Strawberry Fields

[Jo]

Why's she so much better than me? She's pretty--

Prettier, a voice in her head mustered.

--but I wouldn't dream of taking a guy from anyone!

She sighed.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

If only Dylan could read minds. Oh how he would have set Ellie straight. In truth, Andy had no idea that he'd had a girlfriend. Both of them were victims, but Andy trusted him.

Her sigh was the thing that made him look up, and bite his lip. If he didn't stop, it was going to bleed. With his striking green eyes and bright red blood, he'd look like Christmas.

"Are you... OK?" Ok, stupid question, Dylan. Of course she's not ok!

[Jo]

"Well, I wouldn't say Ok, but I'm not, like, pondering every five minutes about what happened."

Stupid! You are pondering every five minutes about what happened!, the voice yelled at her.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Dylan bit harder on his lip. He felt his cheeks grow hot, and prayed that his tan would cover the blush. Blood oozed from a small cut in his bottom lip, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Oh... Well, okay. I guess. I guess that's... Good." He stumbled over his words, stammering uncontrollably.

[Jo]

Finally, she let it all out.

"Is that all you can say? If you wanted to break up you should have asked!" she accused flightily.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

More blood cane as he bit harder, gnawing on his plush lip. A limp formed in his throat, but he couldn't swallow it down. His throat was too dry, the lump too big.

Her words hurt. They hurt a lot, amazingly. Had he wanted to break up? He couldn't remember. All he could remember was the distance between them when she'd returned to camp. And even if he had wanted to break up, he wouldn't have hooked up with Andy just for that sole purpose.

"Ellie, no. That's- that's not it. I didn't mean to... I never planned to..." he trailed off with a sigh.

[Jo]

"It seems so" she accused.

Who is that sl*t from the Ares Cabin?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Anger flared. Real anger for the first time in a while. He scowled at her, slightly surprised by the hot emotion as it surged through him.

"It may seem that way to you, but you've never been able to read me very well, so I'm not surprised." Fists clenched, and his green eyes widened as he realized how harsh his words were. But he couldn't take them back. It was too late.

[Jo]

Ellie wanted to lunge at him, hurt him, whatever.

"Yeah?" she wouldn't say how much his words made her sad, "But at least, when I talk to any guy that asks me out, I am decent enough to remember you."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

He froze. Eyes on hers. Voice surprisingly steady.

"You think this was the first time something like this happened?" His voice highered by two octaves. Her words had hurt, but he wasn't going to let her know that. "Why don't you go ask Leeanne from the Alexious cabin what I told her when she tried to kiss me. I remembered you then. People make mistakes. This was mine." Whether he was talking about kissing Andy or kissing Ellie not even he was sure of.

[Jo]

Ellie finally sighed. "All right. I-I understand."

UGH! I hate admiting this.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Dylan shook his head miserably, eyes on the ground again. "No, Ellie. I don't think you do."

[Jo]

"Well, all right! Now I'm the bad guy, the jealous one!"

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

He sighed, but refused to look up. "I didn't say you were the bad guy, Ellie. I just don't think you understand."

[Jo]

"Fine. I don't understand." She plowed through the fields in annoyance.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

He didn't go after her. He didn't have the patience. Or the energy to talk to her.

He sighed in aggravation before storming away in the oposite direction.

[Amanda]

With fingers as quick as a dagger, a girl walked by picking strawberries. She smiled, which rarely ever happened, and looked at the sky.
"It's not that bad outside today, actually."

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

Anfisa stooped down beside a bush, hands on herknees as she peered curiously at a few large strawberries. A faint smile pulle up the corners of her lips as she reached down to pick one of the berries which she popped in her mouth, letting out a faint mmm.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Still in a rather foul mood, Brandon wandered through the fields. The red berries gave him no pleasure as he walked along.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

Peering up at the sound of footsteps, Anfisa waved at the oncoming figure. "Hello!" she called as soon as she swallowed the berry.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Brandon looked over at the sound, eyes flashing in irritation. His jaw muscle relaxed when he saw the younger child beaming up at him. "Hullo," she mumbled with a small wave.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

Smiling, Anfisa hopped to her feet, wondering if he'd play with her. "Who're you?" she asked. "I'm Anfisa."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

"I'm Brandon," he replied with a small smile. "Nice to meet you."

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Nice to meet you, too," Anfisa chirped as she bounced over to him. "You looked kind of mad," she commented.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

He shrugged, kicking a stray rock with his sneaker. "I'm not mad, I'm frustrated." And a little mad, he added to himself.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Oh... Do you wanna talk about it?" Anfisa asked, cocking her head slightly.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

"Not particularily," Brandon said with a shake if his head. "So, hpw are you doing?" Obviously in a better mood than me.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"I'm good," she replied with a large smile. "I watched the clouds earlier."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

He shot her a perplexed expression that he wore well and wore often. "You watched the clouds?"

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

She nodded. "Mmhm. It's fun," she added. "Same with blowing on dandelions."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Still confused on why she would be watching the clouds, Brandon raised a golden eyebrow. "Blowing on weeds and spreading their seeds everywhere is fun?"

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Well... it is for me." Anfisa frowned. "The puffs make patterns.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Slightly interested now, Brandon furrowed one eyebrow, the other still raised. "What kinds of patterns?"

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Loops and things," Anfisa replied, shrugging. "But they only happen for me."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

"OK, and why's that?" Brandon asked the young girl as he felt himself begin to calm. He grabbed a strawberry and lazily sprawled out on the ground.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"People say it's because Hecate's my mom," Anfisa replied, plopping down beside him.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Brandon nodded, gazing up at the sky. "What's she the goddess of again?"

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Magic and crossroads and something else, I think," Anfisa replied.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Magic and crossroads and something else, I think," Anfisa replied.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"Magic and crossroads and something else, I think," Anfisa replied.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

((Get angry at the post button? :3))

Brandon nodded, tousling his hair lazily with his hand. "Sounds interesting. So, you can do magic tricks and stuff?"

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

((... Kinda))

"Sometimes," Anfisa replied, shrugging. "But my siblings can."

"Who are your siblings again?" Brandon was only half paying attention as he looked up at the sky.

"Who are your siblings again?" Brandon was only half paying attention as..."

"Rhys and Noel and Lysander and Jared and Miles," Anfisa replied.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

Brandon laughed in spite of himself. "Wow, your cabin must be lonely!" He laughed again.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter), The Goddess of indecisiveness]

"No," Anfisa said, frowning. "It's actually really fun most of the time."

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis)]

"Bit there's only like, five people! That's hardly any!" Brandon exclaimed wildly, frowning as well.
