╰ ✦ breaking oaths╭ ᘒ ✦Athena had not left her niece and nephews side since she returned to Winchester, trying to comfort them as much as she could.
They had just lost their mother so young, but gained a baby brother. It was night and Athena was looking after the children whilst Uhtred went out.
Stiorra held Snow in her arms, tears standing her cheeks as she leaned into Athena. Young Uhtred rested his head on Athena's lap, wiping the tears from his cheeks.
"What will we do now?" Young Uhtred asked, his voice meek as he turned his head to look up at Athena.
Athena sadly stared down at her nephew, sniffling as she kept her arm around Stiorra. "We will return back home with your father." She uttered, running her free hand through his hair.
"I do not want to leave." Stiorra softly cried, burying her head in Athena's shoulder, making Athena's heart break. No child should have fi go through this so young.
Athena sat up, pulling the furs around them as she wiped her own tears, looking down to the young girl. "We have to, sweet girl." Athena muttered, pressing a kiss to Stiorra's forehead. "Your mother would want us to do so."
"Do you think she's with us? Looking down upon us?" Young Untred then asked, a frown on his face as Athena sucked in a breath.
"Yeah." Athena nodded her head with a sad smile, licking at her chapped lips as she looked at both of the children. "Come, it is time for you to both rest." Athena sighed, going to sit up, but Stiorra shook her head.
"Can you stay? Please?" Stiorra quickly asked, cuddling the kitten in her arms as Snow slept. "We do not want to be alone." Young Uhtred nodded in agreement, making Athena nod her head.
"Okay." She uttered, swallowing thickly as she smiled down to the siblings, resting back down as she leaned her head against the wall, watching as Stiorra and Young Uhtred cuddled into her side. "Sleep, I will be here." She told them both, her voice soft as she held onto both of them.
Athena stayed awake as the two children fell asleep, Stiorra resting her head on Athena's arm, Young Uhtred resting his head on her stomach.
She sadly smiled at the two, blinking her own tears away. Gisela should have been here with her children, watching them grow up.
