Lauren Holness

Athena and I left the space after I bid goodbye to London. London smirked at me and I secretly flipped her off. Athena escorted us outside and those close by looked at her hand that was around my waist and I tried not to make eye contact with them.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" She asked as we walked towards... a garden? I didn't know this was here.

Flowers of different species bloomed in the garden. They looked healthy, no weeds in sight and they were recently watered. From what I could tell, there were roses, sunflowers, lilies and others. I don't know a lot of flowers but she has variety.

I nodded in agreement.

"I didn't know this was here." I said and Athena had a scissors in her hand, green magic glistening around it before it disappeared.

Woah.

She cut a rose and handed it to me. I smiled at the gesture and smelled the rose.

I hummed in satisfaction.

"It's mine. I don't let anyone attend to it." Athena responded.

I looked up at her as I picked the thorns off the rose stem.

"I don't see you as a flower person." Athena laughed at what I said.

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

WELL ATHENA—

I ignored her question and we kept walking through the neverending garden. I was still amazed at the beauty of the garden.

Athena stopped walking and I turned to look at her in question.

"I'm waiting for your answer, Lauren." Her red eyes stared in mine and I tried to fight the smile off of my lips.

"Well," I drawled out. "You're nice."

HMM—

Athena raised one of her eyebrows and I whined.

"I'm not telling you."

"And why not?"

"Because it's bad things."

"You think I'm a bad person?" Her eyebrows shot up in amusement.

"I have my reasons."

I looked down at the red rose in my hand and twirled it between my fingers.

"Tr—"

Athena stopped mid sentence and threw her head back whilst groaning.

"What?"

She walked away from me and went behind one of the tall flowers and bend down and picked something up.

I awed and clasped my hands together.

Athena held a white rabbit by its scuff as it chewed on green leaves. She growled and I walked over to where she stood with the rabbit. The rabbit's brown eyes looked at me as I neared it and Athena.

Aww she's tamed.

We're gonna assume it's a girl.

"Is it yours?" I asked her as I adored the bunny.

"Mine?" She chuckled. "No. It's a wild rabbit that took liking my garden and I've been kicking it out everytime I come down here."

"Why?" I asked in surprise. "it's so adorable."

"It's deadly." Athena deadpanned and I stuck my finger out and rubbed the bunny's nose and it twitched.

My heart!
