veggies are needed! (open)

[Deleted]

"How can they think that only meat will be a good and healthy meal for a soldier!..."
Said a medium hight teen pushing a one wheel, wooden cart down the road, she just came from New Rome, so she had no weapon with her at the moment, but well, when you had the ability to make plants fight for you, then swords or daggers weren't really something you need that much to keep oneself safe. Still she felt kind of jumpy when she had to walk by some lonely places of the woods, but she acted as if nothing bad happened, she didn't want any enemy to notice about it.

She was walking bare foot as always, she hated boots or shoes. wearing jeans and a long sleeve purple camp shirt, it was a common attaire for a camper and also it kept almost all her skin away from others. It was something difficult to not touch others, but it wasn't difficult and after nine years of almost no contact at all, she was almost used to it. But there were many in camp that didn't know about the risks of touching her skin, so she decided to wear those kind of shirts.

She walked into the Mess Hall and looked around, "Where should I go to leave this vegetables?" The place was deserted, maybe everyone was in a training session. She looked at her watch and it was early for the next meal time, so she was safe of touching others even by a slight accident, which made her feel much safer. "Hello!!... I brought the vegetables that you guys ordered to the New rome's Greenhouse!!..." she said and walked around looking if she could see someone in there. "Hello!! is there anyone here? or should i comeback later!" sighs and shake her head.

A smile played upon the lips of the beautiful blonde as she stared at the storehouse in the back of the mess hall. It seemed like a very odd place for the individual to be at, but she was thinking. Perhaps affecting the apples with a bit of love to play a game. See who would be entranced with each other for the day. See, the goddess was bored and was trying to find a way to pass the time until Mars found an opening in today. No other male, or female for that matter suited her fancy today except for her war loving god.

Apples also held a special place in the goddess heart. After all, she was proclaimed the fairest with an apple. Granted, she also started a war after that, but it seemed to make Mars happy so there was even more perk to that. Venus thoughts were interrupted by a womans voice yelling throughout the hall. Venus widened her smile as she jumped from the counter she was sitting on and made her appearance known to the individual. Of course, Venus kept up the look that she seemed to be the same age of the campers, the only thing that might hint that she was a deity would be by how unhumanly beautiful she was. "I'm here! Sorry, I was in the back, where the store house is. I'm pretty sure you can drop off your load there." Venus said with a smile.

She studied the individual for a brief moment, trying to place her in the family tree. A smirk flashed. Ah, the poisoned daughter of Ceres, wasn't she? Of course, Venus couldn't remember the girls name, just her ill-fated luck. That fact stuck to Venus because the young girl then decided to cast aside any thought of relationship due to it, which annoyed the goddess of love. No one should ever cast aside the prospect of love and romance, especially not while they are at their youth with so much beauty coursing through them. Now should be the time for flings, for first kisses and romances. Not to be living alone and never facing the fantasy of another kiss upon their lips. Honestly, this Ceres descendant was suppose to be girl wasn't she? Girls held daydreams of finding their knight in shining armor, no matter what. This girl probably did too, but would never openly admit it.

Lexi was waiting for anyone that could tell her where to put the vegetables that she just took to tat place, she wanted the camp to have a better nutrition, they deserved it! She looked around and checked the tables, it was a nice place to eat, confortable and delightful. for sure it had good ilumination and it was something good too. But it lacked of some plants here and there. Later she would ask if she could place some plants here and there, it would be nice and bring some kind of freshness to the place, not only the walls and the wood.

Suddenly she heard a voice and looked around. and there she was, the most beautiful camper she had ever seen in her life. for sure she was a daughter of Venus, she must be, but Venus should have been really inspired when she give birth to that girl. "oh... I didn't know... my first time delivering stuff here" She smiled at the camper and for some reason felt... atracted to her, but she was totally straight, so... why? "I'm sorry... but I must tell that you are definetely the most beautiful camper I have ever seen!"

She finally said it and then looked at her vegetables, she grabbed the handles of the wagon and lifted it, she would take it to the correct place before she got into troubles. She have had enough troubles convincing Principia to let her bring the good quality, organic vegetables for next meals, to lose everything because of a wrong deliverance! sh started walking to where the beautiful camper was. "by the way, my name is Alexandra Rosethorn, Lexi for short." smiles at her.

In that moment lexi realized it wasn't really physical what she felt for that camper, it wasn't like that, she only made her feel inside her a lot of love, it was weird, but nice at the same time, some kind of mezmerizing feeling which she liked. "so you said it was in the back where I should put all this stuff, right?" she asked and continued walking to the back. "thank you for your help!" she smiled widely at her, it wasn't weird, she usually loved to smile widely, she felt that a good smile was like fertilizer for friendships and new people you met. She only hoped she could be friend to that girl.

Venus studied the red haired girl and couldn't help but smile at the comment. Well, of course she would be one of the most beautiful campers this girl had ever seen, well, take away the part about Venus not being a camper, though she did look like one at the current moment. "You are very kind. You're really pretty too!" That's what girls nowadays, right? They complimented each other? Venus hoped so in order to keep up her cover good. Which, Venus wasn't lying with the compliment either. However, the girl could probably do more with the hair, add some make-up to define her more striking features, and gods, someone give the girl a better wardrobe then the stupid stuff the Romans assigned all their legionnaires.

Alexandra Rosethorn, such a Ceres last name. Honestly, did Ceres find humor in that and purposely seek out the people who had vegetation for names? Venus always knew Ceres was odd, too much time under the sun most likely, at least it was obvious in that poor Goddess' complexion. Venus would never have her complexion suffer from too much sun like some of the other goddess' did. Honestly, couldn't they invest in some sunscreen or lotion at least? "It's nice to meet you Lexi." Venus said with a smile. She would introduce herself too but she couldn't think of a convincing name at the top of her head, plus, she had intentions to reveal herself to the girl soon enough.

Venus nodded. The back, well, she hoped so. "I hope so, I mean, it look liked that was where everything was being stored. I don't actually work here, I was just hanging out in the back." Venus said, hoping that she didn't get the little demigod in trouble. Unless she was playing with their relationships Venus tried not to play too much into the lives of demigods. She left that to the other minor gods who seemed to have nothing else to do with their lives.

Venus followed Lexi into the back room, where she was just at previously. "So, are you one of the people who grow the food? I always wondered who was behind it all. You must be a kid of Ceres, right?" Venus asked, pretending like she was oblivious to it all in order to make conversation with the girl.

When Lexi was a kid, he had heard many times how beautiful she was, the nymph that helped rising her used to say that she was as her last name determined, a beautiful Rose but with thorns. extremely beautiful, but with the toxines on her skin no one would be able to lay a finger on her without get hurt. So she was used to listen how beautiful she was, but almost three years ago in the Othrys war, she was fighting using her vaines and roots to hold back the enemy and kill them if necessary. But a traitor, son of Vulcan used his pyrokenisis and burnt her plants and her with them. A scar from her face to her hip on the left side and from hit to foot on the right side were the visible proofs that she had been there.

But ever since that happened, she had stopped thinking on herself as beautiful, and her toxines were stronger than ever, so... well no human touch for the rest of her life and usually people got scared with her scars, so she decided to spare them the awkward moment to be with her. But this girl... she called her pretty... Lexi didn't know if she should take it as a compliment or as a very bad and cruel joke. SHe stopped for a second and was going to say something harsh, but she didn't she just continued walking into the back room. "It is nice to meet you too... sorry I didn't get your name... oh! and thank you... but you really don't need to be so kind."

She said as she started unloading the vegetables and fruits into other baskets there. Then she looked at the girl who had followed her into the room. Usually she would tell her to go away in a polite way, that it wasn't good for her to be around her, but... she couldn't tell that to that girl, she just couldnt! she was so nice, gentle and beautiful! so she just smiled and nodded at her question about her godly parent. "yes, Lady Ceres is my mother." she said with a proud smile placing the vegetables as if they were diamonds. "this is my first delivery, but I really want to keep bringing good quality vegetables and fruits, it is important that legionaries have a good nutrition." then she blushed. "sorry I tend to get excited about plants and their products."

Venus studied the girl as she fumbled with the vegetables, putting them in places. She smirked slightly as she remembered the girl had sworn off any physical touch in fear of her poison coursing through her skin. Oh, and that ghastly burn the marred her skin. The young female sure has had a lot of bad luck when it came to skin. Ceres sure was an interesting mother to bless her daughter with that talent, then again, Venus had blessed one of her grandchildren with very good charm
speak which only resulted in the child feigning off speaking, which really irked the goddess beyond belief. She sighed, "Not being kind, merely honest. You know, being a red head is a very unique trait to have, most guys go crazy over it." Venus smirked, as she, again, did not introduce herself.

She let out a soft giggle. "That is very caring of you. Gods know the Romans eat way too much protein an hardly any vegetation. I suppose they're just trying to be more masculine like their patron Mars." Venus said, giving a soft smile at the name of her favored lover. Speaking of him, she put a mental note to meet up with him soon. She was starting to long for him, that needed to change, despite what his blasted mother thought. Longing for someone did not ever sit well with her, best to nip it in the butt as soon as possible. Anyways, time to move the topic of conversation to something that would interest her more.

"I bet the Romans are very grateful to you. You probably have a secret admirer admist them. Oh! How romantic that would be! One day you come in to help deliver the vegetables and you see the guy who has a crush on you in here working, he offers to help you with putting away the vegetables. It ends up turning into some joking as vegetables being tossed, one drops near you, you both scoop down to pick it up. Then, you both notice how close your heads are as you turn to look into each others eyes. Slowly the gap between you two closes as he leans in and kisses you on the lips as your cheeks blossom red with nervous feelings as you realize just how much you love this boy." Venus stops as she lets out a sigh, before looking at Lexi. "Unless of course, you already have guy you fancy." Venus teased in a high school gossip girl fashion.

Lexi looked at the girl when she said that about being unique only because she was a natural red haired girl, yes she could remember that was told and said by several people in her hometown and also in the camp when she recently got there, yet it wasn't that special, she had seen others like her, she was just a common girl with a poisonous skin, that was what made her unique, her inability to touch others. She stopped placing vegetables in their place, and took a stray of her hair, then she sighed and pulled it back with all her hair in a pony tail.

"Thank you, but I know I'm really common, like the rest of the camp." she said and then continued placing products in the right places so people didn't have to worry about the order or organization, only worry about cook and be healthy. well she knew that nymphs served there, but she also cared about the nymphs, they were so kind and sweet. She looked again at the girl and half smiled, well she was right most campers wanted to be like Mars, but they forgot that there were other several gods out there to look up to.

"aye, but I'm glad I can help at least this little bit. Proteins are great for muscles, but they would also need vitamins and minerals that only come in the vegetables and fruits, if they don't have those in their bodies, later they will consume themselves and we will end up having a weak army because of their bodies, not really because of their training." She said finishing with the organizing and then looked again at the girl. She smiled gently at her, and sat on one of the wooden tables that were back there. Then the girl started telling a fantastic novelistic idea about how a guy would for sure be her admirer.

Lexi smiled and then giggled at the idea, of an admirer. she shook her head and then looked at her when she asked if she had already someone in mind. "me?" she asked and then laughed even more, it wasn't a happy laugh but a sad frustrated laugh. it was kind of painful even when she never showed that to others, but it hurt to know that she would never be able to be in love like other girls, to have a boyfriend or the even hold hands with a friend without killing that person! "all what you say is so sweet and nice, but I don't think I have an admirer and no... I don't have someone in mind."

Venus rolled her eyes. This girl was no fun. Where was the teenage daydream of a girl hoping to one day find her prince and escape into the night within hos arms No, this girl was boring. A boring plain Jane with not so plain of hair color. How could she get this near minded girl to talk about potential relationships. It was this goddess favorite topic and for it to just kinda be ignored, well, it was annoying. Venus sighed, a long, semi-annoyed one. "That is very surprising though that you don't have some guy following you around, or you following him. You need to give yourself more credit. Your beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to have you. Why do you seem so against the idea?"

Yes, Venus had call the girl beautiful but she would like to point out, that while the girl may be beautiful she had nothing compared to the goddess of beauty herself, even if she was toned down a few notches so she could blend into the camp without being too noticeable. It was annoying too, to go about in this simple state. Heck, she had even heard one of her descendants, envious of Venus beauty, trying to cut her down. Well, that girl was going to wake up with some horrible teeth tomorrow. Probably the worst thing she could do. A majority of everything can be fixed over time by themselves, but teeth never repair themselves. If you have ugly teeth and you want to make them more appealing you have to pay a lot of money in order to do so. Venus didn't care of course, one thing you do not do to her is attempt to be more attractive than her. Plenty of myths showed the horrendous end that happened to girls who believed that. They were stupid and naive and had to be reminded of the wrath of the best woman.

Venus began to circle around the girl, looking for something. Sure, it might come off as weird. But Venus was just determining her body type, figuring out the best features she could use to appeal to a guy. After a few circles Venus stopped, pondering. ven with your skin.....condition. You'll end up with someone. Everyone always does, even if they do not think so." Venus said with a smirk playing upon her lips.

Lexi couldn't stop herself, she really couldn't and maybe if she had suspected that the one talking to her was the goddess of Love she would have knocked her out before laughing in her face! But the idea of someone falling for her in her mind was riddiculous, dangerous his death sentence! And falling for a guy would be bad too, she would end up breaking her own heart, by his denial and refusal ot by his death by her hand. in both ways would end up in a very bad way. She couldn't let herself to put the life of other on in such danger only because she wanted to feel the love of another human being.

Then her question to why she was against the idea of love. she stopped laughing and looked at the girl, then she breathed deeply and remembered her first day in camp, people got there to help her, she was a new kid in camp, she was all beaten up and weak from all her wat from Lupa's to camp. They only wanted to help her, to see if she was ok... but their kindness and good feelings were only paid with pain and death. The image of their faces were still carved in her mind. She could still remember them, their sweet words at her, their hands on her skin and then the screams, they backing off as if she was an evil creature, and then dying on the ground with the gim painful emotions in their faces.

She breathed deeply and then focused again on the girl in front of her. "well, when a simple touch of your skin can put the life of others on the edge of life and death, then you reconsider in many ways being near other and if in your fate is Love allowed." she said calmly, not angry or upset. She hadn't been mad about it for a very long time, she had already accepted that she would never be allowed to love and that she would never have a romantic story to tell. That her heart was meant to love her plants and the nymphs, not human beings.

Before her last comment she hadn't mentioned her skin condition, so how this girl knew about it?! SHe found it kind of weird, but her words made her feel a bit annoyed, how could she talk like that?! "look... I really don't want to be disrepsectful at any point, I know you must be a daughter of Venus and that makes you speak about love in such sweet way, but in my case, love was architectured in a very different way, I love and be loved by plants, but I will never have a romantic love... I won't let any fool guy come and die just to feel a kiss." She said and smiled apologetically.

Venus raised an eyebrow as she studied the girl in front of her. Was she laughing? At her? That mortal! How dare s-, wait, she had no idea that Venus was well, Venus. Fine, that mortal could laugh, for now. After all, that was what Venus was hoping to pull off. To appear as another simple member of this boring legion, gods, what was she thinking? Now she got no respect. It took everything for the goddess to not pout at that thought. It wasn't the respect she yearned for, but the attention. As the girl yammered on Venus started to drift into her own thoughts. Not to disrespect the female in front of her, okay, so maybe to disrespect her a little. But Venus had the right to do that, the girl laughed like some weird cow in front of her face. Talk about rude.

But anyways, yes, blah blah blah, no one can touch me, blah blah blah, I'll never find love. Boring boring boring boring bored bored bored. Honestly, how Robin was able to listen to these people cry about how they could never find love and crud is absolutely beyond her. Venus would just give up halfway through the first patient. She had to give her son a lot of credit there. He was probably one of her favorite sons, right next to Cupid, wait, scratch that, right below Cupid. Robin isn't immortal so eventually he would die and give or take a few centuries, Venus might even forget him. No hard feelings or anything, honestly. But Cupid held a plaque all to his own. Heck, her son was too good looking that no one was really suppose to see his true form. Plus, Cupid came from one of her many unions with her favored lover. Mars. Now that guy just knew how to give Venus attention. After all, they even have a quote based on them. All is fair in love and war, or something along those lines. If only it wasn't for his pesky mother marrying her off to that horrid creature Vulcan. Gods, her, the goddess of love, married? It was disgusting, she didn't even love the creep. No, if she ever had to settle down with someone, it would be Mars, no questions asked.

Finally Venus had enough. She laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Finally, after catching her breath she smirked at the red haired girl in front of her. "Dear Child, me? A child of Venus? Please, I'm Venus herself. And I can guarantee that I know for a fact one day you are going to fall in love, and you're going to fall hard. " Venus smirked at the incoming joke. "You could almost say you tripped and fell into his arms."
