telling me that one of the campers never talked bad about a dead/presumed dead titan army member after the war ended and then got punched in the face?
well heres lou punching someone for bad mouthing her big bro >:)
To say he was surprised was an understatement. It was a normal dinner, for the most part. Kayla and Rowan were talking about some archery contest they’d had earlier while Maria and Austin were writing a poem, for some boy Maria liked, he figured. So when the pavilion suddenly burst into chaos, it was a surprise.
It started with a sickening crack cutting through the hushed conversations and one of the Ares kids hit the ground, his nose was bleeding, broken, Will assumed. He heard the boys attacker before he saw her.
“Say that about my brother again and I’ll make sure you end up with worse than a broken nose!”
Will was quick to his feet when he heard Lou Ellen’s voice, but Cecil was quicker. He was at the daughter of Hecate’s side almost immediately, standing between her and the boy while Ellis tended to his brother.
He wasn’t sure what had set his friend off, but she was glaring daggers at the son of Ares on the floor, purple eyes glowing with rage though there were tears brimming them, he could see the Mist curling around her, as if responding to her emotions. Cecil placed a hand on her shoulder and she scowled.
“You don’t know anything about my brother and you have no right to talk about him.” She snapped, turning to walk out, with Cecil on her heel.
“What happened?” Will asked Ellis as he knelt next to the two boys.
“Mark thought it would be fun to poke fun at the Hecate kids in the army,” Ellis muttered. “I told you not to piss Lou off, just because she doesn’t look like a threat doesn’t mean she isn’t one.”
Mark only rolled his eyes and winced as Will poked his nose. “Well, it’s not broken. What did you even say to her?”
“I was asking about that general guy.” Ellis rolled his eyes.
Will was well aware of the stories, despite the war only being a month ago, rumors spread like wildfire about the demigods in Kronos’s army, specifically, about General Alabaster Torrington.
Now, Will had come face to face with the guy during their Philadelphia raid. He’d been in charge. Michael had insulted the guy a bunch but he only really got aggressive when his sister – Lou, he remembered – got shot, Sylvie had been aiming for him, but her arrow almost…avoided him.
Now I wish you hadn’t done that, I really was trying to be civil. He’d said.
So, Will really had a hard time believing the rumors, most of them revolved around the guy harming and killing his own army, specifically, his siblings. Which really didn’t seem realistic considering he’d only attacked them because they hurt his sister. It was solidified by Lou and Cecils annoyance by the rumors.
“How many times do you need to be told not to talk about Alabaster, Mark?”
“Why should I listen to you? You’re probably still loyal to that damn titan.”
Ellis scowled. “I’m not. Alabaster is- was, my friend. Besides never heard you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead?”
Will pursed his lips. “He seems to be a touchy subject, so how about we don’t talk about him for now?”
Mark only rolled his eyes but Ellis gave him a thankful look.
