Lura POV Erebus 12-1
ok, when I said I wanted peace I thought I would get it. Well, a mother’s heart
can never rest. Especially when your daughter calls you and tells you your son is
going on a quest with complete strangers. Well that can cause a lot of panic
very quickly. Audrey was able to calm me down a bit but I still worried. It
wasn’t until she called me like a week later that I knew he was ok. I almost
fainted. And I dont faint. Having kids really changes things. I couldnt wait to
finally have the two of them home and hear about camp. I never visited anymore
except to pick them up. finally it came for us to pick them up. I got in the car
with Dev who was holding my hand as we made the drive to camp. From there,
we parked and waited for them to come. I saw both of their blonde heads come
and my heart jumped in my chest. Then I saw another head. A black one. In
between the two was a black haired kid who looked like Nico from years ago. He
looked nervous and pale next to Audrey and Greyson. Greyson seemed to be
comfortable around him and I could tell they had history. They walked up to us
and a girl ran up to the Nice look alike kid. They exchanged a few words and it
seemed that they too had history. It also seemed like Greyson, the new girl, and
the Nico kid were… friends. Or even a tiny trio. My mind whirled with theories.
The girl ran off. They walked up to us. Mom… Dad this is my friend and he
needs a place to stay. Greyson puts simply. Gets it from me. I think and look at
Dev. Didnt know this was gonna happen. Dev gave me the ‘let’s talk in private’
look and we walked away a bit. The kids waited patiently as we talked. So,
thoughts? Dev asks me. Greyson obviously trusts him otherwise he wouldnt ask.
If I had to guess I’d say they had a quest experience or something close to it. I
point out. True. He says with a smile. What? I ask him. How’d I get so lucky to
marry such a smart kind and beautiful girl? He says. so are we’re doing this? He
says. I guess. If something happens then he can go back to camp. Dev says. I
take a deep breath. Ok then. Let’s not keep them waiting. I tell him and we
walk back. I had doubts about this kid. He looked all dark and depressed. Nico
wasn’t that bad but still. Okay, he can come. Dev tells them. Greyson broke out
in a happy grin. I offered my hand to the kid. His hand was icy cold. What’s your
name? I ask him. Erebus, Son of Hades. He says proudly. Well Erebus, its nice to
meet you. Welcome to the family. Im Lura and this is Devin. I tell him and
gesture to Devin. We’re glad to have you kid. Dev says and flashes him a grin.
