Well I owe you guys an explanation. I'm happy to report I'm back with a new chapter (YAY!!) The reason I was gone so long... My computer crashed. Yep, lost everything. Good news is while I was computerless I took and completed a creative writing class so hopefully I've improved for you all. And before we get to the story I just want to thank everyone who has continued to check for updates over the past nearly two months. This one's for you, I only wish it were longer, and I'm sure you do as well.

**************

“I told you to keep your stuff on that side of the cabin,” Pollux glared at me as he came into our cabin.

It had been a month since everything had happened and, for the most part, things had settled down. Sure, for the first week every one was whispering behind my back or avoided me. In some cases, people even throw things at me as they called me a freak or a homo. These people seemed to have a nasty habit of turning into field mice for some reason. As bad as all that had been after a week or so most people went back to their usual activities.

“Sorry,” I mumbled as I bent down to pick up the sock that had fallen over the imaginary line that divided our cabin. Living with Pollux had been challenging at first but after a while I got used to his backhanded comments and cold demeanor. Don't get me wrong, it was still unnerving as Hades when I would woke up in the middle of the night and he would sit there and just glare at me through the darkness. That was, really creepy, but he hadn't tried to punch me since he talked to his dad. It was amazing how, with one look this guy could make a sweltering summer day feel down right frigid.

Dionysus had kept his distance ever since the 'indecent', which wouldn't have bothered me if not for the fact that the second I stepped outside I would get the felling that he was watching me. Maybe I was just being paranoid because I never saw him around unless it was at meals. Still, the feeling was always there.

After throwing my sock into a pill of dirty clothes into the corner of the room, I turned and walked out of the cabin and into the 103 degree July air, thank you global warming. It was about eight in the evening so I had about a half hour left before the sun set. As soon as my feet crossed the thresh hold the feeling started to creep up my spine again.

I thought that after a month I'd have gotten used to the feeling of being watched or maybe the he would stop. But as the days went by and the feeling persisted it just became more and more annoying. Add that on top of everything else, and I'd had just about as much of it as I could take. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe I was exhausted after so many nights of being kept up by my psycho roommate. What ever the reason, I was going to put an end to this nightmarish summer once and for all.

Campers were starting to gather around the campfire as I marched by. It must have been the look on my face or perhaps I was exuding an aura of anger, either way they quickly moved aside to let me pass. This pattern continued all the way up to the big house. My hand was shaking a little as I wrenched open the door. This would be the first time I talked to Dionysus since that night, but I couldn't let my fear stop me. I was pissed, tired, hot, sweaty, and had been humiliated everyday since the moment I'd set foot within the boundaries of camp this summer. I'd had it. I pushed open the door and made my way into the empty front room of the house.

“Dionysus!” I shouted my voice echoed back to me. “Get out here where I can see you!”

“How rude. Is that any way to address a god?”

I turned around to see him standing about four feet behind me. I clenched my fists and narrowed my eyes. I came here for a reason and I couldn't let him know how scared I felt just looking at him.

“Stop it.”

“I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific,” Dionysus sighed. “Or am I just supposed to guess what it is you are referring to?”

“You know what I'm referring to. Stop following me around and watching me all the time! I have enough to deal with as it is thanks to you, I don't need you stocking me, too.”

“Watch your tone, Jackson,” he said dangerously as his eyes narrowed. “While you are at this camp you are in my care. If I feel I need to keep an eye on you I will. That is, after all, the whole reason the counsel put me in this mess. So, now, I have to make sure you're not about to run off and do something stupid. The last thing I need is to be blamed for you ending up in the infirmary due to your own idiocy.”

“Right, cause you've been doing such a good job up till now,” I said sarcasticly. “I can't think of a single time I've been hurt while you were around.”

A flicker of a cringe crossed his features but it was gone as soon as it had appeared. His face returned to a slightly reddened scowl as we both tried to stare down the other. Finally I decided to break the silence.

“I want to go home.”

“No.” I was clenching my fists so tightly now the knuckles were turning white.

“Yes,” I countered through gritted teeth. “I don't want to be here any more. I want to see my mom and step dad. One way or another I'm leaving tonight.”

“You would dare to defy me?” Dionysus took a step closer to me. His eyes zeroed in on my face as the sent of grapes filled the air. I was almost as scared as I'd been the night of the 'incident' but I had to get through this. I couldn't stay at camp any longer and expect to maintain my sanity.

“Yes I would,” I said as I drew in a deep breath and stuck my chest out a little more. “Why? What are you gonna do to stop me, huh? Tie me up? Drag me through camp? Oh, I know, maybe you'll, what was it, tether me to a post just beyond the border of camp, and summon every monster in the tri-state area. Is that what--”

“Enough!” His voice boomed throughout the house with such force that the house shook. I lost my footing and fell back on to the hard wood floor. My mouth instantly closed as fear cut through me. I felt the blood rush from my face as my eyes widened. If I had gone to far, would he hurt me again? He had seemed apologetic before about what had happened, but if he lost his temper would he be able to control himself?

His eyes burned purple as he looked down into my scared green ones. We stayed like that of what felt like hours as he looked down at me in seething rage. Then the grape smell dissipated and Dionysus let out a sigh as he rubbed hi forehead.

“Fine,” he said turning away from me.

“What?”

“I said 'fine'. You can go home in the morning if that's what you want. Argus will take you back to your mother.”

I couldn't believe it. He was letting me go. Just like that? I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding and for the first time all summer I felt relieved.

Dionysus turned away from me and started towards the door. He paused a moment and turned enough to look back at me on the floor. He opened his mouth as if to say something. I sucked in a breath of air and waited for what ever he was going to say to ruin my moment of triumph. His eyes locked with mine as he closed his mouth. He turned back to the door and made his way out into the night air, leaving me on the floor wondering what had just happened.

Alright there you go. I've also been thinking about posting this story on fanfiction.net (one chapter a week till it's caught up with these postings) or maybe I'll wait till I've completed it here first and then post it over there. If you have any thoughts let me know.
Keep commenting, I've missed you guys.
~Bye
