Once Summer and Bailey had dropped off Tal in the infirmary, Summer had sat down outside of it. She felt horrible. Worse than that actually. She was miserable. Tears were rolling down her face as she looked out. Campers passed by and cast some awkward glances at her, and when they would come up to ask her why she was crying, she would tune them out and turn away. Only when her brother walked up did she say anything. "It actually happened Mitch." She looked up to him but he had sat down next to her.

His arm went over her shoulder. She didn't know how Tal was doing, and she felt bad but what could she do? She couldn't heal. She could just injure. She put her hands in her head and cried silently. Her shoulders jumping with each sob the only movement she made. After a couple minutes of uneasiness Mitch walked away with a grimace knowing there was nothing he could do for his sister.

Around ten minutes later one of her siblings walked out. "Well. She lost a lot of blood. But she's stable now. What happened Summer? You aren't known for your violence." Summer wiped her eyes with her hands and looked to Aria. "You wouldn't believe you if I told you. Besides. It will probably spread like fire anyways. Or not." She stood up on shaky legs and looked down at her sister. "So is she awake then?" Aria stood up again and looked to her. "When I walked out she wasn't. But she could be now."

Summer nodded and started to walk back inside. "Oh and Summer. Be careful with what you say to her. Tal was already sort of moody and this might make it worse." She nodded her head slowly and continued her walk inside. How would she speak to Tal? She hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. She cautiously approached the bed. Even though she couldn’t heal, she wished and prayed every day for the kids that were in here to get better. But of course, her dad couldn't interfere all too much in the lives of kids. No, they had to go on a stupid quest.

The stupid quest would take away the cabin and infirmary leader. Poor Osaac didn't even really want to go on this quest. She frowned and pulled up a chair next to Tal's bed. As she sat, she eyed the bandages. She was about to ask Aria to come over and put on new ones or something when Tal started to stir. She waited until her head looked up from the blood soaked bandages before speaking. "I can't believe this actually happened. I hadn't meant to hurt you." Her eyes filled with tears that started brimming over the sides when she looked Tal in the face.

[Talia Winchell]

To say that Tal Winchell was extremely confused would be an understatement. She had been drifting in and out of consciousness and semi-lucid dreams for a considerable amount of time, but she was awake enough to be slightly aware of her surroundings. The hands that had been holding her had been replaced by a soft textile. She wasn't exactly sure where she was, but she felt slightly peaceful. Her mind was reminding her gently that the worst was definitely over and things would be going up from here. Tal didn't know how she knew this, but she was completely sure that she was right. She wasn't scrounging for any explanations, though.

Soon enough, the lucidity had faded away and dull reality was beginning to set in — but the dull part faded away when Tal caught a glimpse of her stomach. She couldn't quite comprehend it...where had all the blood come from? She didn't know what to do. Her body was throbbing and the pain was traveling through her body in waves, making it hard to think clearly. She understood that Summer Frost had done it all, but how she knew this she wasn't sure. Whenever she began to delve into a semi-sophisticated thought, another fresh burst of horror shuddered from her stomach outward, and she couldn't complete her thought.

The pain blurred the child of Hermes's vision and clouded her thoughts. She was about to drift off again when she was jolted back to reality by a soft and remorseful voice; one that she could recognize. It was Summer. Eyes widening, Tal half-listened as she apologized.

"I can't believe this actually happened. I hadn't meant to hurt you."

The words confused her. She hadn't meant to hurt her? "Uh," Tal stuttered; her voice wouldn't have been recognizable as her own. The syllable came out dry and raspy, as though it took a great deal of effort to spit out. She stared up at the dark-haired girl hovering above her; what had she meant to do if not hurt her? "What w-were you...W-What were you doing...?" Having the words come out of her mouth tired her out and made a fresh wave of pain appear instantaneously. They were quiet and slightly unintelligible, but could be deciphered if one were closely listening.


ooc; this is really bad..sorry. xD

When Summer heard a soft voice, she looked up to Tal's face. She just barely managed to decipher the words and she hung her head, not being able to really look at the girl. She didn't really know what exactly to say. It wasn't something easily put into words. And she had to bet that she would have to tell Tal her secret. Though, hopefully the girl would keep it a secret. "Well, whenever I am feeling some strong emotion I practice archery. It helps take the emotion away."

She paused. Could she risk telling Tal? Could she really? She chewed her lower lip. Why would Tal even keep her secret? Truthfully, she wouldn't bet that she wouldn't. But who knew, maybe Tal forgave people easily. Though. Summer looked up at her stomach and had to stop herself from cringing. She had to bet that she wouldn't be getting forgiven soon. She sighed and dropped her head again. "I wish I could help heal you. It would only feel right to do that." Another sigh again trying to figure out how to put this into words.

If you would've told her a couple days ago that she would accidently shoot someone she would've laughed at you. Now she couldn't manage any emotions apart from sadness and regret. "But of course the only power I have is perfect aim." Her head snapped up then and in a rush she quickly explained, hoping Tal could follow along. "Not that I was aiming for you though. My arrow hits the true mark. This is the first thing that pops into my mind. I thought I cleared you off it but I didn't I guess."

She paused. Well that sounds confusing. "See my power makes whatever I am thinking of my aim. So I could be facing the total opposite direction, but it could hit something behind me, or on the complete opposite side of the world. It's very bad. Which is usually why I clear my mind before shooting. I thought I did. But well..."

[/b] She stopped. She didn't need to say the rest. Tal was a smart girl and she knew she could figure it out. She looked down at her hands unsure of what to say next. "Only Mitch and you know now. I haven't told anyone else."
