"I don't care who or what happens to me next so long as I never have to go back to my parents" she said. She kept her distance from the other girl physicially as she didn't want the girl to see the burns.

Claire glanced at her. "What's your story?" she asked.

She shook her head. "just a New York city gal who hadn't had a good life...the details are irrelevent" she would never tell anyone although perhaps Artemis already might or might not have known how miserable her home life had been and what it had droven her to do in the past.

Claire nodded. "Almost everyone here joined because they either didn't have anyone or were betrayed those they did have . . . but we're all family here," she smiled slightly, but with a hint of sadness. "My dad, Ares . . . well, let's just say mom wasn't happy when the military man stopped coming around, so she took to drinking."

"Well, let's put it this way, nothing pleased my folks" she muttered. "I was learning trigonometry at age ten that was how intense my coursework was but again, nothing pleased them, nothing I ever did was good enough"

"I'm sorry," Claire said sympathetically. "That's insane! You learned trig at ten?! Are you an Athena kid or something?"

"Your Asian name means 'again'?" Claire asked, slightly confused. "That's interesting."

The girl laughed. "no Claire...my asian name it means...born over water...I am a water baby" she laughed slightly. This was funny. "Although you'd never know I was asian not from my red hair and the way I look...."

"That's for sure," Claire said lightly scratching the back of her head with a small laugh.

She nodded as she gathered her stuff and threw them back in her bag most of the stuff included her bag and a small set of what appeared to be small rocks but was of different colored. She took five of them and sprayed them out on the floor and began to toss one and catch one sort of like jacks. "So, what's your story?" she asked not taking her eyes off Claire but playing with the small rocks.

Claire shrugged. "Monsters started coming after me and my satyr--or guardian, tried to get me to Camp Half-Blood, a place for demigods. We got separated and then Lady Artemis found me. I just wanted a safe place, and she provided it." Claire looked at her rocks. "What are those, if you don't mind me asking?"

By this time Ally tossed one of the rocks and caught them but on the back of her hand. She flipped the rocks again so she caught them in her hand again. "Gonggi...it's like jacks but not quite" she explained. The only thing she kept from her Korean traditions. "it's not as easy as I make it look to be though I've been at it since...five..." she started a new round of the games and she kept going with the conversation. "Sayters? remind me what on earth they are..." She hadn't touched a mythology book in months she was getting rusty.

"That's cool," Claire said appreciatively. "Satyrs are half goat, half man. And they eat just about anything."

"That sounds cooler, I'm sure I've read it...I read most books, some more than once..." then she looked up. "oh Goddess...lets hope she's got her temper in check this time" she looked into the direction of the woods hoping that Stevie Rae who was hiding among the trees half asleep really was ready to behave better. Their last meeting really hadn't went great.
