Give Me Pain

Cammy's legs felt like lead as she continued to jog over the forest grounds. Mud splattered everywhere as it drizzled. Every raindrop silently kissed her cheek and rolled away. Her surroundings weren't very clear since she was running too fast, or maybe she didn't care to even pay attention. Whatever the case, all that mattered to her was that it wasn't Camp Half-Blood. And in this case, she had a new demigod to deliver.

She glanced back at Tyler. Even when we are running for our lives he seems calm, Cammy thought. She adored him for that. He had played everything so cool back there. She had to admit, he was handsome, built, but she knew he was socially awkward. He was totally smart as well.

Then she felt guilt. Oh Connor, she silently moaned in her head. What she would do just to hear his voice or hold him right now.

"Whoa, Cam!" Tyler yelled.

Not even realizing it, Cammy started to fall over a ledge of the hill they had been climbing. She cried in alarm as she felt herself lose her balance. She had been thinking about so many things at a time, she had zoned out.

Give me pain, Cammy thought sarcastically. All she could do was helplessly tumble down the unknown territory with Tyler yelling behind.

**********

Cammy's body felt as if on fire, stumbling like an idiot all the way down. Dried leaves crunched under her weight as she continued.

Tyler called Cammy's name, but tripped over an outgrown tree root. Now Tyler, the clever, brave, heroic demigod that saved the beautiful daughter of Apollo, had tripped over a root. Who does that?! It hadn't been there before, had it? All these thoughts rambled on as Amber and he tried gripping anything in reach, but it was no use. The hill was too steep.

Suddenly, Tyler slammed into a boulder, slowly losing conciseness. Now, it was Cammy's turn to scream his name in alarm. Then everything went a really dark shade of grey.

"Who would kidnap my sis....," Will sniffled.

Will covered his eyes, shaking his head. Nico patted his back in reassurance. They continued walking in the depths of the dreadful forest. Connor stayed at bay, his head hanging low, deep in thought.

"Who or what, to be exact." Emma said miserably. Connor's head hanged lower. She immediately felt guilt.

Moron, you aren't helping, Emma thought. "Hey, it will be alright. We will find her, no matter what."

Without thinking, Connor hugged Emma, which surprised her. After a while she hugged back.

Connor felt as if he were about to burst in tears. He was torn apart, he was broken. His heart ached at the thought of Cammy. They had only been together for about two months, yet he couldn't go anywhere without knowing Cam was out of harm's reach. She was his, and only his.

"Ahem, Connor?" Emma's voice was muffled against his chest.

Connor quickly let go. "Sorry, just.....," He mumbled.

Emma nodded. She turned her head a 360, looking for the others. Then she spotted Will and the tip of Nico's hair behind some trees.

"C'mon." She urged. Emma took Connor's arm in hers and blushed. "Let's go find your girlfriend." He slowly nodded in response.

Arm in arm, they trudged after Solangelo.

(A/N: Is it just me....or am I falling for Frank after rereading the series....? *sighs dreamily that soon turns to a fangirl squeal*)
