Roy opened his eyes when he heard something looked over to see someone trip over someone else.

Skylar began apologizing when she felt someone watching her. She looked over and felt like she knew the watching guy

Roy looked at his watch and began to pick up his stuff.

Skylar walked home and pulled out old camp pictures

Justin drove up to Dawn's house. He knocked on the door.

Mikaela smiled. "Sure. I'll get the door." Mikaela opened the door and saw Justin. "Oh. Hey." She said.

"Hey." Justin said simply, hoping Dawn would recognize the voice.

Dawn goes to get the tea when she hears Justin's voice. But it couldn't be. Right? she walks over and sees him, "Justin?" she asks in surprise then gives him a hug, "What are you doing here?"

Roy returned home and began to make dinner.

Justin hugged Dawn back. "Zoey came here for a business trip and she had an extra ticket so I decided I'd come down here and surprise you." He said with a smile.

Mikaela smiled. "Aww." She said about the two. She then walked into the kitchen to get the tea and poured a glass for all 3 of them.

Dawn blushes a bit, and picks up her cup of tea, "That's sweet of you. " She says then takes a sip of tea, "So apparently Killian was arrested."

"Really? For what?" Justin asked.

"He tried to keep the demigod secret. And as it turned out the Judge could see though The Mist."

"Yikes. That's rough." Justin said. "Do you know how long?"

"It wasn't even a full day. Sierra's dad bailed him out. Cassie was sent to prison but she is only going to be there for a year. I'm terrified of what she is going to do." She says as her hands stat to shake after she remembers the time.

Justin takes Dawn's hands. "At least we have a year. We need to find a way to lock her up longer again though before someone else's life is lost. Because if I lost you, I don't know what I'd do." He said, smiling slightly.

Dawn shakes her head, "Its not when she gets out that I'm worried about. Its while she's in there. There have been reports of others who are joining her cause, and some of them are other demigods. They honestly believe that what she is doing is justified."

Justin sighed. "We can make it through this Dawn. You just have to believe in us."

Dawn frowns, "And then what? What happens when that isn't enough, and we are left to either die or work for her. I'm going to go the same way as Hannah. I'm going to go as someone who is controlled by her."

"Not if I have anything to say about it." Justin said. "I'll do all I can to keep you safe." He looked deeply into her eyes when he said that and he said it with conviction. He was resisting the urge to kiss her.

Dawn blushes a bit, "Well...um, so are you going to Sierra and Killian's wedding?'

"Yeah. I'm giving away Sierra since she doesn't have a family member to do it." Justin said. "Plus, it's a great friend and my half-brother. Of course I'd go."

Dawn smiles, "Think your brother Logan will go?" She asks curiously.

"He might. Him and Killan were friends. Maybe all 3 of us could fly back there." Justin said.

Dawn smiles and nods, "I would have loved to have a sibling. I loved my dad, but he was usually at work. "

Justin nodded. "Like, a blood relative?"

"Either. Adoptive or by blood. The people at camp don't count though. I'm talking an actual sibling that you grew up with that your parents sign the papers for and everything."
