[Athena Ophelia]

It's been a few days since the day that Ares passed away. Iris was doing great. While I, on the other hand, tried so hard to figure a way out of this mess

"Damn it!"I groaned once i realized i've typed the wrong essay

"Don't be too stressed"Someone said and i snap my head towards the kitchen. Seth was there, a sly smirk plastered across his face

"W-what are you doing here? What do you want?"I asked

"How did you get in?"I asked

"Okay one by one, missy"He said

"First, i'm here because i want you to come with me"He said

"And second, your sister was easy to held at gunpoint"He said

"No,"I whispered feeling the tears rushing down my cheek

"She's the only family i have left! Why would you d--"

"Sh, we don't want neighbours to complain"He said putting his finger infront of my mouth to shut me up

"You bastard!"I yelled slapping him and his head turned to the side

"Ouch,"He said chuckling

"Stay away from me!"I said and started to walk backwards

"Oh c'mon don't be like that"He said walking closer towards me

"Just come with me"He said wiping away the tears from my cheek

"I am not going anywhere with you"I said clearly and he chuckled. He snap his fingers and Iris was dragged into the living room with someone behind her

"Iris,"I whispered

"Athena, d--"

"Let her go"I said

"I was planning to before you make your decision for not going with me. Now there's consequences"He said and noding at the guy.

"Athe--"

Crack!

"Iris!"I yelled and he doesn't let go of me. His men dragged her out of the house and i struggle to break away from his grip

"I will ruin you, Athena"He said grabbing me by my jaw harshly

"I will ruin you. Slowly and painfully. I've took everything from you. Your mother, brother and sister. I will take everyone you love away from you"He said

"I don't love anyone. I have no one to love anymore"I whispered

"Yes you do, that kiss was so emotional from the night you both return from my parents building"He said and i widen my eyes

"Or when you both kissed after the horrible dinner"He said smirking

"I will not hesitate to kill him"He continued

"Just imagine him surrender because of a girl"He chuckled and i feel the tears rushing down my cheek. He let go of my jaw harshly and i started to sob. I fall down on my knees and cried. He left the house and i started to cry harder. I find my phone and dial his number

"What do you want?"He asked and i tried to calm myself down. I wipe away the tears and took a deep breath

"I don't have all day"He said

"Shawn,"I whispered quietly. I doubt that he could hear me

"Are you okay?"He asked. His voice immediately turned into a concerned tone

"Y-you were right"I said quietly

"What happened? Where are you?"He asked

"He's here. He-he killed her infront of me. He killed Iris, Shawn"I sobs

"I-i don't know what to do! I lost everyone"I said

"It's okay"He said and i hear a car engine starting

"I don't want you to get hurt. He's putting a hit on you"I said quietly and it was silent for a while

"I'll be there soon"He said

"Calm down, okay? I'm taking a shortcut"He said and i nod. The tears fall down my cheek and sobs left my mouth. I hang up the phone and tried to clam fown my sobs. The front door opened and Shawn instantly rushed towards me

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay"He said pulling me into a hug and i cried harder

"What did he do to you?"He asked running a hand in my jaw. I wince and that's when i notice i have a bruise forming around my jaw

"He-he grabbed me"I said quietly

"It's okay, i'm here"He said and somehow the sobs started leave my mouth uncomfortably

"Athena, calm down"He said

"Look at me,"He said grabbing my face gently

"I'm here, okay? Calm down"He said

"Deep breaths. C'mon, Athena"He said and i started to calm myself down. He wipes away the tears and let out a quiet sigh. Once i was calm, he pulled me into a hug

"You're going home with me"He said taking his phone out. He talked over the phone and grabbed me bridal style from the ground to his car. He started the car and soon, i find myself asleep.

I blink a few times and looked around the familiar room. The shower was on and i look at the bedside table. The bathroom door opened and he walked out with a sweatpants only

"Morning"He said grabbing a white t-shirt and slipping it on

"Morning,"I replied getting out of the bed

"Do you have an extra toothbrush?"I asked

"Right cabinet"He said and i nod. I close the door and started to find the toothbrush. I brush my teeth and wash my face before going out of the bathroom.

"Here's your clothes. Jack and Sammy got them for you"He said and i thanked him

"Hey,"He said grabbing my hand

"How are you feeling?"He asked and i looked out at the window. I look at him before walking to the window and closing it

"What was that for?"He asked rising one of his eyebrow

"He saw us,"I trailed off, not able to finish the sentence

"Saw what?"He asked with a smirk appearing across his face

"He saw us together"I said sounding more like a question

"Hm, doing what?"He said grabbing my face in his hands and i stay quiet. I'm currently unable to fight back against him in situations like this

"Did he saw me doing this to you?"He asked kissing my neck softly. My breath hitched and i can feel the smirk forming in his lips

"Or this"He said kissing right under my ear

"N-no"I said

"Then he didn't even see the real show yet"He said

"W-what do you mean by that?"I asked

"Trust me. You don't wanna know"
