Ok, well, I've been having a lot of issues with the original story, so I've tweaked it a little bit and re-uploaded. Perhaps now it won't be reported as Code 1? I'm not sure why that happened, but I've checked out the help desk a little, and it said that re-uploading could help.

Leo and Calista were not unfamiliar with Greek mythology. They loved it... But they weren't sure if it loved them back. At the moment, you see, they were rather busy. Being chased by an overgrown pig usually kept one's hands full... Well, actually, it would take roughly a thousand and two hands to fill this creature. He was the size of a small monster truck, and by the gods he sounded like one. But Calista and Leo didn't really notice. They were too busy running for their lives.

"Damned pig!" Calista snarled. Aside from being chased by the boar, she was also vegan. Whether or not this had anything to do with her comment was completely up for debate.

Leo took a risky glance back. "This way!" he shouted, turning left. "Maybe we can... Oh." There was a fast running stream that crossed their path. It wasn't very wide, but the speed of the river could have put a cheetah to shame.

"What're we going to do now, smart one?" snapped Calista. They could hear the boar pushing over trees as it fought to get to them. Funny thing was, the area was not heavily wooded. Maybe the porker just liked killing trees.

"Try and swim?" suggested Leo. "I mean, we're both pretty good at swimming, so...?"

"Oh, yeah, lets try and swim in the rapids! That sounds like a fantastic idea!" Calista said shrilly, making exotic gestures toward the river.

Leo grinned. "I'm so glad that you agree with me," he said. He smiled charmingly while Calista gave him the death glare.

Leo dived into the water, followed by a reluctant Calista. The breath was knocked out of his lungs, and his legs went immediately numb. He tried swimming for shore on the other side. It's not nearly as easy as it sounds, however. The two of them were rapidly getting dragged farther and farther down the river, making no progress what so ever.

Leo knew he would get hell for this later. Well, if there was a later. The pig had finally arrived at the side of the river that the two of them had started out on.(What has that thing been doing? Leo wondered faintly.)

It tossed it's head in frustration, while Calista slammed into a large rock in the river. The poor girl was hit by Leo shortly after getting caught on the boulder.

"You idiot!" she said, her voice strained. But her attitude changed in a moment. There was a big tree on the other side of the river, almost directly to their left. The other side of the river had been cut steeply inside, leaving thick roots exposed. An idea began to form in her mind. "Hey... Hey, Leo? Do you think you can stand on this boulder? Without stepping on me, please?"

Leo gave her an odd look. He didn't respond, but instead angled himself against the river's will and climbed up onto the rock. "Now what?" he asked her, eyeing the pig that was now pacing the shoreline.

"Try jumping to the other side, snag one of those roots if you don't make it."

Leo hesitated, but then leaped. He was on the track team, which helped him make it to the other side without getting a dip back into the water. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed.

"Why thank you, brother dear," Calista said with a small grin. She climbed up onto the rock, and was buffeted by a cold wind. The fact that she was drenched in freezing river water certainly didn't help. She tried the jump herself, bunching up her muscles, and springing off the rock with all her might. She, on the other hand, was a foot shy of the other side. She frantically grabbed a root, pulling herself to the shore. She tried to pull herself up onto the shore, but took Leo's outstretched hand instead.

"Thanks," she heaved. She laid down on her stomach, groaning. "I hate water!" she moaned. "And pigs!" she added.

"Speaking of pigs... I don't think it likes water," Leo said, watching the boar. It was still pacing the shoreline, shrieking in frustration now.

"And neither do I," Calista mumbled.
