| -coryssa'cori'daniels- Camp, it smelt the same. Horrible and ugh. The scent soothed me, though. Just the comfort of knowing that I was home was enough, but the smell made me extra sure. I resided in the corner, by the window, in my extra-regular sized bed. It was covered in the best of the best, silk sheets. My pink blanket, fluffy and puffy, stretching over my whole bed (even covering my white pillows), had blue and white pokadots everywhere. I?
Where my pillows were, well, was where I was. I sat up-right on the pillows, looking into a mirror. The oak drawer besides my bed was neatly made, with my glass mirror and clock on top of it. Staring into my horible reflection, I did average teen stuff. My hair: Check. My face: Ugh. Yeah, yeah, I was one of those people. The ones 'oh-so-pretty' girls who hate their looks. My nose was too small, my lips seemed out of porprtion, and my eyes looked freaky. Why can't I look normal?
Sighing, I looked around my cabin. Nobody had talked to me today. That only made me feel worse. Was it because I was ugly? No, it was not. I was and still am hotter than everyone. A smile appeared, and I decided to talk to people. "Hello!" I shouted, looking for attention.

| Zin looked around the room. It was airy and light, the things she doesn't here but don't like either. From the basement, where it was more nice to her than anywhere else, she transfered here because it had been too cramped up back there.
A girl, smiling widely, shouted from the window across the room. Zin looked up, as if to say hello, nodded at her direction. She again looked down, eyes downcasted to the scars on her arms and went back to her silent state. | |

| Damion slowly walked into Hera's cabin. He was still uneasy about sleeping in the Marrige Goddess's cabin, figuring one of these days on the campers in it will be struck down by her. However, that wasn't the only thing that slowed him down. His injury from the last battle had not healed completly yet, so a spark of pain ran through his body with each step. As he approached his bunk, someone from across the room called out 'Hello.' Startled, he quickly turned, causing another spark of pain to run down his body. Stumbling backwards, he grabbed onto his bunk for support and slowly let himself down. Looking back at the girl who had called out, he manged a small wave hello. | |

| Zin looked at the where the noise was comming from. It was an injured camper. Sighing, she crossed the room and reached out into the air. At first, the air shimmered and then, a first aid kit appeared in her hand as she walked to the boy's bunk, kneeling by him. | |

| Damion waved off the camper coming to help him. "I... I'm al-right." he stuttered. He lifted his shirt to reveal that his lower torso was already bandaged up. This was his first day released from the infirmary, and he had no intention of going back.

| Zin sighed. " Was that from one of those battles?", she asked. His wounds were nothing compared to what happened to her but it was still a painful wound. | |

| Damion nodded in response. He knew it was a bad wound, but it was not as series as some of the injuries other campers had. Though, it was enough to take him out of the battle, at least physically. His ability still allowed him to help out, even if his body was out of commission, though most people did not know that. And of course, Damion would never tell them. He never liked to brag, and he never liked attention. He just hung back, away from everyone usually. Though he has lived at camp for many years, hardly anyone knows Damion. | |

| Zin poked his side lightly. Looking at her first aid kit, she opened it and produced a can of nectar and some bandages. She sat next to him, crossed legged and glanced at his reaction. "You alight there partner?", she chuckled, flipping her shoulder length hair out of her face. Her hair always got in her face. Ever since it grew again, she kept on trying to cut it but those Aphrodite kids keep irritating her and threatened to unleash a great fight if her hair got a mile radius of a scissor. | |

| Damion nodded his head again. "Ev...every th-ing is f...ine." Damion couldn't help stuttering. He had been like that since his dad's death. "I do...n't ne-ed any th-ing." Damion smiled inwardly; she was cute. He like the way she tossed her hair from her face. Realizing he was staring at her, he quickly shifted his gaze down to his feet. | |

| " Something wrong?", she asked, looking at him as he looked away. " Hey, if I'm being too clingy I could go and walk away.", and to prove her point, she stood up. She brushed her jeans and began to walk to her window again. 'Guess nobody wants me again', she thought. | |

| "N-no... your n-ot cli...cli...clingy." Damion stuttered. He abruptly stood up, something he regretted after the fact. He winced from the pain, but walked toward her. Now standing beside her, Damion nervously began twiddling with his fingers. | |

| Zin looked at him. He was surely nervous, but she didn't know why. She was, afterall, a girl who pretended to be a guy to join a war. All her female instincts got burid deep inside her and she doesn't know it still existed. She raised the corner if her lips to an uneven smile. "What's the matter? You seemed nervous and you keep on stuttering. You alright?", she asked, placing a hand on his forehead. She made him sat next to her and she began to look at his wounds and pouring some nectar in it. | |

| Damion let her pull him to sitting position next to her. "I-I'm al-right. I j-ust c-an't help stut...tering." Damion replied. Her hand was very warm against his cold brow; it made him feel good. Though, the nectar being poured on his wound did not feel good at all. It stung badly as it healed more of his wound. He managed to say "Th-ank You." | |

| Zin smiled now. It was her duty to help others. She was glad someone appreciated it. "So, you got to join in the war?I'm Zin by the way." she pulled out her hand for him to shake. | |

| "Y-eah I j...join-ed in the w-ar. Al-so nice to m-meet you Zin. My n-name is... Da-Damion." Damion grasped her hand and shook it. "A-are you h-h-healer? Be-ca...cause your r-really good." | |

| "Nice to meet you Damion. And no, I'm no healer. Living with an army just comes in handy at times like this." then she frowned. She remembered her brothers. Were they okay, she will never know. She was the only one stuck in that hotel. | |

| Damion rose an eye brow. "Li-ving... with an Ar-army?" He was confused. Camp Halfblood was by no means an army. Sure they were fighting monsters and stuff, but they weren't an army. He didn't push the question any further though; she seemed upset about something from her past. | |

| Zin smiled sadly. "Yeah. Been to one. The civil war specifically."she said with a sigh. "After my mom died, everyone went to battle and left. I went with them, and pretended to be a boy. Of coarse I nearly died doing that stupid stunt." she laughed a bit at her own stupidity and rubbed a scar on her arm. | |

| Now Damion was really confused. "H-how did you fi-ght in the ci...civil war? Th...that was a co...ple hu...hu...hun-dred years a-go." Damion gawked at her. 'How old is she?' Damion asked himself in his head. | |

| "I did go to war."she smiled as she took his facial expression. "Then, i got injured and the next thing I know, I was in this hotel. I stayed for a while then left. But the next thing I know, there was no war in sight." she smiled sadly. She didn't know why but she felt comfortable with him. The stuttering annoyed her, but she felt like she could be herself with him. "I might be boring you. Sorry." | |

| "H-hotel? D...Do you me-an... the Lo...Lotus Hotel? You...'ve been in th-th-there for that l...long!" Damion gasped. "N-no your not b...boring me." Damion frowned inwardly. 'Man, she is really cool, but she is way out of my league!' Damion sadly thought. | |

| "Thats what a satyr said." she smiled. "What do you keep in stuttering Damion? Are you cold or something?" she frowned. It wasn't cold to her but he still stuttered. | |

| Damion took a deep sigh, remembering when he used to not have his problem of stuttering. "I-I've had a st...st...stuttering prob-lem for... a l-long time. I do...don't like to t-talk about it." Damion looked down at his feet. | |

| "okay." Zin smiled. She never heard of stuttering problems. But maybe there ewas a reason why he does. She sighed and looked out her window again, deep in thought. | |

| Lisha swung open the doors, and stumbled into the Hera cabin. She could hear a few voices echo around the cabin. Why does everyone have to be so load? She sighed, and slumped on her bunk.
Lisha made an attempt to eavesdrop. She listened in on the conversation. Only two people. No, it was three. Who cares? she thought. She glared at their direction, trying to signal them to shut it, but glaring at them seemed kind of awkward through her unseeing eyes. | |
