"I..." He was going to retaliate, but decided against it... He didn't want to poke the bear... He really was lost, and he didn't know what to do... Theo's lip trembled, but he refused to shed any tears. After all, he did think he was a hero... He sighed, and, turned in for bed, wrapping himself in a warm blanket, but somehow feeling worse than sitting in the cold train car... He eventually drifted off...
After Maroe had fallen asleep, she had another dream...
Maroe was overlooking a baseball field surrounded by wooded hills, and various buildings hidden behind the trees. On the field, there was a game going on. A player was on each plate, and another batter stepped up. It was... Theo. A more attractive version of Theo anyways. He didn't look exhausted and frightened like he usually did, and he had more muscle than he does in real life. A lot more. (After Maroe was done staring,) He stepped up to the plate, holding his bat up, ready to swing. The pitcher smirked, lighting the ball ablaze, and threw the flaming baseball at Theo.
He struck the ball with ease, sending it flying out , earning him a home run, and four points for his team. A whistle could be heard whistling, signifying the end of the game, which Simon's team had won. There were crowds of teens on a set of bleachers watching the game, and they were all cheering, chanting Theo's name. He smiled, and watched a girl run up to him on the field... It was a girl... She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, and a blue T-shirt that read "Camp Kennedy" She had stunning dark hair, which she had brushed off to one side, and alluring green eyes, her cherry red lips breaking into a grin as she slung her arms around his shoulder, kissing him. He kissed back, and they whispered some inaudible things to each other, Maroe couldn't hear no matter what...

The scene faded out, and a new one faded in. It was a low, brown cabin, with sea shells carved into the walls. There was a small, miniature fountain at the head of the room, and the walls were lined with bunks and chests. At the opposite end as the fountain, was a small door, which opened to reveal Theo and the girl walk in...
"Great job out there, superstar..." The girl cooed, walking over to the fountain, and manipulating the water so droplets floated in the air.
"It's because you were cheering for me, Jaina." He laughed, leaning against the wall, watching her play with the water.
"Oh pshaw. You were doing all of the work. And I go by Jackie now, you know that." She giggled, looking at him, more droplets rose from the fountain, floating around the room.
"I don't understand why you don't like the name Jaina. It's beautiful." Theo mentioned, looking at his fingernails.
"I'm not an old lady. I want a normal name..." She said gliding over to him. She pushed him against the wall, kissing his lips...
"Anyways... There's a lot of unused beds since it's just you and I... Why don't we roll around in one of them?" She whispered to him, kissing his face gingerly, leaving marks from her lipstick.
"Jaina... We've talked about this. We could be half siblings... we can't do this..." He muttered as she pushed him onto the nearest bed.
"All the other campers already think we've done it, and I've seen some of the stuff you've done, plus Poseidon never claimed you. We just saw you manipulate water. You can't be the son of Poseidon... I know you're something else, and I think you know it, too."
" I can't say for sure... I can't seem to remember anything. It's like I can't remember a single thing when I was young." He said softly, but Jaina was preoccupied with unzipping his pants, rubbing him sensually.
"We're still young, and so is the night... Just relax and let me do the work... and please... don't forget about me..." She said, passionately kissing the boy...
Maroe woke in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, before the scene could get any steamier... Theo was already fast asleep...
