Lilliana bit her lip, "It's nothing, you didn't know... I'll just, I don't know... Walk..."

"Do you want me to come?" Ben asked quietly not wanting to offend her if she wanted to be alone.

"Maybe me too?" Isurgi offered.

Lilliana bit her lip again, "I-I don't know..." She sighed and got up, Lilliana started to pace back and forth.

"It's your choice, if you hate me now because I forced you to hard I understand..."Ben said sorrowfully.

"No!" Lilliana practically screamed, "If it makes you happy then I'll try again..."

Isurgi silently growled at Lilliana. She didn't know why, she just did.

"Gods no, I would never make you do that again, if you don't want too" Ben said looking down across the bay.

"No, I want to... For you..." Lilliana said getting up and brushing past Isurgi, ignoring the growl that eruped from the girl's throat.

"K, you promise to not let go if you don't want to go on. Tell me and we'll go back up to the shore."Ben said sweetley.

Lilliana nodded and cracked a small smile, "I'm not afraid!" She stepped up to the water and took Ben's hand.

"I know, I justwanted you to know" Ben smiled as they waited deeper into the awter until it was as high as their waist.

Lilliana breathed slowly, "I'm okay... I'm okay..."

"I promise you, you won't drown. I'd desown my father if anything like that happened." Ben smiled "There's a drop off here. Are you ready?"

Lilliana smiled and half-laughed, "I'm ready," She breathed slowly and prepared for the drop.

Ben stepped over the drop. The instant chill coming off of the water around him sent a shiver down his back. "Any problem yet?" He said looking over at her in the water.

Lilliana shook her head and then did something totally unexspected (sp?). She let go of Ben's hand and dove until the water, coming up seconds later laughing. "Know I know why my father put me threw those horrible swimming lessons!"

"Yeah, beacause he knew that your uncle was Posiedan God of the Sea" Ben laughed swimming over to her.

Lilliana smiled, "Wow, I never knew how water could feel so good!" She dived back under and pulled Ben's leg down.

Ben went over and wriggled his leg free. He burst through the surface. "We need to get to the airport fast... Unless if Zeus is gonna kill me because I brought you to far into the water..."

"No he won't..." Lilliana said unsure, "You know, let's go." She started to swin toward the middle of the ocean.

((Bay not Ocean xD Manhatten is a large island conected by a bay from New york...))

"Here, if you want to breath grab my hand." He said holding out his hand. "The currents will take us faster than swimming.

(LOL, I'm so not cut out for a job that deals with geography! xD)

Lilliana smiled and took Ben's hand, "Okay, Let's go!"

Ben dove down to the bottom of the bay and ordered the currents to take them to the shore of the New York Beach.

Lilliana rode the currents with Ben until they got to New York Beach. She smiled and said, "I could get used to this!"
