The Midnight Dance

Chapter IV

Athena's pov

can't stay there anymore. I need to get the hell out of here. What would my mother do if she was in my place? Run away, obviously. Cassandra was a spirit free woman, she didn't let anything or anyone keep her locked up againster her will. She would have escape in the first week here, she would never be a coward like me and just accept the destiny the others give her. 

I was so similar yet so different from mother...How could I be such a scared, little girl, letting the others tell me what to do, eat, think... Mother is probably disappointed if she can see me right now.

I can't stop thinking...when am I start to act like a proper woman? I am daughter of the most Prestigious stylist in the whole country, the sweetest, brave woman I ever met.

The life they put infront of me is over now. Im getting the fuck out of this hell.

---------------------------------------------------

When Alysson comes to give me the medicine, I was in my bed, breathing heavly, holding my belly.

"Athena? Are you feeling alright?" Alysson rushed towards me.

"My stomach really hurts...." I cried. Gasping in pain.

"Come on, dear, let's check the doctor, okay? It must been something you ate today.." she say, taking my arm and leading me to the door. As soon as we reach the doctor office, Alysson walked away after I walk into the room, looking at Dr. Smith.

"what the hell do you want, Athena?" he grumbled.

"my...my stomach hurts..a-a lot.." i cried 

He put on his gloves, approaching me. He sighs "You just bring trouble, you know that? Your father should pay me a lot more to keep you here"

I don't answer, just breath quickly. My heart beating hard with anger as I think about my father giving money to this man to keep me lock in here. As he approach me, I quickly grabbed a pair of scissors, that he had forgot to remove from his desk when i walked in, standing up and poiting it to his face.

He froze with shock and anger. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? Put that down right now!"

I shook my head, not looking away. "You're going to tell what I want to know. Now" I hissed throught my teeth.

"Are you threathing me?" he raised an eyebrow, a small smirk appearing on his face.

I smile synically "I am warning you, doctor." i walk closer "You don't have a choise." My hand hit his stomach, the points of the scissors pierced his clothes and then his skin, digging into his flesh, making him scream in pain, trying to take it off. But he knew it would only make things worse if he did.

His blood drip from the wound, to the object i am holding, to my hand. 

Joy and adrenaline rushes through my whole body, filling me with ecstasy. I never felt so alive before. The pain in his eyes, alongside with the surprise was... thrilling. I feel everything...the fear, the pain, the shock....the power i have over him.

"now...are you going to tell me what I need to know?" I smirk.

From this very moment...I make my choise. For the first time, I will choose myself. I will take control of my own destiny. I'll break everyone that tried to break down my spirit. From now on, everything will change.
