Sisterly Bonding (Or Concern) (Dru)

[Deleted]

Ana leaned forward, pressing her fingers into her rug on the floor of her Cabin Leader room. Slowly, she extended her legs out behind her, taking up a one-armed, push-up position.. After running through this exercise, she stood quickly and set to rising up onto her toes in a semblance of a ballerina stance. From there, she moved into jumping jacks, more push ups, and many, many crunches. After much of the physical stuff, she ran through a series of sword form exercises.

All of this made very little noise, and for that, Anastasya was grateful. She could only really exercise in this room now, her own bedroom, without fearing the worst of any emotion from others: pity. She hated pity with such a fire, just like that back in her father’s domain: Hell. Or rather, the Underworld. Though, she certainly put herself through hell with this continuous, private training regimen in her bedroom.

When she was finally so sweaty and exhausted that she dropped to sit on the foot of her bed, she leaned forward and set to drying her face with a nearby towel. Only when she sent out a ‘ping’ of shadow to find her hamper did she sense somebody at her doorway: one of her siblings, judging by the reflex of power familiarity that came back. Grimacing, she tossed the towel and spoke. “Who is it?” Dressed in a sports-bra and yoga pants, she could speak to any of them… Though she wasn’t in the particular mood at the moment. Eugene would be calling in a short while, which was something she’d receive from her disposable cell in the nightstand drawer. She didn’t want to miss it. And she didn't want distractions.

[Dru Alberts]

As always the hades cabin was quiet and creepy. She could probably hear a fly fart if Dru tried hard enough. She had been out all day, walking around the forest, hanging out with a few Kids from Hermes and just wondering around camp, anything to keep from coming to her cabin but she knew at some point she would need to. She wanted a nap.

As she walked in, pulling her hair down from it's pony tale, she didn't heard anything but knew one of her siblings were here. She could feel it. And judging by the fact she could feel them in the Cabin Leader room she knew exactly who it was. She went over and stood by the door, seeing Anastasya sitting on her new bed with a towel over her face before throwing it to the side. Apparently she could tell Dru was here too since she asked who was there and Dru just smiled. "Just your favorite sibling. At least I hope i am, cause I'll be insulted if I wasn't" she said joking around. Maybe being in the cabin would be so bad if she could talk with Ana. "Hows it going Miss Cabin Leader? Loving the solo room while I'm stuck with the guys."

Anastasya’s brows furrowed faintly for a split second when Dru began speaking, though the look immediately smoothed when she made the connection. One of her less familiar siblings, yes, but Ana had met her before. The voice wasn’t unfamiliar. That was virtually all she had now, however: voices. Turning her face toward her sister, grey-colored eyes blindly tracked over the darkness she was presented. Slowly, she turned her face slightly away to allow for better hearing.

“Sisters have to stick together… Especially when our brothers are who they are. I could see what could be done about moving you if your really wanted away…” She shrugged slightly, voice vaguely teasing even if she was immediately thinking of Ellyse, who’s face she had seen, then the voices of those she hadn’t.

Anastasya brushed that off as something within reminded her once more of the time. “It’s going fine. I just finished working out… wasn’t super hungry, so I was thinking of maybe taking a shower and then crashing for the evening.” She tilted her head slightly. “And how are you? Minus any havoc the boys might’ve caused?” She’d have loved to have joined them in causing that havoc… Damned eyes of hers.

[Dru Alberts]

Dru just laughed at her sisters comment about actually moving her. "No no, thank you but I'm fine. I've got them under control." she said jokingly. Her brother couldn't do anything to her if they tried. She was just as powerful as they were, she just didn't let their family get to her.

Working out? Dru had to give her credit, she didn't do anything extra to train. She didn't have the will to. Training just didn't appeal to her, even if she knew she was in danger. She never really felt threaten by anything.

"The boys, who knows where they are. Probably loathing life or fighting someone." she said sarcastically. They always did the same thing, they fell into the stereotype for their cabin and it just made her not want to bother with then. "I've been good though, I was just hanging around camp with some Hermes kids. It's been a good day." she said with a smile, stepping into the room. She had never been in here before and it was nice looking. She was lucky, Dru would have given anything to be cabin leader.

Anastasya’s lips quirked into a faint smile as she seemed to contemplate just what Dru was saying. “That’s a feat unto itself- keeping those boys in line. You must tell me how exactly you did it sometime.” At that, her smile widened slightly… But only slightly. The phone would ring soon, and she’d need to answer it. She knew how to press the buttons to accept and end calls, but to actually initiate them, she didn’t quite know. Lack of sight certainly impaired the ability to learn, too.

Dru’s mentioning of Hermes kids caused an involuntary look to flit over her face: pain. Uncertainty. Sickness. Would they ever accept Eugene back? They’d been willing to help her see him, but… Ana shook her head quickly. “Hermes are fun to hang out with. Fun to get things from, too.” She forced a smile, thinking yet again of the phone as she stood. “I do like the Hephaestus kids, though, too. They come up with so many gadgets and things. Adrian seems to make sure of that though. Ever met him?”

[Dru Alberts]

The trick to her keeping the boys in line? Dru laughed and walked next to her sister, pretending like she was a spy. "The secret my dear Anastasya is to threaten them." she laughing and shrugging "Machiavelli did say it is better to be feared then loved!" she said laughing. Truthfully, just a small glare and a thread to 'bury them so deep their dad won't even know where they are' does the trick nicely.

Then she said something about Hermes and Hephaestus and how nice they were and they could get stuff from them. "Yeah, it is nice, gotta bribe some of them but the sassy-ness coming from me usually makes them skip that part." she said, thinking about the name she mentioned. "No i don't think i have ye-" she said and stopped thinking about four words. I like them. Adrian. "Wait wait wait. Adrian, is this a kid you like or you LIKEEEEEEEEEEE" she said adding a emphases to it. "Come on I'm your sister you should know better then to keep crushes from me. I have to hunt them down and threaten their man hood if they hurt you." she said, jokingly. She wouldn't hunt anyone down..that she knew of.

[Deleted]

“That hardly does the job in my case.” She snorted, regarding her more with her facial expression rather than eye contact. “They’re convinced I’m unaware every time they do something bad. That I can’t ‘see’ the deed to punish them.” Her lips contorted slightly. “I damn well can, better than they realize. And I am not so blind as to catch them either.” Something of a bitter laugh escaped her. Sure, she wasn’t the perfect example of a Hades stereotype… But she had her moments.

At her mention of a crush on Adrian, her thought of the phone was immediately abandoned as she blanched, rather than blushed, and held up her hands in a quick waving gesture. “No, no, NO! Adrian is just a very good friend is all! I’m quite happy for him and that Frankie girl as they are!” She shook her head, pony-tail swishing insistently. “Yes… Definitely not. And as for crushes…” If only she knew. If only ANY of them knew. They’d come after her with torches and pitchforks. She inhaled to steel herself, smoothing her facial features. “I don’t have one. I haven’t the time for it between training and recovery.”

Just then, her phone ringer went off from the drawer… And despite her careful control her face flushed as she quickly went for it. Pulling it from the darkness, she clasped her hand tightly over the screen, over the name and number that shown there. “Could you give me a moment? This is important.”

[Dru Alberts]

Dru just smirked at her sister and gave her the no problem hand movement. "Don't worry. I'l straighten them out for you, next time they see you they will look like that are about to poop themselves just you watch" she said confidently before laughing. The idea was funny, if she could make that happen, she needed to go down in the record books.

Urg, no crushes? What girl had no crushes? Dru sighed "fine fine.." she mumbled, seeing her sisters phone start to ring and her reaction. She said it was important and Dru just nodded, smirking "Sure sure.. I Bet its Adrian!" she yelled before rushing up and grabbing her sisters phone before running and hiding on the other side of her bed.

She smiled and didn't even bother looking at who was calling before answering, making sure her sister didn't do anything "Hello this is Anastasya's better, more fabulous sister Dru. How may I help you?" she said loudly and stuck her tongue out at her sister. She was a little sad when it wasn't Adrian though.

[Deleted]

Her blood ran cold the second Dru went for the phone… And turned to ice in her veins when the girl actually went so far as to answer it. Her heart hammered, and if she’d had vision, it would’ve been a tunnel for her sister. A span of seconds passed as she simply stared her down…

On the line, a voice had momentarily begun to speak, but immediately broke off when the voice proved not to be the Hades Leader. All the male voice had gotten out was something about looking at another hotel visit. About missing her.

That was when Ana’s limbs unfroze. For a blind girl, she was remarkably coordinated as she launched herself over the bed to take her sister to the ground. With a surprising force, she managed to snatch her phone back, where she immediately murmured an apology and hung up. Just like that… She rolled off of Dru and held her face in her hands to calm down. No name had been seen, she hoped... Maybe... Just maybe... Exhaling a breath, she tilted her face up and clenched her hands. "So... Maybe I lied a little."

[Dru Alberts]

Dru was surprised her sister was able to tackle her but she did and even took the phone and hung up on whoever it was. Well that was no fun. Why wouldn't she let her talk to the person? Dru just sighed when she rolled off her, being over dramtic but stop when she saw her face. She looked serious.

When she said she lied it took her a moment to figure it out. "I KNEW IT" she screamed happily. Her sister did have a crush, that made sense to her now. "Was that Adrian or someone else? I knew you had a crush your took pretty to not have people after you" she said happily as she sat up. "You must give me details and i will bug you till i'm happy with the answers."

[Deleted]

Gods it was like ripping teeth out… Speaking of something which every ounce of her being shrieked at her not to. Fortunately Dru didn’t seem to have gotten any ideas just as to who, so that gave her a little flex room. Unfortunately for herself, she had the tendency for brutal honesty.

“Lower your voice! I don’t want anybody knowing yet. Especially the boys.” The Hades leader grimaced. “I’ll give you some answers, but that will be the end of it. Everything stays between us.” She exhaled thinly, momentarily touching her brow as she gathered her thoughts. “Regardless… It most certainly is not Adrian. And it is much more serious than just a ‘crush.’” Ana swallowed, face directed away from Dru, and completely neutral. Her voice lowered slightly further. “A couple weeks ago when I was gone for the weekend? Yeah… I was out with him… And I lost my virginity.” Despite her neutral expression, a hint of a blush gave her cheeks a rosy hue.

[Dru Alberts]

Dru jsut rolled her eyes when her sister shushed her. The boys could be fooled easily enough, but she knew they were still alone in here anyways. Any ways she listened to her sister silently, trying to process the information. Yeah, this definitely stayed between them.

She smiled at her sister and laughed "Okay okay. I demand sister talk at least once a week because you can not leave me out like this" she said shaking her head. "My little Anastasya...all deflowered and such. Its heartbreaking yet inspiring" she said, joking with her sister. "So. Last weekend. Only i need to know is he at least a 8, a 7 is acceptable if he is nice too" she said joking with her sister, she was slightly jealous though. She had found herself someone while Dru couldn't find one with a compass and a detailed map.

[Deleted]

With how easily Dru seemed to process the event, Ana seemed to relax… Even if the red in her face darkened at the mention of deflowering. “Sister talk is acceptable.” She certainly did feel better, not just varying it on her own chest. And something about it was liberating: her sister wouldn’t be a threat, not knowing, but it allowed her a small outlet. It was another relief.

Exhaling and willing it away, she managed a smile as Dru went on about rating. “Well, considering I’d only seen him visually before my injury a couple of times… And that I’ve gotten to know him more through touch than anything else…” She shrugged. “I’d say it’s very good, but that’s my thought. It’s all muddled and different, more complicated with feelings and sounds rather than sight. He has very soft skin though, and a nice torso… and I do love his voice…” She shivered slightly.

[Dru Alberts]

Dru just laughed and put on her hinting voice. "By touching huh.. I'm sure there was a lot of that." she said before breaking out into laughs and putting her hand on her sisters shoulder. "I'm just kidding with you." She was happy for her sister. She deserved it. She went through a lot so happiness, Dru would love for her sister to have some of it. And this guy must provide it for her.

"You must let this kind know. I will literally unleash Hades onto him if he hurts you. I'll go straight to dad. Though I don't think he will." she said with a smile "but serious. I'll go all protective sister, even if your older."

[Deleted]

Anastasya nearly choked, face blushing even redder, before she managed a small laugh. “Yeah… Sure. Teasing.” The Hades Cabin leader placed her hands on her face, willing for it to cool slightly, before she really took like to listen to Dru.

Anxiety knotted in her stomach, and she had to remind herself that Dru still didn’t know who… And that she herself wouldn’t reveal it. Still, the thought of unleashing Hades caused her to worry. Such an action would not only kill Eugene… But if the Gods decided to take a more wrathful approach, it would likely cost her any power she had in relation to her father. Though that was a risk she’d been, and still was willing, to take, it was still an unspoken fear within her. “I… may bring it up. But I’m fairly certain he realizes that I can do the same if so I wanted, too.” That was the truth. But she’d never turn him over. Ever. A protective instinct for him was enough to snuff out any fear or anxiety.

Anastasya ran her hands over her face. “So, what about you? If we’re having girl time… Aren’t you interested in anybody? And even if it isn’t a crush, perse, don’t you find somebody attractive? Hmm?”
