The Undoing of My Reality [UNDOING I]

Finally! Some Drama!

You would be shocked at how much doesn't happen at camp. Like, really shocked. It was cool at first, learning how to fight, shoot arrows, and climb walls. Hell, I even found capture the flag fun, which was saying something considering I literally fucking hate physical activity. Yet, after a while it just became another routine. It wasn't that I found it boring, don't get me wrong; But it did lose it's sparkle after the first month or so (and after I realized I suck at archery.)

After Leo and I decided to make like edgelords and swap our edgy Backstories, I found myself drawn to him in ways I didn't expect. I dropped by the bunker more often than I stopped by to see Oliver or Will. It wasn't like they didn't get it, but I was was used to not having them around, and I was slightly angry at them for not making an effort to contact me. Especially after I learnt what an iris message was.

"So you mean to tell me that you can communicate using any body of water?" I asked Oliver.

"Yes, that's correct. And a Drachma, which are easy to get." They replied, leaning back onto the tree.

"Then... Then why didn't you try to contact me in the three years you were gone?" My voice fell quiet. Oliver stared at me.

"I..." He couldn't answer. I glared daggers into him. Looking back, I could see the fear in his eyes as I burned him down with my gaze. "Luna-"

"You... You spent three years at a camp, and made no effort to contact me, you left me to rot knowing my... F-family life. You and Will... Why?"

"I didn't want to scare you! I assumed you were mortal!"

"I-I wouldn't have cared." I spat. "I'm hurt, you left me. You forgot about me."

"I'm sorry, Luna, please.." They tried to plead with me, but I didn't listen. I gave people plenty of second chances in the past. I'd need a minute to forgive those two.

I remember ranting to Leo after that, practically storming the bunker and just blowing off all the steam. He played along with my anger, uttering a few gasps and "no way!!" "Noooo.." "Really?" Like I was talking about gossip at school, and I'll admit, it really helped a lot. I talked fast when I was angry, and I was switching to Russian then back to English so fast that I'm surprised he even understood me at all; If he even did.

What shocked me about that day, though, was when Leo interjected with "Hey sleeping beauty? Your hands are glowing and you're kind of making me fall asleep."

I whipped my head around, and I could see him shrink back from the glare in my eyes. Apparently when your eyes are almost red, you look literally terrifying. Come on, Leo. I'm 5'2. I'm not scary.

But he was right. He looked like he was about to pass out, his voice was low from drowsiness and, sure enough, my hands were glowing a soft violet. I threw my hands up in defeat.
"I bet поздний аборт knew that too!" I tried my best to calm down. I really did, but I just couldn't. I didn't even register that I was the cause of the sudden drowsiness.

"Motherfucker relax.." Leo mumbled to me, barely being able to stay awake. "Relax."

I sighed. My hands stopped glowing, and he immediately seemed to look better. "S-so that's a thing I can do now, apparently?" I sat down. "You'd think i'd get a useful ability, but-"

"Oh shut up, that's so useful! You're more useful than I am." Leo interrupted my self deprication. Hey, I'm sorry, but who said you were the only one who hated yourself around here?

"You think you aren't useful..?" I asked him, utterly floored. Really? What in the absolute fuck, Valdez??? "W-what in- you-" I stopped myself for a minute. "You are making a whole ass dragon. You.. You are the only kid in your cabin, i-in camp who is not able to conjure fire, but you're also the only one immune to it. I'm not talking burn tolerance. You literally aren't hurt by fire-"
