Athena's 5th Birthday (Part two)

(Luna's POV)

We both walked to Alexis and Nathan, who were dressed as Levy McGarden and Gajeel Redfox. They looked so cute together. Alexis made fun of me for giving in to Jacob. She wouldnt leave me alone. I walked away from them and went and mingled with other people for a while.

After some time passed, it was time for presents. I grabbed Jacob and we went to Athena. We walked her to the table of presents and let her sit in the chair. One by one, the pack members handed her their presents. She loved them.

It was Alexis and Nathan's turn and they handed their present to her. She opened the present to find replicas of Lucy's Celestial keys. She went insane and got really happy. They were both happy to see her reaction.

After calming her down, it was finally our turn to give her the final present which was our gift to her. She opened it to find an exceed. It was an exceed customized just for her. She went insane and started to run around with it. She immediately decided to call it Angel.

Jacob and I were really happy seeing her like our gift. She ran up to us and kept saying thank you. We laughed at her and kept telling her to calm down. She didn't calm down and just kept running around, showing her present to everybody.

After she got done running around, she stood in front of everyone and said thank you and that she wanted to sing a song. This was not planned at all and Jacob and I were so surprised.

Everybody sat down at their tables and waited for Athena to start singing. Jacob and I sat down as well and waited for our daughter to start.

Then she started to sing I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston.

Share my life

Take me for what I am

'Cause I'll never change

All my colors for you

Take my love

I'll never ask for too much

Just all that you are

And everything that you do

I don't really need to look

Very much further

I don't want to have to go

Where you don't follow

I will hold it back again

This passion inside

Can't run from myself

There's nowhere to hide

Don't make me close one more door

I don't want to hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I don't have you, you, you, you, you

You see through

Right to the heart of me

You break down my walls

With the strength of your love

I never knew

Love like I've known it with you

Will a memory survive

One I can hold on to?

I don't really need to look

Very much further

I don't want to have to go

Where you don't follow

I will hold it back again

This passion inside

I can't run from myself

There's nowhere to hide

Your love I'll remember forever

Don't make me close one more door

I don't want to hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

Don't make me close one more door

I don't want to hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me

No, don't walk away from me

Don't you dare walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I don't have you, you

If I don't have you, oh, oh

Everybody was in tears after she finished singing, including me and Jacob. We were both shocked that she could even sing.

We got up from our seats and hugged Athena. "Baby, when did you learn how to sing?" I asked and she replied "I taught myself after I heard daddy sing. I wanted to sing like you guys." She did all of this because of us. We both smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

After all of what happened, it was time to sing happy birthday and eat cake. We all walked to the table with the cake and Athena kneeled on a chair in front of her cake. We all started to sing happy birthday and she smiled at all of us.

When we finished singing, she inhaled deeply and out of nowhere, the fire from the candles went into her mouth. We were all shocked and me and Jacob started to freak out.

Jacob and I went up to her and started to check her. She then coughed and fire came out of her mouth and went back onto the candles. Jacob and I looked at each other and smiled.

Jacob then picked up Athena and yelled out to everyone "ATHENA FOUND HER POWER!!" Everybody was quiet for a second then started to cheer. Our baby girl found her power. We were all very happy for her.

She got down from Jacob's arms and started to run somewhere and everybody congratulated us. I was trying to look for where Athena went, but couldn't find her.

I tugged onto Jacob's arm and told him that I couldn't find Athena. We both panicked and started to run around everywhere looking for her.

After looking for her for some time, we regrouped. But before we could say anything to each other, we heard a loud scream. Our faces instantly paled. It was Athena.

We all ran towards where the scream came from, which was outside the tent, and found Athena lying on the ground with her exceed.

"ATHENA!!!" I yelled and ran to her. She was unconscious. I tried to wake her up, but she didn't. Jacob ran and got Julian. Julian came to Athena and checked her.

While he was checking her, I noticed her hand was holding something. I opened her hand to find a piece of paper. I stood up and opened the piece of paper and read it. My eyes went completely wide and my face paled. The note said 'Welcome Back Sis'.

Jacob noticed my face and ran towards me. He took the paper from my hand and read it. His face went completely dark. He summoned some people from the pack and ordered them to find my family immediately.

I began to cry and Jacob hugged me tight and we both watched Julian and Nathan take Athena to his car and drive off to our house.
