AFTER ALORA got her prophecy, she never was quite the same. her once bright smiles turned into forced ones, her energy seemed to vanish and get replaced by sleepiness, her eyes lost their sparkle and instead of training like usually, she stayed in her bed thinking.
this change did not go unnoticed by luke castellan, her cabins counselor. even though he never really talked to her (except if it was to scold her for taking too long to pick an outfit.) yet, he knew the numbness the girl was feeling right now, since he was quite the same after his...quest.
the way her skin seemed to turn whiter by the day really broke the heart of the blond male, making him go join the girl on her bed. "hi, alora." luke started, rather awkwardly, his blue eyes dropping at the girls state. alora mumbled, seemingly just having woken up even though it was already eight thirty.
"hmm, luke?" she figured, her once sparkly eyes still closed. "don't worry, you won't have to wait for me to get dressed. i will not be joining you today." she repeated for the fifth time this week, making her counselor sigh sadly.
the blue eyed boy took the blanket off of the unclaimed half-bloods body, immediately sending shivers down her spine. "get up." he demanded, his voice way softer than he intended. "what are you on about─" she started, cut off by clothes hitting her on the head. "you can't keep doing this to yourself, alora. get dressed, i'll wait for you." he smiled at her, signalling for the other to go on and mouthing something along the lines of 'we will join you soon.'
once everyone was gone, the older boy looked back at the now standing alora, earning himself a death stare. "i already told you." the green eyed girl pinched the bridge of her nose, "i have permission not to participate in activities." she reminded, making hermes son shake his head disapprovingly.
"listen to me alora." he insisted, walking closer to the brown haired girl. "I don't know that happened in the last five days that made you like this, but you're not the alora i used to know." he finished, making the girl fake laugh in amusement. "know me? what a joke. you have never even tried to get to know me." she pointed at him accusingly. "where were you when i was discluded from every single cabin activity because i was unclaimed? huh?" alora sniffled, her eyes filling with tears.
