MARE AND JASON WALKED TOWARDS THE BIG HOUSE IN SILENCE.
Jason looked anxious and Mare didn't want to have to deal with that, she was briefly worried that he would run off and then remembered that he only had one shoe on and probably wouldn't get very far.
She finally broke the silence when they reached the Big House, twisting her ring around her finger. "We're here, this is the Big House. It's Camp Headquarters. If you have any questions you can ask the person that runs this place, Chiron. Refrain from asking me."
The Big House was a four story manor, painted baby blue with white trim. The wraparound porch had lounge chairs, a card table, and an empty wheelchair. Wind chimes shaped like nymphs turned into trees as they spun. Mare had never liked the place, she could imagine old people coming here for summer vacation, sitting on the porch and sipping prune juice while they watched the sunset, the exterior looked old. On the highest gable, a bronze eagle weathervane spun in the wind and pointed straight in her and Jason's direction.
"I am not supposed to be here." Jason said. Mare turned her head towards him and raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue but he didn't.
