Mount Olympus

Jace

She freezes but kisses back and I try to ignore the humongous welt of guilt boiling up inside me, hoping she doesn't think I'm simply taking advantage of her passive mood.

"Just relax," I whisper midkiss, "Don't think about anything...at all."

Rayah

How do I do that...?

I still don't know what to do, not knowing where to start, and close my eyes, trying to clear my mind while still kissing him.

Jace

This isn't working, is it?

Discouraged, I pull away and shake my head.

"Sorry, i thought...I thought it would help," I say, looking away while thinking again, "Guess it didn't."

Rayah

Confused, I open my eyes and swallow, my headache growing bigger. I turn around and press my forehead against a rock, closing my eyes again.

Please dear god help me...

Jace

I watch her before setting a hand on her back, stroking her shoulder with my thumb.

Rayah

My body goes cold instead of hot this time and I cross my arms over myself, my face going pale again as I keep my eyes closed and taking deep breaths.

Jace

She goes freezing and I try my best to stay calm and quiet, letting her try and do things her way.

Rayah

Using myself to heat up, I turn back around, my face slowly turning to it's original color. "I feel like... I have migranes..." I mutter, bringing a hand to my head.

Jace

I nod and sigh, "What do you usually do to get rid of those?"

Rayah

I shrug, sighing, and my mind goes blank. I remove my hand from my forehead and just stare off onto the lake, not thinking of anything whatsoever.

Jace

She starts acting weird and I just watch, afraid to touch her or say anything.

Rayah

Fortunately, this brought me back to normal. I blink, glancing around. My eyes catch Jace and I had totally forgot he was here, "Oh, uh, hey," I said, rubbing my eyes.

Jace

I study her, "Hey... You better now?"

Rayah

I nod, flashing a smile, and realize I'm in clothes...again. I sigh and look at him, "If we're swimming I am not swimming in clothes," I look down at myself, uncomtorable at how it clings to my body, and make my way to shore.

Jace

I scratch the back of my head, "We...weren't swimming, but okay..."

I follow her back to shore.
