Camp was through the pastures of a pick-your-own strawberry field. “Why are there strawberries at camp?”
“Because we sell them to get money so the camp can continue to run,” he stated.
“Oh,” I said in interest. I had all of the strawberry bushes that we walked by grow a little bigger and a little better. What? I couldn’t just have them grow until they were huge, it would be too hard to control them. “I never told you my name, I’m Floret.”
“Why? I mean, Dan told some people that your name was Lorry.”
“Lorry is the daughter of Gaea; Floret is the daughter of Demeter. It is that kind of thing,” I sighed.
“You remind me of someone…”
“Who?”
“Sky, she said names were power so she changed her name,” he answered.
“Really? I thought that she changed her name just because people kept on asking her if she had a black parent because she had a black name.”
“You know Sky?”
“Yeah, I went to school with her and saw her about three or four days ago,” I answered.
“How is she doing?”
“She was at her burnt down house, getting over her fear or something like that. She seemed to be getting over something,” I shrugged.
“I thought that she was trying to find Cali,” he muttered.
“Cali? I saw her too. She was being saved by Octavian. I healed her from a poisoned wound that she got from a guy named James.”
Cade looked at me with wide eyes. “Wow, you just ran into everybody.”
“Yeah, but it wasn’t that fun meeting Octavian for the first time,” I pictured his murderous face, and found it more funny then scary.
“He isn’t the most fun person to meet. Definitely when he is on his killing spree-“Cade paused. “He tried to kill you, didn’t he.”
“Yeah, he was just a little murderous that day.”
