Camp Half-Blood V.2 - Open and Accepting!

[Kimburtrach]

Storm is once again in a blood-rage, and she shouts to Finn. "Finn! We're gonna need another flare for Mira! I'll cover for you both!!" She rushes through the numbers of Nipholi. "I thought we were done with these guys?" She yells. Another blast of her lightning breath, and Nipholi screamed as they disintegrated. Along with her blood-rage, weaker this time, she was also very annoyed. The Nipholi had a second wave prepared.
The nerve!
She let loose another flock of arrows, keeping in a circle around Mirabelle and Nick.

Mirabelle caught one last glimpse of Nick before the Niphoi around her rocketed into the sky, taking her with them. She wanted to scream, but her lips had frozen shut. She could hear Cashmere letting out heart-wrenching squeals. Don't look down, don't look down... Mirabelle looked down. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw just how high up she was. Cashmere chased after them below, pushing through the throng of writhing snow creatures. Mirabelle tried to struggle, but it seemed that the only parts of her body that hadn't been frozen were her eyes and nose. The Niphoi glided almost effortlessly into the clouds as they clutched the demigod popsicle. The battle faded from view, causing Mirabelle's heart to start beating even faster. Her breath came in short, shallow gasps. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Panicked tears streamed down her face, but froze on her cheeks almost instantly. Oh gods. Oh gods. She was certain that she would've been sick if her mouth wasn't frozen over. She tried praying to Zeus, but nothing happened. Aeolus, Boreas, Mom, Mr. D, anybody! she silently screamed. Blackness threatened the corners of her vision. Though the clouds, Mirabelle could just make out the city stretching below, but Central Park was nowhere to be seen. The Niphoi carrying her were passing over the outskirts. We must be going really fast, she reckoned uneasily. Her mind spun with terror, and she was certain that she was having a full-blown panic attack by now. The darkness closed in around her eyes and her vision swam before her. The last thing she recalled feeling was the icy grip of pure fear before she completely blacked out.

"Why thank you," Juliet replied with a grin. She stepped into the warm embrace of the brick cabin, emitting a soft sigh as heat flooded her body. Most of the Hephaestus cabin seemed to be absent; they were probably at the forge working on some new stuff. Juliet's hazel eyes scanned the room until they alighted upon a rack of winter equipment that looked brand new. It wasn't all that well organised, by the looks of things, but then again, she lived in the messiest cabin in camp - if anyone could find a pair of skates in a pile of skis and sleds, it would be her. Keeping an eye out for any Hephaestus campers nearby, she dug around in the pile until she pulled out a pair of figure skates. "Size six; way too small," she muttered under her breath. She continued her search, trying to make as little noise as possible.

"Like, you won't find a group more trustworthy than us, at Camp Half-Blood, man," Chuck beamed. His grin faltered when Megan's voice shifted. "Yikes, that sounds, like, gnarly," he stated, wincing sympathetically. "Like, do you want some ambrosia or nectar for that, man? Or like, some tea, at least? I can like, take you to the Big House and get you fixed up, man. Plus, like, you should totally meet Chiron and Mr. D if you're, like, gonna stay."

Cami scowled at Logan as she shook her right hand to extinguish the flames, but a slight smile tugged at her lips. When her hand was safely fire-free, she swung her fist into his shoulder. It was intended to be playful, but the punch turned out to be rather forceful instead. "You suck," she blatantly informed him, folding her arms over her chest once more.

My shoulders slumped in content as we stepped inside the warm Cabin 9. It seems the place is empty, no doubt all the Hephaestus kids are probably down at the forge. Armor, weapons and equipment lined the walls, iron chains and hooks hanging all kinds of expertly crafted gear from the ceilings. It's certainly an impressive display. Juliet went over to a pile of equipment to search for some skates, I stood back to watch the door in case someone came by.

"Mira, wait!" I called after her as she ran off to try and help Nicholas, at the same time, reinforcements of Nihpos began to trickle through the trees. I tried to dart after Mirabelle, but as soon as I turned to do so, something cold hit me in the back. It seems the Niphos finally got over their fear and decided to tackle me all at once. Three of them piled over my back, knocking me right over. I fell on my stomach, the impact causing my sword to slip from my grasp; It lied just out of my reach. "G-Get off me!" I struggled desperately, but with three Niphos and more on the way, my aura wasn't enough to stop them.

Frost snaked down my back, and over my neck, my heat only capable of slowing the process. My legs were stiff and my arms were losing their feeling as I tried to reach out for my sword. "H-He-lp!" The words barely escaped me, coming out in a shaky wheeze. My breaths began to slow as the ice gained purchase over my body. I tried to summon fire around me, anything, but it wasn't working. I'm too cold, too scared. Fear and panic gripped my heart as the will ebbed from my frozen limbs.

cj seems to snap out of it when finn calls out for help. she runs over to him. slashing at the niphos around finn. "gods, no, no, no," she murmurs. "hey finn," she says in a shaky voice as she tries to fight off the niphos. "don't you, uh, have cool fire powers?" a thin layer of frost is creeping up her sword, though it falls off when it hits a niphos.

"oh." he looks a bit disappointed, but he doesn't argue. "see you later, i guess."
he walks back towards the cabins. "well, now that i have nobody to talk to, i dunno what to do." he shivers, rubbing his shoulders. "and i wish this darn snow would stop." she glances at nick. "yeah. i can see where he's coming from." she sighs. "even though it would be great to have some fast travel that's not a bus, i don't think i would trust a dragon- a monster that can kill us, may i remind you- to take us there."

"yeah, they go straight back to tarturus." he narrows his eyes as she says that trust gets you killed. "that was definitely, ah, 'gnarly.' and really weird. i've literally never sounded like that when i had a cold." he shrugs. "must be pretty bad. or..." his grin widens. "you're possessed!" he waggles his fingers at her, making "ghost" sounds to sound spookier. he laughs.

"bye, lovebirds," she says, snickering. she runs off back towards camp.
as she reenters camp, she wonders what she could do. the snow is deep, which makes it hard to do anything. "gods, this sucks," she mumbles, and changed her path to head back to the ares cabin.

I could not move as the ice began to cover my face, the biting cold beginning to drag me into exhaustion. Dad, please... Help me! I pleaded within my mind for my voice would not work. My eyes closed shut and I thought it was over when I heard her voice. CJ? My eyes snapped open, the weight over my back lessening as CJ drove back one of the Niphos that held me down. My eyes widened in shock as I saw her; she'd come to save me. In that momentary shock, I found strength slowly returning to me as CJ fought to protect me. I grit my teeth, calling out to the flames to come to me. I don't care how cold it is, I won't take no for an answer!

Responding to my fierce command, flames snaked up my arms and legs before engulfing my entire body in a strong and roaring fire. The Niphos shrieked, bursting into dust as the fire was too intense for them to resist. The ice melted instantly and the fire gave me the strength to pull myself to my knees now that I was free from the grip of the Niphos. "CJ..." I murmured, my voice raspy, "Thank you." I smiled at her, deeply grateful; If it wasn't for her, I might've been captured. I grabbed my sword and pulled myself to my feet. I was exhausted, but I couldn't give up now; everyone was still in trouble.

cj turns around in shock when finn- and the niphos- burst into flames. a grin spreads across her face. she wraps her arms around finn, and almost immediately pulls away, her face pink. "i, uh, didn't think. sorry." she gives him an apologetic grin. "and, uh, i didn't actually do that much. but thanks."

Sam squealed as Donovan pulled her into him, though soon she found herself smiling. She began giggling and just wrapped her arms around the boy's neck. "It is really nice in here." She admitted, letting go of the boy. She walked back over to the door and leaned up against the frame. "Let's get going, yeah?" She asked, raising a brow. "How long does it take one person to change a shirt?" She asked with a raised brow, though she was still smiling.

Nick watched Mirabelle fight towards him, and eventually got to his feet, but then was promptly shoved back down again. He watched as Mirabelle was captured. Nick felt broken. He let Rista drop from his hand and sat on his knees, staring off into nothingness. She was gone. Mirabelle...was gone. Nick felt a few tears slide down his cheek, though he was sure no one noticed. They had frozen to the bottom of his chin. He watched as the Niphoi attacked, though none seemed too concerned with him. They knew he would be easy to destroy. And they weren't wrong.

Logan let out a huff of air when she punched his side. "Damn, Cam." He said with a huff, though he was proud of himself for the accidental rhyme. As she fired back at him, he bit his tongue, very badly wanted to make a not-so-age-appropriate joke, but he stopped himself. "I know." He said with a roll of his eyes. "I'm the worst." He said with an over dramatic sigh. He then kicked the dirt with his shoes. "You know, those kids on the quest are gonna get themselves killed." He said with a huff.

I let the flames around my body die down, allowing my usual heat aura to remain. To my surprise, CJ hugged me, stuttering bashfully as she pulled away. My expression was one of shock, before melting into contentment. A warm smile spread over my face as my cheeks flushed pink. The heat seemed to sense the swell of emotion in my heart, for the flames began to flicker around my arms again. "C'mon, lets help the others." I purred; somehow, I didn't feel so tired anymore. I turned, glancing over the battlefield as I spotted a despondent Nicholas in the distance, the Niphos towering over him, ready to attack.

"Nick!" I shouted, racing towards him with my weapons raised. I swung at the Niphos that was poised over him, my flame encased sword slipping through it's form with ease, causing it to explode into dust. I took up a defensive position, shooting flames from the tip of my sword to drive back the Niphoi and create space. "Nick, c'mon get up!" I grabbed his arm and tried to hoist him up, his empty expression causing me to feel a bit of fear. I haven't seen Mirabelle in a while, please don't tell me...

-Unconscious-

Cashmere tried to chase the Niphoi that had taken her friend away, but she didn't make it far before they disappeared. The pit bull circled back to where Mirabelle's scent left off. She paced around that spot, emitting a soft, plaintive whine. She wandered over to Nick, sensing that he was distressed. Her tail wagged side-to-side but stayed low, indicating that she was still stressed but she was happy to see him. Cashmere nuzzled Nick's hand, whining once more. A faint trace of Mirabelle's distinctive scent clung to him, easing the pit bull's nerves a tiny bit.

As she sorted through the mess of winter gear, Juliet's shoulder nudged a pair of skis that were leaning against the wall. The skis clattered to the floor with a loud crack, actually bouncing a tiny bit before they settled. Juliet's breath caught in her throat. If there was anyone nearby, no doubt they'd heard the sound. She resumed searching, more frantically this time. She didn't care how much noise she was making anymore. Quickly, she pulled a pair of size seven hockey skates out of the heap. She pushed aside the pile of items she'd already sorted through before returning to the search. Something metallic caught her attention. It was buried beneath some ski poles and a pile of old coats, but Juliet had an eye for shiny things. She pushed the coats away and the poles clattered to the ground. Figure skates, size eight. A grin broke out across her features as she scurried to her feet, cradling both pairs of skates in her arms. "I got 'em, let's go!" she half-whispered to Chloe, turning to lead the way out of Cabin 9.

"Quest?" Cami inquired, tilting her head curiously. "What quest?" It made sense that a quest would be organised, given the circumstances, but this was the first that she'd heard of it. No doubt Chiron was informing Artemis all about whatever quest Logan was talking about, but Cami hadn't seen the goddess since she'd gone to meet with him and Mr. D.
