The Unknown

Maren's POV

She had been traveling for two nights now; she was tired and needed to rest. After leaving everyone she knew 'clean' she summoned her Pegasus, a beautiful white Pegasus, and began her journey to camp half-blood where, she knew, she would find Liany. Maren had thought about how it would be to see Liany again and she had mixed feelings about it; she was going to ask questions that didn't have a pleasant answer. Nevertheless it was going to happen eventually, so why not now?

As she got closer to the barrier she knew it was time to land. She landed right in front of half-blood hill and dismounted. She walked towards the camp and when through the barrier. It was somewhere around two am and of course she imagined Liany would be sleeping in one f the cabins, Hermes' perhaps. Camp seemed very quiet; not at all what she expected after hearing all the wonderful stories about the Greek camp, then again who would be awake at two am?

She was somewhat exited about camp to be honest; she was going to meet her siblings and be accepted like one of them, plus she got to be with her friend. She couldn't ask for anything else. As she approached her own cabin she felt a cold mist graze her back. Mother, were the only thoughts on her mind at that moment. She turned around to face her mother

"It's been a very long time mother" she said kneeling down and bowing with respect "and if I may ask, what do you wish of me tonight my lady? I don't mean to be rude but I know you are not here to welcome me"

The goddess seemed pleased with her daughters wits "you cannot stay here and you know it, it would change the curse of things and perhaps create an even greater catastrophe. As the goddess of crossroads I have to offer you a choice. Leave camp and help me on with a very important task, or stay here and risk everyone's life for a few months of peace with your friend. Your choice"

Maren stared at her mother for a long time, Liany would be angry if people got hurt because of her but she didn't want to leave ether! "Will I see her again if I leave camp?" she asked betting all in this one question

"Yes, but not before next summer arrives"

"Can I see her tonight then?" she asked hopefully "I want to give her some things she left back at home, and I want to say good bye" she was ready to break down in tears if her mother refused

"You may, but don't wake her. She is located in a lone cabin at the edge of the woods" the goddess said while turning her gaze towards the general direction of said cabin "Find me when you're done with everything" were her last words as a cloud of dark mist curled around her and she banished.

Maren was standing in front of Liany's cabin now, her legs shaking slightly but she wasn't sure why. She entered the cabin as silently as it was possible and was surprised by the layout; it looked like a studio. Her bed was on the left back corner, there was a wooden closet with a rather old fashioned design right next to the bed. There was a set of couches with a glass table in the middle; there seemed to be a lot of pillows lying around that area. To the right side of the door there was a small kitchen. On the right back corner there was a door that opened a small room; she assumed that was the bathroom. She walked to the small glass table and put the box Liany had found just two days ago on the table, together with some clothing she had rescued for her friend just in case she needed it.

"Ummnn…" Maren froze in place when she heard her friend waking up "who's there?"

"It's me" she said before she could stop herself "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up"

"Maren? Is that you?" she said as she jumped of her bed, stumbling slightly since she had just woken up. Once they were standing in front of each other and Liany could see her friend in the dim moon light entering through the curtains. She threw herself at Maren and hugged the living hell out of her "I must be dreaming! You're here! I can't believe this" she was smiling so brightly that it made her heart ache. She had to leave her again, even though she didn't want to.

"It is a dream Liany, I'm cannot be here, you know I don't belong here" she said sadly, blinking the tears away "but for tonight, shall we share this wonderful dream?"

"Yes… please stay with me tonight… even if this is only a dream, I want to be with you" Liany's eyes seemed to shine on their own, and Maren just couldn't take her eyes off the brunette's lips. She took petite girl over to her bed and they sat there for a few moments just looking at each other, but before any type of chat could go on their lips met on a chaste kiss. It wasn't clear who had stared it, but it didn't matter.

As they kissed she slid her pale fingers in her friend's chocolate locks to pull her closer, deepening their kiss. The brunette moaned into her mouth when she felt the cold fingers caressing her nape; this was fascinating for both of them. Maren was no longer in control of herself and lost in the moment she pined the younger girl to the bed.

She didn't have to hold her for long since the petite girl was VERY willing. She stared kissing and nibbling the brunette's neck while her hands reached down to grab the younger girl's soft breasts. She pulled Liany's shit off and then she stared suckling her nipples. Things were escalating fast and this scared her, the last thing she wanted was to have sex with Liany and live the morning after, she was not a hormonal teenage boy who only wants to get into the girl's pants and leave. She might be a hormonal teenage girl, but she cared for her and she would wait for the right moment.

She pulled back and a frown formed on the brunette's face; of curse she wouldn't understand.

"It's not time yet" she said

"What do you mean?"

"Liany I can't stay here… it's not right" she could see the hurt on her friend's face; she loved that Liany never hid her emotions from her, she was the only one.

"I don't understand. Why must you go? Do you regret it? It was only a kiss, I'll forget it. I promise!" how could she deny anything to that face.

"I don't regret kissing you. Why would I?" she reached out for liany's face and gave her another chaste kiss "look at my eyes and listen to my voice" her commanding voice caught her friend of guard

Liany move a little and sat crossed legged in front of Maren "I'm ready" she said with a smile

That was when liany's smile faded into an expressionless face "this was all a dream, you won't be sad about it and you won't worry about me at all" dark mist now swirled around them ant the temperature had dropped "now go to sleep" she saw Liany stand up and put her shirt back on, then she just laid on her bed and pulled the covers. It was then that her tears flowed; she had just used the mist on the person she loved the most.

"I'm sorry Liany" she said as she walked away "I love you"

She ran out of the cabin, her eyes hot and wet. She had to leave right away. She ran out of camp and called for lefco, her Pegasus. She got on him and fled, she had to go to one of her mother's temples. She was only sure of one thing; she had to learn a new language.
