Will
I looked at the girl amused of how young she was. She definitely isn't 12, she was way younger.

"Will!" Nico walked in furious.
"Shhhh!"

He gave me a angrier look. I looked back at the girl whose eyes fluttered  open. Her eyes darted around rapidly and she jumped out the bed.

"Easy now."
"Where am I?!?" She said scared.

I took a tentative step forward and she sprinted past me.

"Nico! Get her!" I yelled.

He blocked the door but she speeded up sliding under him.

"We have to catch her it's dangerous outside, she might get hurt."

Nico sighed and sprinted after her, me right behind him.

He caught up to her snatching her arm. She yelped and thrashed. She ended up biting his arm and ran off to a dead end.

I panted walking forward.

"She bit me!" Nico yelled.

She ran forward trying to tackle down Nico and they fell to the ground. Nico being stronger threw her off furious.

"Thats it you brat!" He snapped.

The girl backed up as she noticed the grass and flowers around him die.

"Nicooo! Stop it your scaring her." I yelled.

I push him back getting to the girl who tripped on the floor. I lifted her up and she didn't argue. Instead she hugged me tight.

She whispered something that I didn't  understand.

I set her back on the bed in the infirmary.

"Are you okay?" I ask gently.
She looked away and didn't meet my eyes.
"Who is he?"
"He's Nico. He didn't mean to you know."
"Am leaving."

She hopped down and I snatch her arm.

"Uhhh sorry to tell you this but you can't at least not now. Mean while let me give you a tour. Whats your name?"
"Stardue."
"Will, well now come on then."

I grabbed her hand and we head out.
