ATHENA'S POVI fluttered my eyes open as I came back to consciousness. Although, it didn't make any difference, but I could feel I was in a different world.I managed to stand to my knees, and coughed out. Then I used my hand to touch the ground, in search of my cane.“Here, Athena.” Daniel handed over the cane to me.Then I collected it, and leaned on it to stand.“Thanks. Are… are we there yet?” I asked, out of curiosity.“Yes, we are.” “Alright then. So, what's next?”“We have to walk a bit further, and we'll know where next to go.” Daniel responded, and he held my hand as we moved slowly.I was more anxious at the moment. I knew we were already at the land of fear and as we were moving futher and deeper into the land, anything scary could come up.I still felt insecure, despite the fact that Daniel was with me. What was I going to do if something huge comes our way? Just run?Or what if Daniel felt that he was too slow because of me, and then decided to leave me.“Don't think too
Chapter 28ATHENA'S POVI struggled so hard against the snake but it was too huge and strong for me to go against.It was becoming too difficult to hold my breath for that long as the snake still held me down deep inside the river.Only the moon goddess knows how deep we have gotten into the water. What I was hoping for was that the snake wouldn't chop off my head after ensuring it had gotten a good grasp of me.There was no more strength for me to wiggle out of the snake's grasp, and I hadn't felt Daniel's presence yet.Could I even feel a presence inside this river and apart from that, the state I was in, presently.I was almost suffocating, and losing the will to fight anymore. But before I gave up, I heard the snake cry in pain as it began to unwrap itself around me.Even as it was releasing me of it's grip, I still didn't have the strength to swim up. But before I gave up totally, I felt Daniel's hand hold me tight, and pull me out of the river, and soon, we were on the other sid
ATHENA'S POV“What? What do you mean by we are in a danger hut?” I asked, beginning to fear that we had just gotten from frying pan to fire.“This is a hut where crazy crocodiles stay.” Daniel responded in a low tone.“Crazy? Why are they called crazy?”“They sleep deeply, but the moment you wake them up with noise, they would track and hunt you until you're out of the forest. And that can make it difficult for us to focus on our destination here, and the little things we are to take note of. So, don't make noise.” I nodded my head, and pursed my lips as tight as I could. There was no way I would want a bask of crocodiles after me. Not when I couldn't see, which would also be a heavy burden on Daniel.“As soon as I perceive that the monster is gone, then we can make our next move.” Daniel spoke, and I nodded in response.About what seemed like thirty minutes passed before Daniel said it was okay for us to leave now. We carefully walked out of the danger hut, and ensured we attracted
OCTAVIA'S POVI was a bit worried about how Alpha Jeremy had been acting worried. I figured out why he had been this way, and it burdened my heart that I wasn't able to help him in the least way.He wouldn't even accept sex because he was too worried. Then I received a text, and I checked it.“I have a solution to the problem growing in the palace. But I will take something in return. If you are interested in knowing further, come to the address attached at the end of this text.”I became so curious, and hurried out of the house after having my bath, then went to the address.It was a mansion, and the moment I was ushered in, I discovered it was our enemy pack's abode.As soon as their leader walked to the sitting room, I decided to turn back, hoping that I would be allowed to go scot-free.“Where are you going, Octavia? Don't you want to put a smile on your husband's face anymore?”“You are our enemy, and I shouldn't involve myself with you. You are the ones behind Henry being uncons
ATHENA'S POVMy eye lids fluttered open as I gained my consciousness back. It felt as if I had been out for long, but there was no way I could find out.I guess the old man must be really tricky. Since he stays in a place like this, obviously, he was someone we ought to be wary of.It meant he could have sent Daniel out to get him an apple because he wanted to capture me.By the way, where was I? Right there, I realized that there was too much heat where I was, and when I tried to sit up, my head hit something wooden.I became alert, and used my hands to feel my surrounding. No matter how far my hands wanted to reach, there was always a wooden covering, restricting them like I was placed in a box.Hold on. Could it be that I was placed in a coffin? A gasp of shock escaped my mouth as I used my hands to trace the shape and confirmed that I was truly in a coffin.Fear gripped me and it became a bit difficult to breathe. I wondered if he has buried me deep into the ground.Oh, no. That m
ATHENA'S POV“What's going on, Daniel?” I asked in a low tone, and in fear.“Whatever she says to you or make you feel, do not believe her. Do not let her make you feel fear or it'll get real.” Daniel said in a hurry, and then I heard a snap of a finger.I covered my ears with my hands as it was piercingly loud. And out of the blue, I felt alone. I could no longer feel Daniel's presence.I was left with my cane only, and the air was chilly. Also, it felt as if I was on a vast land that was dark, but was illuminated by the moon light.Then I heard a light, but echoing cackle.“Where am I? Where's Daniel?” I asked, with a shaky voice.“Do you need to know when you can't see?” She cackled again. “Anyways, prepare to bid goodbye to the earth, because you will not live to see your loved ones and friends when my pet is done with you.” My heart skipped a beat in anxiousness. Was she really planning to kill me? No, no. It can't be. Daniel already said I shouldn't believe whatever she says or
ATHENA'S POVI looked around in fear, and tried to move away as fast as I could, probably I could find a place to hide, but it felt as if each place I turned to, the monster was still coming from that angle.“Shit! What do I do?” I muttered under my breath, feeling like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.Then I heard a loud cackle again from Naamah. She seemed to derive pleasure from my fear, and even as much as I tried to overcome the fear, and think it wasn't real, it was all futile.“Help! Daniel, help me!” I called out to him, but Naamah's cackle only increased more, and it became even more difficult to think that Daniel would be able to help me this time.Soon, I felt a cold chill around me, like a creature who I wasn't noticing it's presence was breathing cold breath on me.“Please let me go.” I pleaded, beginning to lose hopes that I would make it out of here.“You really are something, Athena. Didn't you know that you should be expecting things like this in a journey
OCTAVIA'S POVWhile Alpha Jeremy was out to somewhere which I feel is important, but he didn't want to tell me about it, I was on the bed, feeling a bit lonely.Usually, he doesn't deprive me of his attention, but these days, especially since Henry came back wounded and had not healed, he seemed to be in a different world.Did it mean that he cared about Henry more than he cared about me? That was unfair, and uncalled for.He was supposed to talk to me and ask me to be patient with him or something, just so I wouldn't feel left out but he didn't do any of that.Suddenly, I got a text from the leader of the Dark Crescent Gang. Why was he texting me again? I had said to myself that I wouldn't go back to him or sort as I felt this feeling of guilt all through.“Why don't you come over to my house again, and then you get another information for him?”I scoffed, and rolled my eyes, then I sent a text back to him telling him “To hell with your information.”I wanted to clear off any form of
