I watched people get up, their normal everyday routines flaring into a start. I waited until I saw at least half of the camp out and about until I got back up. I pulled my hood over my face as far as I could pull it, I pushed my hair in the farthest I could as well. My bed head was crazy, and my face was just nasty full once I got up. I put my hair down while I slept, and I had bags under my eyes all the time. I usually put on some makeup.

I put on amazing amounts of blush and put mascara on so my adorable glowing eyes could stand out even more. I also put on bright red lipstick and foundation that was pale white, [AN SORRY IF YOU DON'T KNOW FOUNDATION IS LIKE BLUSH BUT IF YOU KNOW WHAT AN ACNE MASK IS THE TEXTURE OF THAT] then put on a darling little necklace and a matching bracelet. [http://www.polyvore.com/purple_necklace_love_spell_glitter/thing?id=66874452 use your imagination for the bracelet heh heh heh :3] I nearly screamed as I realized what I was thinking, wasn't I supposed to be the daughter of the devil or something?

I shook my head and yawned as I walked back to my cabin. A few people waved to me and smiled, everyone was so nice here, like family. We are all almost literally family so it isn't hard to imagine them as my brothers and sisters. But I did like the ares kids a lot. The Aphrodite kids were kind of creepy... but they were nice to me for some reason. They kept asking about my necklace and bracelet when they saw it or asked how I did my makeup and hair.

I made it to my cabin and I saw my three siblings standing there arguing, they hadn't noticed my arrival yet but I doubted it would be a secret much longer. They were yelling at each other, blaming each other for something I didn't know of yet. But then Draco asked, "You think one of the Ares kids threw her in the lake?" Then I realized it, they were worried about me. "Well, hiya." They turned and I saw Penelope sigh, "Don't do that to us." Elektra said, I smiled and pulled off my hood. I heard Draco snicker and I sent him a glare, which shut him up good. Heh heh...

I sat on my bed and started brushing my hair, putting my every day hair tie around my wrist. Penelope sat beside me and started rambling on about what she was going to do today, the funny thing was it was Saturday and we didn't have any training or classes. Eventually I finished brushing my hair and tied my hair into a pony tail, my side bangs coming down in curls.

Penelope didn't stop talking, I wondered when she would ever stop for a slight second until I came upon the answer, once I left she would stop like a glass hitting the floor. I took my makeup bag out from under my bed and my hand mirror as well, then started at my makeup. My usual one hour routine of lipstick, mascara, foundation and blush.

Once I finished I shoved it all in the bag and then shoved it under my bed. I got up and opened the door to the cabin, Penelope walking behind me still talking.  she wasn't talking about herself, she stated asking me a surprising question, "When will you teach me how to put on makeup?" I stopped and felt her bump into my back. I turned and glared at her,she didn't drop her gaze or flinch. She wasn't lying or being sarcastic.

"You... you want makeup?" She nodded eagerly and my eyes widened. I groaned, "You look like your eight, take a rest with that question. Maybe when your like... twelve." She sighed but nodded, I knew from that small gesture she wouldn't break her promise for the world.

I ruffled her hair and she giggled, straightened it out and nudged me. She pointed to the corner of one of the cabins, I turned my head, my hood was down so it wasn't in the way of my sight, but it wasn't getting in the way of anyone else's sight either. Sure enough, there was a girl behind the Ares cabin spying on us. I tilted my head and turned my whole body, then slowly waved to the girl. I heard her cough then she waved back. I sighed and shook my head.

I knew the girl. Her name was Sam, short for Samantha, daughter of Ares. Very nice girl, nicer than most of the Ares kids. She was good with her sword given to her by her father, a black leather handle marking it hers, like mine but mine had a blade as white as the clouds. She had brown hair with a blond tint to it and orange edges, the orange matched her camp T-shirt. She had freckles spotting her cheeks and black and orange stripped painted nails, there was a punk/Gothic look to her. She had kind of a black-orange theme. She wore a camp T-shirt, as I just said, and black and orange stripped tights with tall black boots. She was someone you didn't want to make mad.

She walked over and I realized she did a little something-something to her shirt, she turned it into a dress! Most Ares kids were against that at all costs, but their mom wasn't a Halloween costume designer. And to her dress. It was tight on her torso then went to a school girl skirt style around her waist. There were black striped lining the skirt which I thought look good with it. I widened my eyes and shook my head. "You continue to surprise me, Princess." She snarled at me and Penelope slowly walked away.

"So, how is..." She broke into a coughing fit then continued like nothing happened. "The Hades brat doing?" I smiled and gave her a thumbs up as I walked to the forest with her. "Everyone here is so nice, even your siblings." I looked around, seeing a tree nymph talking to a satyr behind a tree. "Yeah, do not..." She started coughing again, "Get used to it, vamp." I raised an eyebrow at her but then she let out her weird cough-laugh. "I have been wondering, what happened to your voice? It cracks every now and then and your laugh... and you can barely talk!" She  nodded and sighed, which her sigh cracked and I saw her hold her through, fighting not to start coughing again. "When I was little... I had a cold that affected my vocal... cords and was put in bed for about a week... my friends tried to help me but they were just annoying. At the... end I didn't have anyone. I ran away about a year after then... got taken to camp." She took breaks in between some of her words to either hold her through and fight back a cough or to start coughing like a man in the middle of dying.

"My apologies." I whispered, she smiled, I waited for her usual stupid remark but there was none. I smiled back and then she broke the silence. "We should go get breakfast." I nodded and we walked back in silence. Mostly because I was afraid of hearing her frail voice, it sounded like she was on the verge of death.

hey nightmares. I lied. I updated. I feel like I accomplished life. :3 anyways... my friends asked if I had a other fanmade character I had thought of, and it was SAM! Actually her original name was Aj but I changed it because I know by then I would start making her Aj lee (Google her I am way to lazy to tell you who she is...) when she is actually supposed to be a version of me. notice the cold she had in her childhood was like the one I just had... well except now I still have my friends. Well another fault in her is my hair only looks blond when light is shining on it, her actually looks like it has blonde highlights. Remember to comment, I always appreciate it. Now... find some peace my nightmares x3
