[code=D3D3D3]"She better not harm my locket or I swear to the gods I will wring her skinny little neck with my own two hands," [/code] Callidora thought angrily as she stormed around camp half blood searching for the soon to be dead, daughter of Hermes.
During her normal normal routine, Callie had noticed that a simple, brass locket, was missing from her dresser. While it might seem like a normal trinket to any outside observer, it was one of Callie's most prized possessions.The necklace had been a gift from her father, shortly before his death. Inside, it contained a small picture of the two of them, smiling ear to ear on a park bench beneath a large, oak tree in central park during one of their many visits to New York City. It was one of the few things that she had left of her beloved father, and she knew that Alex had taken it, this would not be the first time she had taken something of her's.
Callie's anger had softened slightly at that thought. She had never told Alex of the intense feelings attached to such a seemingly simple piece of jewelry, but that still did not quell her want to once again feel it's comforting weight on her sternum.
[code=FF3030]"Good morning Cals,"[/code] the all too chipper to be normal, Nerus, chided from a few paces behind her.
Callie sighed, she was definitely going to have a very long training session after she had gotten her locket back, perhaps with one of Ares's children, they were always fun to train with.
"Please not now Nerus, I'm not in a very good mood today," she said as she felt a headache begin to bubble up behind her eyes.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an object fluttering high above the ground. It was far to big to be a bird, which could only mean...."Alex," Callie yelled, running towards her, Nerus following close behind.
"Alex, give me back my locket," Callie said as they got closer to her, but Hermes offspring showed no signs of slowing down.
"ALEX!" She tried once more, desperation and utter sadness coated her voice that in any other circumstance would embarrass her to no end, but at this moment Callie could have cared less, she just wanted it back.
"I got her," Nerus said confidently, as shimmering golden bow and quiver appeared on his person, both a gracious gift from his godly father.
It took him but a few moments to load the arrow, and pull the string of the bow back with expert technique that, even in her state, infatuated Callie. Nerus took a deep breath, aimed, and let the arrow loose. It whizzed through the air with terrifying speed, as though it were a ray of sun flying from the bow of Apollo himself. The arrow narrowly missed hitting Alex's head, but instead went in front of her, bursting into a blinding light. Callie could only watched in pure terror and horror, as a small object began to to plummet to the Earth from the still hovering girls hand.
