"Ben?"

"No."

"Benjamin?"

"Same name."

"Benjamina?"

He sighed, shaking his head. "Human..."

"George?"

"No."

"Hmm... Greg?"

"No."

"Grogul?"

"What? No."

"Gresham?"

Beta Giometti shook his head.

"Grrrrr...Gretel?"

"That is a female name," He grunted.

"Oh," I frowned.

Giometti had entertained me for a full thirty names and, surprisingly, wasn't losing his patience. It was rather fun, and I had thrown weird names at him to keep it going longer. I strongly believed I had already guessed his name, going by his reactions to certain letters. I just wanted to mess with him for kicking me in the back and punching my face. Oh, and basically stabbing me with three arrows.

"Okay, okay! I think I know." I beamed.

"Go on."

"Holly!"

The laughter that tumbled from my lips was only a result of how red his face went. I had to gasp to keep it inside, afraid my bladder may burst. I really didn't want to lick up wee today. Not on an empty stomach.

"Not funny."

"I thought it was funny," I snorted.

"You have three chances left. There is a layby near here. You guess it in those three chances you can pee. If not, you will have to wait until the boat."

"Ooh! A boat?" My eyes widened. "I always saw them from the mountains. They're pretty cool."

His gaze was uninterested, and I tutted, muttering how miserable he was.

"Okay, Giometti. Your name is... Hercules!"

"Nope," He clicked his tongue. "Two left."

I grinned, testing a theory. "Hermione?"

His jaw flexed, but he shook his head and sneered his fangs at me. "Last chance."

"Okay, okay. I think I am going to give up... Harry!"

His eyes widened, and I let out a sharp A-HA at catching him.

"It is Harry! I knew it!"

He growled. "How did you know?"

Number two was chuckling. "She got you good."

"I did, didn't I?" I mused. "Now! I must pee!"

Harry grumbled, number one glaring at me as the car came to a stop. I eyed the forest with interest, especially when I didn't recognise where we were.

"You can let her out, since you think she is so amusing," Harry grunted to Two, before levelling his eyes on me. "No funny business, human."

It was like he was trying to tell me something. His voice took on a deeper tone, and his pupils seemed to expand. I stared at him wide-eyed, wondering what he was trying to do with that look. When nothing happened, I shrugged, dropping my gaze.

"Okay."

He blinked, confused, before narrowing his eyes with warning. Number two shrugged, getting out of the car to come and let me out of the luggage compartment. It opened up-ways, and the moment he undid one cuff, I was quick to run out, squeezing my thighs together. I heard Harry shout at me, but I reassured him I was just peeing.
