"Willow.Please.Help me.Margret was killed.I just know they are going to get me next.Please help". "Fine child I will.I am sorry about Margret".She hid Young Oryn in the closet while she directed the people away. Athena comes out of the closest. "Thank you".For the next few days she stayed with Willow.When she left Athena snook Oryn into the house. "Ah I don't miss this." Oryn said while walking around. "Athena tonight is the night where things changes.I must warn you.The pain you are going to feel when she gives you that potion is not pleasant." "Can't I not have it." "You have to". Willow walks back into the house. "What is wrong child". "Give me whatever made you immortal." "Ah I see.Very well then". She grabs this bottle filled with a blood colored liquid in it. "I drank this about two hundred years ago.I just perfected the recipe.I've been meaning to give it to someone.But you will do." Athena remembered what Oryn had said. "How do I know you aren't going to poison me." "Trust me darling.I know what I am doing.Please don't make me change my mind." Athena grabbed the bottle.It was cold to the touch.She took off the lid.She turned around.She looked at Oryn and then at the liquid.She closed her eyes and remembered her whole life.She took a deep breath and drank it.

At the last drop her hand tensed up and dropped the bottle.It shattered on the floor.Athena held her chest.She felt as if her heart was going to explode.She fell to the floor and screamed.Her vision went in and out.She saw Willow looking down at her.She also saw Oryn looking down at her with concern.She wanted the pain to stop.When she took her last breath she felt her consciousness leave her body as well as quickly going straight back into her.She opened her eyes and took deep breaths.She looked around and everything was clear looking.She sit up and looked at her hands.She felt an urge of electricity go through her.She got up.She met eyes with a dagger.

She turned around and looked at willow. "Well I guess it worked".She looked like she saw a ghost.She took a few steps back.Young Oryn went up to her and put the dagger to her neck. "You will never get away with this". "I already am".She slit Willow's head.She grabbed the book.And ran out of the house. 'Oh my.Oryn.I just killed someone." "Calm down.That's only one of hundreds." "What.I can't do that again". "You will be fine."

They walk through the forest*

"So when did you meet Edmond?" "In about two hundred years." "What". "Yes.I just lived for those years in these woods and occasionally visit town". "That must be so hard for you." "No.It wasn't.I was always seen as the beautiful girl but I was strange." "What do you mean." "Ah I love this story.From the time I turned fourteen I was the girl that everyone in town wanted.I would wake up and there would be gifts on my doorsteps.New suitors everyday.It was fun.I mean getting to mess around with different guys everyday was fun.But the day I met Margret I didn't care about that anymore.She was the one I wanted.I tried to deny it.But it was the truth.She wouldn't escape my brain.Normally I would be able to get her out of my head but sh was different.By the time realized I had feelings for her she was having a fling with sir Thomas.He and I had history so I did like them together.He was who you younger folks would call a fuck boy.He had no care for no one's feelings.One night though.We were at a party.Had a little to drink and snuck off.We ended up kissing.It was.I don't know.The feeling.It was...extrondianry.After that night we would sneak around.Until one day her family left town for a few years.I went back to my old self.Until one day.I had no new suitors or gifts.I went into town to see why.Margret was back and she was diamond of the town.She was more beautiful than ever.She cut her hair and she looked more put together.Before I was able to speak to her.My father pulled me away.I remember those words he told me.He said you must marry now.You are getting to old.All of your suitors are either done waiting or they are married.I can't keep stalling for you no longer.I looked at my mum but she agreed with him.I had a brother named George.He had married a girl named Freya but he had gone to war.He was the one who was supposed to carry on this family not me.He had died.So my parents decided that now they wee going to force me to wed.They put me in a white dress.They were going to marry me off to an old man.He was creep.I ran off.I ran through these woods.I fell and hit my head.My mother took me back home.She wasn't going to force me to marry.My mother was kind.Her and my fought over this.But I promised them if I don't find love by age nineteen then they could choose whoever I was going to marry.After hearing the news.I ran to see Margret.But she was with Thomas." She looked up and stopped. "Ah here is the field.Sit down Athena and I will tell you more of my story".
