Chapter Fifty-four: The lesser of two evils

- Athena Adrianne -

Athena had trouble concentrating. She tried standing in the middle of the platform, praying hard to vanish and open her eyes in a different time pero kahit anong gawin niya walang nangyayari.

Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga. Buti pa ang Kuya niya may katulong. She hoped her Father was here to help her train...

She's done for today. Hindi na niya pipilitin ang sarili niya kung wala namang nangyayari.

Athena sighed and pouted. Naupo siya sa platform at tinignan ang walang buhay niyang training room.

She made a mental note na mag reklamo tungkol dito. Her training room looks lifeless and it's not helping her focus. Hindi naman siya katulad ni Zeus na kailangan mag sira ng gamit dito, all she had to do is focus and snap back to a different time. But it's easier said than done.

Sinabihan na siya noon kung may ipapapalit ba siya sa training room pero sa iba nakalaan ang atensyon niya kaya heto siya ngayon.

"It looks like I'm in a silent room in an asylum. Kulang nalang ng straight jacket," Athena mumbled.

Ginulo niya ang kanyang buhok and tried to imagine the different times she wants to travel into. Bakit hindi niya magawa? She's done it before. All she had to do was visualize the place and time.

Kailangan niya pa mag tanong ng pointers kay Ambrose. She had to ask him if meron ngang mali sa kanya ngayon kaya nag ma-malfunction ang ability niya. Is that even possible though?

Ilang araw na rin niyang hindi nakikita si Ambrose. Kahit na dayuhin niya ang cemetery wala ito. Neither is Amarande. Para bang sumabay ang mga ito sa pagkawala ni Seige.

Baka naman may nangyari talaga...

Iniisip niya iyon habang wala si Seige. Sumasagap rin siya ng balita sa mga lakad ng Kuya niya sa Diner. The other angels were there pero bakit ang apat ay wala?

Sasabihin naman siguro niya sa'kin kung may mali. Or being the mischievous angel he is, he will leave me guessing until I finally figure it out.

Yeah, Athena thought it might be the latter.

Nag prisinta siyang tumulong kay Aria and train. That's what Ambrose wants her to do. She's struggling with training at mukhang may sakit na naman si Aria tulad ng sabi nito, kailangan ba niyang sabihin ito kay Ambrose?

Now that Seige is back baka bumalik na rin ito.

She won't find out if she keeps sitting here...

Tumayo na si Athena at dumiretso na sa pinto, as she was about to step out narinig din niya ang pag bukas ng pinto sa kabilang room. Specifically Enzo's room.

Kumabog agad ang kanyang dibdib and she slammed the door close louder than she intended.

Tinalikuran niya ito at hiniling na sana hindi siya napansin ni Enzo.

Oh hell.

Iyon nalang ang naisip ni Athena nang marinig niya ang katok sa pinto.

"Aiane!" Sunod na sigaw ni Enzo.

For a second Athena wanted to act like she's invisible and pretend she's not hearing anything. Why can't she act like a real vampire for once and just made a run for it nung marinig palang niya ang pag bukas ng pinto ng room ni Enzo but no she had to act like a little girl hiding from her crush.
