Lupe & Diego Bellemont.
"Ah, a friend of yours, Iego?" Lupe asked Diego, bumping his shoulder. Some little girl, who dragged a little boy, walked up to Diego. A cute little black girl. Lupe had to admit that the Asian kid was cute too. Wonder how they got sent here. But whatever. They weren't her problem here. She shifted her weight to one hip (Putting a hand on that hip) and looked down at the two. Crossing her arms. She looked at Diego, who seemed to be interacting with them more than. Hell, the two didn't even acknowledge she was here. Figures. They are young after all. Though, there was that brief look. "Hi," Lupe said. With a forced ear-to-ear smile. Her usual routine worked fine when she was talking to people her age, but she had to watch what she said and did around children. Since they're a whole new thing entirely.
The first thing Diego did was scratch the back of his neck. Jeez. He did forget about Shiloh. With the chaos of the boys cabin, and the speech, he kinda forgot. Is that his fault? Yeah, he blamed himself for that one. "Yeah..." He groaned, looking away. His gaze fell on Lupe, who shrugged. Damn. He's gonna be handling this one himself. "We can finish later, but first I have to get back my guitar." He felt like he was dodging the question of was he okay. He couldn't answer that question. Sure the wound's gone, but he got attacked by something.... He didn't want to be looking over his shoulder all the time.
'Luther... he knows something, kid. There is something out there. It was no bear or lion. A beast, yes.' Agni whispered in the back of Diego's head. 'You should go kill it.'
"No, Ag-" Diego almost said out loud before he caught himself. Last thing he wanted to do was announce that he had a Demon within him. Or that he says weird random things sometimes. Save that for later. 'No- Actually, how do you suppose we go about finding it?'
'It's a beast. What you did to it had weakened it. It's likely hiding, licking it's wounds. It couldn't have gone far.' Agni said. 'But allow me to put it in another perspective... It was a beast on the prowl for food. You were it's prey until you had proved you weren't easy. It will get desperate.' Time stopped. The world froze. Everything began to burn away. Lupe, Shiloh, Cody, each of them erupted into flames. Until there was nothing left. But a memory. 'It will come closer to camp, go for the people you care about. That little girl you've taken a shining to.... would you want her to get hurt by that thing?'
Diego immediately clenched his fists. And the "tattoos" on his body started glowing with a firey light. Visible through his black clothes. Heat emanated off his body. What Agni was doing was low. Trying to get him to fight and flex his power. He hated this. Hated it, hated it, hated it. 'No, I don't. I... I'm going to find-.'
"... You okay there, Diego?" Lupe asked him. Realizing that he was standing there. Not a word came out of his mouth, but he had that look on his face like he was going to say something.
That was when Diego realized what he was doing. He huffed and deactivated his power. The lights and heat dispersed fast. He sighed. "I'm fine. Nobody needs to worry about me."
'Good, boy. You're finally getting it.' Agni said. While Diego couldn't visualize it, he just knew the apparition was smiling. Grinning in some sort of sort pleasure. He hates this.
Diego tried to regain his composure. He shrugged. "Yeah, I just tripped and cut myself in the woods. Clumsy me." He said to Shiloh. While there was a beast out there, he didn't want to scare these kids. So he was just going to pass it off as some self inflicted injury just to keep them fine. This was his fight against the mysterious "beast of the forest", and he wasn't going to drag them into this. Alright, if he's gonna do this, then he's going to need some help.
Lupe got tired of standing around outside. Time to head into this stupid Lodge. People were gathering in there, and she had better things to do than stand around and talk to kids. The party was in there and just waiting for her! "How about we continue this conversation inside?" She asked, before she dragged Diego inside by the wrist.
"Hey, wait!" Diego didn't want to pulled away from Shiloh so fast, but whatever. He just felt Agni rolling his eyes.
Inside, Lupe stopped for a moment, and looked around. She turned towards Diego, "I'm going to use my magnetic personality to get some people to help us. You stick around. Adiós!" Lupe strutted off. Now, if she was going to tackle this monster Diego spoke of, then she's going to need some help (AKA. People to watch her thrash it). But who? She noticed some other black girl, a few years youngers than herself, walk in, along with a few others. While this girl wasn't too interesting, she could be of use. If not, then she'll be useful elsewhere. "Oh, yoohoo!" She exclaimed to Darcy. "You wanna talk, sista? I got much to talk about!" She made sure to force a lot of her accent into her speech.
What a... Well, Diego didn't know what to say. There was such a contrast between himself and his sister that he didn't know how she could do it. Diego found himself sinking up against the wall, with his hands in his pockets. Alone in his thoughts... Not exactly.
He has Agni.
