A Thousand Years, Stefan Salvatore

098. MARRY ME, ATHENA

Chapter ninety eight

"Marry me, Athena."

Walking out of the crypt, Athena was walking on the street as Silas followed "where are you going?" Silas asked her "away from you!" Athena voiced, and as she did, Silas laughed "okay, I know it's been awhile since last time we met but you realize that on your death bed you said, I am with you Silas, always. Your in my mind, body and soul. Even in death. We will see each other again. And look at that you killed me and I told you before that, that we'd be together on the other side and you died and now here you are! It's fate can't you see that!" he voiced, as the two had walked down the road and into the grill.

Which was empty, although Athena expected to have found at least a vampire slaying drunk history teacher to help her get Silas off her back "are you even listening to me?" Silas asked her, as Athena turned to him "yes I said that! But coming from the women who's lived countless lives out of all the versions of you I've met your the worst! I mean yes, I am thankful that you saved my life after I had no choice but to be fed to you for you to wake up whether you lived or died. But then you turned from my savior to a psycho! Warping my brain with your powers into making me fall in love with! Where when the version of you who I fell in love with tried to win me back! You stabbed him! And then not only chained me up but kidnapped me! Tortured me!" she voiced.

Scoffing "so yes I am listening to you because even in death your still always the one talking but I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for the chanting psycho Markos who just like Qestiyah decided to take advantage of our love and used it for another blood ritual to create a spell that undos magic! Which I got caught in and I bled out and died and now I'm here with you!" she voiced, as she started laughing "I'm dead." she said, turning around, she ran her hands through her hair "I am actually dead." she shared, as it all began to actually set in seeing as she's never been dead like this before, as she began to pace.

Silas looked at her with furrowed brows "Athena, it's gonna be okay, the darkness isn't gonna get you. You'll find peace." he shared, as Athena turned to him "peace? Peace!" she voiced, stepping toward's him "I've never had peace in my life! And any moment me and you any version of you even remotely get there someone or something takes it away!" she voiced, holding her hand up with the ring on it "I was supposed to get married!" she voiced, shaking her head "but why would you care? Your one of the many reasons my life sucks! You say you love me but I got trapped in stone twice because of you!" she yelled, feeling like she was gonna cry.

But she wasn't about to cry in front of him, as she turned kicking a table over "and now I'm once again stuck with you in a place I can't escape!" she voiced, picking up a chair and smashing it on the floor, Silas stood there and watched her, where as Athena picked up one of the pieces of wood, Silas ran up to her "stop. Stop!" he voiced, ripping it out of her hand, Athena then began punching him in the chest "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" she voiced, hitting him over and over.

And as she did, Enzo had walked into the grill, watching the two "am I interrupting something?" he asked, and when he did, Athena turned and looked at him "yes." her and Silas told him, and when they did, Enzo furrowed his brows looking at Athena and then to Silas "I thought you were Silas?" he asked "I am." Silas told him "he is." Athena told him "but you seem very.." Enzo questioned "close?" Silas asked, raising his brows "when I said he was Stefan's original doppelganger. I neglected to mention the original version of me loved him. And that when he tortured and tried to kill us.." Athena shared.
