A/N YES! FINALLY! A GOOD REVIEW RESPONSE! I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN! I'm such a spaz… enjoy! Oh, and check out my one shot! Its called "bubbly"! I have no reviews on it! If you value my sanity, review "Bubbly!"
Mara sang. Just sang. Whatever came to her mind. Marianas Trench, Taylor swift, Queen, Christina Perri, Glee, anything. She started to cry as she sang "Breathe".
Suddenly, she heard a noise in the woods. She took out her sword. See, she wasn't like a lot of the other campers when it came to fighting. She didn't really have a weapon specialty. She used daggers, swords, bows, darts, and she would often request special powders from the Hecate cabin, sometimes making them herself. She fought all over the place, it was just her style. She reached into one of her pockets. That was another thing she did. She didn't wear anything that didn't have tons of pockets. She reached in to her left pocket, and found a dart launcher. Judging by size, she had six deadly toxic darts (those were for monsters) three knockout darts (also for monsters, but sometimes used on Connor) four darts for temporarily petrifying, (For capture the flag) and a few that were so different she didn't know what they would do. She loaded her dart launcher with a knockout dart. That way, if it were a monster, she'd be safe. If it was Connor, she'd be laughing. Connor stepped out of the bushes, fast enough that she almost shot him. When she realized who it was, she stepped back, but kept it loaded to freak him out. "What do you want?"
"Gee I don't know, to apologize possibly?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well get over yourself. You seem to be under the impression that every girl on the face of the planet is going to fall into your arms the second you invite her. Well guess what? I seem to be a freak of nature, because that's certainly not what I'm going to do." She was sharp and fierce sounding, but he could see that she had been crying, and it didn't fool him for a second. From what he knew of her, when she pretended to be angry was when she was hurting the most. Like a cornered animal that knows it can't win, it masks its fear by trying to appear angry and dangerous. He softened his voice. "Mara, this is my fault. I know what you saw and heard, but do you know why I started dating her?"
Mara hesitated with the snappy comment she was about to make. She wanted to hear this. "Why?"
"To get over you. DO you know how many times I've asked you out since you got here? T-"
"Two hundred sixty-three times." She receited immeadietly.
Connor's smirk reapeared. "You kept track?"
Mara stuttered a little. "Well, I… I just didn't… Continue with the crummy exuse already!"
He held up his hands in surrender, but he couldn't wipe the smile off his face for a long time. "Okay. I asked you out that many times because I love you. Well, at first I just thought you were smoking hot, freaking gorgeous, and I thought you'd be the top of the line, considering I'd already dated the decent girls in this camp."
She blushed, and tried to mask it by scowling. "Reminding me of all your past one-night stands isn't the best way to make your point."
She sighed. "Look. I'm not gonna lie here. I love you. But I'm not forgiving you that easily. You say you know me? Here's a fun fact for you. My trust takes weeks to build, and seconds to rip down. And I've learned my lesson with you for a while. So remember this. For next time."
She walked out of the clearing and, when she thought he couldn't hear, said "Next time, don't give up on love."
Connor smiled. He would have her. She loved him. And he would have her, sooner or later.
Preferably sooner.
A/N I know, that wan't all the fluff I promised. But its coming! I swear to you! Oh, and in case you didn't read my profile, all my OC leading ladies are perfected versions of me. So, what do you think so far? REVIEW IF YOU VALUE MY SANITY.
