ATHENA's POV

THE PAST (Pt.3)

The gate was open and we were about to enter the vicinity when my two bodyguards suddenly fell down the ground.

"What's happening?! Are you both okay?!" I panicked and check on them. I screamed in horror when I noticed the blood that was coming out of their bodies as they groaned in pain. Looked like someone shot them using a gun with suppressor.

I quickly took my phone from my pocket and was about to call the police again when I saw someone emerged from the dark, approaching me. It was obvious that it was a guy but I couldn't recognize his face because he was wearing a black helmet. Then, I saw the gun that he was holding.

I was right. It was a gun with a suppressor. He was the one who shot my two bodyguards.

"W-Who are you?" I asked with a trembling voice but I tried not to succumb in fear. He didn't answer as if he didn't hear my question.

He continued coming closer to me and every step that he was taking was adding to my fear. Even though I didn't want it to control me, seeing the gun that he was holding was enough for me to get overwhelmed by intense fear.

I turned my back on him and was about to run away, taking my chances, but he managed to catch up to me and grabbed me by my wrist before pulling me roughly towards him.

"Let go of me! Help!" I screamed but looked like he got pissed off. He punched me on my stomach which took all my strength away. I felt like losing consciousness as I fell on the ground.

I tried to scream for help but I didn't have enough strength anymore. I panicked even more when he lifted me up onto his arms and carried me towards a black car.

"N-No...Let me go..." I tried to protest but he didn't listen. Inside of me, I was hoping for the police to arrive soon because I already called them before arriving here, but until he opened the car, not a single soul came. I didn't even hear any siren from them. He put me down onto the backseat and was about to close the door when we heard a voice.

"Let go of my daughter!" My eyes widened. That was surely my mother. He quickly pointed his gun towards them to eliminate them and the fear within me doubled. This time, my fear was for my mom.

"D-Don't..." I tried to get up and was about to kick him but he already pulled the trigger. I felt like my heart stop beating. I wanted to get out of the car to go to my mother but I didn't have enough strength, not to mention that he was blocking my way.

Then, the guy hurriedly closed the door, quickly got into the driver's seat and then drove off. I tried my best to see what was happening behind us and I felt relieved when I saw my mother and her guards got into the car to follow us.

Looked like no one among them got shot.

"W-Who are you?! Let me out of here! The police are surely going to come after you so you should surrender yourself now!" I tried to open the door but it was locked. I felt so scared but I knew that I should do something to get out of there as soon as possible before he could do something bad to me.
