Vicky coughed violently, that battle had really done a number on her. "Jesus Christ, Leon..." She floated on her back, still bleeding but she didn't care, her blood tainted the water red until finally she fell out of consciousness still floating upon the lake.

(Leon)
I frowned with worry. "Aster, she's been gone for too long. I'm gonna look for her." Aster jumped up in surprise at my outburst. He had practically been falling asleep next to me, so his eyes were still half closed. "Y-yeah, I guess, it hasn't been too long, though. She should be-" A yawn erupted from his mouth, then he continued, "...okay." Sighing, I pulled him onto my back, and he smiled sleepily, patting my head affectionately. "We should go to the lake. She was going there before, right?" Nodding, I started heading that way. What he said did make sense, so I sped up, dread creeping up on me. 'I should apologise, I feel terrible...' I thought to myself as I reached the end of the path.

Dropping Aster on the floor, I ran over to the water, not bothering to take my shoes off.

(Aster)
"Ouch! Hey, that hurt, Leon!" I yelled, rubbing my butt, which I had unfortunately landed on. I held a grudge util I looked to where the loud splashing sound of Leon was and gasped, running over with him. Vicky lay in the water, her limp body threatening to topple into the water. Panic flashed in Leon's silver eyes. "Aster, help me, for goodness' sakes!" He yelled as he wrapped one of her arms over his shoulder. Ignoring his harsh tone, I grabbed her other arm and we carefully carried her ashore. Leon began to run his fingers through his ebony hair. "Oh c**p, Aster, what do we do!? What if she swallowed some water!? What if she needs medical attention!?" My face turned downwards and I walked towards her. Still frowning, I stared into her closed eyes, focusing all of my energy on her. I smiled with relief, and turned to Leon. "We have to take her to your cabin." Leon didn't argue and nodded, picking her up in a bridal fashion.

Once we got there, he lay her next to the open fire, making sure her head faced to the side so if she swallowed any water it would drain. "Hey Aster?" He asked me, and I tilted my head, unable to speak. "Can you run to the Aphrodite cabin and fetch her some new clothes? For when she wakes up. I doubt the fire will dry her thoroughly." I shrugged, getting up. "I'll try.." I mumbled uncertainly, heading for the door. Leon fell to his knees and held one of her hands, whispering something I couldn't quite hear.

Coughing out water, Vicky slowly opened her eyes, sitting up cautiously she looked around before a feeling pulled on her insides and a cough erupted from her mouth, it spread across the pillow. A small spray of blood, flipping the pillow immediately, she covered all evidence, thanking the Lord that Leon hadn't been paying attention, "Leon?" She asked hoarsely, a pain in her voice, "Why am I here?"

(Leon)
Waiting for Vicky to wake up, I yawned and settled my head next to hers. Soon enough I fell asleep.

(Aster)
I awkwardly walked up to the Aphrodite cabin, being greeted by a crowd of barely dressed girls giggling and waving. "Uhh...I'm here for clothes..." I awkwardly mumbled, trying to get past. A few girls blocked my way, smiling suggestively. "If you want clothes you can take mine..." One whispered and chills shot down my spine. Bad chills." Annoyed, I shook my head, weaving through the crowd. One girl grabbed my hand. "Hey, don't ignore us! Come swimming with me, I think you're cute!" Annoyed, I yelled, "I'M GAY!" And ran into the cabin, rushing into the first side room I saw, I swiped some clothes and hid under the bed, hoping I wouldn't be found by the boy hungry girls that prowled on the premesis.

Vicky continued to cough, hiding her mouth in her hand. She wiped the blood from her hand on a tissue she kept in her pocket and reached out her hand, to poke Leon's head. "Leon?" She whispered, "Wake up please." Her hand gently shook his shoulders "Please stop sleeping."

(Leon)
I slowly awoke, smiling sleepily. "Hm?" I asked no one in particular, and then I snapped back. "Vicky!" I yelled, wrapping my arms around her stomach into a hug. "Thank god you're awake! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" I yelled into her damp top.

Vicky widened her eyes, holding her arms out slightly infront of her, awkwardly wondering where to put her hands, she settled them by her side and asked "Why are you sorry? It's not your fault, I pushed myself, I shouldn't have done that with... It doesn't matter, are you okay? You were beat up pretty bad." She smirked, slightly proud of herself.

(Leon)
I smiled like a goof. "Yeah, you sure beat me up. Aster patched me up with his hoodie, see?" I showed her my arm where she had slashed at me earlier and I sighed. Aster's light grey hoodie was now stained with a deep crimson colour. "Looks like he won't want this back.." Remembering where he'd gone to, I continued, "Speaking of, I sent him to get you another pair of clothes, because yours were soaked...where is he...?" I asked myself. "Hey, why were you in the lake? You could have drowned, you know! You really worried me." I scolded.

"I'm fine... Just fine." Her eyes suddenly widened, "Wait! He's in the Aphrodite cabin?" She shot up and raced out of bed, "Oh s****, Oh s****! He's in trouble, come on!" I grabbed Leon's arm and tugged him towards the exit to the door.

(Leon)
I grabbed onto her for safety and ran with her. "What's wrong?" I asked, concerned for Aster's well being. He wasn't the strongest of string beans, after all.
