Hell's Empire

Athena ; Ch.20

HARRY'S POV

I heard a carriage outside my castle. My thoughts scattered everywhere. Is Athena here? Is she here for Fawn? Fawn can't leave yet, not yet. What is Athena doing here? What the hell.

It was far too early, too early for my liking.

I looked at Fawn, she was still sound asleep.
Athena better have a good explanation to her early arrival, because Im furious they're taking her now. I walked out of my room quietly, making sure not to wake Fawn, I don't want her to go.
As soon as I shut the door behind me, I felt all rage break loose, "Marcel! Edward!" I demanded their presence. Dark clouds appeared signaling their arrival, they quickly formed into the Two Sides of Hades.
Marcel wore his usual light grey cloak and his glasses, whist holding a book. While Edward wore a black robe which looked scorched and his black crown whist holding his usual red wine.

"What may trouble you?" Marcel pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice sounds annoyed, "Oh wait! I know, Athena right? Because you don't want Fawn to leave and it's best for her here in the death hole than in heaven. Of course." I angered more at his tone, though he was right. I turned and tried to grab the bastard. Nothing, my hands went right through him.

"You know, marking her would fix your problem. Then she would have to stay here regardless." Edward spun his red wine, and I shook that thought out. I can't mark her. I want to, but I won't. I remembered Athena, "Leave." I spoke coldly, quickly the sides were one with me, I made sure they were in my head again before speeding down the castle halls and finally reaching the end and facing her.

"Took you long." She sneered, "I was about to grab her myself." I tried not to anger myself anymore, this is your niece, please remember that.

"Why are you early?" I snapped.

Too late.

"Zeus told me to come because she's not safe here and a war could start." She simply stated, shrugging her armored shoulders.

"What if I take her tomorrow?" I requested.
She only laughed and shook her head.

"I'll make sure she's okay. Untouched. And healthy." She stopped laughing, "I'll be good to her, she's fine with me Athena. She's safer than safe." She then frowned at my words.

"Zeus wants her now." She shook her head, "What has gotten into you? You're never like this, has she cast a spell on you Harold? This is not like you." She crossed her arms.

She set a spell and Im afraid to let her go.
"Athena, she makes me feel.. Alive." I looked into her eyes, almost pleading.

Her mouth fell agape, "I can't let her go with you." I whispered. She stared at me in disbelief.

"Two days Harold. It's been two days and you've already fallen in love?" I quickly corrected her, "Not love. I just- I care about her to a very far, almost endless extent. She infatuates me so much." I looked back at my castle, to know she's still sleeping in my bed, it does something to me.

"I- I best tell Zeus." I gave her a scowl.
She chuckled, "that you'll be taking her."
She got back in her carriage and said her goodbyes before leaving.

I sighed and turned around, she was still with me. I smiled, I looked up and faced two big glossy eyes. Oh..
