Sitting around on the front steps of my cabin was not how I wanted to spend my last day of summer. I absently traced my finger over the engravings on the black obsidian stairs. Which kind of made me more depressed because they were not pictures of innocent little flowers, no. They mimicked scenes of the most tragic things to ever happen in history:wars, betrayal, deaths of puppies. A deep sigh found it's way out of my mouth. I raised my head to look at the sunset, but instead saw the torso of a girl blocking the scene. I looked up and saw that it was Indigo.
"Hey," she said with the perky voice that never seemed to match the fact that she was a daughter of Thanatos.
"Hi." I replied.
"What are you doing here? It's the last day of summer!" She said.
"I don't want to do anything." I said. Yes, I know, I probably sounded like a stubborn, spoiled four year old. I knew that Indogo didn't deserve this kind of treatment, but I couldn't help it. I thought of a snarky comment in my mind, and then it just shoots out, like poisonous snakes attacking their prey. I clamped my hands over my mouth, to keep myself from saying anything mean. I knew that Indigo was depressed too. In the Titan War, she watched a monster killed her friend. This is the first time I've seen her happy since that horrible day. I sighed as I reluctantly got up.
"So... do you want to do something?" I asked.
She brightened up even more when I said that. After a moment of thought, she said, "Sure!"
We both knew where we were going:the lake.
