sleeping is way better than training [private]

Amara didn't like doing favors for people. She learned why from her step-dad; if someone did something for you, then they could make you do something that was terrible to make up for it. Even though this obviously wasn't the case, she still hates favors. Chiron had asked her as a favor to wake up some boy in the Hera cabin. He was apparently late for training. She didn't blame him, she didn't like training either.

It was freezing outside when she walked to the Hera cabin. Her leather jacket didn't provide much warmth over her grey cotton t-shirt. Her high heeled boots didn't help either, so the only thing helping her keep warm was her jeans. Amara rarely went to the Hera cabin so campers looked at her weirdly as she made her way. When she finally reached the door, she knocked on the door. A camper that looked barely a quarter of her height answered the door with a frightened look on her face. "Hi, I'm Amara. I'm looking for..." She racked her brain for his name. "Dimitri Duchamps?" She questioned, not sure if it was entirely right or wrong. The camper nodded before leading her over to his bunk.

When the small girl led her over, she left Amara there with the sleeping boy. She wasn't entirely sure of what to do, she'd never been in this situation before. She didn't want to be mean because she wouldn't have liked it if someone woke her up rudely. She settled with trying to shake him awake. "You have to get up." Amara said softly while trying to shake him away gently.

Amara watched as a small pig moved around the bed, but the boy didn't. He had said five more minutes even though she knew not to believe him. Five minutes turned into ten minutes which turned into fifteen which turned into an hour and then he would never get up. She knew because she had done it before herself. All well, I tried, She told herself. Just as she was about to walk away, he sat up in bed. She took a few steps back, almost running into the next row of bunks. "I-I'm Amara." She said stumbling over her words a bit. She had never been in this situation before and had no idea what to do. It didn't help that he had his shirt off and that there was an adorable pig on his bed.

Amara hadn't bothered telling him who her father was. It usually scared people away that she was a daughter of Hades. She could become friends with him, and she didn't want to ruin it by telling him who her dad was. She sighed before running her hand through her blonde hair. "Chiron told me to come and wake you up. You're late for training." She said and added a bright, white smile. She sat down on the empty bunk next to his before adding, "You don't have to get up. I can just tell him I never found you. I've skipped training so many times, I've lost count." She smiled at the thought of it because it was true. Just like him, she had slept through dozens of training sessions. It wasn't her favorite and she rarely went off campus anyway. She had powers to help her if she really needed them. She paused before asking, "Who's your god parent anyway of you have to go to training so bad?"

Amara could tell Dimitri was pissed off at her, but she couldn't do much about it. She had orders from Chiron to wake him up, and she did. He shouldn't have skipped so many training sessions, and Chiron would've been okay with it. She watched as he walked away to the bathroom. She huffed and got up to go back to whatever she was doing before he came back out again. She could tell he was only trying to be nice, but she wasn't stupid. She wanted to be rude to him, but she decided to hold back and wait. She watched as he sighed and put his shoes on. "Look, you don't have to be rude. I only did what I was told." She crossed her arms over her chest to show that she was clearly upset. She really wasn't in the mood for his attitude right now. When he said who his god parent was, a small laugh escaped her lips. "Hypnos? He's a minor god. You could skip trainging for a year, and you'd be okay." She said matter-of-factly.

Amara didn't know what to do when he apologized. She hadn't expected him to because most people probably wouldn't have. Hell, she probably wouldn't have. She just gave a small nod and avoided his gaze as he got ready. There wasn't much to say to someone who just woke up. She decided to just stand there on the side as he got dressed, and followed him out of the cabin door. She immediately felt bad at what she said about his dad, but she wasn't going to apologize. She had just replied to his rude comment with one of her own. She did attempt to make him feel better about it though. "Your cabin is way better than mine. Yours seems more like a home. Mine is just... lonely." She said as she went outside. The thought of home filled her with sadness. She wished she could go back home to her mom and twin brother. She rarely saw them because she didn't want to risk putting them in danger. Her history before camp wasn't as bad as other big threes, and she intended to keep it that way.

"Hades." Amara said through gritted teeth. She, like any other child of a big three, didn't like talking about her father. People expected her to do things that she simply didn't want to do. A quick idea ran into her mind before she put out her hand, stopping Dimitri from walking closer to the arena. "Let's go do something else. Do you like breaking the rules?" She asked with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Unless you actually want to go to training." Amara said with a shrug.

Amara nodded her head at what he said about his cabin. She would love to switch cabins, even for a day. She loved the noise compared to the quiet, soundless rooms of the Hades cabin. She was used to loud and rambunctious because of her own family. That's why she always spent her time outside of the cabin and outdoors. The only time she was in her cabin was to sleep and use the bathroom. That was about it. There was no other reason to be in her cabin with only two other people there. She shrugged when he said being a daughter of Hades was badass. "I suppose, but I'd rather have powers that help me sleep." She replied with a smirk.

Amara let out a laugh at what Dimitri said. She saw the reaction on his face which immediately made her smile. "We can find something to do off campus relatively quick." She said with the smile still on her face. She looked at him up and down before saying, "As much as I love sweatpants considering I practically live in them, I think you might want to change. We might possible go to a club later." She added with a small wink. Amara knew all the clubs in a two mile radius. It was something she did most of time with another demigod or just by herself on the weekend. But she thought, why not make his day better by possibly getting drunk and regretting everything the next morning?

Amara listened to what he said about his powers. She knew exactly what he meant. She had no idea what to do with her powers when she first realized she had them. Camp helped her keep them under control most of the time at least. She still wasn't used to being able to shadow travel and things like that. She didn't practice with them often enough so that she could actually use it in battle or fights. She simply didn't feel like it and it took too much energy out of her. She didn't like bleeding in her clothes frankly. It was heard to get money legally without actually leaving camp. The camp clothes however did not fit her style and practically no one went to the camp store.

Amara couldn't help but let a small laugh escape her lips as she followed while he ran to go change. She stood outside as she waited so she wouldn't get lost in the Hera cabin again. When Dimitri came back out, she smiled brightly. "Much better." She grabbed his arm and started pulling him toward the camp parking lot. "You got a car? If not, I can figure something else out." She said with a mischievous grin. She knew he probably didn't have a car, it was rare a demigod did. She looked around to find a somewhat new jeep near by. "Is this a good enough car to cruise around in?" She inquired as she looked around for a better and more expensive car for them to drive around in.
