- Athena Adrianne -

Bandang alas kwatro ng hapon napagdesisyunan ni Athena na umakyat para mag pahinga. She was hanging out at the garden with Blake while their Mother is back in the main library to work on some papers she took home. Seige and Zeus are somewhere in the house.

Iniwan niya si Blake na nag pa-practice ng archery.

Habang paakyat, wala naman siyang naramdamang kakaibang presensya sa buong bahay not until she opened the door of her room...

"Holy shit!"

Tinakpan agad ni Athena ang kanyang bibig and kicked the door close behind her. "I uhm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that... you just scared me" Nahihiya niyang saad kay Ambrose.

Her cheeks is flaming right now. She rarely curse, when she does kailangan talaga sa harap pa ng isang anghel? Talk about eternal embarrassment.

Ambrose chuckled and dropped the book he was holding. His forefinger drifted to his lips, "Shhh"

Athena's forehead creased, confused by his actions and his whole presence but gave him a nod.

Ambrose's eyes wandered to her room while Athena's eyes are stuck on him.

"I thought you preferred to stay on the sidelines," she said.

"We had a task that involves trespassing"

We? "Hindi ka nag iisa dito ngayon?"

"Amarande is somewhere inside the mansion" Ambrose's answers were clipped and reserved. Athena wondered what was wrong. Bakit nasa bahay nila ang mga anghel ngayon?

"I didn't feel your presence..." she slowly came into a conclusion. Kaya sobrang gulat niya nang makita si Ambrose sa kanyang kwarto dahil hindi niya naramdaman ang presensya nito. She can't feel Amarande either, whereas Seige...

"You sent Seige here to distract us," she stated.

"We needed a distraction and Seige was willing to help"

"What's happening?" Athena suddenly felt alarmed.

"Something really important that you shouldn't know about yet"

They were both silent for a few seconds. Hindi lubos maisip ni Athena kung ano ang posibleng pakay ng mga ito sa bahay nila.

"Is there something wrong?"

Ambrose's lips curved into a small smile. He then motioned for her to stay quiet again. Why was he subtly telling her to shut up?

"Are you listening to something?" Athena's eyes narrowed. Is that why he's shutting her up in a nice way?

Ambrose's smile did not falter. His not so innocent look was enough confirmation for Athena. He is listening to something!

"Hindi mo pa nagagawa ang gusto mong gawin" Sabi ni Ambrose pagkatapos ng ilang segundo.

Alam agad ni Athena kung ano ang tinutukoy nito.

"About Enzo," she sighed. "Something came up---"

"I know," Ambrose laughed. "When you finally do, all the Nephilims are willing to guide you to Mermont"

"I'll keep that in mind" She nodded.

Because of what happened, she didn't have the heart para bigyan pa ng karagdagang problema o iisipin pa si Enzo.

Her thoughts were cut off when Ambrose suddenly announced,  "Our job here is done" he was by the open window a second later.

"Wait---" but he was already out.
