Hiya! This is Stella! Hope you like this chapter and I'm sorry that this took so long to upload! I've been busy. . . with my life. . . and of course. . . SCHOOL! THAT HORRID PLACE ONLY GOOD FOR SEEING FRIENDS AND HAVING A GOOD TIME AT A DANCE!!! Where we made a game called Skittles rule! Its awesome, lets just say it involves skittles and a ruler. . . lol!

     "So," Den pipped up after a moment of silence. "Who is who?" He asked. I sighed.

     "I used to be known as Elizabeth Ana Marie. I have found out that this is not my real name and the life I have been living is a lie. My real name is Stella Soot. The same goes for Syd, aka Birch Light." I told him. Birch gave me a sideways glance and I shuffled over to her. "What?" I whispered.

     "Why are you just telling him all of this?" She asked.

     "We just found a Spanish kid being chased out of the forest by Golem- creatures. I think he deserves the truth." I answered. She sighed and nodded.

     "So, Den. Were are you from?" Birch asked him.

     "Soy de Granada, una ciudad en España." He said in perfect Spanish.

     "What?" I asked. Birch laughed.

     "He said he's from Granada,  in Spain," Birch translated.

     "Ahhhh, that would make sense! Is that what you said?" I asked. him

     "Sí." He answered. "That one's easy. You shoudl know that one."

I smiled. I could catch on to this speaking Spanish thing! I laughed.

     "Some day, when we're not being chased by monsters, you have to teach me Spanish. I've always wanted to learn." I told him.  Den smiled.

     "¡Cómo no!" He said. I sighed.

     "Um. . . I have no idea what you just said!" I laughed. He smiled.

     "I said 'Why not!'.' This might be harder than I thought." He laughed. Artemis sighed.

     "Trust me, these two don't cooperate very well." He told Den. I growled at him.

     "We don't cooperate when you try to kid-nap us!" I yelled at him. He just sighed again and turned away.

     "And Stella has a short temper." He chuckled. I narrowed my eyes at him. Birch cleared her throat.

     "So, Den, what's your story?" She asked. Den took a breath and started his story.

     "Well, señorita, I used to live con mi padre, or father. He is in the Army so he taught me how to snipe. I am very good, at it too. Mi padre was shipped over seas from were we used to live, which was in Granada. I went to mi madre, mother, in Meermas, Russia. I also know a bit of Russian. Me y mi madre went on a cruise. We got off at stop and went explore when I was chased off by the golems.

     "I don't know were mi madre is or if she is okay. I am very worried." He explained. I nodded.

     "Do you have a cell phone?" I asked.

     "No, lo siento. Está en mi mochila, y mi mochila es en el barco." He said. I sighed.

     "English?" I asked. Den smiled and sighed.

     "Sorry, I'm used to speaking French. I said, No, it was in my backpack, and my backpack is on the boat." I nodded.

     "Makes sense." Birch said. He sighed. This was going to be a long ride.
