Monster of a Quest

Chapter 11 Charlotte

Me and Dabria were talking until it became dark, even though it only felt like a few minutes. At first I was just acting nice, but she made me feel so safe and welcome. "Alright let's set up camp here" says Cody. It kind of annoys me how he is acting like the leader when Dabria is the actual leader, but Dabria seemed okay with it. "Hey Sam, can I have one of those tents?" I ask. "Yeah, here this one says girls on it, it also says don't get any funny ideas boys, what does that mean?" Sam says, I smile, then see something written a little below it. It said that means you, Cody, you know what I am talking about. I point at it, and say, "He explains it more here." They all read it and there was a small silence. "No, I don't know what you mean, your majesty," Says Cody angrily, me and Dabria burst out laughing. "We were right," says Dabria, laughing. When we were talking, me and Dabria agreed that if Cody got angry at the king, he would say your majesty. "Why are you two laughing" asked Cody with a confused look on his face. "He means you and Dabria, but that is not what we were laughing about," I say, smiling. "Yeah, no," says Cody, looking very disgusted. "Like I would let that happen. As a matter of fact, I would not even let in the tent unless he has to be," says Dabria, rolling her eyes. I look over at Sam and he looked relieved in a, she could do better kind of way, and he says "This king seems like a hopeless romantic. I think he should get that fixed." We all laugh. Cody even smiled a bit. "Alright, let's set up our tents and get some sleep. Should we do watch groups or no? '' says Dabria. She looks around for someone to answer her. "No, I think we are fine tonight" I say after waiting to see what the others thought. Dabria nods and starts setting up the tent. I go to help and we get our tent up easily, but the boys were struggling because they were not working together, but they still got it up not long after us.

"Here take my blanket Sam, I don't really get cold" says Dabria. "Are you sure" asks Sam, She nods then smiles. He takes it and goes into his tent, it kind of bothers me how he does not say thank you or anything at all. I would have taken it right back if he did that to me, but Dabrias not me she is nice and sweet but by the way she talks I can see she has a bit of a bad side on her. I head into the girls tent and try to get comfy enough to go to sleep. Dabria does not come until a little later. "What were you doing?" I ask. "Me and Leo were hanging up our food so animals do not get into it" she says, she sounded tired but weren't we all from walking all day. We just sat there for a bit, I watched Dabria zip the tent closed removing all of the light from the star that was making her blond hair stop glowing yellow. She saw that I was still up and said "Go to sleep we have to get up bright and early tomorrow" says Dabria smiling, I lay down and get comfy again then I fall right to sleep.

I wake up around what I am guessing is midnight and when I sat up to stretch Dabria was not next to me sleeping. At first I was worried but then I heard the sound of an arrow being shot. I slowly moved out of the tent to make sure she did not shoot me. "What's wrong?" I ask while she was starting to walk over to where I am guessing she shot the arrow. I made her jump so bad, I thought she was going to climb the tree next to her. "Oh wow, you okay you really jumped" I ask. "Yeah, I am fine you just scared me" she says. "What happened to sleeping" I ask. "I could not sleep, I can not stop thinking about what we are doing" Dabria says. "What do you mean?" I ask sort of confused, but quite curious. "Its just the king just kicked us out on this mission without much information on what we are doing" Dabria says while staring off into the distance. "It was like he was trying to get rid of us" she says still staring off in the distance like she was waiting for something. "He was probably just trying to get us there the fastest he can so we can stop them faster" I say. "You are probably right" she says, as she looks away from where she was looking before. "We should probably head to bed so we have energy to walk tomorrow" I say while looking at the place she was looking at, then look at her. She smiles, than says "Just give me a moment to get my arrows" she says, I nod than head back to the tent to sleep.
