Kalonice

Sometimes, beauty and victory do go together...

Kalonice lay under a tree, her eyes half open, a smile spread across her face. Kleitos, the Beach principle, had summoned her to his office to be confronted about another quest. But instead he lay here, staring at the sparkling waves and sifting through the sand with her fingers. Damien would be returning from his quest today, and he was all she could think about. After much consideration, she decided that today was the day she would finally tell him the truth. She had really liked him ever since they became friends, and she prayed to the gods he felt the same way. But until he returned, she would stay here, imagining the expression on his face when she told him.

Damien wore a bright smile and a spring in his step as he wandered towards the camp masters office. He had rehearsed the words in his head over and over, yet he muttered them under his breath once more. Kleitos...on the quest that Poseidon sent me on, I met someone. Her name is Kalyca, and she's the other half of me. The mortal half. Kleitos... I would like to be a mortal, and live in the mortal world. I think I am ready for it and - At that moment, he saw his best friend, Kalonice sprawled under a tree. Damien smiled and waved at her, moving towards her. He could spare a little stop before approached the headmaster Hey, Kalonice! How's it going? He said, smiling at her. His feet itched to walk to the headmasters office, but friends were friends. Besides, she was one of the best friends Damien had ever had.

Kalonice's heart fluttered when she saw Damien approaching her. she sat up and turned to face him. Hey! Great, thanks. How was your quest? You've been gone awhile. Kalonice figured she would warm him up first before breaking the news. Seeing him just made Kalonice want to rush things even more, but she suppressed her beating heart, and instead smiled warmly at him, patting a place in the sand next to her.

Damien smiled at her, his heart tottering at the thought of Kalyca, cltching the glowing beads. Absolutely terrific! I met someone down in the mortal world - you would like her! He said, his smile widening. He wondered how she would react when he told her he had found his soul mate. Because, there was were no other words to describe what Kalyca was to Damien. Except maybe, beautiful, gorgeus, smart, pretty and funny.Her name is Kalyca He said, savoring the feel of her name on his toungue. Her name had a nice ring to it. Kalyca...Kalyca...Kalyca

Oh! Really? Thats great!

[/color] Kalonice smiled again, her urge overcoming her. She took a deep breath and looked Damien in the eyes, her lips curving into a shy smile. A blush painted her cheeks.[/size] Damien, I love you. Kalonice blurted. She winced, going completely red. She glanced at him, hoping it hadn't been too soon.[/color]

Damien had to repeat the words a couple times in his mind before the meaning actually sunk in, and when it did, the words were like poison running through his veins, freezing his blood. Damien, I love you. His mind flickered to times when he had caught Kalonice sneaking extra glances at hi m, and handing him the extra piece of her food that she 'didn't want'. But... Kalonice - I - I love Kalyca He said, immediately regretting the words. That was possibly the worst thing he could have said. But this whole conversation was upside down, and wrong. They shouldn't even be having this conversation. Kalonice was his best friend, and would always be his best friend in her mind. Though, now that his mind dredged up images that Damien had glossed over at the time, came back in vivid clarity. Kalonice sneaking him a piece of cake under the table, and that strange, almost embarrassed smile she sometimes gave him. Damien shook his head slightly, still feeling as if he had anticipated one last step on the staircase, and his foot plunged down onto the rock bottom.

Kalonice's eyes opened wide, glazing over, staring into something that wasn't, but could have been. She thought she heard a shattering sound repeating in her mind. It felt as if someone had just blown a giant hole in her chest, pain seething into every speck of her existence. She doubled over in pain, gasping for breath. In love with Kalyca.... The words repeated in her mind, sending stinging pains down her spine. It was unbearable. She lied down on her back, gasping and shrieking in pain. Everything she had done ever since she had met Damien, every shred of love she had ever felt, it all worked up into this moment. And now it was all ruined by a disgusting mortal How would she live? How would she carry on with a heart of stone? With these questions, the world faded to black, and her raw pain weakened as she drifted away into blackness.

Damien's jaw dropped as Kalonice passed out cold on the ground. Damien swallowed back the bitter taste in his mouth. Kalonice had loved him that much... Damien reversed the position his mind, and he was appalled by what he saw. What if Kalyca (for he could not picture loving Kalonice, when Kalyca was there) had gone out on a quest, and came back and declared her love for another man. Damien shook his head, for the thoughts of Kalyca and the Beach could not coexist peacefully in his mind. Damien bit his lip, whipping his head around. Did anyone know how to cope with an unconscious person? Instead running away, Damien kneeled down next to her. He wondered if he would have been with her, if he had never met Kalyca. Maybe. Possible. Probably not. But Kalyca was there, making his life perfect in every way shape and form... except for Kalonice. Even though he knew she would never hear his words, he whispered them to Kalonice alone. Maybe, if Kalyca wasn't there, there could be something, but she is there. She's my other half, and you will always be in my heart - but not in the way Kalyca is. What I'm trying to say is that you will always be my friend - but nothing more. And now, you have to wake up! Because I am not good at people fainting! Please be awake, come on! He said, trying to laugh it off to himself, because his throat was closing up with fear. He was not good at first aid, and was starting to panic. Trying to think calmly, he rushed over to the waters edge and poured some cold water into his hands. He went back to Kalonices limp body and trickled a few drops down the back of her neck. He knew she was sensitive in that spot, but now, the knowledge for some reason made his stomach curl up into a sickening ball. Why, why did she...But he knew it wasn't something you could control. He sat next to her and tryed to remain calm, whispering to her limp body again. Maybe, some other male with come along and be what Kalyca is to me. Yeah - that'll happen and you'll forget all about this... Was he supposed to be just sitting here, waiting for her to wake up?! The water must have done something, right?!

Kalonice faintly heard Damien's whispers, but she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Never to hear his voice or see his face. She had given him her heart long ago, and he simply dropped it on the ground, hit it with a hammer, and sliced a katana through her very existence. But she was in her own world now. Memories were but memories, and she could finally live happily in her own mind...What was she saying?! She would never be able to forget this day or the words that had changed everything. Tears slid down her cheeks and she wanted to curl up into a little ball. She just wanted to go home and cry in her father's arms and forget that she was a demigod. Forget all of the people she met and the dummies she'd pulverized. But that, much like anything else she tried to forget, would never leave her conscience. And that's when it hit her. Freezing cold water pouring onto her neck. She jumped up, unsheathed her dagger and put it up to...Damien's neck? He had been trying to wake her up. She could even do what he wanted in her sleep. She had always been like a dog to him, and that's all she'd ever be. A mutt. She sheathed her dagger irritably. It was only by reflexes that she had tried to kill him. But for some odd reason she didn't feel like apologizing at the moment. She turned away from him, not because she didn't want him to see her cry, but because she didn't feel like looking at him. Didn't feel like staring what some sniveling mortal stole from her. No. Not stolen. She had just...gotten to him first. Kalonice put her head in her hands and sobbed. She stabbed her dagger into the ground with lightning speed and strength. She didn't want to be here anymore. Not with him. Not with the dummies. Not at The Beach. With all her might she stood up, not turning to look at him, and spat only one thing out before departing, her dagger still sheathed in the ground. Έχει αποφασιστεί. Ένας από μας πρέπει να πεθάνει. Αυτή είναι η τελευταία αντίο μου, γιατί είμαι τίποτα σε εσάς.

Damien flared up at her last words. She was not nothing to him! She was his best friend, for infinity! What the κόλαση! Τι θες να πεις ότι ένας από εμάς θα ζήσει! Είμαι δεν πρόκειται να σε σκοτώσει... His words trailed off as she realized that Kalonice hadn't meant him. The air seemed to drop several degrees as he growled, Θα τολμούσα να μην πειράξει Kalyca μου But she was already gone, vanished. Why did she have to be so much faster then Damien
