Unrealistic expectations

CHAPTER 19

There he was just sat there, hopelessly, blood gathering around his body, weak, helpless.

Dead.

He wasn't the first, won't be last. However this felt different, growing up in a fucked up house you learn how to defend yourself. But normally it never feels like this, the worst part?

I don't even know how it feels.

He thought I was stupid, careless.

Wrong.

I'm everything but that, he got himself in this situation, silly guy thought he could run away, be safe and scare me.

No.

Nothing scares me.

People do stupid things, they pay with their life, they feel hopeless like nothing will save them. I don't feel anything. Heartless better than heart full.

Something that made me stand out, I know how to play the part. You can never fool me, I know what will happen before you even know it's happening.

I get snapped out of my trance when I feel a vibration from inside my pocket. "Athena?"

"What?"

"Where are you?"

"Nowhere special. But I need some help."

"I'll be there send me the address"

GRAYSONS POV

Athena sent me an address. Not a normal address but instead one  in the middle of nowhere.

I walk into the house at the sight of the door already open and immediately a smell hits me. "What the fuck" i mutter as my eyes land on a body, not any body.

Cesar.

Laying on the ground with a red liquid all over him.

Blood.

Athenas sat at the table playing with a knife in her hand. She killed him. Athena Chapman killed Cesar.

Thoughts flood into my head, what's going on? When? How?

"Athena....put down the knife"I say except she doesn't move, carries on playing with the knife and keeps her gaze on the window.

Can she even hear me?

"Athena?"I repeat

Still nothing.

I take a step closer to her coming in frame with her face.

It's covered in blood.

I reach out to her hand and grab it gently, taking it out her hand. "Athena"I repeat, again.

She turns her head slowly to face me slowly. Her face is calm, relaxed she look so relieved.

Almost as if she's never been prouder than this very moment.

"Do not look at me like that"she snaps still keeping her gaze on the window. It's like she can feel my sadness for her, I know for a fact that only insanity would lead to this, Athena doesn't often loose control.

She doesn't like the feeling of loosing it, she hates it when she can't control her feelings.

"Are you okay?"

"More than okay, I'm fantastic" she says with pleasure.

I raise my eyebrows and turn my head back to the body. "What are we going-"I get cut off

"Burn it"she says sharply, almost like she lives the idea.

"Athena I don't think we should burn it, it's not that easy"
