Camp Athens

---

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.

The sun woke Adrian up bright and early, that was the only downside to having a house with a bunch of windows, that you can't sleep in. Adrian yawned as he sat up right in his bed, looking out the window to his field full of wild flowers, nobody was walking around yet so he decided to go make himself breakfast. Eggs, Toast, and sausage seemed to be the breakfast of the day since he was too lazy to make anything else. Adrian ate quickly as he remembered someone special was coming to camp today. He left the dishes in the sink, hopefully he'd remember to get them cleaned later.

Adrian literally galloped to the shower, he didn't care for the temperature. He washed quickly and didn't bother to dry himself off, which resulted to him laying on the floor trying to wiggle his jeans on. He groaned as he finally got them on and decided to slow down. After he was dressed he continued in his daily reunite of getting dressed. Everything from brushing his teeth to brushing his wings. He hummed to himself as he grabbed his guitar and checked the time. It wasn't even lunch yet, what was he supposed to do for an hour? Adrian grabbed his mini amp and left his cabin, going to his field of flowers. He plugged in his guitar and sat in the field, strumming random songs and singing his heart out. Soon enough this would make time go by faster.

She checked her wrist watch and digital clock struggling within herself to accept that the time did in fact align leaving no excuse for sleep and it meant leaving her warm bed for the camp. Trinity understood the purpose of the camp; to juice the demi-gods up and make them more informed on their powers and a valuable species but it didn't stop it from feeling like effort to drag herself out of bed. With a defeated groan, she bought herself to climb out, the first thing she did being run into Samuel's room and pounce on him, bouncing on the mattress to wake him as well. "I have to go to school," she growled at him and kissed his cheek firmly. Within reason too, because Samuel only rolled over grumbling pulling up his covers.

Trinity grabbed her prior packed bags and shuffled by the kitchen grabbing some yoghurt out of the fridge and cheesecake. She kissed her mother and Brian goodbye. But she were most looking forward to driving her audi sports car to camp. She dumped the bags in the back and smiled proudly to herself. A gift from her father that he were somewhat blackmailed into.

Trinity sped into camp, pulling up by her cabin, speakers blaring ACDC's-TNT that she had to turn off and continue lightly on her own terms as she made the transition of shifting the bags inside. Instinctively she did her routine (and debatable paranoid) check of the cabin and headed to the outlook, that were distorted by trees causing her to purse her lips and conjure up an axe. Trinity weren't gonna cut down all of them, just some so there were somewhat an essential view on each side.

█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.

Adrian was about to fall asleep as the sunlight came down over him, warming up his skin. He closed his eyes and stopped playing his guitar, however the second after he stopped, a famailar voice started border line screaming lyrics as she played her guitar as loud as possible. Making himself jump and scream, but the sound was soon followed by a dog and lots of doggy kisses. "Riley! Oh jesus, shit come on. I missed you too.." Once he finally got her off he turned around and looked up at Clara. "It's been such a long time." He said and pulled her down to the ground, taking her guitar and setting it ontop of his. He held her neck with his hands and acted like he was going in for a kiss but instead rubbed his cheeks on her cheeks, giving Clara all of Riley's kisses. "Haha! Payback...it's a b*tch, isn't it?" He asked her laughing his heart out.

Adrian smiled and hugged her as Clara leaded her head on his shoulder, he felt almost a heart breaking feeling as she pushed him to get herself back up. He ignored the feeling and stared at her while she talked to him. He loved the way her eyes shined in the sunlight, and the way her hair fell so perfectly. She never had to try, it just came naturally. He noticed she was done talking and looked away before looking back at her. "I think you said there's a big window over your bed. I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to your talking, I was just admiring your beauty. Are you sure your not a child of Aphrodite, because I'm falling for you." He said jokingly. He got to his feet and picked up his guitar. "Well since we are right here, let's drop off our guitar's at my cabin and go make friends?"

After the airplane landed, the trip to camp ended up being much shorter than Takeo originally thought and he had quite a few spoils to boot. None of them were things that he needed (they typically never were), but they were all pretty novel so he kept them until he came upon the nearest homeless man camping in an alley. He ended up dumping everything he stole on the bearded geezer but kept the pearl necklace as it seemed like something that an Aphrodite kid might like. They seemed like vain bastards if their mother was anything to go by.

When he arrived he saw quite a few kids already interacting including a pair of siblings who were hugging each other. Typical that by the time I come everybody's already buddy-buddy he chuckled as he dragged his things deeper into Camp Athens. He supposed that he ought to find his cabin before making judgments but the question was...where the hell was it? Hermes hadn't exactly given him instructions on what to do after coming to camp so he glanced around, wondering if he'd be lucky enough to come upon any half-siblings.

█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.

Adrian pouted as Clara said someone already had her heart, he didn't want some stupid idiot to have her heart. That wasn’t fair, it had to at least be someone he approved of. Thoughts ran through his head about who it could be, but then she told him it was the dog. Adrian literally sighed in relief, before grabbing his guitar and walking towards the little stone path that led to his front door. He forgot that there was a gab in the stairs, he had come to his cabin drunk one night and fell through the stairs. He picked her up off her feet, dropping his guitar and flew her up to his door, he went back for Riley and then for his guitar. It wasn't necessary but he didn't want to take too long.
After unlocking the door he walked in first, asking her to close the door behind her. He set his guitar back on his guitar stand and placed hers right beside it. He still had room for one more guitar if needed. Adrian looked down at his shirt and realized that he was covered in dog drool, he sighed as he pulled his shirt off and threw it in the direction of where the laundry room would be. He looked at Clara's reaction and smiled. "Like what you see? I should just go out like this, let all the ladies stare.." He laughed before walking into the laundry room and grabbing a new shirt. It took him a while to put his shirt on, having wings wasn't the best thing in the world, but after he was done he put his arm around Clara's shoulders and left the house, just helping both Clara and Riley don't the gaped staircase instead of flying down.

Jack woke up feeling sick, he had decided to finally get out of his cabin that he had been hold up in for a few days. Living of a box of old saltines and some water, he was getting really really hungry. Yet he felt nauseous because he would have to meet people, and that doesn't go well usually for him. Jack slowly got up from his bed and made his way over to his unpacked suitcase, and just digging around till he found a suitable pair of jeans and a shirt he stepped out the door, he glared at the sun like it had made him leave the safety of his cabin.
Jack taking a second to take in his surroundings he noticed an outdoor blacksmith area, "I'm definitely going to look into that later" he said aloud. Then he noticed the sent of fresh food making his mouth water. He started to walk in the direction the smells were coming from, and being blinded by the sun he didn't notice the person who walked right into him, knocking him down and causing him to roll down the hill with them. When he finally came to a stop he started to apologize profusely "Oh god, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry", cringing back waiting for a string of profanities to be thrown his way. But then he heard something that shocked him to his core. "Jack?". stunned beyond belief he Jack quietly says aloud "Jenova?"

█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."

█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.

Adrian frowned when the call for everyone to go to the main hall came on. He couldn't just explore with his best friend? Of course someone has to get in the way of that. He pointed in the direction that the main hall was and put his arm around Clarie's shoulder, half putting his weight on her as they walked, he had his right wing pushing her into him so she wouldn't fall over. However he saw two friendly famailar faces walking not that fair from him. He pointed to one of them and whispered at Clarie "It's Toby!" He had a big smile on his face, and after getting her permission to go he literally flew into Toby sending him flying with him. "My best friend!" He screamed, everyone within 5 feet of him probably thought he was crazy. He heard Jennova say "Stop stealing my boyfriend!"

A N D Y



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.

Son of Hermes | "Speech" | Thoughts

Takeo walked quite the distance to get his cabin, lost in his own thoughts of how many pieces of weaponry he could get away with stealing before anyone caught him. The "Big Three" as Hermes called them were not to be trifled with as they were the strongest among any of the other Gods' offspring and as such, could probably kick his ass if given a fair fight. He would need to make friends, preferably with people from Hephaestus, although he hadn't met any. Well technically he hadn't met anyone but that was his fault. He'd have to put on a friendly face and talk more.

Pretty much the complete opposite of what I feel like doing, he thought as he reached his cabin.

As suspected there was no one inside yet so he got first pick of beds...and the opportunity to look for any tools anyone left behind. A compressible sword, ninja star bottle caps, and a book. He really didn't need the book but supposed that "War and Peace" might be a good sleeping pill. Had he bothered to open the book he might have realized that there was a flask inside but he overlooked it in favor of heading out to the main hall.

Adrian laughed as Toby's reactions were played out like cards on a table. He helped Toby up after knocking him down, and hugged him again. When he spoke of Adrian's undying love to Clara, Adrian blushed and shook his head. "No no, she doesn't know yet." He smiled and watched Toby's reaction. It was no secret that he felt something more for Clara however he wasn't stupid, if anything happened they wouldn't be friends anymore. He was never going to take that chance. Besides he was too much of a flirt anyways. He looked at Toby as they walked back to the girls. "Have you tied the knot yet? Two years, come on. She wont be there forever unless you put a ring on that finger" He was serious, though sometimes it was hard to tell. As they walked back, Adrian wondered what if he could ever settle down and get married. Or if that was even an option for him.

As they walked back to the girls Adrian felt uneasy as he approached Jennova, the two had a bad past. A one night stand went wrong, however nobody but the two would know about it, he didn't even know if Toby knew. "Hello Jenn, sorry for stealing your boyfriend you can have him back."

Jennova half smiled at him before flat out asking "Do you have any other feelings for Clara besides friendship."

Adrian's smile fell, he knew he couldn't lie, he hated Jennova for asking that question at a time like this. He looked at Toby then at Clara and then back at Jennova, he bit his inner cheek before answering. "No." He said firmly. "Stay out of it. Whatever you have against me we can settle on the battlefield."

Jennova laughed at him. "Honey, we both know I would win. And I'm not just being cocky." Adrian glared at her before shaking his head and smiling.

---

Jennova watched as Adrian took down her boyfriend and screamed at him afterwards, she felt like every time Adrian came into the picture Toby was gone from beside her. She pouted before realizing there was another person beside her within seconds. It was one of her few friends. She smiled at Clara, haven't seeing her in so long. "I've been well, how have you been." She made a secret gesture towards Adrian before scratching behind her ear. "Any luck? I have some lingere if it comes down to it. We both know he couldn't resist that." Jennova whispered the last part, though she finished quickly before the boys made it back to them. "Just ask him how he feels, you can tell if he's lying...Or.." She stopped as she thought of something.

█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.

As Andy stood there, one of the guys stepped away slightly when his phone went off. She couldn't help but glance at him slightly, as her brows furrowed. She felt like she knew him, or he was familiar or something. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she definitely felt like she should know him. But Andy wasn't the eves dropping type so she stepped more towards Ajax, ignoring the telephone conversation before the male disappeared towards the hall.

Andy raised up a hand to brush back loose auburn locks as she glanced at the male, she felt bad about possibly interrupting or whatever she did and she hated being the newbie here but she wasn't going to find out where she needed to go by being super anti social. "I'll walk with you. I'm heading back that way myself." He motioned his head in the direction they were going to travel in, and smiled in her direction. Andy managed a sweet smile in return before he added, "Are you okay with your luggage or.. would you like me to help you carry some?"

Andy chuckled softly, more to herself as her hands grasped the straps of her backpack tugging at them slightly, "I don't really have anything besides what's in here, but thank you." She smiled once again in his direction, "I'm like the lowest maintenance girl... ever." They made their way up to the hall, and before entering she glanced at him slightly, "Thanks for the directions Tom Tom," hopefully her sarcastic remarks would come off too cold, she just wanted to kinda lighten the awkward tension from her intruding on something that she really should have just walked away. "I'll let you go... be angry now or whatever" She started to step through the door before adding one more comment, "I'm Andy by the way."

Andy felt like a fish out of water. She had barely known for more than a week that she was a demi-god and now she's surrounded by them. And to make things worse, she couldn't go be anti social because every table had a handful of people at them. She glanced around trying to find a gap where she might be able to disappear into, until she saw the guy that had be on the phone outside earlier... the one that looked familiar. With a sigh, Andy set her back pack on the table before sitting down next to the male, "So I'm just going to come out and say it. You look very familiar... Have we met before?" But before he had a chance to answer the question, she felt the ground begin to shake and a rumbling noise coming from outside. Andy was already regretting coming here. She fished through her backpack until she found a pretty pathetic dagger from her bag, she didn't have much in the arena of weapons but her father insisted on her taking this with her. And with that, she slipped the blade through her belt loop and ran outside.

He felt bad for lying to Clara like that, but it was better then having to start a relationship he wasn't sure about. He didn't want to lose her as a friend, and hoped that she wouldn't be around him when he's drunk, the last thing he wanted was to wake up and have her be in his bed. He would never forgive himself, and there were plently of other girls that he was sure were dying to get in that spot anyways. Probably none that he'd ever talk to again though. As Adrian came into the main hall he grabbed Clara's hand and led her to a table, that didn't look too pacted yet. He didn't quite see everyone he knew that came here every summer or year round so he knew they wouldn't be starting until those people did arrive.

---

Jennova smiled at Toby as he told her what an interesting conversation, her pure evil personality showing in the smile before disappearing as she followed Adrian and Clara to the main hall, she looked at everyone that was there, seeing friendly faces, as well as some she'd hope she'd never see again however life never works the way anyone wants it too. She smiled at once that glaceed her way and gave her a friendly smile. She stood in the back of the room, not wanting to be so close to everyone else, she gestured for Toby to join Adrian and Clara, not being too bothered at all if he decided to go or not. She just couldn't stand so many people in one spot for too long. Once she figured out what this was about she'd dip out before anyone got the chance to notice her gone and go see her father. She put her hand in her leather jacket and pulled out three wooden eye balls. Her VIP pass to the underworld. She held one up and blew on it, examining it before putting it back in her pocket and waiting for whatever was going on to hurry up and start.

---

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.

God of course this mystery whatever it is would find a way to interrupt any chances she had at finding some sort of concrete information about this place or her life. Maybe if she knew one person, this place wouldn't be so foreign to her. But alas she would not get that answer due to the more than obvious plate tectonics that was happening under the camp. The male seemed as if he was going to stop her just before she exited the hall. She didn't really understand why, but he did. Wielding only her little dagger, Andy weaved her way through people until she was closer to the front. She had a bad habit of being too curious, and didn't really seem to care too much if it got her hurt.

As her eyes began to scan the area she felt someone's hand grasp her wrist momentarily. The touch had a weird sensation, almost as if they had sent something coursing through her body... she felt stronger. But how? She glanced in the direction of the grasp to see a blonde making her way up through the crowd. Andy had almost forgotten that the girl had been sitting at the table that she rudely intruded in on for answers. She supposed she should make a mental note to apologize and introduce herself but right now was not the time. As Andy continued to look around, her eyes set upon the young man she had questioned from before. He wasn't too far behind her and he was already looking at her. Did he seem... worried?

Between the blonde feeling the need to spread some strength or whatever and the guy looking a little nervous about her as well... Andy couldn't help but get a little frustrated at how these people see the new girl to be so weak. Sure they didn't know much about her, but she wasn't weak. She grew up on military bases for heaven's sake. But she wasn't going to draw attention or anything, it wasn't her scene. She simply grasped the hilt of her dagger with both hands, tugging slightly it separated into 2 identical daggers, light weight and aerodynamic. It was a simple weapon, enchanted to always be able to separate into more knives. Now with 2 small knives, she lightly tossed them in the air and grabbed them at the blade not the handles. Throwing knives has always been her favorite hobby, but she never thought that she'd ever need to use it or even this dagger. But at this camp? Who knows.

█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.

Andy couldn't believe her eyes... A minotaur! This of myth... of legend and it was right before her, before all the campers. She didn't really know anyone here besides her strange connect to the brunette male standing behind her, but she still felt the urge to try and protect everyone. She never had a knack for mindless killing or fighting. Andy wanted to do something, but she wasn't quite sure at first... How do you fight a large wild animal? How do you kill it? Then it hit her like a strike of lighting, you tame it!

And with that she darted down the small hill towards the minotaur, tucking her daggers into the back of her jeans so her hands were free. As she closed a majority of distance so she was maybe 20 ft away from the beast. Thankfully the minotaur was temporarily distracted by the blonde girl with the bow and the boy with the wings that seemed to come to her aid immediately. With only a few seconds to spare before the monster either attacked them or turned towards her, Andy crouched down before jumping up in the air, grabbing onto a branch of the nearest tree. Hoisting herself up, she moved to her feet, balancing precariously on the outstretched branch. Bringing her nimble fingers to her lips she whistled to get the minotaur's attention.

Alright, it worked!... Oh shit it worked! Pivoting so quickly it nearly caught Andy by surprise. With a deep breath she withdrew her knives that were tucked in the back of her pants, "You got this... you got this." She said to herself, trying to reassure herself that she wasn't insane. When the minotaur closed the distance, he slammed his horns into the trunk of the tree. She wasn't expecting that, and it was apparent because the jolt sent her tumbling off the branch. The only thing she could think to do to keep herself from falling to the ground and getting trampled to death, was take her knives and plunge them into the back of the beast. Her grip nearly slipping after the blades pierced the skin, but she was able to hook her foot onto the hip of the minotaur, so she could tighter her grip on the knife handles.

With a stronger grip, Andy pulled herself up onto the back of the now bucking minotaur. She hooked her legs around it's torso, but didn't realize as her hands tugged down on the knives it was like handlebars, the downward tugs made the beast move backwards. She hadn't noticed her control over him until it backed itself and her into the truck of the tree she was in only moments ago. "Ahhh!" The collision took her breath away, and her grip weaken exponentially. So not knowing how much longer, she did the only thing she could think of. Thrusting forward on the knives, she directed the furious beast straight towards the lake.

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."

Andy kept trying to get a better balance on the massive creature as she lead it towards the lake, but kept loosing footing every time an arrow or spear slammed into the beast. A couple of the incoming weapons nicked her skin, nothing too horrible until one spear took a good size chunk out of her left shoulder, which made her nearly loose her grasp completely. She tried to look up over her shoulder at the campers to tell them to watch their aim, but as she turned back the first thing that caught her attention was a spear that was flying right at her. She was preparing to fall to the ground at the last moment but she saw the spear shifted midair and miss her, thankfully. She wanted to know who did that, but the crowd had too many people doing way too much for her to pin point the one who helped her.

She wouldn't deny that she was more than happy to hear the blonde girl the grabbed her wrist earlier shout for everyone to hold their fire. Andy was already having a hard enough time staying on the damned thing with it bucking and writhing, let alone an onslaught of fire from the friendlies. Now she was able to carefully light herself up onto the back of the minotaur, standing on its shoulders in a crouching position which gave her more control and balance. She was getting close to the lake when she heard someone tell her to steer it back towards the crowd. She looked over her shoulder towards him, "Are you crazy!?" she shouted back at the male.

Andy's original plan was to run the monster into the lake, just hoping that it would scare it away or something. I mean the thing smelled like it hasn't had a bath in centuries so she assumed it didn't like water, especially with lord knows what matted into it's mane. If it didn't do it, she assumed there was a spawn of Poseidon in that crowd somewhere... they could have drowned it or something. Sure she didn't take into account what would happen to her but that was honestly in the back of her mind.

She didn't have much time to make a choice, she was only 30 feet from the lake. As she continued to close the distance to the lake, she cursed under her breath, leaning to the left while pulling on the knives to turn the monster around, and back towards the crowd. Her eyes locked on the male that had told her to turn it back, "I REALLY hope you know what you're doing!"

She must of been knocked out for a little while after the coughing, but she soon come around as she wasn't out for the count that long. The impact of the Minotaur's horns had been tough on the human side of her, but luckily her Demigod side was tougher to hurt, or kill. She tried to get up, but her legs were the main part of her that were in pain. She guessed that she might of landed a little less graceful than she had hoped. She was dreading to show her face in-front of everyone, because she had a reputation of being the strongest Demigod on Camp, but one bullheaded beast had gotten the upper hand with her not training. That would soon change in the morning.

Alex rolled onto her back. She couldn't believe that she had made things worse, what the hell would her brother of said to her for being so reckless? All she wanted to do was stun the beast, or slow it down, but with everyone now attacking the poor thing; in the most brutal ways, she actually felt sorry for it. There had to be a different way to stop it, and that's when Andy came in. It actually made Alex chuckle, but she stopped as it hurt her ribs that felt a little bruised. Hopefully one of them weren't broken because that would suck with the Camps activities starting in the morning. She moved the foliage from her face, and let out a heavy sigh while laying on her back. She felt a little dizzy, but at least the air was back in her lungs. "Damn it." she said to herself quietly before her ears picked up footsteps heading in her direction, followed by one voice that could of made her smile if her face didn't hurt so much. Thank God someone cared enough to come and check if she was okay, even with who she was.


"You okay?" All Alex could do for now was nod once she leaned on her knees. She could of sworn she was going to be sick, so she wasn't as okay as she thought she was. The impact against the trees trunk that she had hit, had knocked her for six, causing the dizziness to make her feel like she could spew at any second. She held a finger up to him, and curled over a little. Hopefully she'd be alright in a second. "Just.. give me a moment." Luckily her brother wasn't here, because his first reaction would be to protect his sister from not just the Minotaur, but the arrows that were flying all over the place to hit the beast. One had almost hit Alex straight in her ankle, but luckily she had managed to move her foot unknowingly seconds before it struck the ground. "We gotta stop them, Daniel. They're going to hurt that girl on the back of that thing." She could see Trinity working along the side of David, the son of Hades. He had totally ignored her. I hope that Minotaur knocks you on y o u r ass. she thought to herself, then tore her eyes from him as she watched Andy struggling to control the beast, before looking to the others, and quickly going over in her head of a plan to stop them, to make them cease fire. She got up while using Daniel and the tree beside her for support, and hobbled a little before getting her balance. She shot out her hand, sending lighting bolts across the Camp once more, but this time hitting the others weapons out of their hands. "Stop! you're going to hurt that girl on the back of that thing. Daniel, go help her."

He had no damn clue where he was, not until he heard the distant screams of souls, and the warmth of fire. So this was the underworld? he stood up from where the portal had dropped him, his gaze now looking to the careless Jennova. At least that's what he thought at first, that she had been careless.. but it was an accident. "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." at least she had the decency to be honest about it. Ajax was good with picking up on liars, Sometimes.. Most liars were after all good actors. "if Alex gets hurt? I'm blaming you. I have to be there to protect her! not down here in this hell hole! Which stinks by the way.. literally."

How the hell was he going to get back to the Camp if he wasn't even suppose to be here in the first place? "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." He was about to reply to that, but the second he saw a Cerberus bowing down in-front of them, his attention remained on it's three head, worried that it might try and eat him. When she offered her hand to him, he wasn't sure if he wanted to go, or stay. He didn't want to even be here, he had just wanted to rescue Alex. What if she was hurt by that thing that was attacking Camp? what if no-one was looking out for her? "Don't worry about Alex, if she's anything like you. She will be fine, as will everyone else at camp." He looked at her hand for a second, then blinked his gaze back to her own. "I hope you're right. But umm, you expect to ride this thing through.. what ever those are." He pointed out to the souls that were wailing in pain. "How do I even know I can trust you? how do I know you'll get me back to the portal without handing me over to your father?" maybe he'd just have to take the risk this time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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?

Andy still mounted upon the minotaur, lead it towards the crowd. She didn't really have a clue what was going on until she saw the blonde begin to charge in her direction. It wasn't until the girl slid on her knees towards the beast while holding a stick that she realized to the full intent of what was going on. All she could mutter was, "Shit..." under her breath. She had mere moments to brace herself. She made sure to loosen her knives to avoid farther harming the animal. She did so just in time because not a second later the force of the monster falling forward sent her flying off the top of it.

She hit the ground with a thud and began to roll away from the minotaur. When she felt herself slow down she shifted her frame to a crouching position out of a roll and quickly pushed off the ground. Leaving her knives in the grass she ran back to the animal. It was being to regain it's senses, trying to push up off the ground with it's hands. When Andy reached the minotaur, she jumped up, grabbing hold of it's horns, using her full weight to bring it back to the ground. Pushing her feet against the minotaur's shoulders, she pulled as much as she could downward on the horns to keep the beast down.

"That's a good beasty." She whispered to the minotaur. It looked her straight in the eyes, showing all the fear that it felt within. Andy couldn't help but to begin to worry for the creatures safety. With that she released one of her hands from a horn, while still using the other to hold it down, she took her free hand hesitantly but gently rub the creatures snout. With that, she looked towards the male that had told her to head back towards him in the first place, "Please... don't kill him."

Wes pulled up to the outskirts of the camp in an overly luxurious limo. Although the driver had been stopped for a few moments, he still sat in the back on the phone with his mother, "So why couldn't I bring my Porsche?... I still think I'm too old for a camp... But-... Why can't I just go stay with you?... I get that but-... Yeah, yeah ok... Yeah, bye." With a sigh he hung up the phone, before grabbing his duffle bag and climbing out of the car. Staring up at the entrance to camp, he gave a heavy sigh while adjusting his duffle over his shoulder, "Why do I feel like my self worth just decreased?"

Once making his way up the hill to the camp, he began to hear the shoutings of the battle that was already under way. He obviously was curious and made his way to the large crowd of campers that stood are watching the fight with weapons in hand but not firing. Although Wes was tall, he still couldn't really see what was going on until he weaved his way through the others until he was at the front of the group. Oh, so this is what all the commotion is for? Should have brought some popcorn!" Wes obviously had no desire to get involved but thought of it as mere entertainment. He wanted no part of anything that could possibly maim his perfect visage.

Wes had to try and stifle a laugh when he saw the brunette get thrown from the top of the monster, tumbling and rolling in his direction. She came to a halt, then got back up and ran back at the monster just before colliding into Wes. "I give that landing a solid 7." He looked towards the people that stood on either side of him, "No?...No?... Pssh Lighten up, it's just a minotaur!" He then looked down at his feet, seeing the brunette's knives. Without a second thought he leaned down picking them up and studied them, "High quality tooth picks, huh?"

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.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jennova rolled her eyes at Ajax remark, she counted to ten in her head before blinking and continuing to wait for the royal pain in the ass to hurry up. It had been any where from fifteen minutes to thirty since the two had first gotten here, and that was too long in her book. As he finally got on Cerebus and demanded for her to take him home she patted Cerebus. "Yes, your royal pain in my ass." She muttered under her breath, hardly realizing she had said it out loud as they quickly got through the river of souls, she swung her leg over and slid down her over sized puppy as the two of them came up to the gate, the tall rusted gates to hell as she liked to call them, though every time they opened a large sort of bell would go off, so instead of opening that, she led Ajax down a hall way where she opened a much smaller door, one that would be considered normal back at camp. Through the door, now the view of the underworld was much more noticeable, she smiled as she paused for half a second to look at it before following the path that would led them straight to the portal.

---

It didn't take long before the hallway led them into a big open space, in the center of the room was a large circle that had stairs all around it leading up to the circle. "There you go, your way back home." She gestured for him to go, though out of the corner of her eye she could see Hades coming at Ajax with a blade. Jennova didn't know what she was doing, but it was pure instinct as she screamed Ajax's name and stepped in front of the knife. She put a hand on her father's arm as she felt the blade go right into her stomach. Her vision was in a haze, she heard a mixture of voice, though all she could do was turn around to face Ajax and use all of her energy to push him into the portal.
She watched as his body disappeared into the portal back to where he was before he left camp. Jennova sunk to the ground, so many thoughts running through her head as she held onto the blade that was still in her stomach. She looked up at Hades, his emotion unreadable. "I hate you" She managed to say, her words blurred. She could tell he was hurt, though she didn't care as her world turned black, the last thing she could hear was her beating heart weakening.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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."

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.

---

She had been moved from sitting by the portal, as she dozed off she could feel hands, and suddenly she was lifted off the ground and placed somewhere else. As she drifted into her own world she could hear Toby talking, she started to wonder if that was truly Toby or her mind just playing tricks on her. Her stomach ached as blood slowly poured out of her body, but after a while there was a hot pain coming to her stomach, which woke her up at once. She tried to move away from the pain but something was pushing her down.

It took her eyes a few seconds to adjust to the surroundings around her, however once they did she noticed she wasn't alone. Dave was holding her stomach in one spot while Toby was burning the dagger still in her stomach. Jennova groaned through clenched teeth as she searched for something to grab and hold onto for personal comfort. She swore she could hear Hades saying sorry, but she couldn't move her head to search for him. She'd love to show him a piece of her mind, like how it's not nice to stab people without communication.

"Gawh! Toby stop!" Jennova yelled after a few seconds of the dagger being too hot. She just wanted it out of her stomach. And soon enough it was, but what she had thought before was a misunderstanding, now she was in a whole different type of pain. She looked up at Dave and then at Toby before muttering a few words not in the order she wanted it to come out. "Great...You...Thanks..Hurts...Ugh" She couldn't get the words to come out in the right order but she hoped the two understood what she meant. She loosened her grip on whatever her hands had found to grab and closed her eyes. Her mind became blank as all her energy to stay awake slowly faded and her body relaxed as she fell asleep once more.

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.

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.
