Elizabeth and Gibbs left at dawn, they didn't meet Athena since she was asleep and they didn't want to disturb her sleep. They said farewell to William and Nor left to drop them "I'd be gone for a week take care of the lady in my absence. She doesn't know anything of the world, she had always been a goddess and has never been apart from me. So you've to take good care of her" Nor said as he left Athena in the capable hands of William. Will walked inside and closed the door but before he went back to bed, he checked on Athena who was peacefully sleeping on her bed, she looked like a baby in her sleep. He kissed her forehead and left for his room. 

"Where's Nor?" Athena questioned as she walked into the kitchen yawning. Her hair was a little messed up but she looked beautiful as always. She ran her fingers through her hair trying to tame it. "The sea can be tamed, but not my hair" she giggled as she did.

"He left to drop Gibbs and Elizabeth but he will be back in a week" Will smiled as he served her breakfast.

"Okay" she said slowly as sat on the chair.

"You miss him?" Will joked.

"Very funny Will but in a way I do" Athena chuckled.

"Because he's always with you?" Will looked at her.

"Ummm hmmm" Athena murmured "and because I can't do anything by myself" she blushed.

"Oh yeah! like what?" Will chuckled.

"Cooking, cleaning, laundry and so on...when I was on the Gem I've my crew to serve me and on land Nor" she said shyly.

"Don't worry we can fix that William Turner at your service mam" Will stood up as he bowed his head making Athena giggle.

"But I'll learn now because I've look out for myself" she said looking at him.

"No you don't have to my lady. You live the way you use to live before, I'd do everything for you. You did so much for me already" Will came forward and hold her hands.

"But I want to learn Will" Athena smiled.

"You are better as a princess, then a cook or anything else" Will chuckled as he kissed her hands.

"Are you taking me to the tree house or not?" Athena questioned as Will moped the floors.

"I'll when it's done" he said.

"But I want to see now" she rolled her eyes.

"I want it to be perfect, when you see it" he said.

"Can I do the dishes?" Athena asked as she saw a pile of dishes on the sink.

"No you don't have to. I'll do it" Will said but Athena didn't listen she went forward and stood near the sink how hard can this be she thought to herself. She slowly grabbed the clay kettle and rinse water through it. "This is fun" she said to herself but in a wink her hands slipped and the kettle was on the floor in a hundred pieces. Will came running into the kitchen when he heard the noise but found Athena standing there with guilt on her face "I'm sorry" she mumbled looking at him.

He giggled at her innocence and went forward and hugged her. "You are cute" he said as he kissed her head "go and rest now. I'll see you as soon as the works are done okay" he smiled as he guided her to her room. "Okay Will" she smiled as she sat down on her bed and opened a book to read.

After everything was done Will went to the treehouse and returned at sunset. He cooked dinner and searched for Athena but she was no where in the house where was she he didn't know. He went out searching for her there was a storm on the way and he was worried. As the rain poured down heavily Will was running in and around calling her name and searching for her when he saw a figure on the beach he ran there and found her "what are you doing here?" He asked.

"The sea turtles need my help" she said as she carried their eggs to safety. Will couldn't help but giggle at her innocence and kindness. "But it's raining heavily, we need to get inside. You will fall sick" he said as he grabbed her arms gently. She nodded and walked towards the house with Will. They were both wet from head to toe. Athena shivered "I need a warm bath" she said as she went inside her bathroom. Will also quickly went inside the other bathroom and took a warm refreshing bath as he was done, he came out and set the table for them but Athena was still inside the bathroom he went and knocked the door "my lady" he called.

"Yes" she said calmly.

"You have been there for long is something wrong?" He asked.

"No Will. I just love the water that's it" she said. Will smiled to himself as he went back to the kitchen. Athena came out of the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen "smells delicious" she said as she took a seat.

"I made mashed potatoes" he said looking at her. She smiled and asked "you knew, I am a vegetarian don't you?"

"Yes, I do because that day when we made fish you didn't have it. You only had the mushroom soup with loaves" he smiled back.

"Let's dig in then" she said as they both dug in.
