Killian O'Connor

There were a lot of girls at camp that were just annoying but Willow was different. She was sweet but also very kind. The way she held herself was timid but also could shine so brightly when she did what she loved with music. Maybe that was what caught his attention in the first place. Her quiet nature calmed his soul. His head had been such a loud place so the person who seemed to slow him down and quiet the demons he so often fought. He was watching the way she spoke and it made him grin more. He wasn't trying to put on his charm but with her it was just easy to let his guard down.

Asking to hear her song, he could feel himself holding his breathe....would he be able to stay or would she ask him to go? But with the words she slowly got out, it seemed he would be able to hear one of the songs after all. "Ohh that is great" he said excitedly. Sitting back as to not over crowd her as she began to play. Listening to the song he wondered if she played this song to tell him something. Trying to read into it he began to worry the girl might not like his presence. This had never been the case unless things went south with a woman but he thought it was all good with them.

Seeing how much of a good time Samantha was having, it made Killian act bolder with his dancing. He never knew his mum but he hoped she would be a lass like him! One full of a good time dancing and singing. To entertain others as they all shared a great experience! Pulling Sam around the dance floor with him. Killian was laughing more and more as she seemed to go along joyfully. After the dip he could have sworn he saw the lass blush a bit as the irish man pulled her back up as they joined the line people danced through. Clapping her looked over to her with a wink as the song came to an end. "Ohhhhhh how was that Samantha? Did you have a good time Lass?" He was a bit out of breathe from the dance but it was a jolly good time. 

Seeing the room go back to its normal chit chatter he nodded to Samantha to follow him. Going over to the punch bowl he got himself a drink and then her one. Reaching in his pocket he pulled out a flask where he unscrewed it to pour a little in his. "Yours is safe" he smiled as he saw Evelyn on the side giving Sam a death stare. Shaking his head he knew this camp knew no bounds for the amount of drama that happened! Taking his swig of his drink he could feel this party was one of the best this year. Looking to his side he wondered if the lass would stay or no. "You are quite a good dancer lass. You were light on your feet" he commented a he sipped more. Normally he would maybe try and go after Samantha but tonight it was just friendliness as another lass was on his mind.

Rumor has it Samantha went to a party and had a good time

Killian may looked tough on the outside but deep down he cared a lot about those around him. As they were all he had in his life, with daddy being who he was and his mum died. It was the campers who had filled the whole he was trying to fill when he arrived. "Well then you will not be wasting it as long as you laugh and have a jolly good time lass" he said to her. "Life isn't all serious and you will fill weighed down if you don't share it with those you care about." Most would be shocked to hear this talk out of Killian as he had never showed much care except for those who he partied with and his siblings. But soon enough he wanted to show her what she was missing out. Samantha could see he was up to something as she began to ask when he started the music up!

Laughing he knew this would be good for the rule following, fun sucking and strict daughter of Athena. At first she screamed as he began to twirl her around but then she soon was laughing as they danced around the room. He twirled her in front of him as to hold hands so they could side scuffle to the other side of the room under the bridge of hands lifted above. "Come on now" he said as he tilted his head down at the other end of the room. Killian himself was laughing which was needed. After the year he had, it was the right decision to come back home! Once they got through he twirled her into a dip before pulling her back up. Pulling her along to the next part which was joining the bridge of people. 

"WELL THEN, take a look around..." he held his arms out as he spun in a circle " it can be a lot of fun ya know" his irish accent thick as can be as the smirk that was on his face, would never leave. Killian lived for nights like these as well it was partly from his father and partly for his love for fun! There was people dancing and laughing. Some were even playing live music which just made it so much more lively!!! He only hoped that maybe Samantha would come around to it all in the end. If Killian had any job in this world, it was to help those at parties to enjoy themselves. "That is the spirit Lass " he called out patting her on the shoulder "Relax a bit and laugh a little. Life is way to short for you to waste it not having a good time from time to time." 

Killian was happy Samantha had joined them tonight because in the end they were all Demi-gods who had tragic and tough lives. He didn't know what he would do if he didn't have his family here.....be darn depressed for sure! But tonight was not about depression but a jolly good time. Seeing her take the shot he began to laugh. "Arlight Lass, Let's have a good time tonight. One full of singing and dancing." He whistled loudly as he gave the nod to the band and they began to play a drinking song from his homeland. As the band began to play the beginning he began to jump up and down as he went over to Samantha and linked arms with her. Beginning to go round in round singing to the song! 

If it was one person that he did not think would come to this party it was her. But here she was in the flesh...right in front of him. He would do nothing but be welcoming as he could since she was brave enough to come to the party. "Oh come on now Samantha...we all know you don't think the best of me so let's not play these games that the politicians do" he gave her a wink as he knew what her father did. "I am shocked you are here lass....but I am glad to see you out and socializing." Looking around the party was going on full blast like most of his parties did. "The Holidays have been well, are you here for your siblings as well?" He asked her knowing that she was not a year around camper. So if she came back then it was her being away from her family back home.

Once he asked her if she was was judging people, he raised an eyebrow with her scoff. Laughing she shook his head...."Samantha we all know you do, but we still love ya anyways" he said in his irish accent. But then she took the shot which shocked Killian "That's the spirit" he said to her as he laughed. Then turning to the room he raised a glass "TO A HAPPY HOLIDAYS." 

Hearing the words out her mouth that he made sure she didn't get hurt, the sense of pride swelled in him. "Of course my lady, you won't get hurt on my watch!" He said this as he watched the blush on her cheeks grow. Most of the time he would never even look at a girl to notice this sort of thing but with Willow. He found himself pay more and more attention to her. Did it start the night when she sang at the party?

I mean that was when he realized how much older she had become. She was only 2 years younger than him but he had always seemed to look past her until something in him changed. What changed he couldn't tell ya but he felt different since that night. "Ohhhh well, don't let me stop you then. I mean, I would not mind hearing some of your music" he said hoping she would sing for him. Even if it was just a line or two of what she might be working on. He would feel happy to just get to talk to her a bit longer. Seeing that her hands were running over the strings of her guitar he smiled a bit.

Waiting to see what would happen between Shadow and Azrael. He knew there was bad blood there, but he knew that Lilythe was there which might make both parties behave. Facing Shadow, he began to answer the question he was asked "Quite good Mate, just got back from new rome where I was learning more about making my own brew to start my business of sort." He said as he studied the man he was talking to. "What has the great Shadow been up to lately?" He found himself curiously asking as the man disappeared after the breakup. 

Killian's heart began to race as he saw the nod from Willow as she crossed the room towards him. He would have Lilythe on one side and Willow on the other. As they all took a shot to Lilythe's birthday. He watched as Willow began to speak to him. "I, I do know that" he said with a smirk. "And you do know I drink a lot so I can make up for what you don't want if you like" he said in a joking manner.  Giving her a wink he looked to Azrael "Ummmm another green drink my friend, what would you want willow?" 

Feeling a bit happier that he found something for her, Killian did not feel the cold that New York had at that time of the year.  He began to walk down the street when he heard a voice that made his heart skip a beat. Walking fast and fast towards the sound he stopped right before he got to her. She was singing for money. The smile on his face was one that grew the more she sang. He did not know what it was about this child of apollo that seemed to capture his attention in a way that she would never leave his mind. 

He of course tried fighting it, Killian had never gotten close to anyone before for a good reason. He made a promise to himself all those years ago that he would never have anything serious or any really close friends. As it brought up too much pain from his childhood when the orphanage he was in, caught fire due to him fighting off a monster dressed as a Nun. He was close to most those kids and some perished that night. This was his demons that he carried around year after year. Worried he would cause something else to happen.

When her song finished he found himself clapping and then put his fingers to his lips to whistle. "Bravo, encore my Lady" he said with the biggest smile. Walking closer to her, he reached into his pocket and found a few dollars which he put in her case. "Well done Willow, that was Charming."

The last few years had been kind of lonely around this time of year but Killian had decided to come back this year to camp half-blood. He of course had been lucky that his friends also all came back making it one full of laughter and fun. So it was a time for him to do what he did best which was throw a party, which seemed like a ton showed up too. He was smirking as some of the girls he had been with before looked at him hungrily but all he had in his mind was Willow.  He looked for her but no where did he find her so far. But as his eyes wondered they fell on Samantha Adams. The smirk on his face was one of disbelief that she would even be seen at this type of party as well as dress in the dress she was in. 

"Well Well Well, look who show up to the party" Killian put his hands on his hips and laughed. His Irish accents thick as his red hair! "Are you judging the others here Sam?" he asked her knowing very well she probably was! The girl was one high in her morals but she could let lose once in a while. Seeing someone walk by with shots on a tray, he grabbed two off of it. Holding it out to her "Heyyy let lose Samantha, take this and I promise you will enjoy yourself more." 

Killian had of course thrown a party in the Big House for the Holidays as it was one of his favorite times. Making sure there was enough to drink he welcomed people as they joined as he always did. A party was like his way of life so as he began to take shots and laugh with his friends. He found his way to the piano where he began to play some Holiday songs trying to get people to sing along. Some of the campers had come back to camp for this party while the others who were year around came to just enjoy a good time.

Killian had smiled as he sang along, occasionally taking a drink here and there to keep him spirits up. He hoped no one would try and stop this good time as the year had been sort of a rough one and it was time to not think about any of it as he entertained. Finishing a song he got up and called to everyone "To a happy Christmas" he called to them all as he raised a shot someone handed him. 

@ Samantha Adams

Killian was enjoying the time he had been spending back at camp. He first came back to just see who all might be back at camp, hoping to see some old buddies. When he started to notice Willow more than he ever had done. The girl had stolen him with the sound of her voice or maybe it was the gentle was she spoke to him. Either way he couldn't get the lass off his mind. Every chance he had to see her, he had taken it which was not like him. 

So this holiday season he had been trying to come up with a gift for Willow....it had to be something with music but what? Well to get the ideas flowing in his mind. Killian had taken a taxi cab out to New York City to walk through the streets to see if anything had spoken to him for her. Finding himself starting in Time Square. He took one side street and began to go through some of the shops feeling lost from one thing to another. That was when he saw this music store off another side street. Seeing it he ran over to it and walked in. The place was nice and cheery for the holidays. Seeing this thing on the wall, it was the beautiful wood shelf that would hold the guitar and some pics. Rushing over to it he got it and took it to the front to pay. As the owner wrapped it up for him. He put his arm through the bag and walked out of the shop. 

@ Willow Iris Hazelwood

Killian was a man who was alway ready for a fight, maybe it was his pent up anger from just the unfair life he had been given. I mean he could take it out on monsters which he did from time to time but I mean when the opportunity came he put himself up for the fight. Looking to Azrael he watched his friend say he had no trouble from his side of things "Welll the trouble doesn't have to come from you" he said raising an eyebrow with a nod. But soon enough Shadow was right beside him "Oh isn't it the infamous Shadow back at camp. How ya been lad?" He was truly curious as the man had been away and then just shows up. I mean not to say he might have wanted to just come back but he did burn a lot of bridges once the whole break up thing happened. 

But he then watched as the birthday girl joined them "Ohhhh that is good and it is just beginning my friend. We will party the night away if I have any say in it at all" he laughed with a look of excitement. Seeing they were all going to take shots the look on the man's face was one of in his element. Taking the shot that Azrael gave him he waited for the toast. "TOOOO LILYTHE" he said before smacking the bar then downing the shot. But just then he heard a voice he hadn't in a while. "Ohhh my stars is that my older sister Vi?????"  he said turning with the biggest grin.

Killian and Willow

Killian was feeling pretty good with the greet he got coming back home after the last two years. Seeing Elijah, Willow and meeting little Octavia was a treat. It showed him why he loved this place so much! "Well maybe we will find out more later" he said to Willow with a smile. The game was one he always enjoyed as he was able to put his strength to the test against his friends in a bit of friendly competition. Turning back to Octavia who was heading out he saluted her "Off you go little lass.....I hope to see you more and more" he said chuckling as he waved bye to her.

Picking his bag up he smiled at Willow and Eli "Guess I need to check in my cabin and see you two later" he said with excitement. Taking one look back at Willow he winked as he then headed out the door off to his cabin to see what his siblings were up to! 

[[last post to willow and eli]]

Killian was all for a party, especially one with his adult beverages he so preferred thanks to daddy! Smiling as he saw Lilythe's reaction. A part of him blushed as he knew it was a small thing he did while he was out in his homeland. "Of course, only the best for you Lilythe!" he said as he watched her take the bottle. Looking back over his shoulder he looked towards Azrael. He was happy to have so many of his good friends all in one place at this time. Killian began to laugh as he made his way towards Azrael. "I mean how do you know if you don't try?" he joked back at him. As he looked around for a stool. Pulling one up he smiled at the drink in front of him that matched his outfit well. "Oh how kind but even if I was a leprechaun I bet James is still more lucky than me." Seeing the devil walk through the door just then with Rissa. The two were followed by Shadow. "Ohhh this should be interesting" he said picking up his glass and draining it in one go. 

Looking at Azrael he looked at him "You good mate?" he then leaned in " I got your back if you need in" he looked as Shadow approached Lilythe. Well well well some things never change he thought to himself when the door opened again, but this time it was to his surprise to see Willow walk through the door. She made her way over to lilythe before going to the wall. Turning back to Azzy he sort of had this face of panic. How would be go up and talk to her? He had never found it so hard to talk to a girl in his life. "Another drink my good Az" he said before turning back towards Willow. "Willow come join us over here" he waved her over with his charming smile. 

Killian had not expected to see Willow so part of him was kind of unsure what to say to her but then part of him knew he would not pass up an opportunity like this as it might not happen. Each of the half-bloods made their own way in the world, as they tried to figure where they should go and do. Killian had just come back for a bit at first but something inside him told him to stay. He wanted to see where things went.

Seeing Willow nod to his request, he smiled as he sat next to her on the cabin porch. He looked at the instrument that was in her hands as it was one he had seen her carry around quite often. The night he saw her play and sing at the party was one that he thought of quite often. As her voice was one that soothed his soul! After that he took an interest in her, which when they play capture the flag came out as him being protective. Especially when she hide behind him and asked him to protect her. It was as if a part of him wanted to show he was a big baddie that could save her from anything.

A laugh escaped his mouth when she asked about his injury. "Oh it almost perfect" he smiled as he moved his limb showing that he had full range of it. "It was worth the injury to protect you" he said without thinking and then blushing a bit. "What I meant was" he nervous tried to fix what he was saying "You are welcome my lady. I hope you are doing well yourself after that battle with the myrmekers." 

Killian was trying to play it cool but James being the man he is of course looked a bit shocked. Laughing a bit nervously he swept his hands through his hair as he then shook his head laughing. He could not explain it as it shocked him too. But just as he turned in the direction of the nod of James. It was Willow would show up to his side. He opened his mouth to say words but seemed to fail as James told her he was looking for her. "Oh ey I was but now I have found you and ummmmmm you look great" he said in his Irish accent. "Sooooo do you go to things like this very often?" he asked her as deep down he was kicking himself for saying such a dumb thing as if he was 13 or something. 

He just wanted to sit with the lass on a nice night but with him acting the way he was. She would probably rather site with anyone else in the camp than him. "I didn't know if maybe we could all sit together as a group. It would be nice to all be together?" This was his last ditch attempt to see if Willow would maybe stick around him for him to maybe get to know her a wee bit better. 

Killian was pretty pumped for another party to go to as it was Lilythe's birthday! Dressing up in a very large leprechaun outfit. He hoped to get a bit lucky tonight and maybe get to see Willow if she showed up to the party. Maybe she would sing again. His thoughts were sort of all over the place as he had never felt this way about any other girl in his life. His arms full of a few bottles, he walked to the big house for the party.  Opening the door he looked around with his smirk as the place was decorated quite well but then his eyes landed on the birthday girl. "Lilythe....Happy Birthday" he said going to her with a bottle in each hand. Holding one out for her "This is for you, it is a special brand of whiskey only found in Ireland" a smirk on his face as he looked over to Azrael who was at the bar. "Don't get started without me my friend!" 

Killian had a great summer with coming back to camp after being away at New Rome for several years. What he hadn't expected was for him to feel different about people in his life. Life had always been a game for him. One that always ended in with him and a bottle as he drank the night away. But this year was the most sober he had found himself as he was trying to get to know a girl he had known for such a long time but never had an impact on him as she did now. First it started with him watching her sing, there was just something about her that caught his attention but when he got hurt in CTF that was when he knew he had caught feelings for the girl. A first for him ever.

So making his way down to the beach he talked to a few of his younger siblings that were planning a party to end the summer after the fireworks had ended. Seeing James and Risse, Killian waved to them as he walked over to them. "Hey you two, ummmm Rissa is the rest of your cabin coming to the display before they go home?" 

Having so many be around him when he first arrived, really made Killian feel a bit warm inside. He knew that none of them had planned this but to him it was still kind of a nice coincidence. "Elijah, good to see you too" he laughed smiling at the younger boy. He greeted his sister which made Killian want to go to his own cabin and find his siblings as well. His little sister Aislynn should been there which he couldn't wait to give her a big hug! But his eyes went back to the wee big one in front of him, seeing how happy she was to be called big it made him laugh. "Well then, I will remember that!" He said with a smirk. 

They all began to talk about their parents which Killian also had adoptive parents which were very kind. He would go home to see them from time to time. But most never really knew about them. It was private matter to have them in his life as they were someone he kept very close unlike most others. "Ohhh but soon you will be a big sister you will see and you wont be the wee little one anymore. But let me tell you this octavia, just get super strong and show them that size doesn't matter!" He could see the likeness in her from James. It was a kindness that most did not have. Then looking back at Willow with a smile "So have you heard of anything going on in the camp tonight or when the next capture the flag will be?" 

@ Octavia Davis

Killian meant every word he said when he said to Willow when he said they would all protect her. That was one thing that was instilled in him as a young lad when he watched all his friends die.  From that day on he promised himself two things. One was that he would do everything in his power to protect everyone around him but two he would never allow anyone to become that close to him ever again. Sure everyone knew of Killian as the man of the party but did they really know him or his past? He found this the best way to protect himself but it also made things very lonely at times. 

See the team around his assemble together, they had quite a spread of demi-gods. From the Apollo to the Hephaestus Campers it seemed like they had a pretty good chance of not getting hurt. "I guess you could say that" Killian shook his head and laughed at Stefan's joke about opposites attract. This made him glance over at Willow with a smile before turning back. As he made his run towards the beasties, he found that not all half-bloods like to stand and fight together. As Stefan and Elijah both tried to lead some away. This in his eye made them open for more of an attack because if any were to get hurt, then those two would be on their own. "Call for help if you need it" Killian called as he stabbed the first Myrmekes, it was not the happiest beastie as Killian was making sure of it!

That was when it happened, the myrmekes behind the one he had been stabbing was not happy as it had 2 of willows arrows in it. The whole thing happened so fast as the one he was one threw him off and before he could get up the dang thing shot poison at him. "Ahhhhhhhh you will pay for that" he yelled as he rolled to get up. The pain beginning to seep in as he jump to stable the one he hand been on turning it to dust. All that was left was the one willow had been shooting. 

Killian not really thinking he was going to have a fun time found himself having a much better time. Maybe it was the fact that the besties had been drawn to him it seems as he fought off several throughout the whole thing. Well there was that and the fact that Willow had come to him for safety. The look she had when she griped his arm still shocked him to this day which was days since the game was over! Something about her had stumped him as she was different than most the girls he had come across. Normally he would never give another girl a second thought as he promised himself years ago that he would never get that close to anyone. It allowed for the chances of getting hurt less. 

But today was a day where he had woken up a bit later than normal as he made his way way through camp when he saw her. Willow was sitting on the porch with her guitar strumming. He was about to walk on, but something deep down told him he should go talk to her. Turning from the direction he was going he walked towards her stopping in front of her with a smile on his face. "Good morning Willow, do you mind me joining you this morning?" Part of him hoped she would say yes just so he could see how she was since that myrmekes attack.
