Lindsey

11 am, June 9th

After me and the mad lady stop talking it's already 11. When I go outside I see the other Hunters doing their chores but looking a bit sad. I'm guessing that they all feel bad about me having the flashback even though they didn't cause it. I walk over to Morg.

"Hey Morg, is there anything I can do to help you?" I really don't want to lazy around all day and I don't think they'll let me go and get more pads and stuff.

She looks up in shock and starts to mother all over me. "Lin, you know that you should be in bed still? When did you wake up?"

"An hour ago..." Um... I'm not going to get to do anything...

"Back to bed, you can not be up and about. Especially since you where out for an hour longer than usual, you know that means that you'll probably get flashbacks more often. You can get the pads tomorrow, you're on bed-" I zoned out since she's going to talk for the next ten minutes and she'll start to herd be back to my bed.

When I started to play attention to the things around me I realized that I was in Maddy's tent... So I was snuggling with her on her bed... And she didn't object..? She normally will stop anyone before they can get comfy on her bed...

Anyways we do have enough pads to last us until tomorrow and I'll be getting them. Whenever I get a flashback no one lets me do work so I get to lay around in bed and do nothing.

Once I get back to my tent I go over to my bookshelf and try to figure out what to read. I have a few books that I got as presents but have never read. I grab one and read the blub; "When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard..." (Wicked by Gregory Maguire). Who gave this to me??? This is not the type of book I like to read. I put it back on the shelf and decide to read the Throne of Glass series again, hope I don't cry again.

I'm about 5 chapters in when someone comes in telling me it's time for lunch, "Lin, stop reading for a few minutes and get some food, also we got some tickets to Lindsey Stirling's Artemis concert, Artemis is going to force everyone to come because she thinks Stirling did a great job at depicting her and she loves her music." Morganna, of course it's her, she's always making sure that we have our food and stuff.

"Ooo, really? Please tell me that she's going to," Finger quotes, "Cosplay as Artemis?"

"Yes, but come on and get some food in you." I start getting up at that but then remember to mark my location. Once I'm up we walk over to the dining tent.

"What's for lunch today, Ann?" I ask.

"Chicken alfredo or normal pasta. You pick."

"Umm, chicken alfredo with extra pasta," She makes extra of everything so I know this won't be an issue.

"Coming right up," As she gets my food ready she asks, "How are you feeling? I heard that you where out for longer than usual."

"Better, I think I was only out longer since I'm on my period and I've never had a session while on it." I hope that was the reason and not because they'll start to get worse and longer.

"Oh yeah, do you and Maddie have enough pads to last till tomorrow?"

"Yes, but unless we get them by day after tomorrow, we'll have to resort to tampons for day and a pad for night, and you know how uncomfortable it is to wear one and still do the stuff we do." It's such a horror whenever someone has to wear one all day.

"Ok then, you'll go to Camp tomorrow? Also once you get back from there you'll have to dress up in the outfit that will be on your bed," How many times will we be forced to dress up for something *cough cough* Halloween *cough cough* because our esteemed leader wants to match? "Anyways, foods ready."
After everyone gets here we eat.

As we all get our food and sit down the cramps hit me, "Ana? Can I have some chocolate for dessert?"
"Why do you have to ask? You know we always have it when it's needed," Yes, I know, but sometimes we run out of that stuff.

"Just making sure, you never know," I feel bad that Lin has to get stuff by herself. I was planning to bring her along and teach her the best way to get to the Camp, but nope, it just had to be bad this time. Also she had a session earlier so.... She's even more vulnerable for the next week even if she doesn't acknowledge it.
After we finish eating I end up dragging Lin back to her mini library that she has partly stolen from Theo, otherwise she would have tried to go and keep practicing. "Now stay here, or else you don't get any pads."
"But why????? I'm the one who's getting them," She whines.

"Because you need to rest," I answer shortly, I finally have something to make her stay put!

"Fineeeeeeee," After a little bit of stalking her I go, she was whining about me being there.

"-Ow remember, go north for 15 miles then go west until you see the city, after that you know what to do." I lecture her, She's probably zoned out by now but if I say it enough, she'll remember it.

"I know, I know. You've only said it 50 times," Like I said, if I say it enough she'll remember. But I wonder when she'll pick up my hints.

After a little while she leaves and I go around camp making sure others are doing what's needed. Once I finish with that I go to my tent and start finishing me and Lindsey's outfits with the others having bought theirs, lazy people. Mine is a lovely sage green while Lin's is more of a blue-green, both being a crop-top that goes down about 3 inches under with tassels reaching down another 5, and a skirt that go down to the top of knees and starts going up to mid-thigh with more tassels making it go to mid-calf. My tassels are light pink and Lin's are navy blue.

I finish all the tassels on Lin's first then start working on mine, there are sooo many! Sadly we don't do tassels that much otherwise we'd have a machine.

I've finally finished with mine so now I get to start attaching them to the tops and skirts, once I finish with those I try on my outfit and it only needs a bit of trimming then it's done, the top fits so nicely and is comfy. As I'm spinning around with the tassels flying around me someone calls out, "Maddie, I'm back, where do you want me to put the pads?"

"You can put them in the outhouse, I just finished with the outfits so come and get it from me so I can make small adjustments." I call back, maybe she'll get the hint soon?

"Ok," I hear as Lin walks away.

Sorry to anyone that has read any of this and wanted more, I kinda forgot about it and then wrote a chapter late at night and then forgot to publish it the next day
