Chapter 35
Ion's POV
I was looking at Athena, watching her moves. I find her too weird and it's like, she wasn't Athena at all. Athena's serious, but right now, it seems like she's too angry. Angry and not serious.
"Athena, what's wrong with you?" I said in a low voice. She looked at me intently and walked towards me, slowly.
"Hoy! Tinatakot mo na ako!" I joked. She smirked and suddenly stopped walking.
"Ion..." She said horrifyingly.
"What would it feel like if the one you'll love, will kill you?" My eyes widened. Paano niya nalaman ang bagay na 'to? All I know is, alam niyang may papatay sa kanya. She began walking towards me with a very serious face. Since I was sitting, I didn't bother moving away from her.
"Athena..." Tawag ko sa pangalan niya. What the hell is happening to her. She's not like this. Kung may nalalaman man siyang mga bagay, paniguradong itatago niya lamang 'yon sa sarili niya.
"It's too painful right?" She said while smirking. I admit it, I'm a little bit afraid with her right now.
"If you are going to kill the one you love, what would it feel?" Tanong niyang muli.
Her eyes turned orange for a second, and I noticed that.
"Painful too." I honestly said. She was a meter away from me when she stopped walking again.
"Now, would you do it?" The nervousness on my chest grew much stronger. She knew it. How can I even defend myself?
"Athena, what's wrong with you?" Hindi ko pinahalatang natatakot at kinakabahan ako sa sinasabi niya.
"No Ion, what's wrong with you all?" Tears started to fall down. Hindi ko alam kung yayakapin ko ba siya at pupunasan ang luha o hahayaan nalang. I hate seeing her cry, I hate seeing her in pain and I hate myself for causing her that.
"Why would you have to take me down?" She's crying but her face is still serious and... angry.
"Why would you have to take my life? Why don't you just stop?" I hugged her, tightly.
After what happened on her department, she started being like this. She started being not herself anymore. Hindi ko alam ang nangyari sa kanila ni Dwight sa loob. Ang alam ko lang, lumabas sila ni Dwight sa bumagsak na gusali. Her blood finally became orange and nothing.
Her body became too light, and she collapsed.
[Athena's POV]
Thank you, Athena.
A voice inside me said before I came back to my senses. I was lying on a cold floor with a warm hands on my head.
"Athena, wake up." I heard Ion's voice, I opened my eyes and looked at him. Tumayo na kaagad ako.
Why am I here? I supposed to be in school right now with Dwight. Tumingin ako sa paligid ko, bakit ako nandito sa bahay?
"Ion, what am I doing here?" I asked, he gave me a weird look.
"Anong sinasabi mo?" He said. Nervousness is evident in his voice, and why?
"I was walking with Dwight, palabas kami sa nasirang building. Tapos, bumagsak si Dwight kaya napabagsak din ako. Then, when I stood up, nandito na ako. What happened?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.
