Chapter 203\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tractly, Derek sail\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s why I get shocked when you touched her skin hours ago. It\u2019s not just protecting Athene anymore tre proteing its\u00a0<\/p>\n
I thought about the electric feeling when my fingers had brushed against her face. It hadn\u2019t felt malicious exactly, but it sad been che\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then something came to my mind, if it was trying to protect itself. It means Daxon said something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned towards Athena who was looking at her feet. \u201cYou knew.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised her head up with guilt, then nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he told me about Jess\u2019s death, the only on my mind at that moment was to make them pay\u201d she took a deep breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when he mentioned killing mom, dad and your parents. I felt something I\u2019d never felt before. Then immediately he said he wanted to kill Orion to\u00a0<\/p>\n
get his powers, I saw red\u2018 she was now crying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAth\u2018 I called trying to touch her but she moved back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was my fault. Our parents had died because they were trying to protect me. It was my fault.\u201d I moved towards her immediately and hugged her, we all\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not your fault babe\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not your fault Ath\u201d we all said it together like we\u2019d rehearsed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we should focus now is to find solution, not blame ourselves. Mom and dad were ever they are would be happy they were able to protect you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion said\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019d all died to protect you. But we\u2019re all alive and we\u2019ll all protect you with our lives\u201d I added and I meant it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a while, her tears subsided. We all turned towards Derek, we needed to find answers and find it quick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
W\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what does this mean for Athena?\u201d Sarah asked. \u201cIf the power is getting stronger and more protective, what happens to her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Derek admitted. \u201cBut I found something else. Something that might help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled out another set of papers from his folder. These looked older, like photocopies of handwritten documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are records from the 1800s, Derek said. \u201cFrom the last known family that carried this bloodline. They documented everything they could about\u00a0<\/p>\n
the power and how it worked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion leaned forward to look at the papers. \u201cWhat did they find?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mon, Jan 12\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 203\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I drained those people completely,\u201d I said. \u201cI killed them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\u00a0<\/p>\n
73\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Because they were actively trying to kill you, they were after who ever has the power.\u201d Derek explained. \u201cThe power responded to eliminate the threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you had been in a different situation, with people who weren\u2019t trying to hurt you, it probably wouldn\u2019t have been fatal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was reading over one of the documents. \u201cIt says here that people with this bloodline used to be healers. They could transfer life energy from one\u00a0<\/p>\n
person to another. They could take away pain and sickness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Athena could potentially help people instead of hurting them?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf she could learn to control it,\u201d Derek said. \u201cBut that\u2019s the problem. According to these records, learning control takes years of training. And it requires\u00a0<\/p>\n
a teacher who understands the power.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo we know anyone like that?\u201d Orion asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Derek shook his head. \u201cThe bloodline was supposedly wiped out. Athena might be the only person left who carries the active gene.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
We all sat there absorbing this information. It was good to know that Athena wasn\u2019t becoming some kind of monster, but it didn\u2019t solve our immediate\u00a0<\/p>\n
problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something else,\u201d Derek said quietly. He looked uncomfortable about whatever he was going to tell us next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe records mention that if someone with this power goes too long without proper training, the defensive mechanism can become permanent. The power starts seeing everyone as a potential threat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
