Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP)

I went under the water and came back up coughing once or twice. "I would recall that as cheating." I laugh recovering. I lightly splashed him again laughing.

"Sounds interesting." Charity said, examining the book again. She looked up at Alyssa again. "Twins? Wow. I can't imagine." She sighed. "I wish I had a brother. Instead I have an annoying little half sister. She's five years younger than me and completely spoiled." Charity shrugged. "But I don't see her anymore. I've been here for about a year. I'm a year-rounder." She smiled at the thought. A year-rounder. It was great to not see her 'parents' or her 'sister'.

"Wow, they're really going at it." Charity laughed. "Have they known each other long?"

When she laughed, I started to, and now I can't stop. So I just tread water, laughing as she splashes me.

"They just met." I tell her, following it up with an "I know!" when she looks at me. "We're just here for the summer though, I can't imagine what it'd be like not having somewhere to go home to..." I trail off, thinking that I'm making her uncomfortable.

"Take this!" I laughed splashing him again. This was so much fun. I liked spending time with Ajax. Maybe we can hang out another time after this. Yeah, that would be great.

Charity shrugged, staring unseeingly at Kennedy and Ajax. "Yeah, well, my half-sister and parents are the best to be around. Super control freaks. Terrified that I might blow them to bits." She laughed. "It's like the think I'm Harry Potter, not the daughter of a god." She hadn't read the books, but had watched the movies. At least, the first three movies.

"Wow," She said quietly. "They're really bonding." It reminded her of Jake. She and him had bonded like that when they first met. If they had been older, she was sure they would have more than just friendship.

"So, just here for the summer? Well, that's all right. I'll just have to get to know you before the end of summer. Doesn't seem too hard." She turned to Alyssa and gave only a slightly forced smile.

I got to the beach when saw Ajax and a girl having a splash war and two other girls sitting on the beach. I decided to join them. "Hi, i'm Carter. Who are you two?"
Carter Whelan, Son of Hephaestus, 15

Wow, this is actually fun! I thought sitting at the beach with Alyssa would've been a waste of time but, it's payin' off!
I duck under the water, intending to swim behind Kennedy and jump up, but a shiny object on the sand glistens through my impaired under-water-vision. I dive down deeper and deeper, excited to find out what it is.

"Yeah, It'll be nice to get to know some people who'll be here next year as well." I return the smile to Kennedy, though if I'm honest, I don't think she truly meant it.
"Hi, I'm Carter. Who are you two?" another boy joins us. From what I can tell in the semi-darkness, he's got dark hair.
"I'm Alyssa Manning, and that there" I gesture to the waves but Ajax is gone, probably under the waves to surprise that girl, "well, that was my brother, but he seems to have gone somewhere."

Charity nodded and watched Ajax and Kennedy. "Mhmm." She said vaguely, thinking about next year. It was kind of amazing she had lived this long, being a demi-god. Her life before Camp Half-Blood had been confusing, and more than once life threatening. But since she stayed at the camp year-round, she supposed it wasn't that great of a feat.

"Hi, I'm Carter. Who are you two?"

Charity looked up and smiled. "Hey, I'm Charity. Nice to meet you Carter." She glanced at the disappearing figure of Ajax, then turned back to Carter. "What's up?"

I turn and see that Ajax is gone. He's nowhere to be seen. I dive under the waves to see him, swimming toward a shiny object. My curiosity got the best of me so I also started swimming toward the object. It was pretty deep under. I was glad I can hold my breath for a period of time. I kept swimming deeper and deeper to the object. I was running out of air, but I could care less. What is that object..?

Woah! It's just so shiny! I reach out towards it and a strong feeling of encouragement washes over me (pun not intended), increasing my speed, I grab it, and it feels hot even under the water. It's a metal chain, maybe silver and on the end of it there's a circular locket, I try to open it but it's stuck fast.

I sit between the two, staring out over the sea. The girl Ajax was with dissapears beneath the waves and Ajax doesn't seem to be resurfacing. Standing up quite arubtly, I drop my book and race toward the sea, worried for my brother.

I looked at the object Ajax picked up. Wow, it was pretty. It looked like a locket. Oh Gods. I'm running out of air. I swam up to the surface quickly and caught my breath. I saw Alyssa running toward the water, looking worried. "He's okay." I reassured her. "He found a locket type thing under the water. He should be back up any second."

Posts : 250 Join date : 2011-03-22 Age : 26

I just stare vacantly at the locket, that's now cooling down, until Kennedy's sudden rush upwards makes me remember where I am and that I need air to breathe. I race up after her, only now realising the pressure crushing my lungs.
Then I break the surface and the cold air hits me, but it's nice, I drink it in then turn to face the shoreline, Alyssa's there and I just catch the end of Kennedy's sentence, "...should be back up any second." I swim towards the shore then wade out, not listening to either of the girls, my only thought being that I'm naked in only my boxers, something that never occured to me before. I shake myself off, it doesn't do much but it's all I can do without a towel, then re-clothe myself.

I breathe a sigh of relief, then turn to face the girl as Ajax heads for his clothes. "What did you say he found?" The realisation of what the girl said just hitting me.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Wed Jun 15, 2011 3:03 pm

"A locket of some sort." I said wading out of the water also. I grabbed the towel I brought and dried myself off quickly. I put back on my clothes and took my hair out of the pony tail, drying my hair with the towel.

Charity looks up in alarm as Alyssa goes running. Something was wrong. She saw Kennedy coming up for air but didn't see Ajax. Hadn't he gone under first? He couldn't have that that big lungs, and she really doubted that the twins were children of Poseidon.

"Excuse me." She said over her shoulder to Carter as she began running after Alyssa. She had a sinking feeling in her stomach. She was aware that if there was something wrong, it was definite that there was nothing she could do. She hated that feeling. It brought back painful memories.

Luckily, before she was even halfway toward the group, Ajax popped up, breathing heavily. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to shore. When the others came back, she looked at the locket carefully. "What is that? I mean, what's inside?"

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 16, 2011 9:12 pm

I run to where everybody else is along the shoreline. "Whoa, if that needs a key..." I took out some scrap metal and press it and mold it together, and in about a minute a key was in my hand. "ah here we go." I handed the key to Ajax who was still a little damp.

Posts : 250 Join date : 2011-03-22 Age : 26

I look at the new boy, he seems familiar, but there's other more important things I'm thinking about right now. I take the key, turn it over, then look at the locket.
"There's no lock." I give back the key and try to prise open the locket, but to no results.
"Ajax, we should really get back to the cabin, it's getting late." Alyssa sounds worried, and I want to stay with Kennedy a bit longer, but I'm too exhausted to argue.

Ajax nods at my suggestion, and heads back, still slightly dripping, to our cabin.
"Thanks for the night, guys..." I leave it there, looking rather awkwardly at the group of people on the becah. "Thanks... thanks..." I follow Ajax back to the cabin.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:24 am

"Bye." I waved. Well, what a nice day. What a weird ending though. I packed up my stuff and looked at the two people that remained. "Well, have a nice day." I smiled and walked back to my cabin.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:38 pm

Charity looked at Alyssa, slightly taken aback by the abruptness of their departure. "Bye." Right after she said that, Kennedy walked off as well. She frowned. It was strange how quickly everyone cleared off, but she supposed it was probably time to go as well. No use getting caught by harpies. She turned to Carter and smiled slightly. She meant to explain that she too had to go, that she was sorry about how sudden it was, and that she was glad to meet him. Instead she just said, "Yeah, bye." She turned on her heel and walked down the beach toward the Apollo cabin.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:03 am

I saw Charity leave and something unexpected, even for me. "Hey Charity, would you mind if I walk you back to your cabin? It is getting dark, and the cabins are a long way from here, so we can keep each other company." I asked having no idea what I just said.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:27 pm

Charity turned to Carter and nodded, glad for the company. She waited for him to catch up then matched his pace as best she could. She hummed off key for a few minutes before speaking to him. "That was kinda weird. Them just running off so fast like that." She fiddled with her necklace. "So, what brought you to the beach so late?"

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Mon Jun 20, 2011 11:51 pm

"Well my mom and I always go to this same hotel by the beach every summer. Every night, I would just go down to the beach thinking about what my dad is like and well I like watching the sunset so I pretty much keep that tradition by going down to the beach in the evening just to watch the sunset." I said as I stopped going down memory lane. "Well now it's time for me to ask you a question. Do you know Demitri Nalve, friend of mine half brother of yours? and What your best summer memories?" I asked the beautiful girl walking along side me.
