Wanting peace { B R E N }

~Charlie Alexandra Raven~



Charlie ran a hand through her long, dark curls of hair, trying to keep it off her face completely. She didn't understand why she had got up so early. Well, she called it early. Others called it mid-day. She was the daughter of Hypnos, after all. Sleeping was in her blood. Sleeping helped her to forget about her 'Father's death and other depressing parts of her life.

Having said that, it wasn't as if Charlie would let anyone see the sad and alone part of her. Very few could and those consisted of a few friends and Chrion. They helped her through it but lately, Charlie had been sleeping as if her life depended on it. She didn't really see the point of socialisation. She tried to avoid it as much as possible. Sometimes though, confrontation just couldn't be ignored. She thought, along with many Aphrodite kids and other campers, that everything that happened was meant to happen. Everyone she met, she was meant to meet. Everything was destiny. By thinking like this, it made Charlie even more depressed when she realised that his death must of been fate also.

As Charlie's thoughts continued to swirl around her tormented mind, her old Converse crunched against the pebbles by the creek. Looking out at the lake, she let the frown dissapear from her face, smoothing out into a peaceful expression as she watched the calm waves. Just wearing a pair of jeans and her camp t-shirt, Charlie was glad that it was almost Spring so she wouldn't feel the cold on her tanned skin. She closed her eyes, letting the wind play with her hair as it fluttered in the breeze and hoped that she wouldn't need to socialise. But, being real, when could Charlie ever get some peace at camp? It was crazy.
