In the shadows

Beef Face Bracelets and Twins

Yeah so I think this might be my last few minutes to live. So naturally I decided to try and intimidate beef face. "Why are you wearing a diaper you big baby" I yelled at the thing with Cam, blondie, and spiky. That's what I'm calling them. Now don't get mad at me for calling her blondie I'm blonde too. Cam snaps out of me and try's to pull me bac behind the tree. "Are you insane! You practically just got us killed" Cam whisper yells. "Well it's too late now" I stated. I turned around the thing looked ready to charge and blondie and spiky were gone.

So we come and save the and we get them running away in return. Thanks. I doge behind the trees pulling an incredulous Cameron behind me. Beef face look around confused so I crouch down behind a large bush bringing Cam with me. What is going on is all I can think. My next thought is to find something useful. "Help me find something to kill it with" I whisper slapping Cam to get his attention. We don't have much more time. That's when I see the note

There's a small piece of paper caught on a branch. I grab it and realise it's in a different language. But I can read it. Odd but I'll think about that later. The note reads:

Take off one of the charms. The one you are the most attached too. Use it to defeat the minotaur.

Good luck and don't die, J.A. D.T.

Well this is reassuring. I'm assuming he note is from blondie and spiky wrote the note. Charms? Bracelet? Maybe they're the ones who sent me the bracelet. Well I don't have it on my so it's not useful anyways. "What's this" asked Cam reading the note. "So which charm do you like the most?" he asks. "What! I don't even have the bracelet on me" I whisper yell again. I glance at my wrists just to verify and do a double take in surprise.

It's there. "well chose one" Cam says getting annoyed. What! I didn't put it on before I left. This is so weird. I look over the bush and quickly look back down.  just gave away our position. opps.

Not thinking I grab a random charm from the bracelet and yank it off. Nothing happens. Well blondie and spiky are insane. Beef face it now running towards us from the other side of the clearing only being slowed down slightly by everything he was destroying in his path. I grab Cam and run. Curse those two and their lies. Beef face is about 10 feet away when I feel a difference in the charm. It's become a glowing bronze sword. I don't think and just charge the thing.

Beef face is surprised by my charge so he freezes. Well hear goes nothing. I run up and stab his foot. That was TOTALLY effective. He seems to unfreeze and grabs me off the ground bringing me face height. I'm absolutely terrified. Them I remember I have the sword. I slice his hand and he howls in pain. Just as he lets go I grab his neck and hold on then I try not to fail. I don't fail. The sword goes strait through his chubby neck and I fall to the ground as he crumbles to dust. Disgusting. Then everything that's just happened hits me. I stand in shock thinking everything through.

Beef face, Blondie, spiky, the note the bracelet, the charms... Wait which charm did I even grab? I pick up the sword and examine it. It's about 3 feet long and glowing bronze and says Παλιρροϊκό κύμα on the base with a trident. Tidal wave is what it says. Is that the name? I'm still thinking it through when two shapes emerge from the shadows.

It's blondie and spiky. Now looking at them they don't look like teenagers more like 23. I look at spiky. She is around 5'7 with short, spiky black hair. She has a pale complexion and freckles dotting her strict face. The most terrifying thing is her eyes. They're bright blue and seem to spark with energy. I move onto Blondie and am thuroly surprised. We're twins. I don't mean literally but we looked almost identical.

Same face same height although she definitely looked stronger, same look of determination same hair. The one thing that set us apart was our eyes. Her eyes are a stormy grey. They made me feel like I should jump of a cliff in terror to spare the sight. But they had a somehow broken look to them. Intimidating but pretty. My eyes are a mix between sea green, grey, blue and black. Like a swirling storm as Cam says.

"Good job" says spiky sounding slightly surprised. "Who are you" questions Cam appearing behind me. Blondie and spiky share a quick glance and look back at us leaving me confused. "My names Alexandra Thompson" says spiky. "And my names Jade Archer" says blondie smirking. Okay then. "My name's Elizabeth Lee and this is Cameron Angelace" I tell them crossing my arms "do you know what just happened?". Jade (Blondie) started to talk but was cut off by the voice of miss. Aitseh.

"I think it's time to go now Elizabeth and Cameron. These two are people you shouldn't talk to" miss. Aitseh states in a stern voice. Alexandra looks over at her startled and starts talking "Lady He-" she was cut short "time to go now kids" interrupts Aitseh grabbing our arms and pulling us away. I'm so confused. What does she have against them? How does she know them?

As Cam and I are being dragged away I hear them discussing something and from the sound of it it wasn't good. Turning away I walk ahead of Aitseh and pull out the note from earlier and flip it over. I pause dumbfounded. They must know us from somewhere but where? The back reads:

Dear Elizabeth and Cameron,
We hope you are okay after the attack. We hoped you would avoid it until we found them but it seems it's to late. Tell Aitseh ja and dt said you needed to know stay safe. And happy 16th birthday to the both of you!
From,
J.A. D.T.
