Athena's POV:

Ever since I've woken up everything has seemed kinda fuzzy. Like I'm not really sure what's real and what's not. Five has been there for me, taking me places and taking care of me. I remember trying to kill him and I can't even look at him without remembering it.

I feel like I betrayed him. I mean I did if you look at it from his point of view. He's been gentle with me and doesn't push me to do things that I don't want to do. I haven't talked since I woke up. I don't know why I just haven't.

"Miss?" The doctor said gently. I came back to realty and took a second to take in where I was.

I was in the infirmary sitting across from a sick person. Five was sitting next to me stroking my hand. The doctor smiled gently when I met her eyes.

"You're vitals look good. Now we just have to work on your speaking. Five says you seem more interested in things."

"She has. I would take her to the gardens and she would look and the flowers and smile." Five said excitedly.

"Now now Five. Let Athena speak for herself." The doctor said smiling. They looked at me with eager eyes and I just stared at them.

It took them a moment before the eagerness drained from their faces.

"Maybe tomorrow." The doctor said in a defeated tone. She went to check on another party and Five sat by me still.

"Athe why won't you talk? It's been days since the incident. I told you I forgive you. I understand that you weren't yourself. Speak to me. Please." His voice broke and tears rolled down his cheeks.

I wrapped my hand on his cheek and wiped away his tears. He smiled and leaned into my hand. I wanted to tell him why I haven't been talking I really did but I didn't even know myself. My head started hurting so I placed my hand [that was on Fives cheek] on my head.

"Mm." I hummed and closed my eyes.The pain was unbearable.

"Do you want me to get the doctor?" Five asked. I shook my head.

It would probably go away soon.

"Ah!" Five gasped and put his hand to his head.

A vision of a guy and girl holding a heart and a knife filled my vision.
