New life

I woke up. I was laying in the sofa in Charlie's living room. My heart was bouncing and l couldn't breathe properly. My dream was so real... The images started to appear in my head. Ughr! Stop! It was just a nightmare!

“Charlie, where are you?” I shouted. “Charlie?”

My phone ringed. Ughr! That was dad. Great!

“Hello, dad...”
“Where are you?” He screamed.
“Um, l'm in Charlie's house. Dad, don't worry, everything is okay. Yesterday there were too many drunk people, so we decided to go somewhere...”
“Never do this again! Your mom was on the verge of collapse when she didn't find you in your room after yesterday's party.”
“Dad, l'll be home as soon as possible. But firstly l need to eat and wake up. No, in another order.”
“My dear! Ahahaha. Okay, okay. We're waiting for you. Love ya!”
“Yep!” l said and the call ended.

In the next moment Charlie rushed in the living room:

“They! They...want to...to kill us!” Charlie could hardly breathe.
“Who? Charlie? What have just happened?”
“I decided to eat pizza. I know you like Hawaii pizza. So, l phoned and made an order. Few minutes later there was a ring in the house. So, l went outside to take our breakfast, but THEY'VE TRIED TO KILL ME!”
“Charlie,” I paused. “Who are 'they'?”
“Seven people! They had knives! Stef, we need to run! My car is near this exit, so we can easily go away.”

Than we heard wood's creak under somebody's foot. And this sound was somewhere near us. Charlie took my hand and we ran to the exit. But as we went outside the house we saw some people.

“This way.” I pointed Charlie on the path our place.
“What?!” Charlie whispered.
“We can't go straight to your car. We'll hide there and, when this people'll go away, we'll run to your car. “Charlie nodded.

We ran as fast and as quiet as we could. As we hid in the tree-house, we tried to understand what was going on in the house and outside it. But we heard nothing. We didn't move and tried to breathe little. Charlie's and, l think, mine eyes were full of fear. Why did someone need to kill us?

Suddenly, we heard approaching voices.

“I've said it'd be better if we took her yesterday!” A girl said.
“She needed normal life.” That was a boy`s voice.
“And what's now? We don't know where she is!”

The voices weren't creepy or scared. It was like these two people were worried about something. But, definitely, they didn't try to kill us. So, l decided to see who were those two. They were a boy and a girl. The boy had black short cutted hair, he wore an orange T-shirt, jeans and some shoes. The girl had blond hair put in a ponytail and she also wore an orange T-shirt and jeans. That was all l could see from the tree.

“So, what do you think know?” Charlie whispered. “Others left, but now these two appeared.”
“I don't think they're bad guys...”
‘Shh. They're speaking...”
“I think l saw them going this way...” the boy said.
“I wish you were right, Seaweedbrain. But l hear nothing. They can't professionally hide. I think we would hear them if they were here.”
“They have to be here...”

Than it was silence. Maybe they've already gone and we can leave our place?... But what if not... l shared my thoughts with Charlie.

“Let's see what's going on there. Now l'll look outside the window. Okay?”

As he said, Charlie looked outside the window and made a step back fast. He looked in my eyes and l understood they were standing there.

“Hey, up there!” The boy shouted. “Go down. We need to talk to you.”
“I don't think, Charlie, they want to hurt us…” I whispered.
“That's why you are whispering?”

Charlie knew if l think "people won't hurt us", l don't mean "we can trust them". After a minute of unspoken conversation of our eyes we finally decided to go downstairs. As we were back at the earth l could see these two people. The boy was very good-looking: he had sea-green eyes, which were as wild as the sea(why sea? I don't know... Just the sea appears in your mind when you look in those eyes) and nice smile. I felt the smell of the sea. I made a guess that near the boy his girlfriend stood. She wasn't as every blondie, no. I felt knowledge and some kind of wisdom coming from her stormy gray eyes. I suddenly understood that I don't want to have this smart girl as an enemy.

“Um…” The girl walked towards us. “Hello. I'm Annabeth and he's Percy. We're here to save you, Stefania.”
“From what?” Charlie as my defender asked.
“From people, how you've said, who tried to kill her.” Percy looked in Charlie's eyes like he was saying: "We've saved your lives. Did it mean something? I guess not for you".
“Who are you? Why are you here? And who were those people? Or they weren't people?”
“Stefania, we're from the special camp for special people like you. We're here to save you. Yes, you are right, those creatures weren't humans. You were attacked by harpies.”
“What?! What the hell is going on?!”
“Oh, l guess we...” Percy started.
“Stefania, you don't need to worry. All you need to know now is that you are special and that you need to go with us to the camp.”
“Are you kidding me? You know how you sound? Imagine you are sleeping and then suddenly someone rushes in your house trying to kill you. But you are lucky enough to hide. But than a boy and a girl appear and say that you need to go with them to freaking camp for special people in the morning! How do you think l'm feeling?! Do you think l'll go with you somewhere leaving Charlie alone?! Even if l knew you, l will never leave him! So, make the conclusion! I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU ANYWHERE!”
“We understand you.” Percy said. “But you have to go with us. You're in danger. What if these harpies will appear tomorrow? Or unlikely today?”
“You're both mad. Harpies don't exist.” Charlie said.
“Dude, they do and we need to save your girlfriend.” A new boy appeared.
“She's not my girlfriend.” Charlie said and l felt like l started to become red. I lowered my head, so that nobody could see my face.
“Stefania, let me introduce you to your saviors.” Annabeth said when l served my problem.

The boy named Jason had cropped golden-blond hair, blue eyes, and a scar above his upper lip. He was above average height, with an athletic build and muscular arms. He had a tattoo burned under his forearm, with twelve straight lines like a bar code, an eagle, and the letters SPQR over the lines. He was quite nice, but as handsome as Percy.

Another boy-Leo looked like a Latino Santa's Elf with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, a cheerful face, short with a slim build, and had a mischievous smile. That guy, I guess, knows how to make people smile. But what do I see? Leo`s eyes... They were like...like Charlie`s... They were full of pain.

The last boy -Frank- was very similar to a real warrior, to a real Chinese warrior. He was tall and looked like older than, I guess, he was. This guy didn`t interest me at all. He was young, however his eyes showed me that he knew more than even me in my 17.

The 16-year old girl Piper had uneven chocolate brown hair and eyes that change color. Piper was half-Cherokee. There was something in her appearance that made look at her, her eyes magnetized me. I felt goose bumps appeared on my skin. Brr! I wish I will never see the power of her eyes or her velvety soft voice.

The youngest in this company Hazel was Afro-American and had cocoa-colored skin, cinnamon-brown hair and golden eyes. As I looked at her, I felt like she was full of mysticism.
“Stefania, you need to go with us.” Piper said and l felt like l had to listen to her.
“Okay” I nodded.
“Okay?!” Charlie turned to me. “Stef, what the hell? Few minutes ago you said you wouldn’t leave me alone! And now you're actually doing it.”
“Charlie, l need to go with them.” I told him.
“What have you done to her?” Charlie turned to the seven.
“Charlie,” Piper said. “Now you'll go to your house and will fall asleep. When you wake up, you won't worry about Stefania, because you both decided that she'd leave in the morning. Okay?”
“Okay.”

The seven and l went to their car. Actually, it was a van for strawberry delivery. Inside the car it was comfortable and warm.

“I think, Stefania, you need to sleep a little…” Piper said and l asleep.
