Rebirth: The Tale of Athena Reyes

Chapter 3 ✔️

"So, you guys reconciled a while ago? No wonder, you guys are back to normal!" Thea said. "Yeah, I just broke the ice to avoid future wrongdoings. We are good now." I told her.

Right now, it's the second itinerary of the day - riding the Sentosa Cable Cars. After the first itinerary at River Safari, we had to rush to go to Sentosa to ride the cable cars. I wonder if the others felt tired 'cause their faces said so. We also separated into four cable cars 'cause a single cable car can occupy until 6 persons, depending on their size.

"What are we going to do after this, Uncle Clarence?" Daniella asked. "Hmm, a rest would do at the benches in the heart of the park." A heap of relief rushed through the whole cable car as from what Dad have just said.

"Finally, you said rest. I clearly am exhausted." Larkin expressed. "You always do rest. Want me to clearly make you rest for your whole life?" Leslie gave Larkin a death glare. "Okay, okay, sis. T'was a joke. Don't take that seriously." He said in fear. "Athena, do you have any upside-down torches there? I swear I need one." Larkin now whispered to me.

"I got none. Sorry Larkin. Leslie's there as your alternative, remember?" I told him and he just nodded. Sometimes, I really don't get why Leslie is too evil while her other twin is out to give such happiness - like they're an angel and a demon. But at times, when our parents are around, Leslie is a good person so when the cameras are off, she tends to go evil as she could be.

By the time we are finished with our round-trip ride, we went to the heart of the park where we see a huge statue of the Merlion. I never knew there is another Merlion here at Singapore 'cause the only Merlion I know is the one spewing out water. Then there's this statue at Sentosa Island and that confirms there are two Merlions at Singapore. I don't know if there are more but those two are the only ones I know.

My feet are tired from walking everywhere. I wore rubber shoes to at least make me okay during the walks but it was the opposite. I should have worn my doll shoes but they're back at the Philippines so way to go, Athena. But, well, isn't the effect just the same? I guess so and wearing heels will make me hella tired if I were to wear 'em for the whole day.

"You guys want something to eat?" Uncle Alex asked. "Sure thing, Uncle." I said. "Okay, I'll be back in a sec. Ares, come and help me bring the food to them." Uncle Alex said as Ares stood up from his resting place.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, someone was looking at me intently. I followed the gaze of the person who is looking at me and stood up from where I was seating.

"Athena, where are you going? You might get lost." I heard Florence say. I looked back at them and told them that I was going out for a walk, to see more sights.

I followed the person who was looking at me when she just turned around a corner. But when I followed, she's not there anymore. Could it be the spirit Zylo was talking to me about? So, I went back to my seat to see Uncle Alex back with Ares and some food. Zylo seated next to me and whispered, "Did you also see that?"

"You saw?" I asked. "Yeah, but I didn't manage to follow. I just looked to where you were heading. Did you catch up to her?" He answered and asked back. "No, she was gone all of a sudden. I wonder, what's her business here for?"

"Maybe... she's looking for someone next. I don't know. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Go eat up your nachos, might someone steal it from you."

But what just happened later at night was something horrifying after what I just witnessed in my dreams.

I was still in the room where I am sleeping and I went to the balcony. I just gazed at the stars when I just heard someone talk from behind.

"It's a coincidence you saw me."
