Beatrice & Olympus_6

"Here we are."

Athena said when they arrived at a not-so-big or small house. A man greeted them.

"Greetings, Athena. May I help you?"

Athena nodded with grin.

"Yes, please. Perhaps you can take care of this girl?"

The man looked at Beatrice. Than he shrugged.

"My pleasure. Antonio, please give our guest her room. And Andrea, give her some foods to eat."

"Yes, father."

Two children cried at the same time. Beatrice looked at them in curiousity. A boy, Antonio, looked little older than Beatrice, and a girl, looked little younger than her. They both had dark, wavy hairs, and dark eyes.

"Come here."

The girl smiled at Beatrice.

"My name is Antonio, and this is my younger sister, Andrea. Nice to meet you."

Antonio smiled and greeted her, too.

"Hi. My name is Beatrice Wilson."

Beatrice introduced herself at them. Andrea gave Beatrice a chiton to wear, and some foods. Antonio showed the room for Beatrice.

'This is not that bad life, even though I'm missing my families and friends... But there is no way to go home! Maybe I can just stay in here. Anyway, there are so many gods and goddesses to help me! They can do anything they want! So, why am I worrying about? This chance is so valuable, I can't lose it!'

But her positive mind broke when Andrea asked about Beatrice's parents.

"Beatrice, where are your parents?"

Antonio tried to stop her, but it was to late. Beatrice frozed with confusion.

"..... Um, actually, I don't know."

Antonio glared at his sister, and Andrea said soothingly to Beatrice.

"I'm really sorry about that.... I didn't know your parents... Um...."

"It's okay. They are somewhere in here, no, I mean... In the future."

Beatrice said quickly. She whispered herself the word 'In the future'.

"Oh, okay."

Andrea looked little dismayed. Suddenly, Beatrice missed her parents so lot! And her bestfriends, and grandfather...

"It'll be okay!"

She cried out loud.

"What will be okay?"

Antonio asked.

"No, nothing... It's, a, complication. I can tell you, but... You won't beileve it."

Beatrice answered.

"We will beileve you!"

Antonio and Andrea cried at the same time, again.

Beatrice just shrugged, and started her whole story.
