π" Lunna's POV "π
I walk down the path. The path is very curvey as I look around and take in my surroundings.
It's almost dark, I should probably find somewhere to lie down at. I think to myself as I look around.
I spot a spot where I can set up camp I guess you could say.
I walk over to it. What doesn't go unnoticed is that it looks like someone else has been here recently or is still here. I shrug it off as something else and continue my journey.
What did go unnoticed was the fact that someone was in a tree above the camp area and quietly sneaked down.
I hear a snap and turn around quickly to be met with a weird tone of green colored eyes.
"Who the hell are you?!", I ask the person to which she freezes in her spot clearly not expecting me to yell.
"I should be asking you the same God damm question but here we are.", she says in a sarcastically calm tone to which I roll my eyes to.
"I'm Lunna.", I say with a sigh as I roll my eyes and reach my hand out she laughs.
"Aurora.", she says and reaches out to grab my hand then shakes it.
"So, who the hell and what the hell are you?", she asks and I chuckle.
"I'm Lunna princess of the Libra's.", I say the last part sarcastically and roll my eyes she gives me a confused look.
"Well, that's impossible. Libra's, Virgo's, Scorpio's, and all that other stuff are just mythical Legends.", she says and I look at her confused.
"What?", I ask and she shakes her head.
"I'm Aurora. I'm an Aries.", she says and I gasp.
"So the legends are real?!", I exclaim excitedly.
"I'm not going to stereotyped as a nicey nice goody two shoes anymore?!", I exclaim excitedly and jump and down.
"Or girly.", she says looking at my clothes and I shrug my shoulders.
"If the legends are actually real I'd mistake you for a Scorpio or an Aries, or something other than a Libra.", she says and I chuckle.
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult but I'm taking it as a compliment so, thank you.", I say and pull out one of blankets then set it on the ground.
"Do you need a blanket? I brought two just in case.", I tell her and she nods.
"Yeah that would be nice. My little sister stole my blanket from me.", she says with an awkward chuckle.
I pull out the blanket and lay it down on the ground on the right side of the fire pit thing.
"Do you have anything to start the fire up with?", I ask and she shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't think I do. I was just gonna use to rocks and spark them together.", she says and I shake my head taking off my survival bracelet that I always had on which the buckle piece had a sparker on it.
"I need some tried grass or husk from a palm bush tree thing.", I tell her and she mocks me quietly while getting up. I look around and see it's starting to get dark quick.
Why didn't I bring my lighter instead? I ask myself just as came back with husk and dried grass in one hand and some sticks and twigs with leaves in the other.
"Here.", she says dropping the stuff in the fire pit.
"We can't use all the sticks and stuff in the fire.", I say taking out a little over half of the sticks and husk outta the fire pit.
Afterwards I use my sparker and after a few tries it starts to work.
I blow on it as I use the sparker to give it oxygen and soon enough I had the fire going.
"Wow.", she says and I smile.
"Alot faster then sparking rocks together, right?", I ask as I put my survival bracelet back on.
"Yeah.", she says and I chuckle.
"Yeah.", I say to her looking around as I start to feel hungry.
"Hey, you didn't happen to by chance come by something that could've been killed and we could've ate have you?", I ask and she gasps.
"Dude!", she exclaims since I said it so bluntly.
"What?! How else do you think we're going to survive out here?!", I exclaim back at her and she sighs.
"No I didn't but I have some snacks.", she says and I nod.
"I do too I was just hoping to save them for like in between meals.", I say as I open the bag I had that was filled with practically only snacks.
"Holy shit that's alot of snacks!", she exclaims and I laugh.
"Yeah we'll, I didn't know how long this path could take.", I say to her and she giggles but nods in understanding.
"Yeah, that's true.", she says as she takes a bag of chips and a candy bar.
I grab a soda and a bag of chips before closing the bag back up.
"Do you wanna take turns on staying up to watch the fire tonight?", I ask and she shrugs
"Sure, why not.", she says and I nod.
"Okay, I'll take the first turn, I'll wake you up when it's your turn.", I tell her and she nods laying down.
"Okay, thanks.", she says and I hum.
"Mhm, it's no problem.", I tell her but I could already hear her soft snores. I quietly giggle at that and lean back against the tree.
This is gonna be a long night. I think to myself as I watch the fire.
π" About 3 hours later "π
I start to feel sleep trying to consume me but I shake my head.
No! I gotta stay awake. Just a little bit longer. I think to myself but sigh when I look down at the watch on my wrist.
It's almost 3 in the morning so I decide to wake Aurora up.
"Aurora.", I whisper to her quietly while shaking her slightly. I do this three times before I sigh.
"Welp, looks like I have to do this the hard way.", I say to myself and stand up.
I rip the blanket off of her before yelling her name.
"AURORA! WAKE THE HELL UP!!", I yell which seems to get her attention cause she sits straight up rubbing her eyes.
"Wh-what?! What's going on?!", she exclaims and I laugh at her.
"You're turn to stay up and watch the fire. It's about 3 in the morning. I have an alarm set on my watch and it'll go off about 6 ish. That's when we're gonna go out and try to find some food then come back here with hopefully something that we can eat.", I say to her and she nods.
I walk over to my somewhat makeshift sleeping bag. I untie my hoodie from my waist and bundle it up into a ball on the ground. I lay my head on it and I close my eyes.
Soon, the darkness of sleep takes over me.
