Sabotage (OPEN)

[Hannah Nichols]

It was years since Hannah last stepped foot in Camp Half-Blood. The last time she was here was right before she faked her own death and left to go on missions for the Usurpers. And the things she managed to do for the Usurpers were absolutely amazing. She knew the power they held and she loved she could go around the country and demonstrate that power. She was gone for a few years before they called her back to camp. They were planning an attack and they needed for her to scout out their potential attack point to make sure everything would go off without a hitch.

That's why she was on the beach at that particular moment. They were planing an attack by sea, so Hannah had to make sure that everything was suitable for it. She looked out into the ocean in the dying light with her arms crossed over her chest. If anyone didn't know any better, they would have easily mistook her for her twin sister, but Hannah's features were more defined and she had bangs, which her sister did not the last time she saw her. A smirk rested on Hannah's face as she appraised the ocean and slowly nodded her head, approving of the place that they were going to hold their attacks.

[Theo Dean]

Theo whistled as he walked along the beach. It wasn’t often that he got out to the beach to be alone. The ocean often brought out that old, familiar sense of wanderlust and it was no different today. He didn’t know what it was but he was starting to feel anxious again and for a guy like Theo who rarely stayed in one place for too long when he got that calling there was generally only one choice, to answer the call and hit the road for a while.

That being said he was a little conflicted this time which was odd for him. Usually when he got the call to head out into the world it was something that he listened to without hesitation. This time however the choice wasn’t so easy and he didn’t know why. There was his sister of course. Saph never liked when he left for a while but that had never really stopped him before. This wasn’t the same. Whatever he was feeling now was different but walking along the beach and looking out at the ocean he thought he could beat it, whatever it was. He would be back to his old self in no time. He just needed to think of some place to go.

Before he could turn his thoughts to the task however Theo caught sight of someone that turned his mind to other matters entirely. If he wasn’t mistaken that was Hailey standing there in his way and if that was the case well he thought he would enjoy catching the former jackalope girl in such a romantic setting as this with the sun fading in the sky. Approaching her his lips curled into that easy and playful grin that he usually got and he spoke up to announce himself. “I thought you Hephaestus girls liked to hang around the forge and bang away at things, not stand on the beach and watch the sunset.”

[Hannah Nichols]

It was perfect. Hannah's eyes were scanning the horizon as she was picturing the attack. The water was calm enough for it to approach and yet it could stay far enough from the shores so none of the campers could try to do it much damage. Her smirk grew a little bit wider at the thought before she heard someone announce themselves. She whirled around and stared the boy down. He wasn't armed and the way he was talking to her, he sounded like he was confusing her with Hailey. Was Hailey human again? Her look softened as she eyed the boy and she bit the corner of her lip. This... This she could use to her advantage.

She laughed lightly as she tilted her head to the side as she eyed the boy. She didn't know his relation with her twin, but the way he was acting, he was a flirt and most likely flirted with Hailey. If flirting was what he wanted, then flirting was what he would get. "Well," she said as she clicked her tongue and looked up at him. "It's not that much fun to bang in the forges by myself. I usually like to have some company with me."

[Theo Dean]

When she turned to him Theo smiled but he could immediately tell that something was different. For a guy that spent much of his life reading people and noticing the fine details this was not all that surprising but even so he couldn’t pick out what it was when he first saw her. In any case she didn’t give him much time to think about it as while he was trying to figure it out she started speaking to him and what she said certainly threw him for a loop.

"It's not that much fun to bang in the forges by myself. I usually like to have some company with me." Now that was different. He was used to a shyer, more reserved Hailey. He didn’t know what had brought it on but this Hailey definitely didn’t seem reserved. Not that Theo was complaining of course. It was nice to see Hailey coming out of her shell a little or a lot as seemed to be the case this time.

The comment caused Theo to pause which was unusual because he prided himself at rolling with the punches. Still, if this was how she wanted to work things he could play along. Maybe Hailey was finally starting to come around to his advances. “Well maybe you should fix that. If the forges make you lonely it’s not that hard to invite some company along now is it?”

[Hannah Nichols]

Hannah uncrossed one of her arms so she could reach up and twirl a piece of hair as she eyed the boy. She wondered a bit what his relation to Hailey was. He wasn't acting like her boyfriend, but she was pretty sure they were more than just casual buddies. Part of her wanted to know what her sister had been up to lately, but the other part wanted to mess with everything close to her after everything Hailey did to her. And if she could get a little bit of revenge with the boy, then it was worth it to put her Usurper business on the back burners for a little while.

She laughed again as she took a step towards him as she looked up at him through her eyelashes. "Well then..." she said softly as she bit the corner of her lip. "Would you like to come to the forges with me sometime so you can watch me bang?" She looked up at him as she raised her eyebrows at him awaiting his answer.

[Theo Dean]

Wow what had gotten into Hailey. This was like a night and day difference from every other experience he had with the Hephaestus girl to the one that he saw in front of her right now. Maybe she really had decided to get over those nerves after all but this was a flying leap over the girl that had been afraid to even play truth or dare the last time he saw her. Still, he couldn’t deny that he liked this side of her. It was pretty hot.

He seemed to consider her offer for a moment but the smile never left his face. “hmm…That is a very tempting offer though I’ve never been very good at being a passive onlooker.” He watched her step closer to him and decided to step closer to her as well. “You know how I like to really dive in and work with my hands. All those spells, all those intricate gestures and stuff. There’s lots of talent in these hands after all and I would hate to let that go to waste just watching. Maybe you should show me how you bang in the forge. They say the best way to learn is by experience after all.”

[Hannah Nichols]

Hannah's smile grew a little wider as the boy stepped closer to her. He was falling for her bait. Hook. Line. And Sinker. She was going to get him good and get her revenge on her sister. This plan was almost as perfect as the one she was scouting out for the Usurpers. But now was leading up to the truly fun part.

"Work with your hands?" she purred as she tilted her head to the other side as she appraised him. She licked her lips slightly as she looked back up at him. Magic? Her sister was getting involved with a Hecate kid, which was quite the opposite from that Ares boy she was banging. She cocked an eyebrow at the boy as she continued. "You do seem like a hands on guy. One who likes to be involved." She chuckled a bit as she looked up at him through her eyelashes. "But I can demonstrate to you sometime. I could even do it now if you want," she said softly as she leaned in a little closer to him.

[Theo Dean]

Oh he had swallowed the bait alright. It was completely out of character for Hailey to come onto him like this but at the moment that thought had faded to the back of his mind. He had liked Hailey from the very beginning but he had always viewed her as kind of a long term project. Now that she was turning that idea around on him he was all too happy to comply as it seemed like he was finally going to get what he had been hinting at ever since turning Hailey back into a human.

Except as she leaned closer and the things that he had wanted seemed to come right into his grasp Theo hesitated for just a moment. This was all so surreal, so very different than what he had come to expect and even though he wanted her like this he suddenly got a very uneasy feeling. Of course that didn’t stop him from stepping closer and moving his hands up to rest on her hips so that he could hold her in place as he looked at her. “I do like demonstrations but what’s gotten into you Hailey? Are you sure this is what you really want?”

[Hannah Nichols]

This was it. This was the moment she was going to get back at Hailey for ditching her for the Hunters. It all seemed too perfect. She would get with the guy Hailey was flirting with and ruin him for her. And maybe her twin senses were tingling or it was in the boy's body language, but the two of them never kissed until now. Hannah was going to change that. Being an identical twin did have its perks after all. But as she leaned in closer to him, he started to have his second thoughts.

But they weren't concerning second thoughts since he did have his hands on her hips. She bit her lower lip as she raised an eyebrow at him. "Nothing's gotten into me," she said as she reached up to put a hand on his shoulder as she looked at him. She leaned a little closer to him as she kept eye contact. "But I really do want this." And then she leaned in to close the gap between their lips as her hand crept up from his shoulder to the back of his head.

[Theo Dean]

Theo wasn't really sure what to think about all of this. On the one hand he liked Hailey. She was a sweet girl and she definitely seemed to like him albeit a little mistrustfully. Theo wasn't the type to fall in love but he could definitely see them having a lot of fun together if that was what she wanted. On the other hand here was Hailey right in front of him practically throwing herself at him. She didn't seem drunk, in fact, she seemed to be very much aware of the situation and yet he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong here. Was this right? That was something he had certainly never asked himself before when he was with a girl he liked but he was asking it now. Should that be a sign?

He supposed it probably should have been but then Hailey was leaning into him and kissing him and man what a kiss. Certainly nothing chaste or guarded about it at all and when she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into the kiss he found himself kissing her back despite his reservations. 'It was her hair.' He thought and his hands slipped around her waist and pulled her to him. 'Why wouldn't she say anything about changing her hair?' but that thought was a little distant as hormones began to take over.

[Hannah Nichols]

As Hannah kissed the boy, she made sure to put everything into it. She wanted it to be completely mind blowing for the boy. Basically, everything he wouldn't get if he was kissing her twin instead. She held him close as she really worked over his lips. And he seemed to be falling for it since he was pulling her in closer and kissing her back. She smirked against his lips as she moved in a bit closer so she was pressed up against him before she started to nibble on his lower lip and suck on it slightly. After a couple of moments, she pulled away from his lips as she panted and looked up at him through her eyelashes with a lustful look.

[Theo Dean]

The kiss was pretty amazing and Hailey was definitely putting everything she had into it but he would be lying if he said it was what he was expecting. Maybe he had just gotten used to the shy Hephaestus girl who could hardly even look at him without blushing but then again he guessed he would have built up some pretty intense sexual frustration if he had spent so long as a jackalope. Maybe it was just finally boiling over here on the beach in the dying light. He just didn't know...but it was a pretty awesome kiss if he did say so himself.

When she pulled away from him giving him that lusty look Theo grinned at her. “If I had known this was how you played Candyland I would have suggested the game myself. You sure there’s nothing up? Maybe this is another side effect of getting turned into a human again.”

[Hannah Nichols]

Candyland? Oh her dear, dear sister was up to her normal silliness. It was only a matter of time before her and this boy did Disney movie nights and popcorn. Her sister still had an innocent side to her and it probably acted up a lot more around hotties like this one in front of her. She laughed lightly as she bit her lower lip at the boy.

"Didn't you know," she said in a low voice as she dragged each word a little longer. "I love playing Candyland. It just gets me... so excited." She chuckled underneath her breath as she looked up at him. "Maybe it's a side effect," she said as she looked down at his chest so she could toy with the fabric he was wearing with her other hand. She smirked as she looked back up at him and cocked an eyebrow. "Is that going to be a problem for you?"

[Theo Dean]

Theo chuckled at her Candyland comment. He wasn't sure how that figured into their game night, maybe it was some kind of kinky fetish, some girls were into some pretty weird stuff after all, but if this was any preview he thought it would be a lot more fun than he had originally expected. Still, if Candyland got her motor running why hadn't she taken the bait any of the other times he had flirted with her? It wasn't like he needed any gimmicks to get things started on his part.

Glancing down at her wondering hand he wondered if this really might be an unfortunately side effect of her de-jackalopifcation. If so Hailey might have jumped on the first person to come along which definitely wouldn't have been good. In that case it would be more like he was taking advantage of her and Theo wasn't that kind of guy for all his womanizing ways. That being said, dear gods she wasn't making this easy on him. "A problem? Weeeeell we probably should investigate it a little first just to be safe. There might be other things up too. Wouldn't want you to get horny again right?"

[Hannah Nichols]

Was it going to be a problem for him? He wasn't having second thoughts, was he? Hannah couldn't have that. She really couldn't have it at all. She couldn't allow him to have second thoughts and back out of it. She was so close that she could almost taste it. She would get her revenge one way or another.

She laughed lightly as she looked at his lips. "I think you think too much," she said before she leaned in to kiss him good and hard another time. However, before he could get truly satisfied from her kiss, she pulled away from his lips as she glanced up at his lips. "Do you want to go back to your cabin?" she whispered to him a bit huskily.
