Another update! Hooray! We felt like you guys deserved it after the long hiatus. I also plan to update on Sunday as well, so think of this as a bonus to get the story closer to the action!
Disclaimer: We own nothing except for Chelsea, Reece and Roxy. Sadly our lawyers fell through. I know, we're upset about it, too.
Reece's POV:
It was incredibly hard to call a truce with Chelsea. All my time at camp she'd been tormenting me. But being angry and hurting each other emotionally and physically wasn't going to help this quest be over faster. I just want the quest to be over. I'm not going back to camp when it's over either, I plan on going to visit my dad. I don't even care if I get beat up by monsters. I have to see my dad. I have to see him. I last saw him when I was ten, and four years is too long.
I think my mom liked my dad because he had the worst luck, and is just the opposite of Tyche. I wish that he had better luck though, then he might not have disappeared. I think I got my luck from him. Except for the never lose at a bet part, I'm not too lucky.
I decide to think about something else.
My quest mates are sleeping peacefully, Chelsea has her headphones in and is drooling a little. Roxy's cradling her hand and looking like she's having a good dream, lucky her. Despite the crushed hand thing, I've never met someone not a kid of Tyche with that much luck. She gets to see her dad during the school year, she hasn't had any nightmares yet, and she gets along with everyone. If she wasn't my friend I'd probably not like her. I look back at Chelsea and wonder what she's dreaming about, if she's dreaming at all. My nightmares had featured the Minotaur chasing a foster family I'd been in. I wonder if Chelsea knows I saw her almost crying. Probably not.
There's a noise a little way off, probably a rabbit but I'm bored so I go investigate. The noise leads me to a small cave nearby, it's too dark for me to see properly, and I don't know where my flashlight is. It's quiet for a second, so I'm about to go back when thunk, a rock hits me in the head, and I'm out like a light.
Ooh, cliffhanger! MWAHAHA we're evil
Be prepared for a LONG chapter next time ~ more fights! And more of Chelsea's sass, which is ALWAYS fun to write. Until next time!
