CHAPTER 7

I HAVE A RATHER LONG CONVERSATION

Myles helped me carry my things from cabin eleven to cabin three.

The cabin was very beautiful. It was a low gray building ad it had a coral fountain in a corner that had water flowing continuously from it. There were blue walls and loads of other fascinating sea type things.

I was excited to find out who my father really was, but there was something else nagging at the back of my mind. "Myles," I asked quietly, "did you know?"

He looked me in the eyes for a long while before answering and then finally said, "I had a suspicion. When you asked if you could take along your horse, well, that somewhat tipped me off. I mean, I could have been wrong, because there are loads of people who love horses too, but I just thought you love your horse more than other people."

That made me feel better for some reason. I looked around the cabin again and noticed that it looked quite empty. It seemed strange after being cramped in the Hermes cabin. You can barely stand, let alone sleep in that cabin. "Is it just you and I here?"

Myles nodded with a faint smile, "Our father doesn't have many children. Greek or Roman."

"Roman?"

He nodded again, "Poseidon has a Roman aspect as well. Neptune. When Rome was a great civilization, the gods moved there. Now, they are in America. The next great civilization," he paused, "you sound as if you're from Britain."

I shook my head, "I'm not, like I said before. And loads of people have British accents. My mother is. She moved with her family to North America when she was about your age, so she never lost her accent. I have the same accent because I grew up hearing hers."

Myles smiled and then asked, "Who's Anna, then?"

The question hit me like a lightning strike. It took me a moment to answer, "Why do you ask?"

He shrugged, "Your mother said you went over to Anna's house when we arrived."

I didn't really know what to say. Could I trust him? He was my brother but I had only met him today. It felt like a million years ago that I was running into the house. Still, I decided to tell him.

"She is... well, was my friend."

"What do you mean 'was'?"

I took a shaky breath then plunged into the story, "Today was the day that I met Anna two years ago. We had planned an afternoon together. When I got to her house, she wasn't there. But her mother was. She was crying and when I asked her where Anna was, she said she couldn't tell me.

"Then I ran home to tell mother and you and Chiron were there. I have no idea where she is or what could have happened to her."

I closed my eyes and tried my very best not to start crying. My efforts failed miserably.

Myles bent down onto his knees and looked me in the eyes and said softly, "I'm sure you'll see her again."

I wiped my eyes and sniffed, "You really think so?"
He smiled again, "I really do. Remember Beckah, things always happen for a reason. You and Anna just have two different paths, but I'm sure they'll intersect again. I don't think you would have met her and have been friends for so long if you two weren't meant to see one anther again."

This made me feel loads better. I gave him a hug and then realised how exhausted I felt, so I climbed into one of the bunks.

Myles was going to go out to talk to Chiron but before he left I asked, "Where's your mother Myles?"

Myles's face darkened, "That's a story for a different night." And with that he walked out of the cabin.
