Stay away

“are you okay?”Rowan asks coming up to her. “Come come let’s get you some food.”

shw stumbles back, trying to avoid being touched and looking the person in the eye. "No, no no get away from me!" She sounds panicked and frantic

she flinches hard, moving away from the touch in a panic, it seems the touch was just small enough it didn't trigger any of her powers, but since she can't control them she panics all the same. The feeling and sense of dread and misery is strong in the air around her. Like it's radiating off of her and pushing into the people around her causing them to feel it to. "Don't touch me, what... Im not whatever you just said. Mortal..?? I'm sorry are you not?"

"what are you even talking about?" She looks at the girl like shes crazy. "Are yku on something lady. The last person who said stuff like that took a bite out kf me so im gonna go, you. Get clean? I dknt know but I want no part in whatever tbjs is" cleary she has no idea of any of the demigod world.

"and why exactly should I let you explain whatever world you've cooked up in your head to me?"

she stumbles backwards like a frightened animal, desperately trying to avoid eye contact while putting space between them. "No stop! Don't come any closer!" Her voice sounds panicked, upon looking closer her arm is stained with blood from where she's holding her sidez she's all skin and bones, he can see her veins to through her pale skin. And the most oppressing feeling of dread settles over raven the closer he gets to her

shes shaking be realizes, shes terrified one. And she's still avoiding eye contact desperately, weird. She scrambled back a bit more so he can't even accidentally touch her. But can still hear him. "Talk? Why"

"Because you're clearly hurt, and it'd be pretty messed up to notice that and just leave you here anyway. Plus, camp has like, a ton of resources to help you, and I'd assume if you've already crossed the border then you're supposed to be here anyway." As he spoke, he rested his head in his hands.

"no, nono can't touch me, nobody can touch me" she starts panicking again, which causes the feeling of dread to heighten, joined by the misery, not very fun. But it's clearly because of her. And she doesn't seem to be able to control it. "I can't, I can't be around people"

"You don't have to be around people, and nobody's gonna touch you without permission." He explained, not moving from his spot. "This place is safe, nobody's gonna hurt you, especially when you're in this condition."

"promise?" Her voice shakes, like she's going against every instinct in her body to trust him, but she tries and that's progress, the feelings she's pushing out start to waiver slightly but she still can't control it

"Yes, I promise. Camp Half-Blood is literally a safe space for demigods, I'm sure it'll be better here than wherever you came from."

"I don't want to keep hurting people" she says softly. Clearly more terrified of herself than anything else in that moment

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Raven asked, lowering his voice just a bit. He really didn't want to startle her any more, he was just curious, and more than a bit concerned.

"I... I don't know. Bad things keep following me. And I.. I think it's me" she looks at her own hands like she hates it, hates herself for causing whatever this is even if she doesn't understand it

"huh .. what kind of bad things? Like, monsters maybe?" He thought this could totally be a situation of a demigod being claimed, and being attacked by monsters, but you never know what's with demigods at this point.

"when, whenever I touch people they see bad things, like they, they twitch, and say things that uh, that sounds like they see someone dying, and, and it's my fault."

Raven thought for a minute. "I mean, are you trying to do that to people, or is it accidental?" He had quite a bit of doubt that someone would intentionally do that, especially considering how she was reacting to it.

"no, no I don't want to do that, I don't know how, or, or why it's happening I... Am I monster just like they said?"

"and... And you promise no one will touch me? Or like, try to take a bite out of me" (if ykyk) "I... I don't want to hurt anyone I swear"

"If we have to, we can just tell everyone about the situation. Like the people working at the infirmary will probably need to know, and maybe Chiron too. It can be one of the first things we tell them, so that we can make sure nobody touches you. If they do anyway, it's on them."

"right, right" she slowly stands, she's shaking, now that she's calmer the adrenaline has worn off, and she's starting to very much feel the pain. She stumbles, the feeling seems to be affecting everyone else very much, but ... Not raven for some reason. Maybe because he helped calm her? He's like... Safe in a way

Raven noticed her struggles to walk. "Do you need some help? I can probably get like, a wheelchair from the information something."

"I... Maybe, but I.. I think I can walk?" She can't, she just doesn't want to be a bother but she is walking like it hurts and she's seconds away from eating dirt

"You sure? Because you look like you're having a bit of a hard time with that. It won't be any problem to get you help, if that's an issue."

she hesitates but she slowly nods "please, I... I haven't taken a break or anything in days. Been on the run for too long"

she nods, sitting greatful in the wheelchair, and basically chugging the water. When she speaks it's quiet "can you... Push the wheelchair?" She asks raven, he's been the only person not well scared of her or trying to hurt her so

"uh, well.... Some girl tried to take a literal bkte of me, and then I ran, and uh some weird thing with what looked like just one eye? Started chasing me at some point. When I lost them, something else started chasing me but I didn't get a good look at it. I fell a lot, got banged up"

"I guess? Everyone keeps throwing that word at me. Something about wouldn't be able tk cross some border if I wasn't but I dont know. The girl tbat tried tk take a good bite called me that"

"oh joy. So that means my mom didn't just abandon me? I guess? I don't know. My dad was real salty about her leaving after dumping me on him though."

"uh so far it's anytime I touch someone, or if I'm like, panicked and I look someone in the eyes they get what I'm assuming is a hallucination of sorts? I don't really know"

she takes it and eats it, she wrinkles her nose at the taste. It tastes.... Kind of like air. Like nothing. Weird "how's it interesting?"

"good to know, maybe my taste buds are broken or something, jt tasted like nothing, and was a weird texture, but uh, yeah sure don't eat much or bad things happen got it"

Will nodded. "How are you feeling now?"

"less like someone just ran me over and threw me into a lake of fire, so I'd say that's a good thing and your magic food worked"

"Don't make me eat more kf that stuff. It's nasty. Please, and i... could gku explain literally everything. I dknt... what is this place"

"Well, as you know, this is camp half blood. It's a safe space for demigods and other creatures alike, just... Not monsters. Most people here are children of the gods. We deal with quests, and prophecies, stuff like that, but mostly we do a lot of activities and training."

"so, someone can help me control... Whatever I keep doing to people here? And if I accidentally hurt someone they can... Be like healed? That's... Nice." She seems to calm a little bit

she stumbles backwards like a frightened animal, desperately trying to avoid eye contact while putting space between them. "No stop! Don't come any closer!" Her voice sounds panicked, upon looking closer her arm is stained with blood from where she's holding her sidez she's all skin and bones, he can see her veins to through her pale skin. And the most oppressing feeling of dread settles over raven the closer he gets to her

"promise?" Her voice shakes, like she's going against every instinct in her body to trust him, but she tries and that's progress, the feelings she's pushing out start to waiver slightly but she still can't control it

"less like someone just ran me over and threw me into a lake of fire, so I'd say that's a good thing and your magic food worked"

"Don't make me eat more kf that stuff. It's nasty. Please, and i... could gku explain literally everything. I dknt... what is this place"

she panics and scrambles out of his hold. It's too late. Since she still is unable to control her powers, him catching her triggers them, which causes a hallucination, a very real one, that overtakes his vision and is so very lifelike. The scene plays out is someone very near to him dying.... At his own hands.

"No.. this isn't real. He's still alive and he didn't die. You're scared. Very scared.." Gavin was shaking, tears falling down his face. But somehow he is able to... resist it. Speak to her. "I'll ask again, sorry for scaring you. What's your name and may I help to the infirmary to get you healed?"

"No, no you camt turn me in. No i..." she looks around before sprinting kff the other direction down a crowded street

she flinches hard, moving away from the touch in a panic, it seems the touch was just small enough it didn't trigger any of her powers, but since she can't control them she panics all the same. The feeling and sense of dread and misery is strong in the air around her. Like it's radiating off of her and pushing into the people around her causing them to feel it to. "Don't touch me, what...

she panics and scrambles out of his hold. It's too late. Since she still is unable to control her powers, him catching her triggers them, which causes a hallucination, a very real one, that overtakes his vision and is so very lifelike. The scene plays out is someone very near to him dying.... At his own hands.

she doesn't notice him until it's too late, she crashes into him, before scrambling back just as fast, but it's too late, the hallucinations take over Finns vision, a scene of losing someone who means a lot to him replaces the city scene and the pale girl in front of him. He can vaguely hear her muttered desperate apologies before she takes off again

"Oh! Didn't m-" he stumbled backwards until he's backed up into a wall, a panicked look on his face, mumbling something incoherent over and over again. Once the hallucinations had mostly stopped, he regained his balance and tried to go after Daphne, almost tripping over his own feet every few steps as he ran. He'd partly only chased her because he noticed someone watching them whilst holding a sheet of paper and on the phone to who Finn could only assume was the police, and he guessed the girl was about as fond of them as he was, which is not at all.

She's got her Hood up and slips in between people. Heading towards what looks like.... the lotus casino? Thats... why would she be seeking that out. Whatever the reason the cops won't find her at least

shes already inside. She lost the jacket and gained a new one trying to look different so she can't be spotted, she makes her way to the food court first

He sighed, reconsidering following her, he had been warned about lotus before. He pulled a pen out one of his pockets and wrote on his hand 'Find the kid and LEAVE', hopefully he would understand that when inside. He walked through the door, no turning back now...

shes grabbing an armful of snacks and then disappearing up the stairs, her powers seem to be more neutralized here, which means no strong sense of dread or misery is being emitted out

"why do people keep throwing that word at me, no I'm not whatever that is I'm normal, stop following me" sk she is one, she just doesn't know for real and doesn't accept it

“Sorry, just this maybe isn’t the best place to stay. With all the lotuses, you can lose yourself. I, uh, didn’t mean to upset you. Sorry.” he turned to leave, really hoping that those hallucinations earlier were a one off thing and assuming they were from this girl.

"I'm not affected I guess, but this is my only place to stay, I have no other options where I won't be found. I will not take my chances on that"

"I guess that's.. true"

"no one bothers me here, the last person to throw that weird demi whatever word in my face literally tried to take a bite of me, sk I don't take my chances after that"

"Demigod. Oh, that's not good. That'll have been a monster, they seem to like to taste of heroes for some reason. Luckily I am vegetarian, not planning on attacking ya and nor am I from Tartarus, so yeah."

"well, slightly reassuring I suppose, yeah I know I'm adorable but like, she tried to literally take a whole bite, I'd like to stay in one piece preferably"

He turned back to face her, "I'm guessing it was an Empousi then. I got set on fire by one a while ago because I just yelled 'I'm gay' when she tried to flirt with me. It's kinda funny now I think back on it though. My name's Finn, you?"

"that's, yeah that's pretty funny, probably wouldn't have worked for me though. Uh, Daphne, your not gonna... Turn me in are you?"

"Oh gods no. I wouldn't do that, and even if I wanted to, which I don't, it would involve turning myself in and I really don't want that, nor for that to happen to you."

"oh your the other kid on the missing posters then? I think I saw yours ripping some of mines down the other day"

She sits as well "no, not really, that girl called me that when she tried to ya know, take a chunk out of my neck, and then I started... Whatever I'm doing that's hurting people. And I've been running since."

"Means half mortal, half god." he considered what to say, "Is that what happened back there? The hallucinations, I mean." he retied his shoe laces while speaking.

"I don't know. Whenever I touch people that happens, I don't know what's happening I just know it's not like... good"

"I think you just can't control your powers yet, I used to accidentally kill plants by walking near them, among other things. Shit, that came out wrong, I didn't kill people just... borrowed? Some of their strength I guess."

"well, I guess I'm glad to know I'm not that much of a freak if nature and a terrible person, makes it feel a little better"

"don't touch me" she says panicked, stumbling backwards, almost falling. Just being around here a sense of dread settles in Judas. A feeling of dread like he's never experienced before. It's suffocating. Her dark eyes are wide with panic as she looks everywhere but his eyes. Everytime she makes eye contact something bad happens. She doesn't even know how she got here, she just wanted to find a nice ditch to sit in for a while. Instead she stumbled upon a... Summer camp? What the hell is happening. Where is she?

"no, no, nononono get away from me." She tries to scramble backwards but jt aggravates her injures and she winces and yelps. Stilling she's looking at the sky. Won't look at him. The more panicked she gets the bigger and more powerful that sense of dread gets, it feels like it's crawling up Judas spine. Almost like a chilly spider. It seems to be connected to... Her. The her who promptly pukes up her stomach contents, which is mostly water, from using so much power, the power she cannot even attempt to control because she doesn't know she's doing it

She hesitates, but decides her situation can't exactly get worse, and shes definitely taken much more suspicious things from her so called friends without a second thought. She doesn't know how much exactly to take, but their in little squares so, a single one seems reasonable. She wrinkles her nose at the taste. It tastes almost like nothing, which isn't very enjoyable

"doing what" she snaps at him. Sure whatever he just gave her helped all her pain and stuff. But for what reason is he snapping at her. She's not doing anything but lying on the ground in pain. Which, that's when the next problem comes up. She does infact pass out from over exertion. Ambrosia can heal the pain but can't really help with her power usage and fatigue. Her head bits the ground and the feeling of dread vanishes. Gone as quick as it came as she slips into the darkness. Weird. Her veins look almost black to. She looks very ill, like with something he's never seen.

She's light, a little to light. Which, now she's in his arms and closer. Isn't too surprising as he can see the outline of most her bones and veins. That cannot be healthy in the slightest. The ambrosia is starting to fade the bruises, it mended her ribs and closed the gash, now just the blood staining her pale skin is left. There's no sense of dread now, but, it feels as if something is leeching all the negative feelings from him instead as he carries her

as soon as he puts her down the negative feelings stop draining from him and rush back in all at once, but... There seems to be less. Like she fully absorbed some of the misery from it. Like a leech almost. Very weird indeed. The Apollo kid that comes to check her out doesn't seem to affected. Yet of course they have to deal with her when she wakes again, which might cause more problems

she stirs an hour later, it's obvious as the feeling of dread slowly starts to build again. Which, is clearly connected to her. Powers of sorts perhaps? And obviously she can't control them based off how frightened she was early. Which makes a reappearance as she wakes. Jolting awake and up. Panicked, eyes wide. Accidentally locking eyes with an Apollo kid, her eyes gloss over a black, so do his, she looks away immediately but it's to late, he's hallucinating losing someone closest to him now. the real world silenced as he goes through it. She hasn't even seen Judas was still here. She's trying to find the way out before anyone else gets involved.

she stumbles out of the bed, Apollo kids flock to their brother who's currently twitching slightly muttering and.. crying? Whatever he's seeing must be bad. She books it out the door, after the ambrosia and forced rest, she's feeling good enough to run. Hide. Protect herself and others from well ... Herself

shes running, she can't find her way back to the border, so she runs through camp, the feeling of dread wide spread over the whole camp, affecting everyone as she tears through heading for the woods, anyone unfortunate enough to meet her eyes on accident or bump into her even in the slightest start to hallucinate, just like the Apollo canper. Well that might be why she didn't want to be touched

she either can't hear him, or doesn't care. She keeps going full speed ahead for the woods. Someone else notices tho, and hears Judas trying to warn her, sees her not listen, so he tackles her. And is met with the hallucinations, but, she's been stopped from the woods at least, she scrambled bavk, her back hits a cabin, she looks like a scared animal almost

she doesn't look up, no she keeps her eyes shut and on the ground, but her head tilts to her ear is closer to him, to listen. She freezes. That answers one question, where she is. Well sort of. She recognizes that address. It was in some weird dream she had weeks ago, some depressed lady told her to come here. Well, she still ended up here albeit accidentally. No cops, that's good, can't be turned in to her father. Other than being tackled she's been mostly safe. But being arkund this many people is terrifying, especially with her uncontrollable powers, which many campers just learned first hand

"You can say yes. I won't take particular joy in assuming your intent, and I need to make sure that you're...sound of mind, to put it bluntly." Judas raises his eyebrows and waits, lowering himself onto the grass with crossed legs in the meantime.

"wh-what is this place exactly?" Her voice is shaky, scratchy like it hasn't been used in a while, she's less terrified but still nervous, she doesn't know these people. And the feeling of dread is still rolling off her in waves. It's so bad one kid throws up

she nods like trying to take it in. Safe, right that's what the weird lady from her dream said, what did she say her name was Oi something, it was a rather funny name. "Uh, someone named Oizys sent me? Who is that?" She asks quietly, she has no idea, she barely knows what a demigod is. She's still trying to understand that let alone the weird lady that's been haunting her dreams

"there's... So much sadness here" ah, well, another thing over loading her. She can feel everyone's misery, pain, all of it. All at once. Crushing her like a weight, which probably doesn't help with controlling her powers. Which, considering the ice cold dread everyone feels she isn't doing that very well

"Daphne, my name is Daphne." Suddenly there's a switch, from the dread pushing out, it starts pulling in, the feeling she pushes out. Gone. Then the negative feelings start draining from every camper. "Please don't take me back" back? Probably means back to her dad

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Daphne. And rest assured, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about." Judas spread his hands out; it was true, he didn't particularly remember. He found it rather easy to fixate on small details sometimes, but overall, his memory was rather poor when it came to a surprising amount of things. "I can't take you back if I don't know what you're talking about, so that is not going to be happening, alright?"

"right, right, yeah, that makes sense. So it really is safe here? Why? .... How?"

she flinches hard, moving away from the touch in a panic, it seems the touch was just small enough it didn't trigger any of her powers, but since she can't control them she panics all the same. The feeling and sense of dread and misery is strong in the air around her. Like it's radiating off of her and pushing into the people around her causing them to feel it to. "Don't touch me, what... Im not whatever you just said. Mortal..?? I'm sorry are you not?"

she stumbles backwards like a frightened animal, desperately trying to avoid eye contact while putting space between them. "No stop! Don't come any closer!" Her voice sounds panicked, upon looking closer her arm is stained with blood from where she's holding her sidez she's all skin and bones, he can see her veins to through her pale skin. And the most oppressing feeling of dread settles over raven the closer he gets to her

shes shaking be realizes, shes terrified one. And she's still avoiding eye contact desperately, weird. She scrambled back a bit more so he can't even accidentally touch her. But can still hear him. "Talk? Why"

"Because you're clearly hurt, and it'd be pretty messed up to notice that and just leave you here anyway. Plus, camp has like, a ton of resources to help you, and I'd assume if you've already crossed the border then you're supposed to be here anyway." As he spoke, he rested his head in his hands.

"no, nono can't touch me, nobody can touch me" she starts panicking again, which causes the feeling of dread to heighten, joined by the misery, not very fun. But it's clearly because of her. And she doesn't seem to be able to control it. "I can't, I can't be around people"

"You don't have to be around people, and nobody's gonna touch you without permission." He explained, not moving from his spot. "This place is safe, nobody's gonna hurt you, especially when you're in this condition."

"promise?" Her voice shakes, like she's going against every instinct in her body to trust him, but she tries and that's progress, the feelings she's pushing out start to waiver slightly but she still can't control it

"Yes, I promise. Camp Half-Blood is literally a safe space for demigods, I'm sure it'll be better here than wherever you came from."

"I don't want to keep hurting people" she says softly. Clearly more terrified of herself than anything else in that moment

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Raven asked, lowering his voice just a bit. He really didn't want to startle her any more, he was just curious, and more than a bit concerned.

"I... I don't know. Bad things keep following me. And I.. I think it's me" she looks at her own hands like she hates it, hates herself for causing whatever this is even if she doesn't understand it

"huh .. what kind of bad things? Like, monsters maybe?" He thought this could totally be a situation of a demigod being claimed, and being attacked by monsters, but you never know what's with demigods at this point.

"when, whenever I touch people they see bad things, like they, they twitch, and say things that uh, that sounds like they see someone dying, and, and it's my fault."

Raven thought for a minute. "I mean, are you trying to do that to people, or is it accidental?" He had quite a bit of doubt that someone would intentionally do that, especially considering how she was reacting to it.

"no, no I don't want to do that, I don't know how, or, or why it's happening I... Am I monster just like they said?"

"and... And you promise no one will touch me? Or like, try to take a bite out of me" (if ykyk) "I... I don't want to hurt anyone I swear"

"If we have to, we can just tell everyone about the situation. Like the people working at the infirmary will probably need to know, and maybe Chiron too. It can be one of the first things we tell them, so that we can make sure nobody touches you. If they do anyway, it's on them."

"right, right" she slowly stands, she's shaking, now that she's calmer the adrenaline has worn off, and she's starting to very much feel the pain. She stumbles, the feeling seems to be affecting everyone else very much, but ... Not raven for some reason. Maybe because he helped calm her? He's like... Safe in a way

Raven noticed her struggles to walk. "Do you need some help? I can probably get like, a wheelchair from the information something."

"I... Maybe, but I.. I think I can walk?" She can't, she just doesn't want to be a bother but she is walking like it hurts and she's seconds away from eating dirt

"You sure? Because you look like you're having a bit of a hard time with that. It won't be any problem to get you help, if that's an issue."

she hesitates but she slowly nods "please, I... I haven't taken a break or anything in days. Been on the run for too long"

she nods, sitting greatful in the wheelchair, and basically chugging the water. When she speaks it's quiet "can you... Push the wheelchair?" She asks raven, he's been the only person not well scared of her or trying to hurt her so

"uh, well.... Some girl tried to take a literal bkte of me, and then I ran, and uh some weird thing with what looked like just one eye? Started chasing me at some point. When I lost them, something else started chasing me but I didn't get a good look at it. I fell a lot, got banged up"

"I guess? Everyone keeps throwing that word at me. Something about wouldn't be able tk cross some border if I wasn't but I dont know. The girl tbat tried tk take a good bite called me that"

"oh joy. So that means my mom didn't just abandon me? I guess? I don't know. My dad was real salty about her leaving after dumping me on him though."

"uh so far it's anytime I touch someone, or if I'm like, panicked and I look someone in the eyes they get what I'm assuming is a hallucination of sorts? I don't really know"

she takes it and eats it, she wrinkles her nose at the taste. It tastes.... Kind of like air. Like nothing. Weird "how's it interesting?"

"good to know, maybe my taste buds are broken or something, jt tasted like nothing, and was a weird texture, but uh, yeah sure don't eat much or bad things happen got it"

Will nodded. "How are you feeling now?"

"less like someone just ran me over and threw me into a lake of fire, so I'd say that's a good thing and your magic food worked"

she stumbles backwards like a frightened animal, desperately trying to avoid eye contact while putting space between them. "No stop! Don't come any closer!" Her voice sounds panicked, upon looking closer her arm is stained with blood from where she's holding her sidez she's all skin and bones, he can see her veins to through her pale skin. And the most oppressing feeling of dread settles over raven the closer he gets to her

shes shaking be realizes, shes terrified one. And she's still avoiding eye contact desperately, weird. She scrambled back a bit more so he can't even accidentally touch her. But can still hear him. "Talk? Why"

"Because you're clearly hurt, and it'd be pretty messed up to notice that and just leave you here anyway. Plus, camp has like, a ton of resources to help you, and I'd assume if you've already crossed the border then you're supposed to be here anyway." As he spoke, he rested his head in his hands.

"no, nono can't touch me, nobody can touch me" she starts panicking again, which causes the feeling of dread to heighten, joined by the misery, not very fun. But it's clearly because of her. And she doesn't seem to be able to control it. "I can't, I can't be around people"

"You don't have to be around people, and nobody's gonna touch you without permission." He explained, not moving from his spot. "This place is safe, nobody's gonna hurt you, especially when you're in this condition."

"promise?" Her voice shakes, like she's going against every instinct in her body to trust him, but she tries and that's progress, the feelings she's pushing out start to waiver slightly but she still can't control it

"Yes, I promise. Camp Half-Blood is literally a safe space for demigods, I'm sure it'll be better here than wherever you came from."

"I don't want to keep hurting people" she says softly. Clearly more terrified of herself than anything else in that moment

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Raven asked, lowering his voice just a bit. He really didn't want to startle her any more, he was just curious, and more than a bit concerned.

"I... I don't know. Bad things keep following me. And I.. I think it's me" she looks at her own hands like she hates it, hates herself for causing whatever this is even if she doesn't understand it

"huh .. what kind of bad things? Like, monsters maybe?" He thought this could totally be a situation of a demigod being claimed, and being attacked by monsters, but you never know what's with demigods at this point.

"when, whenever I touch people they see bad things, like they, they twitch, and say things that uh, that sounds like they see someone dying, and, and it's my fault."

Raven thought for a minute. "I mean, are you trying to do that to people, or is it accidental?" He had quite a bit of doubt that someone would intentionally do that, especially considering how she was reacting to it.

"no, no I don't want to do that, I don't know how, or, or why it's happening I... Am I monster just like they said?"

"and... And you promise no one will touch me? Or like, try to take a bite out of me" (if ykyk) "I... I don't want to hurt anyone I swear"

"If we have to, we can just tell everyone about the situation. Like the people working at the infirmary will probably need to know, and maybe Chiron too. It can be one of the first things we tell them, so that we can make sure nobody touches you. If they do anyway, it's on them."

"right, right" she slowly stands, she's shaking, now that she's calmer the adrenaline has worn off, and she's starting to very much feel the pain. She stumbles, the feeling seems to be affecting everyone else very much, but ... Not raven for some reason. Maybe because he helped calm her? He's like... Safe in a way

Raven noticed her struggles to walk. "Do you need some help? I can probably get like, a wheelchair from the information something."

"I... Maybe, but I.. I think I can walk?" She can't, she just doesn't want to be a bother but she is walking like it hurts and she's seconds away from eating dirt

"You sure? Because you look like you're having a bit of a hard time with that. It won't be any problem to get you help, if that's an issue."

she hesitates but she slowly nods "please, I... I haven't taken a break or anything in days. Been on the run for too long"

she nods, sitting greatful in the wheelchair, and basically chugging the water. When she speaks it's quiet "can you... Push the wheelchair?" She asks raven, he's been the only person not well scared of her or trying to hurt her so

"uh, well.... Some girl tried to take a literal bkte of me, and then I ran, and uh some weird thing with what looked like just one eye? Started chasing me at some point. When I lost them, something else started chasing me but I didn't get a good look at it. I fell a lot, got banged up"
