She sighed crawling into the tunnel, "What it wrong?"

"nothing, Just kinda caught and i... Look. just go back up the ladder, these bonces kinda... pinched me. In a delicate place.... do i need to spell it out?" Alexander said hurriedly, his face crimson.

She sighed looking at him, "You want you me to just leave you here to be killed?" She asked him.

"No, no, no......" Alexander sighed " Its just that... OH ALRIGHT FINE. Just get it done quick. As he adjusted himself.

She shook her head at him, "Can you move at all?" She asked him as she crawled closer.

"Well yeah, Its just that I'm kinda stuck by important parts of my anatomy! and I DON'T feel like ripping them off... if you know what I mean."n Alexander said " If you move some of those bones, I may be able to squeeze out however.

She nodded with a smirk as she began to move some of the bones. She didn't feel ashamed at all about where her hand had to go to move some of the bones.

Alexander became more and more crimson. As much as he may deny it to his peers, he was still, in fact, a virgin. So he was extremely embarrassed when Akanatha's hand brushed him several times. "Are you done yet?" He called back.

Akanatha flipped her head around to face him some of her hair hitting him in the face, "Almost....just relax..." She said as she knocked away the last bones and gave him a half smirk smile, "All done..." She said, "Now lets go..."

As he scurried after her up the ladder, he began to become filled with questions. Why had she helped him? Who was she? And all sorts of questions along these lines until he accidentally bumped into her, then he decided to focus on climbing.

She smirked looking at him as she began to climb up the ladder. She grinned once she was out and on the ground in the woods. She sighed, "We're safe here...they can't come in here..." She smiled.

Alexander nodded, "Good, maybe we can get to know each other then." "Held out his hand. I'm Alexander. Alex for short. And who pry tell, are you?" and maybe i can figure out what this strange feeling is while were at it he thought.

"Akanatha...." She said with a smile shaking his hand, "I'm the reason for the legend of my name..." She said with a content smirk.

"The legend?" Alexander teased, "Never heard of it."

"And your a child of a god?" She asked doubting him with a sigh.

"As i said earlier, I'm not exactly the favorite son. Probably because i have a brain." he said ruefully. "and im not one of his 'stud sons'"

Akana looked at him and nodded, "Yes...your dad isn't big on brains..." She said with a sigh, "Do you at least know what my name means?" She asked.

"Something to do with Apollo i think." Alexander replied. "He's cool at least. Likes to pull pranks on my dad occasionally, i help him out sometimes."

Akana smiled happily, "Yes....Apollo is a wonderful god..." She said softly a smile on her lips.

"Okayyyy then...." Alexander said slowly. "Besides that you were getting on about some legend?"

"Oh yes...my name....it means loved by Apollo....when I was born the gods....but mostly Apollo blessed me...They said my life would be something of envy..."

Alexander chuckled. "Oh I'm envious all right. Dead mother. Hated and sent on suicide missions by father. I'd swap anytime." Laying down Alexander began to ponder what his new friend had said. And he also tried to find out why he had gotten so angry at the phrase "loved by Apollo" As he sat and thought, only one thought occurred to him. and it was so unlikely he kept refusing it.

She looked at him with a frown, "Yes...I suppose...but I haven't many friends...mortal anyway...and it isn't wise to become friend friends with the gods..."

Alexander grunted noncommittally. "Well, count yourself one more mortal friend." He said after a pause." do you have anywhere to stay?" he asked shyly.

"Yes....well no actually I don't...I would stay with Artemis but your with me so that wouldn't be wise...." She said with a sigh.
