Not Your Knight

Alex Knight. Sixteen. In love with Gemma Martin, I'm her knight.

This entire ordeal was weird to Camilla. The girl was just in Santa Maria, California a few days ago and she was practically shipped over to the other side of the country in Long Island. At first, the girl protested to coming to some stupid little summer camp and wasting her summer when she could have been out in southern California, going to more parties than she could count on her fingers with her friends. So she stayed in some sketchy motel for a few days until her money that her mother gave her ran out, and had no place to go to besides Camp Half-Blood, or whatever. Dragging her luggage with her, the brunette saw a figure approach her. They stood for a moment, watching her. “Are you going to say something or just stand there and gawk at me?”

Alex was just strolling around the forest, was it a dumb idea? Absolutely. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard someone’s voice talking to him probably. He looked around for a second, and pointed to himself. “Are you talking to me? Because I’m not gawking at you. You were the one who walked into my field of vision.”

Tatia had just woken up from yet another nightmare; they’d become more and more frequent over the last few weeks. Nobody knew though, she made sure of that.  She couldn’t have people worrying about her - she hated people worrying about her.  Tonight was no different as she made her way out onto the room of her cabin to try and calm her racing heart.  “It was just a dream…. Just a dream,” she repeated to herself.

Alex wasn’t sleeping well and him not allowing Gemma to spend nights with him anymore was probably one of the many reasons. He took one of Noah’s many books and was plan on reading it but his mind was always elsewhere nowadays and could barely pay any attention until he saw Tatia leave their cabin. He followed his sister, wondering what could of possibly happened for her to be up this late. “Hey, sis. Everything okay?” He asked quietly.

[alexknightingale]

“They came out of nowhere.. I couldn’t react in time.” :3

Alex should of been there sooner, maybe he could of reacted sooner. But no, he got held up. He looked at Gemma, she was hurt, gods dammit I should of been there, he thought as he led her to safety. “It’s not your fault! This is all mine, I’m sorry... I’m so sorry, I should of been there with you, helped you. But I wasn’t and that’s on me.” He muttered as he kept looking at her wound and kept trying to figure out how much longer until he could get her help for it. Where was everyone in her hour of need? Where was I?

[alexknightingale]

“I am dying. There is nothing you can do about it.”

Alex was going to do everything in his power not to let it happen. His own sister couldn’t die like this, no fucking way, he wasn’t going to let it. He held her close to him, doing whatever he could not to cry. She was in pain, she was the only one who had the right to cry. “You’re not going to die on me!” He shouted as he squeezed her shoulder, not too hard. “You have so much left to do, watch me get married, you getting married... You can’t just die like this...” Alex finally let his tears fall as he tried to listen to her heartbeat but he heard nothing. She was gone.

“Not at all.”

[alexknightingale]

“How you been?”

[gemmaxmartin]

–– “is it weird that i don’t think i’ve ever heard you suggest cuddling before?”

[alexknightingale]

“Um? I don’t remember?”

[demigoddess-scarlett]

“But you love me anyways.”

[alexknightingale]

“Do I even have a choice?”

[gemmaxmartin]

–– “oh! can we do that at the beach? i just realized we’ve never been there together.”

[alexknightingale]

“Absolutely! Just imagine cuddling in front of that.”

[demigoddess-scarlett]

“Good.”

[alexknightingale]

“You’re so mean to me.”

Alex/Gemma

Who would throw the other in the pool: Alex would let Gemma push him since he would feel like shit for throwing her in the pool.

Who is the better carer when the other is sick: Probably Gemma, Alex is too stubborn to stay in bed so she blackmail him.

Who would force the other to do extreme sports with them: Alex, definitely.

Who would cook the better romantic dinner: Neither, they would just order out.

Who would build the blanket fort in the living room: Gemma

Who would have the best holiday ideas: Gemma

Who would need to clean out the other’s stuff to make room for their own: Gemma, Alex doesn’t have that much stuff and he gave her all of those teddy bears.

[demigoddess-scarlett]

“Now you’re getting it.”

[alexknightingale]

“I’m actually not that surprise.”

[gemmaxmartin]

–– she pulled away a little to look at him with a smile, “always. you want to do anything in particular?”

[alexknightingale]

He kissed her forehead, smiling at her. “We can always try to do a picnic?”

[demigoddess-scarlett]

“Still no trust because of it. Turn twenty and we’ll talk.”

[alexknightingale]

“So you’re telling me you won’t even think about trusting me until three years from now?”

[gemmaxmartin]

–– she shook her head, and kept shaking it until he stopped talking about that subject. that’s the only thing she wanted to avoid, and the only reason she thought the whole of last week was weird. gemma removed her hands from her face and hugged her arms to her stomach. she couldn’t help but smile, her cheeks still red. gemma leaned over and wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest, “you don’t know how glad i am to hear that.. i love you too.”

[alexknightingale]

He hugged her back, squeezing her a little. “Good, I want you happy. Are you up for doing something normal?”

[gemmaxmartin]

–– gemma’s face turned red and she couldn’t help but hide her face in her hands, “i don’t know.. i didn’t technically have him yet and he was just.. there! and he was taller than both of us!” she spoke against her hands. she peeked through her fingers to look at him, “it does?”

[alexknightingale]

“It would be weird if you had him now, since you are fourteen and we haven’t... Let’s not talk about that. Hey, we might get taller over time.” He scratched the back of his head. “Yeah, when I said I love you, I meant it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I know we’re still basically kids right now but you mean a lot to me.”
