Zayden Miller POV
I've been walking all day now, thinking of nothing but Mira and Liana. I keep wondering what they're doing right now, if they're happy, if they're sad... if they miss me. I miss them so much. Its dark now, the air is cool and the street lights are all that guide me forward. I see nothing from a while, just walking to the west. I know that each step takes me farther and farther away from Mira and Liana.
"Hey! Who are you?!" I hear a voice behind me and spin around. A girl stands right in back of me. She has dark red hair and mischievous green eyes.
"Ummm... I'm Zayden. Zayden Miller. Who are you?" She doesn't look homeless, but I don't kniw why else She would be out here. But... no, she can't be homeless, she has a staff. Oh God's, a staff. I think she's a half blood too. "Wait... are you a half blood? Like me?"
"Well I'M one, but YOU could just be a monster."
"I'm not a monster."
"Are you sure?" She's clutching the pendant of a necklace she's wearing and staring at me.
"I promise. I'm Zayden Miller."
"Okay, I believe you. Nice to meet you. I'm Selene Harkness. Are you going to camp half blood too?"
"Yeah, I just started off this morning."
"Me too. So we can go together. It'll be easier with two of us." I feel happy, suddenly. I'm not going to be alone! I have Selene to journey with.
"Okay, great. So what's your plan for now."
"Well, I have $200, so I was planning to get a plane ticket, but now that there's two of that won't work, so I guess we can wait in the next town until morning and then take a bus to speed up the journey. I mean we want to get there as soon as possible." I'm amazed that she's willing to do away with her best chance of getting to camp just so she doesn't have to leave the guy she just met.
"Really? You're willing to do that?"
"Of course! Now let's try to find a town. Lets just follow the cars over there." She points to a turn lane where the freeway breaks off and a few cars are driving.
"Sure." We race to the turn lane and stay on the side, following the cars. We run until we're tired, tgen we jog, the we speed walk. Soon we can see the lights of a large town... maybe a small city.
"Where do you want to sleep?"
"Wherever we can. Oh, how long have you known you're a half blood?" I ask.
"This morning."
"What? But you're so..." I don't know what word to use. She just seems so brave, so prepared. Huh.
"Yeah? Well, it's been a crazy day."
"There's a bus stop. Want to sleep there?"
"Sure... I guess." I let her sleep on the bench and I sleep on the ground. Tomorrow well take a bus for a while, see how far we can go.
"Good night."
"Good night." I close my eyes. Liana and Mira are probably already asleep. Goodnight Liana. Goodnight Mira. Goodnight... Selene.
