people fall in love in mysterious ways --- [pink]

Emily could have said her life had changed on New Years' Eve a year ago. Before that she had rarely did anything, going off campus every once in awhile. She had learned to be independent and to certainly never trust anyone no matter what. Your friend could end up turning into a Kronos camper or just a monster. But on that fateful night everything seemed to change. She met Tobias Kelly and he had left a feeling inside her, something she had never felt before. She hadn't known what it was at the time until a month or two later. She loved him. It had taken her a while to finally admit that she loved him and even longer until they actually said it to each other.

Worried thought ran through her head about tonight. Emily didn't want to mess things up. It had taken them awhile to get to where they currently were, and she didn't want to mess things up all of a sudden. She didn't know what they were doing exactly. All she knew about their date was it was casual and that was it. She was worried about the date not that she didn't trust him of course. Just worried about how it was going to go. She cleared her head while she showered. She got dressed in a grey sweatshirt, a black pair of jeans, and some boots. She left her hair the way it was not bothering to do much with it.

Emily was about to go leave her cabin to look for Tobias when her younger half-sister popped into her room. "Can you read me a story?" The younger girl asked with a book in her hands. Emily smiled before saying, "Sure." Her half-sister ran over to her bed and handed her the book with a smile lighting up her face. Towards the end of the book, there was a knock at the door. Her half-sister jumped up from the bed before yelling on her way to the door, "I'll get it!" A few moments later she reappeared. "There's a boy here for you."She scrunched up her nose before grabbing Emily's hand and pulling her towards the door. "Did you know boys have cooties?" Emily smiled at Tobias before ruffling the small girl's hair. "Thanks Skylar. I'll read you another book when I get back." Skylar nodded her head before skipping off to her own room. Emily closed the cabin door behind her before looking up at Tobias. "So uh ready to go?"

Emily had never been to a drive in movie, and she was pretty excited about it. She had never seen the movie Jaws before. They didn't have movies like that in England, and she rarely saw movies anyway. It didn't help that she was nervous about monsters. Being a daughter of Zeus only seemed to attract more monsters, and she didn't want to put Tobias in danger. She had her weapon with her of course, but different scenarios seemed to appear in her mind. They could get ambushed, Kronos campers could come, there was nothing she could do to distract herself from them. She tried to relax herself, but it didn't seem to be working.

Emily loved her younger siblings so when her half-sister asked her to read her a story, she replied yes. It was what she had to do as a cabin leader and just a sister. The girl couldn't have been younger then seven. She had only arrived at camp a few weeks ago and Emily had done the best she could to take are of her. It wasn't that hard considering she had a younger sister back in England. There was only one difference: this younger half-sister seemed to like her. As the younger girl skipped to her room, Emily made sure she got back to her own room with no problem before looking back at him.

Emily smiled at Tobias as he took her hand. It felt natural to have her small hand in his now. When the two walked outside, she glanced up at the sky to see it was already getting dark. It was starting to get darker earlier now because of the cold. The cold didn't seem to bother her, if anything she loved the cold that welcomed her now. It gave her a numbness that she loved. Emily smiled. "No, actually I've never seen Jaws before." She said her accent a bit thicker than usual. When they arrived at the grey truck, he glanced at her. "Do you know how to drive?" She asked. She had her learner's permit. She was supposed to have an adult in the car, but it didn't matter anyway.

Emily had heard little about the movie other then reviews here and there. It was supposed to be an okay movie, but that didn't matter. She was still pretty excited about the movie and to be with Tobias. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to pay attention because of her ADHD and she'd be looking around for monsters. It was something almost all demigods did to see if there were monsters in the area. It didn't help that the monster that had killed Kalina could still be out there. She might've had a few years of training, but that wouldn't help if she didn't know what the monster was. The only thing that seemed to calm her down was that she had been training the rest of the week. She should be fine. Should.

It was chilly outside compared to the warmth of the Zeus cabin. Her sweatshirt was warm enough for her though, and she was fine with the cold anyway. Emily was used to the cold by now, she never wore much of a coat even when she had been younger. Not having enough money to buy a coat when she was younger, she learned to start to love the cold. She still loved it even now when she had more than enough money to buy a proper coat. When they arrived at the truck, it was already running and she slipped into the passenger's side. "I figured." She said with smile that lit up her face. She remembered being younger and always being around the children of Hermes. She would always help out with numerous pranks on the Aphrodite children. She had enjoyed playing pranks on them at the time, but now she felt bad. She wasn't sure if the children of Aphrodite remembered her throwing stink bombs into their cabin, but she tried to be as nice as she could. They were annoying, dumb and vain, but she couldn't do much about it.

As they pulled out of the camp parking lot, Emily stared out the passenger window looking as the sun set. It was a beautiful sunset, something she had painted numerous times. She glanced over at Tobias. "Oh yeah."  She said breaking from her thoughts. "I just don't want to be late." She added a bit more excitedly than she probably should have.
