Newbie in camp. (OPEN)

Notes: First of her posts!!

Sabella had been in Camp Jupiter for only six or seven months, she didn't remember a thing from her past, nothing from the moment she woke up in the infirmary to her past. But she knew something, even when she was in a very good shape, her body wasn't used to the movements of battle and war. She looked at the other people in that place, they moved and jumped and then dock at the right time. Their muscles had already printed in them the right movements to perform in the right moment, but hers... well they were a mess in battle and combat, she hardly could follow the rhythm of the obstacle curse, in fact it had defeated her an average of 9.5 out of ten! was it even possible?

The last time she got hit by a log, she stood on the muddy ground for several minutes trying to breath, to gather strength from her already beaten up body. She look at the other campers, some of them made it seem so easy!! but she then remembered that they had been there at least double time she'd been there... yes she was with the newbies and that was something she really didn't like, all of them were no older than 10 years old, and it wasn't something she found fun at all. After some minutes she finally got up again and pushed her hair back, off her face. When she got there she had been wearing his hair in a ponytail, but like an hour ago a trunk was about to hit her on the head and she docked, but the trunk ripped her band, so now her hair was all messy muddy and in many ways, she couldn't care less.

For some reason she was sure that she used to love the feeling of wild and freedom. she breathed deeply and stepped back to check the better angle to attack, for the 15th time in the day, the curse. suddenly she stepped on someone's foot. "Oh!... Sorry..." she said looking back.

The obstacle course! She was going to have fun here today. Most of the people she saw so far challenging it looked to be nothing but newbies with a few older kids tossed in there. Maybe if she had her luck she was going to wreck it today. Well at least she was going to try. She pulled out her sword and traced the trident that was engraved into it. “Mighty Neptune, watch over me while I prove my strength today.” Once her prayer was done she made sure she had a bottle of water and headed up to the course. She would prove to everyone that she was going to be the best.

As she approached she noticed that a lot of people were here. Why were none of them doing anything smart? They all seemed to be taken down at some point because of what they were doing wrong. As she got closer her adrenaline started pumping through her veins. As it coursed through her blood stream everything seemed to slow down and it was like she was watching everything in slow motion.

She was about to head into the course when she felt a pain in her foot. What just happened? Her eyes widened when another girl spoke and she gasped. It was someone who was new here! She lowered her sword and then grinned at the girl. “Don’t worry about it, I hardly felt it. The adrenaline you know, it helps ease up the pain.” She was still going to go through this and that would hopefully allow her new friend here a chance to see how things were done. “Do you need some help getting through the course?”

When she stepped forward and a log came swinging she focused on the water in the bottle manipulating it. Once it was big enough she moved it in front of the log to slow it down. “I would move if I were you!” Quickly she jumped onto it and sliced through the ropes bringing it crashing to the ground. “That’s one way of dealing with the logs.” Focusing on the water that was now sprayed out she allowed it to condense back together and fill the bottle once more.

Jumping off the log she landed back in front of the girl and grinned at her. “I’m Mikayla, daughter of Neptune, Lord of the Sea.” She held out her hand and grinned. Now this was a great way to begin a new friendship. Hopefully one that would last a long time. “Let’s beat this thing together shall we?”

Notes: Thax for joining!

It was something amazing to see the girl who she had just stepped on! She seemed so fit to be in that place, moved in the right moment, jumped or docked, it was incredible the way she moved! Sabella knew that she would never be capable to move in such way, well not so accurate at least. Maybe if she could remember where did she live before camp, or waht did you usde to do, it could help her think of a way to be better in that task, but as far as her body told her... she was nothing more than a cute girl, made to be in a peaceful place.

She tried to appologize again, but the girl asked if she would need some help to get through the course, well YES!! she was totally lost in that place! she loved to 'play' outside, but she just couldn't get her body to move well enough or fast enough to beat that thing! She couldn't imagine how was it possible that kids that were even younger than she was, could beat that thing! maybe it was because of their parentage or maybe because of their previous training?

"Yes, please!! I'm completely lost here!" she addmited to the girl, hoping she wasn't one of those crazy guys that were kids of Mars or Bellona, they would just laugh at her and push her to the mud again. but for her good luck, that girl wasn't, in fact she seemed so well suited for that thing! She moved at the logs and cut them, then jumped and rolled and moved so agily! Sabella was so impressed she almost didn't move in time when that girl told her to duck or move, she dropped herself onto the ground again and then got up again, she smiled at the girl.

"That was simply impressive!!" she said excited and with a huge smile, then nodded at the girl and offered her hand to shake the girl's who's name then she knew it, thank the gods, to be Mikayla. "I'm Sabella Moreno, daughter of Iris, lady of the rainbow, organic food and the IMs" she winked at Mikayla. "wow... a daughter of Neptune, so should I call you princess?" she smiled innocently, then looked at the course again and smiled, maybe now with someone that could actually show her how to defeat that thing, she could finally learn how to do it. "YES, it would be a honor!! but I can't do that with the water, my powers aren't that amazing."

Thankfully the ADHD and the adrenalin helped when going through the course. It was something that took her a while to control but in the end she learned to control it and used it to her advantage. Now she was fast, strong and able to get through the course, or so she hoped. The last few times she’d been taken out near the end but this time, with someone that could watch her back it should be a piece of cake. Not even waiting for the girl to reply she took the first log down. Once she was done she watched as the girl had to drop to the ground as it went soaring over her head and crashed behind her.

That. Was. Close. At least the girl managed to duck and miss being hit by the log all together. When she stood up and looked at the girl she grinned. “I’m happy to help you, together we’ll be able to beat this thing.” That was the truth, two were better than one. Plus there was nothing in the rules that said you couldn’t beat the thing with a partner.

A blush crept up her lips and she grinned. “Thank you, though it was nothing. I’m more than happy to help you out.” She meant that, she was going to help this girl out and together they would beat the course.

After her introduction she waited and nodded her head. So this was Sabella? Well they would have a fun time getting to know one another. She seemed nice and kind after all. That was the one thing she wanted in her friends, someone who was nice and on her level. A laugh left her lips hearing what she asked. “Oh Gods no, you don’t have to call me princess at all. I’m a daughter of Neptune, not of Jupiter. Though I’m not sure how my cousins or sister is. They could want to be called princess and prince’s but I’m not like that.”

Now that they had agreed to help one another that meant they should get a move on. Lifting her sword up she moved ahead of the girl and slashed when something came around the corner. Hearing Sabella speak up she giggled. “I wouldn’t expect you to be able to do that, being the child of Iris and not Neptune. It’s only something that I hear my siblings and I can do. Though I’m not sure about my sister, I haven’t seen her do it yet.” Looking back to Sabella she gave her a wink. “I’ve got more abilities than the water manipulation though.”

Notes: this is fun!!

The ground was muddy, why? well Sabella didn't have the slightest idea, if it hadn't been that way before Mikayla used her water, then she would have had thought that the Neptune girl had left it that way, but it hadn't been her, the ground had been like that before Sabella got down for the first time, and it had made it even more difficult to continue, the soles of her boots, which she had been forced to wear, slipped with the mud over the surfaces, so it was almost impossible to do that in the proper way. Sabella had mud all over her clothes and she only hoped that it would help her skin. GODS! she was thinking like a Venus girl! 

She shook her head after she ducked and 'kissed' the mud one more time, but the girl had saved her... well it seemed like that. She got up again and cleaned her face with her short sleeve. Then she grabbed another hair band and tie her hair in a better ponny tail. She looked at Mikayla and admired how she moved! "well, definetely you should be called a warrior princess" she laughed and shook her head, for some reason the image of a warrior princess on TV popped in her mind, but as soon as she tried to hold on to it, it just vanished as soon as it came it left her mind once more.

She looked at Mikayla and how she moved, she ducked whenever Mikayla moved or swung her sword in Sabella's direction, it wasn't such a bad idea, she could move very well, maybe before camp Sabella had danced or practiced gymnastics, because she was flexible and agil. Soon she was moving faster, not as well as the daughter of Neptune, but she was definetely much better than hours before. "Thank you... for helping me here!", she said with a smile and then continued, trying not to break the rhythm that they already had. she also grabbed a sword that maybe other camper had dropped and tried to defend her position with it.

"Who is your sister?" she asked in an innocent question. she had been there for 7 months still she couldn't remember the name of everyone in there, if they mentioned a position or a job in the legion she remembered easierly. then she looked at Mikayla and smiled at her, she was now curious about how may more things she could do! "really? what cand you do besides that with water?!" she asked as she moved aside so a set of smaller logs passed by without hitting her.

[Deleted]

The mud that was covering this course was going to cause a major problem but maybe they would be able to use that to their advantage. Where there was mud that meant there was water, where there was water, there was a way for her to use her water abilities. Her eyes fell back to Sabella as they fought their way through and could only help but smile when she noticed how much mud her friend was covered up in. “It’s a good thing mud is good for the skin, isn’t it?” A mud bath would be fun but not now, later and only once they were done here.

When another log fell to her sword she smiled, this really was fun with someone else around. Turning around she leaned against the wall to catch her breath and wiped some sweat from her brow. “Oh no, if you call me warrior princess I think any daughters of Mars might get mad. They’re the ones that are really warriors and know the art of war. I just know how to defend myself and fight back a little. I don’t really like fighting much but I was forced to in the last war. Normally I’m as calm as the ocean is on a peaceful day.”

Once she caught her breath she motioned for Sabella that they were going to continue. If they kept up at this pace they would make it through the course and be done soon. “You’re welcome, it helps because in war we’re not on our own, we’re fighting for the glory of Rome.” Well New Rome but still, they were fighting for their home. Like when the war with Saturn happened, not only were they fighting for their lives and the fate of the world but also it was a fight for their home. Noticing the other girl picked up a sword caused her to smile, now they were getting somewhere.

At Sabella’s question she sighed. She knew who her sister was but she didn’t know who her sister really was. The person behind the name. “Clare Fontaine, Centurion of Fourth Cohort.” Something to live up to it seemed, her sister was a Centurion and here she was just a warrior. No, she was more than a warrior, she was an artist. Someone who fought for peace and all the beauty that was in the world. “Do you have any siblings?” Well that was dumb, of course she did being a child of a God.

As the wall appeared and blocked their path she grinned. “Well it’s a good time you asked that question. Watch this.” She moved back a bit and focused on the ground under the wall. Focusing her power an intense earthquake started up under the wall. It wasn’t as powerful as she could go but it was enough to bring the wall crashing down. “Neptune isn’t just the Lord of the Sea, he’s also known as the Earth shaker.” Using her sword she cut away the wood and made a path for them to walk through. Now the end was going to be in sight.

Notes:  Sabella is impressed! XD

Sabella looked at the daughter of Neptune and couldn't help but smile widely when she mentioned that mud was good for skin. She didn't know why, but she had the feeling that she have had used mud for those purposes before in her life, still she couldn't remember when or how. still the comment made her smile and nod at her.  "yes, I've heard it is! and also a natural raw material, totally organic!" she smiled. For some reason she knew that organic was best, that all those sinthetic products weren't good at all and that she wouldn't like to use or eat any of those non organic ones. Maybe someday she would remember the reason.

She also smiled when Mika told her not to call her a warrior princess, which Sabella in many ways agreed with her. She had seen Charlie from first cohort, and she would have hated to see her mad at her for calling someone else a warrior princess. Then she continued following Mika into the course. then she ducked again and then jumped just in time to miss a lower trap.she continued and looked at mika. Sabella couldn't remember if she had seen the sea or not, but she believed in the daughter of Neptune's words. She did seem to be calm, but also to have the strength of the sea.

Then with the sword she took, she could slashed a smaller log, but the hit had made her wrist to be twisted, it was tricky to hold a sword and hit with it. Still she didn't let the sord fall from her hand, she had decided that she would try to be a fighter in that moment, as Mika said, in a war they fought to protect each other. "past war I was in the infirmary helping, I got to camp like 8 months ago." She said and smiled apologetically, it wasn't that she hadn't wanted to help around, but she couldn't do more than preparing bandages and  be a 'go for' in the infirmary.

Then about the siblings question... Sabella nodded at Mika as she told her who her sister was. those were huge shoes to fill! but everything would be fine as Mika didn't feel frustrated by not being a centurion. But if Sabella had siblings... she supposed she would have had some... Iris would have more, but she didn't know them and about siblings of the same father, she had no idea... she had the feeling that she had a brother, but wasn't sure about it. "I'm not sure... I don't know any other Iris child."

Then when Mika made it quake, Sabella squatted and put her hand on the ground, then looked at the wall and smiled widely. "that is amazing!! and helpful!" she got up again and slashed a lower log, then walked through the hole that Mika just did. "that's all or I must wait for the volcano eruptions too?" smiled at her and winked.

“I remember taking mud baths with my mom when I was younger, she always told me it would be good for the skin. It’s one of the things I miss about being at home with my mom.” That was because she was family. Sure you could say technically everyone here was family but there was a difference. They were extended family, but there was a difference between extended and core family. Though of the people here she really meet her sister. That would be an amazing experience in itself. Sure they had different mothers but they had the same father, which was something worth meeting up and seeing how they differed or how they were the same.

Sadly the daughters of Mars would be mad if she was referred to as a Warrior Princess, though she would love the nickname. She was a strong warrior in her own right, after all. Picking up a sword was in her blood and defending her people was too. Maybe one of these days she would get people to call her that just to see their reactions.

As Sabella spoke up of where she was during the war she paid attention. Lucky for her she was able to pay attention to two things at once and cut the line to a trap to stop it from going off. “So you were a medic? That must have been horrible.” It was more horrible than out in the field fighting. She had to sit there and see people in pain and possibly dying with no help of healing and saving at all. She would never have been able to do that. After losing her best friend she needed to fight, it was the one thing she could do to honor his memory.

Why did she have to torture herself about bringing up the siblings question? It was stupid and she should never have done that. Listening to her she nodded her head. It was true, sometimes kids never knew how many children their parent had and well that was kind of annoying, they needed to know these things. “It really sucks when we don’t know how many children that our parents have. It’s one of those times you wish they would come and tell us.”

Watching Sabella as she squatted and braced herself made Mika giggle. It was one of those things that she was used to watching people do. “It is very helpful when you need a wall down.” As Sabella stepped through the hole she shook her head. “Nope, no volcano’s will be erupting from me. Sadly if I do anything to much I’ll pass out and not wake up for a while. It’s that risky to use.” Not to mention passing out in the middle of the course would be a very bad thing to do.

Notes: Sorry, awkward post, I was very tired and half sleepy.

Sabella smiled at the idea of a younger Mika playing around with her mother and a bunch of mud. or maybe Mika was an ordenated girl that would had never played like that with mud. It would be nice to know the kind of girl she had been before arriing to camp. By the way she fought, probably she had been a very active girl always playing and wrestling, well she would go with that thought in that moment. The sound of the air moving brought hed back to reality. It had been a cord that came directly at her. She moved her head and then rushed to keep the pace that Mika had.

"It must had been nice to enjoy time with your mortal parent." She said it earnestly, in any oment she was mean or meant bad with that comment, but she felt kind of jealous of Mika, she could summon memories from your mind and keep those she lived in mind always present. In Bella's case, that was impossible! Before the cadelcot tunnel, she couldn't remember a ingle thing of her life. They had tried to help her,but... well, Monetta was vanishing already, her only daughter in this era had died a month or two before she came to camp... so in a way there was no one who could help her with lost memories.

Then she shook slowly he head as she ut a cord and a trap just broke. "I'm not a medic, not even a nurse..." her voice was calm and relaxed. "I was there because I know nothing about fighting. I was there as a medical assistat. you know... the person that brings the bandages and schedule a new appointment." she smiled at Mika and then contiued, she stopped when Mika destroyed a trap and saved them... again.

She continued and listened at Mika when she told her how much her powers could affect her- "that much? so it's not safe for you or anyother that you use those! you could get hurt." She just recently met the daughter of the God of the seas and Earthquakes, but she already considered a cool girl, someone that maybe in the future could had become a good friends. weird how humans worked out. no one would asure you that two people would become friends of others, depends on many many details,

[Deleted]

This was not good, her mind started to wonder back to the past when she was living at home. One of these days she was going to have to go home and visit. She would be able to have some fun and act like a normal teenager for once. Sure she would still be a legion member but it would be a nice break from here. That was if she was able to go home on a break without them thinking she was abandoning them. Maybe she would be able to talk to her sisters soon to be husband. It would be a nice way to get off on the right foot after all.

Thinking about all the time her mother and her spent together she sighed a little. “It wasn’t bad until the monsters came. They were attracted to me because of my father and we had to fight off a lot. It was funny because my mother reminded me of Sarah Connor from the Terminator movies when she used her shotgun. But other than that we did get to have fun times and get to know one another well, until I had to come to camp.” Being with your mortal parent was fun and all, that was until you had to leave them. They were the ones to protect you and you ended up loving them for it. She really wanted to find some way to say thank you to her mother for that.

Hearing her explain what she had done and why she was in medical during the war cleared it up a lot for her. So she wasn’t able to fight well? Actually that was not hard to believe seeing her reactions and how she acted here in the course. Well there would be some way to fix that, seeing as it seemed like she had no training. “Well, if you would like I can help train you to fight. I mean don’t get me wrong, I won’t be like a child of Mars but I will push you to your limits and help get you up to where you can fight. All of us have that inner instinct and we can’t fight it, we just need to find yours.” This way she wouldn’t hurt herself like it looked like when she blocked her first hit. It would be a good thing for her and she would be able to see her new friend more.

Hearing Sabella’s suggestion she shakes her head. “Oh no, there’s no way that I could stop using my gifts. They’re helpful and it’s just something I need to keep training at. It’s like a muscle it seems. The more I use them the better I can get. I’m hoping one day to be able to use them enough to where I don’t pass out or anything.” Hopefully she would be able to make that goal and create a 6.0 earthquake! That would be amazing but still, if she kept passing out. Well look on the brighter side, she was still a great warrior even with how her powers were.

Notes: sorry the delay!!

Sabella looked at the daughter of Neptune and wondered if she would have had those problems when she was outside, she wondered if by any chance she would have put her family in danger... did she had a family at all? she really wanted to remember, to know what was about her life before Camp, before that tunnel. But she knew that it was difficult if the gods or someone else had decided to take her memories away, maybe it was for the good, maybe she lived something really bad and knowing the truth would only hurt her or drive her crazy... still, she would like to know the truth, to know what had happened to her and if she had or still has a family.

She smiled at Mikayla as she moved right before a set of slim logs passed by her side. "Well, I'm sure that you mom didn't mind some monsters in her life as long as you were fine." she tried to lift the spirit of her new friend, she didn't remember her family or life, but she could see the pain in the eyes of Neptune's daughter, so she just wanted her to smile again, to be happy. something that Sabella had in her DNA, she liked people to be healthy, happy and full of color in their lives. "I don't really remember that... Sarah, but I'm sure your mom was... a fine warrior, if not your father wouldn't have fell for her." She smiled and then continued through the course with her.

they continued and it seemed that the course was getting more and more difficult, Sabella hadn't been able to come so far on her own before, if she would have been alone, she would have had been smashed by then, so it was a whole new experience for her to be standing there. "That would be so nice of you!" she said as she rolled on the ground and then grabbed herself from a moving pole to miss a set of arrows that were flying around them. "My centurion offered the same, but I know that having two teachers will help me a lot! I'll be able to be in shape sooner!!" she smiled and then ran through a tunnel and looked behind for her.

"Well, I still tink you should be careful!, but if you want to improve them... then I'll be there to help you... if I can help with my powers." smiles at her again and then jumped over a stone to miss a lower blade.

[Deleted]

Sabella was right; her mother didn’t mind any of the monsters because she had her. They were a team and they worked togather that was what being a family was. Watching out for one another and being there to support the other when they were having a hard time. “You’re right, I’ve never seen my mother happier than when she was around me.” She would have to find some way of making her way back to visiting her mother if she could. It would only do them both some good. A smile came to her lips as she spoke of how her mother was a strong woman if Neptune fell for her. “That and their love of the sea.”

While they moved through the course she continued to keep watching Sabella as she moved and went through the course. She could use some help but after a while of training she would be a skilled and amazing warrior. Hopefully she would be up for the training. “I will warn you I run a tight ship and your training may leave you very exhausted at the end of the day.” She had an idea on how to help build up the girls’ muscles, the way she did. “Our training will start at the lake.” Swimming, it was the best way to build up some muscles. “Who is your centurion?”

Hopefully she would be able to get with Sabella’s centurion and they would be able to work together and bring her into fighting shape. That would be the best for her, oh! Fighting two people at once would be amazing.

Looking up to Sabella she nodded. “I will do my best to be careful while learning to make my powers stronger. I’m glad you’ll be there to help me, it’ll be a nice fun way to get cool when it’s hot.” Well now that it was going to be colder it wouldn’t be so fun but they could find a way to make it amazing. I would be honored to help you with your powers if you need any help at all.” She watched as Sabella took down a log and dodged some of the traps. She was getting better as they went through the course.

When an arrow shoots out she deflects it with her sword only for it to rip the side of her arm open. Blood slowly starts flowing out from the wound and she winces. “Dang! Well this doesn’t tickle at all.” She presses her back against the wall and touches the wound as it bleeds more. Reaching for her water bottle she opens it up and pours some water on the wound, the skin sews itself back together and heals over in seconds and once done the water walls off her arm. “Much better, let’s go!” She grins and holds her sword up and grins. Now they could finish this thing.

Notes: Sorry for the wait!

Sabella looked at her new friend and smiled when she told her about how happy her mother usually was. It for sure must have been a great kind of memories, when you could relate to someone and get such warm feeling, Maybe someday she'd get back her memories and she'd be able to know if she also had in her past such amazing warm memories. then she walked with her and continued trying to survive the course. "did you live near the sea? or she did? or how did your parents met? I'm kind of curious about it, sorry." Half smiled at Mikayla. Not having her memories made her be curious about the past of others.

She ducked and twerked just in time and then looked at her again. "Oh! it's ok. for some reason I believe I was used to hard work." she said as she looked at her hands. even when her hands were delicate and small, they weren't too soft as a Venus girl's hands. she had some calluses of working. she didn't know it, but she used to work really hard in the family's orchard and also lifting boxes, in the stor, cleaning around. she had been a very hard working girl, she only couldn't remember about it. "so if you need to be strict and tough, I won't be a baby about it." she smiled and followed her.

She tilted her head just for a second, she was wondering why would it be in the lake, but then she smiled and felt like a dumb person. If Mikayla was a daughter of Neptune, of course she would like to train in a place where she could feel more comfortable and have more control of it, which was the sea or the lake. "the lake... well I think it will be a great time to spend together! I'm a slow learner in combat stuff, but a hard working one, so I'll give my 100% on it!" She followed her and saw the cut. "Dioses!!* are you ok?" she asked and ran closer to where she was. Then she saw how the daughter of Neptune healed herself with the water.

"It is very good you have that leverage!! that was amazing!!" she said and distracted herself from the place where they were, She was still amazed about the magic that the water did, then she turned to continue and an arrow got her thigh, it was a nasty wound and it started bleeding. it for sure had ripped the femoral arthery, so if she didn't take it out she'd die in more or less 15 minutes, but if she did, then she'd die way sooner. But she was no medic to know that. "Ouch!! me lleva el demonio!!"** she cursed in Spanish, then she tried to move the arrow but it hurt like hell and only made her wound bleed more.

((*Gods
**-something like- I'll be damned))

This whole course today was so much different than the other ones; it seemed tougher than the last ones she’d been in. When they finally got a break and Sabella asked her question she smiled. “Well I kind of moved around a bit honestly. My mother is French but moved to Australia to work on the sea, that’s where she met father. When she was about seven months along she moved back to Paris and gave birth to me there, we lived there for about four years then went back to Australia. It’s why my accent is a little bit of French with Australian.” She smiled at her new friend and shook her head. “Don’t worry about it, I don’t mind sharing at all.” Not when she was making a new friend!

“Working hard really is fun, it allows you to get better at fighting so I’m glad you’re going to work hard and are used to it.” Her eyes moved from her friend back to the course and she cut down an arrow that was coming at them. “I won’t be to strict on you, though if I am it’s because I care and don’t want you to be hurt.” She did not want to lose another friend if another war happened. If that happened she might snap and not be able to come back from it.

The lake! It was the best place to train and she couldn’t wait to introduce her new friend to the powers of training in water. The way she looked almost made her think that she was crazy for wanting to train in the lake. “Yes, the lake is one of the better places to train. Being slow is okay because the water is going to help you. The way you work in water is going to help because it will make you stronger. Because you’re not free fighting like we are out here, you have the resistance of the water working against you so it will work your muscles more allowing you to become stronger while you train.” It was one of the reasons she was always near or in the lake when training on her own.

After she got cut her eyes shot up to her friend, “yeah, I’ll be fine.” Giving her friend a smile once the cut was healed she nodded. “It really helps when you need it.” When the barrage of arrows came she cut some down and then her eyes widened when her friend yelled out. “Oh no!
