Wondering about Things [OPEN: 2 PEOPLE MAXIMUM]

I shook my head and my eyes darkened a little, but my shoulders straightened as I gave off a look of the utmost confidence. "I didn't lose her; if I had, I could say without hesitation that she's dead. But I know she isn't... I don't know how I know, but I've always been close to her, so that's reason enough for me. I haven't lost her. We've been separated." I said without a waver in my voice or expression.

I nodded. I guess she was right. There was a chance she could be alive. And if I were her, I'd believe she was alive too. Of course, I wasn't her. "Oh," was all I said.

~~~~~

Now me and my PILE of things...
That she THREW out the window...
DROWNING next to me...
No seven years of GOOD can't hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring...

So let it RAIN, let it POUR, she don’t LOVE me anymore...
Just let it come DOWN on me, let it come DOWN on me...
Every WORD, let it HURT, even MORE than I deserve...
Let it come DOWN on me, let it come DOWN on me, let it RAIN."

I raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like you don't believe it completely." I said with a frown. I sighed and shook my head, looking back at the Creek. "I guess you're not the first... Sounds crazy, I know. But it's the best I can do in a situation like this; I can only hope." I mumbled.

I shook my head softly. "It's not that I don't believe ya'. I just... don't understand ya'. I never had a momma, so I wouldn't reckon I would," I say. I take a deep breath. this is teh most I'd talked in a while.

I blinked and looked at him curiously. "I hope you don't mind me asking... But what ever happened for you to not know your mom?" I then added quickly, "You really don't have to respond if it's an uncomfortable subject for you."

I shrugged while shaking my head softly again. "Nah. Don't bother me none. Never knew her cause she died before I could. Simple as that," I say. I look out at the water, and wonder briefly. What did she look like? Did she she love, even when I was really to young to tell?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure she was a good woman though." I said slowly, trying for a small smile. I didn't know what to think, honestly. I had only recently known what it was like to not have a mom, but I had no clue what it was like to never know your real mom.

"It's alright," I said. "Ain't your fault." Although, I'd love to know whose faul it was. What happened to my mother? Was she a druggie? Did she get murdered? What kind of horrible way did she die?

I laughed a little. "Why would it be my fault? I was probably just a baby or not even born around that time. Which brings me to my next question; how old are you? I just know you look about my insertcomma maybe older. I'm sixteen." I insertcomma looking at him curiously. Once again I was drawn to his eyes. I had to admit that they were definitely captivating.

"Eighteen. Just turned eighteen a few days ago," I said. I looked at her green eyes. They were dark, kind of like the wet grass after a hard rain at the ranch. I sighed. Everything reminded me of the ranch.

My eyes widened in surprise before I grinned. "Well then, I suppose I should say happy belated birthday. I would have gotten you something, but it was a little late notice." I said with a small giggle. "Who knows, though; I just might think up something." I added with a small shrug.

I smiled, and it light up my features again. "Much obliged," I said. Again, I hoped Tara would think of something to say. I didn't like talking so much, it felt unatural.

"So where are you from? I'm one of those city girls, I guess, though mainly because my mom was the daughter of some wealthy military guy. Is it wierd that I miss Orlando? I mean, it was pretty much my home, but this is my home too." I said. As I spoke, I started to feel less tense around him, which was a pretty nice feeling. At least now I didn't want to pick a fight with the guy. Actually, I was far from that feeling by now.

I shrugged. "I'm from all over. I traveled 'round the country. My pop was a bull rider. Man, did he get a kick outta' that," I said. I smiled, remembering how he would win, and then go crazy with happiness. But then those days he lost were terrible.

"By your dad, do you mean Ares?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. She couldn't imagine the god of war as her dad. Actually, it was enough that she came from a military family. That was as far as she intended for the war heritage to go. Of course, he talked as if he'd known Ares quite a bit. Was that normal, and did that mean she was abnormal given that she rarely ever saw or spoke to her dad?

At least 4 sentances with every post please ^^ its the rules

(OOC: Oh, lolz, sorry! I fixed it in the above post. Thank you for pointing that out~! I normally post more than that... ^^')

I chuckled softly. "Naw, not Ares. My adoptive Daddy, he was a bull rider. Well, I'm bettin' he still is," I say.

"Oh! Well, that would make more sense. I honestly can't imagine Ares riding - much less falling off of - a bull." I said with a small laugh. I tried to picture the big brute of a god riding a bull half his size. I was sure that if he ever tried, the bull would be more scared of Ares that he of the bull. Actually, I wasn't even sure Ares was capable of feeling fear. He was the god of war, after all.

I chuckled softly. "Yeah, 'spose so. I ain't never met Ares, and I ain't sure I'd like to. He don't seem to kindly towards people," I said.

"Well, he is the god of war. I don't think he's supposed to be very kind in any situation." I said with a laugh. "My dad is pretty perky. Always attempting to do poetry, though it isn't exactly as great as everyone thinks it is. I'm not sure why they relate him to stuff like music and poetry." I added, making a face. Suddenly the light intensified and briefly burned my skin. I winced and glared up at the sky. "Yeesh, okay, sorry. Talk about sensitive." I mumbled.

I chuckled again, and looked up at the sky. "Well I'll be darned. I guess god parents actually liststen to ya. Well, 'less it's somethin' bad ya' say," I said. I laughed a bit at the thought of Ares coming down on me with a wrath of... what? A sword fall from the sky? I didn't know.

"Yeah, from my experience, they tend to listen in on their kids quite a lot to see how they're doing. He knows I'm one of his few children that actually burn under the sunlight instead of tan." I mumbled, shooting another look at the sun, though not directly. I raised both eyebrows, daring him to try something else. He didn't. I sighed and looked down, smiling and shaking my head. "Sometimes their watching all of their demigod children can be both helpful and harmful." I didn't add the word annoying. I looked down at the red scorch on my arm, which had gotten the greatest amount of light exposure. I didn't exactly need another burning part of my body from good ol' dad.

My eyes widened just a bit. They really tracked you? it reminded me of how I had to let the cattle graze on the ranch, and I had to track them from a good distance so I didn't start a stampede. I suppose thinking that was getting off track of the thing I was thinking of earlier. But, all of my thoughts lead to the ranch, somehow.

"That's down right strange," I muttered to myself. "They watch ya'. Hm."
