Leena felt the edge of her bed depress and a hand touch her back. Her first thought was that it was one of her cabinmates, but than she heard Dravius' voice, and she froze. She slowly sat up, wiping the tears from her red face. "It's nothing, Dravius.", she said, her voice choked, her hands shaking.

"Nothing can be a pretty sad." Dravius responded, black eyes searching her face. He was genunly worried as he said, "Is it me and Juniper?" ((Phail.))
 "Never bring that horrid drink here again." "It tastes of blue, not the river-dwelling reptile, as I had thought." |

She turned away from the Posiedon boy, looking down. She nodded slightly and whispered, "Yes." She felt herself trembling all over, afraid of what he might say. She flashed back to when he had taken her underwater, and could not bear the fact that he had fallen in love with another camper.

((xD I'm waiting for annie/Zoey, but I'm glad Juni's not there. She'd prolly overreact and screw things up for her and Dravius. So she stays where she is right now. o3o))

Dravius placed his hand on Leena's back and said softly, "I'm sorry, Leena. I really am." His voice was tender and his touch gentle. "I really do love Juniper, and I think you should get out there and find someone perfect for you, because I'm NOT that person."

"I know.", Leena whispered, "I think I always have, since I saw the way you looked at her. I think I've known since then that the two of you were meant for each other. I just never accepted it." She sighed, shaking her head. "I've never had someone truly love me. I mean, I've had boyfriends before, but each one of them left me for someone else. I've been cheated on countless times. When I saw that you weren't like them, I think I got it into my head that you were the only person like that."

Dravius frowned and said slowley, "There are plenty of good people in this world, much better than me." He stood up and said again, "I'm really not a good person, Leena." Then he sat on the floor and traced the wood patterns with his fingers. "I did a lot of bad things before I came to camp. I was in a gang. It's not a good place to be.." His face was sad as he tapped his fingers on the ground.

"You? In a gang? I can't picture that.", Leena said, smiling slightly, "But, you say you did bad things? Like what? Does Juniper know?"

"Yeah, I did." Dravius sad quietly, hair covering his eyes. "I ran away from home after my mother nearly killed me. I drowned a few people, shot another. Couple'a years in juvi got me even angrier."

"Dravius...", Leena whispered, climbing off the bed and sitting next to her friend, "That's horrible... I could never imagine you doing any of those things..."

((Ooh! Drama! O_o)) Zoey couldn't help but notice what position her brother must be in right now though. He must be thinking that she hated him, for the less than welcome greeting he had recieved, and, when she thought about it, maybe she could used a new perspective on things right now. "Thank's Juni, I know you would." However, she thought that maybe she could use a new perspective on life right now, and she had to look at the bright side for a while. Really, there still was a chance that Hades would be merciful, and let Geoff stay here, with us. The thought in itself seemed to give her a little stength. "But Juni, I need to talk to him. I need him to know that im not mad at him, and that i'm okay." She rubbed at a dry tear that was making her face feel stiff, and then continued to whisper her thoughts to her friend. "I feel bad, because really he has gone through so much more than I have, and he is perfectly fine! H-he was always so nice and thoughful, and he doesn't deserve this. Any of it. He hasn't exactly recieved a warm welcome and I need to see him, to make sure that he understands why. Juni, wish me luck." She gave Juni a quick last hug, and then she stood and walked towards the door. She turned around, gave her friend a nervous smile, and left the cabin. Her mind told her to grin and bear it, but she thought a grimace would be fine too. She quietly crept up to the spot where her brother was standing, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She wondered if this still made him jump, or if dying had toughened him up. "Hi Geoff. I missed you." A large and new tear fell onto his shoulder, followed by another, and one more. "A lot."
Hi. Yeah. (Awkward silence much?)

Geoff smiled to himself as his sister embraced him, returning the hug and letting her cry out a little, knowing that this must be overwhelming. "And I missed you, Zo." He wasn't sure what else to do, so stood there holding his little sister in his arms, a warm feeling that she didn't hate him spreading through his limbs. Juniper emerged from his cabin, and Geoff caught her attention, mouthing "Thank you", and smiling. She nodded, and wondered what she should do. Dravius came into her head, and she looked in the Posiedon cabin, only finding a few of his siblings. A confused look spread across her face, and Juniper went in search of his voice. She made her way along the cabins, stopping at her uncle's, Apollo. Inside, Leena and Dravius were talking, to which Juniper softly lay an ear on the cabin. It wouldn't be a good time to walk in, she suspected, and waited to hear the topic.

Zoey smiled, her tears coming back in full blast. There was another question egging at her mind though. "Geoff," she hesitated, not wanting this to hurt his feelings. "Geoff, do you have any idea why you aren't dead?" She paused then added, "And are you staying here? For good?" The thought of him leaving again now already seemed unreal, and she hugged him tighter, wishing in her heart for the Gods take pity on their little family-type-thing.
Hi. Yeah. (Awkward silence much?)

((Juniper, you little sneak, you.)) "I know, right?" Dravius said, flopping onto his back and tapped his feet on the ground. "It was not a good time in my life. My Mom hauled me out here and dumped me just inside the barrier, then drove away."

((Why yes, yes she is. o3o)) Juniper listened eagerly, not sure exactly what his first comment was about, and wishing that she could have been there just minutes earlier. She had to admit, there was a little bit of an acidic jealousy in her stomach, since he had never told her any of this. Her eyes closed to enhance her hearing, because, as she had read once, when you weaken one sense, the others strengthen, and to stop and unwanted tears from coming. What had happened to Dravius before his mother had abandoned him?

"That's horrible, Dravius...", Leena whispered, "I'm glad that you're not like that anymore... Juniper and I would have never gotten to have the wonderful friend, boyfriend in her case, that we know now."

Geoff gently pushed Zoey away a little, so that she could see him grimly nodding his head at the first question. "Yeah, about a day or two before we were sent back, Hades was leaning on the intercom button, mumbling about "that wreched Olympus" in a weird voice, other than his own, and you could hear Persephone struggling in the background, as if she'd been tied up, then Hades yelled at her in the same voice, suddenly realizing he was being heard by all of the underworld. I think something was controlling him, and right before we were sent up, his normal, though extremely tired, voice came through the intercom telling us it was no longer safe down there and that he was sending us back." He stopped his two extremely long sentances there, sighing at the second line of questions. "I... Don't know, Zoey..."
