End or no end

Elliot pouted, "Well, that's no fun," She teased. She started to run her hands through her hair when she felt Jacob's lips against her neck. She jumped a little, not having expect it but smiled. She tilted her head slightly, keeping most the suds off of the part of her neck as well as exposing it entirely to him. She lean back into him more. She kept her eyes closed and enjoyed the feeling of the water beating against them as he kissed her neck. She let the water rinse her hands as she ran to wash the shampoo out. She missed this.

Chaos

Ophelia reached the boys as two of them left. She then walked over to her arrows and grabbed them while the one that had stuck around spoke. She took his hand as she placed the arrows back in her quiver over her shoulder. She nodded, "No problem. Ophelia Alto."

She released his hand and adjusted her bow before throwing a thumb toward the camp, "We should probably get in before there are any more unwanted visitors."

She gave a nod without an answer and started to walk back up the hill to the camp. She stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked at the guy she was walking with, "So... Why are you guys here?"

End or no end

Elliot sighed and ran her hand through her wet hair, "I know... I'm sure you are going to make it perfect."

She took his arms and wrapped them around her. A moment later, she spun in them, so that she back pressed again his chest. She smiled and ran her hands along his arms. She reached out and grabbed the shampoo bottle. Squirting the shampoo into her hand, she rose her hands to her head and started to rub it in. She closed her eyes as she did, happy to be there with Jacob. She laughed, "So... If you call me Ellie... Do I get to call you Jake?"

Chaos

Ophelia focused on the Cyclops as he was the bigger, literally, threat. She watched as one of the fighters took down the minotaur before turning back to Cyclops. They were struggling though, unable to break the monster's defenses. She notched three arrows at once and took a deep breath before she sent them flying into the Cyclops eye. As he roared, one of the Romans took advantage and turned the monster to dust. She took a deep breath and leaned back against the tree trunk. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, not wanting it to get trapped on any branches, and pulled her bow over herself before she climbed back down the tree.

When she reached the bottom walked over to where the monsters had been to retrieve her arrows.

End or no end

Elliot smiled again, she still felt horrible. She had barely gotten any sleep and her hands still had a tremor but with Jacob none of that really mattered. He didn't care about how bad she looked with red eyes and dark circles and if he did... Well, she'd give him a black eye. He always had a soothing nature to him, always there to comfort her. She kissed him again, "I can't wait till you propose," she giggled a little and removed the last of her clothing, stepping into the shower.

Chaos

Ophelia rose her bow and positioned her arrow. She aimed and was about to release it when Demetri jumped to the spot next to her, causing her to jump. Her hand released the string, sending the arrow flying, it thunked against the target and she groaned, "For God's sake, Demetri! You ruined my shot."

Demetri gave her a quizzical look as he looked at the shot that was just off dead centre, "Don't beat yourself up too hard? Anyways, Romans were spotted running toward the camp. No formation and monsters chasing them."

Ophelia's eyes widened before she sprinted to the entrance and the tree that stood next to in. Without even thinking, she climbed into it, confusing Demetri slightly as he started to help with any injured. Sitting on a branch, Ophelia quickly pulled another arrow from her quivered and notched it. She didn't have much time to aim, good thing that she rarely missed. Pulling the arrow back, she sent it flying. Before it even hit the target, she had another following.

End or no end

Elliot sat back as he undressed for the shower. She smiled again when he took her hand. She couldn't imagine how she became so lucky to end up standing there with him. Jacob was handsome, smart, brave, and just... the entire package and she didn't know how he came to love her. But she loved that he did. She noticed him looking at her quizzically and laughed, "Sorry. I was just... thinking."

She peeled off her shirt and jeans felt in her underwear. She looked at him and wrapped her arms around him, "I'm so very lucky to have you."

End or no end

Elliot gasped a little when Jacob picked her up again. She didn't know why she was so surprised. It was very Jacob-esque to so that. This was surely not the first time he had done it. She had imagined him carrying her before, when she was younger when he was not her boyfriend... or she supposed her fiancé... They were engaged to be engaged after all. She laughed a little and leaned into Jacob's chest. Being carried by him was better than any of her silly imaginings. He was warm and strong and there were so many things about being carried by him that her young mind could even take into account, like hearing his heart beat, smelling his musk. She looked up at him and smiled, "I'm sure I did. But this is more fun."

End or no end

Elliot threw her head back and whined, "But you smeeeeell."

She looked at him and laughed a little again. There were still tears in her eyes and her hands still shook but she was trying to make light of it. Trying to make it seem, make herself seem, better than it was. She took his hand in her's, before looking up at him, "We.... don't have to let go of each other to shower..."

She rested her head against his chest, he was right. She really didn't want to let go of him. She felt like if she did, she'd fall apart, like he was the last string holding her together.

End or no end

Elliot was gasping, trying to take deep breaths, trying to calm down. It wasn't working though. She curled up in Jacob's lap and buried her face in his chest. When she managed to calm down slightly, she whispered, "I... r-remember what they... did....." She closed her eyes tightly. She never once thought that those monsters were merciful... But the fact that they took those memories away to other than allowing her to cower in fear of them.

She looked at Jacob, she was even more thankful for the fact that she managed to get him out of there. She never wanted him or anyone else to have to endure that. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply, "I love you..."

She returned her head to his chest for the first time since she had found her, she noticed the smell of sweat on them. She tried to laugh a little, "I think we both could use a shower..."
