Essie heard a shout made by someone's and went towards it. She had heard it all. Now she had to find Ben before they did to tell him. She sighed and sat down, hoping that he would come soon.

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in.
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time.
But I'm too young to worry.
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost.
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over.

Necromancy is a form of magic that involves communicating with the dead, and interacting with their spirits through an apparition; conversing the ability to presage the future or unearth concealed knowledge.

Benjamin absorbed the most important facts from his book, which was wrapped and sewn together with a black, leather hardback cover with an eerie design on it; the title written in gold calligraphy. He strolled along the camp trails, his eyes focalizing on the print in the book and the path ahead of him.

Derived from the Ancient Greek language, the word "necromancy" is post-classical; a combination of the words nekrós "dead body" and manteía "prophecy of divination".

Renaissance magic considered necromancy as one of the seven "forbidden arts".

Ben walked on slowly, quietly; concentraiting his brain power on nothing else but his quest for knowledge. He had already read this book thoroughly--cover to cover, as well as the rest of his collection of books that were gifts from his immortal father, Thanatos. He wanted to make sure that he reviewed every bit of of material he had learned--he would need his intellect of his inherited talents in the most necessary of situations, therefore he intended to thrive in every segment available to him and his half-siblings.

And even when all of these objectives were his top priorities, the teenager still found time to spend with his girlfriend.

He still couldn't exactly comprehend what had conquered him so quickly. How could he have given up his most valuable of posessions for a regular daughter of Apollo? How had he thrown away--without hesitation, to his astonishment--antisocial personality, his only shield? Still, he would have to work at it to at least become a bit more extroverted, but he wouldn't fully; Essie understood that, though he would at least try to be more than he already is. After all, he owed it to her for being so loving and forgiving.

Benjamin decided to end his walk in the library, so that he could relax and finish the last few chapters of his novel. He stopped at the threshold, stealthily and hastily hiding himself behind one of the walls outside the large complex, fast enough that no one could see him. He peered inside; keeping himself well hidden, and listened intentively to the conversation between the campers that were speaking with Essie.

Ben wasn't one of those overly protective boyfriends, so even if they were hurting Essie in some form of way, he would certainly step in, but wouldn't interfere in a way that made the daughter of Apollo be percieved as a weakling. What really caught his attention, though, was the word "boyfriend."

Were they talking about him? This drew his concentration even further, making sure that he caught every word that was said, whispered; ignoring the background commotion that prevented him from attaining his goal. His hearing senses grew sharper, analyzing the conversation fully. Closer, closer, closer...

It hit him.

The son of Thanatos grinned widely, perhaps distinguishing him as a mad person to the campers that entered and exited the library. With all of the trouble he had been put through, this part of his life had to be the most pathetic. This boy who was perhaps his age or a year younger was trying to steal something of Ben's? Was he really going to try and mess with a sly, seventeen year old son of Thanatos? Did he really think he could overcome the kid that no one knew about--the boy that hid himself for specific purposes only to assist him as advantages? Foolish!

Benjamin walked casually into the library, placing his book in his dark blue backpack and resting his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He wore his very popular--popular to those that truly knew him--straight faced expression, which was complimented by his dark, black eyes. His gray fedora was placed firmly on his head, making him appear to be a figure not to be messed with, and more importantly, contradicted.

"Hello everyone," he greeted, his words spilling out like venom from a deadly, poisonous snake. "I couldn't help but overhear my name."

Ben could keep his emotions hidden well when he needed to, and this usually caused him to present himself as an intimidating teenager. On the inside, he couldn't help but smile. He had dealt with tougher situations, and he was confident that this would be capable of handling this situation quickly and efficiently; hopefully making everything less painful than usual.

He studied the two boys intensively, almost like he was looking straight through them and radiating large amounts of fear. Ben couldn't wait to get started on them. "Would you mind telling me why I heard my name? Of course, I do deserve to know. I wouldn't want anyone trying to come after me, huh?" He said his words as if they were to be meant as a joke, and to sound more convincing, he gave a soft laugh. "So go on. Enlighten me."

hmmm that was easier then I thought. "Im Justin son of I dont know. you must be ben?" I asked looking at him like I dident or havent done anything. "Do you mind me asking why you were ease dropping on us? or would you rather walk away so this conversation dosent do anything bad?" I asked like I was professanal at this kind of stuff

Essie rolled her eyes at Jo-Justin. She smiled and went over to Ben. She would tell him what she overheard in a minute. "Hey Ben." she said a small twinkle in her eye. "Jason over here was asking about you." she smiled towards the Hepehestus boy. She turned to Ben so her back was to the boys as she whispered to him, "I need to tell you something."

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Mon Nov 21, 2011 12:12 pm

I turned to Jason and whisperd somthing in his ear then I walked away. This is going to be a long day. I thought to myself.

Benjamin became slightly exasperated at Justin's interrogations. He looked down upon the small boy; knitting his eyebrows together, but maintaining a calm demeanor. Had the boy even listened to what Ben said previously? If he had, the young son of Apollo would have clearly recognized that the questions he was asking now were completely unnecesary, due to the fact that the teenager had already answered them before they were inquired. While Ben was trying to sort this scenario out peacefully--if he was capable of upholding the harmony--he would be talking to himself the entire time. Oh, how fun!

Ben was a man of integrity, however, so he wouldn't criticise or begin any facetious or violent strife unless proven absolutely crucial to the matter. For now, he would examine his opponents; understand their logic, and in the process, compose an efficient way where he could make their decietful plotting fall and crumble bit by bit, surreptitously and slyly. It would be easy--he already knew their plannings, so their efforts wouldn't prevail. Even so, it would be Essie's decision that would solve everything if he were to fail, which was, quite honestly, one in a million. She would choose him; there was no doubt about it. They understood each other, and have spent enough time to obtain each other's trust. He smiled inside--he had already proven their scheme to be a huge joke, and victory was closer than ever. He would, without almost any difficulty, win.

"Perhaps you hadn't heard me the first time," he said smoothly. "I overheard my name; I had ever reason to eavesdrop. Wouldn't you do the same if you saw through my perspective?"

Perfect return. Not only had Benjamin embarrased the boy for his failure, but Justin would from now on know who he was dealing with, and that the son of Thanatos couldn't be beaten easily. He was persuasive; intelligent in battle and the common day academics, and more over, and furthermore, cunning and crafty. Of course, though, he only used his talent of deception when it was needed, and not for the most stupid of reasons. Perceptibly, everything he needed was on his side.

The seventeen year old turned to Essie, who had come up to greet him. He smiled at the sight of her; then returned to his usual poker face, that way he wasn't letting his guard down when the two boys tried to go in for a strike. He lended his ear to Essie as she whipsered in his ear, and her words confirmed Ben's argument. She did care for him, therefore he had the victim on his side. This was going to be pathetically easy.

He turned to his antagonists. "Oh, believe me. I know what this is all about," Ben remarked, his words mostly for Essie, but also towards his opponents. "Don't worry. I have everything under control."

Essie smirked, going towards Ben, Holding his hand behind her back. She squeezed his hand and smiled up at him. She let out a soft laugh at Justin's questioning. He really didn't listen to Ben did he? She shook her head slightly at the kid. His personality was so unlike Josh's that it was really easy for her to see him as Justin now. She saw Ben smile to him and return to his poker face. She hoped he knew that she would choose him over that Jason guy any day, right? She was going to make sure any ways. She sighed, she wasn't even that pretty, sure she had some good qualities with her, but with her tattoo and her piercing...she thought some people wouldn't see it as nice or pretty. She smiled in return to Ben, her face falling at the sight of Justin's mischievous expression.

"Excuse me....I'll, no wait, We'll be right back." I pulled justint o the side and gave him a stern look. "justin, my shot to hook up with her is busted now that he is here. how is our plan going to work out now? huh? How? We have to find someway to get him away from her, make him believe something horrible has happened between them, and now they have to break up. then i can mend the peices of her heart. I love my plans, but i need you to put them into action."

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:53 pm

Ok ok just tell me wich plan. mine was just bribr whim with 200 drachmas and tell him to brake up with he. but ok ill do yours.tell me when to do it and wich one. Ok?

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Mon Nov 21, 2011 9:03 pm

"Justin...find the right time and so which ever plan you want. I don't care, as long as she becomes my girlfriend." I was hopign he got the message. My vioce was so low, making sure at every second that no one was listening in on our conversations. I cannot have another plan spoiled by Ben or Essie.

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Mon Nov 21, 2011 9:05 pm

Essie tried to listen in to there conversation, she couldn't hear anything, even if she strained her ears to their extent. She sighed, looking at Ben, "Hey Ben.?" she asked, biting her lip, "Can we promise each other that no matter what they say, we won't do anything rash until we know its absolutely true?" she whispered, making sure that she couldn't be heard. If Jason was trying what she thought he was...they would need that promise. She wouldn't admit it out loud, but she was scared of what they could possibly say to get them to break up. She sighed, looking down. You're so stupid Essie. she said to herself. She closed her eyes before looking up at Ben again.

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Mon Nov 21, 2011 9:20 pm

I secretly watched Essie and Ben from behind my book. Why are you doing this justin. they are meant to be. and aphrodite will probobly kick my butt for braking them up. i said to myself. I got up and walked back to Jason. I cant do this Jason. I can help you get a single girl but Essie and Ben are meant to be. i said loud enough for him to hear but quiet enough so no one can easdrop.

Benjamin recognized the sorrow in Essie's bright, green eyes. His stomach dropped, and his expression softened; giving his girlfriend a sympathetic look. Now, he was going to take this seriously. He had previously thought this was a stupid joke before, but to see Essie react to everything like this... It made him angry.

"Don't worry, Essie," he said softly; reassuringly. "I wouldn't believe anyone until I came to you first."

Ben looked over at Justin and Jason, his expression hardening, and his knuckles turning a bright white as he clenched them into a fist. How dare interefere in his life? How dare they treat he and Essie like they were some sort of toy? The two had crossed the teenager's limits, clearly pushing him on to his aggressive side. He wouldn't act viciously unless he needed to take that course of action, but he wouldn't tolerate such ignorance toward he and Essie. If they thought they could even possibly get away with such a poorly thought out plot to reign victorious, they had another thing coming.

"I won't let them make me believe what they say you are. You're better than that personification."

Essie smiled at Ben. The trust they had in their relationship was incredible. She gave him a quick side hug. "Thanks." she said softly. She looked over in the direction of Justin and Jason. What were they even talking about? She shook her head. As long as Ben knew that she only wanted him, she was fine.

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Wed Nov 23, 2011 9:07 pm

"Fine Justin, just don't do this for me! I am outta here!!!!!!!!!!" I sreamed that last line. One of the librarians stopped me on my way out, and she told me not to come back anymore. So i guess that means no more books either. Well, i hated to read anyway, so....whatever.

Essie watched at Jason stormed out, he looked extremely mad at something. She just heard him yell and then get banned from the library...she wondered why he was so mad? Wasn't Justin going to help him try--and fail--to get Ben to break up with her and 'mend the pieces of her heart back together'? She shook her head, looking at the door, she wasn't a heartless person, nor emotionless, nor clueless, but she really had no idea why he wanted her specifically. She sighed, "I don't understand people." she muttered, looking at Ben.

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:52 pm

I followed Jason out of the library dude please I want to help you and stuff but I really dont want to get on Essie's bad side. please give me another chance to help you with another girl. Please???

Subject: Re: Books galore.(USMC, Essie, and Bre Bre) Thu Nov 24, 2011 11:35 am

"NO! I don't want you help. I wanted that girl in there. I don't want any other girl. Look, Justin, I already have a girlfriend and I wanted to find someone else to make her jealous to make her want me more. I was going to break up with my girlfriend, go out with her, and make my ex-girlfriend jealous. But if I really liked that girl that i was using, I would stay with her. Okay...that was my master plan."

Essie was walking out of the library, having getting a book she wanted in Greek. She stopped when she heard the conversation. She frowned as she heard his so called, 'Master plan.' How dare he use her as a little piece in his game! She was very, very, very mad at that moment. He had no right to do that to anyone, to manipulate a girl like that? Rude. She shook her head, hoping that she wasn't heard or seen during their little conversation.
