"Bambi." Will pulled me out of my daze.
"Yeah?" I asked looking at him.
"Uh, you okay?" he asked suspiciously.
"Perfect.  Why?" I answered biting my lip.
"You looked angry." he said worriedly.
"Oh.  Sorry, I'm fine." I said looking down.
"Something you wanna get off your chest?" he asked trying to look me in the eyes.
"Yeah." I admitted pressing my head against the exterior wall of the Hades Cabin.
"What is it?" he asked looking at me.
"You see this scar?" I traced the scar right below my left eye.
"Yeah." he answered.
"I-I was abused." I admitted sadly looking down.
"What?!!?" I could tell without looking at him that he was shocked and pissed.
"It was a year ago." I said trying to reassure him.
"Who did it?" he asked infuriated standing up.
"My mom and step-dad." I said, "But-but Will it's fine." I stood and took his hands and looked him in the eyes.
"Fine?" he was officially beyond pissed, "Bambi!"
"Will, it's okay!" I said worried about his temper.
"Okay?  Yeah right!  Bambi, your parents abused you and it's okay?  It's fine?  They left scars, Amber!" he screamed taking his hands from mine and balling them into fists.
"It was so long ago!  Now, I'm across the country in a new, better home.  I'm safe here at Camp Half-Blood.  They can't hurt me anymore, I'm not a weak, little girl like I was then.  I can stand up for myself if somehow I see them.  Will, I'm here, safe, protected-"
"Fine." he sighed and unballed his fists and his expression softened.
"I just had-had," I mumbled, "To get it off my chest."
"Just had to get it off your chest?" he raised an eyebrow.
"To get it off my chest." I assured him putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Alright." he said nodding his head and pulling me into a hug.
"Will."
"Yeah?"
"I gotta go, I-I'm so sorry."
"It's fine, you can go."
"Thanks, Solace."
"You're welcome, Lawson."
I ran to where I hoped Silena would be.
