The Return of the Demeter Leader (Dawn, Harper.)

[dawn]

Dawn nodded, sitting back on her bed, randomly grabbing a sandwich and biting into it. Eh. She was hungry after falling.

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia shook her head at Dawn falling and laughed under her breath, then she turned back to Harper. "Aaaw, he's cute too. But i've never talked to him. No I mean Ciel, he was really cool when I met him. But it was only once and he went on that crazy quest so...whatevs rght?" She shrugged then turned back to Dawn, "Dawn, we still need to get that fish of yours."

[dawn]

Dawn jumped up and looked at accalia "FISHY!" she screamed then remebered something. "Wait. Cody is a son of Poseidon. Poseidon equals fish....." she said the looked at the door which was close and a open window "Fishy!" she yelled and climbed out the window to do....Dawn things.

[Harper Jones]

Harper slowly nodded her head as she thought about it. "Ciel's... interesting. He wanted adventure more than anything... did you know he wanted to commit grand theft auto a couple of times?" She shook her head. "And he would've, if we didn't want to be on America's Most Wanted." She stared as Dawn went out the window. "Wow..."

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia laughed, "Really?!" She said a little too excitedly, then she pulled her tone down, "That's pretty wierd of him. Wait Daw-" She watched Dawn climb out the window and put her palm to her forehead, "she is going to go torture Cody about getting that fish I promised her..."

[Harper Jones]

Harper rolled her eyes. "Great. Let's just torture the boy only a few hours after he turned back to a human." She laughed and turned to Accalia. "So what else has happened since I've been gone? I feel like I've missed a lot."

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia nodded quickly, "Oh my gosh yes! Devin showing up, some Hunter named Janessa is staying here. Some Aphrodite girl and Kad are dating..." She realized how odd that sounded since Kad was gone with her but shook it off, "There was a big food fight yesterday."

[Harper Jones]

"Ha, copycats," laughed Harper. "They're just jealous because my food fight was epic... wait... a Hunter is here?" She tried to contain herself from having a fangirl moment. "Oh. My. Gosh. That is so cool! I wanted to be a Hunter..." She cut herself short. She never talked about her almost rash decision of becoming a Hunter before she decided to run away. "I mean... it would be cool to be a Hunter... if I didn't have to swear off boys or anything..."

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia pulled back and raised an eyebrow, "Yeah a Hunter named Janessa Kase. You should meet her, Poor things on crutches." She tried to ignore the comment that Harper was obviously trying to cover up but instead she just jumped right in, "I can't believe you wanted to be a hunter! I could see it though, they are pretty bad-ass." She put a hand over her mouth. She did not know what was getting into her lately.

[Harper Jones]

"Yeah, that's one of the reasons I wanted to join." And I would no longer be a child of Demeter... Harper tried to play if off like it was no big deal. "But like I said earlier, I'm boy-crazy, so it's hard to become a Hunter." But then Accalia's language hit her and she looked at her sister. "I see that camp's the only thing it changed either. What has come over you?"

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia shook her head and sighed, "I have no idea. Things have been so wierd here i've tried to toughen up." She looked back on the time that Harper was gone. Her aim had gotten better, she wasn't as much of a push-over. And why? For a few reasons, "Well, I just saw how Janessa was handling her crutches and I knew I had nothing to be scared of. And honestly, it's so much easier being this way then letting everyone walk all over me."

[Harper Jones]

"Good for you Accalia," Harper smiled as she reached over and squeezed her sister's hand. "At least this change is for the better. Unlike some changes..."
Her mind wondered back to Cody. Were things going to be different between them now that he changed back from his spider form? Maybe it would have been easier for her if he was actually dead... then at least she could move on.

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia nodded, "Harper, what are you thinking about?" She saw the troubled look on Harpers face and tried to sound comforting. Harper looked like she had been through so much while she was on the quest and she wanted to do anything and everything to help.

[Harper Jones]

Harper closed her eyes and shook her head trying to compile her thoughts. She finally opened her eyes and looked at her sister.

"Before I left for the quest, I was with him," she said slowly, hoping it made sense. "And he kissed me, Accalia. He kissed me." She broke eye contact as she tried to prep herself for the next bit. "And during the quest, we were attacked by an empusa and it left us a package that made us think... he was... dead." She whispered out the last word as tears were starting to form in her eyes. "I couldn't breath or think. He was gone... And then we found Arachne and it turned out he wasn't dead. He was with us all along as a spider figurine. I tricked her into turning him back before I killed her." She closed her eyes while shaking her head. "And now he's acting all weird." She rested her head in hear hands while a couple of tears fell out. "I'm a mess."

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia swiftly took action once the story started and put her arm around Harper, she listened intently to the story. It was a heartbreaker. She had already heard about the dead part from Daven, but she never thought how much it would affect Harper. Plus, he KISSED her! He actually kissed her. Accalia wasn't sure whether to be excited for Harper or angry at Cody for his behavior afterwards. But, he was turned into a spider. "Harper...he's just..." She tried to think of how to respond, but she was at a bit of a loss for words. She took a few breaths and then let it out, "Maybe we'll just let him have some time with his sister before he...he really needs to cool off." She said as soothingly as possible.
