CASSANDRA EVERHART loved to spend her time in a meadow just by the canoe lake.

It had the lushest grass in all of camp, surrounded by tall pines that enclosed the space in a protected circle. In the meadow were various flowers in every shade imaginable, from dazzling white to cherry red to sunset orange.

In the center of it all, Cassandra would lay and stare at the clouds that passed overhead, trying to see shapes in them. There went a rabbit, and then a panther, and then a mouse...

In her hands were a cluster of flowers. Her nails—freshly painted thanks to the Aphrodite kids—matched the baby pink of the wildflowers perfectly. She strung them together, creating various shapes before she eventually weaved them together to form a bracelet. She slipped it over her wrist before her eyes began to dart from the clouds.

The trees shifted slightly in the breeze, gently moving back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. It was almost relaxing in a way. The trees could always bend, but they would never break. Relying on the calm pattern of the trees was relaxing.

"Hey, Cassandra."

The peace of the clearing broke in a cascade of thoughts falling back into her mind. Cassandra's blue eyes moved away from the trees and to the boy standing above her.

"Hey, Charlie."

He raised a dark eyebrow, gesturing to the bracelet. "Making more flowers, Flower Girl?"

Cassandra shrugged, a small smile on her lips. "May as well. It's a fashion statement, anyway."

Charlie's deep brown eyes looked a clear amber color in the light streaming in through the top of the clearing. His curly hair was growing longer again, but he always trimmed it by the end of the summer. He was larger than most kids at camp, even though he was only fourteen.

Good thing he was Cassandra's friend. Otherwise, he'd be rather scary-looking.

"Yeah," Charlie agreed with a snort. "Fashion statement."

Cassandra paused and then asked, "I have to go back now, don't I?"

He nodded. "I think you're going to want to see this yourself."
