This chapter is a little violent and you're in my prayers for anybody reading this who has gone through something like this, or any of the situations described in story. No idea when the next chapter will be out, sorry guys.

Lucy

Lucy Lindstrom had never seen Chiron so mad day the night her life change. It was just that past summer in June, the war was just beginning, tensions were high but nobody had left camp just yet and Typhon hadn't fully awoken. Not many had died but there had been many betrayals. After that day Lucy would never be the same. Nightmares would creep into her sleep reminding her of that night. Paranoia would destroy her trust in everyone she knew, even the ones who loved her the most. Post traumatic stress would shake her from any good relationship.

It was late, around 2 o'clock in the morning on that terrible night. Lucy was walking around the camp with some friends when they spotted Kyle, a really funny guy from the Hermes cabin who had some cute features to him, like those unforgettable green eyes. Lucy did what any single Aphrodite girl would do: she flirted. Kyle was cool, they all talked for a little while by the fountain in the cabin area, but then her friends left them alone. Lucy spent a few minutes laughing and blushing at things that he said.

"How 'bout we get out of here?" Kyle said, nodding over to the woods.

Lucy smiled, it had been a while since she had hooked up with some decent like Kyle. They started kissing near a huge oak tree when things started to heat up a little too fast. Kyle reached for her shirt.

"Whoa there," Lucy said laughing it off, removing his hands from her stomach. She wasn't looking for anything other than a hook up. "Slow down turbo."

He smiled at her and then started to kiss her neck, he slid his hand up her upper thigh and reached up her skimpy jean shorts. Lucy shoved him off of her.

"What is your problem?" She said disgusted, "I'm not desperate but obviously you are."

She walked away, vowing that she wouldn't go back. Everyday from then on she would wish she had ran, not walked, because Kyle came up from behind her and picked up by her waist. She squirmed in his arms and kicked out her legs violently. He threw her against the side of the tree, her head snapped against the wood and her vision became spotty in the dark night. She lay on the ground, motionless, her head throbbed, her heart beating in her skull. Kyle climbed on top of her, she tried to hit him so he would get off of her but he was strong and built, Lucy was no match for him.

Kyle struggled to unbutton her shorts because Lucy kept squirming around. He slapped her across the face, she weakly called out. She wound up her fist and punched him in the face, his beautiful green eyes glowed with madness even in the dark. That was when he snapped, no more playing games. He ripped her shorts down to her knees. Lucy whimpered and struggled under his weight, he started to kiss her neck.

"Stop it, please stop," Lucy's eyes were wet with tears, "Don't do this, please I'm begging you, don't do it."

He ignored her and when he reached to pull down her underwear she screamed as loud as she could. He put his hand over her mouth to try and muffle her high pitched cry and shoved her face into the dirt when that didn't work. But it too late, despite Lucy's attempts Kyle had gotten what he had came for. Though Lucy wasn't done putting up a fight, she kept screaming as loud as she could, her voice was the only thing that she had for a defense. She was nothing compared to Kyle's size and muscle.

Lucy shut her eyes and prayed to her mother just for it to stop. She didn't deserve this, she had never cheated on any of her boyfriends, she was only 17 for the gods sake. This didn't happen to girls like her and especially not at camp. Camp was suppose to be safe, but since the war… nothing was safe.

Lucy's voice began to die down because she was being repetitively beaten by Kyle. But then, like a miracle, the weight was ripped off of her body. She could breathe again but she could barely move, her left eye was almost swollen shut. She laid there exposed, trying to shield herself from whoever was there, or Kyle if he decided to come back.

Lucy pulled her shorts back on and fixed her shirt and got up from the ground wiping her eyes. Chiron came from out of the woods.

"You need to be looked at, you look like you have a black eye, I'll wake a healer-"

"No," Lucy interrupted, "No one can know, not Silena, not Mr. D, and certainly not my mother. If she gave a damn she would have done something before anything happened. This is between you and me."

He nodded. Lucy started to limp back to her cabin with Chiron by her side, escorting her on the way back. She was mortified that he had seen her in such a weak state, that he saw her being assaulted. But then again, he saved her. She wondered how he knew what was happening, if he had heard her screams when no one else did. Lucy felt like she owed him a lot more that just a thank-you, but she didn't know what.

"Thank you... for being there, for saving me." Lucy said quietly, looking at the ground.

With out waiting for an answer she turned and entered into her dark cabin, luckily everyone was asleep and she didn't have to worry about anyone seeing her covered with dirt and bleeding from the scrapes and cuts that covered her body. She grabbed her shower tote and towel and tip toed into the bathroom. She did her best to ignore the floor to ceiling mirror against the the bathroom wall but caught the sight of her grimy skin. She hopped into the shower and trued to scrub off any sign that Kyle had touched her.

But something wasn't right, it was as if she couldn't scrub enough or use the right amount of soap to get rid of what happened to her. It would never go away though, it wasn't something you could just wash away. For years it would still plaque her memory, though it got better, it would still haunt her.

Lucy changed into her pajamas and crawled into her bed. Just as she was getting comfy, her sister that slept on the bunk above her whispered, "Someone sure had a wild night."

Lucy wanted to cry, she was wanted to scream even though her voice was completely gone, but she couldn't tell anybody. She wouldn't be apart of the Aphrodite cabin pity party. People would think she was asking for it, that she probably threw herself at Kyle, that she got what she deserved, that it shouldn't be a shock to anyone. No one could know.

Lucy didn't sleep a wink that night.

The next morning the rumors were already flying amongst the campers. The thirteen year olds whispered, "Did you hear? Lucy slept with Kyle last night." Demeter girls joked, "People could hear them in the woods." Ares kids speculated, "I heard she gave him herpes, that's why he's missing." Athena children judged, "Look at her, she's so desperate, I bet she makes them fall in love with her just for the sex." Hermes kids gambled, "20 drachmas she pregnant!" And Apollo girls criticized, "Gods she's such a whore, they all are."

And so it went for days, none of it true expect for Kyle's disappearance, finally people settled down and moved on to the next scandal. Lucy wondered if anyone suspected her rape, but no one said anything, not even once word spread that Kyle joined the Titan army. Lucy was now the girl who slept with the enemy. They wouldn't let this one down either, even now, almost a year later.

Now, Lucy was back at camp after taking a trip to Paris for a college art class she was taking at one of the community colleges in Long Island. In Paris she painted marvelous pictures of the sights, her class even went to Louvre to see some of the greatest art work in the world. The two weeks of a "working vacation" had taken her mind off of her improving post traumatic stress and other problems that infected her brothers and sisters. Also the harassment; no one in France, or her small class knew of her past which meant no constant snickering.

Plus the trip gave her a chance to sort out her thoughts about a guy she was seeing at camp. A guy that she really, really liked. His name was Ricky, he was the son of Mr. D. He was a gentle guy who wasn't anything like his dad, he didn't drink or have a temper, he was understanding and never pushed her to do anything. He was just what Lucy needed, he was perfect. She was falling fast, but Lucy was still scared. The last few guys she dated put an end to their relationship because she couldn't go all the way with them. Ricky was different them but she could sense his disappointment when they got into a heated moment and she had to break away because her memory flashed to the night with Kyle. But she was convinced that she was getting better because of how much she liked Ricky.

So there she was, carrying her two bags of luggage across the cabin area when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned to see it was Ricky, she dropped her bags and threw her arms around him. She gave him a quick peck on the lips which he returned with a long kiss.

"I missed you," He said, "But I hope you had fun"

"I did," Lucy returned with a big smile, "I'm glad I'm home though. Paris was amazing, but you weren't there."

He smiled back at her and kissed her again, but this time something was different. Maybe it was the way he leaned into her or the way his lips seemed to match hers perfectly

"Je t'aime." She said.

"What does that mean?"

"I love you."

If possible, his smile grew wider, "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that." She kissed him again. "Let me get your bags."

"Oh, yeah."

Ricky picked them up and carried them to the Aphrodite cabin. Inside a few of her sisters were lounging around on the multiple Love Sacs, but each of them jumped up and gave her big hugs. She noticed that Dew wasn't in the biggest hugging mood and Krista was no where to be seen. Ricky was setting her bags down by her bunk when Piper walked in.

"YOU JERK!" She screamed, pointing at Drew, "How you could you do that to Leo?"

"Uh, you wanna go to my cabin before this gets too ugly?" Ricky suggested.

Lucy nodded desperately. They walked hand in hand across the Dionysus cabin which, unfortunately, was extremely plain. They sat on his bed, the one that didn't have another bunk on top of it, just one of the perks of being head counselor. Lucy started talking about the trip when Ricky stopped her.

"Do you really want to talk about Paris?" He asked, removing a piece of hair that was in her face. "Because I thought could just...cuddle."

Lucy couldn't tell if Ricky actually wanted to cuddle or if he just wanted to get it in. But she was agreed anyway, they had cuddled before, it was no big deal. They climbed beneath the sheets and held each other. She soaked in his scent, woodsy with grapes, she buried her face into his chest. He was warm compared to the frigid winter air.

"I've been thinking..." Ricky said slowly.

"About what?" But she already knew the answer.

"Well, we've been together for over three months now and I think it's-"

"Ricky, actually I've been thinking too, and there's something you need to know." She decided just to rip the band aid off, she couldn't do anything without him knowing. "You know Kyle?"

And so she told him everything that happened that night, and how Chiron saved her. Ricky looked really mad at Kyle, even though he was dead, then heartbroken when he figured out why it was hard for her to kiss him back sometimes. Though, if anything, Ricky looked disappointed.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Lucy gaped, "It's not something that I go around telling people, before you, Chiron was the only person to know. I'm not like my sisters, I don't want the attention, I don't want people to feel sorry for me because it will just be another reminder of what happened. Believe me that night goes through my head every day. I never told anyone because it's not something everyone needs to know."

"You could have told someone, anyone."

"I did. I told you, just now, a minute ago at most."

There was a large noise coming from the door of the cabin, it swung open and revealed an extremely pissed off Mr. D. He looked around and spotted us, under the covers, a little too close. His eyebrows went up, immediately jumping to conclusions. He almost looked proud of his son but then back to irritated. Lucy looked at Ricky, mortified that his father thought he had walked in on us.

"Sorry I ruined this beautiful moment, but I need your girlfriend's help."

He reached for something outside of the door and flung it inside. It was was Lucy's brother, Josh. She practically launched herself out of the bed, revealing her fully clothed body, sweatshirt and jeans in all, the amusement in Mr. D's eyes vanished.

"Wow sis, getting' another one done? You're just like the others!" He laughed a little too hard.

She got up and took a good look at him. His huge puipuls and glazed over eyes told her that he was high. Lucy slapped him across the face. "You're an idiot. You promised Silena you would get clean."

"Yeah well Silena's dead isn't she?" Lucy slapped him again, she couldn't believe her ears, how could he say that about his twin? "I really don't appreciate you hitting me Lucy-Luce.

"Where are the pills?" She demanded, he didn't say anything. "Fine."

Lucy grabbed her pea coat from the coat hook and rushed outside, Josh and Ricky hot on her tail. Lucy's legs walked quickly through the light layer of snow and over to the frozen over fountain in the middle of the cabin area. She reached underneath the ledge where people usually sit and searched for the hole. When she finally found it she pulled out a zip-lock baggie with three bottles of prescription Oxycontin. She shook them to hear if there were any pills left. There were several.

"Tell me where you got them." Lucy pushed.

"Someone."

"That's not an answer Josh."

"You don't need an answer, you're not the cops, you're not mom, and you're definitely not someone I'm going to tell anything too."

"Yes but I can be considered the cops and will notify your mother." Mr. D jumped in. "And you're going to tell us who gave you these pills or else you can show yourself out of this camp-"

Chiron, who was standing beside him, whispered in his ear, "We can't actually do that."

"-Then you will be held in the Big House until you are clean."

Josh crossed his arms and smirked, "I didn't get them from anybody in this camp, that's for sure, too many snitches."

"Well then," Mr. D snapped his fingers and the zip-lock bag full of pill bottles vanished from Lucy's hands. "I'll be keeping these, and you're still staying in the Big House."

Josh's addiction had gotten out of control but no one exactly knew how he got hooked.
