Thanks to my beta and gamma: imashadowhunterdemigoddivergent and NightShadow99
I know I have been gone for a long while but I honestly haven't had the motivation until you guys reviewed! I asked my gamma for some help and she gave me a few plot ideas. So enough with this awkwardness, lets go!
Chapter 3
Kristen's P.O.V
I stared at Percy ludicrously as he ate his last meal before we had to go to our cabin. Our cabin. He was completely ignoring me and refused to catch my eye. I can understand that though, what if he thought I was lying? Did I not sound sincere enough? Did he think that I was just saying that to make him believe that his mum is evil?
I asked whoever delivered our food for a cottage pie and blue coke. Guess that's one thing that stuck. Surprisingly, the meal was like the one that Sally used to make, soft mashed potatoes and juicy mince; there was even a side of broccoli! Oh wow. That sounded weird.
Slowly, I was coming out of my "layers" as I called them. There was my first layer, my skin. The next would be my emotions, then my family and friends, house and so forth. I guess you could say everyone has their own amount of layers, each and everyone as unpredictable as the next. Some could make you cry and curl into a ball whereas others could make me jump and actually be me; make me feel as though I could fly a thousand miles and just be free of my problem. My burdens.

"Hey Kirsten?" Percy said once we had gotten to our cabin.
"Yeah?" I mumbled in reply. I didn't want to anger him anymore than I already had.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm not mad at you," he said. I was more than surprised to hear this. After all I said, he forgives me? "I know how it feels, knowing that you have been abandoned and wondering why they would leave a child alone." He flashed a lopsided grin and flopped onto his bed.
"I'm sorry too," I whispered, "I was so annoyed but I took all my anger out on you and that's not fair. I guess it's time for me to try to show the real me." Tears were slipping down my cheeks and I looked over to see if he was listening but he was long gone, slipping into the firm grip of sleep.
**This time skip is so awesome it can move the day from one to another, amazing right?**
I awoke to the sound of the water fountain and walked over to it, dragging my feet along the floor.
"Why did you have to leave me?" I cried into the water, "Why did you go? I was all alone and I needed you. I needed you yet you weren't there."
I stared at the fountain in despair before shoving on some black, calf high leggings and my new camp t-shirt. Yawning, I walked out the door to the climbing wall.
Applying chalk to my hands, my brain began calculating the route I was planning on taking. A little to my left to start, and then work my way across to the right. Squat to get over the overhang and push to reach the hold. Should be easy enough, right? I think.
Wrong. I got half way of complex routes before a gush of lava decided the rain down on my hand. Hissing in pain, I moved away, swinging desperately with my body to grab the next hold only I didn't catch it in enough time. I slipped and fell, tumbling through the air like an acrobat somersaulting on a tightrope. The last thing I remembered was a searing pain in my arm and foot before blacking out.
Yes, I know, its another line break, go grab some tea or something. Seriously, 'tis very nice.
Blinking away the spots of darkness, I opened my eyes to two guys, one in a sunshine yellow t-shirt and another in pitch black, making out on a bed across the room. I coughed, making the pair looked up. They blushed, but I just smirked.
"If you plan on kissing, make sure you check who you do it in front of, I don't wanna wake up from blacking out to see my doctor and his boyfriend making out. Okay?" I attempted a half- hearted smile and the blonde grinned.
"Well glad to know you're okay, so um…my name is Will and this is Nico, my boyfriend." Will looked at me waiting for my reaction, but got none.
"Well, Will, I was wondering is you have any ambrosia or nectar, as my arm here appears to be dead," I said formally, gesturing at the mentioned arm.
Will walked over to a cupboard and handed me a little square that looked at bit like a fudge brownie cake. I popped it into my mouth and let my tongue water over the taste of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice-Cream.
My arm healed instantly and I sighed in relief. Time to leave. Sitting up, I put my foot on the floor and hissed in pain.
"Gah! Though that it would help me, not hurt me!"
Nico chuckled this time and two dark brown orbs glowered at me.
"They will work over time, give it a few minutes." He had a slight Italian accent that sounded melodic and smooth, all the words fitting together properly.
True as his word, my leg healed within five minutes and I left the infirmary intending to go back to my climbing until a blue trident glowed above my head. So dad, you finally decide to claim me?
Walking back to the wall, campers stared with wide eyes and whispered to one another, a few gasping but I just kept my head down and stared at the floor. I had only opened up to two people so far but that was enough for the time being. Can't let too many people in or I will just get hurt again.
**Flashback**
Dead quick, if you're not comfortable reading stuff with mentioning of rape please don't read this bit. I'm not going to go into detail but I don't want to offend anyone so... yeah, skip if you want but if not, carry on!
"Hey baby, how you doing on this lovely morning?"
"Fine," I laughed, "Just getting up and relishing the dazzling sunlight. Now, let me get changed, I don't want your mum finding out I'm crashing at your place because I'm sure she'll be really mad and disappro-"
He smashed his lips against mine and looked at me, our noses touching. "She won't find us." He murmured, "She's gone out."
His hands were gripping my waist tightly and he licked his lips. I saw that his whole mood had changed and his whole body radiated lust.
"Babe what are you doing?" I asked nervously. "Don't, please, stop."
His large hands had travelled underneath my oversized t-shirt to the strap above my no-go zone. He grinned up at me before grabbing a piece of rope from his drawer and tying it around my hands.
"This is punishment for lying. You knew my mother isn't here and wanted to get away, didn't you?"
He tutted and reached for some duct tape.
"No! Please! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied and it was wrong but please don't do this. Please!" Tears were streaming down my face but he just wiped them away and slowly placed to tape over my mouth. "It will be over as soon as I'm done" He whispered, "Don't scream. Oh wait, you can't."
I tried to shout a few more times but they came out as incoherent, muffled noises. He ripped off my t-shirt and stared at me for an uncomfortably long time. His eyes hungrily traced my naked body and grinned. "Oh you're so gonna pay for this, little girl."
Okay so if you skipped you can continue to read now :)
I'd realised I'd been crying and wiped away the tears. Shaking my head, I walked on to the mess hall to grab a bite to eat. Grabbing a breakfast bar, I ran towards a secluded part of the beach to calm down and watch the sun rise.
It was beautiful, all the colours blending together to create a perfect image. Pinks, ambers, yellows, reds and even a hint of orange, It was so peaceful, so calm. Yet I couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong, but nothing came up. I stared out at the water a bit longer before pushing myself up and decided to run around the arena.
Left. Right. Left. Breathe. Left. Right. Left. Breathe. The pattern continued until I was
drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.
"You look like you need a shower."
I whirled around and stared at a pair of sea-green eyes.
"Well in case you didn't notice I was about to go and get one, so..." I trailed off, unsure of how to exit the situation.
"Well, go, there are shampoos already there."
I smiled slightly at Percy before walking to my cabin to get a towel and a change of clothes. Maybe our relationship as siblings is growing ever so slightly. Maybe…maybe I can trust him? Shaking my head I turned on the shower and let it do it's healing.
