(Cratos' POV)

A girl with a voice

Can barely make a noice

And have anyone listen to her,

Having the voice of nature

That is what the oracle told me.  I am out on a new mission.  Me, Dark Wing, an explorer for the past 3 years.  I'm 17.  I know I'm young, but I'm very smart for my age.  I have dark, blown hair, almost black.  I have green eyes, but change blue when I start to fall in love with someone.  They turn red when I am angry, and brown when I am embarrassed.  Yea, I have weird eyes, but I can't help it.  I'm about 5'9" tall.  And the only thing I do is explore new things.  It is fun to me.

Why such a weird name?  Well, I really don't know why my parents named me that.  As I got older though, I started having very dark hair.  And have been dark, or might say depressing, since I was three.  Both of my parents died.  Don't feel sympathetic.  I hate people who say 'i'm so sorry' or 'they're in a better place' or things like that.  My parents were the only ones I had because I never fit in with people in school when I was younger.  I was the nerd that everyone hated.  So when my parents died, I have had a hard time getting over it.  And still am.  So after they died, I moved in with my uncle Lenn.  But yet it is not like a parent still.  He doesn't pay attention to me whatsoever.  Lets me do whatever I want no matter what it is.  Over the years with my uncle, I did make friends with one person.  His name Jason Larson.  He is 5'8" blonde haired, blue eyed, shy boy who his parents left him when he was 10 years old because that is when he decided he was bi.  He was bi-curious for a couple years.  And right now he is the same age as me.  And he has been bi for 7 years with people making fun of him and not caring that he has feeling, too.  But he is a really good person to have as as a friend.  That is why he is my best friend.

Now the mission I have is to find the girl with voice that makes every person and animal listen to you.

(Autumn's POV)

Soft grass.  Beautiful sky.  So calm.  I like coming out in this meadow just for the nature and beauty.  I meet so many animal who don't run away when I touch them.  It's like they understand me.  I'm not complaining or anything.  It's just quite odd.  My friend, Conner, when he even comes near them, they start running.

Conner is my best friend.  He is 16, same as me.  He has blonde hair and green eyes.  He is quite gorgeous, but I, of course, never admit.  His family took me in when I was 5.  My parents left me for no reason.  And Conner, some how, convince his parents to let me in.

I'm Autumn.  I'm 16.  I have red hair hair, and my eyes--well how do I put so that you don't think I'm weird--they change colors according to my mood.  Just like a mood rind.  I am a short, 4'9" shy girl.  I have had a very interesting past that I just can't explain.  I'm trying to get it out of my mind.  But out in nature today, with my hair in a braid, I loved listening to the birds chirping and watching the clouds form in all wonderful things in the world.  This is my happy place.  The place I love to be when I am down.  I looked up to see a rabbit.  I smiled, and said "hey, there, lovely thing," reaching my hand out.  It came over and rubbed against me.  I kissed the precious animal.

"Hey, beautiful," a familiar voice said.  The rabbit was startled and hopped away before I could even relax it, and show that this person is nice.

I said, letting out a groan, "Nice going, Conner.  You scared another one of my friends."  He knew I was kidding, and we both chuckled.  He sat on the grass me, and said, "How are you, babe?"  No, he is not my boyfriend.  He just calls me sweet names.

"You know?  If you keep calling me cute names, people are going to get the wrong idea."  He smiled, and said, " I don't care.''  There was a moment of silence.  I layed down.

And once again, Conner decided to interrupt the beauty of silence by saying "Autumn?"

"Yea?"  I said absentmindedly.

"I know we are really good best friends, but I think we should be more than best friends."  His words shocked me.  I can't say I don't love him, but I can't risk it.  Everyone I loved either left or died.  He was the only one I had left.  I can't afford to lose him.

"Conner--" I started to say, but he cut me off.

"Autumn, I know you are still mouring over Jacob.  But he's gone, and there's nothing you can do about it.  If you were mine, I would never leave you.  You're too good for me to leave, and I love you.  I won't stop trying."  Before I could say anything, he leaned in and kissed me.  I felt tingles down my body, but I just can't.  I put my hand on his chest and pushed him away for the kiss.  I whispered gently, "Stop."  He said, "Please."  I looked him in the eyes.  His eyes are amazing and kind, but I am not ready yet.  I said as nicely as I could, "I love you with all my heart.  You know that.  But I'm just not ready.  But don't stop trying.  Soon I will come through and be ready." I kissed him on the cheek gently, and stood up, and left him before he could protest.  I know that last part was the right thing to say, because it was true.  I want him there when I'm ready for him.  I don't want him to leave.  He just can't.  He is just too important.

Hey, guys.  Lizzy here.  :D

Sorry.  There isn't much of the exploration.  I just really had to tell you about the character and their feelings for each other.  This was kinda boring, but I can garantee you that, as I go on, it will get better.

Tell me your thoughts.

Thanks.  Byye.
