The strangers in orange shirts

We walked towards the castle for what felt like hours, not getting any closer, for

what felt like hours wondering if we would ever save the others. "How many

people, will we have to fight?" I wondered aloud "I don't know…" she shrugged.

then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw two people in bright orange shirts that

stuck out. "People!" I exclaimed "maybe they're friendly…." she said unsure "If

They aren't, we can take them." I said nodding as we approached the strangers.

when we got closer I tried to read the text on their shirts but the other words on it

weren't visible due to stains but one word I could read said Camp. when we got

Closer the girl pulled a pen out of her pocket and the guy whispered something to

Her and she reluctantly nodded, still holding the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"Do you work for Raginhild?" Jules asked. The campers looked confused.

"Nevermind!" I said quickly I shivered then noticed that one of them was giving

off an icy ora, and the other was giving off a salty ocean scent. I inched closer

To Jules. The girl started shooting questions at us faster than we could respond.

"Who are you?"

"Are you two demigods?"

"Why are you so far from camp?"

"Why is your skin so grey?"

"Why-"

The one that seemed to give off the icy ora said "maybe slow down with the

Questions, Jules" and laughed a little. "If you're not working for Ragnhild who are

You?" I asked, "are you also escapees?" I asked knowing they weren't. They

aren't on any team I'd ever seen. "And if you are, can you help us?"I said

Knowing it was risky giving away our plans but in truth, we needed all the help

We can get. They talked quietly before the icy one said "what do you need help

With?" "our friends, got captured and were going to storm the fortress" they had a silent

conversation before the salty one said "we're in, but who are you? Your

obviously not demigods, if your this far from camp…" "if they're not campers we

probably shouldn't tell them more, Jul." the one who was probably called Julia

Nodded. the girl introduced herself as Julia and the Boy windmal. After a short

conversation we were on the road.
