Jake's Entrance.

My smile started fading. Erebos. Deep. Sad Darkness.

"That's okay. I know some nice people down in the basement. Two of which are paternal half-sisters." I point to Kana-Minh and Aiko Wu who sit together at Hera's. "Sometimes they switch from the base to Hera's."Not everyone here is mean. Only Ares," I smirk. "Hades; now those kids could be perfect friends for you. Their father is the ruler of the Underworld." I regain my smile, but its much smaller now.

Oh. The basement. Perfect.
Jake shoved his hands in his pockets and watched her smile fade, cringing slightly. Why did he even bother? No one liked Erebos...He was too...Dark...
"Yeah. Hades." He said quietly.

"Don't worry. They're nice. If you abide by them." I figure I should leave him and eat. He seemed a bit, awkward.

Jake went back to his food, but his appatite was gone. Would the other campers reasct the same way as Iekka did? Would everyone hate him because of his father?
He shook his head. It had been a long day, but he didn't know where the basement was. So, of course, he didn't ask. He sat there awkwardly picking slightly at his food. Why did life have to be so hard? Even away from home he was shunned...

Tony walked back over, "What a bunch of pricks," he said sitting down, "I swear every guy over there is a freaking drama queen." He looked over at Jake, he was sad. Like depressed. "What's up with you?" I said jokingly hitting his shoulder.

He looked back at Tony.
"Everyone hates me...Because of who my dad is. Well, except you...But you don't even know who he is yet...Yet..."
He stopped as he was rambling.
"But...it's not important." He added weakly.

"Dude," I said sympathetically, "Screw everyone else. One of my adoption dad's used to say, 'Screw the world, screw your friends, when the world goes to s***: grab your brothers, and get out' and as far as I can see, you're my brother." It was a bit cheesy, yes, but he hated to see Jake like this.

Jake smiled slightly for a moment before his usual frown crept back onto his face.
What Tony had said was nice. Cheesy, sure, but nice. He was glad that someone cared.

"So...You know where the basement is?" He asked absentmindedly. "That's where I have to go."

"What?!" Tony was pissed now, "They're having you sleep in a basement? Forget it. I'll sneak into a cabin somehow." Tony's mind was already racing with ideas. Jake could pass as a kid of, uh-what was his name? Hades. He could pass as a Hades kid EASY.

Seeing the other kid over there annoyed me. I got up another time because he seemed...wrong. I walked over to the boys again, leaned on the table, and just said one sentence. "Basement is dark and cold; Hera's is sweet and kind, and I prefer you sleep in Hera's." I walked away afterwards. The kid seemed depressed. He wasn't hated. He was just like the Hades kids. Not everyone knew how to talk to them.

Jake watched her go again. She had seemed throughly annoyed.
He shrugged it off and thought about the two options. On one hand, there was Hera's cabin. It was warm , and probably better than the basement. The downside was there was probably more people there than he could manage.
Then, there was the basement. The cold basement. He didn't really care if it was dark, he didn't mind the dark, obviously...but...It was the basement.
Jake was frustrated now. Which one could he pick? He could always switch off, but that would be annoying.
He looked back at Tony and shrugged. "I don't think that would work...Something would go wrong. It's okay, really, i'll just stay in the basement. I'm used to it by now." As soon as the last words were out of his mouth, he wished he didn't say them. He didn't want people to know he had to sleep in the cellar before now...

"Whatever bro. Just remember, if you ever need anything, I'll get it for you. Don't even take a second thought about it, just ask." I meant it, too. It scared him a little that he was 'used' to sleeping in a basement before, but I didn't ask. I finished eating and then laid there, basking in the sun.

It felt so great, like his dad was hugging him from that high in the air, even if it was already setting.

Jake nodded.
"Thanks." He said quietly to Tony. "So..." He started.
He was terrible with conversation, but, there was no harm in trying, right? It wasn't as if he would get blown up at for trying to start a conversation. After all, this wasn't the apartment, this was a place he could be safe at.
