Wandering (Jolaw)

I sighed and snapped my fingers, making the small rose I held in my hand turn back into a leaf. I was sitting on a low sturdy branch somewhere in the middle of the forest. I didn't really cre to find out where. " Hello again, freind of a freind, I knew you well. Our cmmon goal was waiting for the world to end." I sang, quietly. Other than growing plants and cooking, singing was my favorite pass time.

Jacob was walking through the woods looking for some metal for a special project he was going to start. He planned to make a magical bridge for capture the flag. He looked around a corner to check for monsters and he saw a girl, maybe a couple of years older than him change a rose into a leaf. Okay she was either a daughter of Persephone or a Nymph. Okay he thought time to turn on the swag He approached the girl slowly and walked up behind her and said "Hi i'm Jacob, and you are?"

I stopped singing ansd turned to look at him. " Bonjour Jacob. I am Crysanthemum but most call me Crys." I said, my french accent ever present. I jumped down from the tree limb and smiled at him. I didn't have that many freinds here in America and it would be nice to make a new one.

okay, so shes french, try and speak fake french, "Adouve ve boubale triance le cheeseburger?" He hoped that really meant something, he kind of panicked at the end and said the first thing that came to mind because his "french" speaking wasn't over yet. By this time it was just rediculous, so he pulled out the only french sentence he thought he knew "Puis-je avoir une pastèque nombril." He thought it meant, "may I have eggs and Bacon" but it came out as "May I have a bellybutton watermelon"

I looked at him and cracked a grin. " I don't have any watermellons but I do have a belly button ring. Not sure why you would need it though." I said, a mischevious grin on my face. This guy reminded me of all the tourists that passed through Lyon.I put my hand on my hip and grinned. " So who exactly is your godparent?" I asked him, smirking.

Oh no, she saw straight through him, he would never make friends he would sit alone in the armory forever making magic bridges waaaaaaaah. No, you will make a friend! he thought, oh so you have a bellybutton ring and no watermelon that's kinda random but oh well She asked him who his godparent was, "Uh Hephaustus, I was just out here trying to find some special metal for a project im working on," ask her a question dufus " how about you?"

I chuckled and tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. Funny thing as my highlights stayed in place more often then my black hair. " Im a daughter of Persephone though the love I have for my mother is...lets say ' Spread thinly." I said, shrugging.I took a step closer to him and looked him up and down. " So what exactly are you working on?" I asked.

"Well I was getting metal for a magic bridge for capture the flag. It will be able to fit in the palm of your hand but then spring into a full sized ladder/ bridge. For going through trees. You would be able to pop in, grab the flag and pop out which is why i'm currently also trying to get an alliance with hermes so they can go through the trees." He hoped he hadn't been talking too much.

I chuckled. " Your quiet smart for someone so young." I said, smiling slightly. I knew I wasn't smart. Street smart maybe but book smart. Ugh. I'd rather know how to disarm a grown man than know how to right an Essay.

"Actually, I got the Idea from, a couple Apollo campers. They have tiny arrows that they hide in shoes and pockets. They can press a button on the bottom of the arrow and it grows into a full size full metal arrow. It's heavier but it still gets the job done quickly." He hoped he wasn't boring her with his tech talk.

I nodded. " Thats pretty cool." I said, smiling slightly. It was pretty ingenious. I would never have thought up sometjing like that. " I hope you do not mind me asking but how old are you?" I asked him.

"Oh i'm thirteen." He kinda wondered how old she was. "How about you?" He smiled it was fun hangin out with Crys.

I grinned mischeviously. A thirteen year old. Its like I kept running into youngons. " Im fifteen." I said, shrugging. There weren't that many kids my age here.

"well then how long have you been at camp? I've never seen you around." He remembered he still didn't have a weapon. He needed to get to the armory and take care of that.

I shrugged. " I have been here for about three weeks. Not long but I have learned my way around somewhat." I said, shrugging. It wasn't vital that I knew much about this place. I was ready to leave tonight if it was necessary. But I wouldn't. Didn't wanna disapoint father again.

I shrugged. " Thats alright. I am sure you had much more important matters to attend to then remembering your way around a camp." I said, smirking slightly. It was fun to talk to this kid. He was so humble. Up in Lyon finding a humble guy was like finding 500 euros on the street. Highly inlikely.

I laughed. " I am from Lyon, France. And yes I am french." I said, smiling gently. This boy reminded me of Gage. He was kind of awkward at time but terribly cute.

I chuckled darkly. " My stepmother sent me to America to study but I was 'displeased' lets say, with the school so I simply ran away. Traveled the North American Continent but I got caught after 2 years and got sent here." I said, smirking slightly. It had been a good run while I was out.

I looked at him on the verge of tears and frowned. I pulled him into a hug and wrapped my arms around him. Little known fact was that I was very maternal. " Do not cry. It is no good for a boy to cry." I said, smiling sadly down at him.

I smiled at him sadly." Well that's not bad." I said, putting my hands behind my back. " Oh the flower? I can make plants grow by will." I said, grinning mischievously.
