Arabella padded back into her cabin, tugging on the hem of her shirt. Her shorts and cardigan were bundled up in her arms and her sunglasses were shoved on her face. "Ugh..this wet bikini is getting so uncomfortable" She muttered and Daniel laughed from over on his bed. He had a full on black outfit laid out on his bed; black skinny jeans, black tee shirt, black sneakers. Arabella rolled her eyes a little bit and she flopped down on her bed, curling up into a ball and closing her eyes."Don't fall asleep on me now, we've got to pick out your outfit for tonight" Daniel grinned and Arabella smiled softly.
"I'm not falling asleep. I'm just resting my eyes" Arabella said in a low voice and Daniel laughed from the other side of the room.
"That's what you always say. Right before you fall asleep" Daniel teased. Arabella sat up and she threw a pillow at him before laying back down.
"I'm kind of nervous about tonight. I've never done anything like this before.." She sighed and she rolled off of her bed, walking over to Daniel's bed and sitting down.
"That's because you're no fun" Daniel explained and Arabella shoved him, a tiny smile on her face.
"I'm fun" Arabella huffed, folding her arms across her chest.
"Speaking of fun...wht are you wearing tonight? You need to have a spy outfit that's almost as good as mine" Daniel said, looking down at his folded clothes and smiling a little bit. Arabella shrugged and Daniel sighed at her. He rolled his eyes and he walked over to Arabella's trunk, popping it open and going through it.
"Please don't mess any of my stuff up" Arabella groaned, running her fingers through her wet hair to get rid of the tangles.
"Here. Wear these" Daniel said, pulling out a pair of skin tight pants that looked like leather. He tossed them over to her and Arabella grabbed them with a shocked look on her face.
"I did not buy these" Arabella looked over at Daniel and raised an eyebrow.
"I thought they were hot" He explained with a little shrug and he started going through her stuff again. He pulled out a black tanktop and a pair of black high heeled boots, placing them on her bed. Arabella sighed and she walked over to her bed, tossing the pants down and looking at the outfit that Daniel had picked out for her.
"Danny...this is...this is not me" Arabella laughed, looking over at him with a raised eyebrow. "This is so...sexy" She commented and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"Remember how you were telling me about that guy that saved you and how you needed to find him and I said that I would help you?" Daniel asked and Arabella nodded. "Well, you never know when he'll be looking. For all you know, we could run into him tonight and he'll fall over himself trying to get to you"
"You are a horrible influence" Arabella muttered and she tugged on her shorts, not bothering to change into anything else. The day was almost over and she didn't really want to spend a whole lot of time changing her clothes.
"I was thinking about this guy of yours, by the way" Daniel started and Arabella looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. She didn't really like where this was headed. Daniel didn't always have the best ideas and he was rather impulsive sometimes. "And I was thinking that the best way of finding out who he is, is to get as many people from camp together at once. Which got me thinking and I realized that we should throw a party!"
"Okay...two problems with that. When and where?" Arabella said with a little chuckle and Daniel rolled his eyes, like he didn't expect that he would have to explain this much to her.
"Clearly, we're going to have it at the clearing in the woods since that's where everyone has their parties and we'll have it tomorrow night" Daniel said with a little nod.
"Who throws a party on Sunday night?" Arabella laughed.
"Who has an eternal Greek goddess for a mother? We do!" Daniel said and he gave her arm a smack as he walked back to his bed. "It'll be fun. I promise"
"Whatever you say, Danny" Arabella said in a low voice and she folded the clothes that he had picked out for her neatly.
"I think that I'm going to try to get some sleep before tonight" She told him and she placed her clothes ontop of her trunk at the foot of her bed.
"I knew you were going to fall asleep" Daniel teased, making Arabella roll her eyes. She pulled back the covers of her bed and she crawled under, curling up in a ball.
"I didn't sleep well last night and I want to have all of my energy for tonight" She mummbled and she closed her eyes.
"I have to go plan for this party anyway. I need to tell as many people as possible!" Daniel chuckled
"So you'll have the cabin to yourself"
"Wonderful" Arabella sighed softly and soon enough, she was drifting off to sleep.
------------------------------
Arabella tugged on the hem of her shorts as she walked out of the cabin. It was close to supper time now and she felt a bit better. She was still anxious and nervous about what was going to happen that night but at least she wasn't tired anymore. As she walked down to the mess hall, Arabella smiled and waved at people who passed her. To be totally honest, she didn't really know most of them but they seemed to know her so she said hi back. She looked over and saw Jake giving her a little wave. Arabella smiled and walked over to join him. "Did Danny talk to you?"
"About the party? Yeah, I just saw him." Jake said, shoving his hands in his pockets. Arabella let out a little breath and nodded.
"And you'll tell Hunter?" Arabella asked him.
"You bet"
"Good. I don't know who the heck Danny is going to invite and it'll be nice to know that I'll have friends there" Arabella giggled. As they walked into the mess hall, Arabella gave Jake a little wave and turned to walk to her table. From behind her, she could hear a couple of Jake's brothers talking to him in disbelief; like they couldn't believe that someone like Arabella would talk to someone like Jake. She walked over to the Aphrodite table and she sat down, nervously waiting for her food.
The night passed quickly for Arabella. She was so nervous about the plans that they had for the night so it felt like time had sped up. Soon enough, Arabella and Daniel were waiting outside of their cabin for Brooke. "Ugh...I don't know why you made me wear these pants" Arabella whispered to Daniel, tugging on the hem of her shirt as if she was trying to cover the pants as much as possible.
"Because you look good in them and because you need a pair of skin tight pants for doing stuff like this" Daniel whispered back patiently.
"You know that I have black skinny jeans, right?" Arabella hissed and Daniel rolled his eyes.
"Who wears jeans on a secret mission like this?"
"Who throws a party on a Sunday night?"
"I'm ready!" Brooke said in a low voice, stepping out of the cabin. Arabella looked over at her and put on a smile.
"Okay..let's go. Hunter said that he would be waiting behind the Ares cabin" Arabella told them and she started to walk with Daniel. They took two steps and realized that Brooke wasn't following them. Arabella sighed and looked back at her. "Are you coming or not?"
"When did you talk to Hunter?" Brooke demanded with a hurt look on her face.
"Oh..about 20 minutes ago when I was having sex with him" Arabella said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She didn't have patience for stuff like this from Brooke. "After supper, Brooke, when do you think? Do you own him now?"
"Let's just get going" Daniel sighed, putting a hand on Arabella's back and pushing her towards the Ares cabin. With a little huff, Arabella followed him, trying to not pay any attention to Brooke. The group of them quickly and quietly walked around the Ares cabin, trying to not bring any attention to themselves. It was late and pitch black outside, which was perfect. When they got around to the back of the Ares cabin, they saw Jake and Hunter with a bag of the stuff that they would need.
"Hey, guys" Arabella whispered with a little smile. She didn't notice the way that their eyes bugged out when they saw her in her outfit or how they quickly got their composure together.
"Okay..so everyone knows the plan? Arabella goes in and tells everyone to fall asleep until we leave then Daniel and Brooke put the Kool-Aid in Caleb's shoes" Jake started, looking nervous about the rest of the plan.
"And then Jake and I go in, tie Caleb to the bed and dump the marshmallows on him" Hunter nodded.
"Such a waste of marshmallows" Arabella sighed, smiling a little bit. She took a deep breath before walking over to the guys. "Good luck" She said softly, hugging Jake then moving over to hug Hunter. "Please be careful" She added. Brooke sighed from behind her and walked over to Hunter, slipping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply; like she was trying to make a point. Arabella cleared her throat and after a few moments, Daniel grabbed Brooke, pulling her away from Hunter.
"See you two later" Daniel huffed and he walked around to the front of the Ares cabin, dragging Brooke with him and Arabella walking by his side, holding the Kool-Aid. Brooke and Daniel knelt down by the door as Arabella slowly opened it and stepped inside.
Her heart was racing and her stomach was a pile of nerves. What they were about to do could go very, very wrong but she remembered everything that Caleb has ever said to her and she felt a rush of anger. He deserved this. If anyone deserved this, it was Caleb. When she opened the door and stepped inside of the cabin, people started to stir. Someone groaned and sat up with an angry look on his face. "Who is stupid enough to wake us up?" He grummbled. His eyes landed on Arabella and a few of his brothers started to wake up, including Caleb. Most of the guys looked at Arabella and grinned, like their dreams were coming true.
"I thought I would come by to say hello" Arabella said with a warm smile. There was a pause and then her face got serious. "Fall asleep. You're all really tired and you're going to need to fall asleep." She said, putting all of her power and he energy into her words. "Fall asleep and stay asleep for the rest of the night. Nothing will wake you up tonight" She added and she watched as eveyone that had woken up fell back on their beds, snoring. The people who had stayed asleep snorted and rolled over, still asleep. Arabella grinned to herself and she walked out of the cabin.
"They're all asleep?" Daniel whispered.
"Every single one of them" Arabella told him, her voice filled with pride. She took a few steps away from the cabin as Daniel and Brooke tiptoed in. It was a beautiful, warm night with a light breeze coming off of the ocean. Arabella was looking forward to this whole thing being over. They would laugh about it and Caleb would feel like an idiot. It was perfect.
After a few moments, Brooke and Daniel walked out and together. The three of them stood off to the side and waited for Hunter and Jake to tiptoe into the cabin. As soon as they saw them, the group ran back to the Aphrodite cabin. Daniel and Brooke quickly went to bed but Arabella stayed up, waiting on the porch of the Aphrodite cabin. She wanted to make sure that Jake and Hunter weren't in too much trouble. If it looked like Jake was going to kill them, Arabella could step in and use her charmspeak to get Caleb to back off.
