Athena.

I am overwhelmed by the sound and light, so I fall to the ground and cover my ears and close my eyes and scream as loud as I can, and even when I feel myself being moved, I continue screaming and covering myself I felt as if I was stuck in these actions.

I am moved outside, and I feel myself slowly calming down.

The wind is relaxing; it blows like a soft wave of water going against your skin; it reminds me of something. Promise me... promise me... promise me... promise me...

"Aria! Aria! Aria!" I am quickly snapped out of my trance, confused, it is Skaii.

"Huh..." I say,

"Are you okay?" I do not know how to answer that

"Uhm yeah...yeah" I say and give a tight-lipped smile

"It's time to go inside to talk to Athena". So that is who decided to give the most dramatic entrance of the century

"Okay, I'll be right in" I walk into the house, and I see a woman with green hair with flowers in her hair and of course the glowing eyes, she has very soft, feminine features.

She smiles as she sees me and gives a slight chuckle "I should really stop teleporting near newcomers, you guys don't really handle that well"

She gives me a sheepish smile and hands me her hand to greet me

" Forgiven"

she holds my hands and chants a prayer, and her eyes turn from brown to blue, and her hair flies up and glows; she holds a little harder, and I feel myself being pulled in; everything around me starts looking distorted and blurry.

I see a brief picture of red dry desert land with few trees in a mountain area, and in front of me appears a deer feeding on a small patch of grass; it looks up to look at me in my eye and screams; the picture fades away and I am shocked back to consciousness.

I look at Athena in front of me and her eyes and ears are bleeding. She gasps and let us go of my hands like they are burning hot; her hair turns brown and her eyes green puts her hand on my cheek

"You are as lost as a sheep without it’s shepherd. You need to find yourself for all our sakes” She stands up abruptly before I get to react and teleports away.

"Don't worry about what Athena said she often says weird things " Skaii says, and I chose not to tell her about my vision and give her a tight-lipped smile “But what did she mean for all our sakes?

“As I said do not take whatever she says to heart, all you have to worry about now is what you are going to wear for your meeting with the council” I can tell she is not telling me something I know she is worried too.

#

My head hurts from all the thinking. I am still trying to figure out the voices I am hearing; it is a girl's voice. I wonder who she was or is to me, ugh! This is all so frustrating. I need to go take a shower to clear my head. The water is so relaxing it is enough to clear my mind for a few moments.

-flashback-

"Promise me Aria, promise me baby" confused. I furrow my brows, "okay, okay I promise"

-time skip-

Miss Valentio, please come to the headmistress' office. I hear it through the speakers.

I hear it over the speakers. What does she want now? I think as I walk through the cold hallways of my school.

I reach her office and sit uncomfortably in the chair as I look at her and as always, she is wearing a grey two-piece suit with black stockings and black heels.

She looked at me with her cold eyes and says, "Please have a seat miss Valentio, I regret to inform you 'friend' miss Larson passed away la-" a mix of extreme shock and disbelief flowed through me.

I did not even let her finish her sentence before I screamed "what! Nooooo! You are lying" I stand up, sobbing. She hands Lucy her favourite sweater

"Her parents said she wanted you to have this, close the door behind you miss Valentio"

-end-

I felt crippling grief. I collapsed to the ground and curled up in a ball and let out a shrill scream; the misery was unbearable. I felt so desolate. I sat there crying my eyes out, then everything went dark.

I woke up in my bed and I have a headache. What happened, I think, to myself, oh well? I walk to the living room, and everyone keeps quiet, and they give me a weird look

"What?" They all give each other a 'look'

"Are you feeling alright sugar?" Gaia asks concerned, and I am confused. Okay, what is going on?

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”
