'This looks like a good place,' Herald observed.
'Are you just saying that because you're tired?' Aimee asked.
'Well yeah! Why else would I recommend the first cave we find?' he said laughing.
'Come on,' Aimee said helping him inside.
They'd found a small cave at the side of a mountain. There was a burnt out fire, so it was comforting to know that someone had stayed there before.
While Herald got comfortable on a rock, Aimee went off looking for some firewood.
When she came back she had an armful of dry wood, and set to work building a fire.
'We could do with some food,' Herald suggested.
'Let me finish building the fire first, then I'll go see what I can find.'
'Why can't you just wish for some?'
This wishing business was beginning to annoy her. She'd always worked for what she wanted, never asked her parents for anything. She'd worked 6 months to pay for this trip, and wasn't about to wish for food that was so easy to find.
'Look! I can't go asking the Gods for help all the freakin' time. They'll think I can't take care of myself!' she snapped.
'Sorry, It's not my fault. I just think it's cool.' he protested.
Aimee rolled her eyes and went back to building the fire.
After she'd finished, she got up and went to look for any kind of food she could find.
'She's right you know. You can't take advantage of wishing, why do you think not all the wishes are coming true?' Herald turned to see who the voice belonged too.
'Oh, hey,' he said.
"Oh hey?' Is that anyway to speak to your half sister?' Aphrodite asked.
'Some sister,' he muttered sarcastically. 'Won't even get my friends back.'
'You can't have everything. The only reason you got the first aid kit was because.' she paused. She had no idea!
Herald raised his eyebrows, expecting her to finish her sentence. 'Well.' he prodded.
'Ok, the truth is I don't know! Don't look at me like that, the situation isn't in my hands. It's all up to the Fates to decide.'
'Then why are you here?'
'Well I don't exactly know, but the reason I'm 'here' now is because I like the little girl. I'm not to fond of you boys though,' she said.
'Why not?' he asked.
'She knows about Greek history, you boys don't!'
'Greek history? It's Mythology! Not real?' he half shouted.
'Not real? You're here aren't you? I'm here! What in Tartarus do you think is going on, something in your imagination?' she yelled at him.
'What's going on?' Aimee asked entering the cave. She stopped when she saw the Goddess. 'Hi Aphrodite, what are you doing.' she paused, thought for a second then added, 'Never mind,' and set the berries and nuts on the floor.
'Is that all you found?' Herald asked her looking at the food disgustedly.
'What is your problem? You're so freakin' ungrateful! To think I liked you!' she shouted.
Her words stung Herald, but Aphrodite gave her the 'go girl' look. 'Nice one, that spoilt brat needed to be told,' she thought about her vocabulary, then grimaced. She'd hung out with the teens far to long.
Herald was speechless for a few minutes, then said 'I'm tired, I'm going to sleep,' he lay on floor with his back turned away from them.
Aimee rolled her eyes again, and then sat on a rock.
'Don't worry too much, falling off the side of a mountain does make someone a little groggy. I once knew someone who fell for.' Aimee cut her off.
'Nine days?' she guessed.
'Maybe, then again I can't remember all this catastrophe has taken a lot of my memory.' the Goddess answered.
Aimee laughed a little, 'You and me both.How are we all going to get home?' she asked.
'I honestly don't know,' Aphrodite said sadly. 'I guess we'll just have to wait and see.'
'You' don't know much about this do you?'
Aphrodite shook her head sadly, 'All I can tell you as a Goddess and as a friend is to follow your heart.' then she melted away.
Aimee thought about the last three words for a while before going to sleep. She wasn't very hungry, and hoped things will be better in the morning.
'This looks like a good place,' Herald observed.
