Thorne smiled as she walked along the pathway of camp, heading back to her cabin after a good day of training and gardening in the strawberry fields. She was happy, in a bittersweet way as she had to leave for Virginia for school, winter break was just about over and she couldn’t miss `class. Thorne took pride in her constant A grades, and couldn’t wait until she had to go to college, and pursue her lifelong ambition to become a botanical scientist. Only a few more years and she would be off to one of the handful of universities that she had envisioned herself attending.
She had returned from New York yesterday, where she had gone shopping with her new friend Fenella, who has since vanished as mysteriously as she had arrived. She had gotten several articles of clothing, and then also a few necklaces, which were all in her chest at her bunk in the Demeter cabin. Right now as she approached the cabin courtyards she was dressed casually or well in her daily clothing. It consisted of the regular orange camp half blood shirt and then she also wore some gray sweatpants, not as comfortable as her jeans but they did allow for a lot more movement in combat training. She wasn’t wearing any necklaces today though; several hours of combat training had made her consider the possibilities of damaging the gemstones. She did however; wear two necklaces on her left wrist, one of smooth driftwood and the other of a silver mixture, with tiny bits of amethyst imbedded within the metal. Her red hair was done in a single braid down her back, some of the dark red strands dangling in front of her face, and her green eyes. Her pale face showed a small bruise on her cheek, a reward from a child of Ares for making it through the training.
Her garden shears were slipped into her pocket, the deadly weapons in the collapsed form, she had to clean those though…after an accident in the sparring match, where she had sent a camper to the infirmary on accident when she was trying to disarm the slightly older boy. That wasn’t the main thing on her mind though, she had found herself thinking of her closest half sister; Jana Kay, and her best friend; Cleo. She hadn’t been able to hang out with either in quite a long time, and wondered if maybe she would have a chance to before she had to take her sailboat and make her way back down the eastern seaboard to her home in Virginia beach.
The wind blew slightly across the camp, bringing with it the sweet smell of strawberries from the fields where her siblings and the nature spirits coaxed the plants to bloom and grow so the stingy camp director, Mr. D, could sell to restaurants in New York to pay for things at camp….like his SUV. Thorne didn’t get along with the immortal camp director, but then again not many of the campers did. She did however, enjoy the other major member of the camp staff; the centaur Chiron. She had yet to go to the wise man’s office again, and again give her suggestions to help improve several aspects of camp.
She made her way toward cabin #4, in between the Athena and the Hera cabins, respectively. The grass along the light brown cabins roof grew a bright green color, vibrant with the life of vegetation. Tomato vines were in full bloom across the walls of the cabin, and roses blossomed on the front porch. However, she paused for a moment and glanced to the skies, seeing a familiar shape swoop down towards her. It was her yellow crowned Amazon parrot, misty which flew down and landed upon her shoulder. She smiled at the bird and ran her hand across its feathers, smirking playfully as the lovely bird nuzzled her pale face.
