I'd just like to say before this starts, their will be a mention of self harm, so when it gets to that part, I'll give a warning. Please know if you ever need to talk, I'm here and no matter what's hurting, I care and love you all <3

RAYES POV
☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

Last night was well......

Lets just say I woke everyone up with screaming, "RAY HOW COULD YOU" after he piled a +4 on me, so I gave him my +4. Then he piled another +4. Then I was like, great, I have just one more +4 to pile on. Guess what? Had another +4. ANOTHER +4!! As you can tell, this was absolutely devastating and one of the worse things in humanity.

So, yeah that caused me to have a little scream and wake everyone up. Some people were pissed, some joined in. Around 8 joined in, until most of the cabin couldn't sleep so it was one big uno cabin sleepover. I think there was 20, so we split into 2 big teams, 10 on each side. We ended up having to add 5 more boxes of cards, so as you can tell it went pretty insane pretty quick.

You know that Rollercoaster of emotions saying? well, imagine that but in game form. Seriously, it was like being in a class with unsupervised children, bloody fun but bloody intense (yes I'm talking from experience.) But this was Hermes cabin, so obviously a lot more on the bloody intense scale. pranks were pulled, friendships lost, all over a card game.

I was swearing in Irish, others in Greek. Not long after a few change colours, it went downhill. Ivory Scrivon, an unclaimed camper who never shuts up about Taylor swift, somehow ended up receiving around 30 cards. Lets just say she went ballistic. She shouted. She screamed. It was a horrifying experience, and I mean that's coming from me.

Well, the next thing we know we hear the angriest banging on the door we ever heard. Ray did his usual awkward laugh, slowly stood up and went to open it. His handle on the door handle, 2 large wooden carved snakes twisted together, he looked back at us all. Signalling for help, realising who the upset neighbour was. Chiron? Mr D? Oh gods, this is NOT gonna end well.

Shaking, he opened the door. It was no other than..... Rose Araiza, child of Demeter. She's usually lovely and sweet, but now...well as Ivory would put it like that Taylor swift song "A nightmare dressed as a daydream.

There she was, dressed in bright pink flamingo pyjamas about to scream right into poor rays face.

"HOLY HERA, WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? YOU'VE BLOODY WOKE EVERYONE UP IN MY CABIN, SO KINDLY TURN IT DOWN, OR I'LL SEND YOU DOWN TO HADES FASTER THAN... I DUNNO JUST VERY FUCKING FAST"

Yeah, we definitely upset the poor girl. I mean, I'm not sure who was more affected- Rose, after seemingly taking all her willpower out on Ray, or Ray, who cannot help but want to run into a dark corner and cry whenever someone just slightly raises their voice. Gotta love him though.

We quietened down after, whilst all the other campers tried to get some sleep, I was comforting the poor guy whilst he was trying not to cry over having a voice raised at him. We all felt that sadness from him.

It usually takes me hours to sleep, but that night it actually half an hour! Honestly, the key to falling to sleep are those fake scenarios, trust me on that, I promise.

As great as that sleep was, having to wake up at 7 because you have sword practice at 10 isn't the most fun. I quickly (well, as fast as you could when still half asleep) got dresses into my orange camp half blood shirt, and some worn worn out black jeans.

Brushing my teeth, I overheard Ivory singing along to a Taylor swift song, something about a cowboy like me. I'm more into heavier stuff like my chemical romance or rage against the machine, but hearing how happy she sings Taylor swift every day has to be a highlight of my morning. Who knows, maybe I'll join her with being a swiftie one day.
