Thanks to imagination-gone-wild and Nebula943. I appreciate the reviews. Hope you like this chapter like you liked the last one.
Hector arrived back at the tent before the others. It was always like that, he was the fastest digger in the whole camp.
He climbed in the shower and let the cold water drip onto his face. It felt so good after a day in the hot sun.
When his 4 minutes was up, he wrapped the towel around his waist. He carried his things back to the tent.
When he walked in, he jumped and made sure the towel was wrapped tightly around his body.
Sitting on his cot, was a girl. She had long, curly black hair that fell around her shoulders. Her skin was almost the same colors as Zero's, except hers was lighter. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hello Hector." She said in a sweet voice. Zero stood there in shock. He tried to say something, but the words just wouldn't come. "What's the matter?" She asked him with a worried look on her face.
"Who…who…?" Zero just couldn't say the words.
"Who am I?" She finished his question. "My names Alya." She stood up. Zero noticed she was wearing a floor length white dress.
"How…" Zero took a deep breath and tried to get his thoughts in order. "How'd you know my name?"
Alya giggled. "I hope I know your name." She walked towards him, "I'm you guardian angel."
Zero dodged her and moved sideways. He felt very uncomfortable. "My what?"
She nodded her head. "Your guardian angel." She stopped and thought. "Well, I'm kinda your guardian angel. It's tough to explain."
"You…" Just as Zero was about to ask another question, The boys walked in. He turned to look at them. They froze when they realized Zero was staring at them.
"What's up with him?" Squid asked, walking to his cot.
"I'm telling you," X-Ray said, "That boy is strange."
Zero turned around and looked at Alya. She smiled at him.
"I can explain." He said looking at the guys. They froze again and looked at each other.
"Did he just talk?" Asked Armpit.
"I think so." X-Ray looked at Zero.
Caveman rolled his eyes, "Explain what?" He asked Zero, ignoring the guys.
Just as he was going to explain why Alya was there, Alya had came up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder. "They can't see me." She said, "No one can see or hear me. No one but you."
Zero thought about her words. He looked at each of the guys and tried to decide what to say. "Nothing." He mumbled. "Never mind."
Magnet laughed, "Told you the kid was stupid." The rest of the guys laughed at Zero.
When he turned to look at Alya, she was gone.
I researched all different names and the only one that fit was Alya. It means "sky, heaven, loftiness" in Arabic. If you need character names, go to Behind the Name. Thats where I got this one. :)
