Big Kids Break The Rules

Orion was reconsidering his plan to stake out this forest. It was beyond creepy, because Orion could swear he heard a voice somewhere calling for his brother. It wasn't Aerndis or his mother, it seemed to lilt and tilt with an accent Orion had never heard before. Wellp! That's that! Orion stood and stepped out of the bracken, shaking his coat to free it of debris before leaving this hellsforsaken forest once and for all, and never returning for as long as he lived. It seemed like an excellent plan, as far as he was concerned.

Until a girl with a blue nose stumbled out of nowhere and scared the bejeezus out of him. Orion yelped and stumbled sideways, hardly expecting her to have appeared so suddenly when he'd been expecting creatures twenty times her size. "Holy-!" His sudden intake of air seemed to jam up in his throat, causing the boy to cough and hack. During the spell he realized that it was this girl who had been calling for her brother. What?! How did she know Jupiter? Did this mean his rat brother had gotten here first? "How do you know my brother?" He wheezed, obviously grumpy and not afraid to let his tone of voice show it. This day was quickly going from bad to worse!
