How Will This Turn Out? I wonder...

"Parrie." I commanded faking a stab and going for a swipe.

"Mom...I'm trying!" Will complained. His mom was pushy. And pushed him to be the best he could. All the time. It got annoying. Will was doing the best he could. His mother's favorite thing to say was, 'Your body has limits. You can only do so much, it's up to you to push those limits.'

"Jeez. Sis take it easy." I laughed watching sweat drip down the back of Roxanne's neck.

I walked into the Arena seeing Roxanne possibly training a teenage boy. Not so much younger than me. Probably just a couple years younger. With them, a preteen. I walked up to the group curious about the commotion, "Whoa, what's going on here?" I say with my hands crossed across my chest.

"Hey Landon. Training my son."

"Wishing I were dead."

"I can help ya out with that one buddy."

Guest

I stare at the teenager wide-eyed, "Wow, this is Will?" I walk up to him and held out my hand, "Last time I saw you, you were merely an infant."

"Yep. It's me." Will said shaking his hand with an iron grip and giving him a classic Will look, slightly tilted head and a sparkle in the eyes. Lots of people always said Roxanne and Will looked so much alike that Will could be her twin. But no, Will had pointyish ears and arched eyebrows like a Hermes child.

"So whatcha doing here?" I asked frantically scooping up my water bottle and squirting it on my face to conceal the sweat for water maybe.

I sat patientally waiting my turn with my Stgyian Iron sword to fight Roxanne. We both were just as good as each other.

Guest

Will shook my hand with a steel grip. To be honest, it startled me a little bit. I turn back to Roxanne soaking her face with water, "I actually came to see you, I heard you were here."

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:17 pm

"Oh?" I said with a smile.

"Oh gods. Come on Will. Let's get outta here." I smiled at Roxanne in the brotherly way.

"But-" Will saw the look Jared gave Roxanne, "Ohhh...ok! I'll race ya!" He called running out.

"No fair you have longer legs." I said melting into the shadows.

Guest

I laugh at the two boys racing out of the Arena. I look back at Roxanna and walk closer to here, "Did you want to hang out today?"

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:23 pm

"Yeah you wanna catch a movie?" I asked. In my mind through our weird brother-sister connection I told Jared what I was up to. We had been born with the power to read each other's thoughts.

~I gotta go.

Guest

"Sure," I say shrugging my shoulders. When was the last time I went to the movies?

~Ok. Ta-ta.

"Umm...Landon? I gotta tell you something. About Rita." I said. I started walking to the door of the Arena motioning for him to follow.

Guest

I follow Roxanne. Rita? I furrow my brow in confusion. "What about her?"

"Well I have tabs on camp," When I said the word tabs, I meant spies. "She's a camp. Bottom line. She's at camp. With Charlie." I breathed.

~Must eat now.

Guest

~Don't keep the food waiting.

I replay her words in my head several times and I had nothing to say. An empty expression plastered on my face. Suddenly, the room started spinning and I couldn't think straight.

"Hey are you ok? If your gonna hurl, do it over there, since these are new." I said pointing the new white converse on my feet.

Guest

"No, no, no. I'm fine," I reassure feeling slightly embarrassed. Then a sly grin came to my face, "Wait, you're joking aren't you?"

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:41 pm

"No. I'm serious. I have my tabs on this place." I said with a serious expression written on my friend. "And by tabs I mean Jared."

Guest

I squint my eyes, "Well, what could she be doing here? How could she have known about this place?" I place my palm on my forehead.

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:47 pm

"Daughter of Aphrodite." I snorted. "Real nice."

Guest

"You mean, I dated a Daughter of Aphrodite?" I say pointing at myself. I started feeling a little proud. "How long has she been here?"

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:53 pm

"Just got here." I said.

Guest

"Does she know I'm here?" I ask myself. There were so many questions I wanted to ask, wanting to blurt out. But I didn't want to overwhelm Roxanne. But the one question that seemed the most important to me... "How's Charlie doing?" I ask myself once more. I started picking some rubber off of my black converse.

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 9:00 pm

"He's fine. Big. Grew alot. Did you know he looks alot like you?" I asked ruffling his hair.

Guest

I smile at the thought of Charlie looking like me. "Yeah, I know." An wonderful but stupid idea came to my head. I look up at Roxanne, "You can meet him if you want to. If we can find Rita, that is."

Subject: Re: How Will This Turn Out? I wonder... Thu Aug 12, 2010 9:08 pm

"I know where to find her." I said happily.
