forty-nine hours later~ [ P r I v A t E -- Brenners ]

Groggily, Kacey sat up in her bed, her head thunking against the top bunk hard. "Oh, damn," she muttered, her brows knitting together as she rubbed her head. She blinked a few times, the sleep going from her eyes and looked around her dark cabin. Everyone in there was asleep; though she didn't have many brothers or sisters considering Hecate wasn't a social woman. She swung her legs over the side of her bed, her dark hair flopping into her face. She blew it aside, a different scent wafting into her nostrils. It wasn't her usually dark, scent. It was a rich, underground type of smell that only the smell of a child of Hades would have. That's when it all came rushing back to her; the fight with the Minotaur, David. David. She thought again, sniffing at her shirt. It had his cologne and his aura on it. As a daughter of Hecate, she could see magical auras from demigods.

It was nice smell and she smiled a little bit at the thought of him. Kacey glanced over at her clock, rubbing the sleep completely from her eyes. It was 5:48 AM exactly. 'What the hell...' she thought, sliding out her iPhone and checking the date. "Holy Hecate..." she muttered, staring at the date. It was June 8th. She'd been asleep for two days. Kacey's eyes widened a little bit. She slid out of her bed, completely, tip-toeing over to her dresser and sliding off the clothes she'd had on for three days. She slipped on some new, running clothes and snatched her headphones off her dresser, quickly plugging them into her phone. She slipped into her Nikes and softly padded out the Hecate cabin door, assaulted by the morning sun. It was already hot; and clear that it was going to be sweltering outside today. Kacey slowly walked to the Arena for some running, picking a good playlist to run to.

Once inside the Arena, she realized the lights weren't even on yet. She leaned over flicked the switch on and the Arena lit up, the track looking lovely in the morning sunlight from the windows on the ceiling. Kacey slid her Beats on her ears and began her three mile jog.

Kacey had only been jogging for ten minutes but was already sweating buckets in the humidity of the arena. Her music was pounding away from the Dr. Dre headphones and she was glad for it. She just needed to forget what happened the other night and focus on running. She loved running; it just helped her think and it helped her feel better. Plus, she loved the way it made her feel. Her feet pounded the ground beneath her, her calves burning with strength. For a moment, she thought about walking to take a breather but her favorite song came on to help her run. 'The Motto'. Yeah, Kacey liked rap.

"Yeah, I'm the man, you don't get it do ya?" she muttered, rapping the lyrics perfectly.

She was halfway through the song when she felt a hand on her sweaty arm, she abruptly stopped and was turned around as she cried, "Oh, god, don't touch me, I'm sweaty!" When her gaze locked with the guy's, she realized that it was David. Her heart skipped a beat excitedly. "Oh, David, hi." She said, brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes. She blushed slightly, although he probably couldn't tell since she was sweating horribly. "I didn't even hear you," she admitted, holding up her Beats, which was blaring Rack City, one of her other songs on her playlist.

She hit pause on her phone and glanced up at David, clicking the lock button on her phone. "What's up?"
