THE silenced felt too painful for Athena as her ears rang due to the gunshots. She pressed her fists on her mouth more tightly. Her body trembled as she hiccuped.
A sob escaped past her lips when the wooden floor creaked loudly under the footsteps. The loud thud in the room made her jump. She held her breath as her heart was ready to burst.
"Little doe. . ." Saint's breathless voice whispered in the silence. Athena cried in relief. She tried to move but her muscles were numb due to lying in a same position. With much difficulty she removed the wooden board and crawled out of the uncomfortable gap.
Her blurry eyes adjusted to the light coming from the living room. She whipped her head to the side. Saint was on the floor breathing heavily. Athena crawled towards him.
"S-Saint?" Her voice shook. Saint coughed slowly and groaned when he tried to sit up. Athena immediately held him. She gasped when she noticed that he was totally covered in blood. His arm was around his chest.
She tried to control her panic as she gulped the lump forming in her throat. Saint's stomach was bleeding. Athena tried to process the whole situation in her mind. Her trembling legs moved to the drawer where the clothes were. She took as many shirts as she could grab.
"I-It's o-okay-y. . ." Athena whispered to him when he groaned in pain. She tied the shirts around his wound to stop the blood flow. She had to blink hard to not to faint. She stood up and searched the medical kit in the house.
She found the gauze tape, cotton and ointment in the living room. The tears finally rolled on her cheeks when she teared his shirt. There was a big gash under his ribs.
She tried to hum a low tune to soothe his nerves though her voice trembled. Saint opened his eyes and stared at her paniced form.
Though it hurt like hell but sensing her this much close to him as her hands touched his bare skin, gave butterflies to his stomach.
Everytime she'd clear his wound she'd wince. She bit her lip to prevent them from wobbling. Saint smiled slightly when she blew on his stomach to make it less painful. And her little acts were actually working on him.
"Shh it's o-okay." Saint wanted to chuckle so bad at that. She was treating him like a baby though he knew she needed the sentence for herself. He smiled slowly and nodded.
lWhen Athena was done with his stomach her eyes moved to the numerous small cuts on his chest and arms. Some of them were deep.
Saint knew that she was starting to get panic as judging by her breathing. His hand moved to her head. He swallowed the hiss of pain when his muscles stretched painfully.
Athena sighed as Saint ran his fingers through her hair. She grabbed his hand and passed him a little smile that was enough to make his heartbeats irregular.

Saint listened to her fast beating heart as she stroked his hair. He snuggled closer to her. His nose rubbed against her neck making her shiver.
"S-Saint y-your wou-"
Saint silenced her by planting his sinful lips on her skin. She gasped slowly. Saint wanted to remain in the same position for so long but he had to move away, much to his disappointment.
"What- Saint where are y-" Saint wrapped his hand around her neck gently and captured her lips. Athena gasped when he bit her lip. His inner beast groaned. Athena moaned and placed her hand on his. His thumb rubbed the side of her neck as he let her go.
"Do you trust me?" He asked her. She nodded without any hesitation. Saint stood up. Athena bit her lip in worry. Saint motioned her to follow him. She was on his side immediately. She heard the front door opening.
The panic rose in her chest. Her eyes moved to Saint.
"The f*ck you doin' here I-" Athena flinched as the person began shouting as soon as he saw them.
"Lorenzo watch that language." Saint growled at him. Lorenzo was about to say something until he saw trembling Athena beside his friend. He exhaled heavily and rolled his eyes.
"The car's ready. We have to fu*king hurry." Lorenzo gritted his teath and walked out slamming the door shut. Saint clenched his jaw and grabbed Athena's hand.
"Look down. Don't look up until we reach the car."
Athena wanted to ask him where they were going and who was the furious boy driving the car but she kept her mouth shut. The darkness of the night was fading slowly into light blue and pink colors.

Someone shook her shoulder. Athena woke up with a jolt in her body. She looked around her. She was still in the car but Saint wasn't beside her. Her heart nearly stopped until a voice spoke beside her.
"He's safe and getting his treatment. Now if you please come out." The same rude boy told her. She nodded and stepped out. She noticed that she was in the narrow alley.
She had no time to look around as Lorenzo was already walking ahead. She followed him immediately. They entered in the building. Lorenzo checked the lifts and cussed under his breath when every lift was closed.
By the time they reached the apartment, she was panting hard. Lorenzo threw a look at her before going inside. She wanted to trust him as he was someone Saint knew so she took a deep breath and followed him.
