Brooklyn O'Harris Firebird {Open If you Ask}

Koala has first post :S

Brook rolled over onto her back and let her head hang over the railing. The cabin was beautiful! Full of cute tan guys... The problem was that she was the youngest there! Anyways, back to the question. "Who's my daddy?" Brook asked, knowing it wouldn't be a very serious question. Who was her dad? She has never seen him in her whole (second) life!

OOC: May I bring Chris Talbot into this?

"Umm.." I coughed uncomfortably.. "You'll meet him soon.. I promise." I shrugged trying to relieve my shoulders of their invisible weight. "Anything else you need?"

Sure

Drenched in sweat after a mixed archery, swordsmanship and general workout session, Chris Talbot sauntered into the Apollo cabin, downing the contents of his water bottle as he sat down heavily on his bunk.
"Aw, yeah. That was intense," he said to himself, grabbing a towel to wipe the sweat off. Scanning the room, he saw one person that he recognized immediately--Katie Firebird. Last he'd heard, she was pregnant. Beside her stood a much younger, blond girl.
"Katie," he said. "What's up? Who's..." His voice trailed off as he registered the physical similarities between the girl and Katie.
"No way, Katie. This...this your daughter?"

"Mmhmm, yep quest success, then I get the surprise of my life," I motioned towards my daughter. "You can thank Dad, I guess he still has one of them."

Chris whistled. "Dad even facilitated accelerated aging. Guess...guess it's all gonna be fine, eh?" He remembered the last time he had spoken to Katie--they had exchanged some heated, though not hostile, words about the merits of her getting pregnant at a time like this.
"What's her name?"

"Brooklyn O'harris Firebird" I said proudly. "After my grandmother" I brushed a string of hair from her eye "She's just the sweetest thing"

Brook blushed when Katie said her middle name. She hated her middle name, and she wasn't even one day into Camp! "Well, I burned down Apollo's throne if that changes anything," Brook smirked, elegantly jumping down from the top bunk. She was tempted to 'Change' her middle name to Nicole. Nicole suited her much more. Brooklyn Nicole Firebird. O'Harris sounded too... Irishy. She had absolutely no Irish blood in her, so why was her middle name 'O'Harris?' It just didn't make any sense.

This guy... Chris? Brook had heard her mother talking about him a while ago sometime. "Just call me Brook, please. Dakoda's up with Apollo because he liked her more," Brook scowled, looking away as she said her sister's name.

"Brook. Nice to meet ya." Chris knelt down and gave the young girl a friendly pat on the shoulder. He looked back up at Katie. "So, what now? You planning to teach some archery?"

Was she really that short? She couldn't be! But if you compate a 17 year old to a 10 year old, it's a huge height difference. "Archery? What in Tartarus is that?" Brook asked, knowing that phrase from when Apollo used to say it. Apollo's palace was just like any other college teen's dorm. Awesome, yet messy. He held tons of parties, many of which tore down the whole palace.

"Well, you've seen a bow, right?" Chris took his from out under his bunk. "Archery is just using it. Pegging targets with arrows. It's how Apollo kids fight."
OOC: That's funny cause Chris isn't that tall, at 5'11". He's level with Katie.

OOC: Oh... Well Brook is like, 4'2".

Brook was exasperated. Her mother didn't tell her how to fight? If she was going to be a demigod, then she must know how to battle! "That's cool, doesn't it hurt your fingers at all?" Brook asked, knowing that Apollo uses this hook to grab onto the string from time to time. She still couldn't shake that sickening sound of an arrow piercing a target bag out of her heade.

"It does...but your fingers get callused and you get used to it," Chris explained. "With practice. Our arena has an entire target range, just for practice. You seen it yet?"

Brook could easily "predict" the future. If she said yes, then he wouldn't take her to see it. If she said no, then he would! "No, not yet," Brook explained, scratching under her eye a bit. The air in the cabin smelled so good! Everybody here smelled like sunscreen! She couldn't wait for the days to come. Just hours of laying on the beach and learning math from Liliana.

"And you won't either." I said firmly. "You are not learning to fight until you're 12. If you do there will be SEVERE punishments. Am I understood young lady?" I asked my daughter dully capable of following through on my threat, even youth I didn't know exactlyw what I was threatening.

Chris grimaced. "Excuse my brutally pragmatic opinion again, Katie, but you may not have a choice in that matter. The war is picking up, and if things go south, your daughter may find herself thrust into a dangerous situation sooner than any of us would like. They do archery at summer camps--it's just hitting bullseyes, and not nearly as threatening as swordplay, for example. But it's gonna be necessary."

Brook winced a bit and her face turned red. She had no choice. Her mother was gonna cut her head off if she fought! "Understood. Can I at least poke things with sticks?" she asked, twisting her face up a bit.

Cut off her head o.o?

"Absolutely not." I replied, then turning to Chris "Don't you dare encourage her. If it goes to Hades dad will pick them up, until then nothing to do with weaponry until she's 12. That's final."

(( poor little girls... some campers start training at 7 or 8. ))

Yea but I'm playing the over protective mother xD not to say she can't be a medic..

"She's your daughter." Chris backed off, but he made to attempt to hide his disagreement with the overprotective mother streak using his tone and facial expression.
Having kids at your age, at this kind of time, that's bad enough to begin with, Chris thought. But now, you won't even let them train, to prepare for the hard times they live in. I'll keep quiet for now, but not forever.

--Lol, he's so offended right now. ;)--

Hale happily bounced into the cabin, humming Zip-ah-dee-doo-da as he walked. He jumped and clicked his heels as he passed a few sleepy siblings. "Katie! It's you! Glad to see your quest is over!" Hale wrapped his arms around Katie's waist, which was just under his little reach. Standing only at 4 feet, Hale was much smaller than most kids at camp. That was all there was to it, though. He was short.

"And Chris!" Hale smiled at his friend, who he saw almost everyday. Still, it was good to see him now. Hale had been disclosed from people for a while, and now all of his friends were at camp, somewhere, but still here.

Then he saw the girl. She looked like the rest of gem, but she had more vibrant, amplified features, multiplied. And she was, Hale just didn't notice. He didn't notice that Katie's baby bump was gone either. He just noticed the beautiful girl. "Um . . . Hi. I'm Hale."
