Larissa Souza

The moment that Rissa placed her hand into his she knew that it was going to be an eventful evening. Everything about the man radiated fun for her and him. She smirked a little as she moved against him and then he moaned which sent a new type of shock wave down her body. "Oh really?" She commented back with a smirk and pulled him along to the dance floor. He body swaying to the music  every step that she took. 

He followed her without any dismay and she soon started enjoying herself. However, a slow song came on and his hands went to her hips and she soon followed by placing her arms around his neck, pushing herself closer to him. "So, tell me.." She started while finding his eyes once again. "How is camp without me here?" She questioned him knowing that she was about to tell him that she wasn't going to go back to new Rome at the end of the summer. She had made plans to stay at camp halfblood.

Rissa couldn't help but laugh a little as he told her that she would wake the whole camp up. "Well, they would get a laugh at how you are holding me." She mused at the thought and smirked. However, as she held his ass in her hand she couldn't help but think a little more. If his ass felt like this, what else felt like this? She was about to say something else when he said his next comment. The butterflies in her stomach, if they weren't there, they were there now. "What all am I going to see?" She questioned with a smirk on her face. It wasn't like he was going to see it but god, just the way that he spoke turned her on. The things that the man did to her. 

Honestly, if anyone else was watching at the moment, she would curse them to hell and back. She was enjoying the whole thing that was James at the moment. He had just taken off his shirt and she'll be damned. He wasn't that little boy anymore. She touched his abs, allowing her fingers to dip into the crevasses. She bit her lip a little more, as her eyes wildly went to his. She swallowed hard but knew that this was something that she wanted. When she told him to help her, he agreed. She could feel his fingers on her skin and it burned like fire. Something that she couldn't help but love the feeling of. He pulled her shirt up slowly and she lifted her arms up so he could get the shirt over it. She blushed a some when he spoke to her father. She wondered what the god would do if he cared about his kids. "I should thank you mom too huh.." she grinned as she reached back behind her and undid her bra, letting it slide down her arms and onto the ground. "It's only fair right?" She questioned him as he was bare up top and now she was as well. She pushed herself against him again and this time wrapped her arm around his neck, allowing her fingers to play in his hair a little. "Thank you, Tyche for this amazing man in front of me." She said in a way copying him just a little.

Zoren because how cute. :3 

Rissa was enjoying herself at the party. Dancing and singing along to some of the songs that she knew. Of course, she was dancing with other guys, who didn't want to dance with her? She had caught sighed of Helena and talked to her for a bit but it was then that James had gotten her attention. She hated to leave the girl but she seemed to have another distraction as well so it wasn't that bad. James had gotten her out onto the dance floor once more and the other guys moved away from her, which in a way she was glad about since there was only one person that she wanted attention from and now that she was getting it she couldn't help but have a smile all over her face. 

It was soon that the party was over and she almost had a pout on her face as it meant that she was going to have to leave James but when he moved down to whisper in her ear that the night wasn't over she couldn't help but fell her stomach flip a little. What was he planning for her? Looked like she was going to have to wait. He grabbed her hand and lead her out of the cabin and soon she was thrown over his shoulder. She couldn't help but laugh a little. "James." She giggled out more and she came face to face with his ass. She couldn't help but smirk a little at the thought before she grabbed a handful of it. "Oh, nice ass Mr. Selway." She grinned though it was pretty quiet so that she didn't wake anyone up. She said it just loud enough for him to hear her. 

She soon found out where she was when he sat her on her feet. She glanced around, they were at the Lake. Her head titled in question but it was answered with a kiss on her cheek and him saying that he wanted to go skinny dipping. Her eyebrows went up and she smirked. "Oh?" she said smirking as she looked around but turned back just in time for him to take his shirt off. She swallowed hard as she watched his muscles move with every movement he made. Biting her lip, she let her hand move up to touch his abs before she was pulled close to him. Being that close to him made her mind foggy, but it cleared soon as his next sentence came from his mouth. "I'm more than okay with that." She smirked as she moved his hands to her shirt, making him grab the hem right before she moved in to kiss him deeply. "You wanna help me out?" She questioned him a little as she moved barely an inch from his lips. Oh, she was going to have fun with this. She wanted him forever and now she was able to have him. But the only issue was she wanted him more than just this. She wanted all of him. His heart the most. 

Rissa had been so truthful to James. She had loved every moment that she got with him. He was special to her. In more ways than one. He had her heart even though he didn't know it. She smiled when he said good. He was everything that she needed but would she have the strength to tell him that she did? That was going to be the whole thing. She had the whole summer to try for it. 

A smile came to her face as she listened to James speak about how the name sounded familiar. "Maybe." She started. "They would have to have gone here for a while." She told him as she shrugged a little. One would think that Rissa would remember someone by the name but she didn't. There were a whole couple of summers that she was zoned out and falling head of heels for the man that was in front of her. 

She honestly couldn't believe that he was yelling to the gods. She had to wonder if one of them would listen to him. If they found it entertaining. She had a curious thought about it. Honestly, she would love for one of the gods to shine down on them. Maybe even his mom, giving them both some luck about being together. She giggled some more at his comment but couldn't help but noticed the way his face changed when she told him it could be a little more. The look almost had her fall to her knees. But he yelled once again and then time Rissa couldn't help but laugh more. "I get it, fine yell all you want." She mused as she shook her head. 

The whole place was jamming and she couldn't honestly believe that she was here with them all in the ring that they had made. She glanced around the place watching all of them play and then she couldn't help but glance up at James who seemed to play with just as much ease as they all were. She grinned brightly as he began to sing his part. Everything about this man made her want to jump him right then and there. If he only knew that much. 

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied

As soon as the last words come from her mouth, there were cheers that erupted from all over. She grinned as she stood up and allowed one of her brothers to get her spot. She ruffled his hair a little before walking over to James just as he handed off the guitar to another. She couldn't help but smile on her face as she grabbed his hand and walked him over to a darker spot around the bonfire. "Time to cash in that promise of mine." She mused as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to meet her lips. It was moments like this that she loved the most. Being absolutely all his. She walked backward some, knowing that he would follow her. Why wouldn't he, if their lips were still locked together? It didn't take long for her to remove her lips from his and step back a couple of steps only to have him close in on her again. 

End RP

The sun was starting to set, giving off pretty colors of pinks and oranges and some purples. The campers were starting to wind down a little, bringing some quiet to the place. The younger kids were getting ushered into their cabins since they were starting to get a little tired, one could tell by the way they were rubbing their eyes. It was about that time that her cabin mates had wanted to have a little fun. Saying something about singing and playing out near the bonfire. The thought of having fun with her siblings made her smile. She hadn't gotten to spend the time she wanted with them when she got in yesterday, as her day was pretty much taken up by a certain someone and then that party that happened at cabin 12. But who was really talking about that at the moment? She smirked as the memories of last night played in her mind as she helped her siblings bring out some of the instruments and other things that were needed. She even brought out her box drum when her siblings started singing. 

Larissa began to clap to the song that they were playing. It was pretty much an upbeat song and everyone seemed to join in. This time, unlike others she wasn't singing but she was beating on her box drum. A bright smile plastered all over her face. She was having such a fantastic time, that she got up from her drum and started dancing around. Grabbing some of her sisters and spinning them around. Heck, even her brother had turned her around. There were even others that started coming over. Soon the Apollo children had a mess of older campers around them and Rissa had been dancing around with all of them, trying to get them all in a good mood. 

@ Lilythe Rayne

The girl seemed to be a little surprised by her forthcoming. When Rissa thought about it as well it shocked her too. But it was something that she wanted to do. She needed to get away from Kyle there. "Oh no, I love it there. I just needed some time away for a bit, you know. So much seriousness to much at a time." She laughed a little as she took a sip of her drink. She watched the girl chuckle a little with her question and turned around just in time to see James flip a card to the other camper that Helena was nodding to. "OH, I see." She mused turning back to the young girl and was just about to say something else to her when a voice came into their conversation. 

She turned to James with a bright smile. He had asked her to dance with him. "Of course." She grinned happily as she grabbed his hand just in time to see the man that Helena motioned to come up. She threw the girl a wink before turning her attention to James once again. "So, about that dance?" She questioned as she pushed herself self against him, trying to move around him and the other that was around them. She pulled on his hand and headed to the dance floor. Just as she got there, she used his hand to spin herself around and she smirked up at him as she began to dance around. 

She remembered the whole thing. Just like it was yesterday. How they stopped talking, even to the point that they would walk by each other and not even acknowledge each other. It was heartbreaking there for a while with Rissa, Which was one of the reasons why she had decided that she was going to go to New Rome. It was all because of Amber, and if she had to be truthful about it, she would have done the same thing as well. She wouldn't want her person to be around the other person that had him already in ways that she wanted him. She laughed a little at the annoyed look on his face. "You thought you were in love." she hated the fact that he had been with Amber, but that was his history. "Don't worry about it." She told him as she placed a hand on his cheek knowing that he was thinking about their relationship. "I'm here now." She grinned trying to catch his eyes. She knew that things were going to be right for them. Just had to give it time to work out. 

Her mouth dropped open a little as he joked with her thought she couldn't help but laugh with him. "Hey now," She said with a small teasing pout. "It's all the time," She grinned this time. She couldn't help but love being around him like this. It had been so long since she had been able to be with him like this. He had been with Amber for a while and then right before she broke up with him, Rissa got with Kyle. Things happened for a reason she guessed. However, the conversation back to his sister and she nodded her head. "I know so." She grinned as she once again tried to catch his eyes. She didn't know what it really felt like since she didn't have a sibling before she came here. But now that she had the siblings that she did, she knew that she would do just about anything for them. When the words came from his mouth she couldn't help but wipe her eyes a little. "Honestly you're the best thing that has ever happened to me too," she told him and she was letting her true feelings come out. He was being so kind to her and she knew that she needed to be that way with him. Especially with the way that she felt about him at the moment. 

"Oh I'm more than sure it was a sibling." She mused at his question as they walked to the cabin. "I've never met them so maybe it was before our time." She shrugged thinking about it some more. She was pretty sure that the writer could be her sibling, hell it would be pretty interesting to know that much. She had already met some of her siblings that were famous anyways. Most of them had siblings that were famous. Like James. She was sure that he had someone out there that was an expert gambler. They just never really talked about them much. Only her father would know that for sure. But speaking about her sibling, she watched James get excited about getting to the cabin and loved that he had always had a way with her family. Even if some of them had a crush on him. They would just have to stand in line because she was going to be the first one that got a chance with him. 

Rissa stopped in her tracks as she watched James yell to the gods. "JAMES!" She laughed at him while holding her belly. He had always been something to her, this time he was shouting it to the gods. What would her father think about this. Probably nothing. She mused and shook her head a little. "Well, if you do well enough I'll give you more than just a little kiss." She sent the same wink back at him. Hoping to get him more excited. However, his next comment about her being the most beautiful lady in the whole world made her blush hard. "Nothing like it huh." She mused, the blush was still there on her face. He had gotten her pretty good on that one. "Well, I can't wait to kiss that handsome face of yours." She grinned. He really did have her wrapped around his finger. Always would too. 

She did wonder if her siblings had missed her and James made a valid point. If he missed her then there was no doubt in her mind that her siblings had as well. Just as much as she had missed them. "Oh trust me. You can have me anytime you want. The siblings will be okay." she said a little breathless. The door opened and of course, everyone jumped to their feet. Jamming out with the siblings was one thing that they all enjoyed. "Of course you do." She giggled and shook her head. Knowing that she would have to fight with her siblings to sit next to James. However, at the moment, she would allow them to sit where they wanted to. She knew that she was going to have his attention because this song demanded it. She sat on her drum and started the beat and the others cheered a little as James started singing. She smiled and winked at him. 

Keeping his eye contact, she could see some of the girls that were next to him pout in jealousy. She only smirk at the thought of him being hers. 

You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all

She keep eye contact with James and beat on her drum. Her eyes closed a little for a moment trying to take it all in.  Her eyes slowly opened as she started the next verse.

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

She locked eyes with James again this time and she smiled more. In the next part they would be singing together and she had always loved how their voice mixed together. Almost like it was meant to be. She wondered if her father or even his mother had given them to each other. Honestly, she would have been the luckiest girl in the world for that reason. If they were made for each other... Their voices soon meshed together in harmony. 

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

W doesn't exist in the classic Greek alphabet ...on to X (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Xanthus

Rissa just smiled at the girl's thanks. She honestly would have been there to do it regardless. However, what worried her a little more was the fact that the monster had gotten in without anyone knowing why. She blinked and shook her head. "Well, I'll hurry as fast as I can." She told the girl as she started to look at her foot. She didn't want to cause them not to be able to talk to Dr. D. Though she wasn't sure what he was going to be able to do about it. She bit her lip as she thought a little more. 

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the newcomer but she had said her peace about it all. She needed just a little bit of time. However, what MK said to the boy made her laugh. "Right, not dying at all." She mused for a moment before she touched her ankle a little. She had heard the girl make some sounds, which made her think that it might be more than just sprung. She blinked up at the girl for a second before she looked back down at her ankle again. 

It looked like singing to her father had worked well. She had to wonder what he thought about having his children singing to him. She also had to think that the God was a little silly because he wanted his children to do that for a power that they should have had anyways. She wanted to roll her eyes a little but stopped herself when she heard the girl shockingly say wow. Blinking out of her thoughts, she smirked and shook her head. "No problem, but yes, be careful for at least a day, don't be doing too much at all," she told her honestly. 

It was the boy that spoke up next. She glanced over at him and nodded her head. "That's right." she grinned glad that there were still people that hadn't met her, which made things a little more interesting. Since she was gone most of the year minus the summertime. Being able to go to New Rome was excellent, however, she loved it more at camp half blood. She waved her hands with laughter. "Oh, no worries Zoren. I thought it was adorable." She grinned while rubbing the back of her head. She hadn't minded if he only freaked out as he did. However, she could have full-blown cursed him if he had acted a fool and didn't let her fix up McKayla. "She was the perfect patient. Now, I'm going to need someone that will make sure that she doesn't get into any more trouble. Think you can help with that?" She questioned him a little.
 

James had her already wrapped around his finger. If he could see it, he would be able to see right through all that she was. Everything that she was screamed for the man that was standing in front of her. He had everything that she wanted, all that was left to do was claim it. Sounded simple enough. Hell, even the gods now were claiming their children. They had the time. So what was so hard for her to do that now? She had no idea but she was waiting for him to do something. Anything, hell he could scream at her and she would take it. Not that he would ever do that to her. Heck, he was the most gentle person that she knew. Which is why she wanted him, all of him. He had already stolen her heart, but it wasn't like he knew that at the moment. She smirked at him as he told her that she was a better person than Amber was. She would agree. "That isn't hard there mister." She laughed some but said, "Thank you." She was right, it wasn't hard to be a nice person, it didn't even take effort, it was in everyone. "Oh boy." She mused thinking about the girl having laser for eyes. "I would have been dead long ago." she laughed with him for a moment and shook her head. "You'd never allow it to happen though." She told him as she sent him a smile. She knew that he wouldn't, he wanted her close, she could tell just by the way he acted. 

"Aren't I always right?" She asked as she titled her head looking as innocent as she could. "You know, I hope you find her healthy and happy." she grinned and shrugged. "I'd love to meet her, though, she'll probably think you ran off with me." She teased trying to lighten the mood a little bit. However, his next comment made her blink a little. Not in a bad way though. Rissa's eyes soften and she couldn't help but want to tear up a little. "Stop it you're going to make me cry and I'm an ugly crier." She wiped her eyes a little and laughed some. "Well, you have always been my lifesaver, so of course, I'm glad I'm something to you." She gave him a soft smile and pulled her hair to one side of her head. 

She had been super excited to get back to her old cabin. The Apollo kids were one of a kind to her and she adored her siblings to no end, so she was pretty sure that they would be shocked to see her this summer. She had planned so many fun things and had written so many songs that she wanted to play for them. "Good." she listened to him laugh about it, but only if he knew that it was going to mean something different for her. She honestly hoped that it meant something different for him as well but only time would tell. If she had to, she would tell him at the end of summer how she really felt, because she needed to get it off her chest. She didn't know how much more she was going to be able to take. But just being with him made her happy. "I bet, it was a great musical. We had to study it." She laughed and hummed a little of the tune. 

It was the shocked look on his face that made her smile. She honestly couldn't help but make her move. She adored the man and being able to kiss him and do whatever she wanted to with him. Within reason of course. She just loved it all. It was a simple kiss, nothing more than that but it felt like more. It felt like there was so much more to it. She had wanted to put her real feelings in there. However, it wasn't the time to do that. "I will be shocked if I ever hear a complaint about a kiss." She said teasingly and it ended in a laugh as he said what he said. "Of course, whatever you please." She told him with a wink as she began to pull him down to the cabins. 

It didn't shock anyone to see her and James like this, holding hands. It had gotten out long ago with what they did. Honestly, it bugged her at first, but now...she was just happy to be around and with him when she could. She walked to the side with the odd numbers and soon found her lucky number seven and looked back at James. "You think they will scream seeing me?" She asked curiously. She came back every summer but her siblings still very much cared for her. "Let's see." She pulled James along inside of the cabin with her and just stood there. One by one, they all started looking at her and she couldn't help but giggled as she heard the gasp from her siblings. "Hey, guys." She gave them a small wave. Millions of questions began to come out of their mouths as soon as she waved. She glanced back at James and smirked. "Okay okay." She giggled some more. "We'll have all nice to talk, however, I was thinking.." She started and drifted off a little. Her bright blue eyes wandered around the cabin a little making the cabin siblings groan for a moment and Rissa again couldn't help but laugh. "Let's sing and make music." She grinned and they all cheered, one of her siblings even brought James a guitar to him. "They know you so well don't they?" She teased her... well.. her James. Though boyfriend would have fit perfectly there. "To the campfire." She grinned as she grabbed her box drum and headed next to the fire that was there. "So you get to start this one off James." She grinned as she put the box drum down and sat on it. 
 

Mateo. 

"Just the right amount of cheeky meu amor." She said smiling brightly. She knew that he wouldn't be that guy to hurt her. He was different. He was always there when she needed him to be. Someone that she needed her days were bad. She glanced at him and smiled softly. Everything about the man was what she wanted in a relationship but it wasn't like that with him. It was different, she liked them where they were, mainly because she didn't want to end what they had if he didn't feel the same as she did. She had seen it happen to too many people. Rissa couldn't help but make a face when he told her that he was glad she was fine. He was laughing, almost like he knew it bugged her. However, he made a comment about not having luck on his side and she scoffed at him playfully. "Right, I've seen you and you're luck." She mused with a laugh. "Well if it made you feel any better, she's always mean mugging me." She smirked this time and titled her head to the side. "She still hates me, must be my luck." She honestly didn't care at all. She adored the man that was in front of her and she couldn't help it nor did she care about what others thought. 

She listened to him, she always had. He would be one of the only people that she would ever listen to. He meant so much to her. So much so that she didn't want to think about how much it could hurt her in the long run. So she wouldn't think that. She frowned a little and nodded her head in understanding. "Well, maybe. There's no telling what she really feels. Honestly, she could be thinking that you are looking for her too. Which isn't necessarily a lie. Besides, if I know you the way I should know you. You'll send the rest of your days making it up to her right?" She grinned a little at him. He was a perfect person to her, so she could only imagine what his sister thought of him, or would think of him. She had absolute faith in him. 

She had a cheeky smile on her face. She had loved music since she could remember. Growing up with both her moms being in the same band. It was no wonder that she was the daughter of Apollo. Her life was wrapped in music. She bounced a little as he could recall the song that she was humming. "Yes, that's the one." She grinned brightly, however, that grin turned into a small blush. Now, normally that wouldn't be a big deal. He had kissed her plenty of times before, but for some reason, this one felt a little different. She couldn't help but smile shyly at him. He was just too sweet and she could honestly eat him up. "Yes." She said as they went along with their walking. "You can remember the words right?" She looked back at him this time she couldn't help but look at his lips. They were just so inviting. She bit her lip for a moment before she turned around in his arm, stopping them for just a moment. She was about to say something else to him when she just kissed him. She couldn't help herself, honestly, she had been wanting to do it since jumped on him, but she was trying to be a good girl but to hell with being good. She was being who she really was, and at that moment, she really wanted to kiss the man that was there with her. When she pulled back she gave him another cheeky grin. "Sorry, not sorry?" She blinked before stepping back and grabbing his hand again. "Come on, we got a song to sing." She said as she pulled at him a little. 

His grin got bigger and she couldn't help but feel butterflies in her belly when he said 'all to myself. She swallowed hard for a moment before smiling back at him. "Of course, Should I tell the other campers that they need to talk to you before they can speak to me?" She teased with a smirky grin. Their relationship was something that she couldn't really explain. She had always adored James. Honestly, she couldn't help but love the way that their relationship was, no matter how complicated it really was. She adored being around him, with him all the time. It was like the sun shone harder when they were together. Apart from the beautiful mess they had made together, she knew that he would never hurt her. He had never hurt her, unlike Kyle had. She wanted to come out and tell him right there but she knew better. She knew that once she said something she would break down and she didn't want to do that at the moment. She brought up Amber and he had the nerve to ask how she was doing. Rissa couldn't help but cross her arms over her chest and gave him a look. "I wanna say horrible but I guess she's fine." She muttered as she turned her head and looked around the camp again before looking back at him. "That stupid head." She said a little childishly. 

James looked excited about telling her about his new half-siblings but she was shocked when he told her that she was 8. She blinked and shook her head. "What." She started. "That is too young," she muttered as she thought about it. She had come to camp when she was 12 and she knew that James had gotten here just a couple of summers before she did. But 8. She shook her head and sighed at the thought again. "It's always going to be hard. But you can't blame yourself for it forever." She told him as she placed a hand on his cheek. "I'm sure she is fine and one day you'll be able to find her and make things better," she told him as she rubbed his face a little. She always believed that it would happen for him. Hell, she wanted it to happen so he would stop beating himself up for it. "And if you get to go find her, I'll go with you just to make sure that you'll be okay." a grin appeared on her face as she watched him carefully. 

A jam session was just what the doctor ordered. They needed to have that fun time together. Besides, she loved being part of the set with James. He had a special talent. Sometimes, she swore that some of her half-sisters had a crush on him. Which bothered her a little because they didn't know the real him, not like she did. They didn't know him the way she did and that made her smile a little. Because there was only one other person who could say she knew him just a little bit and if she could have punched her she would have. Lucky for her though, she was across the country. He brought her out of her thoughts when he asked her what songs she had been practicing. She turned to him grabbing his other hand in hers, so now she had both of them. "Well," She started with a wide smile. "I'm a music major, what songs haven't I been practicing." she laughed at the thought. "But there is a song that's been running in my head like crazy." She told him as she start humming the tune to rewrite the stars to see if he could think of the song. She adored the song when it came out. "So do you know it?" she asked as she grinned and spun herself into his chest. His arms around her front while her back was to him as they walked. "I'm so glad to be home." She said loving the fact that she had him to herself this time.  

She noticed the shock on his face and she couldn't help but tilt her head a little. Was it really that shocking to him? She had missed this place so much, surely she had told him that right? She brushed it off and smiled when he said that he was the luckiest man in the world. "Hell yeah, you are." She said in a teasing voice. "You get to have me all to yourself now." she mused with a laugh now more excited. Could that even be a thing? She awed at him for a moment. "That would never cross my mind." She hummed out happily. "I know you'll always keep me safe." She knew that he would never drop her no matter what happened in their life. He had proven that to her many many times. "OH." She paused for a moment before she got this smirk on her face, now totally forgotten about her siblings. "I passed you know who when I went to leave. She glared at me so hard." She laughed thinking about it. Honestly, she didn't have to say the name because she knew that James knew who she was talking about. 

Her mouth dropped when he told her that he got a sibling but she was young. "Young like how young?" She questioned him as she knew his story about his younger sister. What happen when he was ten years old. Honestly, it broke her heart and she knew that he couldn't have done anything to help her because they were so young. When he told her that her dad didn't make it, she couldn't help but frown at him. There was nothing that she could say that would make any of this better. "Don't be too hard on yourself." She told as she looked him in the eye. She didn't want him to be too sad at the moment. She was here and that was something to be happy about. 

A moment later, he had her spinning again. She couldn't help but giggle more. She adored this man that was James. When he asked her to do something fun, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him, waiting on him to explain, and soon he did. A jam session. A bigger smile came on her face. "Of course, you know I'm always up for that. I sent my stuff ahead of time so it should be in the cabin." she grinned and jumped down from his arms. "Okay, mister. You gotta show me some fun jams that you learned here." She told him as she grabbed his hand and started walking. "let's go." 

Her emotions were on high drive at the moment. She was feeling everything. Honestly, to be home was the best for her. She hadn't felt as happy as she did now. After everything that happened in New Rome with her ex Kyle. It had gotten so bad that her friends had even given her money to leave. She had even told the hot headed Ares child that she was leaving him. He didn't take it well at all. Calling her names, a cheater and things like that. Honestly, she would rather be called that then have the other abuse. She could deal with it later on her own time. What she didn't tell the others was that she didn't think that she was going to come back to New Rome. After all it was all just a bad time for her. 

Just hearing James laugh made things better. The force in which she jumped on him had knocked him back a couple steps and she couldn't help but giggled a little at him. However, he steadied himself before. A grin appeared on her lips as she hummed out a little. "Well, you might be getting me a little longer than a bit. I'm thinking about moving back for a year." She said happily. Though she knew that she was going to have to explain that to him later on. Right now, she was going to live in the moment and allow each of them to be a peace in each others arms. He spun her around and she couldn't help but yelp a little and hugged him a little tighter laughing a little with him. She gave a small pout about not having any new siblings but she was fine with it for a moment. "Well, I'm sure some will show up later." She  said with a tilt of her head. "What about you?"  she questioned him about the siblings. She wanted to know who all came into the camp while she had been gone. 

Once again she was spun around in his arms, this time he hugged her tighter. A small smile etched itself on her face as she hugged him back. "I miss you." She told him with a sigh. She felt like she was home and she couldn't help but place her face in the crock of his neck. Home. She was finally home. 
 

Rissa couldn't help but watch curiously as to see who it was that was riding on the flying horse. However, it didn't take long to figure out who it was because of the voice that she heard. A smile came to her face as she watched him start to land the Pegasus. "James." She called out as she waved her hand to him. She was excited to see him. What luck she had to see him, or maybe it was the other way around. He was the child of Tyche. So he had gotten lucky to see her first. Maybe she liked it that way too. She watched carefully as he landed the horse and jumped off of it. "Hey, you." She giggled as he opened up his arms and she couldn't help but run and jump into his arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms went around his neck. She just couldn't help herself. It had been so long since she had seen him. There was so much that was going through her mind at the moment. She pulled back a little and brought one of her fingers to touch his nose. "It's good to see you as well." She smirked as she leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Now tell me, how has camp been? Have I gotten any siblings?" She asked curiously as she wiggled herself down to the ground though still having her arms wrapped around his neck. 
 

It didn't take long for another camper to come around to her side. It was Helena if she could remember right. She had met the child of Aphrodite a couple of times in passing. She had never had anything bad to say about the girl. So when she welcomed her back to camp she smiled brightly at her. "Thanks." She said happily though she looked at James, he was still playing that game. What did a girl have to do to get him to dance with her? She turned her attention back to Helena as she started speaking again. "University is great. Although, I'm thinking about taking a little bit of a break. Maybe a year or so." She told the younger girl. However, it wasn't set in stone just yet, she was honestly curious about the whole thing. She had to wonder what her friends would think about it. She needed a break from all the studying she had been doing. It wasn't easy at all for her. She watched Helena grab a drink and of course, she couldn't help but do the same thing. Taking a sip of hers. "So do you need me to help you get the boys off or something?" She asked curiously as she had watched the boys all over her for a moment. She knew that sometimes it could be overwhelming to have that happening.

The nope that she got from the girl was enough to cause her to get moving. She had told her siblings that they should go on and train since they would all be together at the theater later tonight. It was always something with the Apollo kids anyways. She rushed over the couple of steps before she got to the young girl. Honestly, Rissa was always there when someone needed her. She was the best when it came to healing or playing music. Well to her, she was. It was just the gift that her father gave her. She took a seat next to the girl and began looking her over. Some cuts here and there and of course the more scarier looking one on her ankle. "I'll get you healed up in no time." She told the girl but listened to her talk about how there was a monster at the boundary line but she had taken care of it. "Really?" She questioned the girl curious as how would a monster get in here, unless someone called it in here. And if that was the case who had done it? She hummed for a moment when a voice made her jump a little. It was a boy who was running to them. She glanced over to the girl and back at the boy before she placed her hand up in the air. "She doesn't need to be handled right now. I have her." She told him, not so much in a mean way but enough to have the boy at least chill out. "Just take a seat on my drum over there and relax." She told him, she was an older camper so she knew a thing or two. 

She turned back to the girl and smiled. "So McKayla is it," She grinned. "Let's get you better so your boyfriend over here doesn't blow a fuse." She teased them both not really knowing their relationship at all. She had a big smile on her face as she touched her ankle softly. Alright dad. She thought to herself. This ones for you. She hummed for a moment before she began to sing in ancient Greek.  "Chark, esý pou i epikráteiá sou eínai o vathýdasos Elikónas, vronterés kóres tou Día me ta ómorfa chéria: eláte me tragoúdia na giortásete ton aderfó sas Foívo me ta chrysá malliá, pou páno apó tis dídymes koryfés aftoú tou vounoú, tou Parnassoú, synodevómenos apó tous makrinoús fimisménes Delfikés kopéles, érchetai sta ryákia tis réousas Kastalianís pigís kathós episképtetai to oreinó manteío tou." Her hands began to glow a soft warm light. Her eyes stayed on the wounds and she looked up just briefly at the young girl before looking back down and continued. "Idoú, i Attikí me ti megáli tis póli (Athína) proséfchetai, kátoikoi stin akatáktiti gi tis énoplis Tritonikís theás (Athinás). kai stous ieroús vomoús o Ífaistos (diladí i fotiá) katanalónei tous miroús ton móschon távrou: kai mazí me ton kapnó anevaínei stous ouranoús aravikó thymíama. Kai o tsirichtós, kravgaléos avlós yfaínei mia melodía me nótes pou kymatízoun, kai i chrysafénia, glykiá foní kithára smígei me to tragoúdi tou epaínou." Once she ended the hymn she closed her eyes before saying a silently thank you to her father before letting the girl go. She opened her eyes and smiled brightly. 

Rissa was hanging around the big house with some of her siblings. She was sitting on her cajón, beating a some notes into it while she waited for James to get out of the big house. It was sweet the way that he cared about the new campers that were going to be coming in the camp that had no idea what they would be getting themselves into. Not to say that the camp was bad no, it had been the best home that she had ever had. She sighed at her siblings as they started singing. "Baby you're like lighting in a bottle..." she sang with them as she beat more into her drum. Her younger brother strumming away on his guitar and the others singing. Of course this is where she loved to be. "I can't let you go now that I got it." She closed her eyes as she heard some talking coming up the hill.  She grinned more at her siblings as she noticed someone limping. She stood up and her siblings eyes went where she was looking. The music stopped all together. "Are you okay?" She questioned curious to the girl
