Author's note: First off, please don't kill me for taking so long. Second, sorry it is so short, but something is better than nothing right? Right?!
Second Encounter
Chapter 7: Unbeknownst to Me
"Glitch,' she was crouched down next to the drenched man, it had been a few minutes since they all had been dragged out of the lake, "Are you ok?'
He nodded, breathing normally now and watching her worriedly. "Are you ok? You have never been able to swim."
DG glanced out at the water. "Yeah, I tried once to learn but…" her bright eyes whipped back around to lock on him.
"Wait. I haven't said anything about that to you. How did you know?
Glitch lifted his dark eyes to the clear sky and pondered for a second. "You know, I have no idea." he smiled, but it soon faded into puzzlement "It felt like I've always known."
"But that's not possible we just met a few days ago, and--"
The raggedly dressed man wasn't listening, his face had become calm and expressionless.
"--I've never been here before."
The Zipperhead blinked, then gave his head a shake sending drops of water everywhere.
"Glitch!" DG exclaimed, covering her face as the cold liquid hit her drying skin.
He looked over and his face lit up happily. "Oh! Hi! Have we met before? Why am I wet?"
DG sighed, she had been so close to unlocking another clue to the puzzle. Glitch's glitches always seemed to happen at the worst times.
"You went for a swim" She said sadly as he tilted his head slightly.
