Ivy appeared againg, her eyes blazing. She had spotted someone just before leaving. Todd. She saw him again, standing at the edge of the clearing. Paying no attention to River, she strode over. (magicman suggested I do this) "Well, well. Never thought you'd dare cross my path again Todd. Just as a little warning to your friends, I'll end this now. Nothing personal." Her sword whipped out, striking him in the chest. "So long Todd." She disappeared again. (magicman asked me to, and I kinda forgot)
Anabelle nodded, and slipped off the sleep.
Nicki ran back just in time to see Ivy kill Todd. "No!" She sprinted towards Todd. She checked his pulse, and stood up, her face white. "He's gone."

River turned suddenly, his face paled as he saw Ivy strike Todd and he raced over, striking where Ivy had been, but she was gone. He knelt on the ground next to Todd and said, his voice full of anger, "He can't be dead."

"He is. I swear, by the gods, Ivy is going to pay for this! She's a sick, evil person. There was no point in killing Todd. None at all. We got her warning, the fight was over. And now Todd's dead." She doubled checked his pulse. "Oh, he's gone alright. We've gotta stop Ivy before more demigods get killed. You know she's after Anabelle. She could very well be next."

River's face was suddenly over shadowed and he said, "We'll have his ceremony as soon as we can...I'll get his shroud." Cory walked out and leaned against a post, his eyes dark, but they had a strange glow to them and he said, "Don't hold a grudge because of this River. People die everyday. That's why Aaron and I are here." Cory dissolved then reappeared and reached inside Todd's pocket, a grabbed his weapon, "Nyx was needing this." River stood and grabbed the sword out of Cory's hand, "You've changed, you can't do this!"

Nicki turned to stare at him. "So we're just supposed to be okay with it? This doesn't sound like you Cory."

Cory looked at Nicki, then River and he said, "I'm not the same as I was. But you can keep this...but I warn you, if Nyx wants it. She'll get it." River looked at Cory, "Get out. You aren't welcome here anymore. You disrespect my brother, then me. Get out."

"Anabelle may have a problem with that River. Surely you two can manage to keep from killing each other till she's up and about? Unless of course you've got stuff to Cory. But I'm still not entirely sure what's going on with her. It could be more than exhaustion."

Collin stood in the doorway of the infirmary. "Come on James, she's awake idiot."

(His weapon was around his neck, it's a chain that transforms into a spear)
Cody ran up to where the group was. "What was all the yelling about?" He asked, smile of his face from his last activity. "Have you seen-" His kaleidoscope eyes locked on his dead cousin, changing from a bright blue to black. His smile faded. He felt his throat closing up, his chest hurting, and his eyes watering. Todd laid there, pale and cold, a deep, bloody gash in his chest. He pointed to his cousin and looked at the others. "Who..who did this? I want to know." He hissed through his teeth. He sank to his knees at Todd's side, and brushed his brown hair out of his eyes. Todd's green eyes were open, frozen in fear. Cody brushed his fingertips on his eyelids and gently closed them. He fingered the trident amulet around his neck, gently, he tugged it off and grasped it in his hand. He stood; that's when he started bawling.

(I'm going to continue with Todd just a little more in the Underworld. There's a little business needing to be taken care of)

"Ivy did. Who else would?" Nicki hissed, then gently put her arms around Cody's shoulders. She knew nothing she said would make him feel any better, so she ran back over to Max. "River, help me get him to the infirmary." She said quietly.

River gripped Cody's shoulders and said with a cracking voice, "We'll talk later." He took the trident from Cody's hand and said, "We'll...talk about this too..." He placed it in his pocket and helped Nicki pick up Max. River looked at Cory and said, "You aren't welcome, and you choose to leave the first time you came here, why should anything be different? I stand by my word, you need to leave, but for Anabelle's sake, I'll let you stay before I report you to the Harpies." He turned into the infirmary.
Cory looked after them and the gold aura around his eyes faded and he doubled over on his knees and said, "I could kill those things...but you're lucky I'm not here for them."

Nicki helped Max to a bed, and began binding up his wounds. "He's a bit bruised up, but he'll be fine in a few days. Make sure he drinks some nectar when he comes to, okay? I need to check on Anabelle." She walked over to Anabelle's bed. Anabelle coughed in her sleep, and Nicki's eyes widened slightly. She felt Anabelle's forehead, and noticed she was slightly warm. Just as she had suspected, the deep sleep wasn't the only cause of the spell. She had done some reasearch on it while on Olympus, and had found a long chapter on it. It was an incredibly hard spell to do. She gently pushed Anabelle's hair out of her eyes, and pulled out a book out of her pocket.

River nodded and placed a device by Max's bed and walked out and looked at Cody, "Help me take Todd to his...his...to Chiron." He noticed Cory on his knees, be he didn't care at the moment.
Cory stood up took out his sword shard clicked the hidden clear shard and it turned into the clear sword, he checked what he looked like...not good, everything was getting worse, but this was all part of the process. He stood and walked to the shower house.

Collin had disappeared as soon as Nicki walked in, and sighed as she pulled out a book and sat down. "Come on already James. I don't have all day." He muttered.
Anabelle stirred and opened her eyes. Nicki glanced up, and felt her forehead. It was nice and cool. Anabelle gave her a quizzical look. "You were coughing in you sleep, as well as a slight fever." Nicki replied. "Well, I feel fine. A bit tired though." Nicki nodded, and handed her nectar. "Drink this." Anabelle did, but suddenly jumped, spilling the nectar all over the bed. "Anabelle?" Nicki had jumped to her feet. "I..I thought..for a moment, I saw...Collin. "Anabelle, he's dead." Anabelle said nothing, just looked back at her. Nicki glanced behind her. "I'll be right back." She went outside, to find Collin standing there grinning. "Hey Nicki." Nicki was already drawing her bow, about to yell, when he clamped a hand over her mouth. A shadow beast stood behind him. "Hold onto her for me." The shadow engulfed her while Nicki struggled. "Don't worry. It's only for a moment. And by the time you tell the rest of camp, I'll be long gone." He disppeared into the infirmary. "James, if you don't get here..."
