Chapter 17

Hazel woke up after sleeping for almost 4 hours, she saw the others were still resting, she walked towards Day who smiled at her.

'So, I guess we have to work together then' Hazel started the conversation.

Day laughed like a songbird, 'Seriously, I realized that 4 hours ago, and yes, we have to work together, cause um what you did was a brave but also very stupid, my heart almost stopped'

'Why would your heart stop for me?' She teased.

Day's expression turned blank, he quickly moved his face away from her.

'Why did he look as if he is hiding something?' She thought.

Leo came up behind her and handed her a toast,' Breakfast' he said.

'Thanks' She said, still looking at Day's back, as he rummaged inside his back.

Leo followed her eyes and his eyes grew dark he saw her eyeing Day.

'What do you think his real name is?' Hazel asked thoughtfully.

'Why do you care?' Leo demanded.

'He reminds me of someone' Hazel muttered

'Of who?'

She looked at Leo ,'My brother'

'Wait, how long has it been that you haven't met your brother?'

'Oh you are talking about Xander, its been 3 years, but I am not talking about him Leo, I had a … brother who vanished off the face of earth, I was 6... he was 8, his name was Daniel Marshall'

Leo's eyes widened 'Oh' was all he could say.

'What exactly do you remember about Daniel?' Said Day, turning around.

'Dude, not cool, stop hearing' Leo complained.

Day shrugged 'If you didn't want me to hear, you must've gone somewhere else, anyways, Haze, my question' Hazel gasped as she remembered that daniel used to call me Haze.

'He used to call me Haze'

Day smiled, 'What a coincidence'

'He had dark eyes'

'What a coincidence' H repeated again.

Leo barged in the awkward conversation

'Dude, that's creepy, what's your real name?'

Day didn't say anything and stared at Hazel before saying ,'Richard' he saw Hazel's tense shoulders relax and he smiled ,' I was just curious, to why I reminded you of him'

'Humph, wait Leo where is the robot?'

'In my backpack' He said casually.

'What?!'

'Yea, I figured out he could shrink into a Rubik's cube'

'What robot?' Day asked ,'Is it a code word or something?'

Leo smirked at Day and activated the robot, who sprang out and hugged Hazel

Hazel yelled 'Watch the claws, watch the claws!'

The robot left her and whirred happily, he spotted Day and sprang at him,

Hazel caught him as he tried to slash at Day

'He is a friend, Day, His name is Day, Day meet Kika, Kika meet day'

The robot extended a hand, ahem, a claw, Day took it cautiously, the robot whirred and emitted a piece of paper, Day took it gingerly.

'Kika meet Day, how ya' doing?'

Day erupted into heaps of laughter 'Ima doing fine dude' Day said, mimicking a bandit, the robot extended a fist and Day bumped a fist against his claw, the robot whirred happily.

'Well, He is cute, how did you get him'

Leo and Hazel looked at each other

'Gosh Leo you tell him'

Hazel said and went away.
