Xavier's pov
I went back from Olympus City back to Austin's base down in Oversight. Entering the city of Griefs, and others like me who have no other place to stay or go, I come across my buddy, Clara. Blue long hair, green eyes and pale white skin. I told her about what happened with my sister.
"If this war starts and I have to kill my sister, or even hurt her in any way I'll go insane." I said.
"I hate this place personally and I've always wanted to leave. You and I can escape this dumpster town and join your sister. I can get a distraction easily. Or better yet, if worst comes to worst, we fake our death." She said. I loved her brilliant ideas.
"Great! I have to go report to Austin, we'll figure out the details later." She nodded with agreement as we parted.
I told Austin what happened with my sister as well.
"I see." He said spinning his chair around. He had Roman skin, black hair and pink eyes. For some reason he wad wearing an eye patch and held a white cat. I got the movie reference. James Bond easy.
"What do you think? Could I pull it off? No? Oh. Anyway." He threw the cat and eye patch out the window. "Your sister. The godess of fire and deceit. Kill her. Understand?" He continued.
"No I won't kill my sister! I will deliver messages, and fetch the other idiots who work for you, but when it comes to any thing that would even slightly hurt Cerise that is a no go." I protested.
"Oh.. That's disappointing to hear. Fine. Don't stand up to me again or you'll regret it."
That night at dinner Clara and I were planning our escape from Oversight.
"Ok, so we could leave tonight at the darkest hour, at 12. While you were reporting to Austin I mapped an escape route." Clara said pulling out a map and stuffing a small biscuit into her mouth.
"Ok tonight. I know where Austim keeps his map of Olympus. I'll sneak it out of his office and we're home free. I'll contact my sister, tell her we're comming. You get food and water. Deal?" I offered.
"Deal." And with that we parted to do our part.
Cerise? You there? I asked.
Yeah. Why? She responded.
A friend and I are leaving Oversight and coming to Olympus.
Ok...... When you say friend do you mean girlfriend? She teased. I blushed at the thought.
N-no............. Maybe. I stuttered. Come on. Focus Cerise!
Sorry. So you're bringing a girl over. There's food here but the trip might be long. You better bring your hood! She said referring to the matching hoods that our parents gave us before they died.
Fine. Hey I've got to go steal a map. What're you up to?
Training. Somehow I turned water into lava.
How? Nevermind I can ponder that later. I've got to focus. Talk to you later.
K.
After I got the map and my red hood I met up with Clara.
"I've got the food water and backpacks that can withstand up to 95 lbs.Got the map?" She asked. I nodded and we head out. After walking 3 miles we camped out in a cave.
Morning came and we were on the road once more. Clean clothes weren't a concern considering that we wore the same clothes throughout the trip. Everything else that wasn't on our backs or in our bags were burned. 5 miles padt and a town came up.
"I've never been in a human town before and we have money. Plus we're low on toothpaste, water and food." Clara argued. She was right. We walked around to Walmart because all other stores were closed due to the carnival.
We played some games and rode on some of the rides. I loved seeing her smile. I won Clara a large blue and green furry stuffed puppy. That night we walked to another town not far from the last in search of a cheap motel. It wasn't a long search. That night I had seen the most adorable thing ever. Fourteen year old girl hugging a stuffed animal puppy half the size of her, sleeping. That night was the best night sleep I had during this trip.
The next morning it was goodbye hotel and hello road. Finally the journey came to an end.
"Ray!" Cerise yelled hugging me.
"Hey Cerise. This is Clara." I introduced. Clara had looked like a little kid holding her stuffed animal. A dark skinned girl with black hair and brown eyes ran up to us.
"Jordyn who's this?" The girl asked.
"Briannna this is my twin brother Xavier Ryan, and this is Clara." Cerise explained.
Ya know.......... She's cute. Cerise said.
NO! She's mine! I defended.
So you two are dating.
NO! I never said that!
No but you implied it.
No I didn't!
Whatever. She our age?
Yeah. 14.
Cool. Ready for our 15th birthday? Lizzy, Izy, and Kyla are planning the ceremony. I never knew we always wanted a Marvel Superheroes cake at a ball.
Ok... You dressing up?
Yeah. Unfortunately I'm forced to.
Really?
Yeah. You dressing up?
Yeah. Sure why not?
Cool. You should ask you lady friend to go with you. Like a date.
No!
Our argument went on for a while. Oh well. What are you going to do?
