One Real Home | Dem Demeters

[Dawn Kale]

Dawn could travel the world a million times and never get tired of stand on top of this hill. She breathed in as she saw the wide spread of camp run below her. Campers were in activity seeing how it was mid day. Nothing had changed. Even the air smelled the same and the grass below her welcomed her like a old friend. She almost floated back to the building that was her one real home.

She had been through a lot here, tears of sadness and joy, hugs of endearment and terror, laughs that brought her to her knees and a love that was indescribable. She hadn't told her dad a lot about camp, most of what she did tell him was happy though. All of those memories seemed to float to this once place, this one wooden building that was covered in vines and flowers. Where the scent of soil and fragrance seemed to be ever present. This was home, a real home that she would never be ever to leave fully.

Her siblings were what made this home and were why she was back. She missed them so much she didn't even take in the site of her cabin as she made her way up to the door and walked into a familiar comfort that she hadn't realized she had missed so much. "Hello? Anyone home?"

[Harper Jones]

Harper didn't have anything better to do that day than to lay on her bed and stare up at the ceiling. It wasn't like she was getting asked out on dates like the first two times she arrived at camp and nobody really wanted to hang out with her since the betrayal still stung the camp. Hades, she rarely got to see her siblings as well because they had more of a social life than she did at the moment. So she laid on her bed staring up at her ceiling just wondering where her life went wrong.

However, she didn't get to think for long since a blast from the past walked through the cabin door. Harper hadn't heard that voice in a very long time. Not before she ran away from camp the last time. She immediately sat up as she looked towards the door. She looked like the girl from her memories, but she was older. Was her mind playing tricks on her in her boredom? "Dawn?" she asked as she slowly got up from the bed.

[Dawn Kale]

Half of Dawn had expected that she would have to hunt down her sister, Harper had always been known to never be in the cabin, always out with others doing cabin leader things or enjoying time with her friends. Needless to say she was pleasantly surprised.

"Harper!" Old Dawn emerged slightly in the tone of her voice but she knew she probably looked different. Older at least, more put together than the younger version. Certainly more fashionable. She dropped her bags by the door and ran over to her sister, engulfing her in a hug. "Gods I've missed you so much. I heard you were back at camp from Chiron, we stay in touch, but I heard and so i rushed back! Ive been doing so much but I'm just so glad to see you!" She said, vertically all in one breath by some miracle. Needless to say she was excited to see her sister.

[Harper Jones]

Harper wasn't imaging things. There was a Dawn right there in front of here and the proof was there as she was engulfed into a big hug. Dawn's hugs. It was a long time and she missed them so much. Harper squeezed her sister back as she savored the moment. Gods, things were starting to feel slightly normal around here. She pulled away slightly just as Dawn decided to ramble in one big breath. She chuckled a bit as she squeezed her sister. "Yup. I'm back. And I'm so glad you're back too." She smiled to herself as she pulled away again to give her sister a good once over. "Everyone said you went back to live with your dad, but I have a feeling that's not all that happened?"

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia had been out with her dog, Frederick, on a run. When she returned home, she heard voices inside. Harper and Rowan? No... wait. Wait. Tears were already coming to her eyes as she opened the door and saw none other than Dawn in front of her, with Harper. "Dawn," she breathed, starting to tear up even more. Part of the reason Accalia was so... down lately was because she had felt so abandoned. By Dawn, by Jacob, by Harper, by Sebastian... by so many. Seeing Dawn come back... well, needless to say she was losing her cool a little bit.

She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her sister and then stepped back, glancing at Harper and giving her a soft smile. They had their own interesting reunion. But they were okay now, as far as Accalia was concerned.
