She completely and utterly alone. Jacob left, and her only friend was Summer. If you could call her a friend. Now...she was certain everyone else here either didn't care for her or were terrified of her. The raven-haired girl could be intimidating. She had a high rank in Gaea's army, along with Summer, of course, before the daughter of Zeus rejoined the camps.
Krissie managed a faint smile at an early memory, in the Undecided Cabin at camp, her first confrontation with Summer...and Jatta, who seemed to have disappeared. "What's your name? How many people are in this camp, exactly? Or are we and whoever teaches the classes in here the only ones? Oh and am I being too chatty? My mom always said that." She wasn't exactly 'too chatty' now.
Krissie pulled out a long, straight staff. No, not like the one Ally had. Basically a long stick. However, it was on fire and froze anything it touched besides Krissie. A useful weapon Krissie made. She still had her old mini-trident. Krissie scowled. The only reminder of her father. And Daemon, her sword.
A few people passed by Krissie and flinched when she caught their eyes. They hurried along, causing Krissie to snort in disgust. She wasn't going to kill them, seriously. The worst she would do to another person in Gaea's army would only be...well, not exactly 'harmless pranks'. Set their bed on fire when they're asleep, freeze their hands and feet (one person got frostbite from that), or something like that.
Krissie sighed and twirled the staff aimlessly, the flames flickering around the cold as ice wood.

Bella~ (School begins August 29th... NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL! Ally~Tell me about it. I seriously wish I was Scarlett, she's only moving onto 8th grade. Scarlett~ Haha. Bella&Ally: SHUT UP!) She passed by Krissie rather quickly, not wanting to talk to the daughter of Poseidon. She freaked Bella out a bit, and seemed darker and more...she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Krissie had changed a lot. Too much. Too much. Krissie seemed bored, or maybe a little lonely, twirling a large stick that was...on fire? Bella control fire, and she was surprised Krissie could. Wasn't she a daughter of Poseidon? Bella could drive people insane, teleport, and shape-shift...though really she didn't use the last power as much. Bella slowed when she was a little pass Krissie, sighed, then turned around and tried to smile. Her smile wavered when she saw the ebony haired girl's cold look and the dark glint in her sea-green eyes. "Hey...Krissie." She resisted the urge to call her Crystal, knowing that would just infuriate the girl. "We...haven't talked much recently, have we?" Bella asked, rather nervously at that.

(I feel bad for you guys. I'm only moving on to 7th grade.)
Krissie looked back at Bella rather coolly. She was still twirling her flaming staff. "No, no we haven't," she said, letting a little bit of an edge creep into her tone. A sort of, 'where are you going with this?' edge. But not an unfriendly one...exactly.
The edge of her staff suddenly exploded into bright light that quickly vanished. She smirked slightly at Bella's dazed and shocked expression. "That happens every once in awhile," she told the daughter of Mania, expecting her to quickly back off. Krissie supposed that was what she would have done if she were in Bella's position.
Krissie did have a knack for scaring people off, didn't she?

(Bella~Lucky! Ally~I know, right! Scarlett~lol Ally~What's that supposed to mean? Scarlett~ on you again. Ally&Bella~Seriously. SHUT UP! Scarlett~ make me. Ally~*tackles Scarlett, gags her* Bella~*grabs her legs* Scarlett~MMMPH!) Bella stumbled backwards a bit. " That happens every once in awhile" Bella retreated a bit further, rather slowly, watching Krissie warily. Bella was a little scared of Krissie. Okay, maybe not just 'a little', so, let's just say she was scared of Krissie. Only a few people weren't. Basically, people either- A: Were scared of her B: Did everything she said C: Ignored her or D: Didn't care for her. People who 'didn't care for her' were really rare. High rank in Gaea's army, one of the most...known traitors, and whispers were being passed around campgrounds, like gossip back at Camp Half-Blood that Krissie was actually, quite literally, going insane. She'd heard from another person, who'd heard from someone else, who'd overheard from someone who'd watched the scene that Krissie had once been caught screaming at voices that weren't there... Bella shivered at the thought. Crystal-not Krissie, whoever this newcomer was, Bella wanted Crystal back-used to be one of her friends. She could be intimidating when needed, and passed out plenty of threats but almost never went through with them. However, the daughter of Poseidon did, now. "So..." she said weakly. "I was wondering..." She trailed off at Krissie's intense stare. A little unnerving, but Bella swallowed and continued. "Come here often?" she blurted out the first line that came to her mind, then mentally kicked herself repeatedly. Of course she comes here often, she lives here! Bella stammered. "Uh, uh, I-I mean, gods that was a stupid thing to say..." Was Krissie looking amused? Bella blushed. "Anything go on recently?" she managed to get out with stammering or sounding, overall, like a freaking idiot.

(LOL)
Krissie raised an eyebrow at Bella's conversation choice. She wanted to talk to Krissie, but at the same time, didn't. Krissie supposed it was because they used to be friends at camp. She smiled bitterly. Of course, Summer had to be an idiot and return there. "I would think you should know," Krissie said dryly in an response to Bella's earlier question. "After all, all of Gaea's soldiers need to be ready when they're needed, and keeping track of events and dates is a necessary part of that."
Krissie half-expected Bella to stammer out an apology or something along the lines of it. Bella just seemed so nervous these days. Was she regretting her choice to join Gaea? Of course, more than one person did after getting to know the routine here. Wake up, train, eat, train, sleep. Train all day. Sometimes attack Camp Half-Blood, just for the fun of it, to warn them that no matter how many people they've recruited, no matter how many defenses that are set up-they'll lose.
Krissie smirked, knowing when the final battle came, she wouldn't hesitate to kill any of her old 'friends'.
What about Summer? the same voice entered her head again. Krissie groaned inwardly. Not this. Not now. What would you do if you had to kill Summer? the voice persisted, growing louder. Would you kill her?
Krissie hesitated in answering. She was certain she was just talking to herself, it was just her going crazy that made the voice, but a part of her knew she had to answer this. Would she kill Summer if Gaea ordered her to? Or would she help Summer? Would that label her as a traitor? To Gaea, this time, not to the camps?
Krissie shook her head to clear the thoughts, although she was a bit irritated now. It hasn't come to that, she told the voice crossly.

Ace was happening to walk by. He walked often. He spent hours taking strolls through the trees. The green colors around him made him relax a bit. It was his favorite color. No specific reason why. Well, maybe, you all can guess.
Ace slid his hand across the trunk of a tree. He had minimum power on plants. He never used any of the plants. Maybe trees for moving their branches to whack people, though it didn't work very well. Maybe sometimes he would be walking and he would have to push som of the foliage aside. That he did right now. He slid through the small brush as it bent out of his way. The earth manipulation he used all the time. It was easy, fast, and convenient. He was always on the ground, so it made it fairly simple for him.
He blinked his spring green eyes at the sound of two voices. Two girls. He sank into the trunk of a tree in his surprise. He didn't like to be seen. One of the reasons is he hated who he was. He hated his mother and what she did. He had sworn on the Rover Styx to serve her only because it would spare Summer her life. So he was stuck being a traitor. All his friends at camp that he had gotten to trust him... What were they going to think?
Ace hated eavesdropping. It wasn't his thing. Even though he did it all the time for Gaea. He was pretty skilled at it. He overheard them. The other girl seemed really nervous on talking to Krissie. Krissie. One of the higher ranked. Ace was alright with her. She could be intimidating. Ace didn't find her that way. Well, maybe because he knew a lot about her from his mother. "Most loyal and useful. You should be more like her" or something like that she had said. Ace decided to melt from the trunk. He stepped out quietly and walked over to them to where they could see him.

Out of the corner of her eye, she notcied Ace. Son of Gaea. She remembered, only a few days ago, when Summer had attacked one of Gaea's soldiers and decided to leave. The only reason she got out of it alive was because Ace joined...rejoined...whatever-Gaea.
Krissie turned slightly so that she was facing Ace, arms crossed. "Yes?" He had probably been eavesdropping or something, but it didn't really matter to Krissie at all. Even If he had been listening to Bella and Krissie talk, the main thing he would've heard would be Bella's continual stuttering, and a rather unimportant conversation.

Bella turned when she saw Ace. He'd made a big scene, saying he'd join Gaea and all if she let Summer go and live. It was too bad, too...because now Summer was gone. Well, she'd been smart to go back to the camp, but stupid at the same time. Because now Ace was stuck here.

Ace blinked his bright green eyes at both of the girls. He felt a bit awkward for a moment. What was he doing? Weren't they all demigods? "Nothing. I just overheard, and I decided to slip in the conversation." It was true, really. He didn't have much to say.
