Lura POV SoE 5-1
Me and Dev walked back to his cabin and had lunch on the porch. I
tried to enjoy the lunch and time with him but I still worried about
the twins. I got ashbacks to my own quest. In fairness it was
pouring and frigid while it was sunny and warm now but the monster
aspect worried me. Cypher had no training and Evelyn had a session.
The odds were not in their favor. I worried and worried and worried
till I couldnt take it no more. I’m gonna follow them. I tell Dev. He
didnt looked surprised but concerned. But its their quest. He says. So?
We crashed Astraea’s quest and ended up helping them. I told him. He
nodded. Ok, lets go then. He says and gets up. I bite my tongue.
Maybe I should just go. I tell him. He stopped. What? But we’re a
team. He says, hurt in his voice. I know but their my charge and I
would never forgive myself if you got hurt of worse. I tell him. I
force him to meet my eyes. Ill be back. They probably wont need me
but I made a promise to Astraea that I would protect them. I tell
him. Ok, I’ll watch over things here. He says. Thanks Dev. I tell him
and kiss him goodbye. I run off to my cabin but I swear I heard him
say as I left. I made a promise to you too. I fought back tears and
ran up the stairs. My back hardly hurt these days anymore. I grabbed
my backpack which I had always ready for anything and made sure I
was ready. They were probably a couple miles ahead of my already
but I could catch up. I grabbed my glasses and gave Hooty one last
hug. I knew I was forgetting something and looked around. Oh how
could I have forgotten this? I think and pick it up. It was a picture of
me, Astraea, Cole, Dev, Annabeth, Percy, and Nika from a few years
ago. This was before Astraea had the twins. Back when we had no
troubles. I smiled at it and daggers of grief cut through me. I blink
away tears and tuck the photo away. I take another look around
before heading out. I knew how to track so nding their footprints
wasn’t hard. I thought up a plan while I ran. I followed the prints to
the road. I saw the car. Another thought came to mind. Just a few
minutes away was where my own car had been attacked. I sighed and
kept going. I wouldnt say I wasn’t in shape but I hated running. Just
a little farther. I think.
