“someone who wants everyone to listen to them? do as they say - whenever they say, devil!” there was a small shrug of her shoulders. “those ares kids are mean, trying to out do each other - but not evil. drew just get’s on my nerves.”

“ i’ve been worried all my life , a nervous wreck most of the time . ”
@herbetrays
honestly, that shuts her up. rory only really started to feel that kind of panic and worry when she found out what she really was. up until that, she was pretty WELL-ADJUSTED. it wouldn’t be fair for her to try and relate, because she r e a l l y couldn’t. and, honestly, since she hated that fake sympathy crap that people gave her, she wasn’t about to act anywhere close to that towards madge.
so instead, she makes an offer. ❝ —hey, look, i was gonna get out of here and take pancake to the beach to get away from all of the CHAOS. you should come with us, if you want. i’m sure pancake would really enjoy the company. ❞

❝ What… what do you mean you can’t see? ❞
Being as oblivious as brick wasn’t a trait Eden was proud of, but it was true. And it was probably the reason she didn’t realize the girl was blind.
❝ Jesus, I’m so sorry, ❞ She stammered, an apologetic tone to her voice as her face got redder than a tomatoe. She really needed to get some sleep, because sleep deprivation was making her act even more dumb. She should’ve known when Rory asked for assistance with walking but Eden just assumed she was tired or wounded. ❝ I’m dumb like that, I apologize. ❞
❝ Here, let me take you there. Is there anything else I can do for you? ❞
on any other occasion, rory might have been annoyed at the change of interaction after eden found out that she was blind, but right now she was just EMBARRASSED because--- ❝ oh gods, no, i thought you knew. i’m so sorry, it’s just, i’ve been ❛ that blind girl ❜ since i got here a few days ago. ❞
this MIGHT have been the first time in her entire life that someone didn’t know she couldn’t see. she grew up in a little town where everyone knew everything about her, and at camp, word spreads like wildfire when it comes to the new kids. ❝ uh, yeah, if you could just get my clothes from cabin 30, that should be fine. i’m the only one in there right now, aside from my guide dog, pancake. ❞ this girl was probably exhausted, and asking her to stick around until she was done wasn’t fair of rory to ask. instead, she tacks on, ❝ oh, yeah, if you could just put his harness on and bring him back here, that would get you off the hook for the rest of the night. ❞

A daughter of Nyx?
Well, that was new.
❝ Oh, okay.❞ Eden was really curious about how a goddess like Nyx– not a goddess, a titan– managed to have a kid from a mortal but pushing Rory to talk about it or drown her with questions seemed a bit cruel. Especially when she looked like she was about to collapse.
❝ No, you’re not bleeding but you don’t seem really good either, ❞ Eden spoke with honesty, scanning the girl from head to toe for a second. ❝ Are you sure you’re alright? Because I can really take you infirmary, I’m sure Will won’t mind. ❞
❝ Yeah, of course. ❞ Eden held out her arm for Rory to hold on, just wanting to help the girl as much as she can.
❝ There is the showers, ❞ She pointed out when they arrived. ❝ Why don’t you take a shower and I get you clean clothes? ❞
HUH. well, rory felt okay. maybe just a bruise or two from falling, but nothing severe. ❝ there’s no need to wake him up, really, i’m okay. ❞ still, she couldn’t seem to figure out what eden meant when she said she doesn’t seem alright. maybe it was just dark out and she was confused or something. yeah, she’s gonna go with that.
okay, she’s heard people tell her things were ❛ right there ❜ or ❛ over here ❜ her whole life, so it didn’t really bother her. most sighted people are so used to saying things like that, but the information was rather useless in her case. clearing her throat, she replies, ❝ uh, i can’t SEE where ❛ there ❜ is. ❞

❝ Shadowtravel? ❞ Eden asked, her eyebrows raising with confusion. Only people she knew who could shadowtravel were Hazel and Nico. ❝ Are you a child of Hades? ❞
❝ Hey, hey, be careful! ❞ She jumped forwards when the girl seemed like she was going to fall, not touching her but waiting ready to do catch her if she did. ❝ Are you sure you don’t want to go the infarmary? I can call Will from Apollon cabin, you don’t seem really good. ❞
❝ Yeah, of course. ❞ Eden nodded when she said she wanted to go to showers, leading her through the way. ❝ By the way I don’t think I caught your name, ❞ She continued. ❝ I’m Eden. ❞
❝ hades ? no, my mother is nyx. goddess of the night. she’s WAY older and more powerful than... anyway, yeah. i can shadowtravel. ❞ of course, like the rest of her abilitites, she couldn’t control it. exhibit a being that they were standing in the woods in the middle of the night because of a nightmare.
❝ infirmary ? why, am i BLEEDING ? ❞ her hands scour her arms and face, trying to distinguish between mud and possible blood. ❝ oh, sorry, um, my name is rory. thanks. ❞
for a second, she can hear eden begin to move away, and panic rises in her throat and seeps through her lips in a strangled noise. ❝ HOLD ON, i can’t--- i need to hold on to your elbow. i-if that’s okay. ❞

When Eden heard the yellings, it was almost 03:00 and she was smoking at the roof of the Hecate cabin.
Last week had been pretty hectic for Eden. For unknown reason, some idiot were trying to resurrect dead people and unfortunately managing to accomplish it. since Eden’s mother was the goddess of necromancy, children of Hecate and Hades were dealing with the problem. And that meant, she was spending most of her time in the Hades’s kingdom with Hazel and Nico.
She waited a while, hoping yellings would stop and she’d happily continue to smoke but it didn’t happen. So Eden put out hee cigarette with a whiny groan, and left the rooftop to go out and find the source of the noise. It was past the curfew and if they kept yelling like that harpies would wake up… and the rest would be pretty messy.
“ Hey, what’s wrong?” She asked as she finally saw a silhouette in the dark, approaching her with a lazy, chill demeanor. “ You need to stop yelling my friend, or harpies are going to hear you and they have permission to eat the children who breaks the curfew rule, so… anyway. Can I help you?”
❝ OHMYGODS, ❞ she gasped, her head whipping around to the voice. ❝ yeah, uh, they wouldn’t eat me, i’m kind of a special case. i had a nightmare and i SHADOWTRAVELED and i don’t know where i am. ❞ arms still pushed out in front of her, rory takes a step towards the voice and stumbles a bit before correcting herself.
❝ could you maybe walk me back to the cabins ? or, actually, the showers ? i kind of fell a lot and it’s really muddy out here. ❞

@deeplovelywoods ❤
she wakes with a start, the DREAD and PANIC from a fresh nightmare rolling off of her in waves. it takes her a moment to realize that she’s not where she’s supposed to be. she’s still in the camp, but not in her bed. and pancake isn’t here either.
very slowly, rory stands up and puts her hands out, then begins to walk back towards where she thinks her cabin is supposed to be.
when TWENTY MINUTES go by and she still hasn’t found her way back, she begins to shout for help. at least a few campers had to be out past curfew, right ? all she can do is hope there’s someone nearby.
❝ hello ! can anybody hear me ? HELLO ?! ❞
