Despite all precautions, their worst fears are realized when they are assassinated. In their wake secrets are revealed and the danger they did their best to prevent become terrifyingly clear.

The Letter II

Athena took out the second letter that was from her father, she didn't remember much of her dad as he was always absent from home most of the time, she opened the letter, and it read: 

Athena, 

I assume you've read the documents and also read your mom's letter. I'm sorry we didn't spend time with you and also sorry for the huge burden we've dumped on you, the items you've consumed should assist you with breaking the seal on your body, every human should've taken the liquid in the glass vial as it's the vaccination against the man-made virus that would be released into the air, it will either create super-powered humans or create monsters, this should all happen during the red moon and if you check the propaganda the government started should've started the spread of the vaccination a month ago and the release of the virus should start during the red moon , most humans who have taken the vaccines are either locked up in the hospital for quarantine or in their houses, once the vaccine starts acting up the red moon will appear and then things will escalate from there, before the vaccine starts acting up you should burn the villa not before taking useful stuffs and also take refuge in the church, by now you would've met either Evans or Quinn, they're good guys and I've put you in their care, you'll also meet a troubled young man in the church, stay away from his people or family. 

You'll have companions along the way don't trust everyone, I cannot tell you everything, but your skills would assist you along the way. You'll also meet some annoying people, don't let them get to you just know your parents loved you very much and we still do even in death, never doubt that.  

I and your mother would be watching you, to give guidance. 

Bye. 

Athena took every word her father said in the letter to her heart, she put both letters down then glanced at the clock, she noticed she had about eight or nine hours to get everything to get things done, glancing down at the ring on her finger she bit her finger then made sure to let a drop of blood fall on it, immediately after that was done she was instantly teleported to the space in the ring, the first she noticed was there was a sun and she could feel the wind in her hair, she glanced around and notice that the surrounding was filled with lush trees and there was a lake, she also noticed that there was about three mountains in the far distance but she couldn't be sure since that area was foggy. 

On the right side of the forest area there was a hut and a river flowing in the horizontal direction, looking around she saw a pavilion bridge made out of wood that led to the hut, beside the hut there was a garden which she assumed would be a planting space and behind the hut was a rocky waterfall.

She walked down to the pathway leading to the hut and pushed open the door of the hut, the inside was different from the outside, it looked like the villa her and her family lived in , she decided to explore a bit, there was not much difference from the villa in the space and the villa in the outside world, she walked down to the lower unit of the house and found a basement labelled storage room, the storage space was almost the size of a three football stadium and she couldn't even see the end to it, there were multiples doors and it had labels on it and what it could contain, she wondered when her parents found the time to do all that and how they got the ring in the first place. 

She left the basement area and walked up to the floor her parents' bedroom should be on she opened the room door and it was different, this room was a study, the layout was the same as her room in the outside world, she walked towards the table and on it there a were two papers, one contained the layout of the villa and the other told her the way the space worked. 

It turns out that that time flow was stagnant in the storage unit of the space, while time flow was quicker in where the planting could be done while the time flow in the villa area was relatively normal. She continued her exploration and found herself in the garage, it contained cars, RVs and Atvs. 

There was a gas pump at the back of the villa(Not the hut), she thought of how her parents really prepared her for the Apocalypse, coming out the space she went to her line up of computers and swept everything into her space, basically everything in her room (both the safe and the letters, documents) and her parent's room were swept into her space and placed where it should be. 

Athena glanced at the empty room before her before she made her way into the kitchen, she turned on the gas stove letting gas flow out she flashed into her space and took a dreg of fuel from the pump then poured it around the villa when she'd done everything, she took her backpack and walked towards the gate of the villa with her back pack, opening the gates wide she poured the remaining content in the dreg out, then took out a lighter lit it and threw it at the trail of fuel leading to the villa, she watched the fire follow the trail before walking away and closing the villa's gate when she was a good distance away from the villa she heard a bang and turned to look at the now in-flames villa. 

SIX HOURS BEFORE THE RED MOON 

Athena glanced at the church before walking into it while strapping her backpack tightly on her right shoulder, in the church there was a lady in a black turtleneck dress sitting on the aisle seat to her left, she seemed to be crying yet when Athena walked past her, she felt a sharp glare from the lady. 

"Hello, miss, are you here for confession?" the church staff asked. 

Athena shook her head her head, and walked past him to sit at an aisle sit at the front then bowed her head in a prayer like manner, after two minutes had passed, she felt someone walk up and sit beside her. 

"You know, if you are not here for confessions on a weekday like this, that can only mean one thing, you're like those girls here for Evans" 

Athena raised her head and saw it was the lady who glared at her from the back seat, she was confused at first till she heard Evans name, so she nodded and then said 

"I am indeed here for Evans; do you know when I can see him" 

This sentence only seemed to upset the woman before she threw a disdainful glance at Athena, she tutted and then said, "Evans isn't for the likes of you to see, all you young girls think it's because your parents have money, you can come into the church and act casually". 

"Is this lady having mental issues? what is she on about?" Athena thought in confusion.

Athena cocked her head to the side in confusion then decided to ignore her, since she could not understand what the lady was on about, seeing Athena ignore her the lady became more furious and was about to start another round of lecture luckily Evans came out. 

"Oh Athena, you're back" he said as he walked up to her. 

Athena stood up upon hearing Evans' voice and walked up to him to cover the distance. 

"You said to come back if I needed refuge" she stated 

Seeing this Evans smirked then said, "but I also stated it will cost you to be here"
