"When... When I was younger. And I got a quest a few weeks ago." Why was she telling him this? First Finn, now him! Maybe Wes HAD put something in that potion for her jaw...

"I...I....I got called on a quest.....to the Underworld....my whole group died because of my grandfather.....he kept me down there for 4 years...." He hadn't told the whole story though.
"Ya....he had them killed.....said other demigods were a bad influence..." He said as his face filled with despair.
"I-oh..." She said quietly, unsure of how to react.
He looked at her and said, "anything like that happen to you?" He doubted it.
"No." She said quietly. Stuff had happened, but compared to that, it was nothing. An she don't want to talk about it. She'd already talked about her life way too much recently...
"Man I hate Hades!!!" He said shaking his fist at the sky.
She bit her lip, and looked down uneasily. She would agree, but she had the feeling Aphrodite was behind most of her problems at the moment. And she didn't want to risk offending him.
Jake then fell asleep. He'd forgotten he shadow traveled here. He had a nightmare and woke up screaming, "Courtney!!!"
She backed up even farther against the bush. "A-are you okay?"
"I.....I......I'm fine." He didn't tell her that Courtney was his girlfriend and he had lost Courtney to Artemis. And that she died by Hades' zombies.
"Can I tell you something that you won't tell anyone?"
"Um..." She really wished she hadn't gotten into this conversation... Note to self: grandchild of hades comes up, and you run away. Fast.
"Well?" He asked.
"Um..." In one hand, if she said no, as she wanted to, he might get mad... On the other hand, if she said yes... One more complication in her messed up demigod life. "Sure," she blurted it, then closed her eyes. Why had she said that? Why? There was no possible reason to say yes!
"I.....I......I..." He couldn't come out with it. "I lost a girl I loved to Hades himself. Courtney. She and I....we loved each other. We dated and all that but she chose....." He began to cry. "She chose to join Artemis. And when they went to get rid of zombies Hades had let go and wondered into the mortal world.... Hades spoke to her and a quarter of an army of zombies killed her at.....at......at his command. Artemis tried to save her but couldn't. She was already......dead!" And then he sobbed like crazy.
((You on. I gtg. I'll continue tomorrow))
Her mouth was open in a slight o. Why did you say yes? She asked herself repeatedly. Why? WHY???
He pulled himself together. "The only thing I have from her is her camp necklace." He pulled out a necklace from is pocket and it had 2 beads on it. He showed her it. "You keep this a secret?"
"Um... Uh..." Panic mode. Full on panic mode. She COULDNT keep secrets... Hadn't she just told Finn her entire life story? Something she'd told herself to keep a secret forever? How was she supposed to keep THIS a secret?
"I get it if can't...I've already told someone and they were not able to." He looked at his blade again.
Moka wandered around looking for will and sighed and dawn was with her as was blue
((Will at the Athena cabin. He's helping a baby dragon that hurt it's wing.))
Why did she always have to start talking? Now she was stuck in this kind of situation...
"You in there?" He asked
"Y-yeah..." She needed to get out of here... But of she left, then he would think that she was leaving to go tell someone...
"I think it's better to keep quiet sometimes as a Hades kid and all...."
"I mean it's up to you. The Fates can be cruel sometimes but it's your decision."
What was she supposed to day? How do you respond to something like that?
He just sat there waiting for her replie.
What... She was no good in this kind of situation... She normally couldn't even carry on a normal conversation... What was she supposed to say? "Uh..."
"Hmmph...." Here waited.
Se raised her hands in a hopeless position. What... There was nothing she could do that would help his situation...
He continued to wait but stood up and stared at her.
She looke do at him, eyes darting around like a cornered animal.
He asked, "Well?"
"Uh..." What was she supposed to day? What as she supposed to do? What was going on?
He stared at her for a while longer.
She looked up at him. She was about to start having an all out panic attack. She'd never read about a situation like this... What was she supposed to do?
He walked around. He was getting a little impatient. Will she keep it a secret or not? he asked himself.
She watched him start to walk around. Was he leaving? That wild be good if he left... Then she'd never have to see him again... And she'd just pretend that she'd never heard all that stuff... That could work, right?
He stopped walking around. He looked straight into her eyes. He hoped she'd come out with it.
She met his eyes, and looked down immediately. She didn't want any part in his messed up life. Hers was messed up enough.
He continued to wait.
"I-I-" she mumbled. This was what happened when she left the cabin. She got mixed up in someone's horror show of a life.
"I what?" He asked soothingly.
