And I remember when I met her... [Sara]

[Nathan Lockwood]

They say you’ll never forget your first love,
and I know I never will.

Late afternoon and the sun would begin to change the ocean within the next two hours or so, or the ocean would change the sun. There would be tangerine and gold. Nathan was passing the beach on his way to the Amphitheater. His dark curls, tussled from the wind and his glasses reflected the setting sun. It was always a long day now a days. Nathan was constantly in the infirmary now, helping to heal the wounded it gave him something to do and didn't think to much of it when he signed up but now that he was helping Chiron almost every afternoon...Nathan only had so much energy in him. He didn't even know how bone tired he was until this evening. It was difficult not to close his eyes as he walked. He probably could if he wanted to, but his foresight was being a jerk to him lately. It would tell him what the volleyball score was for his cabin but wouldn't tell him that his sister was back after six years.

Nathan reached the Amphitheater as the sun was setting over half blood hill. Moving along the rows and rows of seats to accommodate the maximum capacity of camp half blood, he reached one in the middle to try and blend in with the empty space beside him. Down on the stage were some campers, he would have assumed his brothers and sisters but most of them were gone. It was only himself and Summer left. He had Mia but she stayed in the Artemis cabin... and no boys allowed. Plus he wouldn't want to leave Summer.The Apollo cabin hadn't had a musical practice in a long time, he noticed. Which of course he didn't mind, given that his musical abilities were on hold right now. Nathan knew he was going to have to face the music at some point...tell Summer that he couldn't play. Given that he had already told Mia and Summer was the only one left. Taking a seat near the middle he curled up and stared blankly at the stage, watching as the campers fiddled around on the stage, one held a guitar playing music while the others danced around and laughed with each other. Was that the power music had?? He had forgotten. Maybe he could go back to the cabin he had his guitar under his bed, accumulating cobwebs. NO! he pulled his knees closer to his chest as he continued to watch the musical spectacle.

The wind started to pick up and a leaf blew into his lap. He brushed it off. It reminded him of his time in the forest with Sara. It was a brief meeting before he went back to the infirmary to get his head checked out. She had startled him and he had fallen right out of the tree. It had been like nothing he ever experienced before. His foresight had shown her coming which means she must be important. He knew though, even without the foresight that she was special. She was charismatic, magnetic, electric...and everybody knew it. And in that way he...understood her. Even when he didn't really even know her at all. It was weird feeling all of these emotions when he barely knew Sara. Then again he didn't really have these feelings about anyone. He thought he liked Anabelle, who had been a daughter of Demeter but that had fizzled out quickly. Nathan didn't even know what love was. Maybe he loved Sara?...he didn't know.

Notes: Here you go my love!! Hope it is exceptional <3

[Sara Winters]

Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way?
And I don't understand what's happened.
Every time you're near me,
Suddenly my heart begins to race

Today had been full of laughter for the daughter of Poseidon. Sara had really enjoyed a day off from all the stress of camp. She and her sister had awoken early in the morning for a great session of surfing, for some reason the waves had been almost perfect. After that, they had gone on a Pegasi flight on their own respective Pegasi. Nacht had been happy to see her again and had called out to Sara with another shrill whinny, which of course prompted her to give the Pegasus an apple and sugar cube. Maybe she did spoil her, but it didn’t matter. The winged horse still behaved perfectly for her.

After all of that, they had parted ways, Sara going to hang out with some of her friends and her twin going to go and take on people at the arena. Sure it was a little weird. Sara was usually so protective over Tara, but since coming to camp she knew her sister would be safe here. Plus, it didn’t take long to get from one area to another area of camp. So they were never really far from each other. After some chats with her friends, catching up on the latest gossip an what-not, Mitch returning to camp and almost dying being the biggest piece for the week, she had wandered over to the arena.

She normally went there at least once a day to sit and watch people fight. If there were ever any cuts, she had some water and ambrosia on her to help heal them and make sure the infirmary didn’t get too hectic. After all, they still were trying to fight whatever strange illness had taken host in some of the campers. With Sara healing bleeding cuts and bruises, that kept some of the not so serious injured people out. Thanks to all this practice, Sara was pretty confident with her healing prowess. But now the sun was setting and Sara found that she didn’t really know what to do. She had heard through the grapevine that a couple people were getting together to listen to some music and dance.

Deciding that, really, that was the only thing left to do for the night, Sara headed over to the Amphitheater where as she neared it, she could hear the twinge of a guitar and a voice that brought a small smile to her face. Cody wasn’t that much of a socialite, but give him an instrument and a song and he could carry you away. He had a way with music that made you just want to get up and dance. She stepped into the little area and was glad to see she was right. Cody was playing. An electric guitar in his hands as a fast beat song started playing. It carried a nice tune, and as Sara saw Abi and a few other girls dancing, she jumped in and started dancing along.

”There's this thing that you do,
You don't know that it does something to me, yeah
I've seen the way that you sway, that you talk,
That you touch, that you kiss, that you breathe
That I need, you look at me, girl
You're shaking things up like you wouldn't believe,
Crashing my comfort zone, setting me free
It's a "who would've thought?", "you'd never dream" kind of thing”

As he broke into the chorus, Sara turned in her spot as she jumped and danced around. Her eyes scanned the place as she continued moving to the beat, and it was then her eyes landed on a dark mop of curls and glasses. Her smile increased slightly as she saw him and she vaguely took in the fact that he looked as if he was almost trying to hide. As Cody continued singing, Sara broke away from the dancing circle and quickly made her way up the steps to Nathan.

When she had talked to him in the forest it had felt a little awkward. She had made him fall out a tree for Hades sake! But either way, he was a really nice guy to talk to, and of course, him being really cute made it all the better. As she sat down next to him with a smile she couldn’t help the fact that her foot tapped along to the beat. ”Well if it isn’t Nathan! Glad there’s no trees to fall from this time round?” She paused only a moment before tilting her head to the side. ”Also, why are you sitting up here instead of being down with everyone else? Do you not dance?”

She took notice to the chorus starting up again but let it slip to the back of her mind as she put her focus on Nathan and wondering what the young son of Apollo had been up to since they last spoke.

Every time I leave,
Suddenly my heart begins to break.

The sun had set now. The gold and orange fading into a darkness that wouldn't be washed away with light until the next morning. Nathan wasn't the night owl he used to be. Nathan was never really a morning person either but ever since he discovered that his father was the god of the sun, he turned into a morning person. In the time he spent at camp half blood, he noticed that the light was fading from half blood hill, it wasn't just Nathan either but the other campers too and it was kind of frightening, like no one was screaming but everyone was certainly on edge and paranoid. A darkness was on it's way, everyone knew it and was preparing. However through these dark times there was a few rays of golden light that crossed the sky in the early hours of the morning. Which meant that Nathan's dad was close by.

He always woke early now just to kind of watch his dad climb onto his golden chariot and soar through the skies. It was always a stress relief for him. But given that he really wasn't up for staying up all night anymore, except on special occasions of course, he found himself silently falling asleep. But it wasn't long before he heard the boy playing the guitar again begin to sing. Nathan squinted his eyes behind his glasses to try and catch a glimpse of the campers.

It looked like Cody was playing the guitar. Classic Cody. The dancers were a mix of brown, red and blonde hair and he really couldn't tell many of them apart but he did manage to spot: Abi, Sarina and Lindsay, there was another who was dancing like there was no tomorrow. Blonde hair. The mystery girl looked right at him and as she made her way towards Nathan, he could see her more clearly. The mystery girl wasn't such a mystery after all, it was Sara.

"Your name, your name sounds so good next to mine, just saying
And I think, I think I'm gonna put it in all my rhymes, baby
'Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite a few things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah"

Nathan's heart skipped a beat. He loved seeing Sara around camp. He gestured to the seat next to him, offering her to sit next to him. She took it. Her smile was bright enough to light up the whole camp. "Hey Sara" he said smiling back. He laughed. The last time the two demigods had met. Nathan had fallen out of a tree. "Yeah that's a good thing. I'm just really uncoordinated." he said smiling. "I guess I was a bit tired. I've been in the infirmary all day, helping Chiron." he said. "Since it's just Summer and I, and her brother just got back. I thought I'd take over for both of us." he said reaching a hand up to rub the back of his neck.

"And I do so dance. I'm the best dancer...can't you tell" he said smiling widely. It was a lie. Nathan had never danced in his life. He never had the time. Giving up music, came with dancing to music it seemed..not that he did much of it before he gave it up. "Between falling out of trees and dancing it's hard being able to do anything else" he said winking at the daughter of Poseidon.

Notes: Your posts are always magnificent

[Sara Winters]

Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way?
And I don't understand what's happened.
Every time you're near me,
Suddenly my heart begins to race

Sara couldn’t help the small smile that took over her face as Nathan made an excuse for him falling out of the tree again. ”No need to make excuses for clumsiness. It happens to everyone at least once. You can’t believe how many times I’ve wiped out when surfing.” Sara tilted her head at that. She had been to the infirmary to help a few times and had noticed that when Summer was there she didn’t really help so much as gather supplies for everyone. Of course Sara being Sara, she asked Summer and the girl had almost looked disappointed when she said she couldn’t help.

”How is Mitch doing? I’ve been there to help a few times when Summer was there. She told me she can’t really help. I assume that means that she can’t heal like normal Apollo kids? Do you know why..or?” Usually when the gods took powers from one of their kids, it meant that they had one incredibly strong gift. Sara would be really interested to know what Summer’s gift was. She noticed that the song Cody had been playing had come to an end. Glancing to the stage, she saw him switching to the drums while some other dude started tuning a guitar. Most likely getting ready for another song.

Sara’s grin escalated when Nathan said he was ‘the best dancer’. She had never seen him dancing and she did know of people ho never danced in public but were actually really good and she wondered if he was one of those people. Of course he threw in a wink at the end of his statement and Sara couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle. ”Certainly you must leave time for all those ladies that are smitten with you!” Her tone was clearly teasing, even though she did want to know if he was involved with anyone. But that was Sara, always trying to find out the most about people. It wasn’t because she liked him. No….not at all? Of course it was as well.

As a fast paced song started up that Sara knew of thanks to a new band that had finally graced camp she jumped up a smile lighting her face once again. ”If you have the moves like Jagger, then let’s see them. This song is the perfect one to dance to!” Just as she said that the song started and she couldn’t help but start tapping her foot to the beat, her head turning slightly to see that a small group of people had started dancing.

” You walked in,
Everyone was asking for your name.
You just smiled and told them "Trouble".
My head spins,
I'm pressed against the wall,
Just watching your every move.
You're way too cool,
And you're coming this way,
Coming this way.”

As the first verse started Sara couldn’t take it anymore and took off down the steps. Just as the chorus hit she started dancing. She did a little head flip and started jumping as she shook her hips. She turned to look at Nathan and stopped jumping only to do the little “come here” motion with her finger.

”How did we end up talking in the first place?
You said you liked my Cobain shirt
Now we're walking back to your place
You're telling me how you love that song
About living on a prayer
I'm pretty sure that we're halfway there
And when I wake up next to you I wonder how
How did we end up here?”

Every time I leave,
Suddenly my heart begins to break.

So it wasn't just him. Clumsiness happened to everyone. Nathan playfully rolled his eyes "Yes, well I'm not just anyone now am I?" he joked, sticking his nose high in the air. Nathan twitched his nose "Surfing?" he pondered. The sport seemed a little dangerous, and something Nathan would be.. not scarred but paranoid to try. "Well surely it doesn't hurt...or does it?" he asked. Sara tilted her head and Nathan mirrored her. "Have you never herd of the infirmary before?" he teased playfully. "It's really not that bad, Chiron is a real funny guy" Nathan said in between chuckles.

"Mitch will be fine...eventually." he said looking at the ground. Nathan couldn't even wrap his mind around how someone would get over something like that. "The bruises and cuts will fade but...the emotions are the tricky part. See Apollo kids can handle the physical pain, the Dionysus kids can handle the Mental pain, craziness and such. As for emotions though...everyone is on their own" he said sighing. He knew that so many campers would be better off if their emotions could turn off, Natasha Pierce was a perfect example. This time it was Nathan who tilted his head in confusion. "Not like other Apollo kids?" he asked "What do you mean?" he added on. "But no....she...she hasn't told me anything." he said, a twinge of sadness to his voice. Summer had never mentioned so much as a secret to him, then again nor did he to her. That's what sibling were for though, to bear the secrets you can't tell your parents.

The song ended but only for a brief moment as another started up. Sara smiled even brighter then he thought possible. Was it the song or the fact that she thought he was a dancer, he couldn't dance and he hoped she knew that. "You mean my mom?? My biggest and sometimes my only...my only fan?" Nathan stuttered over the statement. Talking about his mom was something foreign to him. He hadn't said a word about her, hadn't spoken to her in seven years. He shook his head and smiled "No... I don't really have time for girls." Why did he just say that? She's going to think he is a freak now.

Lyrics now spilled out of Cody down on the stage and Sara freaked the freak out. She took off so fast that Nathan was still standing there, stunned, by the time she got down to the stage. Running down the steps two at a time to try and catch up "Sara! Where are you...? WAIT UP!" he ended up calling down. When Nathan finally reached the stage, Sara was already dancing. Flipping her hair and shaking her hips and jumping, Nathan watched with a bemused smile on his lips. When Sara motioned for him to join her. He waved his hands in surrender and joined her, dancing along with her. "Alright you win" he said over the music.Why do you think i'm dancing? I did it all, I did it all, I did it all for you.
