A year gone?

[Deleted]

Alison didn't want to go to sleep last night. She knew the dream she was going to have it was the same like every night for a whole year now. Just like every dream she was running and running. When she turned behind her nothing but darkness but in front of her was nothing but trees. She finally stopped when a hodded figure was in front of her. They had their head down so she couldn't see their face. Alison reached out to try and take the hood off but the person lifted their head and there he was. A face she had not seen in over a year, someone who she did secretly love. Sebastian Crane. She started to panic because she didn't understand what was going on but when he tried to reach out and touch alison's face she started to fall again. Alison woke up in a bolt of panic and almost started to scream but had to put her hand over her mouth so she wouldnt scream.

Alison took a look around and tried to ground herself. She almost started to have a panic attack so she looked around and started to ground herself. She calmed down and finally remembered this was her own tent. She could have screamed but woke someone else up in another tent. Which would have been worse then waking someone up in her own tent. Sighing Alison put on some shorts and a tank top. She didnt notice that the shorts showed off the scar that wa left after getting impaled with a trident. She didnt care anymore honestly, everybody had their scars. She had hers what was there to be scared of? Alison needed to think about her dream. She still did not understand what it even meant. Was seb finally coming to the camp? Or was her mind just playing tricks on her. It didnt even matter if he came to the camp because he was in love with kade the last she heard. Then again a lot can change in a year. Alison still loved him but she knew he didnt really love her.

Alison found herself on the beach and sighed. Being on a beach reminder her to much of her ex and of seb. Her ex was the beach goddess son and seb well he was the son of the titan who used to rule the sea. Oceanice or something like that right? Sitting down in the sand alison found a stick and started to draw in the sand. She didn't know what she was drawing nor did she honestly care. She was letting her mind wonder and think for itself. Where ever her mind went she was going to let it stay there.

[Sebastian Crane]

Sebastian Crane missed the familiarity of Camp Half Blood, where he knew all the ins and outs of the sea that bordered the beach. Despite the fact that there was actually a goddess of the beach, Sebastian felt that he was king of that beach in particular, especially since he and Judas had various stashes of alcohol hidden beneath the sand. That beach was where had sex with various women, Eden, Kade, Celestia, and Ali to name a few, and he knew that he would always remember it for all the good memories he had there and not the bad ones. The same beach that he had made so much love on was also the host to much tragedy in his time at Camp Half Blood, and he certain that a lot of bloodshed had occurred on that same beach while he was serving his sentence in the underworld.

Sebastian sat half in and half out of the water, his worn jeans rolled up to his knees and his feet bare. He soaked his feet in the ocean water, enjoying the grainy texture of the salt against his skin in the cool breeze of the night. The thought of all the women he had slept with had triggered a flash black, and the memory of his time in the underworld came back to him. The dominatrix had taken over two hundred years worth of sexual partners and managed to squeeze then all into one terrible, violating, and PTSD ridden year. Sebastian didn't even know how many different faces he had seen doing unspeakable acts to him during that time, but he did know that out of all of them the one that the dominatrix just couldn't properly capture was none other than Alison Flame. Alison was... He wasn't quite sure how to explain Alison's demeanor, but the actions that haunted his nightmares were so out of character for this girl that Sebastian found himself unable to believe the dominatrix's performance while taking Alison's form and, eventually, the act itself was scraped all together.

Zeus above and Hades below, he thought to himself internally as he looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching, I really should have never watched Beetlejuice.... Almost as if his thoughts alone had summoned her, Alison Flame approached him as a cool night breeze picked up and tousled her hair gently, not that she seemed to notice. Ali seemed to be in a daze, or at least he hoped that was the case and this wasn't her legitimate reaction to seeing him returned. Perhaps she was lost in thought or maybe she was just sleepwalking, but either way Sebastian found it extremely odd that she had taken a seat next to him, picked up a stick, started drawing in the sand, and hadn't even acknowledged his existence yet. Ever the impatient and quick to be frustrated, Sebastian gave her shoulder a push and arched an eyebrow in amusement.

"Alison Flame, how dare you ignore my presence, you teasing little minx," he joked.

Alison did not want to even be thinking right now, but what else was she supposed to do. She saw seb in her dream and he was the hooded figure she kept seeing all the time. Did that mean that he was going to randomly show up one day. She couldn't imagine seeing him again, he didn't even actually love her. He was constantly telling her before that he loved Kade, but then he would have sex with her. She didn't even understand why she always let him either. She was just a confused girl who did not even know her own feelings for anyone. Alison sighed a little but wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear. Alison was still drawing in the sand when she finally stopped to look at it. It honestly didn't look like anything to her but to someone else it could look like something. Then she felt her shoulder being pushed slightly and she almost started to freak out, until she heard the voice. Sebastian? She thought to herself. Alison turned to see him and she could feel her heart beat speed up.

"Sebastian?" She spoke hardly a whisper. She wasn't sure her own voice worked right now. Alison could feel a bunch of different emotions playing inside her all at once. She wasn't sure if she should be happy, or upset because he had been gone for a whole year. She honestly did not even know where he had been that whole year. Judas told her that her dream could have been about someone she missed, and she could agree to that. She did miss Sebastian, she missed him more than she missed the medic tent right now. That tent was basically her whole life right now so that meant something. She moved closer to him and then took her arms wrapping them around his neck and hugging him tightly. She honestly missed him a whole bunch and was really glad he was back. She didn't care that he had been missing for a whole year honestly.

"I missed you." She said finally being able to find her actual voice to seb could hear her this time. She really did miss him and she didn't know how much she missed him until she saw him. Alison didn't want to let go of Seb ever, she missed him so much and didn't want to ruin the chance of him leaving again. She pulled away ever so slightly so she could look into his eyes, "Where were you?" She asked him. She was honestly terrified to know where he was this past year but she needed to know. Her dream made no sense to her but she didn't even care about it right now. All she cared about was finding out if Seb was okay or not right now. She had missed him so much and she didn't even fully understand why she missed him as much as she did. Looking at him right now she could see how much his outside changed this past year. She could only hope the man she knew didn't change.
