Chapter 4: Bailey

A/N: Bent to Fly by Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators symbolizes Bailey's ambition to learn more about herself. She knows there is something she's here for, and she's got the wind at her shoulders.


I walked with Monica back to the campgrounds. I couldn't talk. I just didn't know what to say, especially to my best friends' sisters' killer. Finally, Monica broke the silence.

"Are you okay?" She asked me, knowing that I probably wouldn't answer but I looked at her, opened my mouth, but closed it not knowing how to answer. She nodded then said, "Listen, I know if you don't want to talk to me. I mean if I were you, I wouldn't talk to me either." I chuckled softly when she said that. She giggled.

"I guess I'm just startled. I mean I've never seen Jezabel freak out like that." She nodded and with that we were back at the camp. Monica sighed and held out her hand.


"By the way, I'm Monica Diaz, daughter of Aphrodite." I shook her hand and introduced myself as well. "I'm Bailey Johnston, daughter of Hades." She smiled and bid me goodbye before going to her cabin. I went over to the Hades cabin and sat on the porch, waiting for Jezabel and Amanda.

Next thing I knew, I woke up startled. It was dark out. I heard a door slam and I looked around.

"Amanda? Jez? Is that you guys?" I stood up and stretched. There was no one outside so I figured I would just go inside the cabin. I turned around and opened the cabin door, not turning on the light so Jez and Amanda weren't bothered. I heard their steady breathing as they lay in their bunks. I quietly walked over to my bed trying to avoid the creaky spots in the floor. But, it seemed almost impossible. Every step I took, all I heard was 'CREAK, CREAK CREEEAAK!' Those damned floors have to get fixed. After crossing what felt like a million miles, I got to my bed. I lay down and fell back asleep.

"BAILEY!!!!" I heard my name being called from across the cabin. I woke up and shouted back.


"What Do You Want? I Am Still Tryin' To Sleep!" It was Jezabel. She wanted to tell me that it was time for breakfast. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes and looking at my watch. It was ten in the morning.

"Alright. I've gotta get dressed."

After I got dressed and looked at least halfway decent, I walked out of the cabin and caught up with Jez and Amanda. We got to the dining hall and I immediately spotted Monica. I think Jezabel spotted her too because her eyes flared angrily. I placed my hand on her shoulder gently but she brushed it off and stormed over to Monica. Amanda and I followed close behind Jez. As we approached Monica, she looked nervous. Okay, more like, terrified. Jezabel grabbed a handful of Monica's hair and yanked her head back very hard. I snatched Jez back and Amanda went to comfort Monica. Even though Amanda was upset, I guess she still had sympathy for Monica. I mean they are, or were, really good friends. I don't know if that is still the case but I could tell that Jezabel was enraged and more than likely going to wind up not only killing Monica, but herself as well. Especially if Jezabel gets her hands on this poor girl. As I held Jezabel in my arms, in an almost hugging sort of way, she started to break down again.

"Shh... it's going to be okay, sweetie." I attempted to soothe her but I don't think I had much luck. Jezabel's tears kept falling on the sleeve on my shirt and by then I was drenched in sweat and, my shoulder, tears. I led her towards the Hades dining table and sat down with her, still trying to comfort her. She finally stopped crying but when she looked up at me her eyes were bloodshot. I started to worry a little bit but I knew she would be okay.


"You good?" I asked her softly. She nodded and got up. Amanda was still with Monica, along with other members of the Aphrodite cabin. I got up and walked over to them.

"Hey, sorry about that. I guess she's still a bit jumpy from last night. I mean, it was a pretty late night." Monica looked at me and smiled a bit. I smiled back and ran after Jezabel quickly. I put my arm around her and told her everything's going to be okay. I didn't realize how wrong I was about that.
