from my arm and returned to the place he was before. “I don’t appreciate it much … having fun… close to many people.”
    “You don’t have to worry. You have the right to say no. ” I said and looked in other direction.
    “ I know…” He was staring at me and analyzed my disappointed face.
    “ I’m not upset… I’ll invite another boy.”
    I said that and slowly walked away. He made me feel angry. Intrinsically, I knew he would say ‘No’, but I had insisted because Mirta asked me. She had encouraged me to talk to him.
    He was standing away from me, watching me while I walked away. Then he turned his face to the wall and said something I didn’t expect.
     
    “ I’ll go with… you!”

CHAPTER 23
     
     
    A forest, with its floor covered up with dry leaves.
    The brown color prevailed at that empty and obscure scenario, in which the sound of an angry wind sung a chilling melody.
    I found myself lost and frightened. It seemed like I was the only person in that terrible place. I was trying to find my way back home and see my mother again.
    I restrained my steps when I realized the wind was blowing much more violently, unleashing all its fury on the trees, which didn’t stop shaking. I sat on my haunches and placed my face between my knees, avoiding looking around me.
    That was when, in the middle of that agitation, I heard different sounds, as if someone was close. I lifted my head a little and saw that man again, the same man who was always in my dreams, since I was a child.
    He was wearing dark clothes .
    He stretched his hand so I could walk in his direction. I stood up quietly, looking straight ahead. I stared at him again and his hands grabbed mine. I could feel his frozen fingers on my warm hands.
    I looked up into his eyes, trying to find an answer for his frosty hands. I was still looking at him and could see his chest. He had an amulet made of iron around his neck.
    There was an engraving on it. I stared at it and then I was taken aback.
    It was a ‘symbol of Neptune’…
    When I opened my eyes, I realized it all had been just a dream. I sat on my bed as I was intrigued about that dream and also about Eros’ tattoo. I associated one thing with the other.
    “ It was in my dreams…I knew I had seen it before!” I said to myself aloud.
    I lay down on my bed again, staring up at my ceiling, with my hands touching my head. I was completely puzzled.
    “ What does Eros have to do with this?”I asked myself, surprised, trying to find an answer. I couldn’t understand why.
    That strange man was in my dreams almost every night. The amulet made of iron, with the symbol of Neptune on it, was exactly the same as the tattoo on Eros’ arm.
    Could everything be a great coincidence…?
     

CHAPTER 24
     
     
    I stayed in the school library, making a summary to be delivered the next day. At the library exit I noticed it was already night. The sky was cloudy and hoping for the right moment to rain.
    Then I advanced my steps, hoping to arrive home in time, before the rainfall. The street was deserted and silent and I begn to hurry to reach my destination, as I felt a constant danger.
    Later on, I saw Eros was standing at the end of the street and he looked like he was waiting for me to approach. However, his apparition was strange. He was just waiting.  Certainly he perceived I was frightened.
    “Eros!” I exclaimed, surprised.
    “Come with me! I want to show something to you,”  he said seriously in a determined voice.
    I said nothing, I just went with him, without thinking what it could be. The fact I was in his company made me secure and intrigued by what I was to uncover at the same time.
    We walked silently to our destination. I thought the place was far, but his company turned our journey into a pleasant one.
    The place was deserted and obscure. It was a hiding place amongst the woods. It was similar to the landscape from the dream I’ve been having for some time. 
    It was an antique and
