BUMP! Check out Jors new pretty plot page I made for him

Ebonie hadn't left the Big House for three days. There was nothing worse than living in that place all alone. She had heard rumors of a cave that a previous oracle had used, maybe she could take a look at it? So far, no one had told her where it was. She had also only met two people so far so that didn't help very much. She decided to relieve her boredom and cultivate her curiosity by exploring the cabins. She didn't go inside, obviously. But she took her time studying each one from the outside. It fascinated her how each God or Goddess was individually represented. The barbed wire, the owl symbol, the flowers. It was pretty easy to pick out which cabin was which.

Soon she came across a cabin that looked ordinary. Simple, elegant... even poetic in a way. Something you'd expect to see in a simple poem or story. But then the sun hit the cabin directly and Ebonie had to shield her eyes.

Ebonie wasn't sure whether to nod or shake her head at the adrenaline rush comment. Luckily he put her down before she had time to answer and made sure the window was closed tight. "Yeah, I guess it was kind of exciting." Truthfully? She had stolen before, being rich and all doesn't really give you as much excitement as you think it would. Be she had only done it once or twice, then decided it wasn't really her thing.

She started to climb out of the bushes and away from the window in order to get some distance on the Aphrodite cabin, she assumed he was following her. "Hey, what's your name anyway?" She called back to him.

She shrugged awkwardly as he guessed the situation with the oracle. She turned bright red when he complimented her, "Well, uh, thanks." She muttered. She knew oracles weren't supposed to be in love or date or anything, where they allowed to receive compliments like that? Let alone be all alone with a guy in the cabin of love? She was probably breaking about a hundred rules right now. But who would tell, right? And what's with that no dating rule, anyway? She shook off the thought.

"Guess we should stick together then." She commented. They could avoid Ares together. Oh, joy. Another reason to get in trouble with the Oracle. She felt her skin tingle when he grabbed her arm and almost flipped him over. She was used to using self defense against people who grabbed her like that, but she knew he was only trying to help. "back out the window?" she asked.

"Oh," Ebonie suddenly realized she had not idea how you became a cabin leader. Did that mean that this kid would have to... kill the current one? She decided not to ask but she was sure her face was getting pale. She tried to subtly move a little farther away from him. She was alone in the cabin with a possible murderer after all. Not too mention the way to talked with his eyebrows was sort of freaking her out.

He then crossed over to another drawer and she let herself relax a little. Though, that smirk he gave her seemed friendly. She needed to stop judging these people so much. She needed to stop thinking that everyone was trying to hurt her, but that was a difficult thing to do. She sighed and stood up to follow him as he searched the room. "Definitely not Aphrodite. My parents weren't Demi-Gods either." He was going to figure out her secret too. Maybe she could confide in him about how freaky it was talking to the current Oracle, she was such an old lady and she just sat around in that attic. But she was almost ready to go, which meant Ebonie was about to take Delphi all for herself. Yaaaaaay.

Ebonie started to laugh, "I didn't know you were looking for a specific shirt this whole time!" She exclaimed.

"Schedule? Seems like a useful thing to know as a thief. How do you get your hands on those?" She decided she needed to know the Ares cabin schedule, and needed to stay away from them as much as possible. Ebonie had gotten on their bad side because she wouldn't tel them who her 'Godly parent' was. Little did they know she didn't even have one. She was going to have to come up with a story pretty quick if she wanted to blend in around here. So far she hadn't thought of any good ideas. "Yeah, that makes sense. They would've come running at such a loud noise. Or just thought that someone was peeking on them, which they wouldn't mind," she guessed.

"Actually Greek mythology is the only thing I really did study," and it was true. The stories had distracted her from her messed up mob boss family life. She shuddered at the thought and was brought back to reality by him climbing in the window. She was a quite a bit shorter than him so she was grateful when he offered his hand, she took it and climbed into the window behind him, but the smell of perfume almost made her want to climb back out. "That is awful," she exclaimed, using her free hand to plug her nose.

"So... that's not your cabin then?" She asked slowly. Of course it's not you idiot, why would he use the window if it was?She chastised herself for asking such a stupid question. As his smirk grew wider she knew he was getting a crazy idea, and she would probably agree to it. When the idea was presented she nodded, "I'll help you, why not? It's not like I have many enemies yet... or friends." She shrugged.

She glanced over the bushes to the Ares cabin, they seemed to have decided that she was beneath his notice at this point. She let out a sigh of release and turned to her new partner in crime. "So, what's the plan?"
