open starter — caught in a storm of memories
Lorelei hated thunderstorms.
But every once in awhile, one managed to make it into camp. They did not mind when storms were simply rain and greying skies. But every once in awhile.. they were booming and chaotic and worse.
They always make it to the Hypnos cabin with minutes to spare, always. What had they’d done wrong this time.
Cause this time: Lorelei was stuck with the pegasus. Huddled in the corner of an empty stall. Legs tucked close to their check, arms wrapped around them, and finger digging into the flesh of their upper arm.
Storms brought back memories, whirling forces with booming laughter and wild, unpredictable personalities.
Lorelei hated thunderstorms.
Now they were stuck here, listing to what they assumed were pegasus complaining about the storm and being locked in.. that or the blonde headed demigod now invading their space. Both seemed likely.
Rain pelted against the roof and the occasional boom and crackle of light were audible and visible from the openings in the stables. They tensed every time, yet remained unaware of the wet steaks clinging to cheeks and making their way down their face, dripping from their chin and dampening their sleeves.
They would choose to be anywhere but here, in this stupid, dusty, old pegasus stall. Yet, could not. All cause their focus slipped from their grasps and left trapped them in the stables while mentally being somewhere else. It was only a little thunder, lorelei? get your shit together.
This was utterly pathetic of for child of night. Born from the shadows of one who even Zeus fears.
Oh how Lorelei hated thunderstorms.
Especially how they made them feel pathetic.
