Snapped Back | OPEN

[Cody Davis]

Pain and fog. Thats all Cody could feel. He felt like his entire body was strapped into a electric chair and put on high. His skin crawled and burned, but the worst was his head. He felt like all at once a huge force of pressure had popped out and now a void of pain and fog was left. He knew who he was, barley, he knew that he didn't belong. For all he knew he was dead or suppose to be. Yet it wouldn't take him back. Whatever void he was pulled from didn't call him back. He was stuck. What better punishment than to deal with what he did.

He felt like a broken body. Nothing remained but scars and pain. He managed to open his eyes, and while he was healing his arms and body were still streaked with lighting. That girl, the zeus girl. When she destroyed the kraken it also sent him flying into the ocean. Did they find him? Or did he father wash him ashore to serve his sentence. Lighting marks seemed to tattoo up his body. His hands and legs were restraint to the cot and his mouth burned of Nector and Ambrosia. All his body said to run, flee but he knew he couldn't. His time had come. The voice and pleas abandoned him. Made him believe that he had the chance to relive his glory and took him from a peaceful death to a hellish living. He had been played.

The rumors were swirling around camp, but they weren't really rumors if all of it was true. Cody came back to camp. Cody brought the Kraken back to camp. Cody left, presumably dead, but now he was back again and he was in the infirmary. And Harper had to go see him. Not because of these feelings that were swirling around inside of her, but she felt like she was the only one who truly understood what Cody was going through. To come back to camp as one of the most hated campers around. She had to see him. He couldn't feel alone like she felt for so long.

So she went to the infirmary after she talked herself in and out of the idea several times. But once her feet were moving towards the infirmary, there was no turning back. She arrived and managed to talk the Apollo kids working into letting her see him. It was kind of a perk when your best friend was the leader of their cabin. But she was finally allowed to see him. She paused right outside of his room. She crossed her arms as she got a glance at him. He looked like he'd been through hell and back, probably because he actually did go through hell and back. She took a deep breath as she took a step into his room to announce her presence.

"It's kind of funny, isn't it?" she said calmly as she felt her heart beating in her chest as she felt the tears prickling in her eyes as she walked towards him. "You die to a Kraken, only to come back alive and bring the Kraken back to camp?" She paused as she stopped by his bedside and looked down at him. Even though he went through hell, he still looked as perfect as the day she met him. She couldn't fight back the tears anymore as a couple streaked down her cheek before she whispered, "Why?"

[Cody Davis]

Ever had those moments where you wish someone would just go ahead and let you die? Cody felt that hearing someone walk into the infirmary. Why couldn't it be a nice executioner with a axe for him but instead it was a fate far worst. Harper. If he could even left his head from the bed he would have watched her walk over to him, but he couldn't so instead he laid there, staring at the ceiling dead eyed.Her damn best friend that was the Apollo leader probably let her in, he over heard chiron say no one was allowed. Daven hadn't even show up. Daven. The life he was promised afterwords, the chance back with his sister for good, that was long gone. Died along with the girl who promised it to him. Damn that girl right to hades.

None of that matter though, what mattered was what they were going to do with him. Why. Why. He didn't say anything, just kept looking up, knowing well that hitch in her voice that meant she was crying. Once the voice inside was cut out more things became clear, but his memories were still whipped away. Only blank outlines gave him a idea of how things would have been.

Gods he was tired of crying though. He was tired of being in some big soap drama. Most of all he was tired of hurting others. He wanted them all to just let him go back to hell where he belonged. He wanted them to stop caring about him. He finally turned his head over to her, still dead in the eyes and no emotion on his face. "Why? Well why not?" he said, dead pan, no hitch or meaning in his voice. "After all I am no different than you. I had a chance to be alive again, after my death meant nothing to most of this camp. So it is funny isn't it, how you did the same thing and just get to stroll your way where ever you want while I," he said, pulling on his restraints. "I am a hostage waiting for them to decide the best way to torment me. So don't come in here asking questions you don't actually want the answer to."Everything about his words were harsh and if they were physical could cut through steel. Harper needed to leave him alone, it would only make things worst. He knew part of his past from the girl, a part he could understand wanting to forget. "After all isn't that what you've always done? Use people to your advantage then toss them to the side when you get bored or are no longer happy with it. How many times was it, 2 or 3? Don't pretend to come here now caring about me when you didn't even care back then."

[Harper Jones]

Silence. Her question was met with silence. Did he not care anymore? Did going through hell and back ruin him? Ruin the Cody she used to know. The tears streamed down her face as she reached up to wipe them away. It was very clear that this Cody and the Cody she remembered were two completely different people and she shouldn't waste her time. But yet, there was still a part of her that held on. That hoped that the old Cody would come back. She should've turned away and walked right out and she was going to until she heard his voice.

Why? Well why not? She turned to look at him only to be met with dead eyes. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Harper wished that saying applied to her at this moment, but it didn't. Her breathing hitched as the tears only seemed to come in force as she shook her head. "It wasn't like that... It never was." She reached up to swipe at her cheeks, but it seemed to be a losing effort. "You weren't there for me. Nobody was there for me. He was there for me, but now..." She choked back a sob as she thought of the final words Xenos had said to her when they ended their engagement. But she was going to stand her ground for the most part. She couldn't leave Cody alone like she was all those months ago.

She sat down in a chair right next to his bed as she folded her hands in her lap and looked down at him. "I was never bored with you," she whispered as she sniffled a bit. "I always cared for you... hell, I've always loved you, but back then..." She sighed as she shook her head as she continued whispering, "I was stupid. I was wrong. And I understand why you never want to see me again. I'm sorry."

[Cody Davis]

You know what, Cody wished someone would just come in here and kill him. Hopefully he would stay dead and wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. He was so tired of tears, so tired of the real world. He wanted to go back. This was his eternal punishment. And of course, he was a ass, and she pulled up a chair and just took it all. How annoying? He looked over at her as she sat down, she looked small, scared. Then why was she here. "Ah yes, take a seat. This is my punishment isn't it." he said, cold as he was. She cared for him? Always had? He laughed. A actual laugh. "Sweet cheeks yes yes you were. But that doesn't matter, because I'm not who you should apologize to. That person is long gone." That was for damn sure, that river made sure of it. He looked her in her eyes, all clouded from tears for someone who died years ago. "I'm not your little ex boyfriend. I may have his body and parts of his memories but that kid was whipped away in Lethe. Now stop your usless apologizing and crying, you are wasting your time sweet heart." part of him knew that what he was saying didn't fit right inside how he was feeling. But this newer Cody wanted to be left to die. He didn't want to take more people down with him. 

[Harper Jones]

She was stupid. She was wrong. And she completely understood if Cody never wanted to see her again. Even if this Cody was different than the Cody she used to know. And this Cody was mean. And harsh. The old Cody would never say these words to her, but it didn't mean the words didn't sting. She physically cringed as he talked to her. Sweet cheeks? Was she just a piece of ass to him now? She glanced up from her lap at him and notice the darkness in his face that she missed the last few times. But she could also see the good in him. The old Cody had to be in there somewhere, right?

"I'm not leaving you alone," she said as she wiped more tears away from her face as she sat up straight. If he was going to be harsh to her, she could be harsh right back. "In case you couldn't tell, you're not in the greatest position right now and I know there are so many people out there who would like to tear you to shreds." Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him. "So maybe I'm wasting my time, but you're not a lost cause that you're making yourself out to be. I can still see the old Cody in you."
