My Little Goddess (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5: Hecate's Spell and the Land Of Prophecy

               No one knew what happened, no one except Natasha, who made them stop to camp for a while, probably tired or hungry. But she sat near Caden and replaced his bandages, and it was already dark. Lucas had to talk to the horse to make them stay in one place, and then he sat across the fire in front of Natasha and Caden, sharpening his knife while looking at the flickering fire from time to time. His eyes were serious at what his doing but he looked distracted somehow. Cheska was staring at Lucas with a raised eyebrow and she giggled a little bit then set her eyes on the book Caden was reading. Nicole was holding Cheska’s hand and was poking the fire with her other hand.

               Jolo arrived holding 4 squirrels dead and not bruised; he shot them straight in the eye. He was holding his bow on the other hand; his quiver was full as usual. He smiled at everyone who was sitting there all silent and gloomy “Here’s dinner, anyone want to cook? Anybody?” he asked sarcastically.

              Natasha nodded and stood up, she took the squirrels out of Jolo’s hand and turned at everyone “I’ll do it, Cheska and Nicole can you help me?” she asked them.

              Cheska stood up and dusted the dirt of her skirt “Sure, but I’m not fond of touching raw meat.” She told them.

               Everyone else laughed except for Natasha and Cheska. Lucas rolled his eyes and smiled a bit “Even Nicole is braver than you, grow up, and you call yourself the big sister.” He told her while pointing at Nicole who was standing right beside Natasha, Nicole was holding 3 of the squirrels in their tail.

               Cheska raised her eyebrows and walked close to Natasha who was trying to get rid of the squirrels’ fur and Cheska took 2 squirrels out of Nicole’s hand. She smiled at Nicole “I’ll take that, okay?” Nicole nodded with a soft smile.

               Lucas suppressed his laughter “You just have to anger her a bit for her to risks” he said with a warm smile.

               “I guess” Jolo said with a slight laughter he’s trying to suppress but he couldn’t for some reason.

               Then everyone stopped when Natasha and Lucas armed themselves looking at huge trees trying to find something, or someone.  Natasha looked at everyone else who looked confused “Don’t you hear it?” She asked them they all shook their heads except for Lucas she stared at Lucas her eyes asking for help.

               Lucas nodded “I heard it. Everyone ready your weapons.” As soon as he said it Jared unsheathed his sword, Jolo took out an arrow in his quiver and prepared to shoot. Cheska took out her dagger and Nicole also armed herself and hid behind her sister.  Out of nowhere a death scythe appeared at Caden’s hands. A beautiful scythe, blade made of gold, its long golden handle resting in his hands. Lucas smiled at Caden “Nice scythe” Lucas said gripping his sword.

               Caden slightly laughed “Her name’s Glaudia, she’s a gift from dad or a wild boar.” He said with a very determined look from his face.

               Lucas slightly laughed as well, a voice echoed around the forest “Take care of me, and don’t break me this time, Caden.” It sounds like a girl’s voice coming from Caden’s scythe.

               Caden took a deep breath he said to his scythe “Sorry about that Glaudia, it won’t happen again.”

               Then a rustling sound came from the bushes, a shadow was all they could see. Everyone followed the shadow running around them. Lucas tried to follow the shadow; this one was cunning but Natasha she caught the shadow quicker than Lucas. She brought the girl back to their camp her burgundy hood was covering her face. A smile spread around Caden’s face “Hey Zoie, what were you planning to do exactly?” he asked her as he got rid of the hood.
