Catch me if you can {o}

[Mina]

The trees of the forest three long shadows across the floor. The faint crunch of leaves filled the air, and it suddenly faded. Ground travel was far too inefficient.flying through the trees was faster. And flying she was.

In the face of the death chasing shadows, she wasn't in the least bit scared. In fact, her giggles rang throughout the trees. "Can't catch Mina! Can't catch Mina!" The words were merry, as if she were playing a game of tag.

"You know, you're annoying, why don't you be quiet while you run? This is your mess- your idea." This voice was harder, more sarcastic.

"Sorry," The first voice pouted, "Mina got bored playing with Tasmanian. And Mina doesn't think they will follow us this far."

The second voice just scoffed, though it was true that they had already crossed into camp. Now, you'd think that there were two people, but in truth, there was only one. One tiny little girl looking around the age of six flying from branch to branch. Their pursuing shadows had already abandoned the chase. They were alone. No- not they, just she. Mina landed on the tree just as the forest broke into the clearing. The clearing of cabins.

"Look, Janice! It's camp! It's camp!" Mina jumped down onto the grass, her short orange hair brighter than the sun.

"I see." Her other self replied grudgingly inside of her. No one else could hear, but Mina could hear her perfectly.

The little girl just skipped in, with her lavender eyes sparkling in curiosity. "Who does Janice think I should find first? Mina wants to see Big sister first, and Lamia. Then maybe Big brother Agrius, Lycaeus."

"The Poseidon girl and the daemons? I guess so..." Mina ignored the voice in her head.

[Lycaeus]

Lycaeus whistled, coming from the arena back to the cabins. He was looking for Lamia and Agrius when he spotted a flash of bright orange hair that was way too familiar. His eyes widened, one blue and another brown. That hair....

"Mina...?" The wolf daemon stood stunned and dumbfounded for a moment. He stared at the little bright girl with the same cheerful expression. Even now, her jubilance never dimmed, but he knew within hid a demon. A monster. A chill went through him, but he was positive she was harmless for now. Her eyes were purple. "Mina....! Is that really...?" It was her. He wasn't hallucinating. The daughter of his former master. His former master that had disappeared. What was she doing here? What was her objective coming here?

[Mina]

At Lycaeus' voice, Mina blinked her lavender eyes. She turned her head and her face completely lit up like a light bulb. She skipped over to the wolf daemon with her tinkling giggle. "Lycaeus! It's Lycaeus! Mina found you!" She laughed and jumped up, latching onto his arm like a little burr. She clung onto him in a hug, still yearning for his piggyback rides.

"Daddy got busy. He left Mina and Tasmanian all alone! Mina got so bored, so Mina ditched Tasmanian and came to see you!" Mina's words were bubbly. She knew that their "butler" wasn't going to be happy. Tasmainian was responsible for her. The outsides that had been trying to catch her earlier were lethal, and she was sure he would have gotten a heart attack watching them scramble after her. Luckily, she had been too fast.

[Ginger]

"Lycaeus? Who are you talking t-" Ginger's voice abruptly stopped as did her slow trot. What in the gods names was Mina doing here? She was suppose to be working for Ouranos... If Mina was here... Then where was he? He never let that litte girl out of his sight!

"Um... Lycaeus?" She asked again, not knowing what else to say. She looked pretty desperate for some sort of explanation or comfort. After all, she had been imprisoned in Ouranos' lair with Mina for over a month. Something like that just doesn't go away quickly. She knew it wasn't Mina's fault, but even so she was still wary of the double personality of the little girl.

[Lycaeus]

Lycaeus caught her just in time as she leapt straight into his arms. He knew she wouldn't have needed his support, though, since she had a grip of iron, and sometimes just wouldn't let go. "M-Mina? It's really you. Where, how?" He listened to her endless babble in third person with wide eyes. Tasmanian? The butler? It was odd, too, since he had never really seen him before either. He knew that he cooked the food and took care of things, too. He had had some of his stuff. It wasn't that bad. So, Mina had run away.

"Mina, what do you mean Lord Ouranos disappeared? He left you alone?" The wolf daemon was interrupted when he heard someone call his name. He turned to see Ginger's shocked expression. "Uh...Ginger...I don't..." He was helpless with no explanation as to why. He shrugged with a small and nervous smile. "She, Uh...ran away from home."

[Mina]

"Hey! Hey look, Lycaeus! It's Ginger!" Mina giggled uncontrollably like she was going to have a spazz attack. She shook her head, her short orange hair spread out in a fan. The sun's rays glinted painfully bright off of the strands. She blinked her purple eyes at Ginger's expression. "Mina got bored." She stated plaintively, like it explained everything. "Mina ran away."
