Ebony Wings: Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Aidan

Aidan bolted straight up.

Before even his eyes could register light, he asked himself the four questions.

What was his name? Aidan

Where was he? Camp Half-Blood

How old was he? 18

What was the name of the girl he loved? Theresa Oecila

With that settled, Aidan could focus on his surroundings. He was in some kind of metal container (okay?) and Zed was sitting with his arms resting on his knees and Cecelia was behind him; looking at the blanket on her lap, Aidan had probably been laying his head on it earlier.

"Sup?" Zed spoke as Aidan looked around.

Cecelia still had her head leaning on the walls of the metal container, still asleep.

"Hey." Aidan rubbed his head. "Where are we?"

"The van we hard wired if we ever needed to sneak out of camp." Zed explained.

"I see. Functions as a hideout too huh?"

"Yup." Zed's eyes looked up at him. "You scared the heck out of us you know? Suddenly waking up to the sound of you screaming like a banshee out of hell."

"Yeah sorry about that." Aidan smiled apologetically.

"So Aidan huh?" Zed grinned. "Nice name."

"Aye-Done." Aidan corrected his pronunciation. "And yeah, that's my real name. You mad that I lied to you?"

Zed shrugged. "Your privacy is none of my business. I don't want you putting your nose into my privacy either."

"Alright then." Aidan stretched. "What happened after I passed out?"

"We brought you here. Cecelia wouldn't let you out of her sight, I stayed with her. Aaron was on damage control and Mike when to check on Theresa."

"Theresa!" Aidan tried to stand. "I need to go see her."

"Relax." Zed shifted over and pulled him back down. "She's fine. Silena and Mike are with her. We're waiting for things to die down for a bit."

"Fine." Aidan rolled his eyes and sat back down, waking Cecelia up.

"Hey." Cecelia smiled groggily. "How are you?"

"I'm better." Aidan replied.

Cecelia scouted over to him. "You mind telling me what happened to you yesterday?"

Aidan's lips pressed into a tight line. How in the world could he even explain yesterday? He didn't even remember much of yesterday, he did remember a name though- Laura? Was that it?

"Well-" Aidan spoke up, he fidgeted with his fingers.

"Well I know when my presence makes things awkward." Zed stood up. "I'll be back later. Try not to be all over each other." Zed turned and left the van.

"Well then." Cecelia smiled. "Do you mind tell me now?"

-

Aidan spent pretty much the entire day telling her about everything he knew, which wasn't much. Just waking up not remembering his name and shouting the name Laura and then only coming to once Cecelia had shouted out his real name.

"Aren't you glad that you told me your real name?" Cecelia smiled.

"Yeah." Aidan leaned back on the wall. "A little bit."

"Does Theresa know your real name?"

"Not yet."

"When are you going to tell her?" Cecelia asked.

"The next time I meet her." Aidan sighed. "I can't believe that I haven't told her. Out of all the people, I haven't told her!"

Cecelia rubbed his back. "It's okay. I'm sure she'll understand."

"I'm sure she would."

The doors of the van opened. "Hello my two favourite people in the world." Aaron grinned.

"Hey Aaron." Aidan waved.

"Hey Aidan." Aaron smiled.

"Aye-Done." Aidan corrected again.

"Alright Aye-Done." Aaron grinned back. "It's almost time for dinner, will you two be joining us?"

"Yeah we are." Aidan urged himself out of the van, Cecelia following him.

"Alright then." Aaron raised his hand to pat Aidan on the back but he dodged out of the way.

"Right after that though, I'm going straight to Theresa though." Aidan informed. He paused for a moment, looking back to the van.

"What is it?" Cecelia asked.

Aidan's lips curled into a sly smile. "Hey Aaron. How fast that you make a locket?"
