ATHENA’S POVI jerked off my seat as I realized that it was truly poison, he was about to add to the omelet, or probably he had added it already.“What’s going on?” He asked, in a curious tone.“Did you just add poison to the omelet?” I questioned, with raised eyebrows.“Uhm… why do you think so?” he asked, acting like he wasn’t aware of what he did.“I didn’t just think so. I can smell it. Hold on. If I couldn’t smell it, are you going to allow me to eat it?”“Yes.”His answer dug deep into my heart, and left me speechless. I couldn’t say a word as I was so pained to my heart, and what was more frustrating was that I wanted to just leave, but I didn’t know my way around, even with my cane.But I couldn’t just stand there like a moron. I held my cane, and tapped it lightly as I tried my best to avoid walls, and anything that could trip me. I couldn’t even tell where I was, in his house anymore, and I just knowingly fell to the ground helplessly, and started crying.Then I heard Daniel
ATHENA'S POV“Athena. Athena.” I heard a voice as soft as a whisper, call out to me. I looked around, on my feet, and unable to decipher where I was at that moment. The only thing that was clear to me was that I could be in the woods.I was barefoot, so I could feel the sand beneath my legs. And the sound of the crickets chirping and other night insects.I was too scared to speak out to ask who was calling me, and I was without my cane. How did I get here? Having to go around, or trying to find a safe spot here could be difficult as I wasn't familiar with this place. I moved my hands around as I moved my legs further to ensure that I wasn't going right into a tree.Suddenly, I felt someone's light tap on me and I screamed, and sat abruptly, with my chest, heaving up and down.Sweat trickled down my chin, and dropped on my night gown.“You had a bad dream?” Daniel asked, in a concerned tone.“Y…yeah… I guess so.” I responded, and wiped off the sweat on my face.“Oh. Right before your
ATHENA'S POVI fluttered my eyes open as I came back to consciousness. Although, it didn't make any difference, but I could feel I was in a different world.I managed to stand to my knees, and coughed out. Then I used my hand to touch the ground, in search of my cane.“Here, Athena.” Daniel handed over the cane to me.Then I collected it, and leaned on it to stand.“Thanks. Are… are we there yet?” I asked, out of curiosity.“Yes, we are.” “Alright then. So, what's next?”“We have to walk a bit further, and we'll know where next to go.” Daniel responded, and he held my hand as we moved slowly.I was more anxious at the moment. I knew we were already at the land of fear and as we were moving futher and deeper into the land, anything scary could come up.I still felt insecure, despite the fact that Daniel was with me. What was I going to do if something huge comes our way? Just run?Or what if Daniel felt that he was too slow because of me, and then decided to leave me.“Don't think too
Chapter 28ATHENA'S POVI struggled so hard against the snake but it was too huge and strong for me to go against.It was becoming too difficult to hold my breath for that long as the snake still held me down deep inside the river.Only the moon goddess knows how deep we have gotten into the water. What I was hoping for was that the snake wouldn't chop off my head after ensuring it had gotten a good grasp of me.There was no more strength for me to wiggle out of the snake's grasp, and I hadn't felt Daniel's presence yet.Could I even feel a presence inside this river and apart from that, the state I was in, presently.I was almost suffocating, and losing the will to fight anymore. But before I gave up, I heard the snake cry in pain as it began to unwrap itself around me.Even as it was releasing me of it's grip, I still didn't have the strength to swim up. But before I gave up totally, I felt Daniel's hand hold me tight, and pull me out of the river, and soon, we were on the other sid
ATHENA'S POV“What? What do you mean by we are in a danger hut?” I asked, beginning to fear that we had just gotten from frying pan to fire.“This is a hut where crazy crocodiles stay.” Daniel responded in a low tone.“Crazy? Why are they called crazy?”“They sleep deeply, but the moment you wake them up with noise, they would track and hunt you until you're out of the forest. And that can make it difficult for us to focus on our destination here, and the little things we are to take note of. So, don't make noise.” I nodded my head, and pursed my lips as tight as I could. There was no way I would want a bask of crocodiles after me. Not when I couldn't see, which would also be a heavy burden on Daniel.“As soon as I perceive that the monster is gone, then we can make our next move.” Daniel spoke, and I nodded in response.About what seemed like thirty minutes passed before Daniel said it was okay for us to leave now. We carefully walked out of the danger hut, and ensured we attracted
OCTAVIA'S POVI was a bit worried about how Alpha Jeremy had been acting worried. I figured out why he had been this way, and it burdened my heart that I wasn't able to help him in the least way.He wouldn't even accept sex because he was too worried. Then I received a text, and I checked it.“I have a solution to the problem growing in the palace. But I will take something in return. If you are interested in knowing further, come to the address attached at the end of this text.”I became so curious, and hurried out of the house after having my bath, then went to the address.It was a mansion, and the moment I was ushered in, I discovered it was our enemy pack's abode.As soon as their leader walked to the sitting room, I decided to turn back, hoping that I would be allowed to go scot-free.“Where are you going, Octavia? Don't you want to put a smile on your husband's face anymore?”“You are our enemy, and I shouldn't involve myself with you. You are the ones behind Henry being uncons
ATHENA'S POVMy eye lids fluttered open as I gained my consciousness back. It felt as if I had been out for long, but there was no way I could find out.I guess the old man must be really tricky. Since he stays in a place like this, obviously, he was someone we ought to be wary of.It meant he could have sent Daniel out to get him an apple because he wanted to capture me.By the way, where was I? Right there, I realized that there was too much heat where I was, and when I tried to sit up, my head hit something wooden.I became alert, and used my hands to feel my surrounding. No matter how far my hands wanted to reach, there was always a wooden covering, restricting them like I was placed in a box.Hold on. Could it be that I was placed in a coffin? A gasp of shock escaped my mouth as I used my hands to trace the shape and confirmed that I was truly in a coffin.Fear gripped me and it became a bit difficult to breathe. I wondered if he has buried me deep into the ground.Oh, no. That m
ATHENA'S POV“What's going on, Daniel?” I asked in a low tone, and in fear.“Whatever she says to you or make you feel, do not believe her. Do not let her make you feel fear or it'll get real.” Daniel said in a hurry, and then I heard a snap of a finger.I covered my ears with my hands as it was piercingly loud. And out of the blue, I felt alone. I could no longer feel Daniel's presence.I was left with my cane only, and the air was chilly. Also, it felt as if I was on a vast land that was dark, but was illuminated by the moon light.Then I heard a light, but echoing cackle.“Where am I? Where's Daniel?” I asked, with a shaky voice.“Do you need to know when you can't see?” She cackled again. “Anyways, prepare to bid goodbye to the earth, because you will not live to see your loved ones and friends when my pet is done with you.” My heart skipped a beat in anxiousness. Was she really planning to kill me? No, no. It can't be. Daniel already said I shouldn't believe whatever she says or
