The Beach [open]

[kayleeyaylee]

Callie sat on the beach alone. Oh, how she despised the company of others. She already hated everyone at camp simply because they still breathed her air, even though she had never actually talked to anyone yet. She thought of ways to terrorize others. The endless ocean had always inspired her. Endless possibilities...for domination.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick pushed through the trees, a sword in his left hand. Yep, Flick was left handed. He hadn't met any monsters to his disappointment. Perhaps they could tell his power. Being the son of Zeus maybe they didn't want to be evaporated. And before he knew it, he was pushing through the fronds and stepping out onto the beach.

[kayleeyaylee]

Callie sensed the presence of another camper behind her. He was powerful - she could tell. Perhaps if she befriended him, or at least pretend to be his friend, she could use his power to her advantage in her main goal of becoming Queen of Gods. She turned around while staying seated and saw a blond boy with a sword.
"Hey there," she called out, forcing a smile on her lips.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick glanced in the direction of the sweet voice. "Hey," he replied back. He glanced around. "I dont suppose theres any monsters out here on the beach?" He snickered, "I dont suppose you managed to fight them all off?"

[kayleeyaylee]

"More like scared them all off," she joked. Although it was true that some of the smart monsters, however rare they were, avoided her at all cost. Any person with an IQ over 50 would do the same, if they knew her true intentions. Fortunately, she was good at lying and keeping secrets.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick sighed and lowered his sword and shield. "Aww, well thats boring." He walked up to the water and stabbed it with his sword. He knew it didnt do anything. But he needed to stab something.

[kayleeyaylee]

He seemed angry, but she couldn't tell why.
"Are you okay?" she asked, trying to sound nice and concerned.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick looked at the girl, "Oh, Im fine, I was just looking forward to killing some monsters. No big deal."

[kayleeyaylee]

She smiled evilly. "Do you enjoy killing?" She may have found just the perfect boy for her to use.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick tilted his head with a blonde raised eyebrow. "Monsters," he answered simply.

[kayleeyaylee]

Ugh, she knew finding someone to do her bidding would be harder than that. "Of course," she laughed. "That's what I meant." She ended with a smile, hoping that he bought it.
"Oh, I just realized that I never properly introduced myself. I'm Callie. What's your name?" Being sweet sickened her, but the fake smile stayed plastered on her face.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick kept his eyes locked on her, cautiousness seeping from him. "Flick," he answered. "Thats it. Just Flick. Simple."

[kayleeyaylee]

"Cool. Flick. I like that name." For once she was actually being honest. This was a rare occasion, which she greatly appreciated. The only other time that she could be honest and be herself was when she was alone - but that gets old. Fast.
"Come sit with me," she said patting the ground next to her. "Let's chat."

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick raised his eyebrow yet again. But, she seemed friendly enough, and sincere as well. She wasnt like Blake or Austin. She wasnt intolerable. He walked calmly over and sat next to her.

[kayleeyaylee]

He seemed hesitant to sit with her, but he did eventually. "So, tell me about yourself." She actually was curious about him. She could put her diabolical plan on hold for now.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick shrugged, "Im son of Zeus. Ive messed with alot of monsters. Im strong and thats all I care about." He smiled. "Im also only 13. And id bet im the strongest demigod at this camp."

[kayleeyaylee]

Son of Zeus? Okay, now it was time to go back to business. Becoming friends with him was know vital to her plan. Having an inside "spy" was always key in every evil plot.
"I'm sure you are the strongest too. I haven't seen any other campers, but I can tell that you're powerful. I'm not that strong honestly. I prefer brains over brawn. I can get inside peoples' heads and mess with them... I found that it can be a lot more painful than physical pain."

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick had been staring out at the waves, that was smashing against the shore, when she said that. He again eyed her with his electric blue gaze. "Are you messing with me now? Getting in my head?" he asked. Flick may act it, but he wasnt stupid.

[kayleeyaylee]

"Naw, I only do that to people that I have a reason to," she lied. "And I don't have a reason to get inside your head." She paused, "yet," she said jokingly giving him a playful push on the shoulder.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

"Hmmm..." Was all Flick replied. "Whos your godparent?" he asked a short while later. "Not one that has powers of manipulation I hope."

[kayleeyaylee]

"Deimos is my father, but I try not to be like him," she lied. She actually looked up to him quite a bit.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick thought for a minute. "Ah," he said alas. "Deimos, god of fear, trembling, and dread..." He shrugged, "Im not sure if thats exactly the sort of mindgame Im referring to." He chuckled abit, "you say your not powerful. But, fear is a very powerful weapon. I bet your stronger than you let on."

[kayleeyaylee]

"Yeah, I guess so, but people fearing you has its down sides too. Like I have no friends because of it," she sighed sadly. She made a fake tear roll down her cheek as she stared down at the waves gently riding up and down the shore. Perhaps this demigod has a sense of pity she thought...

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick sighed, "Im sure thats untrue." He shrugged, he was no good at cheering others up. "Your pretty and nice. Im sure you have friends."

[kayleeyaylee]

"No, I really don't. I'm not one to exaggerate." She sighed, "I grew up in an orphanage because my own mother didn't even want me... And don't get me started on the kids there." Thoughts of anger and hatred filled her mind. Painful flashbacks and tears flooded her eyes. She quickly wiped them away so Flick couldn't see. "I was always the odd one out. You know - the one picked last for dodgeball, the one no one picked as the goose in duck duck goose..."

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick smiled, now she was hitting home. "I lived in an orphanage too. Apparently my mother didn't want me." He shrugged, "The kids there were my friends and family. Then a monster came and destroyed it and killed everyone there. Cept for me. But still... I miss them. So now I want payback and i train and get stronger." He smiled at her and this time playfully nudged her arm. "Your my friend. Say, wanna gather up some campers for Duck duck goose? Ill choose you first thing." He snickered, "but beware, im fast."

ooc: OMG a demigod fueled game of duck duck goose sounds awesome...

[kayleeyaylee]

ooc: That's a really good idea! lol; we should definitely get more (like from the volleyball game/thread) and start a game

ic: She genuinely smiled - for once. That was a rare occasion. Her plan was working. They were friends. Soon, with his help, Zeus would be begging for mercy at her feet. But, now it was time for a game of duck duck goose... "Thanks for the warning, but I think I can catch you," she lied. She was horrible at sports and anything physical. She stood up and brushed the sand off of her dress and then offered her hand to help Flick up.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick pushed her hand aside and stood up himself. "I doubt you could catch me in that dress."

[kayleeyaylee]

Callie was a little insulted that he pushed her hand aside. Perhaps being too friendly wasn't the way to go with this demigod. "We'll see about that," she said as she started running toward the forest as fast as she could. He was right - it was hard to run in a dress.

[Queen Hunter ~ Thalia]

Flick sneered and took off after her, easily overtaking her and rushing into the forest. He stopped and leaned out, pushing branches aside so she could enter. He smiled.
