A 4 year old named Charlotte is out to get me. It's true! She is my best friend's little sister. And every time I go to my friend's house this little girl, Char we call her, will throw open the door and growl at me and say "JASMIN!" then she commences to tickle/punch me. I mean, don't get me wrong, its adorable! But her growls and scowls are terrifying! She eventually will stop and sit in my lap or braid my hair but when morning comes…."JASMIN!" and more growling. I even have to pick her up and spin her around. She just laughs. So, do any of you out there have any idea how I can defeat this adorable 4 year old before she kills me with her power of cuteness! If so, tell me! I'm thinking donuts or other various forms of sugary goodness will save my life! It shall be my medusa's head! Hahahaha "And so she was stopped with the power of pastry!" It just may work…..

Disclaimer-Seriously? No. Just no. No.

Jade swept her eyes over the people who formed a circle on the silk sheet flooring with a smile spread across her face, hissing laugher bubbling in the back of her throat but not escaping without Jade's permission and she did not allow it. She preferred to stay emotionless as possible. She would allow a smile but not laughter. That a weakness to far for forgiveness. A sin that could not be cleaned without painful blisters left as memory's token. A smile was all she would allow. For it was her weapon while she thought. She had not yet formed her weapon of dare nor truth nor the victim they would be unleashed upon but the smile gave their hearts fear. Fear was her best weapon. Fear made for better sport. And, even if that made her sick inside with herself, it amused her even still. It was her game to play and there were no rules for how she was to play it.

She rested her gaze on one of the new people in the circle. A girl much taller and stead-fast than herself with black hair that shined like the ocean lit by the full moons light and the grey eyes of a freshly polished blade of iron. Yet she did not know the girl's name because, as it were, the girl was new. So Jade pointed to her with her short, scarred finger.

"You. What is your name?" The girl's grey eyes drifted half shut in a scrutinizing look.

"Erin." Yes Jade recalled now, she was titled Erin. Quick with wits and stock with sea power. Legs long and sword longer. The perfect ally and an even worst enemy. Jade liked this girl. Her glare was perfectly terrifying and her face only emotionless enough to tell you she felt very deeply. A good ally indeed.

"Erin. Truth or Dare?" The corner of Erin's mouth lifted into a smile.

"Who do you think I am? Dare." Good. The girl felt brave. That would make for better sport as well.

"I dare you to…." Jade paused to think of a dare. It had to be something good. Something entirely devilish yet not to outlandish. Something that would make the girl angry and embarrassed at the same time but not spiteful towards Jade. What could do that? Then it hit Jade. The perfect dare. Oh it was so horribly lovely, so dreadfully wonderful, so deliciously malevolent it was bound to be the best thing Jade could conjure the rest of the night.

"I dare you to streak through the camp-"

"WHAT! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Jade smiled a sweet evil smile and folded her hands in her lap politely.

"I'm not finished yet thank you very much. I dare you to streak through the camp, right up the steps of the Big House, and to your parents where you will ask them to buy you new clothes." There was a silence in which Erin stared at Jade slack jawed in shock while Jade just smiled right back.

"I like this dare." Nate broke through the silence like it was thin ice, grinning ear to ear. Kiley grabbed a handful of marshmallows and chucked them at his head.

"That's my sister perv. You don't get to watch." Nate plucked one of the fluffy, sugary projectiles out of the air and tore a huge bite out of it then he pointed it at Kiley like it was a gun.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before." Kiley clapped her hands over ears.

"Again, my sister! Yuck! I could have went years and years and years without having to hear that!" Nate, grinning, finished off his marshmallow with one gigantic bite.

"And a delicious sight at that."

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww," Kiley hugged her knees to her chest, gagging, "Scarred for life. I'm scarred for life. The images are just to disgusting. I think I'm going to be sick!" Erin pouted, which was the first face she had finally made after staring blank faced at Jade so long.

"Nate! Your broke my sister!" He shrugged before leaning back on the sheet so his head would be lying in Erin's lap. Unconsciously she started running her fingers through his thick hair, twisting it around them like long, fleshly curlers.

"She'll get over it, he could have said much worst. That was nothing." Melina, the cabin leader of Aphrodite, popped off. It seems she had finished Jenny's nails and was very engrossed in the game. Eager to get it started off and, in her mind, this was a very good kick off. "Now would you get on with your dare! Very nice by the way Jade, I'm very proud. My props to you Dove." Jade tensed all over.

"Melina…." Jade warned, the tone in her voice both deadly and pain ridden.

"I'm sorry. It's just…..it's such a lovely name!" Jade looked so hurt it made Kiley want to check if she had been stabbed. She was sitting close enough to Kiley that Kiley could feel the girl quaking. Her body heat warming Kiley's skin as it had got hotter. There was something connected to that name that made Jade this way.

"Melina," Jade had dropped her head like someone three times her size was pushing on the top of it, forcing her to stare at the sand, " I told you my name out of confidence and faith. I have given you the title of friend and, please, I ask you to hold the title and be one?" Melina was obviously displeased, chewing at her lip and growling quietly under her breath, but she nodded.

"I'm sorry Jade. Won't happen again. Now," She turned on Erin, looking her up and down, "You have a dare to complete or are you going to chicken out? 'Cause we have strict punishments for those who chicken out." As if to prove her point Melina reached behind her and produced a bag full of paint. Glue. A couple permanent markers. A pair of scissors. And the scarcest object there, a water bottle full of purple-ish yellow liquid. It was just a guess on Erin's part, but she guessed those were the punishments. She ran her hands through her long, soft hair while eying the scissors carefully. She was very protective of her hair and those scissors looked like they could pose a problem. Never the mind, they meant nothing to her because she wasn't a quieter.

"Oh put your bag away Aphrodite, you wont be needing it. I got this. I'm just thinking about how long I'm going to be grounded for this," Erin stood up, knocking Nate's head of her lap as she did, and started unfixing her belt, "I can hear it now 'Erin Jackson, what are you doing promoting your body like a billboard! I thought we raised you better than this! Your grounded!' That will be the end of my social life for about a month or two," Erin cast her belt off to the side then knelt down to unfasten her chucks while continuing to grumble, "Then I'll be like 'But mother, father you have to understand! It was just a game!' Pshhhh that won't save me." Once Erin had her shoes off she started to work her shorts off her hips, trying to ignore the fact that everyone was staring at her. The consuming redness and ever present heat growing on her cheeks was not helping that matter. "Nope wont save me. Mom will drop her head and Dad will be like 'Oh daughter of mine, how could you do such things? Next we know you will be pregnant! What a sad day this will be' The horror." Her shorts went to the ground a little ways off, where she threw her shirt after she slipped it off. She was standing there practically naked in front of total strangers, her boyfriend, her boyfriends brother, and her sister. This was certainly one of the worst days to decide to get out of bed. She felt extremely self-conscious of her image all the sudden.

" This is so….weird. I'm not enjoying this." Kiley shook her head, very displeased. Where as Nathan was having himself a good ol' time.

"I am! I can enjoy it for the both of us if you want Kiles?" Kiley screamed in frustration, slamming her fist into the sand while giving him the best your-so-freaking-annoying-I-want-to-kill-you look. He shrugged and reached out to touch Erin's now exposed stomach but Kiley slapped his hand back, pointing a stern finger at him.

"Bad Nate! Stop being so….so…infuriating!" He laughed at her but wasn't looking at her when he did. He had his eyes for Erin and Erin alone at the moment. She was his eye candy. It was making Erin want to both slap him and giggle at the same time.

"If I may," Airabella said, an amused expression spread across her features, "I think it's rather healthy he enjoys seeing his woman naked. Am I right?"

"Very true. Makes for a long lasting relationship." Melina concurred nodding her head approvingly.

"It's cute too. I encourage him." Melanie said, nodding along with Melina.

"It's better that he wants to jump all up in her game when she strips than him being disgusted when she does that, wouldn't you agree Kiley?" Amber said it like she was on a judge panel. In fact, all three of the girls who had agreed with Bella had sounded that way. All of them related to some love god. Kiley rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. Erin, further yourself the rest of the way nude and destroy your reputation."

"What reputation? I think I destroyed that." Nate said winking at Erin.

"Enough of you or I will duck tape your mouth shut!" Nate and Kiley bickered back and forth which created the perfect distraction for Erin to gather her wits and take the rest of her clothing items (she didn't like the words bra or panties, she always referred to them as clothing items) off. She threw them at Nate just to make Kiley get all fidgety because she was uncomfortable. Nate tucked them in his pockets and very proudly declared she wouldn't be getting them back. That made Kiley glare at him all the more, she even threw a flip flop she had stolen off Blaze's foot at him. It hit him right in the nose which satisfied her greatly. Although she had to promise Blaze a new pair of flip flops just because she was to lazy to get up and retrieve her flip flop before the ocean ate it up.

"It's a rather odd yet invigorating feeling to be naked in front of tons of people." Erin mumbled, tapping her belly button with the tip of her index finger. Jade laughed, which made everyone stop and stare. She scorned herself immediately. She had exposed a weakness! To much emotion! Now they-

"Your laugh is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute Dove!" Melina squealed, tackling Jade in a hug. Jade sighed like she was exasperated with the daughter of Aphrodite.

"Melina!" Now Jade sounded like she was a little sister being annoyed by her older sister. It made Kiley wonder what the relationship was between the two girls.

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to call you Dove but your laugh, sooooooo effing adorable. Back to naked woman! Be brave!" Melina pounded her chest with her fist a couple times before giving Erin the peace sign with the same fist. Erin laughed lightly but her heart wasn't all the way in it because she was shaking. She was nervous. Normally when she was nervous she had Nate give her a hug and hold her for a while. That usually helped but…..she looked down at his eager face. His boyish smile at staring at her. She didn't think now would be a good time for that. He might get the wrong idea. So she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to steady herself. She could do this. She was already butt naked.

She turned swiftly and started walking towards her destination. The wind that caught her bare flesh seemed a bit more cold now that she wasn't covered. Like Jack Frost himself was touching her with his ice hands. That made her uncomfortable. She didn't like the thought of any other man but Nate touching her in this state, even if the man she felt was touching her wasn't really a man. Though she would never admit that to him, it would feed his ego far to much. She decided that it was best to ignore everything as she walked. Ignore the people at the basketball court staring at her. Ignore the boy that just ran into his cabin because he was watching her instead of watching where he was going. Ignore the steps of the Truth or Dare Crew following close behind. Ignore the fact that she had reached the Big House and was standing in front of her parents and her parents friends naked. Wait, hold on, what was that last one!

Annabeth's eyes went wide and she choked on whatever she was drinking. Thalia had burst into laughter but was also hitting Annabeth on the back to help out with the choking. Percy immediately turned his head, as did all the men in the room. Most of them anyway. The ones that didn't got socked in the arms by their wives then turned.

"Erin what…what…what is the meaning of this!" Annabeth managed once she had cleared her airway of her drink.

"What is this, the 1700's? No one says that anymore Annabeth."

"Thalia! Not helping!"

"Sorry. Erin maybe you should tell your mom why your naked in public?" Erin cleared her throat, nodding.

"Right, um," She glanced back at the Truth or Dare Crew all peaking their heads through the doorway to watch, "I…Will you guys buy me new clothes? I absolutely despised those others." Annabeth blinked a few times. Did she hear her daughter correctly? She looked to Thalia for confirmation who just shrugged.

"Honey, you know, usually when one wants new clothes they keep the ones they have on until they can get new ones….." Annabeth scanned her daughter's nudity uncomfortably.

"Um, yeah, I know but I hated these one's so much I couldn't stand to wear them anymore. So you'll get me new ones?"

"Just clothe her Annabeth!" Percy yelled, banging his head on the couch. Annabeth laughed, which sounded like it was being strangled, and stood to grab her wrist.

"Come with me to my cabin, we'll see if any of my old clothes fit you 'till we can buy you new ones." Annabeth started pulling her towards the door then stopped and held out her hand. Percy walked over to her, keeping his eyes off Erin like she was Medusa and would turn him to stone, and put a blanket in her outstretched hand. Once Annabeth had a grip on it she threw it around her daughter to shield her nakedness, wrapping it tightly around her. Then she just stared Erin in the eyes.

"Your so your father's daughter." She said shaking her head.

"What's that supposed to mean!" Erin yelled while her mother dragged her to the Athena cabin. Meanwhile the Truth or Dare Crew had moved from the doorway and were walking back to the beach.

"That was so bogus man," Jade complained, "It hardly fazed them! Totally ruined the dare." Kiley kicked a rock, which happen to hit Nate. That made her happy. She was still pissed at him. Though she wasn't really sure why.

"I could have told you that. They are used to us doing weird stuff like that. Once Erin and I wore paper bags on our heads and ran around the mall screaming "THEY ARE COMING! THE ALIENS ARE COMING!" while mom and dad chased after us apologizing. Hahahaha, good times. It would have had way more affect if you had dared her to wear a really pretty dress and be polite."

"Don't listen to her," Nate said with his hands shoved in his pockets as he walked, "It was the perfect dare. I loved it." To this everyone laughed. Except Kiley of course. She folded her arms and pouted. Brennion shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning down to talk in her ear.

"Lighten up babe. It's not like it would be any different if it was you that was dared to do that. Men are horny bastards. Get used to it." He laughed at his own joke. Trenton, Bowden, Ronny, and Nate all nodded in agreement.

"Oh gee, that makes me feel so much better!" Kiley rolled her eyes, socking Brennion in the ribs while they walked. Melina and Melanie both held outstretched hands to Kiley like they wanted her to grab them.

"Come on hun," Melanie said, "You can walk with us."

"To much testosterone back there," Melina added which made Melanie nod in agreement (those two always agreed with each other it seemed and they had just met!), "It will make any woman sick." Kiley grinned, finally finding something funny, and moved faster to walk between the two of them. Blaze was laughing with Airabella and Jenny over something and Amber had meandered over to Melina and Melanie. While the guys had formed a little pact of men behind the girls.

"Still," Jade popped up next to Kiley as they were walking, the sheets in the sand much closer now, "I'm still mad it had so little affect on them!" Kiley grinned and ruffled Jade's jade hair. It was cold to the touch. Like, ice cold. It threw Kiley off balance for a second. Confused. But she shook it off and came back to reality.

"Yeah um…" Whatever she was going to say faded away into the sandstorm of her mind, lost in the wind forever. She'd never remember. It didn't matter much anyway because they had reached the head-quarters of the Truth or Dare Crew. Every one reassumed the positions they had been in before on the silk sheets. Ariel had sat next to Jasmin this time though, Oliver and Dean close by them. They were targeting and attacking the salt water taffy. That and Bowden had suddenly become more cheerful. Enough to be chatty with the other boys. Blaze rolled her eyes at him and crawled across the sheets to sit between Airabella and Jade. Melina had seized control of Kiley's head somehow and was braiding her hair into pigtail braids like Amber's hair which pleased Amber. Basically they were just wasting time until Erin showed up because it was her turn. They couldn't keep playing until she showed. Luckily it didn't take long because soon they saw Erin's slim figure casually strolling towards them barefoot in a pair of worn jeans and an orange camp shirt. She folded her legs under her when she sat next to Nate, looking at him long and hard.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" She had no reply for him. She simply held her hand out. That brought a smile to his face.

"No. Your not getting them back."

"Why? You plan on wearing them later? No offence babe, but purple's not really your color." That got a laugh or two. Nate blushed fiercely.

"NO! I'm not going to wear them!" Erin leaned closer to him, touching her lips to his but making sure not to kiss him.

"Then give. Them. Back." He shook his head, protecting his pocket with his beefy man hand. Erin sighed, defeated.

"Fine. Who's turn is it?" Nate raised his eyebrows, surprised she had given up so easily. But as soon as he thought he had won he knew he hadn't. That just meant she would attack later. He had to be ready and alert.

"It's yours." Blaze said, trying not to laugh at Nate looking at Erin through squinted eyes like she was the school yard bully trying to steal his lunch money.

"Mine? Wonderful. Let me see here…" She knew who her target was. That was all planned out and ready to roll. She just didn't have a dare or truth if that's what the victim so desired.

"Sis, Truth or Dare?" Kiley flinched. Erin had caught her off guard.

"Ummmmm…..dare?"

"Very brave dear twin of mine, very brave. But at what cost?"

"Stop that. It's not funny. Just tell me my dare."

"In good time sis. Lets enjoy the painful wait."

"Erin!"

"Alright fine! I dare you to spray paint your name on the Ares cabin!" The group exploded in laughter and praise for Erin's magnificent dare. Kiley stood, plucking a piece of candy out of one of the bowls, and worked on chewing it while glancing around the cabins in the dark distance.

"Which one is the Ares cabin?"

"I dunno." Erin replied truthfully.

"Where's the spray paint?"

"Don't have any."

"Your stupid Erin."

"And your jealous Kiley."

"They always are." Jasmine agreed.

"If its spray paint you need," Jenny said grinning wickedly, "The Hermes cabin is stocked up on it. You get either neon green or neon yellow. Which do you want? I'll go get it for you."

"You have neon spray paint?"

"Yup. And it literally glows in the dark. Its freaking amazing."

"Alright. The yellow. And I'll come with you so you can show me where the Ares cabin is."

"Coolio. Truth or Dare Crew, move out!" A few minutes later Kiley had a cold metal can pressed into her palm and was shoved toward a blood red cabin decorated with snapped spears, dented shields, broken blades, and a boar head. She shook the can a few times, flinching every time the little piece of plastic inside the paint clanged against the can. This was the first time she had defaced someone's property other than Brennion's. It was a tad bit thrilling. She stepped closer the side of the cabin, looking through the window to see a good 15 or 20 people inside, then preformed her task. She sprayed in long arcs, thick lines of glowing yellow appearing. Her K curled at the edges and her Y drug under name like a tail. She even spray painted a heart behind her name, like the name had been in the heart but had broken through the soft flesh. Then, just to be a brat, she ran around and left the can on the doorstep. Knock, knock, knock on the door and the Truth or Dare Crew was speeding though the cabins for their life and collapsed on the silk sheets all without even being caught by the cabin of the war god.

"Very nice sis." Erin winked at her sister. Erin got food thrown at her. Kiley was gaining the bad habit of throwing things tonight.

"Whatever it's my turn. I want revenge."

"Bring it." Erin sat on her knees, eager for a battle between siblings.

"But it wont be on you. Trenton, Truth or Dare?" Airabella was laughing so hard she fell over gripping her sides. Blaze looked worried for her new friends mental health, touching her forehead as if to check for a fever.

"What have I done to you Kiley!" Trenton was pouting.

"Nothing, I just wanted to take my revenge on you instead of Erin. Now, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare I suppose." He grumped, folding his arms. Kiley leaned across the sheets and buried her hands in his silver hair. Kiley didn't see it but Brennion tensed and balled up his fist at the sight of her touching another man. Not that it mattered, she wasn't flirting with him. She was being a bitch and messing with him. Her favorite game with Trenton. Those two were always messing with each other. It's how their friendship survived.

"I dare you to dye your hair blue." He tried to pull away but Kiley had an iron grip on his hair.

"There will be no running away. I will dye your hair blue. Unless, your scared?" She grinned with a seductive wickedness. That only made him more mad. Which, of course, was why she had done it. He pulled her hands out of his hair, throwing them back at her.

"So be it. Go get your dye harpy. But this will be avenged." While the Truth or Dare Crew gathered the supplies needed to desecrate Trenton's hair, Amber was having a meltdown. It killed her to think that someone was going to ruin his hair. As it was she had nearly chewed through her lip when Kiley had touched his hair. She had wanted to do that since the first moment she had met him. And, as much as it angered her, she did not want them to touch his hair. She wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and protect him from their vicious claws. But she couldn't because then it would look like she cared for him and she didn't of course. Pshhhh, that would just be absurd. Yet as she looked at him sitting there with his hands folded in his lap, his chin held high, as he patently and bravely awaited the group to return to dye his hair her heart thudded in her ears. Her lip began to quiver and she was restless. She couldn't watch this. Where had everyone gone anyway? Had they all left save Trenton and herself? Glancing around she seen that they had.

"Amber? Are you alright?" She left her mental storm long enough to see Trenton looking at her with big worried eyes. She gulped air, her mouth suddenly very dry with his gaze so fixed on her.

"Um yeah," It was hard to talk to him, harder than convincing a child of Aphrodite that love doesn't exist, "It's just, your acting like you don't even care that they will dye your hair blue! Blue for gods sake!" His laugh was a little louder than a whisper.

"I don't mind much really. See my hair," he touched it as if to confirm it was still there, "has magic in it. When I was born my hair was black like Bella's but our mother, Hecate, accidentally touched my forehead and it caused my hair to turn completely silver. My eyes too. So when they put the blue in, the magic will eat it up. When I wake up in the morning it will be silver again-your looking at me like you don't believe me. Here, I can prove it. Touch my hair." Amber yelped. He wanted her to touch his hair? Was he nuts! If she did that…..no way. No. Don't tell yourself that Amber, she begged her thoughts to stray away from that possibility. She could touch his hair and it would have no affect on her because she didn't like him. She would prove it. Right now.

She reached out tenderly and touched her finger tips to his hair. Almost as soon as she touched it her whole body felt warmer. Fire had taken in her belly and burned through her body quickly. Yet her skin felt ice cold. She was wearing an armor of ice with a fire inside it.

"That's the magic channeling through you. That feeling of freezing yet burning to death. It's why I don't like people touching me. Because when they do, it gives me away you know?" Amber nodded slowly, her fingers slowly burring themselves in his fine hair without her consent. She had no idea how much her body was attracted to him because her mind was numbed with the ice fire his hair was burning her with. There was no realization that she was gripping a hand full of his hair and was pulling him towards her. No notice of how much he enjoyed her pulling his hair or how he was smiling because she was pulling him closer to her lips. She didn't even notice her stomach twisting in anticipation nor the burning desire overpowering her logical thinking. She didn't notice this, that is, until she heard footsteps. Then it all hit her like a smack in the face. She squeaked, not able to scream because of how the desire had choked her, and threw him away. He fell back in the sand, blinking rapidly, glancing around him as if he woke from a trance.

"Hey we're back! Found the stuff," Kiley walked onto the sheets and sat down with everyone falling in behind her, a box in her hand "You ready Trent?" He motioned her to get on with it. The next few minutes was spent dying Trenton's hair. Melina and Melanie helped Kiley, since Kiley had never dyed hair before. Ultimately it came out just fine. Kiley was very pleased with her work and Trenton had a head of bright blue hair. Amber was breathing heavily from the experience, on the verge of tears staring at his ruined hair.

"Alright Trent," Bowden said, trying not to laugh at his hair, "It's your turn now." Trenton was squirming, itching his head.

"It feels fake. It's making me sick." He was talking about the dye although no one but Bella understood that much.

"What? Oh stop complaining." Kiley grinned at him. He continued to mess with his hair.

"Kiley, I should have said something before," Bella said touching her brother's hair then yelping and pulling her hand back, "His hair is his magic source. Not source so much, more like….where it is drawn form, where it sleeps. Mine is in the palms of my hands, that's why I wear gloves a lot. Because where our magic is dormant, is the most sensitive part of our body. To dye his hair would by like to dye the water in a fishes fish tank."

"Oh crap. I didn't kill him did I?"

"I dunno. Trent, you gonna die?" He frowned, looking at his stomach like it was a foreign part of him.

"No. But….I'm going to be sick." Without another word he got up and stumbled into the surf. From there he went on to throw up. Amber really was crying now. Hot tears rolling down her cheeks but she made sure no one saw. She hugged her knees to her chest and pressed her face to her thighs. She didn't move from that position until he came back from being sick, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Feel better?" His sister asked in a half sarcastic half caring sort of way.

"A little. So let me think here," He glanced around at everyone present, checking their faces to match the names he had in his head, "Jasmine. Truth or Dare?" Jasmine had her head rested on her sister's shoulder, her eyes closed, not really paying any attention to anything until he had said her name.

Without opening her eyes she said, "Dare."

"I dare you to," He glanced at the boy Oliver sitting close to Jasmine, his eyes watching her every move. He had noticed this all night. Trenton, though no one guessed this about him, was someone who profiled people by watching them. He didn't speak much because he learned about them by watching them. And he had noticed that Oliver had eyes for Jasmine. And she for him. Yet they never made contact, didn't speak all that much to one another, were nervous around one another. Clear signs that they liked each other. That would be his dare, it was perfect. "I dare you to sit in Oliver's lap while he is wearing nothing but his boxers for the rest of the game." Both of them blushed so red it looked like their faces had been caught on fire.

"What? Bu-bu-but…." Jasmine glanced over at Oliver who was trying to keep his eyes off her.

"Are you saying your forfeit the dare?" Melina started reaching for her bag of torment.

"No! No, no. I'm not. Olie, um, strip please." Oliver glanced around nervously then for some odd reason he touched his ribs. He begged Jasmine with his eyes to not make him do this. She looked away, avoiding his gaze as best she good. She had never given up and she never would. But….poor Oliver. He sighed and whispered, "It's your desire then it's my wish" He started with his shoes, combat boots, pulling the laces out of the spare eyes to loosen the leather enough to pull them off. Then his pants. He slipped them off slowly as if it pained him. He seemed to wait, his hands gripping the material of his shirt, trying to steel his nerves before he did. Glancing at Jasmine he found his motivation and his fear all in the same and pulled it off. Everyone gasped as he had expected. They saw a blotched piece of skin on his ribs. A scar from being burnt. It covered his ribs on one side, marring the perfection of his Greek body.

"Oliver…" Jasmine went to touch it but Oliver seized her wrist.

"Don't." Was all he said before sitting down and pulling Jasmine down with him, settling her in his lap like she was made to fit there. She acted as the perfect shield for his scar and kept him warm too. She felt awkward, having everyone stair at her as he looped his arms around her waist and rested his forehead on her back but she figured it as her punishment for being the one to make Oliver have to show his scar to everyone. It clearly made him uncomfortable.

"Right," Ariel said trying to draw the attention away from them, "That was all nice and awkward. Now Jazz, it's your turn."

"I know, I'm just thinking," She was going to get revenge on Trenton for him doing that to Oliver. While he had guessed about Jasmine liking Oliver she too had figured something out about him. How he liked Amber. It was incredibly obvious. And that was how she was going to get her revenge.

"Trenton Truth or Dare?" He narrowed his eyes at her, trying to profile her.

"You have hard feelings?"

"A little. What will it be? Truth or Dare?" He detested her with a glare.

"Dare." This made her smile. He had fallen right into her trap.

"I dare you to kiss Amber." Amber screamed and shot Jasmine a pleading look. Amber and Jasmine had always gotten along pretty well, they could even have been considered friends, so it hurt Jasmine a little to see Amber looking so betrayed by this but hey, revenge wasn't sweet. Trenton had went completely rigid staring at Amber like she was the golden apples guarded by a great dragon. She sat there waiting for him to do the thing that would shatter every mental defense she had set up against him. Him just leaning close to her was enough to make her breath short and raspy, her pulse quicken and her body scream for his touch. Closer and her stomach knotted and the desire returned, fueled and more aggressive this time. Then his lips pressed against hers.

The feeling of being lit alight with ice returned but all the more present this time and not caused by magic. He, himself, made her feel that way. She was sure he had only meant the kiss to be quick and painless but he lingered there. Loving the present as it were. She pressed the tips of her finger tips to his jaw to try to deepen the kiss. He, of course, allowed it. His response being to wrap his arms around her small waist and pull her against himself. It was the best feeling she had ever felt being in his arms with his lips and body pressed against her own. It was a fact in her mind that things either would have stayed this way for a very long time or gone further if someone hadn't cleared their throat. Her eyes flew open and almost immediately she realized what she had done. The pushed away from each other at the same time and both looked the other way form each, both blushing furiously. Everyone in the Truth or Dare Crew were smiling foolishly.

"That was sooooooo cute!" Melina squealed.

"They were so about to sneak off to a cabin for some alone time." Melanie informed Melina. Melina mouthed the words Are you serious! Melanie nodded knowingly.

"I knew it." Jasmine said, completely satisfied with the turn of events. Oliver smiled secretively, deciding that this was revenge enough for Trenton making him strip in front of everyone.

"Yeah whatever," Trenton's voice was thick and husky, he hoped that clearing his throat would clear that away with it, "It's my turn now. Jade Truth or Dare?" The impish girl looked up from the sand at him.

"Seeing as no one has chose Truth yet, truth." Trenton hadn't really thought of anything when he had asked Jade that. He had just said a random name and thrown the words for the game after it to get attention off Amber and himself. So he really had no idea what to say from there. As quick as he could he racked his brain for something to say. That was when he remembered Melina calling her something that had made her seize up.

"Why did you freak when Melina called you Dove?" Jade's eyes went wide and she started to breath heavily. Melina sobered up immediately and started shouting at Trenton. Screaming things like "None of your business" and "Leave her alone!" Jade simply placed her tiny hand on Melina's arm.

"Calm down Melina, it's alright."

"B-but-"

"No it's fine. It's my real name. Dove McKendrick." Everyone seemed a little confused at that.

"Then if it's your real name," Ronny questioned, "Why do you hate it so much? 'Cause personally I think it's a beautiful name for a chick."

"Um thanks I guess?" He shrugged, "Yeah no, I like the name too. It's really not the name per say but more like what the name holds."

"I don't follow." Ariel said, a few others nodding in agreement with her. Jade sighed which made Melina flinch.

"My father….he gave me the name. He said 'Dove for my Dove, the beautiful little bird.'"

"That's so sweet…" Blaze whispered.

"I thought so too. I meant so much to me because I loved my Dad so much. I was really proud of my name. I would boast about it all the time. But then…." There were tears in Jade's eyes when she paused to look at the sand again. Melina leaned over and hugged Jade tight. Which was strange because as small as Jade was, it looked like Melina was hugging a little kid. It made Kiley randomly wonder how old Jade actually was. Jade flinched but excepted the hug, turning her head and hiding it in the crook of Melina's neck. Melina put her hand on the back of Jade's head like a mother would if their child was crying on them.

"Okay what is going on? I don't understand why Jade is so broke up!" Bowden threw his hands into the air as he said it exasperated. Melina glared at him. She really was like a protective mother.

"My father," Jade's voice was a bit muffled because she refuse to pick her head up from Melina's neck, "He was killed. In a car crash when I was 9. On my 9th birthday actually. He was coming home from work when it happened. He had bought me a Dove as my gift. They know that because they found it dead in a twisted cage in the wreckage. That's why I hated my name so much. I blamed it for killing my father. Later of course I got over that and decided I just couldn't hear the name without thinking of my dad. So I cast it away. I became nameless. Until Melina found me living on the streets, only surviving as a thief. I was twelve then, six years ago. She started calling me Jade and I let that be my name. I only recently told her my real name, she loved it to but I told her not to call me it because…well you all know why now. So now that we've gone over this I believe it's my turn. And don't call me Dove or I'll slit your throat and if you don't believe me remember my mother is the goddess of revenge and keep it in mind." Everyone stared at her silently. Melina cradled her even when Jade tried to pull away. Both questions Kiley had previously asked silently had been answered. The relationship between Jade and Melina was that Melina had saved Jade from her own self caused despondency and Jade was 17 years old. How very interesting.

"Melina you can let go of me now."

"No I can't."

"Augh. Fine. Bowden Truth or Dare?" Bowden had been caught off guard. He wasn't paying attention to anything after Jade's story. Hearing that had made him wonder what it would be like to lose the person he loved the most. He had been an orphan so he never knew his birth mother and obviously had never met his godly father. The only person he had ever had his whole life was Blaze. Would he abandon his name for her? Yes. That was an easy one. He'd abandon everything for her. He'd walk in the light just to remember her even if it hurt him. What a horrible thought.

"Hmmmm? Oh Truth I guess." Blaze's fingers laced around his, his palm immediately heating up. Blaze was always hot and not the stereotypical hot as in looks but a literal hot. Bowden had always wanted to crack an egg on Blaze's belly because he wanted to see if it would cook. She was that hot. Hot enough that when she leaned against him he felt like he had a fever.

"How did you and Blaze meet? 'Cause you guys were at camp before I got here and you two were already together. I always wanted to know but have never asked before." Bowden felt Blaze grip his hand. This was one of her favorite stories. He thought over the story first, recounting each detail in his minds eye before he spoke it. It was important to say things in your head first.

"We grew up in an orphanage together," Listening to him speak the crowd realized his voice was smooth as sand stone and crisp as fresh lettuce, it was enticing to hear him speak so much so they felt themselves lean closer to him so that they could press their ear to his lips and hear that voice closer yet though no one got that close for fear of Blaze doing her thing and catching them on fire, "Blaze and I were the trouble kids in The Prison, that's what we called it, so we got stuck together doing clean up or having to re-paint buildings as punishment. We just bonded you know and connected better with each other than anyone else. We were all we had, I had her and she had me and that was it. No one else. So we learned to love one another you know? So yup."

"You don't like talking much do you?" Brennion pointed out with a skeptical eyebrow raised. Bowden simply shrugged.

"My turn," He didn't even bother to think of a dare or anything nor the victim, he just chose someone because he was getting tired of both this game and a physical tired, "Airabella truth or dare?" She had been playing with a skull ring that took up a good proportion of her fingers surface when he spoke her name barely drawing her attention from the shiny chrome ring.

"Oh truth I suppose. I'm kinnda tired of this tedious game."

"Yeah um I dunno….why do you wear so much black?" She made a hurt sound in the back of her throat.

"Because I can you jerk! Why are you so pale! Augh. I hate when people ask me that. Brennion truth of dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to tell both your parents and Kiley's parents that you two are dating and that you have stolen their daughters virginity. Yes. I quite like that."
