Cᴀmᴘ Hᴀlғ Bʟoᴏd R.P discussion

Here is the cabin for Apollo kids only

I nudged the door open with my foot. Empty, for the moment.

I made my way over to one of the first bunks that appeared unclaimed and threw my duffle bag up onto it.

First day at camp. I thought. I'm here, what next?

Since no one else was around, I decided to sort through my stuff. I climbed up onto my bunk and unzipped my bag.

I reached in, fishing around for my journal, when my fingers brushed against something thin and papery.

As I pulled it out, I realized it was an envelope - my favorite shade of blue. On the front was one word scrawled in messy boy’s writing;

Jamie

A hand flew to my mouth. This...this couldn't be from him, could it? I swallowed a sob.

With slightly trembling hands, I flipped open the envelope and pulled out a plain sheet of scratch paper. Again, I wrestled down the urge to start crying. After all, I would have known if he'd written me a letter right? But I had only seen this handwriting one place before, and I almost couldn't read it, but I did.


Hey Jamie,

So you're going to summer camp huh? That's cool, I asked to go with you but mom said I couldn't. She never really said why. Anyway, I hope you have fun there, from the way you talked about it, I'd guess you're pretty excited. I'll miss you though. I'm not sure I can go an entire summer without someone to shoot hoops with. Brooke’s okay but she's not as good as you! Wherever you're going, they better have a good basketball court. How else will you remember me?


A few disobedient tears forced their way down my cheeks, bringing with them a string of sobs.

I forced them down and kept reading.


Haha, just kidding. Its going to be so weird without you here though, a little bit emptier, a little bit more quiet. And...I don't know, it'll just feel weird. Oh, and I heard that you're not allowed to use cell phones while you're there, so write often. Even with your dislexia, once a week shouldn't be hard :p. I miss you already, sis.

Your favorite brother,
Jak

Ps. Bring me back something cool ;)


This time I couldn't stop the tears streaming down my face. The sloppy stitches in my heart were ripped out and I hurt all over again.

Oh the fates were cruel. Why did they do this to me? Over and over again? It wasn't fair.

I snatched up the evelope and was about to march down to the pavilion so I could burn the both of them, when another piece of paper slipped out and fluttered into my lap.

I hesitantly picked it up, turning it over. In an instant my heart nearly collapsed on itself.

It was a picture. A picture of Me and Jak taking a selfie in front of Mt. Kea. We both had crazy grins on our faces, like it was the best day of our lives. And as far back as I could remember, it had been.

On the bottom of the picture, written in pen were the words:

So you don't forget

At that point, I couldn't take it anymore. I keeled over and began to sob. Not just I'm-upset sobs, but I'm-slowly-suffocating-under-all-the-sadness sobs.

“Why?!” I all but screamed. “Why does it hurt so bad?!”

I nearly yelped at the sound of a voice. I hadn't realized anyone else was in here.

I quickly wiped my tears on my sleeve. "Hi um...sorry. Did I wake you up?"

I bit my lip. This girl didn't look threatening, and if she was in this cabin she was probably my sister. I shuddered slightly. That would take some getting used to.

"Yeah I'm new." I replied. "I got here this afternoon."

I climbed down to introduce myself properly (did people this far north even do that anymore?).

"I'm Jamie." I told her. "What's your name?"

I accepted her hand. "South Carolina. You?" I gave her a genuine smile - the first one I'd done since January 14. It felt good.

((Sorry for the wait))

"Ireland? Wow!" I said feeling myself grin back. "That's pretty far! My family and I, we..." I trailed off for a moment, trying to keep the tears in my eyes from forming. My smile dissolved. "We did a lot of traveling. But I haven't been to Ireland yet."

I realized I was still holding the picture of Jak, and I tightened my grip on it.

I bit my lip, trying to decide how much I should tell her. Or maybe how much I could tell her before I broke down in tears.

"I...yeah. We're close. Even more so now."

((No problem!))

I lowered my head, glancing down at the picture again.

"Yeah." I said softly. "It does."

I grimaced slightly. "My brother and I...we were really close."

I shook my head. "No, I...I haven't had the chance yet."

I slipped the picture of Jak into my pocket and flashed Anna a grin. "Why don't you take me there? I need a tour of the camp."

I smiled a little at her enthusiasm. It was refreshing. Maybe making a few friends here would be just what I needed to ease the pain for a little while.

"Anna?" I called from the doorway. "I'm going to the beach, you wanna come?"

I tucked my surf board under my arm and adjusted my shirt.

I grinned and wheeled around. "Cool! I've always been taught never to surf alone."

P.J. walked in and sat down near the fire place in the middle of the room near the beds. It was kind of cosy but instead of it being hot like she had though. It was a cool breeze, with a bit if warmness on the pillows. Her midsection was showing which made her a bit uncomfortable to be honest but she liked the outfit and stuck with it.

(( Outfit: https://goo.gl/images/Lmo4CB ))

Theo walked out of the washroom, wearing all black, which he had to steal from the Ares cabin since the Apollo stuff was all bright coloured. He flopped down on his bed before realizing that P.J was there.
"Oh, gods!" He jumped down and hugged Pearl from behind, kissing her on the cheek.
"Sorry, didn't notice you were here."

She smiled when he hugged her from behind, it made her feel comfortable and safe. It was definitely new then she remembered that it was only skin there and blushed furiously. "H-hi Theo" she said a little jumpy.

Theo glanced at her outfit, and then looked back her.
"You look nice." He smiled, wondering why she looked so uncomfortable. He sat down across from her and put his feet up on the table.
"You okay?"

She smiled at his compliment, then blushed again when asked her if she was fine. "Everything's fine, but I'm just not used to having hugs where skin is showing..." she felt a little embarrassed. He was probably used to it, she most likely seemed likean amateur.

"Oh. You shouldn't be embarrassed about it, your beautiful." He smiled brightly at her, leaned over and kissed her again.

"Why thank you, but I cannot seem to shake the feeling of vulnerability off my shoulders." She half-joked.

"Well, if you ever feel uncomfortable, just tell me okay?" he glanced around the cabin. There were a few people around, but none of them were paying attention.
"So, what's the plan for tonight?"

She nodded her head and smiled. "Well I was thinking we could go to a movie? Last time we didn't and I was kind of dissapointed." She said with a playful pout on her face. "So I was thinking we could go see a horror film!" Pearl said excitedly but still only they could hear it . "Where would you even go?" Jacob walked up behind P.J. and startled her a bit. She turned around and wacked him in the nose landing him on the floor. "Oh my gosh. I'm sorry!" She got up.

Theo laughed.
"Nice one." He glared at Jacob, not offering to help him.
"And Jacob, what do our evening plans have to do with you?" He raised an eyebrow at him.

Jacob's nose was starting to bleed. "Well where would you even go, I know that your not going out of the camp right?" She smirked trying to get his siblings to agree with him. "Jeez Jacob why are you so uptight? Just leave them alone." The counselor said patting Theo on the back. "Just be back before the sun rises you two, also no sleeping in the same bed." He smirked as he watch P.J. turn crimson red.

Theo grinned wickedly.
"No problem. Bye Jacob!" Theo waved cheerily at Jacob.
"You ready to go?" He put an arm around P.J.

"Yeah, you?" She teased "Also you aren't easily scared are you?" Pearl knew it was a silly question but she still couldn't resist asking it.

"What would I be scared about?" Theo looked at her, confused. Taking her hand, he gave Jacob an sarcastic salute and opened the door for P.J.

((Outside of camp thread?))

((No sorry, gtg))

((K, bye))

((nvm, I just had to go for a walk))

Reclining on the roof of the Apollo cabin, I looked up and smiled. Honestly, having a curfew didn't make sense if it meant missing out on Artemis' handiwork. The moon itself, was a silvery orb that glowed gently, and the stars winked in silent accompaniment–like drops of sun-kissed ice.

The beatiful serenity of camp at night, brought an old lullaby to mind. My mom used to sing it to the twins when they were younger, and it was a perfect description of how Camp looked as of now.

I started singing softly.

Moonbeams and starlight, magical twilight
The warmest ray, hear it whispering your
Name
Rainbows at midnight, sparkling night skies,
Don't go away, stay another day

((Chris pov))

I smiled softly. "Wow, never ceases to amaze me." I whispered. "Now that, is how you make someone fall asleep."

I jolted to my feet and whirled around.

"Oh, Chris! It's just you. You scared the crap out of me."

I laughed softly. "Aw, just little 'ole me, huh?" I walked over and sat next to Jamie.

"You have such a beautiful voice. I'm completely jealous, you know."

I settled down next to my friend. "You're jealous of me?" I asked. "Sugar, you're confused. Your voice could put anyone to sleep."

"Yeah." I rubbed my tattoo uncomfortably. "That's only because of Somnus though. Remember? He enhanced my hypnotic powers when I joined the Legion. So no one would question my being his daughter."

"Aw, don't sell yourself short!" I said with a small smile. I nudged her arm gently. "I still think you have an amazing voice with or without your fake-dad's blessing."

My face turned serious "And hey, that's coming from an Apollo kid, so you best take that to heart."

I smiled and shook my head. "Wow Jamie. Just wow."

Sighing, I leaned back. "Hey, speaking of Apollo kids, what do you think of Austin?"

I raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging on my lips. "Oh, so we're talking about boys now?" I spun a bracelet on my arm, thinking of Alex.

"Austin's cool." I said after a moment. "He's really nice and funny, and I can tell he really cares a lot about his family." I smiled at the thought. "It's nice to be the younger sibling for once. I feel so... looked out for."

I chuckled. "I wish I could relate. Unfortunately, I'm always the big sis. No one is ever older than me." I paused for a moment and frowned. "Well, I guess Mr. D is kind of older to me, but he's more like an annoying uncle."

I snickered. "I can tell. I've only just met him and he won't stop calling you princess!"

I groaned and smacked a hand over my eyes. "I'm not a princess! Sure I'm descended from three different royal bloodlines, but that doesn't make me a spoiled palace brat!"

((Gtgt sleep))

"Oh come on." I said poking her arm. "I'm sure that's not what he means when he calls you that."

((Okay. Continue tomorrow?))

I pulled my hand away and scowled at her. "How would you know that? Besides, he hates king Midas, and I'm the gold-sucker's great-times-a thousand granddaughter! There's nothing about me for a god to like. I can barely turn things into gold."

((Yeah sure))

"You did not just say that." I said, partly joking, partly in disbelief. "I mean, look at you! A Grade A magician, the first descendant of the Red Pillar, Great-Granddaughter of the Stone Eagle! Come on Chris! And not to mention how sweet, and kind, and funny, and selfless, and brave you are!"

I elbowed her in the side. "And if that's not enough, just remember that for seven years now, Somnus let you go under his name. Willingly!"

I blushed and looked away, giving my eyes a slight roll. "I'm pretty sure Somnus just let me on because he wanted to build his name up a little. I mean, he knows who my real dad is; being his daughter, I was bound to be considerably powerful."

I sighed and tilted my head back, staring up at the sky. "Don't get me wrong, I'm really thankful for everything Somnus did for me. I just don't... I don't think he did it with my best intentions at heart. Or at least not in consideration of my "likeable" qualities."

I gave an endearing smile. "You underestimate yourself. It's a wonder how you do that at all, anyway." I put my hand gently on her shoulder.

"But... you should really know; there are people in your life that really admire you. Adore you, actually; look up to you. These people care about you, and will always be there no matter what life hurls your way."

I pulled my arm back and shrugged.

"I just thought you should know that because... well, you're looking pretty lost right now."

(( he called you preety!!! Lol))

((Huh?))
