come together [moon]

The infirmary wouldn't have been Kylee's first choice of protection in a battle, especially against the undead, but it was the closest thing at the time; when night fell. The memory would be forever burned into the demigod's mind, the moans of the deceased and the steady crunching of ground before they attacked. She hadn't slept since the first night, thinking that memory would come back to haunt her in her dreams, as well as when she was awake. So far, that was proving correct.

She hadn't spoken to Aiden much in the time that they spent hiding away in the building, but then again, no one seemed to keen on speaking at all. Kylee figured the stress of almost dying a few times had gotten to them, and they were simply shutting down their emotions. That was probably the best way to cope with the situation, but it was also a very boring way to deal with it. What's life if you aren't feeling it? Even though this was a worst case scenario, Kylee liked the opportunity to get a little blood on her blade, which was something she hadn't done in a while.

Hearing a familiar outburst from the other side of the infirmary, the demigod stood and walked over to Aiden, figuring he was stressing out more than usual. In all honesty she didn't know if he was one of the summoners, considering he most likely could've been. "You might want to get ready, the sun's going down," she said softly, tightening the straps on her armor.

There was an odd sparkle in the daughter of Poseidon's eyes, maybe it was bloodlust or just a spurt of energy. Kylee could always feel when it was happening, nightfall that is, because she had an unpleasant feeling in her stomach. The demigod guessed it was the presence of the zombies, but it was always transferred into a rage or desire for more of the sticky black blood.

She felt somewhat ignored by the son of Hades as he simply shut his eyes. Spinning on her heel, she continued readying for battle. Strapping throwing knives, Greek fire grenades, and more assorted weapons to her her belt, she heard the first wave of moans. The hair on the back of her neck stood up straight as a chill seemed to wipe through the infirmary. "Ready your weapons!" Kylee called, nodding off to the older campers.

Feeling the need to defend Aiden, she walked off to the Apollo kid, staring him right in the face. "I think you have a job up on the roof, unless you can get rid of these blasted zombies another way," she ordered, spitting down at the boy's shoes. Receiving a nasty look, the demigod watch the Apollo boy climb up to help his siblings. Running a hand through her thick black hair, she exhaled.

"We could use your blade too," she said softly, placing a hand on Aiden's shoulder, trying to be comforting. Kylee knew there was no way she could make up for all the glares and accusations he got in the daytime, but she could try.

Kylee gave Aiden a small smile before nodding. She didn't know if her efforts had helped much, but he seemed open to the suggestion of assisting. Touching the spot where he kissed her cheek, the demigod's face flushed a deep red before accompanying him up to the roof.

The chaos was just beginning, as several campers stood still, obviously dazed and unaware of what to do. Before a command could escape her mouth, Aiden was already going at it. Kylee didn't bother pointing out the fact that his plan was flawed, considering the regular campers couldn't see very well in the dark until their eyes adjusted to the lack of lighting. "Aiden I don't think -" she began, before another camper decided to test him.

Smirking at the son of Hades, Kylee reached for her belt."Hold you fire!" she yelled, waiting until the sound of bowstrings stopped. Pulling out one of the cabin nine made grenades, she tossed it down at some of the advancing zombies. The throw ending about twenty yards from the building, leaving bits of zombies where it was. The flash allowed for a few seconds of light, followed by burning embers.

Sprinting down the ways, she came back up with a box of the grenades. "If you throw one it'll have enough light for at least half an hour, and destroy at least ten of them," Kylee suggested, passing the box around. Flicking her hair to the side, the demigod threw another burst of light at the advancing undead.

"See? It could work," she offered. Kylee was also tempted to start using her water control, but she figured that the Greek fire would work just fine for now. Not to mention it was kind of entertaining to watch the zombies blow up just like that, with a flash of light and a boom. Now that was a way to go out, in an explosion.

"That'll hold us for a while."

Kylee watched as the grenades lit up the area around the infirmary, killing zombies as they went. Sure the explosions were loud and could be deadly if thrown wrong, but it was working for now. The demigod figured they would need more of them in the morning. "For now," she said solemnly, throwing a knife at the crowd of reanimated corpses.

She had to keep walking back and forth on the rooftop to make sure that they weren't wasting their light when they didn't have to. It was tempting to just blow all of them up, but even Kylee knew that wasn't a smart idea. She barely heard Aiden over the sound of another grenade going off, but her blue eyes instantly widened. "No," she ordered, throwing another knife into a zombie's skull out of a rage.

It wasn't just the idea of Aiden dying, or maybe it was, but also the pride that she had actually thought of something helpful and it was working. That kind of thing didn't happen very often for her, and now that it did, she wasn't going to stop it. "I mean, we're doing fine..." she began, until an idea popped into her head. "Unless you can make a hole around the whole building, in a circle?" she asked softly, hoping he couldn't hear her.

She knew that would knock him out, but if she went with and guarded him while he did it, the thought seemed less suicidal. The Apollo kids could handle it for a while, and then the hole could work it's magic. Then again it could go drastically wrong, and Kylee could almost fall in like last time she saw him open up the Underworld. Either way, it seemed worth the risk.
