Arden had been helping some of the younger teens subdue one of the campers - the golden eyes were a sure sign of something wrong so she was careful not to injure the camper until she knew for sure what was going on - when someone slammed into her, knocking her off her feet onto the grass. Grimacing, the Hunter scrambled to her feet to face the other, her daggers in hand and her bow slung across her back. âBe careful! You couldâve knocked me out!â
Sawyer relished in the fight, she ran into the fray with fists ready. It brought her some strange kind of joy, fighting monsters, knocking out her peers without reprimand. She saw a golden-eyed camper knock Arden to the ground and immediately rushed over. She jumped and threw a punch so hard it knocked the possessed camper unconscious. She turned toward the hunter. âYou good?â

Rhys had just come back from a morning of training body still sweaty from training in the arena. Saoirse was asleep on the bottom of his bed and he was moving around quietly, trying to avoid being loud so he wouldnât wake her up. Though Saoirse was just a small puppy, she had the energy of a full grown dog and often fell asleep for long amounts of time during the day when he wasnât around. Hearing the knock on the door he pulled it open, surprised to see his older sister standing in front of him since they didnât speak much. âOh hey Sawyer, whatâs up?âÂ
Sawyer decided not to waste time, she was rather blunt after all. âI like having siblings. Ares is my idol and weâre all part of him, and it sucks that I donât know you guys all that well. That and I wanted to meet your dog, I love dogs,â she nodded. âYou got any time to hang out? Maybe clean some weapons in the armory with me?â

Jack didnât leave camp much. Not because he didnât want to, but rather because he had to lay low for a while. So in order to get out of Cabin Five, more often than not he found himself cooped up in the armory. Heâd been in there for a few hours now, feet kicked up on a metal table, cigarette in his mouth, music blasting through an old stereo, all while he tinkered with a damaged rifle, cleaning and restoring the weapon to its former glory. At the sound of someone pushing through the door, Jack sat up, bringing his feet to the ground and tossing the rifle on the table. âHey,â his low, raspy voice cut through the music. âWhatâs up?â
Sawyerâs favourite places were the arena and the armory. Even though she favoured her spear, she found modern weapons way more practical. As soon as she stepped into the armory to see if they had anything new, she noticed her brother sitting there, she wasnât sure if he was trying to hide the fact that he was holding the gun a moment before. âHey. Bored,â she said in acknowledgement, then picked up a disassembled gun to put back together. âNeed a hand?â

Even though Sawyer had been at camp full-time for years, the one thing she regretted most was not being as close as she could be with her siblings. She idolized Ares, any child of his was someone she held the highest respect for. She was sitting in her room when she heard someone come in, and by the sound of which room they went into, she was pretty sure it was Rhys. She figured now was a good a time as any, plus she wanted to see this dog he got from Diala for christmas. âHey, Rhys, you in there?â

Arden nodded at the first question, but thought for a minute before she replied to the next. SheâŚhadnât ever thought about that, truthfully. âI donât think it wouldâve. I think I would have been more eager to join, if you want my honest answer. I would never have learned to defend myself as well without the Huntersâ and my ladyâs help. Though Iâm sure I wouldâve learned eventually if I had gone to this camp.â
Sawyer nodded, it was an answer she could understand. If there was anything she could emphasize with, it was loyalty. âThatâs cool, Iâm sure youâve learned a lot from them. So who was your godly parent after all?â Sawyer assumed it was someone with some sort of fighting skill, that would be useful.

springphee:
It had been a battle today for him to be roused from his bed. Phoenixâs pseudo siblings in the Hermes cabin had to spend more time trying to get him to move than they should have; he was inconsolable. âI wouldnât bother trying if I were you.â Heâd sensed someone approaching behind him. His phone had been switched off for days, as he couldnât bear to look at the comments.Â
Sawyer might have been around for years, but she wasnât very social. That was probably why she hardly knew anyone at camp, even now. She approached Phoenix when she saw how upset he looked, but stopped when he spoke. Instant regret washed over her, she was not the kind of person who did well with feelings. âDude, you look like a wreck. Whatâs up with you?â

ardenmacintyre:
Arden shrugged. âOnce you know how to deal with children, theyâre easy enough.â The question wasnât as intrusive as she expected. Sheâd gotten it many times before from campers, mainly other girls tentative about joining. âI was attacked for the first time by monsters. I didnât know what to do and wouldâve died had the Hunters not rescued me. Lady Artemis offered me the choice andâŚwell, it seemed a lot better than dying in another attack. Not that I knew I was a demigod at the time.â
Sawyer raised her brows, impressed that she could have made such a decision with such certainly. âYou found out after you became a hunter? Do you think knowing before wouldâve changed your mind?â That was the one thing that had always prevented her from finding out how to join, her loyalty to Ares. Not that she was ever asked to join, but a girl could dream of that kind of adventure now and then.

Ardenâs humor did return at the girlâs statement. An uncharacteristically sly smile crossed her face. âI like children, actually. My half-brother was a rowdy child and I often calmed him down, though I didnât know how at the time, so Iâve had a lot of practice.â
âYou got a gift then,â she said, clearly impressed. Sawyer did not have a reputation for being a patient person, even in the arena she had no patience for other people. âWhat made you join the hunters then?â

â You have no idea, â Charlotte wanted to retort, but then again, it wasnât like she knew anything about Sawyerâs life outside of camp either. Instead, she shrugged as well, forcing an uncomfortable smile. â Itâs a good thing we have camp year round, then. â Her eyes then widened at Sawyerâs comment. â Oh, I meant the non-alcoholic drinks, I donât drink either. â Well, besides that birthday party this summerâŚÂ â Sparkling lemon water does sound good, though. Have you tried the blackberry flavored one they served at lunch ? â
âYeah, it is,â Sawyer couldnât help glaring at Charlotte. At this point it was just force of habit. She was a bit surprised to hear the other didnât drink either, of all things to have in common that was a hell of one. âUm, no. Not yet anyways. Sounds good though. Fuck, never thought Iâd have something in common with you.â

Arden would have laughed at that if the other girl had not revealed her recognition of what she was. Her expression faltered. âWell, Iâm not the same person I once was. Like I said, it was a while ago.â She tried to remain pleasant as the subject changed to her major. âI was studying to become a teacher. Likely an English teacher, though I hadnât really decided yet. I didnât finish school, though.â
Sawyer nodded, she wouldnât have expected this kind of life to give all that much time for finish school and getting a real job. There might be a chance now, but she still wasnât sure. âThatâs cool, takes a lot of guts to be in charge of a bunch of kids who probably wonât listen. That would annoy the fuck out of me.â

A smile played on Ardenâs lips at her words. âYes, I think Iâve met some of them,â she told the other, thinking back on her hike with Keaghan. The question wasnât one she expected, and it took her a couple of moments to think on. It had been ages since sheâd had to use this blue dress; it wasnât like sheâd grown much since the last time sheâd worn it. âI believe it was when I was in college, actually. Though, I wasnât wearing anything as fancy as this. It was a moreâŚrevealing outfit.â
Sawyerâs eyebrows rose, and she had a smirk on her lips. âOh yeah? Canât say I was expecting that from a hunter,â she added with approval. âWhat did you study? I never even got to finish high school.â

Abigail nods in agreement. Everyone else is so excited for tomorrow, but for her? Abigail is used to celebrating the holiday on January the 6th with much less drama. âI am used to snow, and a different day. We celebrate what you English call Old Christmas.â She explains. Â
âWhere are you from anyways?â she asked, curious about where one celebrates Old Christmas. âIâm from Canada, weâre pretty big on all holidays there.â

She looks to the sky, the colours making her miss her home and her much simpler life. She missed her parents, and the horses in the stables. Everything had been so much easier till sheâd come here. She hadnât had this awful conflict inside of her head. Abigail bites her lip, then turns back to the other camper. âI think not, but when think positively, it may.â
âMaybe I can get some weather kid to do it,â she wondered aloud. She didnât have anything in way of bribes, but she could probably threaten people enough. âIâm from further north, it doesnât feel like Christmas without a little snow.â

Charlotte had attended the dance with a few friends, all of which sheâd unfortunately lost track of, whether from being asked to dance or simply getting lost in the darkened room. The daughter of Demeter hated being alone, truthfully, but being alone in a crowd felt even worse than an empty room. However, as she wished for someone to speak to, the last wish come true sheâd ever imagined was Sawyer Kent. Normally, she would have rolled her eyes and lectured her on the campâs mostly stable weather system, but it was Christmas. Instead, she only shrugged her bare shoulders.  â I wouldnât know, this is the first winter Iâve been at camp. ⌠Are the drinks good ? â
Sawyer held back the urge to groan when she saw who sheâd spoken to. She couldnât pinpoint the exact moment the two began disliking each other, it just seemed to have always been that way. âYeah, well some of us donât have any damn place to go now do we?â She rolled her eyes. Lifting her glass, she shrugged. âI donât drink, this is sparkling lemon water. I think itâs good, but Iâve got some pretty cheap tastes.â

Arden had been preparing to grab a bite to eat, have a look around the dance and go. She wasnât big on dressing up and dancing, but sheâd felt like it would be fun to at least put on the only dress she had with her and at least check out the festivities. This was the first year sheâd be missing Christmas with TJ and Hugh, and she wasnât sure how to feel about it. Having decided to stand alone, Arden was preoccupied with her own thoughts when the camper beside her spoke up. âSnow?â She glanced at the sky, pursing her lips. âIt might. Though I donât think the people with no sleeves would appreciate the colder weather.â
Sawyer nodded and shrugged. âIâm sure some campers can make it snow without being too cold.â She looked over at her partner in conversation and realized she was speaking to a hunter of Artemis. Part of her had always admired them, even wanted to be one of them for a while. âWhen was the last time you got this dressed up? I think itâs been years for me.â

Sawyer had walked in with Ruby, both dressed very glamorously for two daughters of Ares who never wore dresses or heels. They eventually got separated so she went to get a drink, giving herself a moment outside the crowd. She hardly ever used the makeup skills her mother taught her, the only thing she ever taught her, but she was actually pretty good at it and had done herself up to the nines tonight. Taking a sip of her drink, she spoke to a camper next to her. âThink itâll start snowing soon?â Â
