Chapter Two

Juno heard birds twittering and the sun was in her eyes, but she kept her eyes squeezed shut.

It was a dream, she told herself. I dreamed that someone found me and invited me to stay with her, and when I open my eyes I'll be alone.

She heard some leaves rustling.

Just the wind, Juno told herself, but the voices of nature kept her from going back to sleep.

" Okay, okay. I'm getting up."

Juno felt something clinging on to her. She looked and saw it was Lucy who was holding her and was still asleep. Juno felt like a balloon filled with happiness just swelled up inside her. She wasn't alone, and she wasn't feeling desperate. But then suddenly, her head was exploding with questions like fireworks. Who was this girl that was holding her? Was she hurt? Where did she come from?

Juno gently pried the sleeping teen's arms off her and crawled out of the burrow. She went down to the river that was nearby to wash up. She took off her nightgown and went knee deep in shallow water. Her wound on her knee had not completely healed yet, so Juno found a leave that had not yet changed color and was not brittle, but made sure first that it wasn't poison ivy. She went down further to waist deep and then went under the water. Juno popped back up immediately. Her skin was a mass of goosebumps, but Juno did the best she could to wash the dirt off herself. She tried to wash her nightgown too, but it was pretty hard, considering the circumstances.

Juno put her now wet nightgown back on and tried to do something about her hair, but she was short-handed. She went back to the burrow to see if Lucy was awake.

She was. Juno crawled back into the burrow and snuggled against her. She felt strangely safe as long as she was with her.

" Why are you here?" Juno asked before she could stop herself. Lucy didn't answer and stroked the little girls hair, struck by the two little horns. Juno sighed and snuggled closer. She found a twig on the ground and toyed with it, twisting and turning, until it broke.

" I wanted to ask this before. Why are you hurt?" Juno asked. She saw a small green leaf on the ground and put it on Lucy's arm to make some use for a bandage. Lucy smiled down weakly at the little girl, but her eyes were sad.

" Are you sure you want me to answer that?" Lucy asked Juno, who was looking up at her with big wondering eyes. Juno nodded.

" Well, it started-"

Juno interrupted by grabbing Lucy's arm. Suddenly, her eyes were scared and tearful. She was also trembling.

" What's wrong?"

Juno took a breath of air. " I heard people coming nearby. I heard them talking. They're the same ones who captured you."

Lucy's heart cracked open.

" I heard them say," Juno told her. " They've come for YOU!"

Now it was Lucy who was trembling with fear. Suddenly, a little voice sounding with complete love, but also desperation, that Lucy had never heard before yelled in her mind.

" RUN!"

Lucy got out of the burrow, grabbed Juno, and ran into a deeper, darker part of the forest.

Well, there's Chapter Two! These chapters might look pretty short, and don't be surprised if you see some bold area in some part of the chapters. This keyboard might probably be different on this site on a tablet (LOL) Anyway, looks like Juno's going to be staying with Lucy, considering that they almost got caught. And do you think that little voice in Lucy's head was an unknown personality? Give me your answers on what you think in the comments. Peace out! ;)
