Ebony Evans: Adventure of a Lifetime Chap. 26

Ebony

I wanted to sit down and listen to Annabeth yell at Leo a bit longer, not because I enjoyed it, because her voice just got to a certain loudness that I wanted to know how long she could keep it up (and I had a feeling it could be for awhile). I was interrupted though. I turned my head to a rustle in the woods. I quickly checked for my bracelet, looked back at the boat, and ran off towards the noise.

It felt like it had been hours since I went searching, but I knew it had only been a few minutes. I was starting to get hot in my jacket, but I didn't dare take it off and leave it for me to get later. I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to come back and get it. I kept messing with my bracelet, getting more nervous the more steps I took. It was still afternoon, so I knew it hadn't been that long since I left the ship. Why did I want to come down on the ground? Right now, I probably was being a loon.
