Ebony Evans: Adventure of a Lifetime Chap. 8

Ebony

Nico was quiet. His face showed so much strife at that moment. I wanted to help, but what could I do? You were the one that caused this after all... His hand stop drumming for a moment and I did something that shocked myself: I grabbed his hand. His eyes looked at me and I tried to tell him it was fine and he didn't need to tell me, but no words came out of my mouth, we just sat there looking at each other, like a bunch of idiots. I don't know how long it would have been till one of us spoke to break the moment, but neither of us had to.

"Nico?"

I quickly let go of Nico's hand and turned to see who it was. A few feet behind me was a skinny guy who looked like he belonged at Santa's workshop as an elf, though he was a bit to tall to be one. I regonized this guy from when we were in Rachel's cave. I think his name was Leo.

"Chiron said he wanted to talked to us, about the quest I mean," Leo said. He was twidling his tumbs while he talked.

"I better be going," Nico told me and then slowly got up. He made his way to Leo and they walked off, neither of them saying a word.

I sat there, screaming on the inside. ''I grabbed his hand! Why did I grab his hand? I could have just gotten up when he stopped talking and none of this stuff would have happened! Why am I such a loser?'' Before I could answer that question, I heard a voice.

"Go with them."

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. My bracelet started to itch my wrist agian. The voice sounded famiery, but I didn't know whose voice it was. I decided to listen and I slowly followed Leo and Nico.
