Camp Half-Blood

Val didnt chug it she drank it, she didnt mean to hit him in the head and finally she likes scotch, lol. But she didnt do anything to deserve the emotional ass whipping he tried to give her. Yes she got a temper, but what do you expect from a child of fire? Cool headedness instead of a hot temper? Yeah right! lol.

Shæ dismounted. "Stay here Ace." The pegasus obeyed. Shæ walked after Michael, stepping lightly on the ground. She caught up and touched his shoulder. "Michael, why did you get in her face like that? We have to respect ourselves and eachother if we're going to work as a team and find the fleece. After that you can do whatever you damn well please. But until then you have to try to be polite." Her voice was gentle like the ocean after a storm. "Don't give me some bullshit excuse as to why you did that. Even you could see the hurt in her eyes mate. Don't lie. We all have scars and issues but we dont need to be adding to them." She touched his arm lightly before walking back to Ace and strokng his muzzle.

Val tried not to cry. She really did. It was one of those moments where you are doing you hardeest not to cry in front of someone only to lose the fight as soon as they ask if you're alright. She closed her eyes and put her head betwenn her knees. "No Shay Im not. Everywhere i go i cause destruction because of this so called gift. Because of this i set the coffe table on fire by accident and my mother burned to death." She sat up and looked at him. "I went away from the camp two years ago so i could stop blaming myself for a freak accident that caused my mothers death. I just want to relax for a while before i get another damned scar like this one or worse before i die." She showed him her scar.

"I miss my Moma and Nana so badly. knowing they're in the underworld in the fields is my only consation." She sighed and dried her eyes.

I don't think Michael understands that Val was only joking. She knows its "Not a fucking game" as a certain someone put it. ;) The past two years she had to survive fighting monsters all on her own. I think she deserves a break. Whether it pisses Michael off or not. :) But yeah. I'm gonna need all the luck i can get.

Camp Half-Blood

Val had had enough. She pulled her fire back into her body, slapped Michael and ran off. Once she was out of sight she sat down and tried not to cry. She missed her mom and she missed her nana, the only two people she had loved. I destroy every life form i touch. I shouldn't be here. I'll burn down the whole damned camp because of this stupid gift. Decanse en pas la Madre. Decanse en pas la Nona. Valen sat there staring blankly into space as she wished her family peace. She knew she wasn't going to.

She pulled out some scraps of bronze and a hinge and went to work. When she was done, a heart shaped locket sat in the middle of her palm. She carved vines and paisley designs all around it. Then she opened it and carved her mothers name and her nanas name, Aice and Tatiana. She threaded a delicate bronze chain through the loop and fastened it around her neck.

Camp Half-Blood

Val burned the vines and jack-knifed to her feet angrily. "You hijo de puta! I never acted like itvwas a game you culo! My hands may work with metal but they are not dirty you malditos culo!" Flames licked at her skin with her uncontrolled rage. "Vete al infierno que culo enfermo! vete a la mierda!!" She seethed. He was playing with fire. And boy was he going to get burned! Valen swore like pirate and threw a little fire just right to burn his shirt without touching his skin. Valen wass beyond mad. She was enraged beyond what was safe for her.

She knew in the back of her mind that is she got any angrier she really hurt someone or burn something.

Val nodded then swore. "Maldito. Thats a godd idea mí amigos." Val cupped the watch in her hand and took the bracelet, centering it around the watch.She then made sure it would stay there no matter what and grabbed Vics hand, sliding it on. She held Vics wrist and admired her work. "What would you do without my skills? Certainly couldnt have done that." She said proudly. "Though i do feel like a pack rat carrying scaps and nuts and bolts with me everywhere."

She laughed softly and grabbed the flask, taking another drink. Val danced out of Michaels reach and downed the rest. "That was not wasting you hijo de puta. It was using it for something other than destroying my liver." She paused. "Unlike you." Shevtossed the empty flask at him, hitting him in the forehead with a soft thunk. Val laughed at the image.

Val looked at Morning incredulously. "Of course i have metal. Are you daft? child of Hephæstus here!" She pulled out a small half finished bronze box and stuck the tracking thing in it. She held it there and set a bronze dorr and hinges on it, welding it with a fingertip. She poured a little of the scotch on the metal to cool it and took a drink of the rest. She held the flask up and grinned. "Best stuff I've ever tasted amigo. you have great taste!"

Shæ nodded to Vic. "This is my first time mate. And damn i will enjoy it. Monsters gods or Underworld or otherwise. I'm determined to make the best of it. Plus Da said he's goin to give me something special when I go on my first quest. He swore on tbe river Styx. Must have been very specisl for that kind of oarh." She said.

Camp Half-Blood

Val Laughed. "I think it's euphoria. Shælyns been here since she was thirteen and never been on a single quest. She's just excited." She smiled and played with a ball of fire. "Maldito, that is one happy chica." She commented.

Shæ rode Ace up to them, cheeks flaming in embarrasment. "Sorry mate. Just finally sunk in and I couldnt hold it in any longer." She braided Aces silky mane absentmindedly.

Camp Half-Blood

Val smiled. "good. But i had a whole set of curses i was planning on using." She laughed.

Shæ wheeled Ace around and galloped past Val and Shay and leapt over Morings head, aughing her ass off. Ace circled in the sky and whinnied happily, drawing the attention of the campers below. Shæ whooped and guided Ace back down grinning madly.
