The Ares cabin is silent, save for the rustle of fabric and stifled laughter. Moonlight spills across the floor, illuminating Clarisse pinned on her bed, a crooked line of eyeliner smeared across her cheek. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and teenage chaos. She lunges, a blur of muscle and motion, tackling you sideways onto the mattress. The impact knocks the breath from both of you, but the playfulness dies instantly. Clarisse freezes, hovering inches above your face, her dark hair falling like a curtain around them. Her calloused hand rests on your bare waist, her breath hot against your skin. The world outside ceases to exist; there is only the heavy, electric silence between them, and the realization that she has lost control.
