§ Camp Clearlake § Book 2: Lycanthropy

''Well they would at least ask you out and let me see non of them have''
Chole said

''so ha.''

"So are you," Fawn insisted. The ribbons of water gave a last finale, before shooting back into the stream.

"Well.." Ivy began, "they'd really like me to date someone who will be very successful, and with money. Most of the boys I've dated- or tried to date haven't made it past my front door."

"You're certainly not an average Joe." Fawn said, a little sharply. "You can make some grass appear. Some mages can't do any of that stuff."

"Probably," Ivy said, "they'll probably like the fact that you dressed up, which is always a good thing."

"I was talking about in general, not just magic-wise," Alexander shrugged. "You are just all-around amazing."

"True," said Stain. "So when am I meeting these parents of yours?"

((We can continue with Jake and Blaze about now. ))

((Okay, I call you starting. >=D))

Fawn shrugged as well. "I could say the same about you."

"Er, whenever you want, really." Ivy said uncomfortably.

((DAMN YOU! xD))

Blaze sat up and wrapped the blankets around her body with a sigh. "Erik... you should go."
"Aw, babe..."
"Jake is going to be back soon, I can feel it. Please go."
Erik sighed and got up, tugging his clothes back on. "If he does anything to hurt you, just know that I'm here," he reminded her, pulling his shirt over his head.
"I know," Blaze nodded with a small smile. "Bye."
Erik swooped down and kissed her before she had time to react, and then left the room with a wave. As the door shut behind him, Blaze let out a dry sob. She pulled her clothes back on and then curled up in the mess of blankets to cry.

Alexander smiled, kissing her gently. "Thanks."

"Well, then how about tomorrow? I want some more time just with you first."

Jake opened his eyes, and groaned. His back ached from lying down on the ground, and as he recollected the past events, one word, and one word only popped into his brain: Blaze.
He peered around to where he saw Violet, and felt even more disgusted with himself. "I'm leaving." he said curtly.

"It's true though," Fawn said, "it really is. So, er, now, on with training?"

Ivy smiled, kissing him gently. "I think that's a good idea."

''I'm not bringing you down and anyway you said that you were wasting your time a while ago but you still haven't went'' chole said.

She took her skipping ropes and skipped some more.

"Because," Jake said, in even more disgust, "I was unfaithfull to the one that I love, and there's no worse feeling than that!" He scowled at Violet, and, closely looking at her, he could see that she wasn't as pretty as he'd made her out to be. Charm. That must be her ability.

Fawn nodded. "All right. Teach away!"

"Well," Ivy began, "what do you want to know?"

Jake started into her eyes, and sighed. "O- no. I'm leaving." Snapping his fingers, his swim trunks appeared on him once again, and he teleported back to his house, heading toward his house.

Fawn smiled. "They may not be my specialty, but I know a little bit about sword fighting."

"Well, I've lived here all my life, always asked for a sibling, and have never gotten one... Um, I got okay grades, and was never really athletic. I mean, I'm not lazy, I just never liked the sports that the school provided. I've had in interest in horse back riding... that's about it, really. I could probably go a little more in depth if there was something in particular that you wanted to know..."

Blaze dried her tears on the blanket when she heard the front door open. She quickly snuggled in bed, pretending to be asleep.

Alexander grinned. "Show me what you've got, babe."

Stain smiled. "My past is far from the perfect one you seem to have."
((How old is Ivy again? 18?))

Jake raced through the house as fast as he could. Once he had reached Blaze's door, he began rapping impatiently on it. "Blaze?" He called, "Blaze!"

Fawn smiled slyly. "Toss me a sword, and I'd be more than willing."

Ivy smiled. "Tell me."
((I think so. ))

Jake, not taking the hint, tapped louder. "Blaze!" he shouted. "Blaze, are you in there? Wake up! I'm sorry!"

Fawn caught the sword without much effort, twirling it casually. "Shall we duel?"

"I want to hear it," Ivy said softly, taking his hand.

Jake sighed inwardly. "Blaze, let me in, please!"

With one last smile, Fawn did a front handspring, and ran forward until she was right in front of Alexander. "Hey," she whispered, grinning.

"Okay," I Ivy said, "but I want to hear it. And, I am happy, now that I found you." she said, leaning closer to him.

Jake, feeling utterly stupid, pushed open her door, and barged in. "Babe, I'm so sorry!" he spluttered.

Fawn, grinning, darted up after him, but misjudged her jump, and scrambled up another pillar. Quickly regaining her balance, she lunged for Xander.

"How long have you lived here?"

"About before," Jake said, slightly impatient. "Y'know, at the beach. Oh, I'm so, so sorry! Violet's ability was charm, and....and....." he trailed off, unsure of what to say.

Fawn returned his mark, and flipped toward him. "With pleasure." she said. She leaped toward him with her sword raised.

"Almost? Where were you before?"

Jake inhaled deeply. "Me too. Er, you first."

Fawn grinned, leaning up to kiss him quickly. "I know," she said, giggling.

Ivy smiled, kissing him gently. "When do I get to see Blaze and the others again?"
