, raised your daughter on my own since mom was too busy with her abusive ex-boyfriend. You didn't even protect her. Our step-dad has been the best thing that has ever happened to her since you left her to play King."
"Son..."
"Don't call me that. You don't have the right. Once this is all over with the war!? I never want to see you again." he obviously didn't mean that, it was just this soulless him talking and Zeus had to remind himself that this wasn't his son, but what if most of the things coming out of his mouth were true, deep down hidden feelings/thoughts? guess no-one will ever know other than Ajax himself.

"Ajax!"he peeled his eyes off of his father, and turned to the new voice that was calling to him. His pace looked aggressive, but Ajax knew exactly who he was. "Everything okay with you, man?" He went to reply but stopped as Duke realized he was in the presence of Zeus himself.

"I am so sorry. I'll be by the armory when you're free." Zeus watched him walk away as Ajax called out to him. "Duke, wait--" he turned to his father again. "Alex and I will see you tonight I guess. But just know everything I do!? is for her. Not you." He gave his father a daggered look from the corner of his eyes as he wandered off towards the armory.

Once there, he stood in the doorway, his shoulder resting on the frame as he folded his arms. "Duke.." he called out, his voice echoing deeply around the armory's room.

"I was just wondering... I didn't know if that meant the activities would be like... Altered to force us to work together. I couldn't care less either way." Though in agreeance with her about the caring, his interest was relatively peaked at the idea of alteration in the activities making them more extreme and having to rely on each other. "Honestly I have no clue, but you'd think they could be with all the power in this place."

Andy's feelings weren't the kind to be hurt so easily but David did have a lack of delicacy when it came to preferences and his own feelings. "Don't take it personally. You've lasted longer than most." He added. Though it only took a few moments before he leaned his arm on her shoulder this time, sure to exert some of his extra weight on it too. "But how about I crack out of my hermit shell, and we just do one activity together. Sure as I am that Daniel would love his ass whooping...it can wait a while." David started walking with no particular destination in mind until he heard some shouting. Nothing immediate so as to imply help but a friendly shout out for attention. David's eyes finally traveled the distance and upwards to sight Alex. Even from where he was standing it seemed like she was beaming.

David glanced to Andy. She was healthy and in good condition again. "I'll pay you to dash up there and give her a love nudge."

It hadn't been drastically long as he may have expected until Ajax joined him. Duke was just beginning to set the axes and swords on their racks in almost an OCD type fashion. He paused mid motion of one then let it rest upon it's support and turned to the son of Zeus. "What are you doing?" He asked holding out his arms then letting them drop by his sides in exasperation. "Did you seriously fool around with two girls when Alex is here now?" The Valis' were like his own siblings or distant but very much loved family. "I mean is that really your taste at all?" Duke sighed out. The words never sounded quite right coming from him. And Ajax probably didn't need a full interrogation. "Obviously you can do whatever you want on your own time and make your own decisions but fricken Courtney and Sasha? You're better than that."

Duke didn't imagine his first and late day back going anything like how it did thus far. He just expected a bit more warmth and leisurely time. Instead he was stacking weapons and lecturing Ajax. He rubbed his temple and exhaled. "I feel like I missed a century or something." Both in Ajax's personality change and the armory left in a mess or naked.

She noticed that David had turned his attention in her direction from her shouting down to everyone. "I wonder what he thinks about me now. He's definitely not as bad as I thought he was" she thought silently to herself while gently swinging one of her legs back and forth as it remained dangling off of the edge. "Come on, David! show us all how it's done!" she shouted to him, then grinned while chuckling, showing her entire pearly whites. It was obvious that seeing her father again had made all of her Christmas's and Birthday's come at once. Ajax didn't have the heart even now to end that for her.

"What are you doing? Did you seriously fool around with two girls when Alex is here now? I mean is that really your taste at all? Obviously, you can do whatever you want on your own time and make your own decisions but fricken Courtney and Sasha? You're better than that." Duke meant well, and deep down Ajax knew he was right. Duke had always been like an older brother to him, and it wasn't just Ajax who looked up to him. It was Alex too. "I'm not myself right now." he confessed. "A lot happened while you were away, and just... nothings made sense since because it seems as though my memories have been wiped. Which they probably have." he knew that duke wouldn't understand and that he'd want to maybe question everything a little more, but all Ajax knew!? was it was good to see him again. Alex would now have the both of them to protect her. "All I ask is that you trust me. You and Al know me more than anyone else around here. You know this isn't me. I know that now."

"I feel like I missed a century or something."
"You're not alone on that."

Zeus had started to wander around the camp, just to check that everything was in order, that the Demigods were alright, and if they needed anything from him, or the others. "Who wants to embark on a little quest for me?" he asked, his eyes then searching the crowd and hoping that Theo would speak up on his own to join the quest. Obviously, Zeus wasn't going to allow him or someone else to go alone. They'd have to go as partners and work together to try and find an older demigod who goes by the name Jason Torvik, the son of Athena. Zeus treasured Theo's skills, and he knew he'd be the right Demigod for the job.

"Honestly I have no clue, but you'd think they could be with all the power in this place."

Andy nodded her head in agreement. "I'm not sure what all they could do with a climbing wall." She shrugged her shoulders. Obviously she'd find out here in a minute but as she glance back over her shoulder, campers seemed to be climbing with relative ease. Of course, not everyone was a master climber but there wasn't people getting thrown from it or anything.

"Don't take it personally. You've lasted longer than most." With the absence of her arm on his shoulder, David then took the advantage of placing his arm on her shoulder.

This caused her to give him a sideways glance. "Well aren't I special." Her tone was undoubtedly smothered with sarcasm like most of her dialect was. But Andy liked having someone to talk to that wasn't her brother and the Valis'. Contrary to what many people may think when looking upon her, she has quite the tendency to be shy and introverted. Her tiny amount of friendships she happened to just fall into. Sure, at some point she's going to have to bite the bullet and try to make friends with everyone. But considering these are the first actual friends she's had in her entire life... it's easier said then done.

"But how about I crack out of my hermit shell, and we just do one activity together. Sure as I am that Daniel would love his ass whooping...it can wait a while." When David started walking, Andy slowly followed after him. Before she replied, she noticed his attention was drawn towards a shouting Alex on top of the climbing wall. "I'll pay you to dash up there and give her a love nudge."

Andy scoffed. "Oh yeah lets open that can of worms. 'Did you hear Andy pushed Alex off the climbing wall? What a bitch!'" She laughed while rolling her eyes. "I've already put myself in a bad light for... someone." She didn't need to say his name, David knew. "I don't think I need to add 'pushing Alex off a climbing wall to it.'"

Her attention was drawn back to Alex who shouted towards David, "Come on, David! show us all how it's done!"

Andy smirked, raising a brow as she looked over at him. "Yeah David, show us how it's done... Slower than me." She then playfully pushed him back before sprinting towards the wall. She was there in no time, grasping a red and blue rock in her palms as she hoisted herself up and started her ascent.

***

Wes tried not to laugh out loud when he heard Trinity's reaction to Theo's invitation. Yeah, offer to take a girl hunting. That's the way to her heart... like a bouquet of cockroaches. He rolled his eyes while raising his right hand up to rub the back of his neck.

His attention was drawn towards a deep booming voice that he had heard not a few moments earlier. Zeus. "Who wants to embark on a little quest for me?" Wes raised his brows in curiosity. If he had half a mind he would have offered to go. No doubt a quest would be interesting, probably get him some brownie points with Trinity, not to mention get him a better standing than a pretty boy at camp. But that thought also set in the realization of 'who in the hell would want an Aphrodite kid on a quest!?' What was he supposed to do? Seduce someone to death? Wes scoffed at his own thoughts.

Wes' attention was quickly brought back to reality when a mane of blonde hair moved between him and the board. His brows raised as he noticed how closely she was standing between him and the board. There was already barely enough space for another person between him and the wall, but somehow Trinity fit into that small space. “Er I could just go back to sleep.”

He laughed, crossing his arms over his chest which raised his elbows high enough to rest upon either of her shoulders. "At least you got to sleep on a bed." He teased before leaning forward to rest his chin upon the top of her head. "Giants don't work well on couches." He chuckled. She knew he was grateful for the tiny little couch to sleep on but he wouldn't be himself if he didn't also tease her.

“Anything of interest?”

Wes squinted his eyes slightly as he glanced over the board once again. "Well considering I'm not sure how much physical activity I could actually do in these clothes... I was thinking about song writing." After a moment or two he added, "But I'm fairly certain my guitar was lost in the fire." He laughed halfheartedly. "Maybe I should take Daddy's credit card and make a trip to town."

David looked at Andy and rolled his eyes at her excuse. Alex would probably catch herself and fly off or something so like he said it would be a love nudge not a real fall and injury and talk of the camp how the daughter of Hecate crippled the daughter of Zeus. Though Ajax probably wouldn't appreciate it, that was true.

"Come on, David! show us all how it's done!" Alex called. Impeccable timing by her as always. He could have glared up at her if Andy hadn't chimed in so quickly. "Yeah David, show us how it's done... Slower than me." She pushed him back and David staggered back, looking after her in confusion. Then he smiled and ran after her. He ascended the wall, finding his footing and grip with some surprising ease but that was likely just the determination to overtake Andy and get to the top. "So not in the gear for this." He observed all a little too late, pass the mid-point.

In time his muscles and footing placement led him to the top and he perched by Alex. David took a moment to catch his breath. "Let's get this straight, I'm supposed to give you a little bump but the view isn't too bad up here." It wasn't the peak of camp but still pretty high and served as an effective outlook. "No magic barriers or team work involved either." He added, more so directed at Andy.

Trust was a hard thing asked for but he was lucky it was coming from the likes of Ajax. It altered the context completely for Duke and as far as he could tell, Ajax was being honest about his problems and maybe even struggled to navigate them for himself. Duke couldn't understand them entirely, but he did trust Ajax and knew of the struggle and twists the camp could bring. "That's a lot to ask for." He observed, particularly with Ajax acting so uncharacteristic.
But in some way, deep in the core, Ajax was still Ajax. "Is there any way we can help this process?" Duke had to ask.

Whatever got Ajax back to the real Ajax would help. He had effortless leadership skills and he did play idol to a lot of demigods, particularly the younger ones and they needed an inspiration and role model close to home, experiencing similar situations.

Sub-consciously, though he was sure he was involved in deep conversation with Ajax and active listening, the armory was completely and neatly restocked. His hands had a habit of going through the easy motions. Duke left the armory then and sat outside of it. "All I'm saying is the next time a minotaur attacks or a hydra attacks, you should be fighting as you." With a snap of his fingers, a ball of flame summoned in his palm, and Duke let it dance around his fingers. "And make love to a woman as you." Duke seemed more of the macho and bravado type, but he did have his deep observational moments and strong outlooks. Passion and making love was rarely one that popped up, and more so Aphrodite's territory but he had his views on it to be special and intimate, and to be saved for the kind that consumed you with sparks and addiction. Besides, Duke had heard Ajax had himself a quick connection on camp. The title was 'girlfriend', but Duke didn't want to assume that via other mouths.

Alex smiled as she watched David make his way up the wall before he was perched beside her. Usually it would of felt awkward to be anywhere near the guy, but he had proven that he wasn't entirely like his father and sister. David took a moment to catch his breath. "Let's get this straight, I'm supposed to give you a little bump but the view isn't too bad up here." Alex chuckled and looked at the view for herself again. For miles there was a large ocean that faded into the distance, but on either side of it were large mountains covered in trees. Camp Athens was definitely worth it with how every inch of this place was so breathtaking. If she could stay here for good she would. "Not gonna argue with you there, but isn't too bad? seriously?" she smiled, "It's more than that... it's incredible. If only you could fly because you're missing out on so much more." she then playfully nudged him once with her left shoulder, smiled once more, then turned her attention back to the view, and keeping it there as David then adressed more so towards Andy. "No magic barriers or team work involved either."

Ajax had only come to terms with being soulless, and the fact that he had literally come back from the dead, but now that Duke was here with him as-well-as Alex, then everything seemed better, and less stressful. "That's a lot to ask for. Is there any way we can help this process? All I'm saying is the next time a minotaur attacks or a hydra attacks, you should be fighting as you."

"I'm aware..I just don't know how the hell to speed this up. Dad wasn't exactly helpful or useful... nothing new there really." he scoffed, but soon looked to the ball of flame that Duke had conjured up in his hand. Ajax watched it, inner wishing he could do the same.

"And make love to a woman as you."

Ajax looked up to him steadily. "I'll never love again.. you know that already." he reminded his old friend about his past troubles with women. Two of them. "They're lucky if they stay away from me."

Zeus saw Theo step up, and began to speak right away. He remained calm as he didn't want to scare the kid. "I need you find an older Demigod. His name is Jason Torvik, son of Athena, and was last seen in Ohio. We need his wisdom. Think you're up for the task?"

{ I'm sorry my answer is really really short for Zeus. I got no muse for him today :( }

Andy was laughing while glancing over her shoulder back at David as she climbed up the wall. Occasionally she occurred a little trouble when having to stretch her legs up higher than her skinny jeans would allow.

It seemed just as she hit a little snag when it came to her flexibility in her clothing David spoke up from not far below her. "So not in the gear for this."

Andy laughed as she finally reached the top, hoisting herself up to sit on the edge with her legs hanging over. "Barely incapacitated for a day and I feel out of practice." She glanced around the camp while David reached the top and sat between her and Alex. Her gaze drifted over towards Daniel who was over on the high ropes courses. She pursed her lips as devious thoughts on how to get pay back for him chucking her crutches plagued her mind.

But her attention was brought back to the present when David talked towards her. "No magic barriers or team work involved either."

She shrugged with a chuckle. "Hey, I was just relaying what I heard." She put up her hands innocently. Andy then ran her hands back through her hair with a soft sigh. It was such a nice day that it was hard to believe how much hell this camp actually saw.

***

Wes grinned when Trinity held up a finger in protest to his comment. “Uh-uh. I offered the giant a bed and he refused. That card is invalid.”

"You couldn't very well think I would kick you out of your own bed?" Then she shifted underneath him so he lost his comfortable resting place. He quickly reached out his right arm to catch himself before face planting into the wall. He chuckled half heartedly as he watched move away from the board.

Trinity seemed to be thinking over what to say after the mention of his father. He patiently stood there until she decided on something to say. “What a mystery you make.” She bit her lip which caused him to raise a brow slightly. “So you and your dad get along pretty swell, I take it. Do and your mom?” She then seemed to surrender incase he wasn't up for answering her questions. “If it comes to it though I'm sure you can just ask or woo someone to borrow their guitar. Or focus on the lyrics first.”

Wes laughed. "No it's ok." He cleared his throat while shoving his hands into his pockets. "Dad's rich and that junk... So he's never around and just thinks giving me a car or a limitless credit card will buy my love." He shrugged his shoulders. He'd rather be poor and have a dad who actually wanted to spend time with him. "And mom? Well I've met her once. My father never wanted me to come here but when I kinda ruined my chances of going to Yale he let Aphrodite send me here so I'd be 'safe'." He sighed shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I'm a weird case where it was actually my father who kept my away from my mom."

When he was finished with his story he looked over towards Trinity. He didn't know how she's gauge the story. Wes was half tempted to ask about her life but in the end he figured she'd tell him if she wanted him to know.

Alex nudged him and his fingers tightened furiously on the ledge in an instant as his torso leant forward and he faced the ground below as his weight threatened to topple over. David gave her a cold glare once he set himself back upright and didn't exchange with her beyond that. David's cold blues could communicate plenty.

After returning to the view and a few good minutes to cool off, he gave a content sigh out but maybe there was a little boredom overlapping with it. Nice view and nice day, good enough company but..something didn't sit right with him. Or maybe he was growing harder to appease in his age. His tongue slid across his teeth as he watched Zeus converse with another student. "Did he also do something worth a wish being granted?" He looked between the two girls then rolled his eyes to himself. They had their own problems regarding Daniel and Ajax. Besides if David wanted to figure something out, he was best to investigate it for himself. Was just quicker and easier.

He pin dropped down and intended to use the Underworld portal like a wormhole before a long skeletal hand reached out and yanked him into another portal. He fell chest first onto the solid surface and coughed and wheezed. Slowly he found the mobility to get to his knees. David was quickly restrained so he couldn't rise beyond that point, cuffed at the wrist by steel and steel chain that wrapped around spikes of the passageway to the throne. Even his head was pushed in a bowing position by the dead.

"David. My own son who betrayed me and took the sweet taste of revenge from the tip of my tongue. Yet hopes to rule the Underworld one day. Tell me boy, did Zeus grant you a gift for your betrayal?" David glared up at his father who had no doubt been watching from below. "Was it worth it? Did the girl you saved so heroically give you more than mere words of gratitude? Did Zeus' wish fulfill you?" All rhetorical questions that David did not bother to respond to but tried to shake off the person holding his head downwards. He growled out and hit the floor at his failed attempt. "Tell me, who else is there that you care for David? Who else is it that you love? Her? Zeus's son's girlfriend? Andromeda is it?" David scrambled to grasp Hades new direction. It was always important to stay in front of him or at least with him to understand intentions and therefore consequences.
"No." He answered and furrowed his brows. "No. You took the last girl I cared about from me."
Hades rolled his eyes as if disappointed. "Now that's not true. You have a beautiful niece and your sister."
David's eyes widened and his heart pounded wildly beneath his chest. "There is another one." He heard himself say. "A demigod. Tough, blonde and beautiful." David was surprised in how the lie poured out of his mouth.
Hades cocked his head in the slightest, as his cold eyes turned into calculating slints. "That is an interesting new development. We shall see." Hades rose from his throne. He stalked towards David and touched David's neck with a fingertip but it was enough to make him cringe.

When he reopened his eyes he was kneeling on lush grass at camp where a breeze touched his skin. David panted like waking from a night terror, like he had the beads of sweat trickling down his skin for it too. David got to his feet and made for his original destination.

David wasn't at the most subtle of distances but he was glad he overheard what he did. It gave him opportunity to join conversation. "Does Jason Torvik know how to liberate souls and bring girlfriends back?" David stepped up beside his acquaintance looking to Zeus then over the newish guy. It was as proper of an acknowledgment as he was going to get. David looked back to Zeus and continued. "Either way, I trust if you're asking for him he's brainy enough and gonna be some significant advantage. So we're in." David didn't favor dying in some titan verse god war, so if finding Jason was going to tip the scales their way, he'd tag along. God, David just hoped he wasn't a bitter and stubborn demigod. He was hardly in the mood to deal with it and likely end up being the first trial of the older demigod's skills.

Alex's eyes met with David's cold glare, a look too familiar from the son of Hades. If he had fallen she'd of caught him easily, but then again she understood why he would react that way towards her. He didn't trust her, but Alex was the kindest, trustworthy person that anyone could ever come across. At times, she had a bad temper, and the occasional moment where she'd brag about certain things, but every aspect of her personality - good, or bad.. made her exactly who people know and love to this day.

She never intended to push him off the edge, she just lightly bumped his shoulder with her own like friends would, but they're not exactly friends, right? Alex had been wrong to judge David from his father's reputation, but how could anyone trust that David wouldn't turn out the same, or slightly the same as his old man? the possibilities were equally measured. The girl next to him who everyone knew as Andy, had managed to pull through some horrendous situations, and that made Alex respect her for her bravery, and for her strength. The second a boney hand shot up out of the ground, Alex jumped back from where she was sitting beside David, and cried out, "What the hell!?!" it had taken David into the underworld no doubt, so it was probably his daddy needing him. Hopefully David wasn't going to betray the camp now.

Alex looked over to Andy, still slightly wondering if that just happened, or she was hallucinating. "Please tell me you just saw that too..." she asked Andy, waiting on confirmation for Sanity. Honestly, though, anything and everything is possible at this camp, so she shouldn't have been so shocked really, but it was so random.

Even though Duke was right about their God/Goddess parents, Ajax couldn't help but still feel angry towards his father because all he ever wanted in his life was for Zeus to be there instead of some other man playing Daddy. Their Step-Father was a kind, caring and honest man to their mum, and trustworthy too which was a bonus, so Ajax remained happy for her sake because she was really happy with her husband to be.

The second Duke mentioned Andy, he swallowed firmly with a look of lost on his face, yet he was feeling a lot more with just the mention of her name. Duke lightly bumped him which would have normally caused Ajax to laugh and probably get into a play fight, but since his soul was still missing. That was until he suddenly went ridged like as if someone had snuck up behind him and stabbed a knife into his back. His eyes were wide and fixated until a bright light came rushing towards the both of them, and slamming itself into Ajax's chest, causing him to shout out before collapsing on the ground. His soul had returned to him.

Andy sat a top of the climbing wall, swinging her legs back and forth while her hands grasp the edge. "Did he also do something worth a wish being granted?"

Her gaze drifted over towards him, before following his towards one of the knew campers. She scoffed, "Wait now that's not fair." She held up a finger in protest, "I was in the Underworld and I didn't get a wish." She gave a soft laugh at her own sarcasm.

Then to her surprise David just... Dropped off the wall. At first Andy didn't know if he fell or jumped. But either way she called towards him, "David!" While trying to reach out and grab his hand, but she wasn't quick enough. She had half a mind to jump after him. When the boney had reached out and grabbed him she gasped. She knew where he was going... And it terrified her. Even though Hades was his father, who knew what he'd do to him after what he did, what they did.

When the skeleton like hand shot up from the ground it caused Alex to jump back and shout, "What the hell!?!" The brunette looked over towards Andy who was just sitting there, staring with her mouth agape at the spot where David disappeared into the ground. "Please tell me you just saw that too..."

Andy finally looked towards Alex simply nodding her head. It wasn't long though before the sight of... David was seen across the grounds near Zeus and Theo. She blew air out of her lips. "Thanks for the heart attack doucher." She mumbled under her breath. "I..." She pointed her finger towards him while pursing her lips, talking towards Alex, "Am going to kick his ass for scaring me like that." She let out a half hearted laugh.

As she sat there trying to calm her near heart attack, she noticed her brother on the high ropes course. At that moment an evil smirk graced her lips. "Speaking of asses to kick." Andy spun around where she sat so that she was kneeling on the edge of the wall, grasping at the ledge with her finger tips. "If you'll excuse me." She winked before lowering herself, then releasing the edge. She landed in a crouching position, then pushed off the ground and made her way towards him.

Andy climbed her way up the makeshift wooden ladder that was nailed to a tree, and sat on the small platform at the top. Daniel was too busy singing show tunes to notice her. She grasped the rope he was currently showing off on and gave it a couple rough jerks. Not enough to knock him off but definitely enough to get his attention. "Seriously? Fern Gully?... Everyone knows that Rasputin has the best villain song, hands down." She hopped up and made her way through the obstacles towards him, holding a rope above head for stability as she came to a halt. "I should knock your ass off of here for chucking my crutches. I could have ended up incapacitated in the woods when another fire breathing something showed up. And then where would you be?" She released the rope to cross her arms over her chest while raising her brows. "...With a dead sister and a mountain of regret." She stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

***

“What..” Was Trinity's response to the tale of woe from Wes. He chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. He really was an open book, partially because he didn't care what people thought of him. But also because he wanted her to see that he wasn't just some dumb air headed Aphrodite kid. “How are you not sick of me yet?”

Wes laughed, slipping his hands into the tight jean pockets. "You're an acquired taste." He teased, "But I've been told I have weird tastes."

He raised a curious brow as she spun on her heels and raised her hands in surrender, “Okay. I'm done. Walking away now.”

He shook his head calling after her, "You sure you aren't the one getting sick of me?"

Wes decided to just walk around. It was a nice day and he didn't feel entirely in the training and working out mood, especially in clothes this tight. His gaze drifted towards Zeus, David and Theo, who was talking about trying to get Trinity to go on the quest. He clenched his jaw as he turned and walked in the other direction. She'd be good on a quest, and kick ass. He knew that and sure, he'd be proud. But also deep down he didn't like the idea of her... and Theo... That's all he needed was for her to come back a couple weeks later arm and arm with that guy.

He must have looked pissed or distracted because his attention caught by a set of giggles. Wes glanced over to see some Athena girl, and an Aphrodite girl. "Something troubling you brother?"

Wes sighed, "Nothing that concerns you."

"There are dozens of girls at this camp." The Aphrodite girl said.

The Athena one then added, while trailing a finger along his chest, "You could have anyone you wanted with a face... And body like that. Maybe even at the same time. Why let one girl put a frown on that handsome face." She grabbed his cheeks, making a kissing face towards him.

Wes pushed the girl's hand away before his sister spoke up again. "There is a reason Aphrodite's children have the most fun. We can have whoever we want."

"Just because you're her kid doesn't mean you have to be a slut."

"You know you could always make her love you... It's really easy. I could show you."

The daughter of Athena smirked, "You can try it on me."

"Aphrodite is the Goddess of love... Not lust. Love is earned not taken." Wes growled, before walking past the girls and heading down one of the trails in the woods.

Alex nodded once as Andy left her to join her brother no doubt which she understood too well before jumping off the edge herself, and hovering down towards the ground with her long dark hair flowing up above her head with the gravity. She landed gracefully on her feet before heading through Camp, her eyes wandering around at everyone else who was interacting with each other while doing their activities for the day. David, Theo and Trinity looked like they were getting ready for the mission her father had set them on, Wes had blown off a slut trying to come onto him which Alex smiled at proudly, and Andy was off in the distance with Daniel on the ropes. Her eyes pulled away from them, and landed on Duke who was crouching down next to her brother on the ground. Panic rushed through her as she quickly ran towards them at a fast pace. "DUKE!" she cried out his name with fright in her voice, the type of voice you'd hear when you thought someone was laying their dead before your very eyes.

Upon finally getting to them, she slid in next to Duke and leaned over her brother, frantically looking him over. "What happened? - Aj!" she cupped his face in her hands, ready to break down in tears if he had left her yet again.

"Wake up! please!" she begged him, and quickly checked for his pulse with her two fingers pressing into the side of his neck. Thud-thud, Thud-Thud.. Luckily there was a heart beat. She closed her eyes and blew out her lips to slowly let out the air that she had held in with how tense she felt before she looked to Duke, her hand resting on Ajax's chest. "did he attack you?" maybe his soulless self had turned on Duke, then Duke had to knock him out for a little while, but it seemed as though Ajax had been able to control himself with no soul because there wasn't an urge to even get angry, so why would he lash out at Duke?

"Whatever floats your boat, sis."

Andy chuckled softly, "It's catchy... I mean it's Christopher Lloyd. You can't say you don't feel musically inclined when you hear it." She raised her brows suggestively.

"Well, you know, you're welcome anyway." Daniel sighed, and twirled around like a theatrical little girl. "Oh, thank you greatest brother ever Daniel. You're a saint for protecting my pride and dignity."

"My dignity?" She scoffed as she allowed herself to move so that she was sitting on the rope. "I suppose a cripple on crutches spouting threats to a son of Zeus would be pretty degrading wouldn't it?" She snickered.

"From what I can see, you're fine now. Full recovery and all." Daniel still moved back to the platform. High rope courses always lost what little safety they had whenever siblings or prankster Hecate children were on them. And lucky for him Andy fell under both of those categories.

She began to kick her legs slightly in an attempt to get the rope to swing, it didn't really work. So instead she just sat there swinging her legs. "David's doing actually... Zeus granted him a wish for betraying his father." Andy tried not to seem bitter to the fact that David got a wish from the God while she didn't get anything. She didn't want a wish or anything... Just... recognition for what she did. But apparently everyone and their mother thought she was an idiot, not heroic. She cleared her throat, snapping out of it before her thoughts ran away with her. "So yeah... Voila!!" She made jazz hands with a little lack luster of enthusiasm.

"You didn't really want to see the whole old protective brother verse guilty boyfriend brawl anyway. It’s overrated." Daniel shifted so that he was half hugging the tree beside him. Andy chuckled at his comment. No brother actually likes being seen going all over protective big brother. But it did make her a little happy that someone had her back. "So are you here to karaoke with me or knock my ass off from here because your crutches blew away by some freak gust of wind?"

Andy smirked deviously and she hopped back up onto her feet on top of the rope. "Eh... I tend to like my brothers in one piece." She walked over to the platform he stood on. "And I'd be down for karaoke if you actually chose a decent song... Like oh I don't know... Mulan!" She did a fake karate kick, "Let's get down to business!"

Wes had barely evaded his 'sister' and slutty Athena wench when he could have sworn he heard Alex shout. He turned around, furrowing his brows as he scanned the camp to look for her. He walked back towards the Athena and Aphrodite girl who first thought they were successful until he plowed right through them, practically knocking them over like dominos. It took him a moment or two before he finally saw her, knelt over her brother. That isn't good.

He picked up to the best jog he could manage in the tight jeans he wore. Wes nearly almost threatened to run into Alex, unable to stop as easily as he'd like. But thankfully came to a halt a few feet away. He looked between her, the unconscious Ajax and the other dude he hadn't met yet. "Is he ok? Should I get someone?" He pointed his thumb over his shoulder as he offered to go get help. "I can't guarantee I'll get there fast, but..." He managed a sympathetic smile.

Wes just wanted to help. Especially when he knew how much Ajax met to his friend. She was a mess when she thought he was dead last night. He didn't want to see her go through that again. So if that meant booking his ass across the camp like a fucked up robot and risk busting a seam... He'd do it.

"DUKE!" She cried out his name in fright. He put a hand out to stop Alex from her little panic attack and smothering whatever air Ajax could get. But that was meaningless because in she slid and leaned over her brother in a frantic state, with frantic questions. "He’s fine." Duke assured, the same time Alex had discovered his pulse.

"Did he attack you? Despite the circumstances he laughed. The day Duke and Ajax actually attacked each other would be when they lost their minds and all identity of themselves. Or maybe a spar turned too rough. "No. Not this time Al." He slung Ajax’s arm over his shoulder. "Are you gonna help me carry him to the med hut oooor..." Duke's attention moved to some other fast approaching male to the scene. "Is he ok? Should I get someone? I can't guarantee I'll get there fast, but..." Duke scanned him or more so his wear which was eye grabbing. He flashed a smile in another brief moment of amusement. Perfect. "Just in the nick of time. One of you can help carry this deceivingly heavy hulk and the other get help." Duke pointedly look at the male when it came to the carrying assist then let his gaze drop vaguely with the other getting help.

Ajax probably just needed a little rest and maintenance/monitoring. Blood pressure, brain waves, turns of his friends watching after him until his full recovery was assured. He tried to lift up the unconscious Ajax, setting his jaw with effort.

He rolled his eyes. The look she gave him in a quick glance said it all and distrust wasn't a new concept for him. But presently they had a common goal and that was all that mattered. Theo's say wasn't as short and sweet as he idealized but he got there in the end and more importantly, earned his brownie points with Xena.

She got to her feet. “Like giving a girl a flower,” she said. David frowned lightly at the comparison, finding amusement in it all the same. “How long do we think it will take to track down, Jason? Sooner the better right?” He looked at her and her genius mind. Some more common ground. "Now that, we agree on." David begun walking to the border since they had to start somewhere. Out of camp seemed like an obvious beginning point.

David wasn't particularly talkative on a good day. And he was always broody. Hence not having much to share or say with Theo or Trinity. His mind was far too busy wondering on his father's next move. And what exactly his words had cost him. What it all meant. David glanced back over his shoulder. "Since we know nothing about this guy, we're gonna prepare to use all our assets, right?"

HEX: #8b9068 || Outfit

His head bobbed side to side. It was true, Rasputin's song did generally catch it's victims into singing about revenge. But he had already made his claim so out of stubbornness, he'd stick to it. Likewise, he responded with gestures when Andy replied with, "My dignity? I suppose a cripple on crutches spouting threats to a son of Zeus would be pretty degrading wouldn't it?" Daniel parted his index and thumb in measurement. Was always wiser not to rile up the sister more than necessary.

"David's doing actually... Zeus granted him a wish for betraying his father." Daniel's brows perked up at the new slice of information. "Well miracles do exist." "So yeah... Voila!!" "Voila indeed," he echoed quietly. "Eh Zeus, smeus anyway," he said as if it was riff-raff. He put up a finger as he had a lightbulb moment. "It's the Son of Hades' generosity you got to look out for. Last big bro thing I'm going to say." Daniel would very much try to renounce himself from brother mode. It was...work.

"Eh... I tend to like my brothers in one piece." Daniel tilted his head. "I like me in one piece too." He mumbled his agreement. He hugged his old pal, tree, tighter when Andy approached. All that was missing was jaws music to back her up. "And I'd be down for karaoke if you actually chose a decent song... Like oh I don't know... Mulan!" False alarm. He exhaled through his nose slowly. Andy kicked up in mock kung fu fashion. "Let's get down to business!" Daniel chuckled this time. "Can you imagine all of Camp training to that song? You know I've actually always wanted to execute dance manipulation." He nodded once to communicate the true story it was. Then broke out into some more spontaneous singing like he and his sister did so well. "How could I make a man out of yoooouu."

"No. Not this time Al." he told her, and slung her brother's arm over his shoulder. Alex's hands hovered near Ajax's back and front, as if ready to catch him. "Are you gonna help me carry him to the med hut oooor..." She looked up to Duke, and went to reply to that, but as his attention moved to a fast approaching Wes, Alex looked in that direction too. "Is he ok? Should I get someone? I can't guarantee I'll get there fast, but..." Alex glanced to Duke who was scanning Wes. "Just in the nick of time. One of you can help carry this deceivingly heavy hulk and the other get help."

"I'll get help" Alex quickly added, but before she could even leave, Ajax was beginning to wake-up. He was groaning with how groggy he felt. "AJ.." she rushed back over to the three of them. She was happy to see all the three men she cared about here with her, and all doing okay, but one was missing as he was with his sister - which was more than fine.

His sister was looking at him closely with concern, and he knew for a fact he had made her worry all over again, but his emotions began to fill up inside of him like he had run into a brick wall with how hard everything hit him. He kept his gaze on his sister for a moment, while Duke held his arm around his shoulder. Ajax looked at him and smiled as a thanks, and began to slowly try to stand on his own two feet. It was nice that others cared about him, and not just his little sister. "I'm fine.. I'm sorry I scared you like that, guys, but I... I think my souls back." He placed his hand on his chest, and furrowed his brows. He was missing Andy, and he felt bad for how he had treated her the most, and everyone else... especially Trinity who he had flirted with like a dog on heat. "Wes, I'm sorry if I pissed you off around Trin.. that wasn't me." he paused then, "Omg.." more memories came to him about the two sluts of camp. "I slept with them! - I got to.. I got to speak to someone. Where's Andy? and Trin?"

Alex cupped his face with both of her hands to calm him and to slow him down. He didn't have to do anything right this second, but she knew the struggles of feeling sick to the stomach with guilt. "Look at me, Big Brother.. relax.. it wasn't you. They'll know it wasn't you. You can talk to them, but let's sit you down first, okay? you've just been knocked out." "..Okay" Alex looked to Duke and Wes. "Thank you... I got it from here. But um.. can one of you let Andy know Ajax wants to speak to her, and someone get a hold of Trin, please? and just.." Ajax cut in. "Just tell Trin I'll speak to her later. I need to talk to Andy first."

"Eh Zeus, smeus anyway. It's the Son of Hades' generosity you got to look out for. Last big bro thing I'm going to say."

Andy looked over towards him, raising a brow. "I take it you don't like him much?" She chuckled softly. Not surprising, David didn't have much of a cheery disposition. But to her, he was her friend regardless of what anyone said. "You know he was the only person who came and got your sister from the Underworld... and wasted his wish on me when he could have gotten just about anything." She then put up her hands innocently while shrugging her shoulders. Daniel didn't have to like him, she didn't care either way. He was her friend regardless.

She couldn't help but laugh when her brother seemed to clutch a little tighter to the tree as she approached. Nice to know that she could intimidate him if need be. But at least he laughed at her little showing.

"Can you imagine all of Camp training to that song? You know I've actually always wanted to execute dance manipulation." Andy rolled her eyes. But then out of no where he broke into song like they seemed to do.
"How could I make a man out of yoooouu."

Andy nearly started singing along until her gaze caught sight of the Valis' across the camp. She leaned her shoulder against the tree looking back towards Daniel, "Have you talked to Alex since everything?" She raised a brow, "She's kinda been through a lot in the past 24 hours." She playfully elbowed his side and nodded her head in the direction of Alex. "Remember... Be as mysterious as the dark side of the moon." She teased before climbing back down to the ground.

She had been through so much in the past couple days that what Andy needed most was some time to think and a nice walk. She headed down the trail past all the cabins and to the beach where the campfire was the night before. Once stepping onto the sand she took off her shoes, setting them down on a log and rolled up the legs of her pants. Then slowly walked throw the shallow tide letting her mind race and wonder through everything that had happened.

***

"Just in the nick of time. One of you can help carry this deceivingly heavy hulk and the other get help." The guy said toward Wes when he showed up.

"Sure thing." He smiled towards Alex as he slipped his shoulder under Ajax's arm when she stepped away, his own arm wrapping around the unconscious male's waist to help support him. "I umm... I'm Wes." He nodded his head towards the other guy. Strange situation to meet under but he still figured he'd be polite.

"I'll get help." But before she could leave Ajax started to wake up. "AJ.."

As Ajax tried to stand on his own Wes slowly loosened his grasp on him, shifting his arm so that it was resting against along his shoulders in a more friendly manner but ready incase he needs help. "Take it easy man."

"I'm fine.. I'm sorry I scared you like that, guys, but I... I think my souls back." Wes hesitantly withdrew his hand while Ajax felt his chest as if searching for something. "Wes, I'm sorry if I pissed you off around Trin.. that wasn't me."

Wes patted his shoulder while shrugging slightly, "It's all good man. Just glad to see everything's back in order after that Underworld ordeal. You got all your bits and pieces back, and Andy —" He trailed off, raising his hand up to rub the back of his neck. Maybe not the best subject.

"Omg.. I slept with them! - I got to.. I got to speak to someone. Where's Andy? and Trin?" Wes felt bad when the realization of what happened his Ajax. He could see it in the guy's eyes that he instantly regretted it. He knew that feeling all too well and felt for the guy. Not that they had become the best of friends or anything but hopefully AJ knew he could talk to Wes if need be. But he'd bring that up later.

He stepped back as Alex consoled her brother and when he mentioned talking to Trinity later, Wes added one more thing. "I think she's going on a quest... But I'll go let her know." He gave him one last pat on the shoulder before jogging in the last direction he saw Trinity.

It took Wes a little bit of searching to find her but after 5 minutes or so he stumbled upon David and Trinity. He waved his hand while trying to catch his breath. "Hey..." He took a couple deep breaths, "Ajax is back... Or whatever. His soul returned. He wanted me to tell you he'd talk to you when you get back or whatever, to formally apologize for earlier." It then dawned on him that she was going to leave onto the quest without saying good bye. Not that she was obligated to say anything to him. "Well... Come back alive, please." He looked over towards David, "I'd tell you to watch over her but... If anyone needs taking care of it's not her." Wes was tempted to hug her bye but instead he kept his distance giving a friendly smile and a slight wave. He then turned on his heels and started walking back.

Oh, that sister was so argumentative light hearted as it all was. He rolled his eyes. "Actually I happen to like David, even before he saved your butt." He corrected. "He's the only one that appreciates my wicked ways. But trust, young one, is a different league." All circling back to Daniel's main point. Not to trust David. Hade's blood ran thick in those veins.

"Have you talked to Alex since everything?" Daniel rose an inquisitive brow. How did she jump into song? He followed Andy's gaze to some collection of specs. "She's kinda been through a lot in the past 24 hours." It took too much effort to avoid sassing back to his sister. Andy elbowed his side and nodded towards the distant figures, though likely pointing out Alex. "Remember... Be as mysterious as the dark side of the moon." That was the words of wisdom she left him with. "You know you kind of suck at playing cupid," he called after her.

Daniel sighed out and folded his arms across his chest. He thought about it, staring calculatingly, but it never really went beyond that. Andy said it herself, she had been through a lot, so why add more to that plate with his mischievous presence. Alex needed huggers and comforters and that wasn't him. Daniel remained perched on the platform, even as the high ropes course disbanded.

Duke nodded to the male that introduced himself. "Duke." He replied.

Ajax started to wake and like Wes, he loosened his hold but hovered close until his stability was assured. But of course Ajax was quick to gain his own feet. Apparently the physical struggle wasn't as much as the mental one for Ajax to bounce back from. But Alex was right, if that was his soul returning the things he did without a soul weren't him. And though an apology would help set some things right or at least clear the air, he couldn't blame himself. Wes and Alex offered assuring words to him.

Ajax further made a request to speak with Trinity and Andy. Wes had already shot off to find the familiar feisty blonde leaving Duke to find...Andy. Duke nodded to them and set off into a jog. There wasn't real urgency but sooner the better. He stopped at every new comer asking if they were Andy or had seen her, but most weren't very helpful. Eventually he came to someone he

pleaded was the last one, walking through the shallow tide of Camp Athens' beach. "Andy? Please be Andy." He begged aloud as he covered some feet between them. "I'm a friend of Ajax's and he really wants to talk to you." Duke then lowered his gaze to the clear water. "Look, I'm not sure of the exact circumstances or what went on between you two but he needs to see you. Apologize at least." Duke flickered his eyes back to her and smiled halfheartedly. He was never one for speeches but he didn't want to assume Ajax's thoughts and feelings, nor tell her the whole soulless aspect. That was for Ajax to explain. And Andy to believe in the stranger Duke was to her. "Think we all know he's made of a good heart and a good man."

Since her whereabouts led him to a nice view, he sighed out and sat in the sand. Already there was so much drama. On this side of camp things seemed to slow down. There was distance between all the worlds.

HEX: #041e75 || Outfit

Seemed Trinity lost her humor in a mentioning of the son of Zeus and Aphrodite. But David kept it low-key for now. Something to store away and prod at later. Things only got better for David in terms of Trinity not swinging at him, and in doing so defaulting that he had a point. But again, he'd keep it low-key. He didn't fancy pushing his luck while she was still bordering that aggressive, insulted line. “Bite me, David,” she said. He clucked his teeth at her and before things had a chance to escalate, Wes was there, holding up the tension as he had to catch his breath. David kept his distance, but listened in on the news that Ajax had got his soul back. That explanation made so much sense for Ajax's behavior but would be pretty tricky to forgive...Trinity scoffed and David intended to investigate these new feelings towards Ajax, but at a better time. Though interrogating her in front of Wes would have it's special dramatic effects he was sure. "I'd tell you to watch over her but... If anyone needs taking care of it's not her." His twisted mind jumped to challenge that. Wes would eat his words and Trinity would swallow her pride. Be in debt to him. He tried not to smile as it wasn't a suited time for him.

“Bye!” She called as Wes left. Even Trinity knew that was a stuff up as she cringed then ran in front of Wes. He sighed out, only comforted in the thought she wasn't a princess or drama queen. Then Theo passed and David wanted to laugh and make a few antagonistic comments , but bit his tongue and kept his poker face. Let the pure emotions do it's own work. "Hey guys! I think we're set. I found out that he is working in Akron. We'll fly to Cleveland and then drive there. The cab should be at the gas station by the road in a few minutes, so we should get going." Theo called, more so to push Trinity along. Not awkward or tense at all.

"So what's your plan when we meet Jason?" He asked Theo. The guy basically had the reins.

Sending the boys off to find Andy and Trinity, made Alex feel guilty for being bossy with them, but it was done now, and they had left without any protest or anger, so they must of been alright with it considering it was pretty important. Ajax now seemed to be in his own world, for the time being, no doubt he was going over what he wanted to say to both Andy and Trinity for acting like a complete Jerk. "Hey, she watched her brother turn his gaze to her. "Everything is going to be okay.. there's nothing to worry about. They might not forgive you right away, but it'll happen, brother." Ajax smiled at her because she was right, there was no point in worrying over something that wasn't in his control. Alex was happy to have her brother back completely but annoyed that everything bad mostly happened to him.

"You're right, Al, but I can't stop thinking about people I've upset, soulless or not, I still feel the guilt. Anyway, I'm fine... don't even worry about it." that was slightly a lie obviously. Alex didn't go into it again with him, instead, she got him a glass of water and handed it to him. He had drunk it quickly after thanking her and then placed the empty glass on the counter before standing up. "We shouldn't have sent Duke and Wes on mini errands. I'm going to go help find Andy. I forgot that Duke won't know who she is." Alex nodded. "Okay." she watched him exit the medical hut before leaving herself and heading off towards where Sera's office was.

She had made her way towards the main office in no time that was at the front of the camp, which had a river flowing next to it in a gentle trickle before exiting out into the Camps main lake that was surrounded by a few beautiful mountains. Alex was on a mini mission for Sera as she needed to know if she could send out a letter to her mother tomorrow. They always had post day on a Monday, but with being busy with everything else, no-one had time to even write a letter to anyone back at home. No doubt they'd understand. But once she got around the corner and passed the sign outside of the welcoming hut that was Sera's main office with other staff members, she could see her step-father walking towards their camp with hurried steps. His eyes looked red, like as if he had been crying for a long time.

The pit of Alex's stomach was beginning to churn.. this couldn't be good. Why did he have to come? and where was her mother? his son was in the car, so this had to be important since he was always left back at home usually. "Alex, you need to go and get your brother right away, it's a matter of importance, Princess." Alex's brows frowned deeply. "Wh-what? why?" he didn't want to explain any more to her until Ajax was there. "I'll let you know once Ajax is here, I promise." Alex looked at the office and headed towards the front door, knocking before she went in. "Sera, I need to use this as it's important. Sorry," she said before sliding the microphone towards her, and pressing a green button that would broadcast her voice across the camp. "Ajax, can you please come to the welcome desk? I'm sorry, but it's really important. No detours." she then clicked the red button to turn it off before heading back out to her stepfather and waiting for Ajax to join them.

Andy stopped mid thought and mid step when she heard an unfamiliar voice, "Andy? Please be Andy."

"Depends who's asking." She couldn't help but chuckle slightly, turning to look towards the male she hadn't yet met at camp. But in all fairness she didn't know a lot of people at camp. Sometimes it slipped her mind how little she had been there. Such a short amount of time but it felt likes months. "Yeah I'm Andy. And you are...?" She asked as friendly as possible hoping it wasn't someone she was previously introduced to and just simply forgotten. She would feel horrible if that was the case.

He closed a little more distance towards her, "I'm a friend of Ajax's and he really wants to talk to you." Andy quickly broke eye contact while inhaling sharply. She hadn't realized how just hearing his name would... ache. "Look, I'm not sure of the exact circumstances or what went on between you two but he needs to see you. Apologize at least."

Andy's mind was going a mile a minute. If he needed to talk to her, why didn't he come find her? Why send a messenger? And apologize for what? Not giving two shits when she looked like the wrong end of a smurf after staying in the Underworld so he could leave? As much as she was hurt about what he did with the other girls... She had no right to be. He wasn't hers and he never asked her to be his. But none the less it hurt.... It hurt like a bitch.

The guy looked back towards her and gave a half hearted smile which she tried to return with the best of her ability. She hadn't realized she was chewing on her bottom lip to refrain from allowing her emotions to overflow like they did earlier. "Think we all know he's made of a good heart and a good man." Andy gave a weak laugh. A tear ran down her cheek as she nodded her head in agreement. She knew he was a good guy. Maybe that's why it stung like it did.

She contemplated joining Duke and even made her way towards him with her shoes in hand. Andy didn't know the guy but he seemed nice, and definitely like someone who she could pick their brain about Ajax before jumping into the ring. She didn't know if she was quite ready to open up that can of worms again. Especially if there were others around. Because she knew she would just break down... She didn't want anyone seeing that. She already regretted letting her brother see it. But just as she went to sit behind him she heard Alex's voice over a PA, "Ajax, can you please come to the welcome desk? I'm sorry, but it's really important. No detours."

Andy's gaze immediately shot towards the camp as she chewed her bottom lip. "That doesn't sound good." It wasn't her place and she knew it. And no matter how mad she was... She still cared. Her gaze went back to Duke. If he claimed to be a good friend of Ajax's she figured he would feel the same thing. "I... gotta make sure everything is ok." With that she sprinted off back towards camp not even caring to put her shoes back on. She didn't look back to see if Duke was following but she had a gut feeling he probably would.

***

Trinity saluted him when he asked her to come back alive, “Will do chief.” Which caused Wes to chuckle while shaking his head slightly. He couldn't help but notice her gain a little more confidence when he said she wouldn't need looking out for. And after waving bye and staring off she shouted, "Bye!" after him. His face puckered slightly but then again she wasn't a very warm fuzzy person, and he didn't want to over step any boundaries.

Wes kept walking forward. He tried to slip his hands in his pockets but they were too tight for even that. He grunted in frustration and before he had a chance to try forcefully shove his hand in the pocket Trinity was in front of him. “Woah. Hey, sorry.” He couldn't fight the smile that crept to his face in the fact she actually stopped him from leaving. Even if that meant almost running into him. She pushed herself back using his chest as a back board, then proceeded to brush off his chest like she left dirt on him or something. "Sorry." He raised a brow and chuckled. “Just sorry.”

She laughed a little nervously. "No worries Blondie," He smirked knowing she hated the nickname. "I may not be as tough as you but I won't turn to mush from getting ran into or... dusted off...?"

“Oh, right. Um a proper bye to you... So do you wanna...hug it out?” Trinity half attempted holding out her arms for a hug then shifted offering another option, “Or shake goodbye?”

Wes rolled his eyes, "Come here weirdo." He took her hand that was outstretched for a shake and tugged her into a hug. It probably felt like a giant bear hug to her. He never really quite noticed how massive he was in comparison to her. He almost felt like he could break her but knew that she could break him a lot easier. "Please do come back all in one piece... And... Alive." He said while resting his cheek momentarily on the top of her head. Wes didn't want her seeing any worry behind his eyes. "Because then... I'd have to like threaten death boy over there for a trip to Hade's crib to get you back." He slowly released her, smiling down at her. "And we both know that I'm too pretty to deal with the whole Underworld thing." He teased before nodding his head back towards David and Theo giving her one more sad excuse for a wave goodbye.

It wasn't long before Ajax had arrived, his face showing confusion, and worry since he knew that this wasn't going to be good news. He was walking towards at a steady pace towards Alex and their Step-father when the news about their mother had been announced. He could have sworn he could hear his sisters heartbreaking. Ajax glanced to her, and even reached for her hand with his own, but she didn't move, and didn't know what to say, so instead she just stood there in shock, tears filling her eyes while rooted in place. Their mother had been murdered in her own home while their step-father was out with his son at a baseball game. She never liked sports, so she must have agreed to stay at home and watch her cooking channels that she enjoyed so much during her free time. How could anyone kill an innocent woman/person in cold blood? murderers weren't human... they were monsters.

So many thoughts and emotions were swirling around inside of Alex at this point, and with her hand now holding the base of her throat, she had to leave. She felt like she couldn't breathe, and that she was going to be sick at any moment. She quickly removed herself without even looking at Ajax, who turned his body slightly to watch her leave.

His step-father knew Ajax would be the one with the questions, so he braced himself to relive what he wanted to not picture in his head again. "How did you find her?" his step-father quickly added, "No need for details, it's--" "How, did you find her?" Ajax wasn't going to let him miss anything out. "I.. I found her in the kitchen, laying on the ground in her own blood. Her throat was cut." Tears filled Ajax's eyes as he pictured the horrendous scene. "And where were you?" "Your mother didn't want to go to the baseball game." With a glare, he turned and walked away. Alex needed him. "The funeral is next week!" He called out, but Ajax carried just carried on walking. He didn't blame his step-father, and his step-father would know he'd turned up. He was just angry, upset, and shocked.

Clearly, no one was safe. No-one related to a God, or Demigod - was safe.

Alex hadn't even seen Andy when she quickly passed her, but Ajax saw her, and his heart jumped into his mouth. Now wasn't the best time to express feelings and apologise. "Andy, I will talk to you after, I just.." he pointed in the direction to where his sister had gone. "I'll explain everything later. Promise." he gave her an apologetic look with his brows furrowed and quickly ran off to catch up with Alex. When he did!? she was speed cleaning her weapons. Speed cleaning was what most women tended to do when at the edge of boiling point. Her temper was like a volcano that was close to erupting. He could tell. "Al, talk to me. We need to talk about this."

"There's nothing to talk about. Leave me alone." He couldn't leave her alone in the state she was in, he knew for a fact she'd go off and do something she'd only regret the next morning. "Not going to happen. You're not the only one who's lost her. Just stop! for five minutes, breathe, and let's get through this together. You're not alone.. you hear me?"

"I should never have come in the first place. I was too busy in wanting what I wanted, and you know what the last words I told mom were?" Ajax furrowed his brows. "That I hated her, that I didn't want to see her again. I never told her I was sorry, I never even told her that I loved her because all I wanted!? was to leave home, and to come to this stupid camp!" she slammed her sword down that Zeus had given to her, and began to cry. Tears dripped down onto the sword where a lightning bolt sat on the handle. Even the shape of the swords blade itself was a lightening bolt.

She finally looked up to her brother, another tear falling from her eyes. Why was their life a lot worse since coming to Camp? it felt as though this place was cursed, yet no-one else's family members turned up dead, harmed, or soulless. Yet. Ajax quickly moved a couple of steps towards her, and she instantly knew he was going to hug her, and feed her the lines of how everything was going to be okay. Nothing was going to be okay, nothing was ever going to feel right at home again without their mom.

She held her hand out to him, causing him to stop making his way towards her. She didn't want to be hugged, she didn't want him, or anyone near her at the moment. "Please, just go... " He couldn't disrespect her wishes, but he didn't want to leave her. "Al..." "GO AWAY!" she shouted, and shoved him out of the room before slamming the door in his face near enough. With the door inches from his nose, he swallowed down the pain from seeing her like this, and left, making sure that he wasn't going far. Alex crashed onto her bed, covered her face, and screamed into the pillow so it was muffled, then began to sob wildly. Her entire world had been turned upside down yet again, and she was pretty sure who had a part to play in the murder. It was odd how Jenn had not been seen by anyone for a long time, and she didn't even show up when a Hydra attacked the Camp. It was obvious that she was working for Hades. Daddy's little Princess who did no wrong.

Ajax didn't even know where to put himself, he was just stood outside of his home to get the fresh air to fill his lungs. It looked like he was looking around for hope, or even a miracle to turn up. Part of him was wishing all of this was just some sick joke, or even a dream... but it wasn't, his mothers death was real.

"Depends who's asking. Yeah I'm Andy. And you are...?" Fair enough response. "Name's Duke."

Duke felt it hadn’t been that long since he left Ajax and Alex but when Alex’s voice came over the PA and said what it did, he knew it wasn’t good news. Andy had said the exact words he was thinking. Part of Duke wanted to leave it alone, let it be their personal business. Maybe they were entitled to privacy and secrets. Maybe Duke needed an interval. So he sat there for some time thinking it over. Until he sighed and got to his feet. He brushed the sand off his pants and ran behind Andy towards the office. There was no harm in playing support close by if the Valis’ needed. If they didn’t want anyone nearby they could just as easily dismiss Duke and Andy. At least they were there and ready.

Duke braked early as he spotted Alex pacing off upset. Ajax bypassed Andy after Alex, saying something to her and it became obvious they didn’t want to share anything or they wouldn’t. Ajax was clearly preoccupied on other dramas. Whatever happened, there wouldn’t be anything right to say to the siblings. He diverted his gaze and felt bad for Andy and Ajax but what else could they do? The timing was all off. "Sorry." He apologized briefly to her, rubbing his neck. They both expected that to go in a different direction. And Andy had taken a leap of faith but surely she understood. Duke looked in the direction the Zeus siblings had disappeared and felt bad that he couldn't do anything to comfort them. He turned on his heel, crossing his arms over his chest and made his way back to his workshop. The least he could do now was be productive in his crafting.

She had just barely made it to the center of camp to see Alex in a flustered rage storm past her. Andy parted her lips to speak but no words escaped. She over heard enough to connect the dots but still did not know what to say or do. She simply stood their bare feet in the grass with her shoes held by the heels in her right hand. Grief is complicated and consoling someone who is grieving is tip toeing a fine line with every word.

Andy inhaled sharply when Ajax came into view. She felt horrible for what he was going through and wanted to be there for him. But in the same moment hearing his voice set her on slight edge, but she didn't let herself show it. He smiled apologetically towards her, "Andy, I will talk to you after, I just... I'll explain everything later. Promise." She nodded her head as he walked away. Who was she to expect his attention when he had more pressing matters? His mother's death is far more important than anything involving herself.

She pivoted on her heels stopping mid motion when her gaze met Duke's. "Sorry." He apologized to her like it was his fault while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Not your fault." Andy needed something to keep her hands and mind busy. She put her shoes back on that she was in too much of a hurry to put on in the first place. Then she walked towards the cabins. She was planning to head for her own but was sidetracked when she saw Wes' demolished cabin. With her mojo back she simply waved a hand and the cabin went back to normal, same with all his belongings. At least she was able to do something useful she thought before reaching her cabin. She walked inside not even bothering to close the door and collapsed backwards onto her bed.

***

“Yeah, well I'll try spare you the trouble.” Wes laughed. “You just…take care of yourself. Be good and stay on top of your training.”

He rolled his eyes slightly. "Yes boss."

He waited a minute or two as he watched her leave before heading back towards camp. On his way back he heard Alex call for Ajax. Then overheard the horrible news. Wes stood idly by watching trying to decide if he should do anything or not. Then Alex headed towards her cabin with Ajax following quickly behind.

Finally Wes decided to go try and help what he felt like was his only friend at camp. He headed directly for the Valis' cabin. He slowed down when he saw Ajax standing outside. He didn't really know what to say so he simply placed his hand on Ajax's shoulder giving it a friendly and reassuring squeeze just so he knew that Wes was there. Not much help but what else could he do. He then climbed the steps up to the cabin. He should have asked permission to enter but he didn't. He was more worried about his friend.

Wes made his way to Alex's room, this time lightly knocking on the door. "Alex... It's Wes." He said quietly. He didn't ask to enter or anything. She'd tell him if she wanted him to come in or go away or whatever else.

Ajax watched as Andy headed towards her own cabin, and as much as part of him wanted to chase after her, he couldn't. His feet were rooted to the wooden floor of his cabin's porch way, dealing with family matters which always came before anything else. Anyone smart enough knew that. Wes made his way over and placed his hand on Ajax's shoulder, causing the son of Zeus to turn his attention to him before Wes gave it a squeeze to reassure him. Ajax nodded once to him, then wandered off towards Duke's place. Ajax didn't bother to stop Wes from going inside to see Alex because maybe Alex needed a friend during a time like this, and so did he. Once he got to Duke's workshop, he knocked on the door before entering. "Duke?" he called out, looking around the place for him.

Alex was still sobbing into her pillow, but the second she heard Wes's voice on the other side of the door, she sat up, wiped her eyes quickly, and parted her lips softly to speak. "Come in." Her voice sounded broken like she was close to crying again, and her eyes looked red and slightly puffy, so it was obvious that she had been crying for a while. She didn't like others seeing her cry because she always thought it was weak of her to show emotions since she was Zeus's daughter, but she still was only half human. People around Camp Athens had never seemed judgemental, but Jenn did. She'd happily hang out anyone's private washing in public.

------» { The Flash Back } »------

Alex was only 10 years old at the time, and Ajax was coming up to his 16th birthday. They had been stuck in the house all day due to the bad weather of rain and storms, but Ajax always entertained his little sister. While still out of breath and tired from the first round, he turned to Alex who was looking up at him. Susanna glanced to them once with a smile. It was always nice to see how much her children loved each other. She was definitely blessed by the Gods. Alex wandered over to her school bag and took out a book. "Can you read to me tonight again? and another horse ride?" she always loved Ajax doing it because he'd make the funny voices go along with what the characters were saying, and it always made her laugh so much before tiring herself out. "Again?" he jokingly sighed as Alex nodded to him with a little chuckled 'yea haha'. She wasn't going to let him rest just yet.

"Please because you always make bedtime & horse rides fun." He couldn't argue with that. Their mother was a good storyteller herself, but the voices were definitely more entertaining. "Of course, I will, but how about we make a deal first, okay? - Go brush your teeth, wash your face, put on your Pj's... then we can start." she grinned excitedly while cupping both of her hands, and stretching out her arms a little as she thought about the little deal her brother was offering. Alex was as stubborn as her brother and her father who she didn't know about at the time. "Do we have a deal?"

"Horse back ride first, then I will" she chuckled. Susanna was smiling at Alex's response while sewing on her crafts table. She was smart. He couldn't believe he had been beaten by a 11 year old. He grinned at her "Fine, one more round." He crouched down for her so he was low enough for her to climb onto his back again for round two. Everything was good now, but their step-father always came home eventually, smelling of smoke and alcohol before demanding their mother to cook him some late night food. Why she remained with him was a mystery to many.

Alex jumped on her brothers back and began to laugh as he pretended to race off like a horse, even adding in the sound effects which made it so much better. The whole time they were both playing, their mother Susanna was Worrying about how she'd be able to cope with her son at Camp soon. Not only did he help with Alex, and kept her the happiest girl in the world, he also helped her around the house since Alex wasn't old enough to do most of the chores just yet, other than to clean her own room which she did with no tantrums. once Ajax had done at least two laps around the room, he placed her down gently and tapped her with his hand. "Go on.. teeth, face, Pj's." he reminded her and watched her quickly head out the room towards the bathroom.

"You're going to have to tell her at some point about you leaving for Camp." Ajax was hoping she wouldn't bring that up until a little closer to the time. "I know, Mom. I have a week until I have to leave, so.. I'll tell her in the... morning." he hesitated. Alex was going to be completely heartbroken since he wouldn't be able to see her for a couple of years. "We both know I have to go, there's no way I can avoid who I am, and who dad is."
"I know. She'll be alright... she'll have to be."
they already knew Alex was going to be trouble from being hurt, and she wouldn't even be able to know the truth about why her big brother had to leave until she's older. All hell was about to break loose.

Wes waited patiently by the door. He'd sit out on their porch all day if necessary to get her to come out. But then he heard her speak softly from the other side of the door, "Come in."

He cleared his throat before slowly opening the door. Wes didn't waste his time trying to smile or make her laugh or anything else like that. Instead he slowly walked across her room to sit beside her on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her and let her rest her head on his shoulder. He didn't say anything and he felt like she didn't want to talk. But it's always nice just having someone there.

***

Andy was in her cabin for maybe 5 minutes and was going stir crazy. She sat up, running her fingers through her hair. She needed to get out... Away. So much has happened since she came to camp that she needed something... Normal. So before she could talk herself out of it, she hopped up and changed her clothes. She grabbed a backpack and tossed her cellphone in there with a bottle of water, a book and sunscreen. She then laced up her hiking boots before heading out of her cabin.

She had noticed the higher cliff that was near where Ajax took her the other day. Andy decided going on a hike would clear her mind so she set down the path and headed towards the cliff. Once there she found another path that was more narrow that lead higher up. It took her a decent amount of time before she reached the top but when she did she was grateful for the view.

Andy set her pack on a large rock before stepping over towards the cliff. The wind blew her hair across her face as she sighed happily at the peacefulness. But that didn't last long because a voice that came from behind her nearly made her lose her balance, "Andromeda it's not safe venturing outside of the camp's boundaries."

She spun around, her expression of shock changing to slight anger when she saw her mother sitting on the rock holding her backpack. "Why are you here?"

Hecate smiled, "Keeping an eye on my Daughter. Making sure she's safe."

Andy stomps over to her, yanking her backpack from her. "Now you care!? You didn't last night!"

"Andromeda..."

"It's Andy." She crossed her arms.

"Andy." She corrected, "I live in the Underworld. I couldn't very well cause problems with the host of where I live."

"Of course not. I'm just your daughter... No one important."

"...Andy?"

"David has more balls than a Goddess... Go figure." She turns back towards the cliff, sitting down Indian style by the edge. "Go away, I came here to be alone."

"You outside of camp boarders... It's dangerous."

"I lived away from camp for 17 years without a problem. I've been in more danger the past couple days I've been here than my entire life... I'll be fine."

Andy faced forward remaining silent for the better part of a half an hour. Finally she managed a glance back over her shoulder in the direction her Mother was in and found her gone. She sighed softly in relief before burying her face in her hands.

“Hey, man. You okay?” Honestly, he wasn't even sure if he was or not since his hands felt like they were beginning to shake slightly. He had handled and seen death more than once before, but not when Death came to the family in the way that it had. His mother - the most kind hearted, strong, bravest woman he had ever known during his entire life was now gone, all because someone decided to murder her within her own home. There was nothing he or anyone could do to bring her back since she wasn't half Goddess. He knew for a fact that Alex would still be in her room, constantly blaming herself for not being there to protect her. Ajax could blame himself too, but this camp needed him which left him split down the middle. Of course, his family always came first, but you wouldn't think anyone would know who your mortal parent is since that information had always been kept a secret. Camp was the only safest place at the time when his powers weren't at their full potential. "I don't know..." the words came out stuttered slightly since he was still practically in shock. He couldn't run away from this like he had before with other problems in his life. He was stuck since it wasn't just himself that he had to try to keep afloat... it was Alex too. Ajax looked up to the only friend he had right now. He looked lost."..Moms dead, Duke. She's dead." his deep voice cracked a little when he realized this was the reality.

***

Alex felt Wes move in next to her, then placed his arm around her shoulder before she tilted her head slowly, allowing her head to rest there on him, but after a couple of seconds of holding herself together, she burst open at the seams, turned her body in towards him, and curled up almost while crying. Tears streamed down her tanned cheeks as she held onto him for dear life since she felt her entire body shutting down, along with her heart still crumbling into pieces. She couldn't speak, or hardly breathe while she hid her face against him, closing herself away from the world, and using Wes as a means to hold her together since she felt like she was losing her mind. Everything had been going perfectly, everything was getting back to normal and they were having a good time, but something just had to eventually come around like Karma. She knew who had killed her, and she knew who helped. She pulled back away from Wes now, but still sitting next to him as she leaned over from the edge of her bed. "She did it..." she said through sobs, not making any sense at all since no names were mentioned. "..She did it... she did it!" she shouted while trembling.

Andy sat there on the edge of the cliff watching the horizon and allowing the wind to toss her hair around freely. It was peaceful up there but she couldn't help her thoughts from running away with her. Hearing of the Valis' losing their Mother only gave her a pit in her stomach of worry about her own Father. She was stubborn and didn't want to talk to him, but she needed to know he was ok.

She grabbed her pack and riffled through everything to pull out her shitty cellphone that she honestly never used. Andy was half surprised it actually had a charge. But to no shock it was filled with no messages. Her heart sank a little. She thought he would at least check in on her but nothing.

With a sigh, she opened it and called her dad. Andy thought the phone would ring forever until there was an answer, "Marine Corps squadron 7 Delta." It wasn't her father. She was quiet for a long second trying to find something to say. "Hello?"

"Hello... Captain Jackson?"

"Andy is that you!? It's great to hear from you. Why didn't you come say bye before you left?"

"It kinda all happened really fast... My mom showed up."

"Yeah, your Father told me she was wanting to spend sometime with you. He'll be happy to hear from you. Want me to patch you threw to his phone?"

"Sure. Thanks." There went the ringing again as she swung her legs over the edge.

"Hello this is Lieutenant Bolton —"

"Dad! It's me Andy. I —"

"I must be away from my phone doing what Lieutenant's do. Just leave me a message and I'll get back to you."

Andy let out a deep sighed sadly, no surprise he was never reachable. She could hardly get a hold of him when she was on base with him. "Hi... Dad... Ummm..." Before she could get anything else out she hung up and tossed it back into her bag. She adjusted her pack so that she could lay back and use it as a pillow. Her hands rested on her stomach as she watched the clouds role over head.

***

Wes wrapped Alex in his arms as she let herself be overcome with tears and grief. He just held her close for however long it would be necessary. His hand gently stroking her arm and back. After along moment she pulled away from him and leaned over the edge of the bed. He shifted so that his hand was still resting upon her back trying to sooth her.

She did it... She did it... she did it!" She shouted.

Wes' face scrunched while his brows furrowed. "Who? How do you know?" He wasn't trying to discredit her but he was unsure. How could she be so certain that she knew who killed her mother? Wes couldn't help but think her judgement might be clouded with grief and sorrow, wanting to blame whomever was easiest. But he would never say it. Now was not the time.

Ajax stood where he was, his arms down by his sides as Duke pulled him into a hug. After a quick few seconds, Ajax hugged him back, his muscular arms firmly around the friend he saw as a big brother. Duke had always been there for him and Alex, and even though he didn't know the exact reason of Ajax's mother's death, he was respective enough to not question it. Ajax was going to bring it up eventually, but hearing his step-father explain everything that he was told to... it hadn't yet sunk into his mind properly that she was truly gone. Forever.

Ajax gently pulled out from their brotherly hug and took a deep labored breath in through his nose before letting it out as a heavy huff. "I thought life was supposed to be better for our families once coming here? - how is it possible that someone--" he cut off with his voice breaking slightly, and slid the palm of his hand down his face, quickly wiping the tears that escaped his eyes. He looked around near his boots and found a chair to sit in. With his legs apart, he rested his elbows on his thighs and leaned over slightly with his fingers entwined. He even began to bob his right knee up and down like it was a twitch. "Someone murdered her." He closed both of his eyes after those words left his mouth, just so he wouldn't lose control and go into a rage. In his head, he was counting backward, causing his bobbing knee to slow down.

Luckily no-one else was present to see their fearless leader breaking down, but they would understand since he is only half human after all, therefore mourning for his mother was completely conventional. Still, Ajax would hide it once his boots cross the threshold of Duke's workshop, and stepping outside into the open where the world now felt like it was slowly caving in on him and suffocating him. "Al is a wreck, and I'm scared of what that'll do to her."

******

"Who? How do you know?"
"I just know." was all she said for now as she began to look for something in her room after quickly wiping her tears away. "You should get some sleep." she was grateful for Wes being there, holding her close to him, and soothing her, but with her being in this distant state of hers!? she seemed to be cut off from herself. She wasn't acting like the Alex everyone knew. "I'll walk it off." A walk was definitely a good idea since everyone else would be tucked up in bed, leaving the camp quiet like an abandoned ghost town.

Being alone was always a good remedy to clear thoughts since it allowed you to focus with no distractions. She grabbed her iPod and began to push the earplugs into her ears after kissing Wes on the cheek as a thank you. Before she spoke again, she hovered one ear plug out to hear since the music kicked in. "If my brother asks? I'm with Daniel, okay?" She needed Wes to just give her brother one white lie, but if it got him into trouble!? then she'd take the blame for it. "Tell him I made you lie for me if he doesn't find me there." Alex was a rare liar, and over very small things when she did it back at home, so this was definitely beyond her.

Andy must have dozed off up there on that cliff because when she woke up the sun was already set, while the temperature was down. She half contemplated staying up there for the night. Pretending that life was normal and that she was just camping or who knows what. But reluctantly she moved to her feet, grabbing her pack, tossing it over her shoulder.

With one last look over her shoulder, Andy then made her way back down the trail. Making her way back into the barriers of the camp gave her a feeling of added safety but also dread. For some reason she couldn't bring herself to go back to her cabin just yet. Instead she made her way to the center of the main field. She reached into her pack, pulling out a blanket. Andy set it on the ground before laying upon it and watching the stars.

***

"I just know." Wes watched her curiously as she searched her room. "You should get some sleep."

"Hey..." He reached out to take her hand. "I don't have to go anywhere. I can stay right here... Sleep on the floor or something so you have company."

"I'll walk it off." Wes sighed, nodding his head. He lightly patted her back when she kissed him on the cheek. "If my brother asks? I'm with Daniel, okay? Tell him I made you lie for me if he doesn't find me there." He didn't agree to either or simply gave her a half hearted smile before getting up and heading out.

He made his way towards an empty cabin considering his was burnt down... Or was. He passed by where his cabin's ruins used to be and caught himself scoff out loud seeing it there like nothing had happened. He glanced around seeing Andy laying out under the stars. He couldn't bring himself to go to bed until he knew Alex was back in her cabin so he decided to go sit with the Hecate girl.

"Hey. You do that?" He motioned towards his cabin.

"Yeah." She sat up on the blanket, offering him a seat.

"Thanks." He moved to sit beside her. Wes let them sit in silence for awhile before asking about the elephant in the room. "How's... Ajax?"

She inhaled sharply, "He uh... Walked off. I didn't follow." Andy chewed on her bottom lip. "...Alex?"

He twiddled his fingers, "She's... Not good." After another minute he motioned towards her blanket, "Mind if I wait here with you?

"Sure."

Did Zeus know!? probably not considering how more important his Golden Throne was to him. Ajax shrugged lightly instead of really saying what was on his mind. If he had!? he had a feeling Duke would have clipped him around the ear for speaking that badly about his father. "How am I suppose to know?" not that it mattered anyway because nobody would be able to bring her back, or even rewind time to stop it from happening. She should have left the house with Andrew and Abel instead of staying by herself. She knew how dangerous it could be.

Why couldn't his father watch over her? especially since he did once love her. God's were selfish and prideful, and they wouldn't lift a damn finger unless there was some personal gain for them. They didn't like showing emotion because it showed weakness, but recently, they had been lucky enough to get some affection from them. For once. "do you honestly think he would care? he's not even here right now. He's up there!" Ajax pointed to the skies, "Sitting his ass on that Golden throne on his, while we all do the dirty work for him." he didn't mean to get angry towards Duke, it was just the stage of grief which was always best to let out. He wanted to release his anger on his father. He placed his hand on Duke's shoulder while apologizing to him. "I'm sorry, Dude... you've always looked out for me. More than he ever has." he wiped his face, then quickly changed the subject. "Maybe I'll feel better in the morning. Do you need help around here tomorrow?" Ajax was just looking for a small outlet to keep his mind preoccupied.

He was scared of his anger getting too much which would make him lash out, so he grabbed his anger by the horns, so to speak, and took control fairly quickly. "Anything you need help with!? I'll do it." Maybe the better option was to relax at home, and have that talk with Andy in the morning, but his mind wouldn't be in the right mindset to have that deep conversation with her that he had wanted before any of this had happened. No doubt she was feeling like crap with how he left her so abruptly, but he had to... for his sister.

Alex appreciated it that Wes was trying to help her, but no one could at the moment. Honestly, she didn't feel at all like herself. While standing in the dark, she made sure no one else was close by, that no one had followed her on her way to Jenn's cabin. Soon as she heard a noise in the forest, she quickly turned her attention in that direction, her warm breath causing a cloud as she let out a breath of air.

Knock Knock Knock.

Alex had finally arrived at Jenn's cabin. The walk there hadn't taken as long as she thought it would. She could have easily flown there, but she needed the extra few minutes to gather her thoughts while slipping around camp to avoid anyone else who might be awake still.

The sound of her knuckles on the wooden door, echoed around the empty forest, causing her heart to beat wildly like a war drum as her legs remained still, and her feet rooted to the earthly ground. It looked as though the trees around the cabin were slowly beginning to close in towards her, but what was more unusual about this situation she had but herself into!? was how the trees seemed to be breathing. Heavily.

Clearly, she was hallucinating in some way and made herself slip into the shadows.

With every second that passed, the air seemed to get thinner. Her lungs felt like they were burning as they forced themselves to take in as much air as they could. The darkness within her was coming, stirring itself up with the rage that was forming up inside her like a volcano that was about to erupt. The darkness wasn't going to stop until it had consumed her.

Never in her life had she felt this emotion so strongly before. She was going to fight. With a couple of deep, steady breaths.. she was ready. She stepped out of the shadows and faced every single dark black mist of smoke that crept through the darkest parts of the forest.

Jenn was in some sort of catatonic state. Loud music blasted in her head from the overbearing music that flowed from her ipod and into her earbuds. She spent nearly the entirety of the day locked with her cabin like she most often times did. Its not like she had any friends in this blasted camp, especially after handing over Ajax to her Father. But like she cared about having friends. She knew in the end that they all would come to an end when her Father claimed Olympus for himself. So until then she would just keep to herself and remain distant. It's better that way.

She probably wouldn't have known someone knocked on her door at all if it weren't for thirst that drew her out from her cave of a bedroom. After walking out of her kitchen with a bottle of water, she saw a shadow through the window on her front door. With a groan she withdrew the earbuds from her ears and shoved them into her pocket.

Jenn twisted the cap off the bottle of water, taking a long drink as she braced herself to open the door. With one more sigh she unlocked the deadbolt and pulled open the door. She wasn't surprised to find Alex standing there. But Jenn's face remained stoic and emotionless. She took another drink of her water before leaning her right shoulder agains the door frame. "What do you want?"

"Good. I'll stop by in the morning then, and give you a hand. It won't be a regular thing." he promised. "I know how much you love your independence when it comes to work." He smiled the best he could before he went to leave Duke's workshop, but paused in the doorway while looking over his shoulder, his right hand resting on the doors frame. ". . .Thanks for always being here for me and Al." he nodded once, then disappeared out of sight before Duke could get the chance to say anything in return. He didn't need to say anything. He stood just outside of the workshop a second, took in a deep breath to inhale the fresh night air, and wandered off in the direction of his cabin. All he needed tonight was a good nights sleep, then he'd make Andy his priority in the morning.

Soon as he got home he took off his boots and left them by the front door where they always left their footwear. "Al..." he called out to her while making his way upstairs, which creaked slightly underneath his feet with every step he took. Well, there was no music coming from her room like she usually had when feeling down -- so people knew to leave her alone -- this time it was too silent. "Al.." he called out again, and knocked on her bedroom door, tapping his knuckles against the dark wood. "You decent?" He carefully made his way inside, peeking his head around slowly before entering. He looked over at her bed, but she was napping in it, and she wasn't in her en-suite bathroom either since the door was wide open. 'No need to panic.. she's probably just gone for a walk' he thought and left the room.

He wouldn't sleep, he'd sit up all night until she got in. He was thinking about going out to look for her, but she probably wanted just an hour or so by herself. He didn't blame her. 'She'll be fine. It's safe at Camp. She won't wander out past the barrier. She's not stupid.' his thoughts carried on to attack him as he lay on his back in bed. Still clothed.

****

Soon as Jenn's door opened, the clouds up above began to turn dark as Alex manipulated a storm that was drifting close with the wind. Her eyes locked deadly onto the brunette in front of her. She felt nothing inside of her, but rage. The words that came out of Jenn's mouth were like nails now a chalkboard. She couldn't believe that Jenn was pretending she didn't know.

Alex's nostrils flared a little as her breathing deepened. Adrenalin was building up quickly inside of her as she unsheathed the sword that was attached to her back. The blade was in the shape of a lightning bolt. An early gift from daddy for her birthday. "I warned you." On the 'you' she pointed the very tip of her sword in Jenn's direction, then swiveled it around in her hand until she was holding it properly again. Before Jenn could say anything else, Alex yelled out as if charging into battle, and spun on her heels in a full circle, swinging the sword with her.

THUMP. was the sound of a severed head hitting the ground.

"Try and harm my family now!" she shouted at the head with blood on her face. She had wanted revenge on her since the second she had gotten the news of her dead mother, but when she thought that it would cure her pain... it didn't. She could still feel it.

She didn't have to wash up since it began to rain, and once realising what the hell she had done, Alex covered her mouth in shock and stumbled backwards. She had taken another Demigods life. Her hands were stained with someone else's blood. She collapsed onto her knees in the wet mud completely soaked through.

Jenn looked up towards the sky as it grew darker upon her arrival. Her gaze fell back to the very temperamental Alex before her. Just the sight of the girl made Jenn take a wary step backwards. Her hands carefully feeling over herself hoping to find a weapon of some sort but with no luck.

"I warned you." Alex pointed a blade at her. Jenn took a deep breath. She mustered what of her powers she could trying to cloak herself in darkness and in shadow but it was too late...

Andy and Wes' attention was drawn towards the quickly accumulating clouds that were circling around a very central location on camp. It seemed a bit odd when the sky was clear not a few moments passed.

"Was that there before?" She bumped her elbow into Wes before nodding her head towards the clouds.

Wes looked towards the sky, "Kinda looks like the clouds Alex made last night when she though Ajax—"

"Try and harm my family now!" He was cut off when they heard shouting come from the forest.

They both looked towards each other with wide eyes, "Oh god..." Without a moments hesitation they were both up on their feet and sprinting into the forest. It seemed like they ran through a wall into a heavy down pour of rain. In seconds they were both drenched. They looked around frantically as they ran until they saw Alex on her knees in the mud.

Andy came to a stop several feet away while Wes bolted towards Alex. He nearly slid to his knees coming to a halt before her. His massive hands cupped her face trying to brush back her soaked hair. "Alex! What happened!? What's going on!?"

Wes' back was to the porch and the massacre of what had just come to pass. He must not of noticed it due to his worry for his friend over any surrounding circumstances. Andy slowly stepped forward, squinting through the rain with her hand on a throwing knife that stuck out of her back pocket. In her mind she expected another monster to come barreling out of the forest. But when her eyes set on a decapitated corpse on the porch of a cabin it felt like the wind had been knocked out of her chest.

There was a lot of things she wanted to do... Ask Alex what in the hell she was thinking, scream, cry, all of the above. But she just stood there staring at the severed head as the rain fell upon it. She was terrified. Not of Alex but of the wrath of Hades. She was already fighting to hold herself together knowing there was a target on her back. But now... Now his daughter was dead. This wasn't good for anyone.

Without a word Andy spun around and sprinted through the forest. Between the heavy rain and her loose hair dangling before her face she could barely see where she was going. Multiple times she fell from slick spots of mud. But she didn't let that stop her, just pushing off the ground and continuing on.

She finally reached the Valis cabin, stumbling her way up the steps. Andy stopped to catch her breath momentarily, resting her forehead against the door. She was fighting everything in her not to cry. She's dead. Plain and simple. There was no way Hades wasn't going to retaliate and take all of their lives. Taking one more deep breath she pushed open the door. Her eyes darted around looking for Ajax but didn't see him. She made her way up the stairs taking them 3 and 4 at a time. If she wasn't so blind sided she would have felt horrible for the muddy mess she was making but now wasn't the time. She'd offer to clean it in the morning.

Andy stopped a few feet away from his bedroom door, just staring at it. A rush of more suppressed emotions were boiling up in her. She didn't really want to face Ajax, and especially didn't want to see his room. But she had no choice. Before she could back out, Andy pushed open the door moving over to his bed side. "Aja—" A lump grew in her throat. She probably looked like some marsh monster but hopefully it hid the swirling confusion of emotions she was feeling.

She just walked over to him and grabbed his hand taking him from his bed. Andy hoped that he wouldn't fight and just come along. She didn't release his hand as she hurried out of his cabin, through the rain and back towards Alex. Something inside of Andy couldn't let go of his hand. Maybe it was the growing fear of Hades, the fear that any moment he'd bring his reckoning. Whatever it was she held it tight until they reached Alex and Wes. Once there Andy stayed back, having a hard time stomaching the sight. Then reluctantly let his hand slip from hers.

At first, she felt like she was hallucinating the presence of Andy and her best friend, but as soon as he slid to her without a care for anything else around them, Alex's wet and slightly bloodshot eyes looked up at him. She kept her slightly dazed eyes on him when he spoke to her, and gently held onto him, her fingers curling into the material on his lower arm as if stopping herself from falling. His voice sounded distant, but he was right there in front of her, He had to be; since she could see him, hear him and smell him. He brushed back her soaked hair while she was shaking from the raindrops racing down her tanned skin. Her lips were slightly blue too, and her knees were covered by the downpour of rain that gathered in a puddle around her. It was like the lights were on, but no one was home. . . .

******

He didn't realise anyone was in the room with him until they said his name, causing him to jolt up in bed quickly. He squinted through the darkness, but couldn't see them at all until the lightning behind them flashed and lit up the room for a quick couple of seconds. "Andy?" he frowned. She looked and smelled like a swamp almost. He didn't have time to say anything else to her, or ask her why she was in his bedroom looking like she did, she just took him by the hand and pulled him with her. Luckily he was dressed still.

She was in a hurry - that was clear - so something wasn't right. Soon as the both of them got outside, Ajax looked up at the swirling storm clouds and the heavy rain that gathered in just one section of the woods. It had to be his sister.

Shit, what's she gone and done now? - I knew I shouldn't have left her. I should have looked for her.

Ajax followed Andy all the way there, and as soon as he saw the severed head, and Alex kneeling on the ground with Wes in front of her, Ajax stepped back in shock. He felt sick to the pit of his stomach. "What have you done!" he shouted, then looked at Jenn's head which was wet, covered in mud and blood. Alex held onto Wes still. That wasn't the best way to approach her, but she had now put everyone in more danger than they were before. No doubt Hades was now going to have all of their heads on a pike, sitting at the front gates of the underworld."What the hell were you thinking?" She wasn't. Without looking at her anymore, Ajax gave his first orders for the night. "Wes, carry her home. . ." He could have done it himself, but he needed to talk to Andy first.

"He's going to kill me" Alex whispered to Wes as she looked away from her brother, and now at her best friend. "David's going to kill me."

Ajax tore his eyes away from the horror scene in front of them, and carefully wrapped his arm around Andy, and lead her under the shelter of a tree. The rain was now going off, and the storm had already left. "Are you alright?" he asked her gently, not caring if she smelled like crap from the mix of rain and mud. She was still beautiful to him under all of it. Even in a situation like this, he always still put others before himself, and that was always one of his redeeming qualities. He brushed the strands of wet hair out of her eyes and removed the leaf that was tangled in her fringe. He couldn't help but smile a little, even with the mood he was in.

As Wes stayed before her, Alex's hands grasped at his arms although her expression was vacant as if she was looking beyond him. He couldn't help but notice her blue lips, "We should get you—"

He was cut off by the arrival of Ajax, "What have you done!" Wes didn't know if yelling at her at this current time would be the best course of action. But he kept silent not wanting to upset either Ajax or Alex. "What the hell were you thinking?... Wes, carry her home..."

"He's going to kill me... David's going to kill me."

He sighed softly, before moving to his feet. "I won't let anyone kill you." He leaned over towards Alex, taking her right arm and draping it along his shoulders. He then slid his left arm under the bend in her knees while his other supported her back. He shifted her weight in his arms but before he pivoted on his heels to head towards her cabin, he looked back towards Ajax. "I don't appreciate being ordered around... I'm doing it for her."

Without another word he headed towards the Valis cabin. Once inside he took her upstairs to her room but before helping her get to bed she needed to be warmed. Plus he figured she wouldn't get any sleep if she tried drenched in rain, mud and whatever else. Wes bumped open her bathroom door with his hip. He gently helped Alex to sit on the edge of the tub as he turned on the warm water. He then placed a fresh towel and her robe on the toilet lid. "You need to get warm... I'll be right in the other room."

After leaving her to bathe Wes roamed the upper halls until he found a closet. He grabbed a spare pillow and blankets before making his way back to Alex's room. On the ground beside her bed Wes made a make shift bed for himself. He figured after everything that's gone on no one should sleep alone, especially not Alex.

***

Andy hardly noticed when Ajax wrapped her in his arms. Her body followed the motions of him leading her under the cover of a tree but her gaze never shifted to look at him, it was transfixed on the bodiless head that laid on the porch.

"Are you alright?"

At first she didn't hear his voice or even register he spoke to her. But in a cloudy haze she allowed her gaze to drift over to him. Part of her wanted to just... word vomit. No, she wasn't ok. She had been internally freaking out for the entire day about what Hades would do to her and David after him breaking her out of the Underworld. Now Alex killed one of Hades children. She wants nothing more to call David and tell him, but she doesn't have a way to contact him or want to jeopardize the quest he is on. But even though all of that is going on in her mind, a dull ringing pushes that back. That even with all that, Ajax's arms which would have made her feel safe just flood her mind with more unhappy thoughts.

"No..." That was all she could manage at first. She slowly pulled herself from his arms. "We're all dead now."

That was the cold and raw truth. There was no way Hades was going to let any of them live, not now. She let her gaze linger on Ajax for a long moment before she headed back towards the lifeless body. As she made her way slowly up the steps of the porch, she removed her flannel shirt. Andy knelt down, laying out the shirt and carefully placed the head upon it. She then tied the material into a make shift bag and hooked it through her belt loop.

"I'm going to bury her." Andy carefully hoisted Jenn's body up and over her shoulder. She wasn't sure if the girl was extremely light or maybe it was some pent up adrenalin but it wasn't that difficult to carry her. "You should make sure your sister is ok."

And that's where she left him. Andy could have buried her at the center of camp but she didn't think that was appropriate. She didn't know Jenn but everyone deserves a beautiful grave with a view. She wasn't sure why she felt the need to take on this burden herself. Maybe it was because her mother, Hecate, had strong ties with the lord of the Underworld. After all Andy could speak to ghosts when they made themselves known to her... and she was outside the camps boundaries.

She took Jenn to the cliff she was at earlier that day. Peaceful and a pleasant view for anyone who wished to visit. With a wave of her hand the grave was dug. Andy carefully put the body in the hole and then place the head as well as she could where it would meet the neck. After climbing back out she filled the grave with a nod of her head while also creating a tombstone.

With that finished, Andy slowly took the path back towards her cabin.

"I won't let anyone kill you." Wes reasured her. She believed him. Since when did Wes ever lie to her? she could not once recall even a white lie since he was always honest with her. He draped her arm along his shoulders and lifted her up into a cradled position; where she gently wrapped her arms around his neck, then bowed down her head so her forehead was against his shoulder. She didn't want to look at the disappointment on her big brothers face. Everyone makes mistakes, anger makes us do and say things that we don't really mean half the time, so she wasn't completely in the wrong, she just allowed her emotions to get the best of her.

With a sigh, she closed her eyes for a moment. She had made everything ten times worst for them at this point. David was going to want to bury her alive at this rate, and she wouldn't try to fight back since she knew she deserved every punishment imaginable for killing his only sister. What if it had been Ajax, or even someone else she cared about that David did the same to? however David was going to be!? she'd accept the consequences.

Once hearing her best friend stand up to who everyone saw as their leader, Alex lifted her head, and opened her eyes to get a slight glimpse at Ajax's reaction. He stood there with his mouth almost agape as he didn't expect those words to come flying out of 'cupids' mouth. Ajax nodded to himself, and pulled an upside down smile in a way that showed he was actually impressed. Alex knew her brother didn't have anything against Wes since he took care of her and didn't want his sister for anything other than to be her friend. He didn't mind anyone on Camp, he just happened to be a little on edge with a lot when it came to Alex.

Once Wes had gotten to Alex's cabin, he took her into the bathroom, then set her down on the edge of the tub while he gathered a couple of things for her. She had her arms hugging her frame while shaking with her lips quivering. "You need to get warm... I'll be right in the other room."

"Th-thank you." she managed to say, her voice shaking along with her body. Once Wes was out of the bathroom, Alex dropped her wet muddy clothes onto the tiled bathroom floor, then tiptoed carefully over to the tub and climbed in. Slowly, she lowered herself into the water with a smile as it unknotted her tense muscles and warmed up every inch of her before sliding down, so she lay on her back instead. She no longer felt the cold, just pure warmth. She hadn't been in there for too long, and soon climbed out before getting dressed into a robe. She then pulled the plug, dried her hair with the towel until it wasn't dripping all over the place, then headed into the bedroom where Wes had made a make shift bed on the floor.

He didn't have to do that, but she was glad that he did since she didn't want to be by herself tonight. She smiled. "I've never had a boy in my room before." she chuckled while closing her bathroom door behind her, then making her way over to her bed.

******

Andy pulled out of his arms, causing him to place them down by his sides as he watched her. What she was saying might have been true, but he wouldn't let anything happen to anyone. "No we're not." he told her, "I won't let it get to that and I'm sure our parents wont let that happen either." he looked to the head that she was wrapping up in her flannel shit, then glanced off to the side a little in thought of his sister. Yes, she was running high on emotions, especially pent up ones, but she still shouldn't have killed another Demigod. Ajax sighed. No matter what Alex did, she was always going to be his sister.

"I'm going to bury her. You should make sure your sister is ok." she left him the second those words left her lips, but he remained standing there as he looked to her and watched her wander out of sight. He clenched his fists, tightened his jaw and kicked a rock that was the same size as a golf ball. It had flung across the path he was stood on, and went into the bushes, clobbering someone on the head. "HEY!" they yelled out, causing Ajax to quickly head towards his and Alex's cabin.

Once he got there, he closed the front door behind him and headed upstairs. First, he went to Alex's room and knocked on her door. He didn't go in, but remained at the door as he spoke through the wood. "Al, you awake?" Alex placed her fingers over her lips to signal to Wes to stay quiet. When he didn't get a response, he wandered off to his own room. He'd check on her first thing in the morning. He knew she was there, because there were muddy footprints through the house which weren't important at this point.

Wes contemplated undressing down to his boxers because those were at least dry and somewhat clean. But he figured that's all he needed was an emotionally... compromised Ajax walking in to find a half naked man in his sister's room. So instead he simply laid back, crossing his arms behind his head. He just stared up at the ceiling, exhaling deeply.

He propped himself up on his elbows when he heard the bathroom door. His head was just high enough to see over the surface of her bed towards Alex. I've never had a boy in my room before."

She smiled which made him also smile and laugh at her comment. "Well don't tell your brother. I don't need another reason for him to hate me."

It wasn't but a few moments later that he heard a knock on the door. Wes sat up looking between Alex and the door when he heard Ajax's voice. "Al, you awake?" He looked back to Alex to see her motion for him to be quiet. So he just sat there and waited until Ajax left, and then waited a bit more.

"Get some sleep. I'm right here, don't hesitate from waking me up. Ok?" He pats her hand before laying back down. It didn't take long after closing his eyes for sleep to overcome him.

***

Andy tried to keep herself together as she trudged through the woods back towards her cabin. Part of her wanted to go back to Ajax, to just... Cry or say nothing, but to have someone else there. But he lost his mother and lord knows what else. So she figured he'd come to her if he needed her.

When she reached her cabin, Andy went straight for the shower. She didn't undress or anything, just sat at the bottom of the tub while the water cascaded over her. She held her legs to her chest, resting her cheek upon her knees. She sat there long past when the water ran clean and went cold, nearly to the point to where she was falling asleep. But eventually she pulled herself out, changing into dry clothes and falling into bed. Once her head hit the pillow it took her no time at all to drift into a much needed sleep.

"Get some sleep. I'm right here, don't hesitate from waking me up. Ok?"

"Okay" her voice was gentle like a soft breeze before she laid down and closed her eyes. She kept still with one knee bent slightly up towards her chest since that was comfy for her, but she couldn't sleep. Not yet. Alex rolled onto her back causing her bed to creak slightly under her weight with her arm resting on her forehead. With a gentle sigh from her nose, her mind raced through the horrific flashbacks that would probably now haunt her until time decides to heal. Alex had killed a young Demigod girl that could no longer enjoy every second of life, or even feel the warmth of the sun on her skin. Tears trickled down her temples before she rolled over onto her other side so her back was to Wes. She didn't want him to see her crying again since her reputation of being brave and strong had completely gone out of the window tonight. She should never have left Wes's side, she should have told him to keep her locked away in her room, but then again she would have escaped like some ninja out of the window. He could have tried to tie her up like a hostage, but her strength and stamina wouldn't have allowed her to remain bonded forever. She wiped the tears silently from her eyes.

If her mother had still been alive, she would have been disgusted by the actions her daughter had taken. Alex acted on her own impulses by using her heart instead of her mind. If she was to fall asleep tonight, then she hoped that she would not wake up the next day. She didn't deserve to see the sunrise ever again. Unknowingly, Alex had fallen fast asleep.

******

Ajax couldn't sleep either since half of him was still worried about Andy. After what she saw tonight, she was bound to be uneasy and scared by herself since no-one knew what Hade's would now be capable of with the death of his only daughter. Ajax headed out and made his way to the canteen first. They sold alcohol at the late night bar as it was a Friday night. No one did anything over the weekend, so there was plenty of time to cure a hangover the next day.

Soon as he entered and took his place at the front of the bar, the other staff members were in there having a game of cards. "You wanna join us, Aj?" one of them asked while holding fanned out cards in their hand.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not staying for long, guys. Just having a quick one tonight."

"Alright, mate." they left Ajax to it since they knew something must have definitely been bugging him. They had no clue about the demigod murder, but they would no doubt find out sooner or later.

"Whats your poison tonight?"
"Your strongest Whiskey." he couldn't be bothered to make any other choices, he just wanted something strong, and get the hell out before he gets smothered to death by his own inner conscience. He should never have let Alex be on her own, he should never have taken his eyes off of her. He knew she might end up doing something irrational with her overwhelmed pain and anger.

He knocked back a couple of shots that he had laid out in front of them, and didn't stop until they were all completely empty. Drowning his own pain at the bottom of a bottle wasn't the answer. He was definitely not an alcoholic, but he enjoyed his liquor from time to time, especially when those times were a reality of hell that he was living in. Andy was completely right, Hades wasn't going to go soft on them anymore, he was going to rain down his wrath. How was his father not even around at a time like this!? did he not care about what his daughter did? or did he see justice was served for having their mother killed within her own home? but how did fighting fire with fire ever solve anything? it never did, and never will.

Past moments with Alex when she was feeling on top of the world had rushed to him as he left the bar, stumbling slightly towards Andy's cabin. She probably wouldn't want to see him, but he wanted to see her. Ajax remembered holding Alex's hand as they sat together. "Remember when we were kids and we promised each other to never grow up, or leave one another? - I'm going to keep that promise."

He didn't notice the rain as he got close to Andy's cabin, but with the fresh air hitting him, it made him feel slightly drunk, dizzy and sick. It was like he had been drugged, but he was 100% certain none of the staff members would have spiked his drink. He came to a halt on the path, his black combat boots stepping across the muddy puddled forest earth. He wasn't too far away from Andy's cabin that she could probably catch sight of him out of her window. He scrunched up his eyes while leaning over slightly, tightening his jaw as he stabled his slightly swaying body. It was like he was about to either throw up or pass out with how the air knocked him for six so quickly. He shouldn't have knocked back all the shots. He didn't need so much, but he just needed a night cap to help him sleep peacefully for just tonight since there was more drama heading their way soon enough.

He crouched down to the balls of his feet, and hung his head down a second, then looked up towards Andy's cabin. He couldn't see if she was actually home, but he stumbled to his feet and headed up towards her front door before knocking his knuckles against the wood. He took one step back. He felt and looked like a drowned rat on her porchway. Hopefully, she wasn't going to be too angry with him to show some hospitality for the night.

After Ajax had climbed into the bed with Andy, morning soon came and he found himself hugging her with one arm in a spooning position. His muscles clenched a little as he pulled her in just a little more as he felt comfy where he was. A smile grew across his lips before he slowly moved away. He didn't want to wake her as it was pretty early. So it seemed.

He climbed out of bed to stretch before wandering into the bathroom where his clothes had all night to dry out. He placed them on, and headed into the kitchen, flipping on the kettles switch so he could make coffee for the both of them, assuming she liked coffee. As the kettle boiled behind him, Ajax leaned against the counter with a magazine in his hands, just flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures. Reading wasn't something he was really into, but he did enjoy books from time to time about myths, legends and stories with truth behind them.

The kettle eventually began to whistle loudly with a cloud of steam floating up towards the Kitchen Cabinets, so Ajax turned it off before he picked it up by the handle of course. He poured the boiling water into two mugs, and began to mix everything else together. "I made you a coffee." he said it through her bedroom door, then placed himself on her counch in the lounge. He was watching the TV while sipping his warm drink. Hopefully she wouldn't mind that he was making himself at home. Usually he wouldn't, but he felt comfortable around her.

***********************************************************

So yesterday wasn't a nightmare since Wes was still laying on her floor. She sat there waching him for a moment while lost in thought. She knew the consequences, and it was now only kicking in that she has put everyone in danger. Maybe if she left camp and handed herself over to Hades, he'd leave everyone else alone, but she doubted it. Hades had always wanted to cripple the other Gods, to get under their skin. Their children were the perfect leverage to getting everything he wanted and more. Hw had never been a satisfied grateful God. He always wanted more. She was dreading David's return to camp and even facing the others if they had caught news of what had happened. Everyone would now probably hate her, then nickname her Demigod murderer. On of their many rules. . . never kill your own kind. Alex had broken that rule now for sure.

Andy was able to fall asleep quickly but the slumber was not peaceful. It wasn't long before another nightmare shook her from her sleep sending her upright in her bed. After long moments of catching her breath and calming herself, she allowed herself to lay back but not go to sleep. What was coming sat unwell on her stomach and she couldn't help but feel one decision on her part sent a downward domino effect that she couldn't escape.

When Ajax's arm laid over her, she simply looked towards him. The sensation was both of comfort and aching. Was it possible to want to pull him closer yet shove him away? Andy felt as such but she let him be. She could tell when he had woke up but her head was turned the other way. That's all she needed was to worry him about her sleeping habits or lack there of. So she remained in bed until he headed out of her bedroom fully dressed. She was up and getting dressed when Ajax called out towards her. "I made you a coffee."

Andy made her way out of her room and towards him. She reached out to take the available coffee cup on the table. "Thanks." She brought the rim to her lips just as she looked up to glance out the window. Just as she did she saw David walk past looking like the news had already reached his ears. Andy nearly dropped the mug as her hands fumbled to set it on the table. It was obvious whatever heart to hearts she was going to get out of Ajax for the time being was last night while he had alcohol in his system. She hated being rude... But David was also her friend. "I... Gotta go. I'm sorry. Make yourself at home."

Without a seconds hesitation she barreled out of her cabin, sprinting in the direction she saw David walking. It didn't take long for her to reach him at the grave. She came to a halt just beyond the tree line, taking a couple deep breaths from the run. Seeing him like that broke her heart. "...David?" She took another deep breath as she stepped towards him. "I'm sorry." She kicked herself over the word choice, most people grieving hated someone's pity. "I arrived too late. If I would of known... I would have gotten there sooner."

She chewed her lip. Andy wouldn't blame him if he shooed her away. But until he did, she slowly moved towards him until she was standing a few feet behind him staring at the grave. "I couldn't leave her there..." She whispered, her voice cracking. "I thought this was the prettiest place in camp. If you don't like it I can move her." Andy hesitated before lightly resting her hand upon his shoulder.

***

Sleeping on the floor is never the best night of slumber but between the crazy events at camp and rollercoaster of emotions he definitely was out like a light. He slept soundly until the morning when a loud snore roared in his chest, loud enough to wake him up. He sat upright on his makeshift bed groggily looking around. "Huh... Where am I?" He rubbed his eyes before letting his gaze settle on Alex. "Oh yeah." He laughed weakly.

Wes placed his hand on the edge of her bed to aid himself when standing up. It seemed that when he moved every joint popped in his body. "Son of a — oh my god." He groaned before plopping down on her bed beside her. "Next time we're just spooning. I don't even care." He chuckled looking over at her. Sure it was a very pathetic attempt to distract her mind. But he could tell that everything was weighing heavily on her.

He stretched before leaning back on his hands that rested upon the bed. "So beautiful, how can we turn that frown upside down today?"

Ajax didn't blame Andy for up and leaving him in her cabin since he had done the same to her. Besides, it was probably for the best as Ajax wasn't really in the right zone to be completely warm to her - since he was worried about Camp, the other's and Alex. He quickly drank his drink and rushed out of Andys Cabin, making sure he closed her door behind him before heading off towards the forest where there was a cave. This idea was not exactly a good one, but he at least had to try something. He had heard stories, Myths, and Legends of the Moirai. Why were they so close to the camp, though? that had confused him since they had always been close to the labyrinth for home choice, but here they were.

Once entering the cave and passing the threshold, Ajax was stuck in a kind of limbo while looking at three white-robed incarnations, who were known as Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Everything around them seemed to slow down like they were stuck in a time warp. His black boots stepped slowly closer, but they didn't even had to turn to face him to know who was there. "We've been expecting you," The Moirai controlled the mother thread of life for every single mortal, right from birth to death. Every God and Human Being had to submit to them, but Zeus's relationship with them was entirely different. He was the only one who could control and command them. Their faces were covered with white veils. "Son of Zeus." Ajax stopped in his tracks as they now began to turn to look at him. Her voice seemed to echo magically like soft whispers.

"I need you to do something for me."
"Not possible." the second sister told him. She already knew what he was going to ask of them.
"Then do it for my Father."
"It's too late. Your fates are set in motion" The third sister added.
"and you, our dear boy,"
"were brought back from the dead once by us."
"You shall not avoid death for the second time."
"Just bring back our mother and Jenna. Stop the war before it happens."
"We can't."
"This is fate."

The Adam's apple in his throat bobbed as he swallowed with sadness in his eyes. He didn't blame Alex for emotionally snapping at the enemies daughters, but Alex didn't have solid proof that it was here, just hearsay, but no one would lie knowing that their lives would be at risk if the Daughter of a King had a temporary break down over the death of her mother. "There is one thing." The first sister moved over to a large black pot which you'd believe to have witches gathering around it forming spells, but only one, the other two were severing the threads of lives and remaking new ones which sparkled. It was like a spiders web of threds covered in morning dew. "You must sacrifise one life to save all of you from Hades."

"No. That's not an option."
"It's the only option you have left."
"I said no." He glared at her, causing her to smile. Ajax was exactly like his father, always putting others before himself.
"You can't always protect them, Son of Zeus."
"I'll die trying."

With that, Ajax turned and left the time warp where everything was back to normal. He did glance once over his shoulders to the Moirai, but they were gone. Ajax let out a sigh. This plan had been an absolute waste of time and there was no point in calling out to his Father since the Gods were probably preparing for war already. As Ajax wandered back to Camp, he noticed Andy was infact with David at Jenn's grave, and for the first time, Ajax felt sorry for him since he knew exactly how it felt to lose someone that is a family member. He would of given his condolences, but David was more likely to punch him in the face since what Alex had done on impulse.

***********************************************************

"Next time we're just spooning. I don't even care." Alex looked to him and raised her brow before placing one of her rings onto her bedside table and chuckling. Even though she wasn't in the mood, he always had something up his sleeves to lighten the dark mood or make a boring situation more durable, or more entertaining. He placed himself beside her as she sat on the edge of her bed with her knees apart a little, and her hands on top of them. "So beautiful, how can we turn that frown upside down today?"

"That depends. Are you afraid of heights?" She didn't tell him what she meant by that, but instead she showed him. She took him to the one place she went to where she'd be alone to think, but Ajax always managed to find her. It was in a hidden clearing near Lake Nala where her father's gift to her remained for the time being.

For now, nothing was there."His name is Pegasus. He was my Father's, but he knows how much I love horses." Alex also had a Hawk named Thunder which was looked after by her step-father. He loves birds of prey. Alex whistled, and down swooped Pegasus. He was large, black, and elegant as he made his way to the ground. Rumors were he was a white Godly horse, but those rumors had been wrong of course.

He landed perfectly in front of them with his large spanned wings folding back against the sides of his body. He blew air out of his nostrils, causing Alex to smile. "He likes you." The day Zeus gave him to her, she was the happiest girl in the world, though Ajax saw it as buttering up his sister so she'd easily forgive him, but she did anyway. Daddy's little girl after all. Alex walked over to her baby, and began to stroke the palm of her hand slowly and softly down his soft nose, then moved her hand down the side of his neck. "Beautiful isn't he?" she said while looking into Pegasus's eye. He was happy to see her. She kisses the soft skin outside of his nostril.

Andy felt horrible that she couldn't even be there for a fraction of the amount that he was for her. At this moment she definitely felt like she didn't deserve his friendship. When her hand rested on his shoulder he finally glanced over his shoulder towards her. "Don’t move her." She nodded her head. "Thank you for...doing that."

"Of course." Andy let her hand slip from his shoulder when he moved to his feet.

The next words that came out of his mouth surprised her. "You said you were there. How'd she die? Who killed her?"

She inhaled a deep and shaky breath. Her hands begin to twiddle as her gaze fell to her feet. Her stomach started to turn and not as the sight of last night crept back into her mind. It seemed the more things that happened at camp the more they shook her up. She expected the monsters and 'bad guys' but a Demi-God killing another bothered her in more ways than she could count. "D-David..."

"Please Andy. You got to help me out here."

Her gaze lifted to meet his. Andy could see how much he needed to know but she also knew the moment she told him she would be stuck in the middle of something where she'd have to choose a side... Could she?

Andy brushed some of the loose strands of her hair back behind her ears preparing herself to speak. "It started with word that spread around camp about the Valis' mother being killed.... Everyone knew it was Hades but I thought that was that. And that we'd cross that bridge when we came to it." She was rambling and was having a hard time looking him in the eyes. She felt guilty even though she didn't do anything. It was an unsettling feeling that's been creeping up inside her since she came back from the Underworld and the arrival of her nightmares.

"Then there was nothing until I saw the thunderstorm. Something told me that it was bad... I tried to get there as fast as I could. If I would of known that that was what Alex was going to do I would have... protected Jennova and stopped Alex. But I was too late." Her voice cracked and a tear ran down her cheek. "I should have know. I should have been there... I didn't know she was capable of that. Not after everything you've done for her and Ajax."

Andy just stood there in silence when she finished, finally looking up to meet his gaze. Even though Alex was Andy's friend and Ajax's sister she couldn't defend her actions. She didn't want to be the one who told David, but she refused to keep what happened from him. If she didn't tell him someone else would have and sometimes words from friends are easier taken then words from strangers.

***

"That depends. Are you afraid of heights?" Yes, yes he was. But instead Wes let her lead him where ever. But when the time comes he'd be much more content with his feet firmly upon the ground.

He followed her until they were in a clearing near the lake. "His name is Pegasus. He was my Father's, but he knows how much I love horses."

"Nifty." Wes said with obvious discomfort in his voice but he tried to mask it with a chuckle and a smile.

He watched, from a good distance, as Alex whistled calling down the massive winged horse who landed before her like he had done it hundreds of times. "He likes you."

Alex's smile made him smile genuinely a bit but still keep his distance. "I don't see it... But that's fine, he can stay over there." He laughed halfheartedly.

She walked over to Pegasus and began to pet along its snout. "Beautiful isn't he?"

"A lot better looking then a Minotaur and Hydra... That's for sure."

She wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but when she looked at the ground by Pegasus's hooves, blood began to slowly seep out of the soil. She tilted her head, her gaze fixated on it for a couple of seconds. She could hear silent whispers, but they weren't in English, they were in Greek. At this point, Alex thought she was losing her mind, it was like the Earth was crying with tears of blood. Alex never took her eyes away from what was playing out in front of her, until she realized she had still been with Pegasus & Wes.

She tore her eyes away from the blood - that had suddenly disappeared - and placed her attention back to her friend. After everything David had done for her, Alex had stabbed him in the back. She shouldn't have let her anger get the best of her, or the pain to swallow her up into the shadows where she almost lost herself entirely. She wished with all her heart that she could go back in time and handle it differently, but now, it had been too late. Her hands were stained with the blood of another Demigod.

"Wes, I..." she cut off, dreading the thought of her best friend not believing a single word that was about to fall out of her mouth. Her hand slowly slid down Pegasus's neck, but still remained on him. Pegasus could sense that she was upset, so he softly nudged her with his muzzle, then wrapped one of his large black wings around her to comfort her. She smiled at Pegasus and stroked his mane. "I... I'm not a killer. Son of Apollo overheard her plotting with Hades to kill my mother. That plot came true. I didn't mean to lash out how I did, but she was my mother, Wes... Demigods should never kill each other, I know this, but what about the crime against a Demigod who kills a mortal? what else was I suppose to do?" she sighed.

"You believe me, d.. don't you?" She looked like she was seconds from crying as her world was slowly crumbling beneath her feet. So it felt. She had never lied, only when she was younger since she wanted to avoid being grounded. Jenn would do anything to be her father's favorite.

"Just goes to show you can’t really count on anyone," David Mumbled. "Thank you."

Andy felt terrible. Not because she felt like she was betraying anyone, but because of the cruel truth behind the death of Jennova. Andy could hardly believe it as much as David could. He went out of his way to help her and now his sister is dead at her hands. It's unknown if Jennova was behind the Valis' mother's death but Andy was never one to think that you should solve violence with more violence.

Her mind stopped looping in circles when David looked back towards her, "Don't get caught in the crossfire, Andy."

The sentence took her by surprise. Don't get caught in the crossfire. The real question was how couldn't she? David was her friend. And at the current standing she was drawn more to his side. But then Alex is Ajax's sister. She didn't like where any of this was going and something in her gut told her at some point she'd have to choose a side.

Before David got too far away, Andy jogged to catch up with him. She stopped before him, lightly placing her hands on his shoulders to stop him. "I know you said you can't count on anyone... But I want you can count on me." Although David definitely wasn't the physical contact type. Andy slowly brought her arms around him and embraced him tenderly. "I'm here for you... Whenever or whatever. Ok?"

***

"Wes, I..." Wes was just looking around at the scenery until Alex got his attention. He was too focused on trying to make sure she didn't take him up into the air that he hadn't realize what little happiness she had had faded.

"I... I'm not a killer. Son of Apollo overheard her plotting with Hades to kill my mother. That plot came true. I didn't mean to lash out how I did, but she was my mother, Wes... Demigods should never kill each other, I know this, but what about the crime against a Demigod who kills a mortal? what else was I suppose to do? You believe me, d.. don't you?"

"Of course I do." That was the truth. But he kept the other truths to himself. He worried what was going to happen back at camp. He worried about a civil war breaking out between the campers over this. Who would side with Alex? Obviously himself and Ajax... But Who else? Who would side with David? So many people would be thrown in the middle forced to choose or be forced into the situation.

He didn't like any of it. He knew Alex was a good person. No, he didn't think what she did was right but he also knew that her judgement was clouded. It was a complicated situation and it worried him. They didn't have time to fight amongst themselves when there was a bigger war at their doorstep.

When Daniel explained how to at least defeat the monsters he had conjured, his first thoughts quickly snapped to Alex and Andy before Daniel even reassured the son of Zeus that they weren't a part of this twisted nightmare. "You seriously have issues" Ajax commented about the things Daniel conjured up straight from his mind. Ajax didn't even know what these monsters looked like, or anything, but he was surely going to find out soon enough. "Duke..." he turned to look at him when he heard his 'big brothers' voice and noticed how hurt Trinity was as his eyes quickly snapped over to her. "Trin.." he rushed over to her without a second to lose. He placed his hand carefully against his arm while bending down to her slightly and looking past her blonde messed curls to her eyes. He tucked her hair gently behind her ear with his hand while worryingly looking her over. "This has to stop!" Ajax snapped, turning to Daniel who Ajax didn't want looking like he did either. "What made you think about getting her involved?" he knew she could handle herself, but it was beside the point. She was vital to the upcoming war. Everyone was. "Don't answer that." he quickly added. "Come on.." Ajax flicked his hand and wrist for him to get up, but he didn't let Daniel get up by himself. Ajax hoisted him over his shoulder into a fireman's lift, his muscular biceps tense with the strength they packed. "Duke, you take Trin to the med hut, and I'll carry Merlin Jr; here." he led the way.

Once there, he carefully placed Daniel into one of the beds. "I'm going have to go finish those things off."

{{ Decided to post with just Ajax for now. Will add Alex in the morning as I feel sick tonight with a headache coming. }}

[i]He never expected anything less to come from Trinity, the fire in her burned the same as her Fathers. Of course, she wanted to help clear the rest of the mess up, even if she looked half broken. Honestly, Ajax did sound crazy for wanting to tackle it alone, but it wasn't like those things could get close to him without feeling what 3,000+ volts felt like. "Obviously she's not broken just yet," Duke noted. Ajax looked at him and smiled a little. He couldn't help it since it was true. "Alright," even if he had said no, she would have followed him anyway, so he had no choice but to let her tag along. He let out a defeated huff from his nostrils.

"But you must stick with me, okay? don't go wandering off to do something by yourself." Since his birth it had been in his blood to be a protector, the one who leads them to safely through the endless dark times. Deep down he had his doubts if he was the one for the job.

Just as he had mentally and physically prepared himself to leave with Trinity, and possibly Duke, Daniel went on about some party. Even though the timing had been wrong, maybe a party would help bring them back together. There was one alarming thought on his mind, though... What if it were an invitation for everyone to mentally throw stones at his sister? he knew she had been wrong to kill another Demigod, that had been one of the rules, but Alex must have had a reason. A good reason. His sister wasn't a psychotic killer, she had always been passionate, caring and loving. Yes, she has flaws like everyone else, but she definitely wasn't a killer. "We'll how it goes. Set up the party for tonight if that's the plan" Ajax told him in a calm voice. "It could help everyone let their hair down for a couple of hours. This place never seems to let us rest for five minutes." Just as those words had left him, another voice appeared outside.

With a frown, Ajax headed to the opening of the tent, his eyes then resting on Theo. "I heard a mess all the way from my cabin, so I ran down here. Obviously you guys didn't need me though. It appears all is under control."

"Not exactly," Ajax told him, stepping around Trinity carefully. "There might be more...Wendigo's" He pronounced the word like Daniel had told him, "Out there. Hopefully they're all dealt with. Daniel said they have to be burnt, or have their heads removed. Easy as pie, right? - so you fancy coming on a hunting trip with us?" Theo actually seemed like the best choice, what with his marksman skills that never missed, his ability to track and all that good stuff.

{ I'm stuck with Alex, so I'll just leave her out for now D: sorry. }

Andy couldn't help but smile slightly when David hugged her back. She knew it must be hard for him and regardless if he wanted to admit it or not he needed a friend. Even if she was his only friend that was better than nothing. She would trust him with her life and would also do anything to protect her friend. But over anything she just wanted him to know that she was there for him.

"Ok," he said slowly pulling away from her. "You're a good person, Andy."

She smiled, "So are you... Even if you don't know it." Andy knew she had already over stayed her welcome and didn't want to keep him any longer. She placed her hand gently on his shoulder in passing, "If you need me... Anytime. You know where I am." She gave him one last reassuring smile before parting ways and heading back to her cabin.

Andy spent most of the day training by herself. It was a way for her to clear her mind while also trying to fully understand what might be coming their way. There was already a war coming but with the previous two evenings she couldn't help but feel things were going to get a whole lot worse. A good handful of campers had targets on their backs, and no doubt Andy was one of them.

When the sun started to sink behind the tree line she headed back to her cabin. Andy wasn't sure if she was going to attend a party. Yes it was her brother's but she was never much of the partying type. But in the same breath it may be good for morale and sure enough if she didn't show it'd only be a matter of time before someone came and dragged her along.

As she was shower, unable to push the thoughts of the impending war from her mind, an idea struck her. Andy quickly raced out of the shower and threw on her outfit. She wanted to reach Daniel's cabin before any other partiers got there. While jogging to his house she put her hair in a messy braid, tying the ribbon as she reached his porch.

Andy didn't wait on the porch, and instead barged right in. "Daniel!" She walked throughout the cabin searching every room for him.

***

After meeting the Pegasus, Wes left Alex alone. She knew he was there for her where ever and whenever she needed him. But he figured if anything she needed sometime along to just let everything sink in.

He was less than thrilled at the idea of another part after the campfire two nights ago. He had half a mind not to go but Wes also figured Alex would probably go. He wasn't sure what everyone at camp had heard or what they would say. That scared him. So if anything he would go and act as some sort of buffer. He might not be that intimidating but... It's better than nothing.

After taking his own sweet time showering and getting ready, Wes decided to head out of his cabin. He glanced at his watch realizing he would be a little early. So instead of heading straight there he detoured towards his favorite Blonde's cabin. He hadn't had a chance to talk to her about her quest or anything since she returned so he thought it'd hopefully bring good news to distract from the bad.

He headed up onto Trinity's porch, raising his hand to knock upon the door. "Hey there Xenia. Came to see if you wanted to escort an annoying Ken to a party." Wes shifted so that his right shoulder leaned against the door frame as he waited.

As Wes left, Alex remained with Pegasus, her hand stroking the side of his nose gently as she looked into his large brown eye. "You want to go for a ride boy?" he began to lightly dance on the spot, his four legs prancing like a graceful dressage horse. It was adorable and it caused her to chuckle. "I'll take that as a definite yes." She flung herself up onto his bare back, fitting herself just behind his wings. It was comfier for him that way. With his black wings closing back around her sides to help keep her in place, she held onto his mane carefully as reigns before lightly tapping her heels against his sides, causing him to trot forward. With each step that his hoofs took on the edge of the beach, they left prints in the sand before he had broken into a steady canter, and that's when it began to dawn on her. "David will come for you." she turned her head towards Camp but kept heading across the beach. "Might as well face your fate."

"Whoah, boy." she slowed down into a trot, a walk, then headed down the path towards the center of the camp, turning him in the direction she needed to go. Word got to her that there was a party, and honestly!? she wasn't up to it, not one bit, but with Daniel being the host... well it would be rude to not turn up for him. He'd no doubt be expecting her more than anyone else. Of course, at the back of her mind, she knew David would be there, hopefully, a word about Jenn had not reached his ears just yet. If she could have the opportunity to just speak to him alone after a few drinks, then she could maybe defend her own side!? but would an intoxicated David be even more dangerous than he already is?

She had to remember that she was still practically new at camp, not as strong as her brother yet, and that David had been here the same time as Ajax near enough. "God's give me strength" she said, looking up to the sky before climbing off of Pegasus once outside of her cabin. The lights were already lit inside, so no doubt Ajax had been in and out of the shower already. She kissed Pegasus on his nose and hugged him, her arms wrapping around his neck. It was nice to know that he would love her unconditionally, come rain or shine, he'd be there if no-one else would be after this. "I'll see you soon. Stay safe my winged friend." He whinnied happily before placing his forehead to hers, which made Alex close her eyes with the palm of her hand resting again his warm cheek. She swallowed gently before he nudged her softly, causing her to open her eyes and smile. While standing there, she watched him take to the skies, leaving her momentarily alone on the ground.

***

The front door went, and Ajax appeared at the top of the stairs, his arms leaning on the banister while looking down at his little sister. She looked a mess. "Where have you been? You need to get ready for tonight since Daniels having a party, so come on. The showers free." Alex kicked off her boots after closing the front door behind her, then jogged straight on upstairs, turning into her room which was across from her brothers. He was in there getting dressed since the door had now been shut, so Alex quickly jumped into the shower after laying the outfit she had planned at the bottom of her bed, and only took 30 minutes or so until she got back out. She was feeling so much better with being fresh. "Are you decent?"

"Hold on." Ajax waited outside of her door as she flung her dressing gown around her for now, and slipped her feet into her warm slippers. "Now I am." He wandered in, looking to her with a small smile.

"Maybe tonight isn't such a good idea for us. I know Daniel may be expecting you to show up, but I think he might know about... Jenn. He's smart, he'll work out that you're grieving."

"I feel bad, but I shouldn't have to grieve over someone who murdered our mother."

"Al, you don't even have solid proof of anything."

"So you don't believe your own sister? - I would never lie to anyone. Especially not to you and Duke. You know I'm not a killer. Apollo's son overheard Jenn talking to Hades through some portal. Why would he lie to me? No-one would lie other than Hades's offspring. They've had it in for us since the day we were born! She had no right to take our mother away."

"Al, please... just--"

"No. I'm going, and that's final." he let out a sigh, and stood there for a second or two, watching her get her clothes ready before he left the room. Hopefully, no-one else was going to be killed tonight.

With her brother off getting drinks after they arrived at the party, everyone who had shown up before them were already enjoying themselves with the music on their phone since the DJ wasn't anywhere in sight yet. Alex wandered through the dance floor with one of Apollo's daughters, heading to a place where they could sit and talk. Ajax made sure she wasn't out of sight too far since David could turn up at any minute.

Alex took a glance at her brother and noticed he was carrying four drinks over. One for the girls, one for Duke when he arrives, and one for himself.

"Do you think David will show up tonight?"
"I don't know, why? are you secretly having a crush on him?"
"Ewh no.. I'd be insane if I wanted to date someone who wants to kill me."

"What exactly did you do to upset him anyway? I mean, he's usually pretty laid back, isn't he? unless something really pisses him off. What are you worried about?" Alex couldn't lie to her, she knew something was off since Alex kept looking around, and every time she thought she caught a glimpse of David, her stomach dropped. "It's not like you to lie, Al. What's going on?" she wasn't going to let it go, so just as Alex was about to confess her regrettable sin, her brother stopped her.

"Nothings going on, so drop it." the girl glared at him before wandering off with her drink that he had placed onto the table and joined her other friends instead.

"Thanks a lot."
"She was asking too many questions."
"People are going to end up finding out eventually anyway. You honestly think Davids going to keep quiet about it just for a party?"
"I'll be shocked if he does."

Despite his antsy behavior, he was sure to arrive late to the point that familiar faces were already stumbling around the house and laughing hysterically and their normal filter was lost to the alcohol. He didn't think he had waited that long but some were light weights and had no self control as it was, but it suited him fine either way. David just wanted to slip into the party for a while, preferably under the radar but most of all avoid discussion of his loss.

He entered the threshold of distasteful merriment only adding to David's bitterness. Did they learn nothing when Hades poisoned Ajax? Did they learn nothing in Andy's torture and Ajax's soul misplacement? Just what Hades blood was capable of.
Spotting Alex across the room, he was only reinforced there was no way to contain the overwhelming desire to kill her. Usually he was a non believer but with his mind unwavering, David considered it Alex's fate. There was no way to escape him. The mere sight was enough to fuel him with hatred even when he worked so hard to convince himself not to kill her on sight, which was part of the reason he was late too.
A man he knew only by face approached and handed him a drink. "Here you go. Sorry for your loss." David stared coldly at him which soon set him on his own way, calling out to a friend and disappearing in the crowd. David made quick work of the drink and placed the empty glass on the nearest surface. The content had a certain extra kick in it probably enhanced by someone's power but his intentions remained the same. A few more of them and who knew, maybe he'd lose his right mind and be in a drunken state like others. It wasn't even that bad of a drink so he surprised himself in plucking another and mingling with bearable company.
With some luck, the special drinks on offer would ease the pain. Nobody else realized it but a party without Jennova just wasn't the same.

HEX:#fd0101 || Party as it gets

He power walked over to Daniel’s cabin and maybe he would have forgotten where his house of royalty was if it weren’t for the music and lights making a spectacle among the peaceful night.
Duke was far from the first to arrive, everybody else had seemed settled into their groups, drinks, and games. He slowed his pace down and caught his breath allowing himself to relax by the doorway before merging in with the crowd. He hadn’t seen the Valis’s but he wasn’t looking for them quite at the moment either. All he knew is that things must have been relatively fine to this point in time otherwise there would be a bigger spectacle.

He was able to place aside his serious and brooding side when he caught up with other returnees of camp. Duke did the rounds, greeting the more favorable and affectionate with a handshake or kiss on the cheek and small talk until he crashed on couch next to a Daughter of Poseidon who he was close with and trained with and the group they had formed. His weight made her sink into his side on the couch as he outstretched an arm to rest along the top of the furniture.
"Where have you been?" "Yeah, man. You've missed all the action."
"Ah yeah. I just got back actually about a day or two ago. Mom's still working at the club and they needed better bouncers." He didn't like to go on about it or kill the mood, no matter how naturally he said it. "But I heard, yeah, I missed a lot. I'm actually sorry I couldn't be there. What was it? Minotaur and hydra?"
Sounds of agreement went around the group. "But we really could have used you with the hydra. That thing got way too far into camp and did way too much damage. You could have steered its fire elsewhere or back down its throat."
Duke squinted in thought. "Where were the others?"
"You mean Ajax and those with useful powers when a hydra terrorizes camp? Oh, pfft, who knows."
"Alex helped though."
"Yeah, eventually. Once all this other damage was done."
"And that Andy girl helped with the minotaur."
Duke raised his brows in interest as unlikely names and roles they played in defeating adversaries were passed around the circle and even mini debates of who was the most reliable when it came to solving camp threats.
"Point is," Megan's voice rose above others. "That we could have used your experience and reliability when it all went down on the battle field. Because others apparently have other priorities on their mind rather than the camp's survival. And I mean the camp’s. Not individual’s."
Ah yes, he was rather reliable in that department since he often experienced a lack of deep attachment and important things to do. "You can’t always help it.” Duke shrugged. "The good news is, I'm here now," he said raising his glass in the air and tight smile for a change of tone.

Daniel looked after his sister who seemed to be a little edgy lately. She had plenty of reason to be, he couldn't exactly blame her but alas, company called to him and he could not refuse the sweet invitation of socializing and social disaster. If she needed anything else, she was free to come to him at any time.

It didn't take much for him to catch up and beyond doing shots along a counter. It burned, he wasn't exactly desensitized to it but it got him at the level he needed to be pretty quickly while challenging a fellow acquaintance. Daniel shivered and looked around for those who were slugging behind or being a prude. There were rules in a son of Hectate's environment. One: Everybody drinks unless they have some tragic backstory to alcohol or were prior alcoholics. Two: Everybody dances. It's not like his taste in music wasn't flexible or he wouldn't take requests. Simple house rules really. All up he was proud in the attendance at least.
He approached a daughter of Athena sitting alone. Pretty thing but a complete nerd. She definitely screamed Ravenclaw in the Harry Potter universe. Daniel sat across from her with his special cocktails, pushing the red one towards her as he kept the less appealing smoggy green colored one for himself. If poison took a color you'd think it'd be it. Her concern was with her red one though, eyeing it with distrust. "I call this one the Green Goblin. And that one..." Daniel narrowed his eyes for he hadn't created a name for it yet. "You'll Never Meet My Mom." He grinned and she laughed modestly. He waved towards his rainbow collection with the help of the alcohol experts being Demeter's children. "If you'd prefer another, be my guest."
"No, no." She rushed quickly. "I like the idea of 'You'll Never Meet My Mom'". She began drinking and Daniel smiled proudly. She had a few mouthfuls which would help set her on her way to enlightenment.
Daniel knocked on the table. "I'll see you soon." He threw a wink her way then swam through the sea of people to Alex. "Wanna play suck and blow?" His voice and look came across perfectly suggestive before holding his hand up in front of Ajax. "It's a drinking game," he defused the guard dog in him. "You, uh, put a card to your lips and try pass it to the next person's lips without the card falling. And if it falls you either kiss or drink and depending if the kiss is good or not, you can do both. Like we're talking 7 and above. If the drink amount is bad, likewise, you have to kiss." He extended his hand to her. "Make sense?"

The music was pumping, a few were dancing but not all of them, and Daniel was already in his partying zone by downing a few shots with another Demigod. Of course, he would be, this was his party after all. While Alex watched him for a moment, she smiled, until he began to talk to one of Athena's daughters.

Alex looked away. She didn't own him, so he could flirt with whoever he wanted, but with her liking him as much as she does, seeing him like that made the jealousy in her rise. Honestly, no guy had ever made her feel the way she does now, so Daniel had accomplished where no one else had. Eventually, Daniel came over to them asking her if she wanted to play a game. It sounded like an Adult game for sure, and from out the corner of her eyes, her protective brother had gotten up from his seat, ready to remove Daniel from his sister. That was until Daniel had reassured him. "Makes sense." she nodded. "I'm ready."

Ajax rolled his eyes and wandered off with his drink in hand. He didn't want to stick around to see his little sister get up close to anyone, but he knew she was now old enough to make her own choices, so removing himself was the best option. He wanted her to have fun without him dragging her down.

Ajax froze when he noticed David had arrived, it was like looking at the Grim reaper from across the dance floor. 'Great.' he thought to himself, but carried on walking to the bar to grab another bottle to drink.

"Perfect," he responded though she seemed less enthused than average about kissing strangers. Daniel collected a few other willing players along the way. Daniel restated the rules, made sure they were all clear then grabbed a single card and begun, passing it around clockwise to which was the side Alex was of him coincidentally.

They had a few good clean rounds but as some drank more and the alcohol caught up to others there were more stuff ups and arguments across the circle. When Daniel next received the card, he dropped it in trying to get it to Alex's lips...so close too and all puckered up. He made a scene as if it were such a shame of a screw up. "Aww perfect track record and everything." Some laughed calling bullshit on that. Either way Daniel smirked and leaned in to Alex, cupping one side of her neck as he pressed his lips to hers and the other grabbed her waist to steady her. Or at least for him so he didn't lose his target. He bit on her bottom lip a little before releasing her and tending back to the circle like he often kissed girls with such steam.
He was fortunate in getting a few kisses in from the pretty girls of camp.And this, he reminded himself, is why I like parties. But there was so much more to be done. Mischief to be made. Boundaries to nudge. Daniel was still warming up.

HEX:#fd0101 || Party as it gets

The thing about becoming an icon or leader or even doing one good thing was the expectations that followed. Duke remained with the certain crowd forcing a chuckle and smile here and there before catching sight of a lonesome Aj. He expected he wouldn’t be alone long so Duke saw and took his opportunity then rising from the couch and approaching Ajax at the bar.
"Hey. How many are you going for?" Duke did his famous tight smile of the night.
The son of Zeus didn’t typically get carried away in his consumption but there were days and times where he did. With the loss of his mother, lingering deep routed father problems, Alex rumored to have killed Jenn and Alex blooming into a confident…perhaps even overconfident

independent young lady, it seemed reason to drown his worries and anxieties in alcohol.
Duke flicked up a glance to the younger Valis being led by Daniel in a circle. He didn’t want to ruin any of their times by addressing the elephant in the whole camp, no matter how much he desired to know or plead for the rumors to be cleared before an alternative and uglier version came out. "Anyway, I just came to say hello and hope you have a good time. It could do us all some good to loosen up even if it's just for a night. So just try okay?" Duke hit him on the back lightly. "Before our brooding becomes contagious." This time a genuine smile swept across his features as he left his unrelated brother to it. It might have been an odd request but true to how Ajax was an icon and moods could be influenced among peers. Nobody needed the excessive stress and worrying if they were going to live or die tomorrow so the elders of camp should have made an example.
He just wanted Ajax to know he was around too. That he could enjoy himself for a while and quit believing everyone was his responsibility and Alex was at/or would near a threat.

He watched his drink be snatched and downed, his hand frozen in the shape of the glass as he scoffed. "Something tells me you’re getting too comfortable around me," he told her. David shifted on his heels to face Andy entirely. "I didn't expect to see you here. I was kinda hoping to leave this thing and come bug you with board games and shitty horror films." His brows furrowed unsure if she was serious or not. "Sorry to disappoint you. And while that does sound fun, I like to think your brother has a method to his madness." Daniel's party may not have been where he wanted to be entirely but it's where he needed to be. David sighed out and stole another drink to make up for his lost one deciding to indulge Andy a little since no one was quite as favorable as her. The girl had his respect and friendship. "What board games and horror films did you have in mind?"

If it satisfied her, he began a pace of moderation with his new drink. "Since when have party games and lap dances not been your style?" It occurred to him to ask and tease. His memory was the furthest thing from hazy about having to grind up on poor Narissa because of a dare Andy gave him. But Andy got her own bonus one along the way getting two forms of entertainment. For her, dares and drinking must have been a ball.
Having mentioned party games, he saw one beginning not far away and smirked as he saw the formation passing a card around via their lips. "That looks more like your game. Heck, it could be mine too if I actually liked more than one person on this camp." He chuckled.
With Steph he'd definitely play. And depending on Jenn's mood, she might have dragged him into it. He knocked back the rest of his drink. He could be as anti-social as he wanted though now that the ladies of his life were deceased. "I just got to stay a bit longer," he told Andy detecting a genuine preference to bail on the party.

The game began, each round causing small disputes among their group of friends. It wasn't long before it became Daniel's turn. Honestly, the way he reacted after 'dropping it' made her laugh. She was glad he had dropped it on purpose. Her eyes locked onto his studying those gorgeous eyes of his before leaning in towards him. The second Daniel kissed her like he did, cupping one side of her neck, it was a good job that he steadied her with his hand on her hip. Her heart was racing like crazy. He then bit her lower lip, and after he pulled back from her, Alex seemed dazed, but in a good way. She tucked in both of her lips and smiled as she watched him turn back to the game with a soft sigh coming from her. If only it had lasted longer, but still, Daniel knew exactly how to kiss since it left her wanting so much more.

She glanced around the party with a smile on her face still, keeping Daniel's kiss fresh in her mind, but the second she saw David, her smile faded before quickly turning away and swallowing. There were two exits to this hall that she could make a run for, or stealthily slip across the dance floor which had finally begun to fill up with other Demigods. 'crap crap crap'. Her hands were trembling with the rest of her body, so she slid them between her thighs to try and steady them. There felt like there was no way out of this, unless she made it look like she felt sick, thus leaving the party a little early.

'Don't be a coward. No-one will let him hurt me.'

She risked to look again, and with her eyes on him, she watched him talking to Andy. They seemed to be friends now by the looks of it. Was this seriously going to be the night she spends contemplating her death by the hands of Hades's son?

To grab Daniel's attention from the game, she placing her hand on his arm, hoping he wouldn't realize the trembling. "I'm sorry, Daniel.. I have to go. I'll make it up to you or something." she didn't give him time to answer, she just kissed his cheek, then left. She casually made her way over to her brother and Duke.

"Hey. How many are you going for?" Ajax smiled a little, placing his hand on Dukes back. "Anyway, I just came to say hello and hope you have a good time. It could do us all some good to loosen up even if it's just for a night. So just try okay?" Ajax nodded, then sighed. He was right. Duke hit him on the back lightly. "Before our brooding becomes contagious." Ajax grew a huge grin then and laughed. "You always know how to cheer a brother up. You're right, though, one night wouldn't hurt. I just.. I definitely worry too much. You and Al are all I have left as family."

Before the conversation got any deeper, Alex had turned up. "Sorry to break up your little bromance, guys, but... David's here." She took hold of Duke's arm, gently pulling him to one side.

"And I need to talk to you.. about what happened. It wasn't my fault... son of Apollo told me that he heard and saw Jennova talking to her father. They were planning mom's death. Hades wanted to hurt us, but to show us that he is willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants. Jennova killed her because hades promised her that she'd be rewarded greatly for her efforts." she sighed. "What else was I suppose to do with that? - Duke, I can't lose you.. I need you to keep trusting me. I'd never lie."

"I was so sure that was a comedy." But Andy had a great point, the real lifter of that movie was Paris Hilton dying. She left him to it and he found himself slightly disappointed in her absence. Now who was going to help pass time until the right time in a non-agonizing way. But David reminded himself it was for the better Andy was away.
David cleared his throat and moved on finding Ares prized fiery daughter leaning up against the wall. One who he ought to be on good terms with. "You being a bouncer tonight?" He leaned against the wall by her, following her

initial gaze to the dancefloor. "So you and Andy helped take down a minotaur. I don’t know if I ever thanked you for that but I want to tell you it now. Thank you. It means a lot. Even you answering those dilemmas honestly was a pretty cool thing for you to do. You're not afraid of tough choices and a guy can love that," he said, catching a glance of Alex, Duke and Ajax forming together. A congress. "I got to ask though, before we went to get Jason, Wes came to us.." he gestured to him ahead. "Well - you," he rolled his eyes, "and said Ajax wanted to apologize for earlier. And you had some serious dislike in your eyes. I was just wondering what happened there? Because, you know...if he wronged you we could bust him up pretty bad." David smiled like it was a joke.
He wouldn't have minded Ajax out of the picture for a while in reality. But he doubted he could get Trinity that rogue without cause. Maybe he could have convinced Andy to talk to him and solve their friction but he didn't even want her near him, nor did he like manipulating his rare few friends.
Anyway, his conversing with Trinity was supposed to be light in heart. David turned to look at her as a catchy sort of song from their childhood came on. Who didn't owe a little rodeo move to Wild Wild West. "You want to dance?" Most girls that eyed the dance floor wanted to. Watching was good for a limited amount of time until the person you liked most had someone else against them. He knew that much. As for him, it's not like his day could get worse. David grabbed her hand gently and led her to some space on the dance floor. He smiled and let go of her hands shaking his shoulders a little and sliding side to side. And of course pulling a mini rodeo move where appropriate.
If he learnt anything from Daniel it was committing to energy paid off most and charming a girl was within making her laugh and having a good time. He led her arm around the back of his neck and slid outward to extend their arms and did a rotation. He was

a perfect gentleman about it. Before anyone could cut in seeing her in more of a dance zone, he pulled her to him, one arm wrapped loosely around her back and the other holding her hand. "I need something from you," he told her near her ear so he didn't have to shout for potential over-hearers. "Things might turn ugly and get rough in here. I need you to have my back. Just for the night. You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important." David hardly asked anyone for favors but this was the one he wanted and needed most. The one he was relying on. He continued to dance with the warrior. "You know some people doubt your capabilities and underestimate you," he said in a lower tone and turned his head to her. "But I trust you completely. I'd never shut you out or disregard your importance."
David kissed into her blonde head and squeezed her hand signalling a deal before he parted from her, exchanging a look to communicate ‘don’t let me down.’

He waited longer. Hopefully not too long but David could gamble for a better opportunity. Just like he had new found confidence with Trinity as assurance and insurance on his team. She was one beast he couldn't tame by power but he could sway the fine woman with words and gesture. Maybe even get the bonus of Theo along the way to help protect the girl he wanted to make an impression on.
But she was a machine alone. Never stayed down, never surrendered, and more well known tough as nails girl. David didn't know Ares well but she was definitely his daughter. If things got messier than intended, it would be fine.
David smirked towards Alex with his secret weapon in play.

HEX:#fd0101 || Party as it gets

"Sorry to break up your little bromance, guys, but... David's here." Alex pulled him to the side before he could look for a visual. A very serious expression was on her usually bright glowing face. Yet he was worrying about Ajax appearing too tight and serious for the merriment.
"And I need to talk to you.. about what happened. It wasn't my fault... son of Apollo told me that he heard and saw Jennova talking to her father. They were planning mom's death. Hades wanted to hurt us, but to show us that he is willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants. Jennova killed her because hades promised her that she'd be rewarded greatly for her efforts. What else was I suppose to do with that? - Duke, I can't lose you.. I need you to keep trusting me. I'd never lie." By then Duke was frowning. He may have been inclined to act the same way but he was a known savage at times not her though. She was supposed to be even-headed and smart. More collected than himself and Ajax. "Alex, you know you won't lose me and you can trust me like I trust you. I have no doubt you'd lie." Then he partially sighed out for the worse was yet to come. Hopefully Alex didn't see it as a blow to her stomach, head or heart. Duke looked to the ground as he delivered his own thoughts and feelings back to her. "But you can't trust rumor. Especially from those who enjoy telling tales." His brown eyes returned on her. "Hopefully this will be the last of it." The last it was mentioned, the last anyone would believe mere rumor, and the last demigod dead by another's doing. "I am very sorry for your loss. But in camp there's family too. You've now robbed David of a sister." Still, he felt the point of Alex taking him away was to assure he was in her corner and she was acting terribly paranoid about David's presence. But seeing him now, he didn't look concerned with the Valis' at all.
What's done is done and there's obviously no turning back time. I think the best we can do is try and get past it. I'm here for you."

Theo was startled from his nap by the howl of a wolf. Shaking away the sleepiness, he got out of his bed. There was no sunlight pouring in from above, so Theo could presume it was time to go to the party. He smiled at himself in the mirror as he brushed away his bed hair and put a hat on. He would certainly be fashionably late. Flicking the light off as he left, he began his descent into the heart of camp. In the distance he could hear a bustling party.

Theo stepped into the vicinity of the party, and he immediately spotted Trinity dancing with... David? Theo rubbed his eyes. That was odd. Instead of heading their way, he made his way to the bar. While sipping on his drink he noticed Trinity coming towards the bar. He slipped away, electing to go find Alex and Ajax. He saw them across the party with Duke, but that conversation looked intense too. Something was going on, and Theo wasn't aware of it. This immediately put him on edge. He spotted David staring across the party at Duke and the Zeus kids. If looks could kill, David would've been a murderer in that moment. Theo decided to head in the direction of the trio anyway.

Theo spoke as he approached and took a seat next to Ajax, "What's up man? Daniel did a decent job. This party is solid." He smiled at Ajax, raising his red solo cup to him.

Duke was right, and even though he had no intentions to make her more guilty for her actions, Alex felt herself sinking into a bottomless pit. "But I.." she didn't go on to say anything else but quickly went quiet as she accidentally cut in too soon, thinking he had finished with what he had to say. She sighed, "You're right. I should have checked, but.. I trust him, Duke. Anyway, thank you." she decided to say instead of, 'but someone killed mom, and Jenn had a motive.' Alex should have checked for evidence, but how could the son of Apollo prove to someone what he had heard unless someone else was there with him too? unless someone on camp had the ability to look into memories. "For now... I'll try enjoy Daniels party. You're looking handsome by the way" She told him, her little brow raising for a second before she poked him gently with her finger and smiled. She stretched up onto her tip-toes, and placed her soft lips gently against the corner of Duke's lips, kissing him there before pulling away with the same smile. She gently began brushing past him, yet with the room quite full, her chest grazed against his own with her eyes looking up into his with a cheeky and playful little smirk. That last drink had hit her more than expected with never really drinking before. Her first time was at the beach party with their truth or dares.

Her feet carried her down the three steps that lead to the dance floor where each multi-colored light flashed against parts of her features. She had almost forgotten that other people - including David - were in the room while spinning in little circles to the music that seemed to lift her entire spirits, traveling through her body like an energy current which carried her across the floor. She was finally letting her hair down and enjoying herself. She had no idea where Daniel was at this point either, but hopefully, he was enjoying his party too. THUMP THUMP THUMP the music rumbled beneath her feet as she rolled her body, and held out her arms before spinning again.

******

Ajax watched as his sister parted away from Duke, then headed to the dancefloor, but before he could turn to his 'big brother', Andy caught his attention. She stopped in front of him, smiling slightly, "It's no fun to drink alone." She held out the second shot towards him, which he took gently from her, his fingertips lightly grazing her hand as he smiled. "Thanks, beautiful." he knocked back the shot and placed it onto the side before then turning to someone else. He felt popular tonight, but while talking to Theo, Ajax held his hand on Andy's arm to hold her in place so she wouldn't leave him again. "What's up man? Daniel did a decent job. This party is solid." Ajax nodded as he looked around at it all. "Yeah, definitely a decent party. Alex is enjoying herself, I have the people I care about with me." he looked at Duke and Andy, then back to Theo. "I'm glad you showed up, man.. I feel like you and I haven't had time to talk properly yet." His thumb gently caressed Andy's arm as he smiled, since he was thinking about her, then he pulled her in closer to his side, his arm around her shoulders like 'This is my girl'. He ordered four drinks this time, one for himself, one for Andy, one for Duke, and one for Theo. "I'll be back, fellas. Just got to do something first."

Ajax leaned into Andy's ear to whisper to her. "I want to talk to you," his tone gentle. He left Duke with Theo for a minute as he slipped outside where it was much quieter. "This probably isn't the best of times, but I've been thinking about it for a while now. Andy, I was wondering if you want to be.. my girlfriend?" he swallowed gently, unsure of how she was going to react. He had to laugh a little because he realized how kind of childish it sounded to put it like that without sweeping her off her feet with some romantic gesture, but Andy seemed the type to want everything pretty much honest and straight forward without beating around the bush. "I know I've hurt you, and I... well I want to fix it. I really like you, Andy, and I hate the thought of you being with anyone else." maybe it was the shots that were making him more open than ever, yet it honestly didn't matter because his words were nothing but the truth. Seeing her around David worried him, but he wouldn't admit that to her.

A definition of perfect did exist. Or close to at least. Ajax was with Andy heading out. Duke was out of sight. And Alex was dancing alone without a care in the world. He brushed pass the dancing bodies, pushing them aside when needed, eyes set on Alex and hungry for the kill. This was the moment. David's attention didn't flicker for a second and he didn't dare hesitate as he cleared the distance in seconds. He grabbed a chair and smashed it behind Alex's legs and followed on by punching her in the ribs and hopefully wind the bitch. David wrapped his hands firmly around her throat and squeezed like he promised himself he would. How sweet it'd be if she died slowly and helpless knowing he killed her exactly how he wanted.
He lifted her head to bang it back down on the ground. Strangling was slow but not painful enough for what she did to his defenseless sister.
Different hands grabbed at him and pushed and pulled for him to get off Alex. He either shook or hit them off aggressively, his hands returning on Alex's throat.

She was the one he wanted, that was all and he'd accept the consequences and beatings afterward but only after she was dead. David was heaved off her and a giant elbow smacked straight into him, making him collapse on the floor. He coughed as the impact stirred his respiratory system and his spine and head hurt. David sought for the one that got him and he was hardly surprised, just more agitated. He got to his feet slowly as some peacemakers intervened and tried to defuse the situation.
David lunged for Alex once more through the crowd. He still had energy and fight in him even has he bled.

Above all, he was glad Alex took aboard his opinion well and didn't see it as him being against her. Maybe Jennova did kill their mother. There was no way of knowing for sure at the present time which was why it was best to try to let it go for now. Alex had to enjoy being a girl still while in her adolescents. Life was too short to be full of mourning and worry. Suffering in short.
Duke allowed himself to smile the slightest bit in how Alex paid him a compliment. "You too." Then she went on her tip toes, making Duke still and stiffen as she kissed the corner of his lips then she brushed against him with a smirk. Duke maintained his composure as she innocently slipped by. She was a fine young woman. Although he'd never say it aloud.
Once she was comfortably tucked away on the dance floor, he allowed himself to smile more.
"I'll be back, fellas. Just got to do something first." The voice was somewhat distant being a few steps away from him now but he observed Ajax drifting away with his special girl. Good. He deserved a little happiness. And it wasn't as if he didn't leave a parting gift of ordered drinks for them. "You can have mine if you want," he said towards Theo. "I don't want to become a mess like everyone else. Tonight and tomorrow." Duke flicked up another smile though it was hardly a joke. Looser morals, the tendency to do dumber things in general then the hangovers. Duke shook his hand firmly. His attention didn't often shift so easily but he became intrigued in the woodwork of the tables. Everything was ship shape for one of the places most often to experience disaster.
Duke heard some furniture break and turned just in time to witness Alex collapse. He rushed over in a heartbeat. David had her down and pinned, hands wrapped tight around her throat. Duke tried to pull him off from her but he was like a rapid dog attached to his prey fighting for a feed. "David, get off her!" He wasn't the only one trying to break it up either which was the most frightening part. David turned and shoved him away giving Alex mere seconds mercy. Before he could try again Ajax was there and dealt with the monster. Hopefully Ajax didn't reach brutality territory so Duke had his eyes on both cautiously.
Duke clenched his fists by his sides and stepped closer to Alex as a wall of people parted them. He didn't trust David. He looked too...driven.

He swore he heard some sort of commotion. That was quickly disregarded as his little Alice had taken him up on his dare and was now puking it back up in the toilet. Daniel held her hair out of the way and chuckled quietly.
"Remember you still..." her jaw clenched and cheeks puffed for another round. "You still have to train with me now. We never agreed to keeping it down."

He smiled. "So you've told me before. I was there." He did like her mind though looking for loopholes and being out of the box.
"Daniel!" A voice called.
"Yeah?" He called back as she bowed her head into the toilet again.
"There's a fight. You need to do something."
"Can't somebody else do something? I'm kinda busy." Of all the muscles and brains remaining out there he thought a fight wouldn't be such an urgent thing. People drank and they fought some times. It wasn't a code red out of the norm unsortable situation.
"It's bigger than that. People are trying to break it up and aren't getting anywhere."
Daniel frowned. His interest was peaked. "Okay. You gonna be okay? You can sleep here tonight if you need." Daniel handed her hair slowly.
Daniel rushed in on something. What, he couldn't say or see but it had gained quite the crowd. Something was wrong with the environment, spirits and moods shifted to something more glum, brooding, serious and deadly. Daniel slipped his way through people and while he couldn't reach the inner "rings" of the spectacles, he saw enough.

Theo watched as the group he had joined walked away one by one. If he had to be honest, despite Ajax's comment to him, it didn't seem the Zeus kids cared all that much to get to know Theo. Theo knew what patience was though, and he had every intention of putting it on display. He cared what they thought of him. Duke left him with two drinks. Theo relaxed, watching the party as he sipped his first drink. Suddenly he heard a commotion coming from the heart of the dance floor. Thanks to his ability to hear way better than anyone else there, Theo could tell the commotion was a fight between Alex and David. "What the hell?" Theo asked of no one in particular. He paused to knock back the last gulp of his drink and rushed into the cluster of people.

What he saw when he got there shocked him. Alex and David were on separate sides of the clearing in the group. Ajax had already gotten there, and he was going at David. Duke was attempting to calm Alex. Theo's instincts went into overdrive. Maybe he could help diffuse the situation. Someone had some explaining to do though. Theo had no idea of what had occurred, so he couldn't understand why the fight had broken out. All he knew was there was an intensity in David's eyes; it was almost murderous. Theo sprinted at David. He took a path that put him behind David. Theo grabbed the guy from behind, locking his own arms around David's. David was strong, but so was Theo. He trusted his grip. He yelled in David's ear, "I don't know what the hell is going on. All I know is, now is not the time for you to pick a fight with the Zeus kids. Calm down bro. We both know you can't win this!"

Theo was dead serious. Not only did David not stand a chance, but Theo didn't want to have to pick a side. Theo liked David, but he owed his loyalty to the children of Zeus. He was sure that whatever incited the spat could be figured out without someone dying though. He held his grip firm on David, hoping David wouldn't try to do anything reckless.

She chuckled and shook her head guiding her way through people to join and aid Wes’s SOS. “Hey. You called. What’s up, buttercup?” She took a look around his surroundings. People, people everywhere from every angle. Trinity sighed out grabbing his arm and wrapped it around herself as she leaned against him. While it was in her control she took her pick of who to be against and she assumed he needed help because he was having either dancing issues or women issues. Now he didn't have to dance and the womanly attention he was getting should have hit the brakes or repelled at least slightly. “What a curse it must be for you,” she said picking up from her thought train with a smirk.
Trinity drummed her fingertips on his arm though most of her was winding down from the charming eventful day. Instead, she began swinging their arms. “You got some killer moves?”

Apparently there wasn't much time for winding down or playing. Trinity caught the dark ambition from her place on the dancefloor. David stalked towards Alex with hungry set eyes yet Trinity was rooted in place and couldn’t will herself to move. She had become too convinced it would be a bluff or a little tussle easily sorted. But what David did was next level, lunging for Alex like a man possessed and strangling her. The boys were all over it fairly quickly, grabbing David and pulling him off her. He had a lot of heat coming his way and before things could escalate further, Trinity rushed towards Theo who had somewhat contained David. To her, David just looked more vulnerable to a beating. Nobody was pinning Ajax who had just as easy a morbid trigger.
“Hey, he's good. He's good.” Trinity pulled Theo's arms gently. With a quick tug on David, she stepped in front of him between the commotion and protective stances around Alex. The back of her hand went to David's chest and pushed back gently, guiding him away from the threatening stares as she slowly backed away with him. Trinity would give anyone a fight if they contained, or, even looked to contain, ill intentions for David and got too close.
There was always one lad that never had enough, or could never tell when it was over. He swung a punch pass her and the one motion set a female rioter off, intending to jump and claw at the son of Hades. Trinity tried playing firm defense, capturing her wrists and throwing them back by her sides, even pushing her away. The girl was impossible and kept coming for them and her persistence earned her a hit. Her nails had made contact at the corner of Trinity's eye which was fortunate to close as a reaction. Trinity froze up for a moment, processing if that had in fact just happened as had the passionate rioter. She pressed her tongue to her cheek and smiled. Hit by a cat-fighter.
She tackled her to the hardwood floor, smacked away her arms that tried to push Trinity off and punched her square in the nose with a satisfying crack sound. Before the blood could come rushing out, she was already off the girl and pulling David away out the front of the cabin.

“Don't think this me taking your side,” she informed him severely. “I had your back that was it.” Looking him over now she could see he wasn't a beast. What he did was rash idiocy. An absolute fool's move for what he had done in front of so many people and the attempted murder itself. A part of her understood though. Trinity quickly wrapped her arms around David, pulling him into a hug and holding him for a while. She didn't need to tell him she understood the compulsion, just that he wasn't alone. Maybe she was in his corner. It looked like he needed someone there.

When she pulled back, she couldn't find the words to say to him. It might not be okay. Things might not get better for him. David might not be able to let go. And after a hug it was especially awkward to linger in silence. “Party's over for us I guess.” Trinity glanced back to his eyes. “Want an escort?” It likely appeared an odd proposal given he was the assaulter and she felt she had some redemption to make up with the others, but she thought it best to travel in packs at this rate. What with the mass manhunts and conspiracies within camp.

Trinity came to Wes' aid amongst the crowd. “Hey. You called. What’s up, buttercup?” She took his arm and wrapped it around her. Wes couldn't help but chuckle slightly and smile down towards her. “What a curse it must be for you,” she said smirking up at him.

Wes grinned, "Well maybe if my escort wouldn't have left me to the wolves, I could have managed."

As she began to move with the music, Wes smiled and began to sway along with her. “You got some killer moves?”

He leaned down to whisper in Trinity's ear, "I could show you but then I'd have to—" Wes was cut off when he heard a loud commotion. He instinctually stepped before Trinity, even though he knew she could more than handle herself. But once the events came into view his eyes widened. Once a number of people began to pull David away Wes sprinted to Alex, falling to his knees beside her.

Wes carefully pulled her into his arms, brushing back her hair. She didn't look good. She'd be fine but she needed to get to the med hut. When he saw Ajax, he shot him a glance that said he'd get her out of there. Wes was worried, Alex was his closest friend at camp and just in case David tried something again he wanted her out of there. So Wes carefully scooped her up into his arms, "I'm going to get you out of here."

Thankfully the crowds of people parted and allowed him through. He wasted no time in getting her to the med hut where he laid her down on one of the beds. He pulled up a stool so he could sit beside her, holding her hand. "You can wait outside. We'll let you know when we've finished."

Wes didn't ever spare the staff member a glance and didn't move an inch. "I'm not going anywhere."

***

Ajax's fingers brushed Andy's hand as he took the shot from her. "Thanks, beautiful." She couldn't help but smile a little more at the comment before she threw back her own shot. When she saw Theo approach she shifted and prepared to wonder off, not wanting to impose. But Ajax's hand gently grasped her arm to keep her from going anywhere. Andy smiled towards Theo as him and Ajax talked. She hadn't had a real chance to talk to him but he seemed like a nice guy and brought David back in one piece from their little quest.

The gentle caress of Ajax's thumb on her arm made her look towards his hand and then up to meet his gaze. His smile was contagious and she could help but return it with her own, even blushing a bit. Then he brought her in closer, causing her to giggle softly as he put his arm around her. "I'll be back, fellas. Just got to do something first." He then whispered in her ear, "I want to talk to you. Even though his tone was gentle she couldn't help but worry a little.

Andy followed Ajax outside. She stood there chewing on her bottom lip slightly while her hands fidgeted with her sweater. "This probably isn't the best of times, but I've been thinking about it for a while now. Andy, I was wondering if you want to be.. my girlfriend?" The question took her by surprise. Her eyes widened as she looked up at him. His subtle laugh at the question made a small smile grace her lips. "I know I've hurt you, and I... well I want to fix it. I really like you, Andy, and I hate the thought of you being with anyone else."

Without a seconds thought, Andy closed the distance between her and Ajax so that they were chest to chest. She moved to her tip toes while gently cupping his face and pressed her lips against his. She had been wanting to kiss him again since their first kiss and even though it was only a couple days ago it felt like a lifetime. After a long moment she pulled away just enough to look up at him, "Of course I will," she whispered towards him with a smile.

She leaned in to kiss him again but just as their lips brushed she heard the noise from inside. Andy held Ajax's gaze for a moment before quickly following him inside. She pushed her way through the crowd of people, reaching the center to see the aftermath. Theo had David in a lock but thankfully Trinity showed up, and got him to ease up. But that wasn't enough for the crowd. Once Trin got the cat fighting girl off of her with a broken nose, Andy quickly stepped up waving her hand and making a force field go up around her, Trinity and David. “Party's over for us I guess. Want an escort?”

"I can take him if you want to stay and enjoy the party," Andy offered. She wanted to thank Trinity but now wasn't the time.

Without warning, Alex had first off been hit in the legs with something wooden, then punched in the ribs which caused her to gasp out and lean over as it did indeed wind her. Next thing she knew, she was on the floor and being choked by David. Her hands clawed desperately at his hands, trying to loosen his grip as she gasped for air. It felt like her windpipe was being crushed under the firm murderous grip he had around her delicate throat. While kicking at the ground with her feet, as it trying to get away from underneath him, she gasped deeper for air as she could feel herself passing out since everything was turning black almost. She could hear people around them noticing finally what was happening, and Duke's voice, "David, get off her!" he yelled. Multiple people did their best to pull him off, and after Ajax elbowed him hard in the face, Ajax yelled down to him. "HE DESERVES TO DIE!" he didn't mean it, he was just riled up since his sister had almost been killed on the dance floor.

Duke and Ajax guarded her as people held back the son of Zeus, and Theo holding back David. Thank god Theo managed to, and that the girls had helped Hades son to leave because Ajax was in rage. Luckily, not blind rage.

Wes had sprinted to Alex, falling to his knees beside her where she was trying to get her lungs to function properly, but she couldn't since it was her throat. She held her hand around it, looking terrified at her best friend "I-cant.. I can't-bre--" she tried to get out, gasping more as she tried to keep herself from blacking out. Wes carefully pulled her into his arms, brushing back her hair, her fingers curling into the fabric on his arms as she was panicking. She didn't want to die. Not like this.

Wes carefully scooped her up into his arms, "I'm going to get you out of here." The crowds of people parted and allowed him through. I no time they were at the med hut where he laid her down on one of the beds. He pulled up a stool so he could sit beside her, holding her hand, which Alex gripped, "You can wait outside. We'll let you know when we've finished." Alex shot up to protest. She didn't want him to leave. They placed her back down and got to work on that throat of her, first giving her something to help the air to flow easily for her with a tube.

Wes didn't ever spare the staff member a glance and didn't move an inch. "I'm not going anywhere." The woman sighed at that, "Fair enough. She's lucky to have you. Without us, she would have definitely died."

"Fair enough. She's lucky to have you. Without us, she would have definitely died," the lady in the med hut said.

Wes nodded his head, his hand never releasing Alex's as he stared blankly at the ground. "Not that lucky," he mumbled under his breath. After a long moment he looked up to meet his friend's gaze. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to... protect you. I was too busy with Trinity. I should have know David would have tried something... I should have been there with you and stopped him or something."

He couldn't help but blame himself. Deep down he probably knew it wasn't at all his fault but he still blamed himself. Maybe if was there with her he could have helped her.... Protecter her, or tried. Wes might not have been the best fighter but he would have tried. He sighed, "Do you need anything? Water? A blanket?"

***

"Not a chance." David's response took her by surprise making her double take. "Last thing I need is another reason for Ajax to knock down my door." Andy crossed her arms as she sighed. "The best way you can help is keeping your boyfriend on a leash." It wasn't like that and David knew it, but the comment still stung. She didn't want either one of them to fight or get hurt yet here he was telling her to control Ajax. What did he expect when he attacked Ajax's sister.

"Whatever," Andy hissed as she dropped the force field and went to walk away.

She stopped when she felt a hand on her arm. She looked back to see Trinity smiling towards her slightly, "I got him." Andy nodded her head in a silent thank you before she walked away rubbing her forehead. She made her way to the bar and took a shot of the first thing she could get her hands on.

After the drink, Andy went to go leave when she over heard Duke talking to Ajax. "I think it'd be best if you went to your cabin and stayed there for the rest of the night." She slowly walked over to join them. "Try rest. Gain your strength and energy and be there for her at first light."

"I'm sure Wes will take good care of Alex." Andy gently reached her hand out to lightly grasp Ajax's upper arm as she looked between him and Duke. "I can walk you to your cabin and sit with you if you want." She smiled slightly towards him just trying to show him she's there for him.

The Woman taking care of Alex sat her up, and poured a golden colored liquid into her mouth. It traveled smoothly down her throat, curing anything damaged there. The Golden liquid had come from the Gods themselves. Once feeling a little better and now able to breathe much better, her gaze landed on her best friend who hadn't moved since he brought her in. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to... protect you. I was too busy with Trinity. I should have known David would have tried something... I should have been there with you and stopped him or something. Do you need anything? Water? A blanket?"

Alex furrowed her brows and tilted her head softly a little, then shook her head as she didn't want anything at the moment. "None of this was your fault, Wes.. it was mine." she sighed, now feeling guilty. "I've gone and put everyone in danger now." she coughed, holding her throat with her hand as it was still a little sore. The red marks were still visible, but at least her life had not been taken from her just yet. "Killing someone isn't right, I know.. but she killed my mom. You, Duke, Daniel, Ajax.. this Camp... It's all I have left." there was no point in trying to defend herself. "but I should leave Camp.. there's no evidence that I'm telling the truth. I'm a murderer to so many."

The door behind them opened, causing Alex to turn around to look. Thankfully, it wasn't David coming to finish her off. Instead, it was Hermes. Alex turned fully to face him. There was a white envelope clutched in his hand with glistening gold writing etched into the front. "I am sorry for your loss, Ms. Valis. This is for you. It... got lost in the Greek mail." he held it out to her, but Alex looked at Wes first before taking it from Hermes. "Thank you." he left after that with it being late. Odd, the mail always arrived during the day...

Alex slid her slender finger underneath the flap of the envelope, swallowing a little as she dreaded what could be sealed inside. With a deep breath, she carefully took out the letter that was folded neatly inside. The paper was scented with a scent that triggered a familiar feeling inside of. "Wes," she whimpered, and took hold of him with one hand, her legs threatening to give way beneath her. The scent was her mother's purfume.

She quickly read through, but then stopped. Pinned to the letter was a picture of her mother and the rest of her family. Together. She broke, her shoulder hitting the wall before she slid down it, then remained crouched on the balls of her feet while crying, her hand holding her forehead. Seeing her again during one happy memory where they spend Christmas together before her nan passed, had brought everything down on top of her again. She opened her eyes, looking back to the picture even though tears made it blurry. This is exactly what Hades wanted. He wanted to make sure the threats were unhinged, making his move onto Camp Athens that much easier without their main defenses.

Alex's chin wobbled, then she sniffed. "She knew," she yelled, almost forgetting Wes was in the room with her. "She knew someone was going to kill her, she wrote this days prior. Why didn't she tell us? why didn't she reach out to dad for protection? did she want to die? I don't... I don't understand." Tears trickled down her cheeks. "Why would she do that? why?" she was close to screaming, her fist tightly squeezing up the letter in her right hand which was shaking. All this place ever brought was chaos. Thanks to Hades and his endless tantrums, no one could just live in peace.

******

A single tear fell, causing Ajax to quickly turn away in hopes Duke wouldn't notice, but he had. "Your sister's going to be okay. She's in good hands." Ajax sighed, running his hands over his face as if trying to wake himself up. "But...I think it'd be best if you went to your cabin and stayed there for the rest of the night." even though Ajax didn't fancy leaving her again, and so desperately wanted to be with her, Duke was right. Seeing her in any bad way would only fuel more anger and causeAjax to beat the hell out of David so much, that it would take just 7 of them to pull him off. Ajax nodded. "Try rest. Gain your strength and energy and be there for her at first light." Ajax went to thank him, but Andy had turned up, which he didn't mind.

"I'm sure Wes will take good care of Alex." Andy gently reached her hand out to lightly grasp Ajax's upper arm, and when her hand touched him, he relaxed and wasn't so tense anymore. Her touch against him soothed him as she looked between the both of them. "I can walk you to your cabin and sit with you if you want." That beautiful smile of hers was catching, since he too smiled back, then looked to Duke. "Thank you, the both of you." he knocked back his last drink for the night and looked over to Daniel who looked like he was disappointed. His party had just been distroyed thanks to them. "Yeah, lets go." He told Andy and grabbed his jacket. "See you in the morning, Duke. I'll be at the med hut. Daniel.... I'm sorry about the party." With that, he left with Andy, and headed towards his cabin, his arm resting around her little shoulders to hug her to him.

"None of this was your fault, Wes.. it was mine. I've gone and put everyone in danger now. Killing someone isn't right, I know.. but she killed my mom. You, Duke, Daniel, Ajax.. this Camp... It's all I have left. but I should leave Camp.. there's no evidence that I'm telling the truth. I'm a murderer to so many."

Wes sighed, leaning back in his seat. "So giving up... Letting everyone defeat you is the answer?" He ran his hand through his short hair, messing it up in the process. "If you leave you'll die. No borders to protect you and no one else with you... Hades could let his monsters loose on you."

He was about to continue but then he saw the messenger of the Gods enter the hut. Wes remained silent as he watched Alex opened it. No doubt whatever the contents wasn't a good sign. He watched as she slumped to the floor crying. She knew, She knew someone was going to kill her, she wrote this days prior. Why didn't she tell us? why didn't she reach out to dad for protection? did she want to die? I don't... I don't understand. Why would she do that? why?"

Wes remained quiet for a long moment as he slowly stood from his chair and walked over to her. He pressed his back to the wall and slid down to sit beside her, draping his arm across her shoulders. "...If I had to guess, she did it for you and Ajax. She probably rather herself die then you both. She might have been given a choice, her life for yours spared. If even a lie, a mother would do anything for her children." He glanced away while mumbling under his breath, "Well a human mother."

***

"Thank you, the both of you," Ajax said towards her and Duke. Andy waited patiently as he had one final drink. "Yeah, lets go. See you in the morning, Duke. I'll be at the med hut. Daniel.... I'm sorry about the party."

Before they left, Andy walked over to her Daniel, giving him a hug from behind before kissing his head. "Sorry about the party," she whispered. "I'll come help you clean up the rest of the mess in the morning." She gave her brother a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before she headed out with Ajax.

Ajax rested his arm along Andy's shoulders as they walked towards his cabin. She took her own arm, hooking it around his lower back and resting her hand on his waist. She stayed fairly quiet as they walked, every so often looking up at the clear nights sky trying to find constellations or just enjoy the stars. Subconsciously, her thumb lightly stroked his side as she walked in step with him. She didn't want to say the wrong thing. Asking if he was ok was stupid, obviously he wasn't. And depending on how he felt, trying to talk about something completely different could be less helpful than she'd hope. So instead she just walked with him and was there if he wanted to talk.... And if not, that was fine too.

Alex let the paper go a little in her grip as her green eyes turned to her friend. Hearing Wes sigh and seeing him lean back in his seat, made Alex know he was about to lecture her about the crazy idea she had to leave camp. She just didn't want to make any more mistakes, and maybe the anger in Hades would be drawn to her instead, away from the camp. There was no chance that her brother, Wes, or anyone else who cared about her would allow her to play the martyr. "So giving up... Letting everyone defeat you is the answer?" Alex kept quiet for the moment. "If you leave you'll die." He was right about that. It wouldn't be long until everything under Hades orders would go looking for her. "No borders to protect you and no one else with you... Hades could let his monsters loose on you." No doubt that would be Hades' most treasured moment.

"I know, but you're in much more danger. There could have been another way, but... rage took over. I've never killed anyone, and now my hands will always be stained with her blood. No matter how hard I try to clean them."

Wes placed himself beside her, draping his arm across her shoulders. "...If I had to guess, she did it for you and Ajax. She probably rather herself die then you both. She might have been given a choice, her life for yours spared. If even a lie, a mother would do anything for her children."

A smile appeared a tiny bit. That definitely sounded like her mother. Any mother. She didn't catch his mumblings, but she took his hand, holding her fingers through his. "Thank you. You're right.. and I would do the same for all of you. I just don't want my mistakes to cause anyone to get hurt because of me." She gently let go of his hand now and gave him a hug, wrapping her arms around him with her face buried into his shoulder before drawing back. "I'm gonna try sleep, so I'll stay here for the night."

She undid her boots laces, taking each one of them off her feet while carrying on with what she wanted to say. "I'll be alright on my own. I promise. I just... I need to clear my head." She got up from the floor, moved over to one of the beds, and climbed in with her back to him. She hugged herself while staring off into the dimmed room, listening out for Wes's footsteps. Hopefully, he'd know that she didn't mean it. She didn't want to be by herself, she was just trying her best to be the tough little warrior that her reputation had her to be.

He wouldn't admit it, but now that his anger was beginning to disperse, he felt like both sides to this were right and wrong. Ajax understood David's anger, especially since he'd be the same if it were Alex - if worse.

David was also wrong since he didn't know the complete story, and Alex was wrong since she didn't have evidence to give. Still, he'd take her side no matter what. His sister had also been in the right because she had only acted how any other person would if a family member was killed. Anyone would never think straight until it's too late. He felt sick. The thought of losing his sister the same way, seeing a decapitated head just laying there like Jenns was nightmare material. David could easily kill her since Alex wasn't advanced with her skills, just a new blood to the Camp. Once reaching the Cabin without a single word to Andy, he stepped inside with her, then closed the door on the world before he immediately pulled her gently into him, his arms wrapping themselves around her. His muscles clenched as he squeezed her a little, tears filling his eyes. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let Alex out of my sight. I should have known what would happen. But still... I'm glad you, Trinity, Duke and Theo were there. Thank you." he hadn't forgotten Wes. He'd thank him in the morning.

Wes couldn't help but smile when he got one out of Alex. It wasn't much but it was better than nothing. She hooked her fingers through his as she spoke, "Thank you. You're right.. and I would do the same for all of you. I just don't want my mistakes to cause anyone to get hurt because of me." She released his hand and then took him in an embrace. Wes lightly wrapped his arms around her. "I'm gonna try sleep, so I'll stay here for the night."

Wes nodded his head as he slowly pushed off the ground and headed towards the entrance of the med hut. He glanced back over his shoulder towards her as she spoke, "I'll be alright on my own. I promise. I just... I need to clear my head."

"Get some rest." He placed a kiss on her head before he left her in the hut. Something inside him wasn't comfortable leaving her completely alone. Wes looked up at the sky and it seemed to be a calm night. So instead of walking back to his cabin, he sat in the grass leaning his back against the wall of the med hut near the entrance.

***

Andy walked along side Ajax content with his silence. He obviously just wanted the company and not to be alone, and she would do that. She didn't need to speak to be there for him. When they reached his cabin he stepped inside, still bringing her along with him. After he closed the door he wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her in an embrace. Andy let out a soft sigh as she hugged him back, lightly resting her chin on his shoulder. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let Alex out of my sight. I should have known what would happen. But still... I'm glad you, Trinity, Duke and Theo were there. Thank you."

She could hear the sadness in his voice. It hurt to see him like this. With each word Andy held him tighter. "It's not your fault Ajax." Her hands lightly rubbed his back, "A lot has happened these past couple days at camp, more than what any normal person should go through. All of us are blaming ourselves for parts of this." She tilted her face into his shoulder, mumbling her next words quietly into his shoulder, "...Including me."

After a long moment of holding him, Andy slowly pulled away. She gave a weak smile up towards as she raised her hands to wipe away his tears. "You can't carry everything on your shoulders. That's too heavy of a burden to carry alone."

"Get some rest." He lay a kiss on her forehead, which Alex closed her eyes for a second. As he began to walk away after, she reopened them to watch him leave. The back of her best friend disappeared through the opening of the hut, but his footsteps stopped short outside. She sat up a little, listening out for his steps to get farther away, but they didn't. He still wasn't going to leave her even if she wanted space to herself to think. She smiled, then lay back down. Hopefully, it wouldn't be a cold night for him. He didn't have to hang around, but clearly, he cared a lot about her.

With the silence now over the Camp, critters and mammals that came out at night could be heard from the forest and around the lake. Grasshoppers, Owls etc. Sleep soon grabbed her. Tomorrow was going to be a fresh day, a new start. What she had planned would have to be on hold just for a little longer. Hopefully, her chosen companion wouldn't mind her choice, but there were doubts. Duke would probably get mad about it. She had an idea to get around him, though, to make him see her point on a better side.

******

He didn't completely agree with the part where she said it wasn't his fault. It really was to him. Before their mother died, he promised that Alex would always be his responsibility. Every time she stepped out of line, he was there to put her right back on the right path again, no matter how long it took him to get through to her. "...Including me." Ajax frowned at that.

Andy raised her hands to wipe away his tears. "You can't carry everything on your shoulders. That's too heavy of a burden to carry alone." he didn't say a word because there was no need to. She was right. He leaned in towards her steadily and tilted his head a little just before his lips pressed against hers. The kiss was his way of saying thank you, but just merely because he wanted to. He had been distant from her for a while, but now he couldn't. Not anymore.

"Lets go to sleep.." he whispered by her ear, then took her by the hand before leading her towards his room. He wanted her to remain close to him still.

Wes crossed his arms over his chest as she wiggled his body into as comfortable of a position as he could get. He kept his head cocked towards the entrance of the hut. Once he heard Alex's breathing get heavier and he knew she was asleep, he was able to close his eyes and let sleep take him.

It was a long crazy day in a run of long crazy days. He didn't know if he was ready for tomorrow but he prayed that it would be better than today.

***

After Andy was done talking, Ajax didn't speak. Instead he leaned in towards her and pressed his lips softly against hers. Her hand lightly cupped his neck as she returned the kiss. As he pulled away, she opened her eyes to look upon him and gave him a slight reassuring smile.

"Lets go to sleep.." he whispered in her ear. Andy nodded as she realized how tired she actually was. He then took her hand and lead her to his room. She assumed that he wasn't ready to be alone and she wasn't going to argue, with this war getting closer and everything going on, no one should be alone.

***

Andy was startled awake when she heard loud banging on the door. She rolled over seeing Ajax was still asleep. So she quietly slipped out of his bed and grabbed a jacket of his as she headed towards the door. She yawned as she put it on before opening the door. Andy did a double take when she saw Trinity standing before her.

"Hey," she said sheepishly as she stepped out onto the porch, closing the door behind her. "Thanks for David last night by the way." Andy smiled towards Trinity before she waved off her own thoughts and ran a hand through her hair. "Sorry, what's up? Ajax is still asleep... He was kinda shaken up from last night."

Alex could see that Wes still remained outside of the tent since the sun came up, casting his shadow through the fabric which was an army green color. She quietly got out of bed - first making sure that the mattress she lay on didn't creek - then made her way towards the back of the tent. With one quick last glance towards where Wes was, she crouched down on all fours and slipped under the back of the med hut, coming out the other side with her hair obstructing her view. She brushed her hair out of her eyes and glanced around before making a stealthy run for it towards Duke's workshop.

It didn't look like anyone was up yet, but she made sure to be cautious. Just encase. Just as she was about to step out, one of the Demigods heading out of the diner had been spotted, so Alex quickly jumped behind one of the bushes, looking between the branches as she watched them. Great, they were sitting outside with their damn breakfast. "Psst.. Adam." He glanced over his shoulder first before whirling his body around to face her. "Alex? he squinted through the bushes, trying to see if it actually was her. "aren't you suppose to be resting in the med hut?"
"Shurrup and get over here. I need you." of course he'd take it the unclean way. "Anything for you, gorgeous." soon as he was close enough she grabbed him in a chokehold. He desperately tried his best to get loose, thinking she was about to kill him next, his hands firmly clasping around her arms that squeezed against his throat. She didn't let go until he went limp.

After laying his unconscious body on the ground, she spun around to look behind her since she could now hear her brother's voice down by the tent. Time was running out.

Once at Duke's workshop, she slipped up the back steps to his cabin and knocked on his door almost frantically. Hopefully, he hadn't headed out anywhere yet. while waiting for Duke to answer, she quickly thought up multiple plans. They could use Pegasus as their ride. But, how exactly do you hide a flying horse amongst Mortals? Halloween wasn't until another 5 months. She'd worry about that later. For now, she just needed to convince Duke, somehow, to come with her. Why not Wes, or Daniel? surely they'd trust her enough with the mission she had in mind.

She couldn't wait any longer, so Alex made her way into Duke's cabin after calling out to him around the door, giving him a warning that someone was in his home. She didn't want to catch him naked... or did she. "Duke if you're here? I really need to talk to you. I don't have much time, so.. It's going to have to be quick. Know that you can't stop me, because either way, I'm going. So, will you come with me? It'll be dangerous on my own, but that still won't stop me. I need to do this. I have to get away from this place for just a little while, and I also have a plan that'll benefit all of us. Me mostly."

******

It wasn't long before Ajax had woken up. He could hear Andy outside talking to Trinity. Hopefully, she wasn't here to lecture him about how to be a better big brother, because he already knew he was failing at that recently. Ajax got up out of bed, threw on some fresh clothes, then headed to the front door himself. "Everything okay?" he asked, tugging down his shirt that hadn't covered him properly. He looked between both girls.

"Alex is still down at the med hut, I'm going to go see her now if you two want to tag along with me?" he asked, stuffing his feet into his shoes which lay out on the porch. With any luck, Alex had gotten enough sleep, but he wasn't counting on it since the past couple of hours had been enough to make anyone's head spin. He truly was beginning to feel his failed attempts at being a good big brother, which buried themselves deep under his skin, eating away at every inch of him.

"I'll... I'll meet you there." he wandered off, and only glancing back once. At the med hut, Wes slept outside which caused Ajax to finally break a smile. He lightly kicked Wes's ankle with his boot. "Kick you out of the tent did she?" he chuckled. "She doing okay?" he asked, his hand reaching out for the tents opening. He pulled it to one side and wandered in. "Alex, are you--where is she?" he turned to look at Wes, his face half scared and angry. "How could she just slip under your damn nose!" he didn't mean to get angry with him. He knew it wasn't Wes' fault, but at the moment, Wes was the only one there that he could direct his anger at. "Get out of my way!" he didn't care right now if Wes hated him. He rushed out the tent and went looking for her.

David accepted the comforting gesture but when her hand held his arm and her eyes closed, he turned to her. In no time she was fast asleep. She was a kitten and tiger in one and that was part of her appeal. He smiled slightly to himself.

No matter what he said or what he dreaded, exhaustion took over eventually and he slipped into a deep sleep.Thankfully a dreamless kind where it was nothing but darkness.

“I'm going for a walk.” He heard and grumbled in response shifting onto his side. It was far too early for his liking.

She was simply gone when he woke. And perhaps that was the curse of a deep sleep being so unawares of surroundings. David never had a girl skip out on him before and he wasn't a fan of the feeling even if it was Trinity. For the most part she had her own agenda but...he had half expected her to be there when he woke.

He unwrapped her bandaging slowly. David didn't understand it. For her to be sweet and caring towards him one night and when morning came, forget about it. Not even a trace of her or indication that she was coming back. He only let himself down by having hope in the first place.
David sat in his cabin with his hands clamped together. All he wanted to do was blend into shadow, not make a scene of himself again and not leave his cabin. It didn't leave much for him to do but he wasn't in the mood to be productive or eventful either. Even if he wanted to borrow a DVD like House of Wax, it meant leaving his cabin and pretending to give a shit.

David looked around into the emptiness. He was best to take advantage of his loneliness. He threw whatever pants on and paced off but not without a quick detour to get a shovel. He carried it over his shoulder, glancing around to check the coast was clear and didn't look back as he left camp grounds and headed for the cliff.

The sympathy he got towards his down spirits for the worse party ever didn't matter when he woke to something delicious wafting up his stairs, into his bedroom and up his nose. Daniel had almost forgot he had Caitlin over until his tired mind finally put two and two together.
Daniel wandered down stairs to his kitchen and took a seat at the table watching her whip up some pancakes and Daniel was in no mood to oppose the gesture. Clearly she handled her liquor better or her hangovers were kinder. But it also made him feel precious again, like when he was sick and young and breakfast would be made and occasionally brought to him in bed.

She set a plate down in front of him with a warm smile and thanks for allowing her to sleep over. It was nothing to him. Nothing like pancakes being prepared by a fine woman for a man with a hangover.
Daniel picked the lot up and had a massive bite. The taste was no disappointment to its smell or his appetite. They were fresh and warm and drool worthy and saved him the hassle of going to the hall.
"Do you want any..." She broke off and froze mid-motion causing Daniel to turn his gaze to her. She had some topping in her hands. His morning was looking sunny side up. "Actually there's some ice cream in the freezer."

Once Daniel was set with a better than content meal, Caitlin joined him. "So our deal?"
He nodded and covered his mouth to reply. "In tact. I just got to visit David and Alex then we'll meet up." Daniel dusted the crumbs from his hands. With some food in his gut, he was a happier hungover type.
But Daniel added a shower for good measure which made him feel fresher and he got dressed for the day.

He broke into a jog to visit David likely in his cabin. He stopped abruptly catching some spec in the distance pace off towards the border then he pursued. Daniel followed him all the way up some cliff and by the time he arrived, a rectangular shape was already half dug up. "David!" Daniel had never been so mortified nor been so panicked about what he was witnessing. "You don't have to do this just let her rest in peace. Please," he pleaded.
David paused, shovel half in dirt. "Can you see her?" He asked without looking towards Daniel.
"I...Andy's better with that sort of stuff. I'm sorry." Daniel suffered extreme levels of stress, he thought he might have been at risk of an anxiety attack then and there. If David kept digging he didn't know what to do. And even if he dug to her body....Daniel shuddered. "Come on, you're better than this. This is madness. You have to let her go."

HEX:#fd0101 || Outfit

When he first heard Alex call he thought it might have been a social call. "I was just on..." As Alex kept talking through his cabin, it appeared it wasn't for a social call or impatience of lack of visitors. "Know that you can't stop me, because either way, I'm going. So, will you come with me? It'll be dangerous on my own, but that still won't stop me. I need to do this. I have to get away from this place for just a little while, and I also have a plan that'll benefit all of us. Me mostly."

Duke rounded a corner in such a hurry he almost collided into her. He held her arms to catch himself and her. "Where are you going?" He asked, concerned. In any case he doubted she was bluffing so he grabbed a jacket. Like hell he'd let her go alone. "I hope this isn't an intimidation thing." David showed he could be one scary dude. But she had also mentioned a benefit, and distance from camp for a while.
Duke was usually one for enduring the summer at Camp Athens. Every miserable, hard and gleeful stretch but Alex believed she was onto something. No doubt by her urgency she had ran off from the hut too. Nobody would be happy about it and Duke would become an accomplice.
"I'm trusting you here," he told her looking into her sweet blue eyes. He was sure it was worth the heat they were going to get when they got back. "Let's go." Duke locked up behind him and followed Alex's lead.

"Yeah man, what's up? Is everything ok?"
"No, man.. Alex is missing. Wes stayed with her for the entire night, then she up and left without him knowing. I was wondering if you could track down where she's gone? - I will be in your debt. I'm scared in case anything happens to her." Theo wouldn't have known what it felt like to worry about a younger sibling, not personally, but he wasn't dumb. It was common sense how someone would feel about losing any family member.

He really wished for once that Alex wouldn't sometimes go against him. He pondered over the reasons why she'd want to leave, and feeling intimidated by David might have been one of them. Really at this point, it didn't matter why - he just wanted her back at camp where it was a lot safer than out there. Where ever she was. "She better have a damn good reason for doing this."

"No, I still have some..." he cut off, quickly wrapping his arms around her. She couldn't help but laugh. Pegasus was clearly keen to take to the skies since he been mostly kept inside of a stable that was built on the Camps grounds.

Once they arrived, Alex jumped off of Pegasus and lead him to the back end of the house. He'd be better hidden there than out front. The area didn't have many neighbors, and those that happen to be around still are probably just nosey old bats anyway. If they mention to anyone that they've seen a winged horse!? well... they'd probably be carted off to the nearest mental institution. Diagnosis.... crazy as balls.

The house and gardens looked untouched and unkept. Clearly, no one wanted to move in since the 'accident' as the law was putting it down to. It was an insult to her mother. Reporters had yet again placed lies in their tabloids, right there in black white bold letters...

"Mother killed by her own kitchen knife after slipping on the kitchen floor of her home on Monday. Her body was found by her fiance, Andrew Goldman, at 11pm. He said he was out with his son. Police have closed the case. No evidence of foul play."

"Hey. You know I'm close with your family and all but how long are we planning on staying here?"

"Until we find what I've come for." she told him cryptically. "I have a feeling we're--" She cut off, looking towards the house like she had caught the sight of something in one of the windows. "--Can you sense that?" she asked, returning her gaze to the house. Whatever she was feeling, it made her feel sick and a little dizzy.

David froze up at first and looked to where he wanted Daniel to be but his buddy had legged it. With a sigh David turned back to Andy. He always thought expressing gratitude was painful but saying sorry was so much worse. Undoubtedly due but no less painful and foreign. "I'm here to say sorry," he finally spoke. "Not because I have to but because I am and you should know that."

He remained near her door as an unwelcomed guess should be, prepared to leave. Not without saying all he needed though. "I know I've been cold to you lately and there were definitely some things said that shouldn't have been said on my part. And I won't justify that with Jenn's death...But I do care about you and we are - were - " His hands collapsed by his side. He didn't even know. "friends. I just thought...you've always had my back. But at some stage my luck's got to run out and I really don't want to get my hopes up to have them knocked down again." David was explaining the best he could. "I hate Alex and Ajax." David shrugged. That was one of the more well known facts and more natural things for him to voice and there was no helping that but it did contribute to his argument. "One day it's going to come down to me or him in some shape or another and I don't expect you to take my side. Caught in the crossfire is no place for you to be either. So...I suppose I chose to push you away early."

David buried his hands in his pants pockets. "I didn't mean for you to infer that I think your life is less than it is either. I'd save you all over again if I had to," he assured lowly. Not even in the 'having to' case but she got the point.

While he was all confessions he may as well have gone 100%. Besides, it might have been the brick wall he needed from her. "And..." he shifted his weight and rubbed the back of his neck."This morning I dug up Jenn. Tried to put her in one piece again." He found a spot on the wall to shift his gaze towards as his tongue pressed to his cheek. There was no way to reach peace after that. David wouldn't play offense again though until this other impending war was done. "Tried to bring her back. But..." He gestured to the emptiness around him rocking back on his heels. "Obviously she's a no show."

"Until we find what I've come for," she offered as response.
Duke pursed his lips but had no choice but to accept her odd and cryptic reason. His eyes fell upon the tabloid and he felt his jaw clench. They were too rash and hasty for their media and to assure all was well.
"I have a feeling we're--" Duke turned to her then followed her gaze. He quickly flickered his sights back on Alex. "--Can you sense that?"

Personally he was too stressed to pick up on what Alex was before she actually broke off and said it. Duke had bad vibes in general even before he reached the Valis home but he couldn't disregard Alex’s concerns about a sense. He stopped, an arm outstretched keeping her from advancing any further. It was a new sensation to Duke but whatever the case, it was strong and urged caution in him. "Let’s be careful here, okay?" He turned to look at her, expectant for Alex's agreement.
Neither Duke nor Ajax had to be overbearing of her if she restrained her impulses. At times it was endearing at other times it was dangerous and not appreciated. Duke removed his arm from being a blockade but kept her within reach. As long as the case was deemed close, Duke could place his hands on the property’s door and nudge it open with ease and a clear conscience. He didn't want to touch more than what was necessary so he clicked his fingers for friction summoning a spark then a flame to illuminate the way. Slowly he headed to the kitchen, glancing back to Alex to check this was all okay by her. Whatever they were sensing it needed investigation but Alex was also entitled to call it off and that'd be okay with emotions at a high. Duke couldn't imagine how she was feeling, but he felt they were close.

Ajax remained at Theo's heels, keeping behind him while he wandered towards the med hut. "I'm sure she has a reason, but either way, I'll do my best to find her. Your sister is smart, but she can't take on all of our enemies on her own." Ajax swallowed, causing his Adam's apple to bob in his throat. He didn't want to picture those kinds of threats in his head, playing them out like some bad nightmare he couldn't shake off, but Theo was right.

"It may be tough to see once we get out of the open part of the camp, but these tracks head that way, towards the cabins. Let's go." He gestured, causing Ajax to pick up his pace a little more quickly. Hopefully, the trail was getting hot and not cold. They had reached the workshop where Duke worked and lived, and to no surprise, the door had been locked. Theo jiggled the handle before kicking it open, which caused Ajax to raise his brows and looking the guy over. He didn't expect that from him.

"Good job Duke likes DIY." he stepped over the threshold, entering his 'brothers' home and looking around for any signs to help Theo pinpoint his next trail. There was nothing. The both of them headed off again, and Theo explained they had taken Pegasus. He had been a gift to Alex from their Father.

"But hey, if she is with Duke, I'm sure she is okay. He wouldn't have gone if it wasn't important. Do you have any idea where they could've went. We'll go there, right now!" was he serious? Ajax wasn't a psychic last time he checked. She was definitely going to have a babysitter after this stunt.

"Do you really think I'd be roaming on a wild goose chase if I knew where she had planned to run off to?" he snapped. "Sorry, just... I don't know. She's definitely with Duke which makes it easier to stomach, but being out there while she's not as advanced with her abilities is reckless of her." Ajax looked to the hoof prints that Pegasus had left in the ground, along with a set of boots, and shoe marks with heels. There was no way she'd be running away from her problems in those, but luckily Alex didn't own the really high ones. She hated them.

Ajax crouched down to the balls of his feet, his arms resting on his thighs. "Maybe she's gone back home to get herself some proper closure. She's probably feeling guilty for what has happened and thinks it's all her fault. I should have known she'd act out like she did."

****

Duke's arm stretched out in front of her like a blockade, causing her to walk into it. her hand held onto his arm gently as she looked to him. "Let’s be careful here, okay?" He turned to look back at her, and she nodded. "okay," she told him gently, her voice a little quiet, but still loud enough for Duke to hear without straining to catch her words. He moved his arm away, then led the way inside, causing a spark to illuminate the darkened kitchen. He glanced back to her, causing her to smile. She was fine, they were fine. While taking in the kitchen and the foyer, she wandered off into her only little word for a moment. She hadn't been home in months, but since what happened... her home didn't feel like home at all. It had died along with her mother.

Alex blinked back to the present and looked towards Duke who was looking around the kitchen still. "There." she told him suddenly, pointing towards where he was standing. "I feel something there..." It felt like magic was pulling her towards it. It felt like a dark curse. "Be careful," she warned him. The floorboards were loose, and right underneath them was a symbol, marked in the center with a flame. Around the mark were ancient Greek words, spelling out what seemed to be a riddle - Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die.

she moved back a little, unsure of what they were going to find beneath the floorboards under Duke's feet. She bumped into the sink and found herself staring at the wooden flooring. There was dried up blood between the cracks of the floor. This had been where they found her mother. "It's..." Alex suddenly gripped the kitchen sink, her legs feeling weak as her head began to spin. That thing must have been affecting her somehow, or it was something else. "Duke.." she called out for him, her hand blindly reaching towards him since she could barely see anymore.

Her legs gave way, and she was on the floor in seconds, leaning on her knees with a splitting pain in her head with a sudden wave of nausea. At this point, Duke would probably want them to leave, but they couldn't, they needed to work out that riddle, and to find out exactly what had happened the night of Susanna's death.

One footstep produced a creek and Duke wasn't going to pay it much mind until Alex spoke. "There." Duke looked to her and where she was pointing and acting so feverishly. He shifted his weight back on the spot reproducing the creek sound. "I feel something there...Be careful."
Duke immediately moved and ripped open the loose floorboard. He cocked his head making what he could of the language, even circling the new source of power to grip every word and what it might have stored within it. The words appeared a riddle. But why? What was the answer anyway? What was this symbol doing here?

As Duke continued to study and circle it, Alex was having her own battle. "It's..." Whatever it was, she was having a hard time getting it out but Duke was deeply trapped in his own head. "Duke," she called instead. That had gained his attention but not quick enough to save her from collapsing. "Alex!" Duke dropped by her and placed a hand on her back trying to lean his head down to catch her eyes. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" Obviously something. People didn't just drop and look ill. Duke picked her up back to her feet slowly, his arms securely around her supporting her weight for as long as she needed. "Come on, we’re getting out of here," he told her leading her outside. Whatever the symbol was or maybe even being there at the house itself, it wasn't good for Alex. It wasn't particularly good for him either as it urged him to leave and he felt physically and even mentally weaker but not to her extent.

Alex stirred and protested. Duke paused surveying her, having embedded respect for her opinion and free will even when her body disagreed. Reluctantly he gave in and doubled back to the missing floorboard and symbol with her. He fed the prompted riddle and symbol fire.

Alex strolled through her favorite place at camp. The forest. She would usually enjoy how the Birds in the trees sung to the new day with the sun's rays warming their colorful feathers, but the world around her now felt dead and numb. Maybe the girl she knew herself to be had died the day she lost the only woman in her life that loved her unconditionally. Lost, afraid... it's all she knew at this very moment. Duke had proven her innocence, but still, that feeling of guilt weighing her down remained.

For months hallucinations set in. Her mother had stood in her room most nights to watch her daughter sleep, but one night had been different than the rest since she was looking at her daughter with disappointment. "I raised you to be passionate, caring, kind... you're a monster. A murderer."

"No!" Alex shook her head, her gaze locked on her mother as her eyes filled with tears. She took a couple of steps back.

"You killed a sister, killed me, killed yourself, and now you're killing everyone you've ever loved."

Alex threw her hands over her ears and screwed her eyes tightly shut. "Stop it, please. You're not real." her begging voice shook.

"You don't belong here. They want you dead. They hate you!"

"STOP!" Alex screamed, right before grabbing her bedside table lamp and throwing it towards where her mother had been standing seconds before. Ajax came rushing into the room, witnessing his sister standing by her bed, her right hand over her stomach. Crying. Ajax took a look Across the room and found on the floor a broken lamp.

"Al?" he turned his attention quickly to her and made his way over to the side of her bed with his right hand reaching out to her as he got closer. Alex fell on top of her bed, sitting there as Ajax curled his long fingers over her left shoulder, then lowered himself down so he could sit on the edge of her bed with her "What's wrong?" He put his arms around her, cradling his little sister into his warm safe chest with his right hand on the back of her head, and his chin resting on top. He closed his eyes with a sigh. He allowed her to cry for as long as she needed.

"Rest.. you need it." he told her, then kissed her forehead. The lump in his throat bobbed as he swallowed. He had to stay strong for her. He left her room once he had tucked her in, but that's when she decided to sneak out and head to those woods. She stopped once she felt as though she had wandered enough, then headed back to camp. The entire time she ignored the hallucinations of her mother and Jenn.

Now only a few feet away from Duke's place, she stood still yet again, watching the outline of him moving inside of his warehouse, gathering tools he needed for the job that had been assigned to him. Alex smiled, then with one blink of her long dark lashes, she looked down at her hands and arms. Her vision grew darker and her skin seemed a tone of red. With a frown, she turned her attention up at the sky above her.

Click me then read on while playing.

The clouds were turning black, but also a burgundy red. Loud crashes of thunder rumbled through the clouds, along with red flashes of light. The other Demigods began to scream as they ran for cover, the lightning was hitting the trees mostly, making them catch on fire. Then came the rain, but it wasn't raining at all...

It was blood.

Alex stood there, blinking rapidly as the rain came down quite heavy, soaking her from head to toe, yet she didn't move. This felt like her fault. She killed a Demigod, and now their world was probably dying. The Earth rumbled beneath her feet. Duke emerged from his home the second he heard the screams, the thunder. Alex was breathing heavily, cupping her stomach again while looking at the ground she wanted to sink into and disappear. "Alex..." she heard Duke calling to her, faintly, but she did not look at him as the blood rain dripped from her face and hair.

Like nearly every other day Andy found it more and more difficult to sleep through the night. After tossing and turning for the better part of an hour, she rolled out of bed at the cusp of 5 am. It was so many things that weighed on her, but it seemed that the war was weighed on her most that morning. She soaked in a hot shower for longer than what would have seemed necessary. She let the warmth loosen her muscles and tried to ease away some of her stress.

With a sigh, Andy finally stepped out of the water and got dressed. When the sun seemed to be on the edge of the horizon she stepped out of her cabin. She tucked her iPod in her back pocket and slipped the earbuds into her ears. Once a good song was playing, she started jogging. No destination in mind, she started lapping the camp.

The more her mind worried or wondered, the faster she tried to out run her thoughts and worries. Andy forgot how long she had been running when the skies began to rumble and crack above her. She came to a stop along the trail through the cabins. Her hands raised to pull her head phones from her ears as she looked up at the sky flashing red.

Lightning snapped over head, striking a large branch that stretched overhead. Andy jumped out of the way, tumbling along the ground just before the branch fell to the ground where she was standing. The clouds then parted as a crimson tide began to pour like rain from above. She gasped at the realization that it was blood. Andy quickly pushed off the ground, but the blood rain made her unable to see more than a foot in front of her face.

Andy stretched her hands out before her, waving them back and forth as she tried to run through it and find shelter. Her foot clipped on a step, causing her to fall over onto the porch of a cabin. She stumbled to her feet and hurried to the door. With the blood dripping from her hair into her face, she couldn't tell it was the Valis' cabin she was at. She banged on the door. "Hello?" she called out before coughing on the blood that tainted her mouth.

***

Wes never went to bed the night before. Unlike everyone else with their infinite abilities, he felt like he needed to train. Everyone at the camp had powers and abilities that'd be useful in a war. But Wes? He had to rely on whatever skills he possessed, which there aren't many.

So day in and day out Wes barely got any sleep or none at all and spent the remaining bit of his time on the training grounds. He could throw a mean spear but his swordsmanship was still mediocre. That morning he did numerous push ups, then chin ups and every other kind of physical training he could. The only thing he could rely on was the fact he was stronger than most. It wasn't much to go off of but it was something. So, Wes wouldn't let his body go to waste and if anything, his muscles were now more lean and strong.

As he bench pressed nearly his own weight, he heard thunder begin to rumble over head. Taken by surprise, Wes nearly dropped the barbell on his chest as he tried to place it on the supports. The first thing that came to his mind was Alex. Was this her doing? Did something happen? But then the skies opened and unleashed a monsoon of blood upon him. He stood there in shock as the thick liquid covered him.

Wes held his hand up to block his eyes as he rain across the grounds of camp. On his way towards the epicenter of the storm, he passed Trinity's cabin. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks and turn around. He hurdled the railing to her porch and quickly closed the distance to her door. "Trinity?" He knocked on the door once, but instead opened it and walked inside.

His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath, wiping the blood from his eyes. "Trin? Are you here?" Wes couldn't tell if she was there or not. He didn't want to track the bloody mess through her cabin, but he wanted to be sure she was either safe there or he needed to worry more and try to find her.

For some time David was living through an ultimate game of chinese whispers and what the latest word was on the Valis' or himself and his family. One particular eye catching headline was Alex claiming there was proof she was innocent. The proof was a symbol, a sort of hitman code to Hades and the family. Jennova definitely didn't have the cleanest slate on her and everyone knew well and truly she was the murderer of their mother but did blood really erase blood and make Alex innocent? Absolutely not. Jenn had dad's blood in her and she'd do whatever she was asked so it was hardly surprising.
David and Jenn owned their cold blooded, murderous status. Alex was still an idiot in denial trying to justify her reasons and earn the approval and affections of others like claiming she was innocent. Big word and that was a big statement.
Everyone else could buy into that bullshit but not David. His intentions remained the same.

He was the same for the most part, only he increased his shut down the world time and would encase himself in shadow.

David sat on the porch of his cabin, a fag between his fingers as thunder rumbled through the sky. With the unstable bitch and her brother the sudden storms weren’t surprising anymore. Yet this storm was a delightful change of routine coming down red. He took in a slow drag observing from the safety of the land's structure that made his cabin tuck into a shallow cave. Finally some apocalyptic signs. David smiled and flicked the cigarette out into the blood and headed into the comfort of his cabin. David couldn't wait for it all to end already. One way or the other.

The liquid that poured from the sky wasn't rain of red color as he first thought. Instead it had a different density to it. Daniel took a while to click that it was blood and once he did he freaked out.
"Is this you?"
"What? No! Even I have my limits. Get out of here."
Daniel jogged to his cabin to escape possibly the worse thing nature could give. The perk was it helped him remember he wasn't alone last night and she was still there, rugged up on his couch.

"Hi." She smiled a sweet, warm kind that managed to put a glow in the day despite the whole blood rain aspect.
He wiped his hand over his face to get rid of any remaining red specs and mirrored her gorgeous smile joining her on the couch and tucked his own legs under the blanket with her. "You found my stash."
"I did. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. I don't want to overstep any boundaries." Her eyes looked him over before her smile extended to a coy grin and she hid her face in his shoulder.
"No, it's okay. I like that you feel comfortable here. And I especially like what happened last night. I had a great time. Did you?" He smiled looking into her eyes, studying her expressions carefully.
"I did." She was on the verge of giggling and she nodded. "I really did." A delicate finger traced his jaw line. "What's going on outside? You looked a little frazzled at first."
Daniel pursed his lips. He didn't want to ruin the moment for them but all it took was a glance outside and she'd see for herself. "It's a really abnormal storm.”
She swiveled around to face the window and she frowned. "Oh my god. It's-"
"I know but since we're pretty home bound we can just hang here. Netlfix and chill." He smirked and chuckled.
At first she seemed to be endeared by his natural mischievous charm then she shook herself out of it. "But still don't you think we should do something? I mean the whole area...all of Camp Athens is our home and it's an intense storm and raining blood! Doesn't that require a bit of investigation at least?"
"Well what can we do? Unless you want to actually bathe in blood. I didn't know you were a spawn of Ares."

The points and counter points continued until Daniel's side won over. Until the awful storm passed, they'd stay inside since it's all they could do. Instead they threw around blind theories of whose doing it was and what it could mean until they became content again, nestled to each others bodies pretending to watch whatever was on the tv.

They talked about their experiences with their shoes in the other's world.
Caitlin didn't see complete destruction and impulsiveness or belittle his habit to conjure or summon obstacles. Daniel didn't see her and her powers as just a pretentious prude's.

The storm that presented itself was a freak of nature. Although nature had nothing to do with it he mentally added gazing out his workshop's window. Also out in the storm he noticed was a person. Alex. He rushed around to the front of his workshop and she was still there, just standing there like she was in some other world. "Alex." He looked up to the sky under his own secure roof and not drenched in blood like her. The storm didn’t look like it’d let up any time soon. "Alex," he called one more time.
It became clear she wasn’t responding to him for some reason or another and he ran out there to collect her. Duke took her hand and waist and dragged her into cover in his workshop. "Are you okay?" He asked looking her over.

Once she was slightly more settled in Duke offered her a seat, towel and hot drink. Anything that would make her feel more at ease and comfortable. Alex was a complex young lady with a vibrant soul but she had a heavy burden on her shoulders and they needed to talk about it and release the mountain from her shoulders. Duke took her much smaller hands in his contrasting larger pair and squeezed them reassuringly. He was there for better or for worse. "You need to be honest with me okay? What's going on? We need your head in the game. You and Ajax both. More than ever. Especially now." In terms of this storm, maybe they could counter it with their own pure storm. But more importantly, he could feel it in his gut that the war was approaching. Alex needed to get out of her own head otherwise she wouldn't stand a chance.

Alex could hear him calling to her, but it felt stuck to the soaked Earth beneath her boots, making sure that she could not run away from the problem she had brought upon the entire camp. All actions have consequences, so this must have been hers. Duke managed to snap her out of it by pulling her into his workshop to get out of the crimson rain. It had her covered head to toe, smearing down over her tanned skin. "It's all my fault." she told him gently as he checked her over. "I did this. The world is probably angry at me for killing one of our own. I'm a... I'm a killer, Duke." she had known that for a while, but actually allowing it to sink in had been the hardest part. Of course.

"Thank you" she hugged herself before shivering a little, then took the seat he offered to her, drank the hot drink, and then cleaned herself off with the towel as best she could. He took her hands into his much larger ones once she felt more relaxed.

"You need to be honest with me okay? What's going on? We need your head in the game. You and Ajax both. More than ever. Especially now."

Alex let out a sigh, her hands holding onto his still. She didn't want him to leave her side since she could feel danger lurking around the corner. Duke, more than capable of handling himself, had never once put himself before others, and that is what scared her the most since he wasn't that much different from Ajax. They'd both try to be heroes. "You're right I'm sorry, it's just..." she got up from where she sat, ready to head back out there. "..We need to get Ajax and warn the others. Something feels wrong."

*******

Ajax wasn't expecting anyone today, so he decided to relax for the afternoon, take in some alone time before getting to work on the activities for tomorrow. The weekends were always the best since it gave everyone an excuse to be lazy, but not completely, not for Ajax. There had been so many times where he wished he wasn't the leader, or even the son of Zeus. Ajax sighed when there was a knock on his door. He had a feeling it wouldn't be long until someone needed him. He moves across the room, then opens the door the second he's there, but quickly forgets about needing his space and quickly sees to Andy who is covered in blood. "What the hell happened?" He looked passed her, and saw that the sky was turning just as crimson as the rain. There in the middle of it, a storm. It definitely wasn't their father. "Alex?" surely this wasn't her. He knew she hadn't been herself for some time now, but this!?

"get to the main hall. Quickly." he kissed her once, then ran out into the rain, heading towards where the Camps large main bell hung on it's large thick post. He felt bad for leaving Andy yet again, but there was no time to show how much he loves her since real danger was creeping its way towards their home. He skidded to a stop once he reached it, and grabbed the rope with both of his hands. Putting all of his muscled power into it, he pulled the large rope down towards to ground, and the golden bell began to swing, causing it's powerful wave of a warning tone to echo right across the entire camp like a war Siren. This bell meant they all needed to be at the main hall that was built like a large Greek temple, held up by strong white pillars. For centuries that hall had been protected by the Gods themselves, just like the Camp, but this hall was extra protection in times of need. Times like this.

*******

Alex snapped her head towards the door the second she heard that Bell, then looked to Duke. "You ready?" She furrowed her brows, knowing this was it. The war was coming.

Daniel was just about to kiss her again before the bell rang out and he hung his head back groaned. Everything was against him expressing his affections towards her.
If the girl he had a spark for wasn't going around kissing and flirting with others, the universe was against him.
"Moment of truth," she said as if it was something to look forward to.
Any meeting or gathering they were all called to, much more with that warning warning bell was bad news. But bless her still for her optimism. "Yes, the sorting hat will reveal which house we belong to. I'm still detecting Ravenclaw. Maybe even Hufflepuff." He wobbled his hand.
Through the gasp there was a smile. "Well you don't need to go because I am 103 percent sure you are in Slytherin. The house of cunning, greed and ambition. With David and nobody else on this camp," she said pointedly.
Daniel grinned and nodded. "We're very self driven men. And uh, Andy...the sister's got to be in Gryffindor."

By the time they gave everyone a house through a jog, they had reached the hall and there was no more humor or diffusion escape routes. Daniel shuddered. Ajax would talk about the looming elephant head first. They would reply if they weren't so utterly depressed. But the environment and mood managed to shut the renowned trickster down and any wit, lost from his sleeves.
He sat on his own despite seeing Andy and David. At best he pressed his lips in a line with the eyes he met. One that incidentally communicated his lack of confidence. He was about amusement and entertainment, and pushing limits and training for fun. He always had some element of control. But not with blood rain and whatever curse it meant.

"You're right I'm sorry, it's just..." He wasn't scolding her about it but she got up from where she sat seeming eager to head back outside as Duke's hands slipped back down by his own sides. "..We need to get Ajax and warn the others. Something feels wrong." Duke's eyes followed her every step she made and he was listening intently.
Duke pursed his lips Absolutely something was wrong, the sky was red and it released alike red rapid droplets of blood. While the camp deserved to be informed, he didn't want it to become Alex's task. He swooped in front of her. "Hey, I don't feel good about.." as he was about to express his disapproval the bell sounded.

Alex simply looked at him. "You ready?" she said.
There was no choice in the matter. "You stay with me, alright?" They really couldn't afford for her to wander off or lose her own mind or sprang an ankle. This was the time for everybody to be at peak performance and as overrated as it sounded, the best version of themselves, physically and mentally at least.

Duke headed to the hall, Alex always within touching distance and sight. It seemed extensive to hover over the daughter of Zeus in such a manner but she was a fragile soul and he feared luck was not on their side.

They made it there in one piece and well enough conditions and for a moment, only a moment, he felt like he could breathe. But the worse was yet to come.

The bell rang out snapping her out of the spell. Trinity composed herself with a deep breath and she raked her fingers through her hair forcing herself to rise and face the crimson storm again. While it wasn't an exceptionally high danger risk, it had an incredibly nerving effect and personally she didn't want to look like Carrie. She walked briskly with the hood over her head trying to find a land mark that indicated her cabin, for some reason water threatening to pool in her eyes. For now, she moved towards the alerting tones of the bell to find that land mark she needed.

Trinity regrettably paused looking between the direction of the hall and her cabin, clenching her fists. She didn't want to cause grief to the others or be locked out of the hall but she'd hate herself if she didn't get what she needed from her cabin. Trinity broke into a jog.

A small sigh in relief escaped her when she reached her cabin like she somehow expected it to be damaged or ash. She swung open her door, and almost missed a beat spotting the mess of tracks spread throughout her cabin. She paced into her room, rummaged through some drawers until she found what she was looking for, stuffing it in her pockets then came pacing back out mostly relieved the intruder hadn't gotten hands on her prized possessions. Her eyes scanned the inconsistent pattern like they were searching for something but she had to forget about it for now. There were bigger issues.

She ran for the meeting point keeping her head low and trying to dodge large puddles and keep her feet until the moment she was safe and in the hall away from the rain but she still had to make effort to gather herself. Trinity almost passed the bloody and muddy guard before paying him a glance. “Wes!” She pulled herself up short. Part of her wanted to chuckle because she thought she'd never see the day he was so dirty, but majority of her was startled. “Jesus, you okay?” Trinity held his shoulders to study him, her eyes darting up and down and across him. It was definitely his eyes and his frame.

Trinity would have hugged him if time, place and circumstance allowed such a gesture. But screw it. She hugged him tightly anyway, tip toeing so her chin could be pass his shoulder. When she drew back she gave him a small smile and found her own space in the hall standing up. She was much too restless to sit.

"Hey, I don't feel good about.." She flickers her gaze to the direction the bells coming from, blinking softly before she took one skip in her step towards the door, but stopping the second Duke swooped in-front of her. He towers her with his muscular height, causing her to take one little step back as she looks up to him with a small gentle smile. "You stay with me, alright?" after a second or two, she nodded two little nods before following him out of his workshop, keeping herself within reaching distance as they headed towards the hall. Others were there, luckily, but no sign of her brother just yet. Alex remains with Duke, not leaving his side as she looks around the entire hall. Each one of them covered in the rain, some sitting close and hugging with how cold they felt.

Standing in the hall like this felt like thousands of eyes were upon her with disgust, so she turns her eyes away, avoiding any gazes towards her. Surely they felt like blaming her for this entire thing!? why wouldn't they? - Zeus's daughter, once innocent, now plagued with a darkness that wanted to badly unleash itself, to turn her into someone who craved deeper for a revenge that would never be fed. With a gentle swallow, she looks to Dukes closest hand, watching the entire time how it steadily moved towards his with slight hesitance at first. Her soft fingertips glide gently down against the palm of his hand before her dainty fingers began slipping between his own. Now holding his hand, she looks up, her eyes staring at him without one single word. He felt like the light she needed, a warmth that kept her away from being so alone.

******

After 5 minutes or so, Ajax came through the door covered in the same crimson blood. "Everyone listen up.." he closed the doors and moves to the front of the hall, making himself stand on the stage so they can all see him clearly. His eyes glance around, taking each face into account, and counting every head to make sure no one was missing. "Where's Theo?"

"He's not here yet, but I know he's safe." one of the Demigods spoke up to vouch for him. Ajax nods. "Alright, then you'll have to fill him in on the details." they gave one nod, remaining silent after that to listen to what the son of Zeus has to say.

"What-ever this is, it's coming for us." he couldn't lie to them, they need the truth so they can prepare. Properly. "This is going to be far more advanced than training. There is no time for fear, there is only time to stand together and fight." hopefully this inspirational speech of his would help to spark the warriors they all had inside of them since their very first breath at birth. "we, are the sons and daughters of Gods & Goddesses... we have to do this for them, for each other. " he turns his head to look at his sister, Duke, then his gaze drifts over to Andy who's sat with David. Even though he cares for everyone on Camp, even David, those three are the ones he cares for the most.

"If anyone wants to walk away from this, if you want no part in it because you're too afraid.... we'll understand." part of him hoped no one would leave, but the other part of him wishes they would so he has no-one to lose other than himself. When no one left, his eyes threatened to fill with tears since they were more than ready to follow behind him into battle. To the death if necessary. "One last chance before we prepare..." he looks around for the final time, waiting for a couple of them, or most of them to leave. but still, no one left. He nodded and looks around at them once more. "Then get ready for battle." he orders them gently, but sternly.

Andy sat beside him and with that, he smiled slightly. Her sitting by him said that they were okay and more importantly she was okay. Especially with the dialogue that followed. "So how bad does it look?" David paid her an appropriate glance and smiled more. "Like a took a bath in tomato soup?"
"Something like that. Though that's wishful thinking" he admitted compared to the real alternative. "Sure doesn't smell like tomato." As things were though, he didn't have to break off into the mess she really looked like and the hall now smelt like.

David gave Ajax his attention as he spoke up. Usually Daniel fell by his side in these cases and they'd mutter their own mocking thoughts on his speeches, but there was no Daniel and now had been a more intense subject than ever. Though never directly said

it was certainly impressionable that the war they had been training for was around the corner now. "We have to do this for each other." The son of Zeus eyes targeted individuals helplessly including the woman next to David. He risked a glance to her too before staring ahead again. At least one fair group of people would do it for each other.

But David needed to find his own motivation. If anybody was going to throw the world into damnation it was Hades and him together. Plus, he didn't particularly feel like dying today. He glanced around the hall for those who took up the offer to leave before it was too late and David was honestly expecting a few heads to rise and leave but nobody budged. David was surrounded by what he would have considered days ago as no more than expendable peers but now he saw a unit and a field of young people standing between Titans destructive path.

Not everybody deserved to die today and others refused to die.
"Then get ready for battle." The words and the meaning seemed surreal.
David turned to Andy slowly. "See you on the other side?" He didn't know if that was an appropriate thing to say since he had never been in battle before but he felt some departing gesture was necessary. At the same time, he did not wish for some long winded soppy one.
David got up and inhaled sharply spotting Alex finally looking like the true reflection of her soul. He had done a great favor to date by her, avoiding her at all costs. Spotting her hands in the older demigods though, he saw she was just a girl too. David snarled and paced out for the armoury. He did not condone her or her actions but for now he had to let it go. Bigger fish to fry and all that.

HEX:#fd0101 || Outfit

Her presence in the hall had captured a few eyes but Alex had nothing to fret when she was by his side. This wasn't her fault and those that blamed her were just looking for an obtainable target to blame. Easier to believe it's her than the war coming for them.
As Duke stood to attention soldier-like and ready for the orders and march out the hall at the say so, Alex's hand came into contact with his and her fingers slid between his. Duke's peripheral vision saw her look up to him then but Duke kept his eyes dead ahead where Ajax stood but he gave her hand a gentle reassuring squeeze in response.

Ajax admitted that the threat was big, bad, merciless and dangerous and it was coming for them. They had to stand together and fight, do it for their parents and each other. Duke inclined his chin as Ajax looked to him, encouraging him to carry on being honest but inspirational at the same time. Probably his largest leader task and there was no manual for it. He gave the offer for people to even leave if they found it too much but nobody did. Duke smiled a little, proud to be a part of such a loyal and courageous group.

Before he could let go of Alex's hand and prepare for battle, David was one of the first to rise and stiffen. Duke inclined his chin slightly again hoping he wouldn't do anything stupid in a time like this and he didn't. He kept walking. Duke checked the coast was clear before he stepped in front of Alex before he lost her among the rush of preparation for battle.
"You. You're going to be fine okay? Stay focused and ambitious. Give them a taste of all your power." Alex could escape the battle without a scratch if she played to her utter strengths. Her small frame and size, ability of flight, ability of electrocution and to summon lightening. All would be a remarkable force.

Theo had been away for a couple of days to clear his mind, hunt, and most importantly train his new "ability". It wasn't necessarily a new ability though. He always had the capability of doing it. He just never really tried it until Jason came along and pushed him to. Theo was glad Jason had though. The ability to wield weapons in his mouth while in his wolf form could prove highly useful. It had turned out that Jason was nothing more than an excellent trainer. He stuck around for a few weeks, pushing the young demigods, suggesting new tactics, and then he vanished. He did seem to bring out the best in those who listened to him, and Theo was no exception.

As he approached camp, he reverted back to his human form. Slicking his hair behind him, he let the cool air rush over his face. Theo had let his hair grow out. He had to admit that he liked the long hair. It gave him a manlier Thor like vibe. As he descended the mountain, camp came into view. Theo immediately felt the hairs on his neck stand up. He was surrounded by a beautiful sunny day, but as he looked down at his home, there was nothing sunny to be seen. The sky about camp was painted with clouds of a deep red hue. Sensing danger, Theo sprung down the mountain in his wolf form. Picking up speed with each leap, he bounded towards camp and the people he had grown to love. A million thoughts rushed through his mind as he neared the center, rushing past his cabin and through the trees. He felt the rain falling on him, and he immediately smelled the blood in the air. As he burst into the clearing he saw a girl named Caitlin. He reverted to his human form, startling her as he landed on two feet gracefully. "What is going on? Where are the others?" Theo urged as he gestured at the scene around them. He nodded as she explained the rain had suddenly appeared, mumbled something about the war (to which Theo gave an awkward cringe), and pointed toward the armory.

Theo could see his comrades running towards the armory. He took off in their direction, electing to remain his human self. He needed a plan. Remembering his new ability, Theo formulated an idea. He bounded past a few others before passing Trinity, tapping her on the shoulder as he sprinted by. That's the one he would defend at all costs, though he had grown close to all of the camp's core members. Theo ran into the armory and stopped dead center. Spotting his bow and quiver of arrows in their usual spot, he slung the pair over his shoulder. He also grabbed a large bag to hold the spears he intended to pick up before running back out to lay out his plan of action when the battle ensued. He took the spears and placed each up against a tree. He had grabbed twelve spears in all, enough to have them evenly spaced out around the rough circle made up by the edges of the clearing. As he finished up this task, he saw Ajax and Alex near the main hall. Theo slowed upon approach. "Sorry I'm late. I think I'm gonna get on top of a building so I have a good vantage point to shoot from," Theo stammered out as he was slightly short on breath. He almost smiled. Theo was ready for some action.

After her big brother finished, she licked her lips gently. This war should never be happening since they were all still practically kids compared to Gods and Titans. She took in a deep shaky breath before letting it out heavily in the form of a sigh, watching everyone filter out of the hall to prepare. Her eyes found Wes last. The look on his face broke her heart since he felt just as worried as the rest of them. She understood his concerns of being an offspring to a Goddess of love, A Goddess who avoided wars at all cost. It left him with little to almost no confidence in himself, but she had faith in her friend, she knew he was capable of being a warrior just like the rest. No matter how many times she told him, though, he still has doubts. Maybe Trinity will be there for him, just encase, but to still give him the space to prove to himself that he's more than the son of Aphrodite.

She went to follow him before Duke stepped in front of her, her eyes remaining on his chest as she gently placed the her hand on his torso. She could feel his heart beating beneath her palm. It was filled with so much life, and warmth... she didn't want those monsters ripping it away from him. She began to look up at him, her brows pulling painfully together as she stored every inch of his face in her memories. As her eyes threatened to pool up with tears, his words gave her courage. He pulled on her heart- strings since it felt like a goodbye. Every single person she cared about was about to fight for their lives, about to lose their own loved ones. "You. You're going to be fine okay? Stay focused and ambitious. Give them a taste of all your power." She tried her best to tug the corners of her lips up into a smile.

Alex's breathing quickened before she flung her arms around him, hugging him close to her with her eyes squeezing shut. "Don't let them take you away from me." she whispered before pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.

She lowers her arms and walks towards the hall door, but then stops. With closed eyes, she swallows and quickly turns back around, rushing towards him. Her lips crash against his once close enough, and her arms around his neck. She had to do it. Just once. She needed him to give her the extra strength. With both hands, she cups his face and slowly pulls back, pealing her lips slowly off of his own as her eyes look up at him, but this time it's with more determination for war. "Let's show them exactly what we're capable of." she smiles, then heads off, but before she could leave she stops dead in front of Daniel. She hoped he hadn't seen her just kiss Duke. She held her right arm with her left hand, preparing for him to say something about it.

"Sorry we didn't work out. We could have made quite the power couple." He smirked and winked, Alex sighed she walks past him, her shoulder brushing past his own.

Once at the armory, Alex placed on the clothes she had prepared long before this day. With the lightning bolt shaped sword attached to her back, she sat down on a chair with a circular metal tin in her hand as her other hand began to twist off the lid. Inside was a black substance that she began to paint with on her face. It was war paint. "Anyone want some?" she offered, holding it out towards them. A couple of them turned the offer down, but others used it and passed it around the room.

She was ready.

*******

“Hey, is there a plan or strategy of a sort?” she asked lowly. “I mean there are a lot of angles they can come from. I just want to do my part as best as I can,” she explained to him softly. "Don't die?" he told her, then wandered out the hall towards the armory where the others were and gets geared, placing it on over him in one of the changing cubicles. He pulls the strings on his cuffs, making sure they weren't too tight but enough to support both wrists. He looks to Alex and walks over to her and hugs her to him as he places a kiss on top of her head. "I love you, little sister. Stay safe out there."

"Ditto." he swallows at that, and quickly turns his attention to the blonde. "Trinity, do you have a plan for us?" he asks, tightening his belt around his waist which he attaches daggers to.

While her brothers talking war with the rest, Alex looks to a couple sat in the corner of the room. They were spending their possible last couple of minutes together while holding hands. When one of them looked up, Alex gave them a little smile before looking away. If only she hadn't killed David's sister, if only she had offered to be the martyr that stops all of it. Though, who was to say that her death would bring peace? Hades wouldn't stop until Zeus had lost everything, including himself. Hades wanted to finally be the King of Mount Olympus, to take the rules into his own hands. He wouldn't kill Zeus, death was too quick... so instead, Hades had decided to make Zeus watch him kill every single one he loves and cares for, before Hades could watch Zeus rot in the underworld where Zeus would break down into thousands of pieces when he realizes he is the one alone instead.

The ground began to rumble, cutting their little plan meeting short. Ajax quickly made his way to the front. "THIS IS IT!" he shouts over the loud sounds coming from outside. The Titans were making their way towards the camp. "FIGHT WITH EVERY INCH OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE YOU HAVE. FIGHT FOR OUR GODS, FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER, AND DIE WITH HONOR!" he continues to shout. "SHOW THEM WHO YOU ARE. SHOW THEM EXACTLY WHAT WE CAN DO. LETS END THIS!" He shouts even louder.

~ Music for the battle

Alex and the others head outside behind Ajax, the titans who were getting even closer. Two sides, good and Evil, ready to clash into battle at the center of the world, the heart of humanity. "Stand your ground!" Trees fell as the almost giant sized Titans pushed through them like they were made of cardboard. Their smaller minions who looked like men made out of hard stone, ran quickly towards them, scattering out in all directions. Some even crawled on all fours, using their hands and feet, and climbing the trunks of trees like Spiderman on the side of a building.

Just as the fight was about to happen, the skys errupted with loud crashes of thunder and lightning. The Olmpic Gods raced down towards the Camp like shooting stars glowing bright. The first there of course, was Zeus. He held up a barrier, blocking off most of them to give the Demigods a chance to pick off the minions that had slipped through the Gods line. As one few first stragglers headed towards Ajax and the others, he put up his fists before punching the Titan square in his face. It seemed to happen in slow motion, sending the enemy flying backwards into another.

the other minions began to scramble up the Gods wall as the bigger ones beat the force field with large wooden clubs.

"You okay sis? You look like you're ready," Daniel said, catching her attention. She pushed off the windowsill, turning around to face him. He then pulled her into a hug.

Andy sighed, muffling her mouth into his shoulder. "I'm kind of terrified," she whispered only loud enough for him to hear. She didn't like admitting it, but there was no point in hiding it either. She was worried for everyone.

The hug lasted a long while before Daniel pulled away and tapped her chin, making her laugh. "Wish I met you sooner."

Andy playfully moved his hand away, but her showed the seriousness her voice lacked. "Yeah... Well, we're going to survive this so you can bug me more." She lingered in the hall for a while before finally following everyone else to the armory. She glanced down at her thigh enchanted thigh holster, then around the room. Andy had no idea how to use most of the things in there. She swallowed back the lump in her throat as she watched everyone prepare.

She slowly made her way through the crowds of worrying and preparing campers, bee-lining for Ajax. Andy knew that saying goodbye... Or anything wasn't good and generally made everything worse, but she needed to say something to him. David, Daniel and Ajax were the most important people to her... And Ajax was the only one she hadn't spoken more than two words to. Her hand was nearly on his shoulder when the ground rumbled. She reached out, stabling herself against a weapon rack.

"THIS IS IT! FIGHT WITH EVERY INCH OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE YOU HAVE. FIGHT FOR OUR GODS, FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER, AND DIE WITH HONOR! SHOW THEM WHO YOU ARE. SHOW THEM EXACTLY WHAT WE CAN DO. LETS END THIS!"

Andy was herded outside with everyone else. She watched, wide eyed as the Gods shot to the ground, building a barrier. But it wasn't enough. She took a deep breath, her right hand reaching down and picking up three throwing knives, holding one between each finger. The instant one of the smaller minions was over the barrier, she threw the knives at him. He deflected one but the other two slammed into his forehead and sent him to the ground.

She turned around to see another one of the stone minions running up behind Ajax. "Behind you!" she shouted. There wasn't enough time for Andy to throw a knife. She raised her hands, butts of her palms together. When she arched her fingers like claws the minion froze. In a swift movement, she twisted her hands in opposite directions and threw her arms apart. The minion groaned as his torso twisted and then split in half. His upper half moved in one direction while his waist and legs in another. With her hold still on him, Andy took his dead pieces and slammed them into oncoming minions, knocking them over like bowling pins.

***

Wes stood on the far side of the armory, facing the wall as he put on the best fitting armor he could find. He tried to steady his breathing as he tightened the straps on his sides. Would he survive? Probably not. That was the hard part. What could he do? He was as helpful as child of Dionysus. He knew Trinity was about as stubborn as an Ox. She wouldn't let him die. But he didn't want her risking herself for him, he wouldn't let her... or anyone do that.

He cleared his throat, picking up the largest and most aerodynamic looking spear. He tapped it on the ground a couple times before turning towards the room that was now swarming with with other campers. "Anyone want some?"

Wes walked over to Alex, dipping his index and middle finger into the war paint. "Will it help?" he asked with a chuckle. He wiped a line under each eye. He was sure he looked utterly ridiculous. He wasn't a warrior and sure as hell didn't look like one. With or without war paint. He looked back up to Alex, giving her a slight smile. He didn't know what to say. His grip tensed on his spear as he took a deep breath and looked down.

Then the ground began to rumble. It quickly took the breath from him as his gaze darted around. He tried to remain calm as Ajax addressed everyone. ...Die with honor. Those words hit him deep. He swallowed hard before following everyone outside. He could do this... right?

"Oh my god," he gasped at the sight of one of the Titan monsters. It was huge. How were they going to take something like that down? He watched the giant fumble its way over the barrier. His gaze drifted from the spear in his hand to the giant monster. He lifted the spear and threw it, lodging the large projectile into the monster's knee. The giant looked down at it, unfazed, then looked back at him. If it was possible to be more angry, he was. He growled and started towards Wes full-throttle. "Oh... fuck."

He had a quick hug from Andy but he didn't mind. Not in the least. "Whoever kills the least monsters owes the other a drink."
David managed to laugh and nod in agreement. "Done."

Being one of the decisive and first to the armory David got first pick and his eyes found an axe. Before he could grab the weapon his eyes found another, a scythe of a sort and David smirked. If that wasn't meant to be, what was. The true weapon of choice stood out to him like a beacon and he snatched it quickly from the rack, thanking Duke or whoever crafted it internally.

As David stood outside testing the weight and balance, the ground began to rumble and he tightened his hold. Ajax bolted to the front then, yelling some more inspiration. The Titans turned their surroundings to a disaster's state, knocking down trees and not losing a beat, but slightly more agile and quicker were the men of stone coming for them.

The Gods descended upon them and held off the larger threats while the minions found their way through Zeus's forcefield.

The human race would never acknowledge their valiant efforts to fend the monsters off but that was somehow okay. David was doing it for himself.

David sliced upward at the stone creature that came for him and pulled back the blade instantly to push back a fellow incoming minion from the side with the hilt of the scythe.

HEX:#fd0101 || Outfit

It was highly possible for feelings to get confused among the chaos. Duke only stiffened as her lips went on his then nodded to her in departure before running outside equipping himself with some weapons and armor.

The ground quaked and trees cracked and crumbled, bending and bowing for the Titans and Duke turned to see them surrounding the camp. The enemies came in different shapes and sizes and many numbers. Before the factor became overwhelming, the Gods joined their offsprings in battle. Most of them anyway. But was it enough?

Duke glanced around to see most Demigods locked in battle with the minions before glancing to the bigger threats. He was convinced if you took down the big ones, the littler one would flee or lose will and strength to fight. So Duke kept his eyes on the prize hungrily. Even Gods could use help.
He hurled a sword at one of the stone men that went through its forehead. Duke paced up to it, retrieving his weapon and fighting others off and away from him and other vulnerable positions to his peers.

They were like an unstoppable storm. More replaced the fallen right away. Duke leaned back and just out of reach of a few hacks that came his way before replying with a thrust of his sword and kick off his blade.
He whirled around laying eyes on the Titan approaching quicker than others, making it through the barricade and now a camp mate. His first instinct was to call Ajax for help but he had a job to do and loves of his life to look after.
"Trinity!" He called instead. Not because she was expendable but because she knew what she was doing and she'd be motivated with Wes in danger. "Aim big!" Duke gestured above. The force field was going to come apart at some stage. He clasped his hands together, palms facing upward prepared to give her a boost.
Duke didn't know if they could kill it, but weaken it at least or slow it down.

HEX: #8b9068 || Outfit

So...no plan. Plan. Structure. No structure. Whatever was the case, Trinity was the one he was putting low-key faith in. War was something she was made for while Zeus's kids were made to rule and be leaders. Strong as they were, they didn't have war in their veins or the mentality.

He jigged with anticipation as the ground rumbled and the titans were seen with their minions charging forward.

The alarm bells started wailing at that point and even as the Gods joined their spawns, it wasn't assuring enough as minions got through the wall and climbed over the wall and spread like the sea. And the giants they were slamming against Zeus's powerful boundary and if his eyes were serving him right, the shield flickered and would soon fault.
"What do we do!? What do we do?!" Daniel demanded the closest person to him.
He was knocked off his feet then, one of the minions charging for his companion and him being collateral damage fortunately.

A helping hand clasped his arm and led him to his feet. David gave Daniel a knowing wink once he came into focus. "And you're loaded with potential. I'd hate for you to be an enemy." David hugged him quickly. "You're a good brother to have around." He spoke in unknowing terms of Andy and himself. "Stick to your strengths."

Andy turned into an utter demon. Most of his peers transformed into warriors like he hadn't seen before.

David had left his side returning to his own space of battle, and minions started closing in on Daniel. Stick to your strengths.
Daniel surprised himself in warping himself and his foes to a theme park after hours and they looked just as disorientated before Daniel sprang into attack mode, opening up a locker and pushing one's head inside and slamming it closed repeatedly until he imagined it as something more solid like the reinforced and thick steel of a vault.

Daniel ducked under the second attacker's swing and forced him onto the tracks of a roller coaster and manipulated the ride that hit 124 mph to come to life. Many follicles of stone and dust flicked up from the remains then he was back in camp panting. He tossed away those that got too close with a wave of his hand until he could start playing attack again.

"Will it help?" Wes asks jokingly.
"Definitely." she winks, "It's anti-titans." she smiles before patting him once on his shoulder. "You'll be fine. I promise." Alex wanders out the door then and into battle. Ajax got to punch one already, and luckily Andy helped him with the one he didn't see at first. "Thanks." he said to Andy before he was fighting again. There was no time for anything else.

It was a lot more worse than the visions had shown her. The earth was already, in her hallucinations, turning red with blood. Remembering what Duke had told her, she shook it off to get her head straight. Their enemies were coming from every angle and in vast numbers. Ares, who had turned up with the rest of the Gods, began to slice his way through a couple of the stoned men, his arms moving in blurred movements with his speed. His sword sliced through them like a knife through butter, splitting their entire bodies in half. It was a gory sight to see, but at least some of their enemies were already falling. Still, it was no where near finished. Alex looked in the direction of where Theo managed to grab an advantage point for his archery skills which would come in handy. The arrows might not kill them, but they would distract them for the other Demigods to slip by and take them out before they find their feet. Alex gave him one nod.

Everything was moving so quickly as they all began to morph into warriors defending their home and loved ones. Zeus, as strong as he is, wasn't going to be able to hold that force field barrier for long, so she quickly thought of a plan while taking out her sword, and stood her ground for the time being, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Pain can sometimes be a good thing If handled with care, it can be a learning curve to help shape a new future that will eventually lead down the correct path. Alex has lost her way many of times, but with the strength and determination she has inherited from her Father, and the courage that has been given from her mother... nothing can possibly stop her from springing back to the child that was filled with so much warmth and light, but right now!? becoming an unstoppable force was the better option.

She broke into a run.

---SONG While she's running forward & fighting---

One of the stone men changed his direction once he saw the daughter of Zeus running for the barrier. Once close enough to her, he knocks her to the ground, causing her sword to fly out of her hand. She thinks fast, quickly scrambling towards the sword once her eyes spotted it laying in the grass.
With her fingertips on the swords leather handle, another minion come out from nowhere so it seemed, and stepped on the back of her hand, making it feel like the bones were crushing under their foot. She shouts out in agony, before the one behind her grabs her with his fist clenching a fist full of her hair, pulling her forcefully to her feet. Her hands hold his wrist, gritting her teeth in pain as the one who stepped on her draws out a dagger, ready to slit the woman's exposed throat. Just as he's about to attack, Alex shoots out bolts of lighting, causing the one behind her to burst into shards of rock that shattered across the battle field. She had no idea how powerful she had become through anger until that happened. It didn't stop the other. As he swung his fist at her, Alex dodges it, grabs him by the arm, and then flings her legs up and around his neck.
The move she makes They crash to the ground in seconds where she has him head locked, squeezing the air out of him before twisting and snapping off his head. literally.

While Out of breath, she holds her mouth open breathlessly, looking around at the others with a few strands of hair dangling down in her face. Everyone so far was fine, but for how long? Seeing her brother flip over the minion, she notices the second running to him. She launches the sword across the field like a spear, his metal blade ringing through the end before piercing it through the minions eye, and pinning him to the tree that stood behind him.

Ajax felt the blade miss him, taking out the enemy. He looks in the direction it came from, and smiles seeing that his sister had saved him this time around before she made a run for it again, dodging swinging arms of enemies who tried their best to stop her along the way. Once reaching her Father, he looked at her and smiled. "You can do this." he encouraged her. Ajax and Zeus were proud of her anyway, but more so in this moment. She wasn't going to just die without a fight. Ajax brought her up better than that.

With her racing heart, Alex lifts her head to the sky, her arms out to the sides as she's allowing the storm to flow through her. Every hair on her body stood up as the bolts of lightning traveled to the palms of her hands, right down to the tips of her fingers. She could feel the core of her soul charging with so much power that it scared her. Letting go too soon would be catastrophic.

"Hold on!" Ajax shouts to her before running towards her. A minion grabbed him from behind, but that didn't stop or hold Ajax back for long. He quickly reaches up and back with his arms, swinging his legs up, and back, throwing the enemy over his head His move

Using his own abilities, he helped her hold it for a little longer. The barrier they were holding with their father would bide the others more time to pick off some of the stoned men before the barrier falls completely, freeing the angered, giant, frustrated monsters.

David continued to fight with his might but once he saw Andy booted into a trunk of a tree, his head snapped towards the giant. "Hey!" Before he could so much as step forward, arms wrapped tightly around his neck. David growled and tried to pull them off but they were unbelievably secure. Another approached and kicked him in the gut. He would have doubled over had he been allowed but he was forced to stand upright and endure another kick and another. Thats when he had enough. Shadow grabbed them suddenly and pulled them into darkness. David keeled over coughing and holding his stomach.
When he next looked up, the issue had been somewhat resolved. Andy was up again and Wes had sent the giant away.

But the battle continued to others and in so many ways.

David caught one's throat and slammed it to the ground. "What's the big guy's weaknesses?" The stone like man replied with gurgling and choking but there was no effort to form words and not enough time for torture. Who knew if these things even spoke English. David clenched his jaw and squeezed harder until there was a snap and the body went limp.

Duke watched twice the girls move swiftly on the giant to get to its head, but it shook both off each time.

Duke opened his palm and applied a burning heat to the chains, nothing to melt it but enough to become severe and painful and induce a wound on the giant and possibly embed the chain into its neck.

He slammed his elbow into another fast approaching and spun his sword around, decapitating another. He was charged into making his sword clatter to the ground and bumped into Alex. Duke shook it off quickly and turned to Alex gripping her arm to steady her. "You okay?" But there was no time to check before he was tackled to the ground and a spear just missing his ear.

The barrier around them was coming down as the giants kept pounding on it with their clubs and Daniel kept defending his ground, throwing minions about and into each other, forming sinkholes. Daniel thrust his hand outward to corrupt one's mind, seeing the same side as enemies and the peers of camp allies. It might not have been much but one more set of hands couldn't hurt.

Another big one got through. One thud, two thud, making it's way quickly for the demigods with its club raised and ready to

swing and take a strike. Daniel summoned some bats to disorientate it. They squealed and flapped frantically around the giants head while Daniel focused on the insides of the giant, trying to rip it's core. It batted his conjurations away then locked eyes with Daniel.

Daniel's nose flared as it dropped to its knee with a sort of whine. The other hand joined in heaving it harder and the giant's chest lurched forward, but it was still in one piece. If he just kept at it, he could do it. He was powerful enough to do it.
A sharp pain came from his back pushing through to his chest causing a short gasp. The blade was pulled out seemingly slow. It appeared the giant was smirking at him and Daniel fell to his knees. He watched a new deeper red spread across his shirt and many times he had seen his own blood but not like this. Not knowing it was something he couldn't come back from. His vision blurred and hearing dulled as grey smudges ran at the people he knew. "And..." He could barely manage her name. He just wanted to see she was okay before the darkness fell.

Then it did.

With electricity still surging down his arms and through his hands, Ajax's face strained from doing his best to hold the barrier up still with his sister and Zeus. Duke had bumped into her, but Alex didn't have time to say a thing before going back to battle with the other God's killing everything that came towards them. Ajax glances over his shoulder. Across the battlefield through the mass of fighters, he could see an injured temporarily passed out Daniel and his sister Andy who quickly ran to his rescue. He would have done the same for Alex in a heartbeat. He didn't truly feel alive until she was born.

He watched as Andy and Daniel became more and more in danger by the second, and even though Wes managed to divert the monster away, more saw the breaking force field that Andy had conjured. It cocooned them in a light blue dome that was flickering now and again. As a stone man ran towards their target, Ajax quickly dropped his hands, cutting off the electricity before flashing forward so quickly that he almost left a golden trail behind him.

Once arriving there in seconds, Ajax quickly put up his arms, crossing them at the wrists. They were covered in golden armor, and once they came in contact with the Stoneman's sharp sword, he pushed with all his strength to stop the blow coming down any further before throwing the Titan backward so hard that he smashed into a thousand pieces against the stone wall. Black blood splattered out of its broken body before Ajax turned to Andy, his hand on her force field gently, and his eyes on hers.

"Get him out of here, I'll watch your back." he promised. He didn't want anything to happen to her, and her brother needed to be her main focus right now. "The hall will protect you. Soon as this is over, I'll come for you." he had a feeling she wouldn't allow him to return to battle without her. So head strong. "Your brother needs you more than ever." he straightened up, facing their enemies to make sure they didn't come anywhere near Andy and Daniel.

Alex's hands began to shake. "Father.." he looked to her. "I can't..." he reached out to her with his free hand, his fingers stretching out towards hers. As Alex put her fingertips towards his, the earth began to quake. Low deep rumbles spread across the battlefield.

A huge blast erupted from the barrier seconds after their fingers touched, knocking both Alex and Zeus backward with a powerful force. The barrier was now broken.

"ALEX!!!" Zeus yelled as she lay on the ground still, but soon gasped for air before trying to stand. He fought his way towards her. "For a second, I... I thought I lost you, butterfly." She hugged him before he helped her up steadily. She placed her arm on his shoulder as the larger monsters headed straight towards them like a stampede, but they never took their eyes off each other. "I love you. Whatever you did in the past... I forgive you." she smiled, ready to die beside him if she had to. Their sacrifice would save everyone.

She slid her hand down his arm and held his hand before they both turned towards the oncoming stampede, standing their ground. Together. Death would be peaceful, but not the end. This was it. The clouds began to rumble, and the heavens opened, causing the rain to come down like the Earth was crying.

Once their enemy was close enough, Alex used her father's powers with her own and yelled out loudly like a war cry. Ajax quickly turned in his sister's direction, catching sight of the sonic blast that came out of her entire body. The shock wave traveled across the field, hitting the larger targets like bowling pins.

It seemed like the battle wasn't going to end, but everything must come to an end eventually. The earth was trembling beneath their feet, causing a couple of the demigods to lose their balance. With the minions now all destroyed, the Titans who had managed to regain their footing after the blast were yet again charging heavily, but sluggishly towards every single one of them. There were Five of them, and they looked more enraged than the first time around. Ajax clenched his jaw firmly as he stood in front of his sister slightly, ready to take the first step in bringing the enemy down, but before he could make that choice, their father steps in. "Wait," he told his son.

A loud crack echoed in the skies above as Zeus raised his hands back behind his head as if holding something. In seconds, two golden whips appeared. While holding firmly onto the handles, he threw the whips forward with all the power he had, sending the long ends of them crashing into the Titans arms before they latched around their target. With one firm, effortless tug, Zeus had the monster firmly trapped on the spot. "quickly... I'll hold it in place." the other Titans ran towards the others. One of them manages to kick one of the Demigods, a guy who's the offspring of Dionysus. He lay on the ground, motionless as the other Titans trampled passed him, luckily not standing on him in the process.

While Zeus still kept the Titan held in place, Ajax and Alex ran alongside each other, making their way towards the Titan. As Alex vaults up onto the monstrous ugly creature, she could see the horns coming out of its head, it's body thick and firm like armor, and it's breath... it smelled of dead fish as it opened its large mouth, showing off its pointy teeth. It roared out with anger, trying its best to raise its arms in an attempt to break the grip that Zeus had on it. Ajax Struck the Titans large belly with one punch, almost crippling his hand. Alex laughed, but soon as the Titan began to thrash around a little, Alex quickly took hold of its horns, holding on for her life.

"Use your sword!" Zeus shouts to her. With one hand still holding onto the horn still, she grew her sword off of her back, gripping the handle firmly as her legs dangled in the air. "Now," Zeus shouts again. As Ajax shocks the Titan to distract it, Alex drives the sword into its skull, causing the monster to topple over like a domino. It came crashing to the ground with Alex still holding on. She yanks out her sword before sliding it back into place on her back.

Alex hadn't even been home and remained in the outfit she wore in battle. She wasn't sure if he'd be in the workshop, but it wouldn't hurt to just find out. Yesterday was the worst day of their lives. So many Demigods had been killed to save each other, the Gods, and humanity itself. Once crossing the threshold, Alex wandered around taking a look at everything Duke had forged by his own bare hands. She carefully picked it up, admiring the masterpiece. Every detail that had been put into the design was remarkable and beautiful beyond words. He truly did have a gift worth being proud of since no one else on camp could ever create such fine weaponry as this.

"Duke?" she called out to him, not wanting to barge into the main section of his cabin, just encase he was enjoying his free space in the nude, or still sleeping in with the rest. She waited patiently for him to come out to where she was. Fully dressed. "If it's okay... I need to talk to you.." she told him softly, placing the sword back. She made her way towards him. "I..." she paused for a second, gathering her thoughts together while tucking in her bottom lip. She glances down at her hand as it fiddles with the bracelet around her wrist, given to her once by her mother. She didn't take it off. Not once.

"About that kiss before the war.. I... I didn't mean to." she finally gains the confidence to look up at his eyes, her lips gently pulling into a little smile as her stomach is doing little knots. "I just didn't know if I was going to see you again. I was scared," she admitted. Being afraid doesn't make anyone weak, but for someone like Alex and Ajax.. it cripples their reputation. So they hide it, but what they don't understand is.. they're still half human. They're allowed to be afraid.

"I couldn't bare the thought of not saying goodbye to you." A kiss wasn't needed, but it happened anyway. "I'm sorry." she wanted to leave at this point as she didn't fancy embarrassing herself anymore, but she needed to know that he was okay with it. That they didn't need to avoid each other over it.

On the other side of Camp, Ajax is up, dressed, and making his way to Andy's. Once there, he knocks on the door and waits patiently on the porch. He hadn't seen her or anyone since yesterday, and for good reason too. Everyone had lost everyone they knew and loved, and others were badly injured, but still alive. Ajax hated every second of it. He couldn't protect them all. No one could. He knocked one more time. "I'm coming in..." he spoke out gently while pushing open the door, then making his way into the lounge. He looked around. "Andy... are you here?" he would have checked upstairs, but he was already trespassing. "I just wanted to check on you and Daniel. I haven't seen anyone since yesterday."

Duke stuck around pass the battle to clean up his peers corpses and though stonemen and titans were a dreaded sight alive or dead on their territory, they could be left to rot and decay, at least until the next day or so. But the people he worked alongside for years and the innocent first years that met death, deserved better.

Even when Duke didn't really have the heart to, somebody simply had to get stuck with the less ideal job and protect the bodies.
He carried abandoned and wounded people to the med hut first then took care of the bodies.

THE NEXT DAY

Even his sturdy nature was shaken a little from the battle yesterday seeing the people he knew go down like bowling pins. The sad reality was life had to go on for those who were still alive, and time didn't stop to let people grieve and process then catch up with the rest of the world's pace.
Duke clenched one of his workbenches then struck it, luckily a solid structure and crafted as a superior artifact so as not to crumble under most pressure applied and heat.
"Duke?" He heard and sighed out hanging his head down. He just needed a moment to compose himself in front of the younger demigod. "If it's okay... I need to talk to you.." Duke came down the hall to receive his guest. "Sure," he said and smiled.
"I..." She began but seemed at a lost or hesitant. "About that kiss before the war.. I... I didn't mean to. I just didn't know if I was going to see you again. I was scared," she explained. Duke tried to get some words in but it was apparent Alex wasn't done. "I couldn't bare the thought of not saying goodbye to you. I'm sorry."
"Alex," he said while he had an opening. "There are no dramas here. It's fine. Emotions were at a high and we were at war." Truly it was fine by him and he thought nothing of it.
Duke pulled her into a hug. A kiss didn't change his perception of her. It was good to see she had made it. "Is everyone okay?" Obviously he meant in terms of those Alex related and cared about most because he had seen the body drops for himself.

Sleep wasn't a possibility for David and when someone entered his cabin unannounced early morning, his attitude and feelings about intrusion remained in tact. David charged at him and put his elbow at his throat. But the man pushed David off and pinned him to his mirror, with no more effort than lifting a finger.
"You escape a battle like that practically unscathed and that's how you repay me?" The vessel straightened down David's sleeves gently, a smile playing at his lips.

"What do you want?"
"Well, I've come to realize the importance of my last standing son. You and me, we're going to rule the Underworld together. And you're going to need lots of training when I leave it to meddle in mortal affairs more frequently." David stared at his father. To formerly go back and work in the Underworld seemed like a set-back from what he'd become. "You can even bring back that pretty girlfriend of yours, permanently. Anybody you want as ruler." He tapped David's shoulder and it made him jump. Hades smirked.
"What about h..him?" His voice shook.
"Ah yes, quite sad about your friend. You could have gone in business together to redeem the souls you bring back. But demigods as you know are much harder to bring back in one piece. Now I'll give you some time to pack your things, say your goodbyes if you must and I'll be waiting."

The man suddenly collapsed, indicating Hades leave back to the Underworld while David tried to figure out what to do, his heart beating out of his chest. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Then he paced around his cabin throwing open his cases and draws and began packing.

Hecate had left and mortals did what mortals did best and relied on professionals. Ambulance were called, the sight of a body just lying on a table too daunting for anyone to stomach and handle and Daniel transported in the ambulance with his body on a stretcher and father in duress.

His family waited outside but he was worse and useless support to them in the current state so he followed his body into emergency. The doctors evaluated the damage and treatment since Zane had to explain he wasn't present when the "freak accident" happened and risked the reputation of a bad father.
They put him on oxygen and moved him to ICU, and Daniel dawdled after his body. He honestly didn't know how to fight for his life like this or what it even meant.

Daniel lost all sense of time, but people had come and gone from his room but Zane was the most persistent and reluctant to ever leave his room.

And that's when he heard the long tone. Daniel's head snapped to his body and nurses and doctors swarmed into his room, ushering his father out at the same time. They tried getting his heart going again with the defibrillator and his body jerked up but he was still on a flat line. Daniel knew the rule, he had three attempts before he was announced dead. Clear....Clear
"Mom!" He screamed for help. "Mom! Hecate!" Daniel yelled again to the abyss. He didn't want to leave. He didn't want to die. "I didn't mean it! I don't want to die! Please..." He begged in a whisper and sunk slowly against the wall. "I'm sorry Andy..." He didn't get to see her before passing and he couldn't be strong and hold on for her.

A light didn't appear for him. It was simply darkness. It was just no more.

"Alex, there are no dramas here. It's fine. Emotions were at a high and we were at war."

Alex watched him while listening intently, her brows furrowing gently. The shape his lips took with every word, his deep voice rumbling smoothly from his throat, the way his Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke. Her eyes briefly scanned down towards his torso in the thought of what to say next. She looks up to his eyes with a slowish blink of her long dark lashes. He was right. Of course, he was. Finally, she speaks."Yeah... you're right. I just wanted to make sure."

As he pulls her into a hug, Alex wraps both her arms around him to return it. She felt safer there, and saner around Duke.
"Is everything okay?" he asks. She didn't reply right away, but she still did. "Yes, I'm okay." she lies, her eyes looking up towards the ceiling of the workshop. With her arms still wrapped around him, she curled her fingers inward slightly as if gripping onto the back of him to stop herself from slipping out of her own body. Blood was beginning to seep through the cracks of the roof, then slowly sliding down the walls.

A flash of white light transported her mind back to the battlefield, which was covered in various weapons, pieces of armor and bodies. So many bodies. Alex stepped carefully as she walked. Those who stayed behind began to help the staff members wrap each Demigod in cloth since it was tradition to have them cremated on top of a pyre. Duke remained behind too. She walked up to him, placing her hand on his shoulder to make sure that he was actually there. Imagining one of the bodies as his, or Daniels, or anyone else that she was more close to, caused tears to fill in her eyes. Honestly, it was still sad that these Demigods sacrificed themselves for everyone else, and Alex felt guilty for feeling relieved that one of them wasn't Duke, Wes, Daniel, or Ajax. She looked up to the sky towards the Gods. They had left the moment they said their goodbyes to their fallen.

Their funerals would take place later on during the setting of the sun. Their untouched souls would pass to the underworld, living out their days in the next world. She snapped out of the flashback, returning to the room with Duke, then stepped back from the hug with a large gasp. "I keep seeing things.. I keep seeing blood everywhere."

The minute the fight was over, Andy was running around like a bat out of hell trying to find Daniel. She combed through every body that plagued the field in front of the main hall. She sifted through the wreckage that was the hall. Nothing. When she went to the med hut, she had to fight her way through nurses to search all of the campers that were laying everywhere on cots.

Multiple would try to grab hold of her, stating the obvious about her having an arrow in her shoulder or a bleeding gash in her abdomen. They'd say how she'd die without medical assistance or whatever else, but all she heard was white noise. The ringing in her ears flooded all other sounds as she search frantically. She got desperate enough that she even searched Daniel's cabin, still finding nothing.

When she started getting lightheaded and her hands were sticky with her own blood, she finally decided to walk towards her own cabin. Maybe if she was lucky, Daniel would be sitting there on her bed like some kind of sick joke. Her heart sank when she walked through the door and there was no sign of him or anyone. She made her way to her bathroom where she sat herself on the toilet lid and proceeded to patch herself up. She couldn't very well search for her brother if she was dying from her own wounds.

It was when she finally decided to attempt to pull the arrow from her shoulder, that it disappeared and was replaced with perfect stitches and bindings. Andy looked up to see her mother standing in the doorway to her bathroom. She stood up and quickly ran to the doorway, looking around Hecate's shoulders hoping to see her brother. "Where is he?"

"I think you need to sit down," Hecate said, reaching her hand out to Andy.

Andy shoved her mother's hand away, pushing her way out into her bedroom. Her hands were trembling as she began to pace. "I don't want to sit down. Where is he? You got him out... What hospital is he in? Will he pull through?"

Hecate grew silent for a long moment. "Andromeda...."

"No. No! You were supposed to protect him. You were supposed to save him!"

"I am not a miracle worker."

"You're a God!"

"Andromeda—"

"Get out!"

Silence fell over her cabin. Andy didn't bat an eye lash when she heard Ajax enter her cabin. Her gaze was fixed on her mother, fighting the tears that were building. Hecate stepped towards her, reaching out her hands to try and embrace her. "Andromeda, please?"

"Get out. Get out! GET OUT!" Andy screamed at the top of her lungs. As she screamed all the glass in her room: mirrors, windows and anything else fragile shattered. Everything was thrown about her room like an explosion as she shouted out furiously. Hecate vanished in a puff of smoke leaving Andy alone in the aftermath that was her room.

Andy fell to her knees, lightheaded from the emotional exertion of her powers. She cried out as she doubled over, burying her face in her hands. Her hands trembled and body shook with each breath and sob. Andy had met and lost her brother in what felt like a blink of an eye. She should have fought at his side, done more... Done anything. But she wasn't fast enough. She hated herself for entrusting Daniel's safety in Hecate. Andy thought that their mother would try to save him, to do something... He is her son... was her son.

***

All of Wes' memories after the giant were a foggy mess of images that didn't add together. He thought he heard Trinity, felt lips on his forehead. Then he could have sworn he was carried by someone with a familiar, while also irritating voice. Then nothing. Just blackness and pain... Lots of pain. It was like a burning itch and such a strong numbness that he couldn't tell that his hand was moving or even at his side.

He groaned and shifted in bed as the sunlight seemed to shine right in his face. "...mmm... five more minutes." Wes tried to raise his right hand to block the light from his eyes but nothing happened. He felt his shoulder move, but no mass blocked the sun. He moved his hand back to try and push off the bed, and sit up. But again nothing.

It was as if reality hit him like a train, knocking the wind out of his chest. Wes shot up in the cot so fast that he got a head rush. His chest heaved as he stared blankly before him, taking in the nurses and the surrounding cots of injured campers. He licked his lips, trying to catch his breath. But one thing he couldn't do was bring himself to look down towards his right.

Wes bit down on his bottom lip and closed his eyes, while slowly moving his left hand over to find his right. His fingers searched and searched until they finally found a bandaged nub a few inches beneath his shoulder. He inhaled sharply, fighting the urge to cry, shout or run out of the med hut and go... Anywhere else.

"Wesley... Wesley... You need to calm down. Breathe. You're going into shock," the nurse said as she placed one hand on his bare back and another on his left shoulder. She tried to help him calm down, but he just shoved her off.

"Let go of me..." Wes pushed her away, and stumbled to his feet. But as quickly as he was up, he fell back to sit on the bed, unable to get his balance.

"Mr. Preston, you need to rest."

"I need air... I can't breathe." He tried to stand up again, this time taking it a bit slower so that he could remain on his feet.

"You're going into shock. If you don't take it easy, you'll injure yourself further." Another nurse appeared, and they both tried to guide him back onto the cot.

Wes weakly, but frantically tried to shove them away. "I need... I need to get out of here." He stumbled forward, knocking over a couple medical trays and nearly falling onto another camper in the cot next to him. "Where's Trin—... Trinity? Alex?.... Where are my friends?"

"Wesley, you need to get back in your cot and rest before we make you."

"Andy?" She looked up slightly from her arms to see Ajax walking across her room towards her. She didn't fight or pull away when he took her arms and lifted her up to her feet. She melted in his grasp, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her face into his shoulder. "What's happened?"

Andy's hands trembled as she held onto Ajax like he was her lifeline. She felt stupid. Of course, out of anyone at the camp who'd understand the loss it'd be Ajax and David. But she couldn't help but feel a bit dumb for being so heart broken. She didn't have the time with Daniel like others have with their siblings, but it still devastated her.

"Tell me what's wrong..."

Her arms tightened around Ajax, sniffling back her tears. "Daniel... He..." Andy couldn't bring herself to say the words. She inhaled a sharp and painful breath. "It's my fault..." That was when she cracked, her sobs shaking her entire body. "I should have listened to you, taken him to safety. But Hecate took him... And did nothing. She let him die..."

She stood there in his arms for a long while. Andy let it all out and then some. She couldn't help but feel guilty, no matter what anyone said. She stopped her brother's bleeding and she should have blacked out from trying to heal him instead of sending him off with her mother. Andy knew better. Hecate has never done a single thing for her, why would it change then.

Andy took a deep breath, slowly pulling her head away to look up at Ajax. "Is... everyone else ok?... David? Alex?" She had been so caught up in her brother, she forgot she hadn't seen David or anyone else. Or maybe she did, but it didn't register in her mind.

"Wesley!"

Wes froze midst his thrashing between the nurses. His eyes were wide like a deer in headlights as he saw Trinity snake her way through the nurses towards him. All the tension in him seized when her arms wrapped him in a hug. “Ssh. We're fine. Alex and I are...fine.”

He took in a sharp breath as the tears started to build, a lump growing in his throat. They were fine. For a moment, he even had a sense of relief knowing that it looked like he had taken the worst of it. And, he was ok with that. He'd rather lose all his limbs so that his friends could escape unscathed.

“I really wanted to be there for you,” Trin's voice cracked.

Her face was buried in his chest, his hand moved up to cup the back of her head through her blonde locks. He let his head down cast, placing a kiss on the top of her head. Wes slowly pulled her head away from her chest. His thumb wiped a tear from her eyes. "You were..." he spoke, barely above a whisper. "I heard you... When I was laying there. I couldn't move, or open my eyes... But, I heard you."

Wes' gaze finally shifted to the nurses that hovered around them. Trinity slowly pulled away and moved to sit on his cot. “Come on.” Then she smiled. He couldn't help but smile himself, even after everything. “Nurses might know what they're talking about for once.”

He slowly moved and lowered himself onto the cot beside Trinity. It was then that Wes truly realized how heavily his heart was pounding, and that he was getting lightheaded. The shock blocked it out, but the nurses were probably right. And if Trinity hadn't shown up, he would have blacked out in any moment. He reached out his hand and took hers. Wes didn't want to let go of her, scared that everything would prove to be a dream or a trick of the afterlife if he let go. He couldn't help at happy he was, despite everything, to see that she was ok. Still on the mend, but she'd live.

Before she turned to look at him or say anything else, Wes slowly leaned towards her. He placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Thank you," he said softly before pulling away. Wes just sat there, with her hand still in his, taking in the horror that was the med hut. After a moment, he couldn't look any longer and let his gaze fall to where his right arm used to be.

He was happy that she didn't fight against him, instead, accepting his hold on her. Listening closely. "Daniel... He..." Ajax had a feeling that her brother didn't make it. He knew exactly how anyone felt who had a sibling. It's like losing half of yourself. "It's my fault..." Ajax sighed at that, and closed his eyes for a second, hating those words coming from her mouth, but he could understand why she did feel it was since Ajax blamed himself for so much too. He lightly places his hand on the back of her head, snuggling his face into her hair while still keeping her wrapped in his arms protectively. She began to sob, her entire body shaking.

"Shhh.." he hushed quietly, rubbing her ribs with his free hand.

"I should have listened to you, take him to safety. But Hecate took him... And did nothing. She let him die..." Ajax clenched his jaw and glared off towards the window where he could see the sky. His nostrils flared slightly. Were their lives that easily dispensable to the Gods? Ajax resented them more and more each day. Andy took a deep breath and slowly pulls her head away to look up at him. Ajax cups her beautiful face between his hands, his two fingers parted as he fits the lobes of her ears between them with the palm of his hand slightly over her ears as he looks between her eyes. "Is... everyone else ok?... David? Alex?"

"Alex is fine.. she's a little shaken like everyone else, so she left to firstly check on Duke, I think.. then she'll make her way around to the others. I'm not sure about David. I haven't seen anyone but you and Al. So far. But listen to me..." he lowers his face to hers, his eyes still intently on her. "None of it's your fault, okay? you trusted your mom. It's her fault, Andy.. not yours. I promise you, everything is going to be okay. Not right away, it will take some time, but I will be with you every step of the way. I know you're going to feel really lost for a while, but I'm right here with you." He places a kiss steadily to her forehead with yet another sigh. He didn't like seeing her in so much pain. "Always have been. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, I'm okay," she told him, her grip tightening around him.

He held her there for as long as she needed. War was a big deal and they had lost a lot of numbers and it was important to find comfort in each other during the recovery and grieving process.
Then she gasped and tore away and for a moment, Duke thought he held her too tightly or touched a wound or bruise. "I keep seeing things.. I keep seeing blood everywhere." She explained.

Despite the mental toll taken on Alex, Duke was relieved it wasn't him causing her discomfort or pain. "That's okay," he told her, "because you've got me and I'm here for you. Me and so many others. And we're going to get through it together." Even Duke surprised himself in how sure and steady he sounded but he also felt confident in his statement.

Slowly a smile stretched on his lips, one of genuine warmth. It wouldn't be too long until she would be back to her wild child self, and those blue eyes would again bounce with liveliness and vibrancy. "It's not the end of the world because we stopped that." And that was something worth taking pride in.
Duke wrapped an arm around her and led her outside. His workshop could be a daunting place much more a place to see blood tainted on. "I've got to do some prepping for the...funerals. But I'll see you soon, okay?" Duke kissed her head and hurried away to catch up on the time lost.
His peers deserved a good farewell. The greatest.

Duke had a pace on him but nothing like what David had, cutting across camp with his bags. So Duke made another quick detour.

HEX: #041e75 || Outfit

The great brawn stood in his way and David stopped, not in the mood to bump past and have another wrestle for dominance.
"What are you doing? Don't you want to at least wait for the funerals?"
David expected as much coming from Duke. He looked him dead in the eye and didn't care what he may have appeared as the next words left his mouth, "I've had my share."
David side stepped him but Duke moved with him, blocking his path again. "Look, I get you've had a tough run and you can be a little cold. But this is beyond you. You still know boundaries and respect and tonight we pay them to the dead." David knew. David knew all of it. "People that fought alongside you," Duke added after his silence, his brows pulled together in concern like checking the humanity was still there.

David sighed through his nose. "There were three people holding me together. Jenn, Daniel and Andy. One is definitely deceased and didn't even get a funeral. Another is MIA, I have no idea about but likely deceased, god knows where! And the last one, I can't have! They're the only people I fought for and stayed here for and they're gone. So, no, I'm not going to stick around."
"David, Andy's alive. And what about...Theo and Trinity?"
A scoff escaped him. Knowing what lay ahead in his future, it was like he didn't need a filter or to bite down on anything anymore. "Without Daniel, Andy won't want a bar of the Underworld. Any day now Ajax is gonna pop the question and I'm not tangling with the future Queen of Olympus. She's gonna choose him over me any day. Theo, can kiss my ass if he weren't already kissing Ajax's and Alex's." That's the thing that David despised in so many students. They just bowed and bent for Zeus and his children like they had no mind and will of their own. They were blind and pathetic. But Trinity...She wasn't one of their groupies. He pressed his tongue to his inner cheek. "Trinity's a good asset and one day we'll meet again." If the warrior princess kept killing she'd be like a harbinger of death. He had no doubt they'd conduct business together. "Now I'm going home."

The point was there was nothing worth staying for and goodbyes...why bother when you were only second rate and some bad omen. David marched onward throwing his shoulder into Duke. By that time thankfully Duke was done trying to stop him.

✦ #D63B71 & Teal for thoughts. ✦

"That's okay," he told her. Alex looked up to him and Ajax for this very same reason, they were always relaxed and headstrong about so many situations. Someone had to be. They gave strength to others. "because you've got me and I'm here for you. Me and so many others. And we're going to get through it together." Slowly that smile she loved so much stretched on his lips, full of genuine warmth. She couldn't help but mirror his smile while blinking softly.
"It's not the end of the world because we stopped that."

"You're not going to cry, are you?" after that statement, her smile grew larger before parting her lips and grinning with a chuckle. Of course, she was messing around to lighten the mood a little, but she truly appreciated Duke's words and dedication in protecting her and being there for her all the time.

Duke wrapped an arm around her and led her outside to where the air felt fresh, and the sun felt warm and bright. It would be setting soon. "I've got to do some prepping for the...funerals. But I'll see you soon, okay?" Alex nodded. She didn't want him to leave so soon, but it was only fair to get their deceased buried traditionally. Their souls would never rest. Duke kissed her head, causing her eyes to close for a second. She loved the way his full lips gently touched the skin there, causing her to feel stable and ready the rest of their day. She watched as he hurried away, and as she headed towards the med hut, she glanced towards the conflict between Duke and David. Of course, he was leaving, why would he care about anyone else other than himself, and those he considered close to him? but still, it was his choice.

Alex left them to it as she didn't need to get involved. Duke was more than capable of handling himself if it came to that with David, but it wasn't likely since Duke always remained calm. He was the defuser, the one who always calms heated situations. Quite ironic really with him being able to handle scorching flames of fire.

At the med hut, Alex pushes the side tanned flap of the entrance to one side and wanders in. There were so many taking up the beds. As she glances around at each one of them, she cringed at the wounds they had to endure until recovery. Some of them had no clue about who they had lost yet, but no doubt they had an inkling. Her eyes soon landed on Wes who lay next to Trinity in cots, their hands joined. She sighed in relief. Seeing they were both okay took some of the heaviness off of her heart. She liked seeing them together. Trinity gave Alex's best friend even more strength. Soon as Alex saw he was missing an arm, she rushed over to him quicker than she had intended.

"Wes!" she called out to him, making her way through the crowd of nurses who were pottering about attending to the others. Her eyes rested on his missing arm as her hand covered her mouth for a second. "I'm so sorry." She looks over at Trinity, then back to Wes. "I'm glad you're both okay, though. Duke's preparing the Funerals for tonight at sunset, and Davids leaving camp." She told them. She took another glance at Trinity, feeling as though she might want to quickly catch David before he leaves. She'd stay with Wes for now, to keep him company if that is what Trinity wanted. "Have either of you seen, Daniel or Theo? I know my brother will be with Andy. He planned to visit her."

Bless his sweet soul for thinking that there for him, but she wanted to do more like prevent the giant ripping his arm off in the first place or at least be able to retrieve it but she lost sight of it. Still, she was glad he heard her when she tried to help.

Slowly and carefully Wes joined her, and her hands were ready to snap out and support his weight if he didn't have it but of course he did. He was a fighter all his own. He took her hand and Trinity smiled a small modest kind, giving his hand a gentle squeeze in response. She was quite happy to sit in silence and just be a comfort to him until he got more drugs pumped into his system and passed out or order her away whenever he had enough.

She stilled as she felt his lips touch her cheek and she couldn't help but feel a little shocked. "Thank you," he said. Slowly she turned to face him and smiled again. But then she saw his gaze had dropped to his right stump. With some hesitance, she cleared her throat as well as her head. “You should see the other guy.” It may have been too soon to crack jokes but personally she was beyond pleased to be the one that took the son of a bitch down.

Trinity gently tilted his chin up looking into his seriously under-valued green eyes and it was amazing to see them open and alert again after so long. Trinity felt something then, like nervous but excited, butterflies and warmth. She was inching closer to him and her nose just touched his.
"Wes!" Trinity jumped away almost falling out of the cot but sprang back into an upright position sitting right on the edge and clutching the sheets. “So nothing's wrong with your sensors or depth of field vision,” Trinity muttered and shot Wes a nervous look then away in some distance.
"I'm so sorry." Trinity's gaze shifted to a concerned Alex, eyes on the nonexistent arm, but her heart was beating too fast to share a comment or two. "I'm glad you're both okay, though. Duke's preparing the Funerals for tonight at sunset, and Davids leaving camp." The last part was more directed to her and she frowned. Truly she wasn't sure how to feel about it. Somewhere between betrayed, distaste, hurt and anger. "Have either of you seen, Daniel or Theo? I know my brother will be with Andy. He planned to visit her."
“Theo's someone else I lost sight of in battle,” she mumbled grumpily. Trinity shuddered remembering the yelps she couldn't help. “I don't know where either of them are but I'll be sure to let you know if Daniel doesn't pull me into an illusion first.” Daniel's trickster reputation always preceded him and he was the little mischief of camp that kept duller days exciting.

If Ajax was with Andy though, that meant David was gaining legs away from camp. Trinity got to her feet. “Um...” she looked to Wes. Alex and him were always quite the pair and she just felt weird around the two, but he'd be in good hands. “I'm gonna go for a bit. But I'll be back.” Trinity lingered there awkwardly not sure whether she should hug him, kiss his cheek or even sneak a quick peck as a temporary goodbye. She quickly hugged him and kissed his cheek then began the hunt.

Trinity was most disappointed it wasn't a lie on Alex's half, David up some cliff top just outside of camp. The girl had no reason to lie, but still she hoped. Trinity ran forward, which turned to more of a hobble and grit through the reoccurring stabbing pain. “David.” She caught up and standing before him with all his cases, dressed in some fancy suit, all she could feel was anger. She didn't know what came over her but she snatched one away. Her hands balled into fists and she threw a right hook then shoved him in the chest. “So you're just gonna leave.” Trinity kicked his ankle and pushed making him fall to the ground and stood over him. “You're not going to say goodbye or thank you. Am I a fucking idiot for thinking I was your friend and you were one of the few that understood me?”
In truth she was terrified of being the most destructive on camp, but David gave her weird confidence and assurance to be her. He had her back in his own way too and losing that security made her feel unstable. After all he offered without even knowing it, he couldn't be the one to treat her like dirt.

"Alex is fine.. she's a little shaken like everyone else, so she left to firstly check on Duke, I think.. then she'll make her way around to the others. I'm not sure about David. I haven't seen anyone but you and Al. So far. But listen to me..."

Andy slowly raised her gaze up to meet Ajax's as he lowered his own. "None of it's your fault, okay? you trusted your mom. It's her fault, Andy.. not yours. I promise you, everything is going to be okay. Not right away, it will take some time, but I will be with you every step of the way. I know you're going to feel really lost for a while, but I'm right here with you."

She nodded her head, raising a hand to try and wipe back her tears. Ajax leaned forward, placing a tender kiss upon her forehead. "Always have been. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Thank you," Andy whispered as she wrapped her arms back around him. She kept herself in his arms for a long moment before pulling away to look back up at him. "I'm just glad I have you... And David." She knew Ajax and David didn't like each other, but thankfully neither one of them made her choose. But saying his name made her realize she needed to make sure he was ok. She couldn't lose two people in her life in one day.

"...I need to find him. I need to know he's ok." Andy gave him a thankful kiss and a another hug before she headed out of her cabin. It seemed no matter what, she couldn't quite stop the tears. Her face was a red blotchy mess, but she didn't care... Not right now.

She planned on heading for the med hut, maybe he'd be in there... Even though Andy knew David would be too stubborn to remain there. But her gaze drifted when she saw Trinity off in the distance tailing after David. Her hand moved to cup her bound right shoulder as she slowly approached them. Andy didn't want to intrude, but she just had to be sure he was ok.

“So you're just gonna leave.” Trinity knocked David to the ground quite effectively. Andy picked up her pace, and hurried towards them. Not that she was going to Trin not to hit David, he probably deserved it if she was that angry. “You're not going to say goodbye or thank you. Am I a fucking idiot for thinking I was your friend and you were one of the few that understood me?”

Andy hurried to Trinity's side, gently reaching out her left hand to take the blonde's forearm. Not to stop her from hurting David necessarily but to stop her from doing something she'd regret. Instead of saying anything, her gaze just fell to David as she stood there in a long silence. She gave Trin a soft squeeze to the arm as a silent 'I'm happy you're ok' before releasing her arm. "You're leaving... after everything?"

***

“You should see the other guy.”

Wes chuckled, glad that the lighthearted Trinity was still in there. "You'll have even more names to call me now... Tripod, leftie... His voice slowly trailed off when her hand gently tilted his head up so that he was looking towards her. His gaze never drifted from hers as she inched slowly closer to him.

Just as their noses brushed and began to close his eyes was when he heard his name called out. "Wes!" He sighed softly and even gave a little chuckle at Trinity's startled jump.

“So nothing's wrong with your sensors or depth of field vision,” Trinity mumbled. Wes couldn't help but notice the nervous glance from her. As silent reassurance, he reached out taking her hand and slowly slipped his fingers between hers.

"I'm so sorry."

Wes' gaze followed Alex's towards his arm. He shrugged his shoulders slightly with a sigh. "I have another arm. I'll just have to have muscles over here," he lightly bumped Trinity with his shoulder, "teach me how to use my left arm."

"I'm glad you're both okay, though. Duke's preparing the Funerals for tonight at sunset, and Davids leaving camp." Wes looked to Trinity as Alex did. He knew her and David had started some kind of friendship. He gave her hand a soft squeeze knowing she'd want to go after him. "Have either of you seen, Daniel or Theo? I know my brother will be with Andy. He planned to visit her."

“Theo's someone else I lost sight of in battle. I don't know where either of them are but I'll be sure to let you know if Daniel doesn't pull me into an illusion first.” Wes contemplated if he should say something or not. He didn't know the fate of Daniel but he saw what happened to him, and Andy trying to mend him. After that... He had no idea. Trinity moved to her feet causing his hand to slip from hers. “Um... I'm gonna go for a bit. But I'll be back.”

"I'm not going anywhere... Pretty sure the nurse over there would tackle me to the ground if I tried to leave." Wes motioned his thumb over his shoulder towards one of the grumpy nurses that tried to calm him earlier. He hugged her back and smiled as she kissed him on the cheek before heading out.

After Trinity was gone, Wes finally looked over Alex with a slight smile. "You look all in one piece. I take it your brother is too?" Just small talk. He cleared his throat before getting down to it. "I think Andy was in here earlier... I heard her looking for Daniel and the nurses trying to convince her to stay. Daniel... He was stabbed pretty bad during the battle yesterday. I saw Andy run to him and start mending him the best she could. I don't know what happened after. I distracted the giant that was going after them and he took my arm." He wiggled his nub slightly. "Andy's your best bet at finding out what happened to him."

Alex felt terrible for coming into the med hut when she did. Wes and Trinity were having a moment, and she ruined it. Once Trinity was gone, Alex carefully placed herself down onto the edge of Wes's bed. She smiled slightly back. "You look all in one piece. I take it your brother is too?"

Alex nodded, "Only because I had others helping me, and yeah.. Ajax is fine." If Ajax and Zeus hadn't of been there? maybe things would have turned out differently for her. Wes cleared his throat. "I think Andy was in here earlier... I heard her looking for Daniel and the nurses trying to convince her to stay. Daniel... He was stabbed pretty bad during the battle yesterday. I saw Andy run to him and start mending him the best she could. I don't know what happened after. I distracted the giant that was going after them and he took my arm." She looked at his missing arm as he wiggled his nub slightly, causing her to chuckle. Least he was finding amusement with his injury. "Andy's your best bet at finding out what happened to him."

"Alright.. thank you." She tapped her hand on his knee and stood up. "I'm sorry I ruined it for you and Trinity, I just needed to see if my best friend was still alive. I should have protected you. I'm sorry, Wes. Get better soon. Oh and..." she paused in the doorway of the hut, "Just so you know I'll be here while everyone leaves for the holidays. You know.. no parents, no home.. that sort of thing. See you at the funeral?

She smiled once more before leaving the hut and headed towards where she last saw Duke with David.

David was on the ground, and Andy was having a go at him by the looks of things, so Alex decided to not ask about Daniel since they were busy. She wanders past them silently, pulling her long dark hair around one shoulder while down towards where the funeral was going to be held. The beach. She could lend a helping hand in getting the bodies prepared, and to show her respects. They were the heroes just as much as everyone else.

When she got there, her brother was already there, loading the white cloth wrapped bodies onto the pyres that were set up all along the beach, their feet facing the water as to direct their souls outward towards the skies. "Let me help" she said with a slight strain, lifting one of the bodies onto a pyre with one of the other surviving Demigods.

Alex went to help with the next, but froze on the spot when she heard her Fathers voice calling out to her. She stood there, silently, listening to the news she had been dreading. Tears began to fall down her face. "I'm sorry, butterfly." and with that, Zeus remained silent as Alex remained where she was. She slowly began to clench her fists.

Ajax's outfit

Speech: #085804 Thought: #3a6493

Ajax had just laid down the last body onto the pyre. He held the palm of his hand over their clothed forehead, his thumb stroking the fabric there before he began to climb down the ladder. Once his boots touched the ground, he felt a hand on his shoulder, so he turned around to face them. He smiles. He knew she'd be still alive, especially since a war was what her father was created for. He lived and breathed for it, and that all flowed through Trinity's veins, giving her the drive to succeed. "Hey.. good to see you alive still." he said gently, his voice still its usual deep tone. He turned to the pyre for a second, looking up and down the beach at how many had been set up in total. He'd be staying for the funeral with the rest of them who were staying at camp for the holidays.

“I think they'd be proud for what they fought and died for. You had a family and love to protect and you did that.”

Her words were perfect, but he couldn't help but feeling the disagreement that stirred in the background of his brain. He turns to her so his entire body is facing her and just nods, but quickly finds himself letting out a sigh. Everyone always told him how good he is, and how amazing he is for everything he tries his best to do, but deep down he felt like they were only made to say that since he could one day be the God who rules everything, just like his father. "But it's always going to be on my mind, about if I could have done better" he tells her. "I could have stopped it weeks ago, but I didn't have the guts to do what the Moirai told me to do..." he confesses. "Trinity... I don't think I'm cut out to follow in my dad's footsteps."

Alex's outfit when she's back

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: teal

The world around her felt like it was numb.. even her body felt numb to this life they had been thrown into. She glances over her shoulder. Trinity was standing next to her brother. Alex turns her body slightly, watching how even in this moment Ajax still finds a moment to smile, even while having a habit to burden himself with everything. Without a word, Alex walks away and heads back toward the cabins, but not in the direction of her own.

Taking the woodland trail gave her the alone time she needed, to try and come to terms with Daniel's death. With the trees shading the path, the sun still managed to squeeze through the gaps of the leaves. That's how she felt, like everything living inside of her was still trying to squeeze its way through the darkness. First, she lost a mother who had helped Alex grow into the woman she is today, and second... she lost the guy that was her friend at first, then a platonic love that slowly began to grow into something more. Her feelings for him would always be rooted deeply.

Once reaching the cabin, she didn't care if anyone was inside since she only wanted to be in one room at this particular moment, so she heads straight upstairs to his room. Each step she took towards the door, her heart was racing. Maybe this was a dream, all of it, or some kind of sick joke Daniel decided to play. He'd be sat on his bed with a smile on his face, just to see who would visit him there first.

She hung outside the door for a second, took a breath as her right hand took hold of the handle, then wandered inside. The door creaked slightly as she opened it, then closed it behind her. Hanging up on the wall nearest to the door was his jacket. She reached out to it with her right hand, then began curling her fingers around the fabric steadily. She swallowed gently while taking it off the hook to hold it in both of her hands, then brought the collar of it up to her nose, and closed her eyes. While inhaling deeply, his scent was right there lingering within the fabric as their memories together came flooding back to her.

As the tears fill her eyes, she squeezed his jacket tighter in her hands, pressing it into her face to hold back the scream she wanted to let out. Daniel was gone, she'd never see him again, or even feel his arms around her while he comforts her through the hardships of life in general. The biggest regret was brushing him off at the hall and never giving him a moment to speak to her or to even say goodbye. If only she had given him those last few seconds of her time.

Their relationship was simply platonic, but the way she felt for him had been such a strong crush. She thought she was in love with him at first. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice muffled against the jacket. As she squeezed her eyes shut, her grip on the jacket became tight again as she squeezed out a quiet wail of air. Anger and pain boiled up inside of her like a volcano that was ready to erupt.

She threw the jacket to the side, then swung her arms out and across Daniel's desk, knocking off his stuff that was resting on top of it. Everything crashed to the ground as she stumbled back a little with one of her hands reaching up to the back of her head, squeezing her lips together as if holding back from cursing. Everything in this room had been touched by him... including herself. That one day he kissed her, that day he sang outside of her cabin, the very first day she lay eyes on him, and even when he teased her everything about the world became more vibrant, warm. Now everything - for now - felt cold, dead.

With her back to the wall that's nearest to his bed, she slid down it until resting her bottom on the ground. With her knees bent upwards, she leans over them with her face hidden against them and her arms around them. Sobbing.

Ajax's outfit

Speech: #085804 Thought: #3a6493

Ajax let out a gentle sigh since everything she said was true. He did his best, and that is all anyone could do. If they hadn't stood together like they did, then yeah, there would have been a lot more bodies laying on the pyres. Their bravery had cost them their lives, but they died as heroes who will always be remembered. Ajax nods.

As Trinity tapped his chest, he looked down to her hand, reached up to it with his own, and wraps his fingers around it gently, holding her hand there for a moment before placing his eyes back on hers with a small smile. The God's definitely wouldn't have settled for just anyone. Their ruler had to have all the qualities a King of Mount Olympus should have. Ajax may not be walking in the same footsteps as his father, but he is walking within his own footsteps. He will be a great King one day, and hopefully with everyone with him, and not before him. He let her hand go, feeling grateful and lucky to receive her words for comfort.

Trinity gave him a small smile while tilting her head slightly. "Thank you," he whispers, then pulls her into a hug before his eyes look across the beach at Theo. "I think someone needs to talk to you," he strokes his hand down the back of her hair, then nods once in Theo's direction. It was good to see him alive with the rest of them. "Good job out there," he tells Theo proudly as he pulls out of the hug and starts making his way in Andy's direction.

While heading down to the beach, he looked towards camp. His sister had wandered off towards the cabins, so maybe she was with Wes in the med hut, or just clearing her own head. As far as he knew, No one else knew about Daniel's death part from him and Andy, whose sat there by herself.

Seeing her sitting there alone and in her own little world, he didn't know if being there was the right choice anymore. Maybe she'd want to be by herself. Still, it didn't hurt to check, to show that he cares about her since he didn't ever like seeing her in so much agony. "Andy.." he said gently, stopping just a few feet away from her. "You want some company? - also, the funerals will be tonight. Will you be there? we can... say a few words for Daniel. I'm sure where ever he is he's with those he loves and also watching over you. I know him being here would be better, but..." he walks closer to her. "You're not alone. I'm here."

Alex had marched off somewhere. Ajax and Trinity were in some deep and meaningful discussion so Duke made his way towards the loner sitting by the water, the one that had lost an arm. Wes. And though they didn't get to

communicate much, it was never really too late to start. Besides in these times everyone needed a bit of support in one way or the other and being alone for too long was a sure way to drown in thoughts.
"Hey, are you here during the break?" He asked standing beside him. Though it was abrupt and didn't portray the sympathy or anything he felt deep down, he did have a point to his bluntness. Duke always did as much as people struggled to believe it. "If you're staying we can try do something about that arm." Duke gestured to the wrapped stump. "I'm always looking for some challenge and of course..." Duke paid a glance over his shoulder in the distance where few women congregated to sigh and sob at Wes's misfortune, "you've still got a good run in you and should have use of all your limbs. I have kind of wondered if it effects your abilities."

Wes was a pitstop. "Anyway, the offer's there if you're interested just know it's not going to happen overnight." He smacked him on the back in encouragement and paced off to retrieve Alex that always found trouble when she was alone. A rather sad reality.

Alex's outfit when she's back

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: teal

Alex stood up, using the wall to steady her slightly unsteady legs that had turned numb. It didn't seem like she had been there for long, but clearly, her mind and time were in two different places at once. While wiping the rest of the tears away from her slightly reddened eyes, she wandered towards the door but stopped. Instead, she headed over to his desk since she felt bad for trashing a bit of Daniel's room, so, like a decent human being, she began to clean up.

After everything was back to 'normal' she headed out of his cabin once taking one last look back. It felt strange in there now since it was empty, but hopefully, a part of him would still be close by somehow. Watching. She began to walk home with her arms folding. It's her way of guarding herself against the rest of the world.

The sun would be set in a couple of hours, and the funeral would be taking place on the beach. She'd need to pick out an outfit.

The fresh air felt cool against her skin, so for now, she decided to sit on the bottom step in front of her cabin, her arms leaning on her thighs as she stared at the floor in thought. Using the tip of her boot where her toes were, she brushed aside the dirt as she remained silent, then sighs, but soon frowns and looks up once hearing someone heading in her direction. She got up from where she was sat, readying herself for Vincent to come around the corner.

Ever since his sister's death, he's been looking for all the right opportunities to kill her. His first attack was a fluke, but this time with her being alone... he'd be successful. There was absolutely no one to defend/save her. Her heart beneath her chest quickened, her breathing also moving at the same pace. She didn't have any type of strength to fight him back with - not mentally, not physically. Nothing. If he wanted to kill her then so be it, but she wouldn't die without trying. She couldn't just lay there without putting up some of a fight. Everything was fine when the unknown person rounded the corner near the trees. She let out a heavy sigh of relief once realizing it was only Duke. She hung on the steps with one foot on them, one foot off, and her right hand holding onto the railing beside her. "Everything okay?" She asks gently, slowly letting go of the railing and stepping her foot down to meet the other. It was good to see him again. "Did Ajax ask you to come look for me?"

Ajax's outfit

Speech: #085804 Thought: #3a6493

"...I know you are," she said, reaching up to take his hand. He took it and felt her give a gentle tug, which made him sit beside her. He got comfy there on the sand. "Thank you." She told him, causing him to nod once with a smile. The smallest of words back meant a lot to him since he knew she had been listening, mentally noting it all down. She knew all along he was there, but he just wanted to remind her. Just in case.

They both sat there for a long moment, their eyes on the ocean, but soon as she spoke, Ajax turned his head to her, his dark curls blowing in the wind near his eyes. "Are you sure I should go... to the funeral I mean?"

Ajax frowned, "Of course... why would you not want to?"

she looked down at her free hand that traced circles in the sand. "I feel like my grieving is offensive to everyone else.... They've known the people they've lost for years. And I'm a mess from losing a brother I barely got a chance to know... I don't want to insult their memories."

Ajax sighed gently. "Andy, everyone has a right to mourn. I don't think they will be insulted. We've all lost someone. They should understand... if they don't? then screw'em." He lets go of her hand and gently turns her face to him. "If you honestly don't want to go, then I won't force you."

"Everything okay?" She asked gently and Duke couldn't help but smile slightly just to see her okay and asking if everything was okay when she was his main concern. "Did Ajax ask you to come look for me?"

He smiled again and looked to the ground to contain the amusement he found in that genuine question. "No , believe it or not, I came looking for you because I wanted to. Put my mind at ease and all that." Duke stepped aside and opened an arm out to her. One thing was evident in her mannerisms and that was she had been through a tough time and lived on the edge, especially today. After the war she couldn't be blamed of course. And with David out of sight and his active grudge on the Valis's.
"Come on, I'll walk you to the beach." Duke knew she'd be okay but for now, there was nothing wrong with offering support and company. Besides it wasn't an obligation, he wanted to be there for her. "First war's always the worse, Al. So after the funerals, tomorrow, it's chin up. Tomorrow is a new day, okay?"

Duke didn't have the smooth and silver tongue of some of his campmates but he did have the logic and the reality was the world didn't stop turning, days and time, didn't stop for anybody. Of course they had to allow time to mourn and the fallen would not be forgotten, but the survivors living with their heads down and hands in their pockets was no way to live at all.
It was also true in Duke's book that the first experience of a massacre or war was the worse. Not to say experiencing it again came with complete detachment and desensitization but when would they experience another like this? It couldn't get worse. At least not for a while.

Alex's outfit when she's back

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: teal

He smiled again, looking to the ground. "No , believe it or not, I came looking for you because I wanted to. Put my mind at ease and all that."

That smile of his was probably one of his most attractive and prominent features. She respected Duke for many reasons, and one of those reasons was for keeping her brother out of trouble. Theoretically speaking, with Ajax's hot headed temper which crops up at times, he sets fire to everything around him, but he never let a single flame touch her.

His answer actually shocks her. She wasn't expecting him to be here by his own accord, but then again... why not? Ajax didn't control him, he cared about Alex as much as a brother does, but still... it stupidly didn't occur to her until now.

Duke steps aside and opens an arm out to her.

"Come on, I'll walk you to the beach." she walks over to him, listening to what else he was telling her. "First war's always the worse, Al. So after the funerals, tomorrow, it's chin up. Tomorrow is a new day, okay?" Alex nods to that in agreement, and even achieves a smile. Was it obvious that she had been crying?

While walking beside him towards the beach, there was silence for a moment until Alex parted her lips to speak. "I went to his cabin... to Daniel's." She placed her hand onto Duke's arm, stopping them from walking for a moment. "He's dead, Duke. He's gone.
Before the war, I didn't talk to him. I basically brushed him to one side like he meant nothing to me, but he did. He meant a lot to me and now... now it's too late to say what I needed to."

Duke lightly embraced her in a one armed hug as they walked before releasing her so she didn’t feel contained or smothered and was happy to at least obtain a smile from her.

As he rested into the silent leisurely paced walk, Alex spoke. “I went to his cabin…to Daniel’s.” She placed her hand on Duke’s arm and he stopped in his tracks looking at her seriously. Somehow he expected the next words.

“He's dead, Duke. He's gone. Before the war, I didn't talk to him. I basically brushed him to one side like he meant nothing to me, but he did. He meant a lot to me and now... now it's too late to say what I needed to." Duke sighed out gently. His lips pressed in a line and his brows pulled lightly together. Sometimes there just wasn't enough time or things happened at the wrong time and he knew Alex cared for him. That whatever they were, Daniel wasn't just a peer and certainly nothing.
"I’m sorry to hear that." Duke didn't know what else he could say to her. To be frank he was at a loss for words because even he didn't know what they were. "Whatever you needed to say to him though, don't hold it back. Maybe you should visualize him and Susanna and get it all off your chest," he suggested softly and genuinely.
Duke was a very practical man and usually didn't indulge the spiritual sides to anything but it sounded like something Alex needed and could benefit from. Duke imagined no greater pain than words left unsaid to loved ones who passed. "You could ask Andy to summon apparitions of them if it helps?" He added. "I just think you have to say what you have to either way. I mean..." Duke did see Daniel approach Alex before it all went to hell and though he didn't catch the dialogue between them, Daniel did look slightly disheartened.

After speaking to his sister who he had quickly come to adore, he approached Alex. The little lightening queen. He couldn't very well not speak to her after a few kisses shared and a romantic zombie run and now a war. Though, mutually, they viewed each other a little less romantically these days, she still triggered a tiny spark in him - the one that got away - and he still counted her a friend and who knew who'd come up on the other side. "Sorry we didn't work out. We could have made quite the power couple," he said. He smirked and winked teasingly. She didn't want a bar of it however, audibly sighing out and walking past and even nudging her shoulder into his.
Daniel stood there for a moment pressing his tongue to his cheek. He wasn't sure he deserved to be literally cold shouldered now. She could spare the time to press her face into Duke's after all. But as he discussed things over with the warrior princess, Alex was able to joke with Wes and spare her brother a hug and they had a whole loving emotional speech.

The Valis's looked out for each other. That's all that existed in the heat of the moment, no other demigod. Andy even had the Valis's back and he prayed that wouldn't cost her because if it came to it, Ajax would choose Alex.
David was the one trying to watch Daniel's and Daniel in turn was trying to juggle his enemies charging for him, and watch David and Andy's back. If anything happened to Daniel he knew David would prioritize Andy and acknowledge the reality of the Valis mentality. Then pretty soon that worse case scenario happened, a surreal pain shooting through his chest. He tried to call his sister and stay focused on her but the pain ruled over his body and mind, and he left camp feeling distant from a girl he once admired.

"it's pretty unfair," Duke finished. "But you're not the only one going through this and it's important to remember that." Alex had support and sympathizers all around her.

Alex's outfit when she's back

Speech: #D63B71 Thought: teal

Listening to Duke made her tense body and shoulders relax. Everything he had to say was perfect in her mind. Duke somehow always knew what to say, and knew how to make her feel better. Daniel did too. She could feel her eyes beginning to fill up again as she remembers how she blew him off so coldly. He didn't deserve any of it, but what could she have said? that she'd congratulate him on meeting someone else, that she would be happy and over the moon about him finding the person he felt strongly for that wouldn't be herself. Alex began to chew her lower lip, trying her best to hold those tears back which threatened to pour out of her. She knew she'd have to move on like everyone else, but at this moment she just wasn't ready. Daniel was gone, but not from her heart, or her memories. Duke soothed that pain, and she wasn't trying to replace Daniel, or using Duke to make her forget because she'd never forget him. Alex just couldn't help/stop herself from being drawn towards the man thats been there since day one.

She definitely wasn't the one who was just going through it all, so she quickly pulls herself together, clears her throat and smoothes her hands down the front of her pants. "You're right, Duke. Thank you." She tells him, touching his arm and smiling the best she could. "I'll be okay since I still have you and Aj." she couldn't bear the thought of losing those two. Losing Daniel was bad enough. "I'll ask Andy when the time is right. I'm sure she's going through hell right now." She leads the way down towards the beach. Once with everyone else there, Alex stood with her hand over her stomach. She felt sick with the amount of stress that was taking its toll on her. After all this is done, hopefully, she'll be able to take a break somewhere for a couple of days to help clear her head. She'd remain at camp, but just distance herself until she could feel like herself again.

Ajax's outfit

Speech: #085804 Thought: #3a6493

Andy gently cups the back of his head with her fingers entangling themselves into his dark hair of curls. "So do you..." Those three words echoing in his head as he smiles a little, looking between her eyes. Ajax didn't always think so, especially since he felt like he had let everyone down yet again. He began to lean in towards her but froze for a second before continuing right until his lips press against hers. It was one simple, soft, and loving kiss.

"Maybe one day. First, I got to make sure you're all safe. That's all that matters to me. Come on, let us get this funeral going so their souls can finally be at peace." Ajax stood up from where he sat, dusts off the sand that clung to the back of his pants, then heads towards the other side of the beach. If Andy wanted to be there, then she'd follow, but if not!? well, that was entirely her choice.

Ajax looks around at the others gathering before his eyes land on Alex who was stood beside Duke. Ajax took the wooden torch from one of the other Demigods, then stood there looking at it for a couple of seconds as the one who handed it to him walks back to his spot. "Can you do the honors?" he asks, turning his gaze to Duke and motioning his head towards the unlit torch. "Would anyone like to say anything before we start?"

"I'm doing better than some," he answered nonetheless, which opposed to the alternatives, he was. "I'm thankful that all I lost was my arm... I'd go through it 1000 times over if that meant not losing those I care about... Not losing you."
She sighed then. Luckily it hadn’t come to that because she’d never want him putting his body on the line for hers but rather than object and lecture and argue, Trinity let it go. The day just wasn’t the day to be ungrateful and argumentative.

"It won't be so bad... Just means once I learn how to kick ass, it'll be even cooler that I can do it with one hand." Trinity chuckled and nodded. “True,” she said. After all the trauma Wes could still find that silver lining or at least still had his in tact sense of humor.

"There are just some things I wish I could have done with two..." he added and turned his face towards her. He brushed back some loose locks behind her ear and she flicked up a small smile as her heart raced before he cupped the back of her head. Trinity's gaze finally met his which was hypnotic and then he pressed his lips to hers. Trinity kissed him back just as softly and when he drew away her eyes fluttered open, watching him intently and smiling too as their noses brushed together. "Like that..That would have been better if I could have held you with both arms..." She frowned lightly watching his smile fade and hand fall.
“It’s okay,” she promised quietly and placed her hand on his jaw. “You managed pretty effectively with one.” Even if she had a million kisses before or boys and men holding her, one arm by Wes was enough. But she sensed it was less about her as much as him wanting to be able to. Trinity carefully began to trace his jawline with her index finger and watched the trail before dropping her own hand.
“You are a bit of the pain in the ass though,” she observed gently with playful little scrunch of her nose. “You were hard to look out for on the field, always picking the opponent that was 100 times bigger than you. You must have been a handful in your high school.”

She spotted Ajax and a mini sort of merge which must have meant the funerals were officially happening. Trinity got to her feet and waited by Wes if he needed a hand or anything.

"Would anyone like to say anything before we start?" Ajax asked as Trinity just approached. Nothing more than what has already been said. Trinity scanned the others expectantly like she did in the hall before the war. Somebody should have summoned a few words of sentiment for the deceased. She would have herself except she didn't have a magical effect with her voice or words and she didn't have a deep connection with any of those who passed so she didn't want to ramble something that wasn't sincere compared to someone who could have.

Andy's gaze rose slightly as her comment seemed to bring a smile to Ajax's lips. He then leaned in towards her, pausing momentarily, then kissed her. She let her eyes flutter closed, exhaling a sigh through her nose as she returned to tender kiss. She tried to give her strongest smile when he pulled away. Her thumb softly stoked his cheek as he spoke.

"Maybe one day. First, I got to make sure you're all safe. That's all that matters to me." Andy sighed. Of course. She just hoped he didn't get himself killed in the process. She didn't need to lose anyone else. "Come on, let us get this funeral going so their souls can finally be at peace."

"I'll be there in a minute," Andy gave him a half smile as he stood up and walked off. She remained there on the beach for another couple minutes or so as she tried to gather herself together. Not that anyone expected her to be fine, but she refused to be a blubbering mess in front of the other campers either. She felt the need to be strong. Andy made a name for herself between helping take down a minotaur her first day and dating basically the head of the camp.

With a sigh, Andy stood up and dusted off her shorts. She slowly trudged her way over to the pyres. Instead of moving beside Ajax, she kept to the back of the crowd, watching from a distance. Her arms crossed as she chewed on her bottom lip. She couldn't help but hate how Daniel wasn't there. No funeral for her to take part in, nothing. Looking around at all of the sad faces of those who lost loved ones like she did, made her think.... While everyone else goes home for the summer, she is going to train. Andy refuses to let someone take a loved one from her again.

***

Wes instantly regretted saying anything after the kiss. Seeing Trinity's smile fade to a frown at his comment made his heart sink. Of course, it had nothing to do with her. He just wished when he got the chance to finally hold her, he could do it with both arms. He couldn't always find the silver lining.

“It’s okay,” Trinity said, putting her hand on his jaw. “You managed pretty effectively with one.”

Wes gave a weak laugh, raising his hand to touch hers that was on his jaw. "Ok, blondie."

“You are a bit of the pain in the ass though. You were hard to look out for on the field, always picking the opponent that was 100 times bigger than you. You must have been a handful in your high school.”

Wes couldn't help but smile at the scrunch in her nose. He leaned his head in towards her once more. "You have no idea," he said with a grin. Then before she could say anything else, he placed one more quick kiss upon her lips. He chuckled as he pulled away. "Just had to make sure I wasn't dreaming."

When Ajax started gathering the campers around the pyres for the funeral, Trinity moved to her feet. Wes pushed off the ground with his hand and moved to stand beside her. His gaze passed over all the different campers. He couldn't imagine how many of them lost someone their cared deeply for. He couldn't imagine that. As the reality of it all sunk in, his hand slid down the take Trinity's.

"Would anyone like to say anything before we start?" Wes didn't know what to say. He was one of the more fortunate campers at the result of the war.

He could see her trying fight back tears and it was entirely understandable and okay. She could show her range of emotions in front of him, he wasn't ever going to judge or think she was weak for it, he was going to be there for her.
"You're right, Duke. Thank you. I'll be okay since I still have you and Aj." He smiled slightly and nodded to her. He didn't need to tell her she'd always have them by her side. "I'll ask Andy when the time is right. I'm sure she's going through hell right now."
Duke bowed his head to her statement. "Of course. It was just a suggestion on my part. We can make tombstones for them here if you like in memory of them and somewhere to honor that memory. Or not. Just whatever you need of me, I'm here."

Alex lead the way back down to the beach and the amount of pyres and Duke trailed behind at a respectable distance. He stood tall with his fellow camp mates until Ajax requested Duke do the honors. He stepped up to Aj and hovered his fingers by the torch until it caught flame then clasped his hands in front of him. "Actually I would like to say a few words." Duke cleared his throat. "I pray their souls haven't departed yet because I want them to know about the heroes they were and how their death was not in vain and that each of them and each of us, are a valuable member of camp. We all stood and fought bravely against an army most of us thought was a myth and it was because of these people and their sacrifice that the world is a safer place and our homes are still standing. No amount of thanks will be able to cover it. They deserve the absolute best in the next life. They will be remembered." Duke nodded to Ajax and stepped away, avoiding eye contact as he stepped back into the crowd.

Alex's Speech: #D63B71 --- Ajax's Speech: #085804

As Duke made his speech, Ajax swallowed and looked away. They didn't just feel like other members, they were like family in a way, and every word that passed Duke's lips, sunk deep into Zeus' son.

Duke nodded to Ajax once he his speech had come to an end, then headed back into the crowd, avoiding eye contact with anyone. Alex's eyes followed Duke, her expression looking proud as her hand reached out to him. "That was perfect," she whispered, a smile appearing on her lips. No one clapped since it would be inappropriate at a funeral, but they respected Duke for being the first to step up. Ajax decided he was next.

"I can't really say much since Duke pretty much did an amazing job at covering everything for us. Thanks, man." he nodded before looking around at the others. "but I do have a couple of things to add." as he held the flaming torch that Duke had lit for him, the warm glow illuminated the right side of his face as the rest remained in shadow. "Don't ever feel guilty for still being alive. They'll be watching over every single one of us. Make them proud, and keep their memories alive." his gaze landed on Andy for a second. He was glad she had decided to show up. He managed a smile towards her before quickly returning to the rest of what he wanted to say, "We must live... for them. This isn't goodbye forever. We'll see them again. One day." Ajax lit the first pyre, causing someone to sob as it was time to finally say goodbye to their loved one. Ajax looked over at them with furrowed brows, pain etched into his features since he could imagine exactly what they were going through. He made his way towards the next pyre.

Once all the pyres were lit, the flames grew, reaching up towards the nights' sky. Alex's hand steadily slipped into Dukes, her eyes on the burning pyres as tears softly trickle down her cheeks.

Even the man in the moon seemed to be looking down towards them with sadness in his eyes.

As their souls departed from their hosts, almost everyone gasped with shock. Alex watched as wisps of silvery light danced around the other souls, and around their loved ones before making their way towards the heavens. Alex's eyes remained full of tears. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever witnessed. They almost looked like fairies dancing and leaving trails behind them.

She narrowed her eyes playfully on Wes after he stole a quick kiss. "Just had to make sure I wasn't dreaming," he said. She laughed lightly and looked away shaking her head to conceal the faint pink that had touched her cheeks.

It was colder near the gathering around the pyres despite the crowd and body heat and she felt Wes's hand take hers and sighed out gently in relief but kept her gaze trained ahead.

Duke stepped to the front and gave his speech, giving credit and respect to those who died in battle. Every word he spoke was true and sunk in for Trinity. It wasn't an exaggeration, they had stopped an invasion and saved countless homes and lives.

Ajax offered forth his own speech, not just for the deceased but the ones left still standing and having to clean up the pieces of the war. "Don't ever feel guilty for still being alive." Those words stuck like glue and echoed in her head. She didn't often feel guilty in battle scenarios but many of her comrades did. Trinity didn't even know a person could feel that way - guilty of not saving someone in time maybe, but their existence... Trinity gave Wes's hand a gentle squeeze.

The pyres were lit and it soon turned to a beautiful show of silver wisps that even Trinity was entranced in. But she wasn't so lost in it's beauty that she forgot they were once bodies of people she knew, no longer in her plane of existence. Trinity turned to watch Wes's expressions carefully and her eyes couldn't help but dip to the stump where another limb should have been. No way was he joining the others soon. She slipped her hand out his and she spoke only after he had absorbed the peaceful display of their souls departing.

“I don’t know if you’ve got your own cabin or you’re required back at the med hut but you can sleep with me whenever you want,” she told him quietly. Her eyes widened. “Not 'sleep sleep' with me. You can...” Trinity sighed out in defeat. “You know what I mean,” she said.

“I could actually use some company these next few nights,” she confessed, her voice turning to a whisper. Something to keep nightmares at bay and stop her nerves and senses from overdrive, something to keep her warm and Wes himself close rather than stress if he was okay.

Andy stood silent towards the back of the crowd, her foot mindlessly tracing circles in the sand as her hands picked at the hem of her shirt. Her attention was drawn back to the funeral when she heard Duke mention he wanted to say a few words. Her gaze fell to the sand as he spoke, each word sinking into her heavier and heavier.

"...They will be remembered." She prayed she'd remember. Andy already knew this would be next to impossible to get over. She's never lost anyone close to her because all she's ever had was her father. Now, she got a brother, someone else she cared for, only to have him ripped away from her. The only thing that could hurt worse is forgetting... Forgetting Daniel. His face, his smile...

Everything was like white noise while Ajax's words echoed in her head as he spoke. "Don't ever feel guilty for still being alive..." Andy was barely able to manage an upwards glance towards him, only catching a glimpse of his smile towards her.

Don't feel guilty. She inhaled sharply, clutching at her abdomen as the tears ran down her cheeks. Andy's knees were barely holding her up, as her breaths shook her body. Gradually, something materialized in the palm of her hand. She raised her hand before her, slowly pulling back her fingers to find a locket in her palm. Part of her hoped it was her own subconscious, but deep down she knew... it was her mother's doing. As the pyres lit, Andy had half a mind to chuck the necklace into the flames and walk away, but instead she managed to open it with her trembling fingers.

Inside was two photographs. One, of Daniel. The second, of the last moment Andy shared with him before the battle. She gasped, bringing her hand to her mouth as tears flooded down her cheeks. She clutched the locket to her chest, as she stared at the sand. She couldn't bring herself to look at the pyres knowing that Daniel wasn't among them and that she didn't have a chance to say goodbye.

Without a word, and her grasp tight on the locket, Andy snaked her way through the crowd of crying campers, beelining for the woods. At first she made her way towards her cabin, but began to drift away the more she walked. That's where she'd be looked for and she didn't want to be found. Not now. She appreciated the care and sympathies but she was tired of the sorry's, the condolences... everything. She wanted David. He wouldn't try to sugar coat it, or tell her it'd get better. He understood more than anyone what she was feeling.

Next thing she knew, she found herself at Jennova's grave on the cliff. With a sigh, she sat down beside it with her locket still tight in hand. Her gaze slowly drifted over to the grave stone. Andy's shaky had rested on it. "I know... I know we didn't know each other well," her voice croaked. "But could you look out for him down there?... Please?" she begged, patting the gravestone.

Wes remained silent and respectful as Duke and Ajax spoke their reassuring words to everyone else. No one seemed to get away unscathed. Everyone was bandaged, or weeping. Even a lot of both. Injured body and soul. He felt guilty for feeling thankful that all he lost was his arm, and that... Well, his best friend and Trinity would all still in one piece. But he still wished he could have done more. His gaze fell to Andy who stood hidden in the crowd on the other side of the pyre. He didn't even realize... Not until that moment that Daniel was no where to be found.

His heart sank, taking in her appearance. Andy looked like a ghost. A shell of the vibrant person she was. Sure, they weren't the closest. But he never saw her without a smile on her face, or a look of kick ass determination. Now, she was just... Lost. Wes' gaze fell to the ground before he shut his eyes, taking in a deep breath. When he felt Trinity's hand squeeze his, he opened his eyes to take in the sight of the pyres going up in flames. But through the smoke, he saw Andy turn and leave when no one else was paying attention. He had half a mind to follow her until he was distracted by Trinity removing her hand from his.

“I don’t know if you’ve got your own cabin or you’re required back at the med hut but you can sleep with me whenever you want." Maybe it was everything going on, but the statement didn't hit him fast enough for him to make a comment before Trinity started to ramble. “Not 'sleep sleep' with me. You can...” She sighed. “You know what I mean." Trinity paused for a moment before whispering, “I could actually use some company these next few nights."

"I think Andy rebuilt my cabin for me... After the, ya know... Hydra." Wes gave one last side glance towards Andy motioning towards her with his thumb, but she was no where to be found. He finally focused on Trinity, figuring if Andy wanted to talk to someone, she would have stuck around. He cleared his throat once he realized what she was mentioning. No longer focusing on Andy and where she was. "But I can stay on your couch... however long you need it."

He gave her a soft smile, reaching out his hand to gently rub her upper arm. "Plus... I think the nurses would actually kill me if I tried to sleep without some sort of supervision. Apparently the meds they have me on or whatever could cause some serious problems if I abuse them... Or something like that." He gave a halfhearted chuckle and shrug.

"That was perfect," Alex whispered to him. He wasn't expecting it but he received praise for his speech and felt somewhat assured by it. While it was the right thing to do, it was still incredibly nerve racking to speak on the dead's behalf and the survivors especially since he hadn't formed an intimate bond with anyone that passed, but some of his camp mates did. Duke smiled slightly to her in silent thanks.

"I can't really say much since Duke pretty much did an amazing job at covering everything for us. Thanks, man." Ajax had said grabbing Duke's attention and Duke met his eyes in acknowledgement. "But I do have a couple of things to add. Don't ever feel guilty for still being alive. They'll be watching over every single one of us. Make them proud, and keep their memories alive. We must live... for them. This isn't goodbye forever. We'll see them again. One day," Ajax said. He lit the first pyre which caused a sob among the crowd.

Death was always a possibility and they had the chance to leave. Things didn't need to be like this. Or maybe he told himself that so he didn't go into teddy bear mode, hugging those who were grieving and needed support. Duke's eyes sought out the steeley child of war to see how she responded before watching each pyre light up the sky and illuminate people's sombre features. He felt something touch his hand as the last pyre was lit and realized it was Alex's hand. At first he thought it was an accident but a brief look at her proved it wasn't. Duke closed his hand around hers and gave her a gentle squeeze as he turned his gaze back to the spectacle ahead.

He stood with Alex for some time even when their souls had long departed until he eventually turned to her. "You should go hug your brother. He's had a long day," he told her softly and he knew for a fact that's where Alex would feel most assured and it would comfort Ajax too.

Alex's Speech: #D63B71 --- Ajax's Speech: #085804

When Duke closed his hand around hers and gave it a squeeze, it felt like he had managed within that split second to pull her out from her spiraling depressing thoughts. She didn't feel like herself anymore, so maybe at the end of this term, she could spend time getting to know herself again and to find herself.

The Alex that everyone had met during her first day at Camp Athens was still there, just buried beneath the layers of rubble that had fallen onto her, crushing the very warmth and life out of her. Some days she felt as though she was suffocating on the pain that crept beneath her chest, but she never allowed it to control her completely. She had already tasted the darkness, and being trapped in it would surely destroy the person her parents had brought her up to be. Alex needed to remain true to herself in order to keep her mother's memory alive, and her grandmother's. She turned to Duke, "This shouldn't happen" she told him. Most of them were still just kids/teens. They should have been able to go on until a good old age instead of, well... this.

With the warm glow from the burning pyres, Alex could feel her body slowly shutting down on her from exhaustion - mentally and physically. "You should go hug your brother. He's had a long day," Duke told her, his voice soft. She nodded. He was right. Her brother had to try his best to comfort his grieving girlfriend, stay strong for sister, but also to remain strong and level headed for the rest of the camp since they all constantly looked up to him for guidance.

With one gently touch to Duke's arm, she began to walk past him, heading in her brother's direction. He was talking to one of the others who had thanked him for giving them a respectful funeral. "Please, don't thank me. I just did what anyone else would have done, okay?" He held his hand on the top of their arm, giving them a smile. "get some rest.." they smiled and headed off with the others, making their way towards their cabins. Ajax sighed as he watched them leave. If only he could do more for them, like.. have the power to bring back those they have lost, but not even a God had the power of resurrection.

Without a word, for now, Alex wrapped her arms around her brother. They held each other in a sibling embrace as Ajax clung onto her for dear life since he was now more scared than ever to lose her. It had almost been her on one of those pyres tonight. He felt like his thoughts were being selfish since he was glad it hadn't happened to her. "Everything is going to be okay..." she said, her voice muffled against his shoulder. He closed his eyes with his hand on her back to hold her in place as the world around him faded into the background.

Hopefully, next year was going to be better...
