Location: Camp Half-Blood Cabin -> Dinning area
Skill:
Andy had been sleeping better since her brother had come back. She had slowly been adjusting to life at camp without Arthur. She didn't like it but that was the way of things. There had been no service for him as he wasn't dead, just living with his dad in the Underworld. She hadn't decided if she thought he was lucky for that or not. She hadn't been able to sit through the portion for Mads, but she had cried for Leda and Jason. She liked them.
Time had seemed to tick by so slowly and she sort of wished she wasn't a full-time camper and could go to school or something. Not that camp didn't have plenty for her to learn. She had made herself busy with Stella. Doing just about anything and everything to pass the time. When July finally came she was agitated.
July always meant her birthday. Andy didn't like her birthday much. Last year had been the best one. She had spent time with Arthur and done all sorts of fun things with him. This year she could only hope that by the seventh they'd have her Aunt back. When the knock on the door from Coach Hedge brought her out of her consideration of which camp shirt to wear she almost jumped, but then relaxed realizing who it was.
"It's just Demi and I in here Hedge." She shouted, pulled on the shirt, and left the cabin. Andy whistled and Chocolate was not far behind her.
"Don't worry Coach we wouldn't break the rules." She smiled at him and headed to the dining pavilion. She had definitely broken the rules a few times, especially the stupid table rule. That was the worst rule. It was silly she couldn't sit with her friends and during the Summer Coach and Mr. D were both way more strict about it.
Andy grabbed a plate and it had a muffin and some scrambled cheesy eggs and her glass filled with chocolate milk. When she put her plate down she waved at a few people before digging in. Her brother would eat at his own time, if she waited for him she'd get a stink eye from him.
Location: Camp Half-Blood Roman area
Skills:
Niah had fallen asleep the night before looking over any information she could get her hands on about the Doors of Death. They'd be nearby soon and Niah wanted to be prepared. She also researched everything she could about Valhalla.
If that was where her sister was...there was a reason. It meant a couple of things. First, her sister was definitely dead, second she had died fighting with a weapon in hand, and third, they had to have different mothers. She wasn't surprised by the third one, her dad had three children and none of them had the same mother. Her younger brother was pure mortal as far as Niah could tell. He hadn't been shipped off to either camp and he should have by now. He wasn't that much younger than her. But of course that made her wonder who Dalisy's mom was, and the temptation to call her dad had increased after that.
When she woke up her neck hurt; she rubbed at it and her face before taking a quick shower and changing out of the clothes from the previous day. Between running the Roman camp and trying to find out more about the Doors of Death, and her training, Niah had kept herself as busy as she could over the last six months. On the nights when she didn't fall asleep at her desk, she tossed and turned, and usually ended up reading all night anyway. It wasn't healthy and she knew it. But it was that or despair. Niah couldn't allow that. She had made an oath, she could feel it itching at her if she ignored it.
The oath didn't seem to care that they had a lead but it had to wait. The waiting wouldn't be much longer. She would be at that park on the 4th. She would get back her friends.
Nancy had been lost in her own way. It felt like there was a sea between the two of them now. Niah had wondered sometimes if that is what parents who lost a child feel like. A huge gulf between the person they love most in the world because someone dear to both of them had been taken away. Niah had considered calling her father and asking him. Then probably telling him what she had seen about her sister. They hadn't talked in two years though and she felt weird about calling him now, especially with bad news.
