A New Fight

The Pain

Chapter 10

Athena POV 
 
I can’t take it, I'm all alone, people know who I am, but I don’t know myself.

Then I hear a knock in the door “it unlocked” I say between sobs. I hear the door open and then quickly close.

“Athena, can I help” oh gosh, I remember that I left Nimi there all alone.

“Nimi, I’m so sorry for leaving you there, I just, I… I couldn’t” I start to cry, and I go back to hugging your pillow. I said I would protect her, but I left her, and god knows what they did to her.

“It ok, they were nice to me, I need to know that you’re ok, see” she says then I feel a hand on my head “you’re not alone you have me” I look up to see a loving smile from her, she’s right, I'm not alone you just have to let people in on your life.

I sit up and she grabs a tissue and wipes my eyes. “There, better?” she says calmly.

“Yes, thank you Nimi” I smile then she gives you a big hug, I just smile, how can such a precious thing be treated like this, I now have a purpose. 

To protect her and make sure she sees her sister’s again. 

But then I collapsed. It feels like something is ripping your heart out.

“everything ok” Nimi says with a panicked look on her face

“the pain" then I black out
 
Akashi
 
“nyaa... akagi you sure this is ok... akashi has bad feelings about this” I say akagi and kaga are following you through the new royal navy destroyer.

“stop complaining. We agreed to your price, no do what you’re being paid to do” says akagi. 

That paid well. double normal rate. But something is off. They're paying me just to show them around and to make sure they don’t accidently do any damage. 

What hurts more is they have a live feed to the admirals. Akashi doesn't like this. And judging by the look on Kaga's face she doesn't like this as well.

“ok” I say. I have already shown them the bridge, engine, cafeteria and recreation room

“Where would the admirals like to go now? “ I ask, Akagi puts her hand up to her ears, and talks quietly so I can’t hear what is being said but then she says.

“they want to see the wisdom cube” THEY WHAT, well at least they only want to see it.

“ok, this way” I lead them through the ship to reach the wisdom cube chamber.

This is not right, but it pays well. There is a blue cube in the centre hovering at head height. But I can’t look so I close my eyes as I open the door.

“what that” says akagi, I open my eyes the cube... it...it’s... red.

“I do not understand nyaa this is baddd" I  say then akagi put her hand to her ear

“akashi"

“yes"

“the admirals want it, get it for them”

“akagi do you know how risky that is when the girls been prepared, she will die without preparing her” she then puts her hand up to her ears

“admirals are willing to pay whatever you what, name your price”

“Triple what you’re already paying me for this" that 6 times my normal fee

“done” true to her word. I pulled out my tablet and the funds have been transferred, I should have asked for more. I grab a container and start to gently move the cube in it, the ship creaks and moans. This is not good nyaa.
