        The older the girls get, the more Athena's power strengthens and darkens. At the academy, her powers excel and her popularity rises amongst the other teenage witches.

They see her as a Spell man, but little do they all know where she descends from, and how much power she holds locked within her very core.

Athena always has a crowd of people surrounding her. It comes naturally to her.

She has an air around her that is welcoming, not to mention how her looks attract strangers' attention from miles away. Especially all the warlocks at the academy.

She loves to flirt with the guys. Leave them hanging and coming back for more. They treat her like a goddess, and in a way, she is one.

       The longer Athena spends at the academy, the more she pushes her whole family away, she pushes Sabrina away. The pair no longer tell each other everything, they keep secrets.

They hang out with different groups of kids at the academy. They create new chapters of their own, on their own. They are still there for each other, if need be, and hang out every so often, but it is different than it once was.

        As the months pass, things start getting more chaotic at the Spellman's residence.

There is always a fight, someone yelling at the other, or throwing something across the room with a flick of their wrist. These type of occurrences are becoming a daily event.

Athena is tired of them all telling her who to be, how to act, and she simply wants to figure all that out on her own.

She adores her family very much, but she is also feisty and stubborn and does not give up easily in a fight.

She definitely has an attitude and a fiery temper that matches the colour of her long, ember locks. But that is something she loves about herself, amongst many other things.

        After a long heated discussion, it is of mutual agreement amongst the Spell man residence that it would be the best for the whole family if Athena stays at Dorian's Place during the summer, at least until the tension settles. They all know she will be safe there since Dorian is an old family friend.

They think she'll be safe there.

       Athena is down to her last suitcase. Her enormous walk-in closet is almost empty. She is going to miss living at home, but she knows in her heart that it is the best decision long-term.

She runs a hand through her long locks, whilst looking at her almost-empty closet. Sighing, she zips up her remaining suit case and brings it down to the very bottom of the grand-entry staircase.

       "I think I've got all my possessions rounded up now, is the car out front and ready?" She asks, looking up to Aunt Hilda.

"Yes dear, the driver is outside waiting. All of your items are inside and ready to -." A small tear falls down Aunt Hilda's face, but she wipes it away quickly hoping Athena doesn't notice. "Leave".

Athena walks up to her aunt and hugs her. "I'll be fine, I'm an adult after all. This isn't goodbye forever, it's a temporary decision."

         "I know dear Athena, but I'll miss you very much, and your Aunt Zelda will miss you too, even if she says otherwise. Sometimes I think you get your stubbornness from her, you two are always at odds". A small chuckle leaves Athena's mouth.

"You're not wrong about that, Auntie. I'll be in touch at the end of the summer."

With a flick of her wrist, Athena swings the front door open and carries her remaining suitcase to the large black Cadillac parked at the end of their driveway.

         "To this new chapter of my life," she whispers to herself, tears filling her eyes. At that very moment, complete loneliness took over her core.

She takes one last glance to the large mansion behind her, before stepping into the large black vehicle and driving away.
