Strawberry Fields

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

((BUT SHE CAN'T! HELL HURT HER AGAIN!))
Maren sighed heavily and shook her head. "No, I'm not, Mallowy. But I can't thay why."

[Kat, Goddess of Dramatic Exits and Strawberry Yogurt]

((Ehh, Nat's revengin Eddy soon anyway. If she knows about Maren that will just make her even more pised))

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

((no one knows but Cassidy, Avery, and Bennett. And cassidy's Keepin her mouth shut.))

[Kat, Goddess of Dramatic Exits and Strawberry Yogurt]

((Yeah but who else in camp has a freakin whip?))

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

"Awww, come on. You know you can trust me!" She grinned, and pointed to herself.

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

((Airlia does now. :]))

[Kat, Goddess of Dramatic Exits and Strawberry Yogurt]

((Yeah hbut why would she do that?))

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

((iunno, but they cant blame Drakey if he doesn't have his whippy.))

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren shook her head. "I can't tell."

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

"Ah, Maren. There's a law that states freedom of speech. So you can tell me." Mallory argued, now dying to know what had happened.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She shook her head violently. "He doesn't allow it."

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

"He? He who? A boy? Ooooh!!" Mallory said, and clapped her hands. She obviously took her words the wrong way.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren shook her head again. "Not that kind of boy."

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

"Oh. OH!" Mallory gasped, her brown eyes wide. There was probably only one other boy involved thing that could thus girl to be in such distress. Someone had probably harmed her.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren nodded. "Mhm."

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

"Who is it?" Mallory asked, her pretty face hard and angry. Her tongue traced over her braces, wincing when the sharp objects cut her tongue.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"I can't thay."

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

"Hmph." Mallory grumbled, sighing in defeat. "So, have you heard about the Ares/Athena couple?"

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She shook her head.

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

"Yeah. My sister, Alexa ran into the cabin bawling her eyes out because some Athena guy chose an Ares girl over her." Mallory shook her head, in utter disbelief.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"Woooow," she mused.

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

Mallory giggled, and nodded. "She was so mad. Vanessa wasn't much help, either."

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"Thoundth fun."

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

"Mhm. Just an average day in the Aphrodite cabin. Any drama with your siblings?" She asked, running a hand through her hair.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She shook her head. "Not that I know of. I've been healing all day." As soon as she said the words, she covered her mouth.

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

Mallory's eyebrows furrowed when she heard the little girl spoke. "Um, healing?"

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Her eyes were wide, and the hands I'n front o herbmouh were shaking. She dint say anything more.

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

"Healing what, Maren?" Mallory asked her, watching the little girl shake.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"The thcawth," she whispered.

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

"The what?" Mallory asked, knitting her neatly waxed eyebrows together.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"Thcawth." With a sigh, Maren turned and raised the back of her shirt.

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

"The scratch?" Mallory asked in uncertainty, then sge saw the words. "Oh, gods, Maren! That's awful! Did that boy do it to you?"

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She nodded. "Mhm. But it getth wowthe."

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

"That's horrible! Who would do something like that to a little girl? What does, 'say no evil' mean?" She asked gently, furrowing her eyes.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

"He'th telling me not to tell," Maren whispered.

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

"He's tell you a lot if things, huh?" Mallory muttered with a sigh.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She nodded. "He thayth if I don't lithten he'll do wowthe than thith."

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

"Oh my gods! That's terrible, Maren!" Her eyes went wide, and her lip trembled as she thought of her being in Maren's place.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

She shrugged, turning and lowering her shirt again. "It'th not like I can do anything."

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

"I bet you can. I'm sure some Ares kids or others would help you beat this creep!" Mallory hissed angrily, crossing her arms indignantly.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren's eyes went wide again. "He'd find out I told them and then he'd come aftew me again."

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

"True...wow you're in such a pickle, Maren! How'd you get in this situation, anyway?" She asked, putting her long-forgotten basket down.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren shrugged. "I guethth I jutht thaid thome thingth to Dwake that-" Then she cut off. And she covered her mouth, horrified eyes wide.

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

Mallory raised her eyebrows at the five-year-old girl. "Oh...well I guess he has a temper."

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Slowly, she nodded. "Mhm," she said meekly.

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

"Um...bye, Maren. I gotta go." She said sheepishly, waving at her.

[Isobel *The Goddess of Annoyance*]

Maren nodded, but as soon as Mallory left she sprinted back to her cabin, watching around her fearfully.

Emmalyn walked into the fields, her usual summer clothes were clinging to her skin by sweat. Sigh. Chores. Chores was the only thing Emmalyn did not like very much. At least, this was strawberry picking. The best chore in the whole world.

She started picking the red berries and placing them into her basket gently. After a moment of crouching and picking, she sighed and sat on the ground.

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

Anfisa stood in the middle of the fields, bent over and examining a rather plump strawberry. Her lips were set in an adorable frown as she debated whether or not to pick the red berry.
