The Ones Who Stayed

[Arrow]

After the ones going on the quest left, chaos ensued at Camp Half-Blood. The Hecate cabin was working overtime to keep the Mist going around the Camp for many days, but then there was an attack in the middle of the night. No one saw it, and the Hecate cabin could only describe a grey-ish shape coming towards them, too fast to stop.. The majority of the Hecate cabin is now badly wounded, and there have been daily monster attacks. Once, the mortal news came by and was dangerously close to discovering the truth before the Party Ponies chased them off. Ever since, most of the camp has been in hiding in Bunker Nine, some of them in the underground passageways (Hazel's homemade, none-dangerous version of the Labyrinth). They have been in close contact with the roman Camp via the passages... it takes about thirty minutes to get to the Roman Camp's hideout, because they were swamped by mortals. With the help of both of their camps and a good deal of magic, they managed to either make the earth swallow their camps, or their camps sink into the ground, and now they all live underground with their camps fairly undamaged. However, an evil grey mist has settled on both of the camps, and some of the campers are rebelling. Whoever their enemy is, they are attacking the camp from the inside... campers, huntresses, everyone. This is the Roleplay of the Ones Who stayed.

From Bunker Nine came a clang! clang! Like someone working with metal. Inside, the entirety on the Hephaestus cabin was inside, working on various projects. They were all talking and laughing together. Well... All except for a black-haired thirteen-year-old, claimed the day of the first attack. She was considered a failure, since all of her projects and designs doesn't work or went haywire. Few people ever talked to her.

Well, Leo talked to her. He was the only one who seemed to get her. He was like a big brother to the outcast... A big brother with an adorable metal dragon. Most of the Hephaestus cabin still disliked the dragon who almost killed everyone and spilled oil out of his left ear, but Jessica adored Festus almost as much as Leo did. Also, she and Calypso had become friends straight away, which was always a plus. Anyway, today, Jessie was also making a clang! clang! With a suspicious-looking piece of metal... An automaton. Those who paid attention to Jessie would have noticed a dark light in her eyes, but Leo and Calypso were off fighting monsters and whatnot. However, Jessie stepped back confidently.

Jessie, daughter of Hephaestus, was done with her new project.

She pushed a few buttons, and the automaton woman stepped off the pedestal. Jessie resisted the urge to shout in happiness. This was her dream come true! She made something that worked! However, she somehow regained her composure. "Hello... Ermm... Susan. I am Jessica, also called Jessie, daughter of Hephaestus. You are my best friend along with Leo and Calypso, and together we will build things to last until the end of time!" To her delight, Susan smiled, her Imperial Gold eyes blinking. "Of course, Jessie. We will be awesome!"

Her voice was monotonous. Jessie tilted her head and connected a few loose wires on the back of her neck, rescrewing the panel and stepping back around.

As if on rewind, Susan blinked. "Of course, Jessie! We will be awesome!" Now her voice sounded like a regular teenagers. "You are an automaton, Susan." Jessie reminded her. "Right, of course." Susan smiled.

Jessie cracked her knuckles. Susan did likewise. "Now, let's build something to last through the ages."

Luna sighed. Watching the camp from her favorite tree near the camp border. Sam had gone off on a quest with some of the other kids, including Mira. Sure, she had the other Huntresses, but they had never stayed in camp for this long. They were used to traveling around the States, sometimes even to Canada and Mexico, and sleeping outdoors, under the moon and stars. But with the Mist fading, they needed to stay in camp, for their own protection. Luna missed her brother and Mira, who was like a little sister to her. "Mom, please keep Sam and Mira safe. Please. I can't lose anyone else." She whispered to herself. "Please."

"Sup!" Greeted Jessie. Her automaton, Susan, was off working on something, and she was free to walk about when she had noticed the huntress in the tree.

[Luna [Misty]]

Luna looked up. "Hi." she said quietly. Judging by how dirty she was, Luna guessed the girl was from the Hephaestus cabin. "Why are you all the way out here? Safety is back that way." she pointed towards the camp.

[Arrow]

"Because I want flesh and blood to talk to." The girl returned. "And safety is nowhere, not anymore."

[Luna [Misty]]

"True." She jumped and grabbed a branch, swinging herself forward and jumping again, landing on her feet on the ground. "The name's Luna. I'm a huntress. And you?"

[Arrow]

"I'm Jessie." She introduced herself. "Daughter of Hephaestus."

[Luna [Misty]]

"Nice to meet you." she said blankly. "So why are you all the way out here?"
