| Things had started to get hectic at the camp. Fights had been breaking out all night, and several of the runaways decided that they were going to pull pranks on everyone. Perhaps it was possible to get into the spirit of Halloween too early. It was still another week away, but it seemed like everyone couldn't wait to start tricking each other. No one else seemed to be bothered by it, but it was annoying the crap out of Terra. She loved Halloween, seeing as it was one of her favorite holidays, but enough is enough. Runaway or not, it was still too early to start celebrating. But, that wasn't the reason Terra had ventured out for a walk tonight. Well, it wasn't the only reason. Truth was, she was getting quite lonely around the Hideaway. Sure, she had friends there, but today it seemed like they were all off...somewhere else. So, if she was going to be lonely, why not be lonely where it was actually peaceful? Terra had heard that the park was a good place for a walk at night, but she had never really gotten around to seeing if that was true. It seemed like she hadn't even had a time this week where she had a second to just stop and take a breath. So, there she was. Little Miss Terra, walking past the open gates that marked the beginning of the park trail. She sighed, her eyes wandering the yard full of lush grass, huge trees, and flowers. She shrugged. The locals were right, and she felt relaxed already. She stopped, taking a second to let it all sink in. But, she had to keep walking. Terra couldn't just stand there all night, now could she? She was here to stretch her legs, and enjoy the whole park. Pulling her black and green striped jacket closer to her, she started back up again, heading towards the lake at the end of the pathway. She could barely see it now, but she could tell it was going to look beautiful in the moonlight. But, she noticed a figure sitting on a nearby bench before she could go any further. It wasn't until she got closer that she realized it was Travis. She could just keep walking, right? Yeah, that would work. But, it seemed like her brain had other plans. "Hi," she muttered, just loud enough for him to here. "What're you doing here?" |
