The Truth About Erica

Chapter 4

   I woke up with a start,but pretended to still be asleep. Zoe, Ben, and Mike were telling Liam about their families and showing him pictures. I opened my eyes and saw that we still had roughly a hour until we got there. My hand went up to my neck and when I felt the small gold chain with half a heart on it through my shirt I felt more at ease. When I come to visit Lily I have to make sure nobody sees the necklace. Lily was an amazing person, but my half isn't the best to wear when you are traveling through time. My necklace is expensive and something people on the street could easily steal if they knew I had it. Lily's half looked more like all the necklaces here. She had one made of silver and it looked a little old, as if it had been passed generation to generation. She didn't have to worry about people wanting to steal it. I am sure many people do, but most can offered a nicer necklace or they know not to mess with Lily.

   Before I thought about what I was doing or my mouth opened I said, "Do you want to see a picture of my sister?"

   "Yeah, sure!" Mike, Zoe, and Ben tried not to act excited to see, but they didn't do a good job hiding the fact that they were.

   "Leo is the best fighter here. Once she one in a fight against the toughest and strongest she was famous. When Erica came to visit the first time we learned that she was also I good fighter."

   "They asked what time the girls are the best fighters and I told him that in our time we are training to be spies Lily and I, and we have been since birth." I finished. I looked at the others and said, "We can't tell them what year we are from. They can only know that we are from the future.

   "That's to bad I wanted to tell the all about everything." Zoe complained. She tried puppy dog eyes but I looked deep in to her eyes and said no. I then turned away and looked out the window to see the country side rolling by. 

   Acres and acres of green fields rolled by my window for 30 minutes. After that we slowly came into a more populated area. There are tall buildings lining either side of the road. We got to the parking lot for the beach. We parked and walk towards the pier on our right. We walked in silence, but I can hear Zoe, Mike, and Ben talking quietly behind me. 

   I looked into the distance and saw her. Sitting on a pole that jutted into the sand was a mall girl with dark brown hair pulled behind her ears. Her hair is pretty long and she is wearing boys clothes. I speed up a little, eager to see my sister.

   We got up to the pier and started to walk down. Lily had her back towards us, but as if she had eyes on the back of her head she turned around when we neared her. I only had to look down a little bit. Her dark blue eyes danced in the sun. 

   She looked towards Zoe, Ben, and Mike and they each said hello and their name. Then Lily said, "It's nice to meet you Mike, Zoe, and Ben. I am Lily, but around here they call me Leo. I have heard about you from my sister. She has told me all about your adventures."

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have been busy and I have taken a few breaks over the summer.
