The drive to Pinewood Park took Raven a little longer than she originally planned because she decided to detour as far away from the cemetery as she could. Better safe than sorry was her thinking. She wasn’t in the mood for another round with any zombies, and the cemetery was a too perfect a hangout for zombies, just way too many dead bodies there.

Raven parked near the children’s play area. The cold wind coming off the lake wrapped around her as soon as she stepped out of the jeep. She pulled her jacket a little tighter to her body. Raven didn’t much care for the cold, but today she was thankful for it. No one wanted to be out in it, so the park was deserted.

As she walked through the play area, memories of Jay filled her mind. She paused and scanned the area. No one was there. Raven shook her head. This wasn’t the first time she had been back in Pinewood Park, but it was the first time she had been there alone since that night she fought Jay.

Raven looked around again.

She knew it was silly, and impossible, but she half expected Jay to pop up out of nowhere. Raven took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as she pushed the memories aside as best she could.

She continued walking until she came to the banks of Pinewood Lake. Sitting down on one of the many benches lining the banks, she stared at the waves crashing up onto the shoreline. The sound soothed her mind and her soul.

“Dwelling on what you can’t change is not a healthy activity for anyone, but especially not for my daughter.”

Raven didn’t even look up. She knew who was standing behind her. “But how do you get past them?” she asked.

“You need to be more aware of what’s going on around you.” Poseidon walked around the bench and sat down. “I could have easily been someone intent on harming you. You have too many enemies because of who and what you are.”

Raven shrugged her shoulders. “But it was you and not someone else. Besides, if you want to harm me, you’ll have to get in line. There are a couple of people ahead of you.” She looked at him. “How did you know I was here?”

Poseidon stretched out his long, denim clad legs and leaned back on the bench. Between his black biker boots, black leather jacket and his pale blonde hair pulled back and tied at the nape of his neck with a leather strap, he didn’t look like a father, but more like the bad boy biker mothers warned their daughters to stay away from.

“I didn’t. I come here on a regular basis hoping I’ll see you, even if it’s only from a distance,” he said.

“Why?”

“You are my daughter after all.”

Raven rolled her eyes.

“Maybe I should say something about respecting your parents.” Poseidon laughed.

“So where is Medusa?” asked Raven.

Poseidon sighed. “She’s not my prisoner, if that’s what you’re still thinking. She never was.
