Viva forced herself to look Miles in the eyes, her face showing her pain. "No… It wasn't an accident."
Viva squeezed her lips together, willing herself not to break down in front of Miles.

Miles closed his eyes and put his head down. “What did she do?” he asked with gritted teeth.

Viva felt terrible. "Miles," she said. "Miles, it's not your fault." She went over to him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Seriously, please don't blame yourself. You haven't done anything."

He looked at her. “What did Aphrodite do, Viva? You’re avoiding the question.” Miles said.

Viva berated herself for even bringing this up. "It's complicated…" she whispered. "But it… it's a curse." Even as she said these words, Sam's body flashed before her eyes. This could be Miles, if you're not careful, whispered the voices in her head.

"She- she cursed you?" Miles questioned, not believing it. He stepped away from Viva. "Why would she do that?"

Viva noticed Miles step away from her. That's right, she thought. I'm dangerous. Stay away if you know what's good for you.
Viva didn't want to explain her curse or her past to Miles, didn't want his pity, didn't want his horror.
"It… It's complicated." she said, unknowingly repeating what she had said just before. Viva was sure, however, that Miles would keep pressing, so she gave a simplified explanation. "Let's just say, I have this power, almost like charm speak, where my music can sometimes influence people's emotions and what they do. I… I used it, accidentally one day, on this woman who seemed to be hypnotizing my older brother. Back before I knew about the Greek gods. I was only 10 or so, and I freaked out, I didn't even know I was doing it… but I paid the price. Turned out she was Aphrodite."

Miles looked into her eyes. "Can it be reversed?" he asked.

"I don't think so," Viva replied honestly. "Aphrodite would have to remove it herself. So you'd have to convince her first, but… I don't know if that would even be possible."

Miles started thinking of possible ways to reverse it. Ares seemed like a good bet if they were going to convince Aphrodite. "We'll find a way," Miles said reassuringly. "I promise,"

Viva smiled sadly. "Thanks," she said, a little overcome by emotion. "It means alot. But I don't know if you could convince Aphrodite. She never seems remorseful about it…" Whoops. Viva thought. He was probably going to ask her how she knew this now. Although at least he hadn't asked her for specifics about her curse. She wasn't up to sharing about Sam again, when she'd just managed to tell Lewis yesterday.

"We'll make her remorseful," Miles assured. He pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry,"

Viva's heart did jumping jacks as Miles pulled her into a hug, but she pulled away just as quickly. She didn't want him to suffer because of her curse.

Miles looked at his feet, as he always did when he was embarrassed. "We'd- uhh… we'd better get ready for capture the flag," he said.

Viva noticed his embarrassment and felt terrible, but she wasn't about to explain why she'd done it. That would just be mortifying. It would seem like Viva was assuming that there was something between them and there wasn't… was there? And he would think that meant Viva was in love with him, which she WASN'T and even if she was she couldn't be. URGH! Viva thought.
Instead of explaining all these thoughts, Viva simply said, "yeah, I… uh… I guess that'll be starting soon," and bit her lip.

\ really sorry but I only got like 5 mins before i needa go play with my cousins… \

\ i really don't know. i'm sorry. probably a few hours, but maybe less. so sorry! viva and miles were having a really good interaction and now I have to leave… (cries) \

"I don't know much," Perth began, looking at Lewis, "but I think the Greek world was meant to be complicated. Right now, I just wish I were a- what's it called- normal human being?"

Siren looked around,no one I know, yet… She waited a but more, supposed no one else she even knew was there.
