<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/Rina1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Rina Aoki (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10253475#msg10253475)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Demeter<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Camp Entryway<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 21st, 9am<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>OPEN<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing this (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=128535335)<br/><hr/>Rina felt a whole mix of emotions as she stood outside the entrance of the camp. She was happy, excited, nervous...sad. She had no idea what kind of place to expect, and that made her quite nervous. Of course, she was sad because she would have to be away from her father. But at the same time, she was relieved that she would be away from her step-mother.<br/><br/><em>"Mamoru, she's not <strong>our</strong> daughter! She's <strong>yours</strong>! I have no idea why she is the way she is!"<br/><br/>"Miki, please! We've been over this! When we got married, you had no problems claiming her as your own! Now that she's different, you don't want anything to do with her??"<br/><br/>"Oh please! You hid this from me! Just like you hid it from her for years! She's - "<br/><br/>"I didn't hide it from her! She was too young to understand, so I waited until she was older. That's it."<br/><br/>"You hid it from <strong>me</strong>!"<br/><br/>"Because I didn't want you to react exactly how you're reacting now! So what if she's different? Is that reason enough to shun her? Have her family turn their back on her?"<br/><br/>"You're her family..."<br/><br/>"Miki, she's going to the camp. She'll be around others like her, and - "<br/><br/>"Good! Let her go! Keep her away from my kids. Let her be with other freaks like her!"</em><br/><br/>That was the first time Rina had heard Miki call her a freak. Granted, it wasn't to her face. But it still hurt nonetheless. The woman had cared for her as if she was her own daughter. Now that Rina was different, it was as if she was some sort of dangerous alien creature in her own home. Her siblings never seemed to mind, and her father always stood up to defend her. It really did make her feel like she was loved. At least by her father.<br/><br/>But here she was, standing at the entrance of this camp that claimed to be a safe haven for people like her. A place where they could learn to harness their powers; control them. The young girl shifted her weight from one foot to the other, still feeling nervous. Though she couldn't quite figure out why. This was a good thing, wasn't it? A fresh start, and a chance to find people who were like her. She wouldn't feel so alone anymore.<br/><br/>Picking up the few bags with her belongings, Rina took a step forward and crossed the barrier into the camp.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Italics</div><div class="spoiler_body">The italics are a flashback, and the conversation is in Japanese.</div></div>
