Fandom Goners, The Next Chapter

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Blair Lillian-Darrow
Blair didn't crack a smile, still gripping the counter and ducking her head, deflated.

"Yea." She said simply, taking the test and tossing it into the trash. "What the hell is wrong with us? We're raising our children in the wild, where our oldest son has to fight every day to protect himself and us. Don't think I haven't seen his scars, because I have!" She demanded.

Angel Darrow
Angel squeezed his brother for a moment, eyes following their parents. "I'm going to check on them. You guys... Stay here." He ordered, jogging after his father. He walked in just before his mother tossed the test, and heard her words before she saw him. His jaw was clenched, eyes flaming.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He growled in a low voice. "You two are too stupid to wrap your shit up?!" He bellowed, not caring that they were his parents. His father looked thrilled, his mother looked almost as pissed as Angel. "You two are a fucking train wreck." He snarled, walking out and slamming the bathroom door behind him.

Life was hard enough. He already had to save Leo's ass every other day, his mother had lost her fighting ability after years of disuse. Angel was the guardian, he was all they had. He didn't want to protect a fucking baby. He walked past Claire and Leo without a word, fury radiating off of him. He already had the knife in his hand, hoping Leo wouldn't see it.​

= Evan =





Evan's smile disappeared at those words. He leaned against the bathroom's wall,keeping his glance in the door.


"And I don't,Blair? They are my children too. And Angel is...well. He is me. I worry as well,Blair. I fight for us too. This is the life we chose,I'm not backing down on it."





He sighed through his nose as Angel burst in,trying to not look pissed and failing miserably.


================


= Leonardo =





Leo didn't need any more confirmation after he heard those words,and he couldn't help the look of light angry in his own face. His brother was being selfish,as if it wasn't hard enough on his parents. And his parents were selfish too,as if they could protect a baby. And Leo...and right in the middle,as always. Leo that fought for them as well. Maybe he didn't have exactly the ability that his brother had,but he was still strong enough. He worked his ass out to be able to protect his family ,and of course Angelo was only considering what he did.


Any anger disappeared when he saw the knife in Angelo's hand,and he practically ran after his brother.


"Angel,you don't...have to deal with this like that. For Zeus's sake brother,let's talk"





His hand dropped to his stomach by reflex,the deep scar that Angelo left in his stomach still standing out. That crisis was...worse than usually. And Leo had became extra aware of any knife his brother held.
​

Blair Lillian-Darrow
Blair didn't argue with Angel, instead just holding back tears. Fucking pregnancy hormones. After he left, she turned to Evan.

"Yea. We did fucking fantastic with the first two." She snarled, shoving past him. The one thing Angel got from her was a temper.

Angel Darrow
For once, seeing Leo didn't calm Angel down at all, making him worse if anything. Right. Another kid that Angel had to protect.

"Fuck. Off." He snarled, glaring murderously back at the house. "I'm not dealing with this shit. They want another kid? They can take care of it. It's not my problem." He spat, not pausing for a second, knuckles white. This was exactly why he wished he hadn't brought Claire.​

 

[Rukia]

= Claire =





Claire stood paralyzed in the room for a few seconds,feeling completely out of the element. She had a vague idea of what was happening...but still,her presence seemed wrong. She was bursting into family's business that had nothing to do with her. Still,she followed Angel as he stormed out. The way he spoke with Leo made her flinch,but she still reached out of his hands.


"Angel...I'm sorry."
​

 

[KaalysBR]

= Leonardo =

Leo growled at Angelo's words,anger bursting out from the way his brother was looking at him. Leo never,ever lost his temper. But these days...he felt wrong. Sick. As if something was going to burst out of him. And that's exactly what happened now. He grabbed his brother's shirt,pining him against the wall.


"Don't talk to me like I'm a fucking child. I never asked for your protection. You should have left me to die,Angel. It's not like I'm not treated as furniture by this family anyway. For all I care,I could just drop dead."


He released Angel's shirt,storming out of the house.
​

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Angel Darrow
Angel glared at his brother, unfazed. He ignored both of them, taking a different route and sprinting up to the attic, where he slept. There was a bedroom that he could've used, but he preferred the privacy of the attic. And the amount of jokes he could make, not that he was feeling humorous at that moment. He felt like he was exploding, Maniac screaming in his ear.

THEY DO NOT WANT YOU. JUST END IT. THEY'LL BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU. NOBODY LOVES YOU. DO IT. END YOUR PATHETIC, MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A LIFE.


Angel was shaking with rage, unable to ignore the voice. The voice that he only had to listen to because his father had been too selfish. He had heard his parents talking about Morpheus' prophecy, about how they had children anyways. It was their fault.


END IT! END IT NOW!


Angel gripped the knife, more tempted than ever to listen to Maniac. Why the hell not? Maniac was right. Nobody would care.

Nick Jones

​

Nick turned his head around, to see a new girl." Hey there." He greeted her with a neutral look, not bothering to stop drawing."I suppose you're looking a somewhere to seat. Right?" He scooted over, fi with a E. "Emma, right? I'm Nick." He held out his hand in a friendly manner

@purplepanda288
​

Emma Wells

Emma was less then ecstatic when he didn't even look up at her, a little pout formed on her face. "Ya, I am." She took her chance an sat down next to him. Emm looked at the drawing, finding it well done.




"Your the first person to know my name! Oh it's nice to meet you Nick." She took his hand in hers and gave it a hardy shake. "Your really good at drawing. Wish I could dare like that."



​

@Naloth

 

[Rukia]

= Claire =





Claire would usually have given Angel his privacy. He was upset and hurt,after all. He probably didn't want anyone to speak with him right now. But when she saw the look in Angel's face...something flared inside of her. A warning light. Claire ran after Angelo to the attic,gasping when she saw the knife in his hands.


"Angel!"





She reached forward and grabbed the knife by the blade,completely ignoring the pain when it cut her hand. She reached forward,holding Angel's face between her hands and kissing him deeply. She quickly pulled back,making him face her.


"Angelo...please don't do this. For me,don't...don't hurt yourself. I'm here for you. Please don't do this."





She hugged his waist tightly,pulling him closer to her.
​

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Angel Darrow
TW: Self-Harm

You aren't worth the oxygen you breathe. End it, Angelo Darrow. Do what your father was too weak to do. END IT.

Angel cringed, hardly noticing Claire. The voice was screaming in his head, his eyes were slightly glazed. Almost robotically, he pulled her hand from the knife. In an instant, it was slicing against his wrist, adding a scar to the collection and beginning to bleed heavily. He hardly noticed, repeating the action twice more.

Blood loss started to make him lightheaded. There was no nectar or ambrosia in the house, aside from a small hidden stash in his room. He crumpled, making a vague action to stop the bleeding without success.​

 

[Rukia]

= Claire =





"NO!"





Claire grabbed Angel before he hit the floor,holding him tightly against her chest. She frantically reached for his wrist,feeling like she was about to pass out.


"Nonononono. Angel,you're not dying on me! YOU'RE NOT!"





Tears started to drip through her eyes as she reached for her pockets,nearly passing out with relief as she found a piece of ambrosia and her nectar canteen. She pushed the ambrosia inside of Angel's mouth,dropping a bit of nectar into the wound to help it close.


"Angel? Please talk to me." She reached for his face,dropping the rest of the nectar in. "Please don't die...I need you Angel...We're going to be together...please..."
​

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Angel Darrow
As it always did when Angel was having one of his fits, Maniac all but nullified the effects of the godly food, leaving the cuts open and bleeding. But it brought him to his sense enough to open his eyes. Immediately, he staggered to his bed, using the bloody knife to cut a large strip from his bedsheet. He wrapped it around his wrist, slowing the blood flow.

"Jesus Christ, Maniac." He whispered, bone pale and gaunt faced. "Not today."​

 

[Rukia]

= Claire =





Claire had started to cry. She was unable to stop the sobs as she held onto Angelo,not managing not get any words out besides the sounds of her crying. She buried his face in his chest,but quickly managed to get some control around around her crying.


"W-we need to get you s-some help." She gently pulled his wrist forward,fixing the make-up bandage.
​

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Angel Darrow
Angel shook his head, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm... I'm okay." He said quietly, leaning against the wall to stay on his feet. "I love visiting home. Why'd I ever leave?" He scoffed, watching blood seep through the bedsheet mutely.

"I... I really hate my family curse." He chuckled weakly. Because him having Maniac was his father's fault. Not Angel's. It's why he ever touched a knife, why he had episodes like this every week. Fun times.​

 

[Naloth]

Nick Jones

Nick shrugged, he had been commented on his drawing skills for years, and all have been the same." To be honest, I think anyone can draw, if they put their mind to it. It's not that hard, just let your imagination control you. And then, you will get something like this." He drew a picture of a swan on a lake, with two people sitting on the background, looking at the sunset.

He admired his artwork, he didn't see anything special about it. "You must be a sibling of Max, aren't you?" Curiosity taking over his mind.​

@purplepanda288

 

[Radiohead]

Astrid gave Gavin a confused look when he mentioned the family issues,but didn't press him any further. Instead,she locked their fingers together and squeezed them softly,hoping to show some of her support.


"That's okay. I don't...really have a family but I imagine those must be rough." She gestured for Gavin to follow her to the river,turning to him with a light blush. "Shoot,forgot my bikini. I will jump in with my clothes on."


She placed her hand in front of her eyes,blinking when the sun hurt them. Astrid wasn't outside that often...She had to change that now. Her expression turned into surprise once he mentioned the quest. She knew about it,of course. Those were very torturous days for Astrid.


"Yeah I...heard about it. I...doubt it's your fault. I-I did think you were going to die,though." She blinked at the unexpected tears,looking back to the river.

========

Jake felt his hands dropping to the back of Lara's shirt,almost in a reflexive manner. When his kiss got deeper,a warning flag screamed in Jake's head. He immediately pulled back,placing his hands back at her shoulders.





"Dammit...sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I will learn to control it. You're just...so gorgeous. Slap me if I ever do it again,I deserve it."

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Lara "L" Jeffries
Lara stiffened when he moved his hands, but almost recoiled when he started to go further. She didn't relax until he spoke, eyes slightly wide. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heartrate.

"You shouldn't have to be sorry for that." She muttered bitterly, sliding away from him slightly. Talk about damaged goods. Because she wouldn't slap him, she wouldn't yell at him, she'd just... Freeze. That was just what fear did to her.

Gavin Bianco
<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/upload_2016-7-19_20-37-39.jpeg.f51336e6f5a23e77f7ce785f1344ead3.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="144185" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/upload_2016-7-19_20-37-39.jpeg.f51336e6f5a23e77f7ce785f1344ead3.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

Gavin's mouth twisted into a grimace for half a second. He'd never stop feeling guilty about that quest, the agony he had inflicted on Claire for trying to save her. Trying to stop his facial expression from moving, he shrugged.

"That makes two of us." He noted quietly. Nobody had been able to explain why Claire had been screaming in pain, not helping her brother, who was doing the same. Their pain was mirrored. Neither of them really knew, or talked about, what would happen if one of them died, but he had a decent guess. If pain was mirrored, strong emotions were mirrored... The brain had to have something to do with that. And if one brain stopped... Both of them would. It only made sense.

He shook his head, yanking off his shoes and shirt. He wasn't embarrassed to strip himself of his jeans, he hated swimming in jeans. Besides, boxers weren't exactly smutty. He waded in up to his waist before submerging, the feeling of the water amazing. He groaned as he resurfaced, shaking the hair from his eyes.​

 

[Radiohead]

"Yes I should apologize. I asked you to trust me,but how can you trust me if I do...this?" He ran one hand through his face,trying to make the guilty expression in his face disappear without much success. He sighed through his nose,holding Lara's hand so she wouldn't run away from him. Jake kissed it softly,keeping his eyes on Lara. "Sorry. You deserve a man. Not a hormone ridden teenager."

======================

Astrid sighed,feeling both his guilty and sadness at the same time. It pained him and it pained her,like it had always been. Astrid couldn't help but wonder if one day she would lose the notion of which emotions were hers and which emotions were from other people. Shaking her head to push those thoughts away,Astrid quickly followed Gavin into the water. She didn't bother about getting her clothes wet. In fact...that was her smallest concern right now.


A small smirk appeared in Astrid's face as she recovered her usual humour,and she splattered water in Gavin's direction.

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Lara "L" Jeffries
Lara shook her head, still looking a bit frantic. "You are a teenager. You're supposed to be hormone-ridden. And I'm supposed to be the stupid teenage girl who sleeps with the guy she barely knows. And I can't be, and I never will be." She said, hand falling to her abdomen, where one of the worst bruises was from her 'conversation' with the Apollo idiots. Gods, the second she told Clifton about it, they'd end up dead in their bunks. And she couldn't exactly hide it, with her messed up face.

Gavin Bianco

Gavin shielded himself from the water, laughing. In an instant, he dove under the water, swimming toward her like a shark. He resurfaced and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her deeply. The desire that his sister had forced in his head was gone, but that didn't get rid of his normal teenage hormones that were screaming, 'Start stripping'. Yes, he wanted it to be special. For her, to show that he was serious about it. That didn't change the fact that he couldn't tear her eyes from her, not that he particularly wanted to.​

 

[Radiohead]

Jake turned his eyes away from Lara,focusing on the window as he gathered his thoughts. He had always considered himself an adult. It wasn't like life had given him much chance to be a teenager. Until now,at least.


"You're not a stupid teenager girl and I don't want you to be so. I'm not a child either. I won't be acting like one." He stood up so he could recover his breath,but he was soon back to the bed. He kneeled in front of Lara,gently rubbing one of the bruises from his face. "You deserve to see the best in me. And I will give it to you. I promise."





He lowered his eyes to her hand,sighing through his nose. Capture the Flag...he didn't want to go. But he would. For Lara.


And because the campers who hurt her would surely be there. It had been sometime since Jake had...killed. But he still remembered how to make it look like an accident.

====================

Astrid melted in Gavin's arms,looking at him with the same desire. She knew that it was soon to say that she loved him,of course. He knew her for basically a day. But Astrid had wanted him for years. Of course she loved him.


She pulled the wet hair away from his face,placing another kiss him in his lips. Astrid didn't really mind that she was wearing clothes in the water,she still felt completely comfortable in his arms.


"I wouldn't miss this Capture The Flag for anything. I might break a few bones,but I have a good feeling. I bet you're going to get that flag."

​

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Lara "L" Jeffries
Lara stared at him, pained. She didn't know what to do. Guys were one of the many things that she'd probably never understand. Hell, people in general, she'd never understand. But she wasn't stupid enough to miss the anger in Jake's eyes. The last time she'd seen anger like that in a person... It was when Damon saw her step-father. The cold, unrelenting fury, the one that brought a person to murder. She flinched at the memory, one of the only times she'd been scared of the older boy.

"I can... I can try. Maybe." She said, more to distract him than anything. Her eyes widened slightly when she realized what she was saying. What was she saying? That she'd... Let him? Suffer through it so she wouldn't lose him? Or try to... What? She had no idea. But it was a safe bet. She was sincere, if nothing else. If it came down to trying her best to be normal or losing him, she'd go for the former.

Gavin Bianco
Gavin smiled, forcing himself to pull away slightly. "I hope so. The entire team still hates me, I'll never be as good as Hayden was." He noted. Hayden had been the previous team captain, and a complete badass. Because of him, their team almost never lost. But he was eventually injured badly in the leg, and couldn't fight anymore. So Gavin, being the oldest and most experience.

Come on, Gavin. Talk about anything. Think about anything except how she'd look without clothes. Stop being such a teenage guy. Gods.




Gavin gave a shaky smile,keeping his eyes firmly on hers. "You look amazing, by the way. Just saying." He murmured.​

 

[Radiohead]

Jake hadn't realized how tightly his fists had been pressed until he saw the nervous expression in Lara's face. He slowly released the tight hold,breathing deeply to calm himself.


Falling damage is surprisingly common in Capture The Flag. I just need to find a place where a camper could break their neck and not bring any suspicions upon me...





He bit his lower lip to try and distract himself,but it was Lara's words that brought him to the present. Turning his glance to her,Jake imagined that most boys wouldn't be able to resist those words. Jake smiled to his girlfriend,placing one hand in her face as he leaned forward.


"No." He placed a kiss in her forehead. "We're not doing it,Lara. Not until you're ready and comfortable with it. And if you're never ready,we're never doing it. I won't push you. It's simple as that."





He sat by her side again,placing one hand gently around her shoulders.





"I would never ask something like this of you,Lara. I can't really imagine how much it hurts,but I won't be adding to that pain."

=============================

Astrid dropped her eyes to Gavin's nude chest,unable to control the light blush in her face. While her expression was mostly controlled,her mind was starting to freak out. Gavin wanted to do things differently. He wanted to be the good person that she knew that he was. And she found it incredibly nice. But her body was having different ideas about him.


For Zeus' sake Astrid stop looking at the boy like you want to bite him. But oh gods,I really want to...





"So do you. You really look amazing."


She couldn't resist it anymore. Astrid found herself pulling his hand and placing it on her stomach,bellow her wet shirt. They couldn't do anything,she knew Gavin would rather wait. But there were some things that she really wanted to do.

 

[ThatOneWeirdo]

Lara "L" Jeffries
Lara took a deep breath, leaning in and kissing him deeply, arms slowly and hesitantly wrapping around his neck. After a few moments, she pulled away, staring at him.

"I'm not an idiot, Jake. It'll happen sooner or later. Why not now?" She asked quietly, expertly hiding the fear in her gaze. That was one thing she had become very good at, with her... Colorful background. Even Clifton, who knew her better than anyone, couldn't read her expression worth shit.

You don't have to do this. Those Apollo bastards deserve what's coming to them. So what if your boy toy kills them? It's not his first kill. Kara laughed, but Lara hardly noticed, the words sinking in slowly.

Because he's a decent person. And I can't let him do that for me. She shot back after a beat.

Then kill them yourself. Or don't. I don't care either way. But decide quickly.




Lara took a deep breath, deciding in a heartbeat. "I... I changed my mind. I don't want to do Capture the Flag." She said, the words almost paining her to say. It was one of the few times when she and Kara were a team rather than a pair of teenage girls fighting over the same body. They fought together like nobody else. "I'm not feeling up to it."

Gavin Bianco
Gavin inhaled sharply when she moved his hand. "You're making it... Very difficult for me to pretend to be a good person." He said slowly, smiling slightly. "I keep telling myself to stop being a teenage, hormone-ridden guy. And you make that impossible." He admitted, desire for her flaming in his gut. Sorry, Claire.

But he finally felt something, through their bond. Worry. Fear. Absolute, protective terror. He closed his eyes for half a second, blocking it out as best he could. It was slowly growing as he tried to ignore it. But he covered it on his face, kissing Astrid again. Terror hit him like a brick, and he lurched away, gripping his head.

"Damn it, Claire!" He hissed, trying to pinpoint where she was. Somewhere he'd never been, he couldn't put his finger on it.​

 

[Play On Words]

Connor Miller
Connor smirked at the words, leaning against her slightly. "Let me guess... Your trainer isn't me, so... Sullivan Hastings." He guessed, snapping his fingers. The Eros guy was as much of a manwhore as they came, but he really was funny, especially when it came to training. "And I'd protect you. I promise. I'd rather focus on you than on... Some stupid game about a flag or something. They can last without their team captain, we haven't won in years anyways." He laughed, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her deeply.​

 

[Radiohead]

Jake stiffened at her words and the way she was holding him close,desperately trying to keep his mind clear. She didn't really want him,not like that. He knew it. She was doing this for him. He had to be the controlled one because Lara would regret it later. It took him all his strength,but he pulled away from her to sit a bit more distant in the bed.


"If it happens one day...I want it to be different. Special. Not in my cabin while you're still afraid of me,Lara."


His jaw stiffened lightly at her words,and anger burned in Jake's eyes. How was he supposed to kill the Apollo campers now? His entire plan was ruined if he didn't have the competition as an excuse. If he did it in another night,Chiron would know. Maybe annoy them enough and make it a self-defense?


Jake forced himself back to calmness,his glance dropping to Lara. Was she tried to distract him from his anger? Maybe. It wasn't working but...she was doing everything she could.


"We go. And..." Those words physically wounded him. He didn't know whether he was lying or not in that moment. "I don't hurt anyone. Unless...Unless they get close to you. Then I don't guarantee anything."

==================

"I'm a hormone ridden teenager too." She admitted that with a smirk,pulling a bit close to him. Her hands stopped in the air as she saw the conflicted emotions in his face,like he was trying to push back...something. She hesitated,unable to shake off her own insecurity. Didn't...didn't Gavin want her?


It wasn't until she saw him gripping his head that she understood that something was wrong,and Astrid reached out for him.


"Gavin? What's wrong,what's happening with Claire?" The distress,the pain,the terror. It hit Astrid like a brick. She fell backwards into the water,shocked enough that she didn't even think of pulling up for breath.

Faith LeBlanc

"No amount of make-up can hide an ugly personality.”

​

She kept her gaze on Maia's face once Zendaya was healing her wrists, at least minimizing the blood loss. Faith then reverted towards the wrist as she noted that all of a sudden it was nothing but a pink scar which blended with the others. Before she awaited the conversation between the two girls to finish up, she remained in the background.





Seeing her stomach finally managed a growl she wanted to get some grub in her system before she caught her friends attention, "Not to be rude and interrupt the chit chat but I am starved and gonna go get some lunch... you coming or?" she said with a smile on her face awaiting for her answer . The female had missed breakfast due to waking up late and she was not going to miss lunch.

"The earth has its music for those who will listen"



​

Giving a nod the girl confirmed his guess, "Hit the nail right on the head... I didn't need you to be bothered with my training. You already have yours as it is don't need mine on your plate." She wasn't quite on good terms with the son of Eros due to starting on bad situations but he still helped her, so she took what she could get. "Well then whatever you say Connor I just don't want to be that specific reason. I suppose I can give it a shot but no guarantee, plus being on your team I know Sullivan's reaction would be cause I am biased towards you." As he wrapped his arms round her she wrapped hers round his neck, "When in reality you placed me." she chuckled as she was silenced slowly by his lips, reciprocating the deepened kiss, for a second the female forgot they were in the pavilion still and she wasn't much for public display of affection mainly because she didn't like to attract unwanted attention but she didn't really seem to care at this point.
