“BECAUSE! bill just sent you straight to the person he’s been trying to shelter you from! from! Fuuuck, I hate oracles! Why do people still use them! they are just bord women with nothing better to do than make people freak out!” joan groans
“fucking athena! I swear to Aphrodite I am going to kill alex!” joan says
“It’s no fucking wonder why you two are how you are! he’s so fucking dull! and no one is actually telling you shit! god i fucking hate posidain! gods all of them! they are all morons! sheltering doesn't halp people it pushes them away” joan said
she clenched her fists her knuckles going white
“GAH!” she yelled
“is she-”
“we should probably just let her cool off”
the twins sat on the while joan blew off steam
“what is she yelling about?” catherine asks
“uh…i dont know, people being dull and bill sheltering us i think” carci says
joan eventually sat down across from the twins who were now playing hand games. she buried her face in her arm, the other was clenched, holding the back of her hair.
“you good?” carci asks
“no” joan says
“mkay so what exactly are we gonna do?” carci asks
“uh well i now understand why you don't like summer camps and more importantly ill call alex to come pick us up” joan says
“that would be safest i suppose” catherine says
“see? this is why I don't like summer camps! no one here is ever actually as nice as they act” carci says
“you have trust issues and need a therapist” joan says
joan sat up and took a deep breath running a hand through her hair moving it out of her face.
“ok” she pulled out her phone and the twins went back to their hand game
her phone rang twice before someone picked up
“hello, um so theres-”she started
“no im not” joan says
“yes i promise”
joan glanced at the twins who were basically 100% focused on not her as Alex spoke
“yeah that is part of why i called”
joan wasn't sure what they were playing but carci threw her arms up
“yes! i win!” carci says
“i'm sure they’ll make the right choice” joan says
“yeah im sure”
“right ok bye” jon says
joan hung up and sighed
“ok so they’ll pick us up tomorrow in the evening” joan saiid
Joan was on edge for the rest of the day. the twins acted like nothing was different. they acted like the overly energetic soot gremlins that they were. Joan found it pretty amusing to watch. later that night the twins sat on catherine’s bed playing a quiet game of cards.
“Mah ha!” catherine whispers
“i win” she grins
carci rolled her eyes collecting the cards
“new game”
Catherine catches something in the corner of her eye. She put a hand on Carci's shoulder which made her stop what she was doing. they heard people moving outside. carci opened the window and climbed out landing louder than she would have liked.
“HEY!” someone yelled
“carp c’mon!” carci says
Catherine joins her and they run. they run in through the trees in the general direction of joans cabin. they could hear the counselors chasing after them. They eventually ran into joan and they ran in a different direction eventually finding themselves no longer in trees and instead in the large open area that the main building stood.
