Leo's P.O.V.
I walked to bunker 9, hoping to see that Alex girl again. We are alike. I wonder how old she is. I decided to make a U-turn and head to the Hades cabin. I walking towards the building labeled 'Hades' on it, when I saw Alex outside, holding a piece of metal in her hands. Her hands look soft and warm. Wonder if I could hold em' someday, I thought.
Her head turned slowly and her eyes met mine. I was paralyzed and lost in those beautiful Hazel eyes. She walked towards me and handed me the scrap metal.
"You forgot this yesterday"
"O-oh re-really? Thanks!" I stuttered.
"Don't stutter, it's not formal" she flicked my nose which made it catch fire.
"Wha?" She looked at me and I quickly put out the flame.
I took her arm. "I gotta show you something"
I dragged her to the bunker and sat her down on the couch. I breathed in heavily. "I have the power to control fire" I put out and a small flame appeared. "Woah" she said amazed. She reached out and pulled my hand back while putting out the flame.
"No, don't touch it. You'll burn yourself" I said almost in tears.
"Shhhh.... It's okay mijo" she got up and walked closer to me.
My mother called me that..... My heart ached and tears spilled out from my eyes. She looked at me in shock and embraced me in her arms. "No se llore" (don't cry) I hugged back and wrapped my arms around her.
"I have those powers too ya know" she pulled away and smiled.
"R-really?"
She nodded and put out her hand. She summoned a flame. But this fire wasn't normal. It was..... blue.
"The sign of death....." I whispered.
"Yeah....." She rubbed the back of her neck.
I tackled her I a hug and her beanie fell off. Her long, dirty blonde, curly hair fell over her shoulders. I giggled a little bit and took a curl from my hair to compare. Her hair was a lot curlier than mine. Like.... Hazel's hair curly. Well, they are sisters..... But anyway, Alex's hair brought out her eyes. She looked stunning. Can I kiss you?
"How old are you" I asked
"Twelve"
"Huh, eleven" I looked at her and my heart melted.
"Wanna work with me in bunker 9?"
"Well Valdez, I'm also working with the Stolls so don't expect to be prank free" she smiled.
"Is that a yes? And don't worry, I won't"
"Yes dummy" she ruffled my hair.
"What do I call you?"
"Anything you want as long as if it isn't inappropriate of offensive"
"What about you?"
"Me?" I pointed to myself.
"No Casper. Yes doofus!"
"How bout Mr. McShizzle "
"Repair boy it is" she laughed.
"Repair boy...... I like it!" To be honest, I would let Alex call me anything she wanted, but this was actually a nickname I grew a liking to.
"I'm gonna call you Ghost Girl!" I said
"I wouldn't mind that"
"Ghost girl then"
From then on we greeted each other as Ghost girl and Repair boy.
