The betrayal
As we snuck out of the castle I saw something and whispered rather loudly
"Stop!" they all looked at me confused before they saw what I saw.
There before us was a man in his mid-30s, about 6'4 he had blonde hair and a
Beard, his face looked handsome and his blue eyes kind, he wore dark clothing
and looked kinda emo. Emily and Percy froze after seeing him and he saw them
and made eye contact with them saying "finally my children are back!" opening
his arms to hug them "you completed your mission I presume?" he asked
everyone but the twins looked extremely confused. "What mission? Whats going
on? Who is he and why is he calling you his kids?" Jules asked in the calmest
tone she could pull off Emily and Percy looked at the Ground ashamed "hes our
dad….." Emily said quietly Percy nodded "They retrieved you for me" the man
Said "I am Ragnhild, creator of the thinning and labyrinth. A dark silence
covered the room as we all stared at the tractors with a new form of hatred and
disbelief. Me and Jules risked everything to save them! And they stabbed us in
the back and they gave us away, to that monster, to ragnhild to the man
Who created this horrible thing that ruined so many lives. I stared at them
In shock and disbelief as My hand slipped into Jules's without either of us
Noticing. I mouthed something to the camper people and they nodded.
Out of nowhere a wave exploded and hit Ragnhild pushing him back and
stunning then it Got turned into ice. We stood there gawking at what happened then
the Campers snapped us out of it. "Ice melts you know," frosty said we quickly
Nodded. "He's right we need to get out of here as fast as we can" Jules said
Still holding my hand I nodded "she's right let's get out of here" Jules
Glanced at the twins with a pang of pity in her eyes. We locked eyes and
I nodded then said "Sarah Jason Emma and Leo can you get Emily and Percy?"
"Sure thing boss" Leo said "on it" Emma said "Right" said Jason "kay" said Sarah
With that Emma and Leo took Emily and Jason and Sarah took Percy.
"Now we run," I said as Frosty and Julia led the way out. As we were running I
noticed my hand in Jules's and blushed slightly as my heart beat faster and let go
muttering an apology. In that moment I could've sworn I saw her look
disappointed for a second and she too blushed and muttered "it's…. Fine"
Apparently, we were going too slow so Leo looked behind himself as he was in
the front saying "you two lovebirds coming?" making us blush and hurry up,
though we glanced at each other now and then. A couple of hours later we
got in between a couple of mountains. "We can rest here for the night," Julia said
and we all agreed reluctantly though we were all thankful for the break we
wanted to keep going. We found a nice area and I assigned jobs to my group
whilst Julia and frosty set up stuff for their camp. Leo and Jason were sent to
gather fish and water from the river not far from camp. Sarah and Emma were to
watch the twins while me and Jules set up shelters and started a fire. It didn't take
long to set up little tents out of bark mud leaves and grass for each person but it
took us a little longer to start a fire, so once it was done the sun was starting to
set, and we stared at it gawking. "It's been so long since I've seen a sunset.." I
said "me too" she replied. The sunset looked amazing, with all sorts of colors all over the
sky with clouds that just seemed to dance across the sky. The blues reds
purples and yellows looked like a toddler's painting. Jules inched closer to me
and I pretended not to notice so shed come closer. Before I knew it we
Were shoulder to shoulder holding hands. I felt butterflies in my stomach,
I felt a strange feeling I'd never felt before wondering what this strange
A new feeling is. Was it love? Was I in love? No, I couldn't be in love. But I am…
I'm in… love… I like Jules, I really do…. What should I say? What if she doesn't
Feel the same? What if- I stopped myself I can't think negative… otherwise how
would I say something- I probably looked bright red cause Jules asked "hey what
is it? Your beet red" "nothing!" I said rather quickly. A couple of seconds later her
hand slipped into mine and with the other hand, she booped my nose. "Hey!" I
said half-jokingly half actually wondering why she booped my nose. "cause- " she
stopped herself "Cause I li-" right as she was trying to finish Leo Jumped out of a
tree. "Just kiss already!" he said making us both blush. "I- uh- go away," she said
He smirked at us before leaving then she continued "I- uh- I kinda- I- I've got a
secret to tell you" and she leaned over toward my ear then moved and kissed me
on the cheek making me so much redder. She pulled back also blushing and
then said "I'm sorry- I- like you, more than a friend…" "I- think I do too" I replied
