Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time.

Benjamin was enjoying the long periods of silence. The night was fresh and beautiful--the scenery, even in the dark, taking his breath away. Though, for once, he felt guilty for leaving Essie alone with nothing to talk about. He had nothing to say, so the conversation went downhill.

"So what have you been doing, you know, personally?" He meant their personal lives, but he didn't expect Essie to respond. She seemed just as quiet as he was, maybe even a little more sensative. If she didn't want to answer, she didn't have to.

Essie didn't know how to answer the question without giving much away about her secrets. She sighed, "Um...I've been thinking of becoming a summer camper again and going back to school, but I doubt it really." She didn't want to go back to Brooklyn, they were there. She sighed and put a piece of hair behind her ear. "I had to drop out." she said quietly, looking at her hands. She didn't like admitting that she was a drop out, she always had just hated saying it aloud. She shook her head hoping no emotion had shown in her face.

"I've never went to high school before," Ben said, a hint of sadness in his deep voice. "What's it like?"

He could only imagine driving up to some large building during his senior year, walking through the doors of the facility, and being surrounded by a bunch of teenagers. Whether he would be one of the popular guys at school or the way he is now would've been his decision, but he never had a chance to make it. Ben was seventeen now, and if he did go to high school, he would be junior; though, far behind on his studies. However, with the amount of time he has put into reading, that could be an easy fix.

Essie smiled weakly, "Neither did I. I dropped out when I was in 7th and I couldn't..." she paused for a second, should she really just say it? She rolled her eyes at herself, she was sure other kids had it worse than her, "Support myself in Brooklyn any more..." she thought of how hard she had tried to keep her mom's old apartment, she did so many things a 12 year old should've never been expected to do. She sighed, "Sometimes I wish that I could go to Brooklyn again, just to see my old house." she smiled sadly at herself. She didn't want pity, not from anyone though, she had gotten enough of that after Josh had died. She looked at him, "I wish I knew what High School was like though, I would've been a softmore this year." she sighed to herself.

Benjamin had completly forgotten about the time Essie spent at camp--seven years, just like him. Of course she didn't attend high school!

The son of Thanatos put his arm around Essie, giving her a reassuring side hug. "Do not let your past take over you," he said, his voice calm, almost creepy; though at the same time, relaxing. "Whatever happened wasn't your fault. We were born to this life for a reason."

Essie didn't expect the hug. No one talked to her that much except for a few people. She didn't mind it though. She sighed, "I know...I just..." she thought about her words carefully, "I want to know what life would be like if...nothing had happened, if I wasn't a demi-god, ya' know?" she said, looking at him. She knew that one question went through every single campers' mind. She thought about how her mom was always depressed because of Apollo leaving her alone. She closed her eyes blocking the memory. "It's hard to your past." she said. She had never really felt this open to talk about what she felt about life in general. She mostly kept to herself, she didn't choose to directly to go up and talk to someone. She let the fates decide how things would end up in her life at camp/

Benjamin kept his arm around Essie, lending his ears to the Apollo girl. He understood well her thoughts--her wishes and dreams, like they somehow shared the same brain. They didn't, but their philosophies were much alike.

"I know." Being a demigod overall sucked. Sure, one of your parents' was an immortal--a god or goddess--giving you powers that you only thought existed in anime cartoons or in books. However, it was difficult surviving--not just monsters, but emotionally.

"Like you said, there's a reason for everything."

"Then I truthfully hate reasoning sometimes." she said, leaning into Ben. It was getting late, the moon had fully come out. She sighed, how come in one night--just one--she had met someone who actually understood what she thought, what she loathed. She smiled to herself. This was nice to her. Sure, maybe she wouldn't be fully happy for a while, like a piece of her would always be missing. Maybe...maybe things could change for her though. She turned the thought over in her head as she listened to the sounds of the night, tapping her finger slightly to an imaginary beat.

Ben almost winced as Essie leaned into him, but remained calm and composed, allowing her head to rest on his chest.

Something was odd about this girl though. Everytime she spoke, he felt something churn in his stomach--a feeling that either made him extremely uncomfortable, or completly relaxed. He wasn't sure, but one thing he did know, was that Essie was different--one of the dew people he could actually talk to. This time, however, he felt different.

"Don't we all?" Ben said, his voice grim. "In all honesty, though, we sort of just have to live through it."

Essie felt him tense as she leaned into him. She closed her eyes as she spoke. "True." she said simply. She didn't know how or really why she needed to carry on this part of the conversation. "So, I lived in Brooklyn...where did you live?" she looked at him, "If..you don't mind telling me that is." she didn't want to make him feel anymore uncomfortable than he already did.

"I don't remember," Ben replied, his eyes widening. He must've been so focused on the present and the future that even the simplest of information, like where he grew up, had completly slipped his mind. How come he could still remember the horrors of his past so vividly, though? Probably because they were such tragic accidents. It's nearly impossible to forget such events.

"And don't worry, I'm fine with telling you whatever you ask. I'm sort of . . . used to you. I mean, you're a nice girl, and you're great to talk to."

Essie looked at him, "Thanks I guess?" she half smiled at him. "I could never forget where I lived..." she trailed, thinking back to the borough she called home. She shook her head. "What..." she thought of a way to phrase the question. "what did you think I was going to be like when you met me?" she asked, looking at him, question on her face.

Benjamin really didn't have to think about the question. In fact, it wouldn't even be necessary. He didn't really give much thought to what Essie would be like before he spoke with her. He never even planned this whole conversation to start. Everything happened so suddenly.

Especially the awkward feelings that churned inside him.

"I don't know to be honest with you. You never really looked like a bad person, and I'm certain that you know how to break a bone when you need to." Ben aswered as if it was a compliment.

"Yeah . . . Why? Is there a certain way you felt about me?" In truth, he didn't know why he suddenly cared what Essie thought about him. He never really did mind if someone hated him or even liked him; he was always alone anyway. Whatever was working inside of him was doing it's best to take over. Ben, of course, only resisted.

Essie looked at him, "I didn't think anything bad of you, if that's what you mean. I just thought you were quiet, because I had never noticed you before." she smiled. "You always looked normal to me..." she tilted her head, "Well, the most normal a demi-god can look anyways." she said, looking at him. She didn't know what had taken over her to ask him that question in the first place. She rarely spoke to anybody, much less for a whole conversation. She shrugged lightly at herself. She fought the felling inside of her. If anything happened like with what happened to her mom. She closed her eyes again, not wanting to think about it.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow. After he had asked that question, Essie's body language seemed to respond differently from her verbal answer.

"Are you sure?" he asked, careful of his words. "I mean-"

He didn't know what to say. He was lost for words yet again. Not only that, but the girl he possibly liked was sort of distant almost like he was. Now he understood why people usually thought he was a freak--he was too quiet.

Essie opened her eyes and looked at him, "Just...other things." she said quietly.She took a breath, she needed to be able to talk more. She was too distant. She shook her head, "Music. What do you listen to?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Nirvana, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park . . . Just a few off the top of my head. And you?"

Benjamin took a seat on the rock again, uncoiling his arm around Essie.

~ Failed post. xD

~it's cool. :)

Essie smiled, "Avenged Sevenfold, Evanescence, Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, Green Day." she smiled, "Good music." she said, "Not pop stuff." she said, making a face then smiling at herself. She wasn't usually this outgoing. She shrugged.

"Yeah, I know. Some of the pop stuff out now a days you can't even relate to with the lyrics. It's either about partying a lot of inappropriate topics."

Ben shook his head. "None of it really makes sense anyway."

~lol.

Essie sighed, "Exactly." she said quietly, her eyes were drooping. It had to be close to 10 a night or something. She sighed, forcing her eyes to open again. "If you could go anywhere in the world...and not have to worry about monsters, where would you go?" she asked, looking at him.

"Home."

Wherever that was. Ben couldn't believe he had forgotten his own home--the state he lived in. At least Essie still remember her place of residence.

Maybe it was just him, like he blocked out the memories to keep himself safe. Did he care more than he thought? Possibly. But even if he did, he wouldn't try and convince himself he wasn't, but would rather try and find a way to cope with everything--a way that would still keep him strong, and his sensative side hidden.

Essie looked at him, "I would go somewhere far away from home." she admitted. Why she was being so open with Ben, she didn't know. A feeling inside of her had made her trust him. A feeling that now she knew couldn't turn out to be anymore than a crush. Sadness went into her eyes before she quickly sent the emotion away. She knew she couldn't deny anything that she felt, but what if she had sworn to herself that she would never...ever like someone, or even more than that. She sighed.

Benjamin couldn't help himself. He studied her body language, and what appeared to be sadness filled her eyes--her soft, caring eyes that looked at him as if he were a normal person, not a freak for his introverted ways. Never before had he ever recieved that look, except from maybe Eliza, but Essie was . . . Different.

"I know what's going on," he said, his voice soft and low. Even he was afraid to admit it, because he never thought that these feelings would ever stur up inside. "It's difficult to understand emotions, but now I know what is happening."

Essie looked at him, her stomach doing an involuntary flip. Why was it doing that? she wondered to herself. She looked into his eyes, eyes that held back so much, but cared so deeply. She had picked up that long ago. "What?" she said, the one word coming out barely above a whisper. Did he fell that same weird way she did? Or did he hate her for not talking much? Her heart was thumping, she was surprised he couldn't hear it.

Benjamin shook his head. He had already brought it up, so there was no turning back now. However, he wished he never said anything; it was putting him in a difficult postion. This was something he never dreamed of happening to him, and he was certain it never would--though, it did.

"There are these . . . Feelings." Maybe that was a good start. Now, if only he could survive through it without choking on his words. "That we, er, feel."

As blood rushed to his head, Ben's face turned a cute shade of red, his normal skin color almost vanishing. What should he say now? The first art was utter crap, and definietly not something you'd say to a girl.

"Do you feel this way?"
