Reflections of the Moon {Elodie}

[Deleted]

If there was a curfew Nathan didn't know about or he didn't care, one of the two. He stood near the lake, the moon was half full. It's not like Nathan had an obsession with the moon. It was one of the few things that he felt close to his parents with. It's not like he would ever get to be with either of them. It was kind of impossible when one was dead after all. But still, being out here away from people made him just a tad bit more confident after a day of being reminded of his place. This was far from the spoiled life he had left once his father died. But he refused to back down. Nathan knew his worth and he was worth a hell of a lot more than half the losers here. Yet they were completely full of themselves. What right did they think they have anyway? Stupid idiots, all of them.

Nathan grabbed a pebble and rubbed it in the palm of his hand for a moment, testing how smooth it was. One of his nannies showed him this trick, then again, it was at a time he was way too old for a nanny but his father apparently had forgotten his age. Being fourteen with a nanny was a tad outrageous. It ended up with them doing more than skipping stones, the nanny was young after all. One of those au pair girls from the USA who was just starting her senior year of high school. She thought he was at least sixteen. When she was fire he couldn't help but chuckle.

With a flick of the wrist he let the pebble escape his hand and it bounced across the lake four times before plummeting to the bottom.

Elodie ran, she didn`t mean to, she knew Ramsey was in a mood and she had to get out of there before she got into trouble....again. She ran as fast as she could her chest aching and her breathing heavy she only stopped when his voice was out of ear shot. She panted softly and frowned back in the direction she`d come form. He`d have her head for that later but for now she was safe. Elodie had forgotten how much she hated when Ramsey was upset, she bit her lip and began to walk as far as she could trying to get way from the place she meant to be. She had on her fluffy pink bunny bagpack the leash following after her as she walked. She had untied it from where Ramsey had left her and no doubt if she didnt get back in time she`d suffer but for now she was able to run free and just enjoy the night air. Most the titans were tucked away for the night so she didnt have to worry about it at least not as much as she normally would have had too.

As she walked she heard rocks smacking against the water which of course made the jumpy girl jump slightly. She moved towards the sound and spotted the Titan boy throwing rocks at the water, she bit her lip and tensed slightly looking down, crap she`d gotten caught again. Perhaps she could back away silently....yeah that was a safe attempt right? Elodie backed up slowly only to stumbled over her own feet and fell onto her butt with a oomph sound. Damn she was getting worse at sneaking about the longer she stayed at this camp. Elodie bit her lip and looked up at the male who undoubtedly would know what she was, an untouchable greek traitor, a pet to Ramsey Mc'Alister and a small girl who wouldnt fight back no matter how much she wanted to. She silently cursed in greek since speaking the titan language was off limits to untouchables. Elodie had two choices and she took the first one she could think of, "My apologizes sir, I didn`t mean to interrupt you......" She looked down to scared to look into his eyes, one could only hope he`d be one of the nicer titans. Elodie shook slightly waiting anxiously for her punishment, she broke a rule again and now she`d been caught.

Nathan turned quickly at the sound. A second rock already in his hand from grabbing it after the first rock left. At least this way he had a form of weapon, granted it was a tiny rock, he didn't know who he could trust yet after all. Yet, as he looked at the girl he noticed she looked familiar. It was that mousy girl who always seemed to be at that one mans side. Eventually he would learn the names, once it mattered to him at least.

He was just going to roll his eyes and go back to minding his own business before an idea sprung into his head. He needed to learn the ropes, and quickly and if this girl was like a pet to someone, well obviously she would have to have known a thing or two that could prove useful to him. So, instead of rolling his eye he went over to the pathetic looking girl and gave a small smile. "You didn't interrupt me. I was just lost in my thoughts. Need help getting up?" Nathan asked, offering her a hand to help pull her up if she so desired. Being nice left a weird taste in his mouth, but he just swallowed it back. This was something he needed to do after all. He wanted to climb the ropes, and fast. In order to do that one needed to play their cards well. Keep their poker face on and their thoughts to themselves until waiting till they racked up enough points to throw their play onto the table. It always shocked people and yes, there would be some angry people and maybe some hurt along the way but it was all just causalities Nathan was willing to pay for. After all, if these people thought he would just sit there saying yes sir or no ma'am all day, they were wrong. He had ambition just like the rest of them.

"My name's Nathan, I've seen you around before but haven't quite caught your name. I haven't been here too long, still learning the ropes." Nathan admitted, trying for the slightly embarrassed act. He knew girls liked the wounded puppy look at times, it made them feel happy in helping a man out. At least some girls, Nathan just hoped this was one, he was taking guesses from the mousey demeanor and frigidity she was showing that maybe she was not someone to be feared instead someone to just stomp upon.

The moment he acted friendly towards was the moment Elodie got a bit nervous, no one in camp could be trusted Tyler had told her that....She bit her lip and allowed him to help her up. She frowned ever so slightly at Nathan, "My name is Elodie Paek, but here I just go by Ellie most of the time, unless im in trouble with Ramsey then he calls me Elodie so I try my best to stay out of trouble as I can possibly manage" She looked up slightly realizing she had been rambling a bit, but that is just who Elodie was. She pursed her lips and looked him over, she`d seen him around camp recently but she doubted he was anyone of to great importance, of course ones looks could be deceiving. Elodie frowned once she was on her own feet and fiddled with her bag packs strings. She wasnt suppose to be out and about on her own but she was bound and determined to get away from the unhappy man she loved. Elodie moved slightly towards the water and sat down looking at her reflection. She grabbed her spoon from her pocket and began to examine it looking between the two reflections that both things held.

She was an odd ball no doubt about that but she found it interesting that perhaps one could show her something the other one couldnt. She sighed softly and hold out her spoon to Nathan. "Do you like mini shovels?" she raised a brow curiously he probably wouldnt understand what a mini shovel was it was something Seb had said that just kind of stuck with her. "My uncle said it shows your reflection, and so does the water, do you think that there is a god of reflections? " She paused thinking to herself before frowning and looking at him. "Please dont tell Ramsey I ran away, he`ll get angry at me....its just all the yelling makes me nervous and I dont like hearing people...." again she paused and then she sighed. "You dont have to be nice to me, I know you are just like everyone else...." She tensed slightly realizing what she might have done to herself, permission to be mean was never a good choice of words..."Im sorry that was rude. Its just no ones been nice to me since I`ve arrived and I feel like maybe I made a bad choice and maybe I shouldnt have left uncle Seb......" She fought back tears and pulled her knees to her chest resting her chin on them.

He listened as the girl rambled all the details concerning her name making sure that his face showed he was interesting even if inside he could really care less. A squirrel looking for nuts was a lot more interesting than what this mouse rambled on about. I mean, for gods sake, the girl looked like one of those stupid teenagers who were forced to model in a childrens magazine. "Well, it's nice to officially meet you, Ellie." He said, using the name she said most people called her by instead of being more formal by using her actual given names. He knew that that could make someone feel uncomfortable during different occasions.

He watched closely as the girl made her way to the waters surface and held up a spoon. He arched an eyebrow at her question. "I've never heard of such a thing. And as for a deity, no, I do know of the story of Narcissus. He fell in love with his own reflection and drowned himself when he tried to kiss it." Nathan said with a shrug of his shoulders. It was just one of those myth stories that stuck by him when his tutors made him read classic literature like that. It had been boring at the time but now he was thankful for it and tried to remember all that he had previously learned as best as he could.

Then, before he knew it she was back spewing out worried words. She seemed to be, well, scared. Okay, maybe that was the wrong word but something similar. He wasn't quite sure how to react. He hadn't been anticipated this situation. Yet, he did realize that being nice to her could be advantageous. Especially if he made it look legitimate. So he put on a worried mask as he looked at her. "Whoah whoah, hey, I won't tell anyone. I didn't know.... why wouldn't they be nice to you? You don't seem like a threat. And what bad choice are you talking about, maybe we can figure something out? Just, you don't have to fear me, I promise you that. I'm not like all the others." Nathan said, making sure there was actual genuine sincerity in his voice. If all else fails in life perhaps he might make a good living pursuing an acting career if he was able to pull off this huge endeavor with the mousey girl. After all, it just seemed as though she might need a friend. And well, people had plenty of fake friends all throughout their life time in the mortal world, why should it be any different in this type of life?

Elodie wanted to trust the male to think that he wasnt like the others but Tyler had warned her, even if they said they were friends suspect them to not be. The only friend she thought she had was Ramsey and even that wasnt friendship. Elodie  bit her lip and looked down she had just spoken ill of her choice to join the titans side but he didnt seem to understand her so perhaps she could get away with it for now. She sighed softly when he began to speak he wanted to "help her" and she knew damn well that if Ramsey caught her being disobedient to anyone she`d be in bigger trouble than words could say. "I`m sorry I was rambling, I didnt mean to its just.....I`m an untouchable, a greek traitor and I havent earned my place among you yet. Sometimes I feel out of place here." She sighed and bit her lip lightly almost chewing on it as she looked at him. Elodie was scared to death of this male he was kind almost too kind. She had grown accustomed to the ruthless ways of the Titans so to see something different scared her greatly.

It wasnt every day that Elodie got to meet a nice titan so she was taken back by his friendly demeanor. She hoped he wouldnt get offended at her comment so she kept her eyes on him as she brought a hand to her lips trying to figure out what to say. It was hard to think that one wrong move could upset the whole function that someone had into play. Elodie was already a nervous bundle thanks to her trainer but now she wanted more than anything to believe she could have a friend. "Nathan, You are far to kind to me." she blushed softly and moved to offer her hand in a friendly gesture, which she was pretty sure broke another rule but hey.  When she shifted the sound of glass clinking came from her bagpack, her potions were always on her and she tended to keep them close by for sticky situations of course she had to be careful who she exposed them too. She giggled softly and scrunched up her nose in a playful expression, it was so nice to have someone she could be herself with. "Would you like to go swimming, Uncle seb taught me but Im still learning and if you go with me I wont drown." She beamed awkwardly at him.

"An untouchable?" Nathan said trying out the word. It wasn't the first time he had heard the word he just never heard the meaning behind it. So that's what they were. He knew they had to prove themselves but he didn't know what all that meant they had to do and frankly, he wasn't sure he wanted to know. Especially if it involved some grotesque act that should really not be mentioned in front of children. "I see, I had heard about them, but never really knew about them." Nathan admitted.

What she said next caught him off guard. Was his acting too good or was he just trying too hard, perhaps it was the later. So, he shot her a smirk. "Well, if you want, I can be mean to you, but it was never my intention. Like I said, I'm still sort of learning the ropes and wouldn't mind having a friend help me with them." Nathan said with a shrug as he looked out across the water, not at her. Once he noticed the hand extended he took it, giving it a quick, subtle shake. He raised an eyebrow at the sound of bottles clinking around in her childish backpack but wasn't sure to ask about them or not. After all if she was doing something against the rules he didn't want to spook her and cause her to feel like she needed to retaliate in any manner.

He smirked at the mousey girl. "And what makes you think I can swim." He said with a slight chuckle at the end. He would be lying if he said that the scrunched up nose didn't make her look a tad bit adorable, but really, he wasn't one to like anyway. It would go against his style. Plus, he didn't want to meet this uncle in some bad situation because Nathan had taken it upon himself to flirt a bit, or worse, this Ramsey character. They way she talked about them, one would almost think that they were in charge of her and not in the normal guardian dependent way either. More like a pet, at least more when she talked about Ramsey. He didn't know whether or not to be worried for the girls safety but trying to help her would compromise his plan to benefit himself. Wow, did he hate these stupid feelings of wanting to be good. He blamed it all on the scrunched up nose of the Asian female in front of him because wow, did it make her look cute.

Elodie frowned when he spoke about untouchables. She never had to explain it to a titan before, "Untouchables are greek or roman demi god traitors. We have to earn our places and are given trainers to ensure that we are given the best training possible. Cosmos does not accept defective people. Ramsey picked me from the bunch, when I misbehave I get punished but when im good he allows me to have fun." She shrugged slightly and looked him over, her eyes examining him with a curiosity. "Learning the ropes? I can help you with as much as I can however well I don`t know much. I try to keep up with them but Ramsey reminds me my place and tells me to keep my nose clean. I suppose you know Cosmos doesnt like me in his business." She sighed softly and looked at the boy, she wasnt a touchable yet and she had no place among the Titans but her date of being a touchable was approaching and she`d get to be able to have friends if someone so chose to have  her as one. She bit her lip when he talking about being mean to her, she frowned slightly and looked at him. "I like nice, its rather pleasant."  She smiled softly and began to move to the lake only to be stopped by him asking what made her think he knew how to swim. 

Elodie turned to him and smiled softly at him. "You can swim can you not?" A smile covered her face and she moved to take his hands in her own. She bite her lip and pulled away from him unhooking her bag pack and placed it down on the ground, she went to remove her shirt pulling it up over her head and turned exposing the whip marks that adorned her back. She frowned slightly and pulled her shirt back down shyly she had forgotten all about those marks and now she`d shown them to another male who wasnt Ramsey. "forgive me......I didnt mean to......" she shook her head and looked down. It wasnt made to upset the male she had done wrong and she`d been punished for it, surely he`d understand being a Titan child and all. She moved to grab her bag and frowned harder as she slipped it on wanting to get away as quickly as possible. She had made a mistake thinking she trust someone, make friends with someone. Elodie bit her lip and turned to run away as fast as she could, she could have been stopped but her heart raced slightly.

Nathan nodded and resisted the urge to snap at her and tell her he knew what an untouchable was. He just never actually said the word but hey, she seemed eager to meet his needs in answering the question so he would let her talk. And as she finished he just prayed to whatever God or Titan was listening that the way Ramsey let her have fun was not what his teenage brain was painting a picture of. It wasn't because he had never had that before by the thought the stick of a person near him engaged in such an act well, it made him want to get Holy Water and douse her in it. Oh gods, was he starting to think in a protective manner? What happened to his vileness. Was it because of her? Something from who she was descended? This was an outrage, he wanted to puke at the thought of him thinking good thoughts and trying to be nice it just wasn't him.

"Yeah, I can imagine. But still. Can't hurt to work together." Nathan said with a slight shrug, no longer looking at her out of slight fear of whatever it was that she had over him. Maybe if he found out who she was descended from it would make more sense instead of him just beating himself up over the entire ordeal in his head. Maybe he would ask soon, if he got the chance obviously.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "Of course I can swim." He said glancing at her and his face went to fifty shades of pink as he watched her lift her shirt but that all disappeared at the marks. His expression immediately turned cold as he walked over to her. "Don't be sorry, what were thos- HEY!" Nathan yelled as she started sprinting off. He groaned in annoyance before going after her trying to wrap his head over what he just saw. They looked like whip marks. It was so out of place from the innocent face she held and the smooth skin it looked as though she had. Who would ever want to hurt her? He couldn't make sense of the situation.

"Eloide wait up!" Nathan yelled, closing the distance between them and once he was close enough he went to grab her arm, maybe a bit too forcefully and with the moon in the air it probably only maybe the grab seem far too strong. "You didn't need to run off like that!" Nathan said, a bit annoyed and angry. He was trying to hide the concern in his voice as he narrowed his eyes at her, he wanted answers and he wanted them now. Granted, he wouldn't hurt her for them, it wasn't the person he was to use brute strength. Wits were what won the game in the end.

[attr="class","summertext"]Elodie had only gotten so far away before she felt the grasp of Nathan on her arm. She cried out his grip was a bit forceful but nothing she wasnt already use to. Her eyes filled with tears when he had said she had not needed to run off like that, of course she did. Ramsey would notice the girls disappearance eventually and she would be punished for running off, it was the curse of being an untouchable and to make things worse a pet to one of the trainers. Elodie held a special case, even when she would become a touchable she`d belong to Ramsey for him to do as he pleased for the rest of her life. She belonged to him like an animal belonged to its master. Elodie didnt mind, she much liked Ramsey and she figured eventually he`d grow to love her too, but she doubted she could ever love anyone the way she loved Sebastian. He would always be her first love and she had though twice about joining camp had she known the cost of losing him would have been so high. She never wanted to lose her family she just wanted a new one.

Elodie looked up at him through tear filled eyes and tried to pull her arms away. "You can`t touch me, I do not belong to you." she cried softly and tried to pull herself from his grasp again. If someone caught them his hands on her they`d think she`d either gotten herself into trouble or something much much worse. The tiny girl fought slightly her arm still locked in his grasp she sniffled and finally collapsed on the ground her arm still in the air as she frowned up at him. "Ramsey will notice I`m gone, I cant stay and play with you.......I`m sorry I wish I could but I dont want either of us getting in trouble, you are far to nice to me.." Elodie wiped at her eyes and looked at the male her heart broken. She liked Nathan he was kind and she wanted a friend but she knew befriending a titan was never a safe bet. She could be executed, punished, or worse she could lose her new love. Ramsey meant the world to Elodie and she wanted nothing more than to make him happy, friendship was nonexistent on this island and so she made herself a vow there in that moment, if friendship did exist and he wanted to be her friend he`d understand and let her go. 

Fearfully Elodie looked back in the direction she had come from, the yelling and screaming had died down which meant that eventually Ramsey would come to untie her and take her back to the cells. If she ran now she would make it to the edge of the island but there was no way off the island without a ship. She had no choice but to try to run away from the man holding her to get back to the man that would cage her. "Please Nathan, if you care anything about my well being you`ll release me so that I may go back to where it is I am suppose to be. I snuck away and I broke the rules and for that I am sorry but I must go back now before he sees that I am gone." Elodie frowned up at the male and decided that if he didnt let her go she`d have her answer. "You can walk with me and I`ll explain everything and anything you want to know but I must go now." She pleaded and pulled herself up trying to lead him in the direction she wanted to go.

You Got A Friend In Me

Nathan let go of her hand when she mentioned her status and the rules applied to it. He still was figuring that out. It was a tad well, much in his opinion. He didn't think the term untouchable literally meant you couldn't touch them. Then again, some might think he was stupid for thinking of anything less than that. Plus, he wanted to let go of her because he hurt her. It wasn't his intention of course, he just wasn't aware of his own strength at times. It could have been much worse too if he had been striking out to grab her in anger. Besides, she was very emotional at it too as he looked at her on the ground sniffling, letting her fears come out.


He understood why someone would be afraid of Ramsey, he was an intimidating person from what Nathan had seen of him. Made him glad that this Ramsey character was on their side rather than with any of their enemies. Trying to imagine what it would be like to meet such a person on the battlefield, well, Nathan imagined it wouldn't be pleasant at all. 


He sighed. "Fine, I wouldn't want you to get in trouble, not only would you get punished but I'm sure it'll find it's way back to me too and then we'd both be regretting it." Nathan said, obviously with a bit of annoyance in his tone but oh well, it needed to be done. "That Ramser guy sounds like he's a right stick in the mud though." Nathan said as he stuck his hands in his pockets and followed along beside her. He didn't want to be walking in silence but he also didn't want to press her for a topic that might sen her into a fit again. Girls were confusing after all. Plus, this girl, despite being mousey was also an emotional wreck. One second being eager, the next afraid and then follow it along with crying and then being semi-happy? Heck, Nathan didn't know. Maybe this girls hormones were crazy or she was just crazy herself. If he was a huge jerk he might have been blunt and just ask but he knew better, if his father had been alive still and heard that his son even considered that Nathan would find himself unable to sit for an entire week.
