She's pretty!

I listened to the other campers snoring. For some reason I had a hard time falling asleep tonight. As I lied there awake, staring at the ceiling, my mind kept running out of random things to think about. When it did, I would, for some reason, start thinking about Kassie. Why? I mean, sure she was nice, pretty, and fun to be around, but was this more than just another crush?

That's when I would shake my head, roll over, and demand my mind to chose another topic. But it kept drifting back. I don't know why it bothered me so much, I mean I was 17, I should have a girlfriend by now. I guess I just never saw myself as that type of guy. Finally, the god of sleep, Hypnos, granted me sleep.

Alex~Apollo

I crawled into bed when our cabin's councilor announced, "lights out." Some one turned off the lights and the faint glow of lava lamps came from different parts of the room. All Apollo kids were afraid of the dark, it was one of our magor weaknesses. But all of us would rather die to a Furie, then tell anyone that we had to sleep with a nightlight.

****************************************************************
>Next morning, Wednesday<

Everyone was talkative and noisy at the breakfast tables this morning. The Ares cabin and Zeus cabin were busy trying to get cabins to join their side for capture the flag that would be held the next evening. They made deals, bets, exchanges, and I even heard a couple of threats come from the Ares campers.

I wonder which side the Apollo cabin will be on.

Luna-Poseidon
wednesday

After hearing about the Capture the flag game at breakfast, I really wanted to join. I talked to Charlie and She seemed alright with either group, Ares of Zeus. I ran to ask Lila David, my kinda friend from Zeus if I could join. As I was running, I ran strait into Lexie, from Ares, and knocked her down.
" Hey, watch it newbie!" She called. As she started to get up I started to apologize, but she inturupted." Who do you think you are, running into me! You better not be on my team in Capture the Flag, cause I'm so gonna kill you in that!" I had gotten up by then and so had she. She started walking away so I did too.

" Hey Luna! You gonna join us in Capture the flag later?" Lila said when I reached her.
" Yeah, I kind of have to now, I made an ares kid angry and If I join them they'll kill me!"

Nick~Hermes

I was working on forging a celestial bronze sword in black smith class with the Hephaestus cabin, when I looked up to see Kassie and some of her siblings coming towards me. I laid down my hammer and smiled, "what's up?"

Kassie stepped forward, "You want to be on our team for Capture the Flag tomorrow?"

I put on my business face, "Depends, what's in it for me and my cabin?" Normally, the cabins would make deals, trading shower times, chores schedule, and best slots for activities.

One of the Zeus boys, Trent I think, snickered. "Give him a kiss, Kassie, that'll sure get him to join." Kassie's face turned beat red, and I glared at the boy so murderously that he stepped back and lowered his gaze. I made a note to play one of my super deluxe nasty tricks on him. But inside, I was wondering how he knew, did I make it that obvious? Oh man, if this kid had a big mouth the whole camp would be joking around about a relationship that wasn't even there. I made another note to remind me to make my prank have the ability to disable his mouth.

It was Lila who finally saved us from the awkward silence. "We're the cleaning judge this week, we'll make sure that you don't get below seventh place."

I nodded, I liked the sound of that. Hermes cabin always failed the cleaning test. Having so many campers, and being the children of Hermes, things weren't always so tidy. "Deal." I said, shaking Lila's hand. As they walked away, I looked at Kassie out of the corner of my eye and saw that she was doing the same. We were both really embarrassed about Trent's comment. From now on I would have to be more careful about showing my feelings. But if my feelings were real, wasn't I suppose to show them? I shook my head, it was so confusing.

~ Kasey- Demeter~
> Wednsday<

I was bored out of my mind. The Ophelia girl seemed to have forgotten about me. I heard rumours about a capture the flag game. That sounded interesting. Now if only I had a friend. I sighed. A dark haired boy crossed my path. He looked grumpy. I ignored him, not wanting a fight. Until he spotted me.
"I'm Andreas."
I looked up.
" I'm Kasey. Demeter."
" Ares."
He looked bored and I thought he was going to walk away. His eyes suddenly lighted up.
" What team are you for capture the flag?"
" My cabin hasn't decided."
" Why don't you try to choose yourself?"
To tell you the truth I was shy.
" I don't know..."
" You can do it yourself!," his eyes turned to fire. I wonder what he was mad about.
" I- I wish I was an Ares kid,' I whispered.
' You do?"
" I'm a fighter. I can grow things but... it's not ME you know?"
" um... I guess...'
Why in the world was I trusting this random Ares kid? I was lonely. So incredibly lonely.
" Sorry," I said.
He nodded and a flash went off above his head.
"Why don't you be on the Ares team?'
" You guys are most likely to win anyway.."
He grinned at me.

" Well of corse."
" Huh. Consider us with you. After we get our little something, of corse.
He shook his head and I knew he had little faith in Demeter. I'd prove him wrong....eventually.

Lila - Zeus

I yawned. Jetlag. Maaajoooor jetlag. An... eight... month... tour... Zeus. Fun as all earth, but they took something out of you. I wasn't sure I'd even make it to Capture the Flag, my inner clock was that messed up. I was already falling asleep on my feet.

"I'm gonna... sleep... now..." I mumbled to the grass. I wasn't sure who was with me -if anyone even was- but hey, now they knew I was going to take a power nap. I stumbled into the cabin, barely able to haul myself up into the top bunk. Sleep, sweet, beautiful sleep...

And then I felt like I had to write a song. Nyeeeh. Maybe if I just... nope. No way of getting out of this.

I groaned and fumbled around for paper and pen. Clicking it clumsily, I blinked once or twice and stared at the lines. "It's been, a long a trip, away from places I don't want to see again," I mumbled. I nodded as I sang it under my breath. Sounded right. "And I wish, I could stay away from he-e-e-ere, but I can't! Escape it! And there's no, going baaaack," More scribbling and muttering.

And then, finally, I could sleep. Thank ZEUS. I didn't even get a good look at my luggage, still stacked messily in the corner, or any of my stuff. I'd gotten here half an hour ago, from a twenty-hour plane trip. Don't expect a description from me now.

I just wanna sleep.

oh, great. I already wrote about Lila

I did too, but hey, it's cool. We'll just say that was Tuesday night. Ok with you, Ninja?

Fine w/ me.

<Tuesday>
Desert Strohschein

I put my arm around her and pulled her close it was all I could do. Spirit, this isn’t nothing I whispered. I thought of a little girl never able to walk again and all I could think of was my little sister. My little sister in a wheelchair and I felt such a sudden depression and despair I almost cried out myself. I wrapped my other arm around her. Sobs were making her convulse. Oh why had she kept it to herself so long. Pretty soon my shirt was wet, but still I rocked her back and forth. Finally her crying slowed and her breathing became more regular. She unclenched her hands from my shirt with a bit of embarrassment on her face. “Sorry, I - ” Tears welled in her eyes again.

“It’s fine” I soothed. “Everything is going to be alright. Don’t worry I will be with you the whole time.” We were silent for a while. “So you don’t think I am stupid.” I was astonished. “Spirit when you said some petty little mortal thing I thought it was going to be a break up or something, and I still cared. I cared because you cared. But, this isn’t little. This is your sister. I care just as much as you do. You have a right to cry. I can’t even imagine.” My tones were hushed. “Thankyou” she whispered. I could tell she was still trying to hold back tears. “It’s going to be O.K.” I said and wrapped her in a hug. I have her a small kiss on the head. We stayed like that for a while each lost in our own thoughts.

She was again the one to break the silence. “Do you, do you ever wish you were claimed?” Her only answer was a grim smile. The moment was lost. Lost forever in the past. I could never go back. We would never go back. It thought of the smell. Her aroma. I couldn’t describe it, but her hair, she used vanilla shampoo. I would cling to that smell as long as I could. Simple and sweet yet you could fill up a boo- I stopped myself. Snapped out of it. We would never be together never. Yet she was sitting right there. In front of me. Just waiting for me to do something. So I did.

~I thought you might want to fill this part in. Only a kiss though k?~

Ophelia(Hades)-Tuesday

Kassey wandered off to talk to the new Ares boy, and I was alone, again. But that was how Hades children were meant to be, wasn't it? We all had a very limited social circle, after all. The only disadvantage I could see to that was that we would have a hard time finding a team for capture the flag tonight. I saw Georgie walking past, and thought about asking her if she found anyone to team up with, but decided against it. She would tell me if she had, I think.

I felt sort of bad for Kassey. It must be tough, being the only member of your cabin. I mean, I wasn't exactly friends with my cabin mates, but at least I had some. That way we could just be "the Hades cabin", instead of "that Hades girl", the way i'd sometimes hear people referring to Kassey (but with Demeter). Not that that is the only benefit of having siblings, certainly not to say that there aren't disadvantages, however.

Andreas-Ares
>Wednesday<

So yesterday Jack challenged me to a fight. I took that challenge. Worst decision of my life. He told me he knew how to fight hand to weapon, but I didn't believe him. I thought it was unfair to fight him that way, so I fought him hand to hand. He beat me up really bad. One time I knocked him off his feet though. But then he came back stronger the next time. When we were done he told me he found out what my weakness was, but he won't tell me. Why won't he tell me?

I was wandering around today when Kasey came up to me. I'd never talked to her before, so I figured I would. Maybe she could become my friend. If I liked her.

"I'm Andreas."

"I'm Kasey. Demeter." She replied in a slightly timid voice. She was shy, I could tell.

"Ares." We were both silent for a while, but then I got this brilliant idea.

"What team are you on for capture the flag?"

"My cabin hasn't decided yet."

That ticked me off. You should be in charge of your own choice, your cabin shouldn't have to make the decision for you. To tell the truth, I was just extremely mad at Jack and I was taking out my anger on everyone else, but whatever. I'm an Ares kid, that's expected of me.

"Why don't you be on the Ares team?"

"You guys are most likely to win anyway..."

I grinned. "Well of course."

"Huh, consider us with you. After we get our little something of course."

I nodded. Oh, they would get their little something, if they did their part. Kasey walked away and I went to find Lexie. I found her yelling at some new girl, I think her name is Luna or something like that. Anyway, I walked over to Lexie and told her about our Demeter alliance.

~Kassie~

I just couldn't wait until we played capture the flag. Maybe I was just ready to win and get it over with, or maybe I just wanted to have some fun. Who knew?

Or maybe I wanna see Nick again, I thought to myself. But I could do that any time I wanted to, with or without the excuse of a game. But earlier, I had actually thought about trading a kiss for him to be on our team. But how weird would it be if I just walked up to him and told him that was the case? What would he think? Did he even like me?

The questions floated around freely as I tried to figure out where he was excatly. Momentarily, I would settle for hanging out instead of kissing, maybe a hug thrown somewhere in the mix.

Jessie

The thing that bugged me worse than anything was having to be called Justice when I was clearly not him. I talked a lot more than him--if he even talked at all. But part of being like me is accepting being called two seperate names.

Why am I even thinking about this now? I asked myself, sighing, and standing up from where I had been hiding under a tree behind the bushes. Justice had no sense into what people did, he barely knew he had a name, let alone only one. He was smart, I gave him that, but he was the God side of me, innocent, the purest part of me. So he wasn't so much human, I expected, as he was a God. I was the human half, or so I could only hope to believe.
