Real Truth: Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Hecate's house was pretty much a wooden hut by a river Lethe. Spectacular.

"Lethe. Be careful." Zenon said.

"Gotcha." Siren replied.

Hecate had sent up a small platform that acted as a bridge to cross the river. Zenon took the first step to make sure the somewhat fragile wood plank would hold up. When he was convinced the platform would hold, he motioned Siren to follow him.

"Isn't this a bit overkill?" Siren asked.

"This is Lethe we're talking about, I'm not taking any chances." Zenon asked. "Come on."

Siren started to walk across the platform, she managed to get half-way through it before the plank snapped into two.

"Whoa!" Zenon reached out to grab Siren before she touched the water.

"Thanks...Thanks for that." Siren said as she pulled away. "My regular knight in shining armour." She teased.

''You wouldn't think that if you knew what I've done in the past. ''Zenon thought. Out loud he said, "I don't know why it collapsed. It was fine when I walked across it."

"Maybe your testing-things-out-to-see-if-there-broken skills aren't as good as you think they are." Siren countered.

"Maybe you're just more fat than you think you are."

Siren looked offended. "Don't you know you're not supposed to comment on a girls' weight?"

"To be honest you're the first girl I've ever had interaction with. So no, I don't know the guidelines of girl interaction." Zenon replied.

Siren raised a blonde eyebrow, maybe trying to determine the truth in his sentence.
