Athena The Goddess of War and Wisdom

"Do you guys wanna play?" I asked.

I saw Jewels smirk, "Real life racing or virtual reality or your other games?" She asked.

I smirked. "All."

Josh and Autumn looked at us with a dumbfounded look, "What are you talking about?" They asked while backing up a bit.

"Did you both bring a car?" I asked.

They nodded and gulp. "We're not killing anyone, are we?" Josh asked.

Jewels and I laughed. "No but you just have to follow." I said and we all go to the parking lot.

After driving to my game house, we all looked at each other. "Are you all ready?" I asked.

They nodded and we enter my game house. Each of us took a race car key. "Y'all can borrow some race car. After all, you're all gonna need it to win." I said with a smirk and entered the car.

They followed me to an abandoned race track that I found 3 years ago. "Nice, huh?"

I called Victor and Kyle and told them to meet us there. When they arrived, Victor started his car and Kyle was our referee. "1st one to get 50 laps win."

"It's on." We all said.

Rankings:

1st   = Athena

2nd = Victor

3rd  = Jewels

4th  = Josh

5th  = Autumn

I laughed. "Good game, honey. You're getting good." I teased Victor.

He laughed with me. "Oh, baby, I only let you win." He said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh really, babe? Really?" I asked with a seductive voice.

"Athena and Victor, please stop being sweet... it's gross. Yuck." Jewels said.

I laughed. "You're getting better Jewels. Nice. You're faster than Audrey now." I told her.

She laughed. "Nice." We did a fist bump.

I walked towards Autumn, "As for you... well... let's just say that you're a bad racer."

He scoffed. "Oh really?"

"Tintin! You're making me jealous." Victor whined.

I laughed. "Be there in a sec, babe!"

All of us just played, until I received a call. "Hello?" I asked.

The other line just laugh. Maliciously. "Oh, Athena. You should have heard their screams. They looked so pitiful." Kyle said.

I didn't know what to do, I froze. "W-w-who are you talking about, Kyle?" I asked.

He laughed again. "Those mortals that you love so much." He said and hung up.

No. No. No. Please wake me up from this nightmare. "J-J-Jewels? C-can you come here?" I called out.

A few minutes later, she was next to me and asked what was wrong. "Pinch me." I told her and she did. It hurts. Does that mean... they're dead? Kyle... killed them.

I looked at Jewels in the eye and cried. "Shhh. It's okay. I'm here."

I cried for what felt like hours but only a few minutes. "Can you make them leave and call the others?" I asked.

She nodded and hugged me one more time before going back to Josh and Autumn.

Jewels The Witch of Poisons

I left the room and talked with the guys, "Both of you should probably head back now." I said.

Autumn and Josh looked worried. "What happened? Why did she cry? Is she alright?" They asked.

I sighed. "I... I don't know. I'll be best if you both just go." I told them.

Kyle left with Autumn and Josh while Victor stayed with me.

Athena, what happened? After they left, I texted the group chat and told them to meet us in Athena's game house.

They arrived and we all sat down in her dining room. "What's wrong, Tintin?" Victor asked.

She looked at everyone with her red and puffy eyes, "He... killed... h-he... he killed my aunt and uncle." She told us.

Who did? "Yes. It was Kyle, my cousin, my brother, the son of Hades." She replied and cried again.

Yanna walked towards her and hugged her, she cried even more. "It's okay, Athena. We'll make him pay for all the sins he committed."

Athena shook her head. "You don't understand. He's still my cousin. I don't want to kill him. Besides, you guys don't know his weaknesses. No one does." She explained.

Audrey sighed. "Look, we don't know him, but you and Victor do. We can use both of your knowledge to our advantage." She explained.

She does have a point. "All of us should sleep. Let's take care of this tomorrow. Everyone is tired." Yanna said and went to one of the guest room.

Audrey soon followed. "You should go." Victor said.

Victor Son of Demeter

When Jewels left, Athena cried even more. "V-V-Victor, what am I gonna do?" She asked me.

I hugged her tightly and whispered, "It's okay, Athena. It's okay to be weak. It's okay to be crying."

She cried even more. I won't let you down, Athena. I'll always be with you. She hugged me closer. I carried her bridal style to her room. I put her on her bed and I sat on it. I hugged her closer, "I'll always with you, Athena. I'll fight with you even if the whole world is against our friendship."

She smiled. "Who is you godly parent again?" She asked randomly.

"Demeter." I answered.

She smiled. "Thank you, Victor. For everything." She said and placed her head on my shoulder.

"Anytime." I answered and took her blanket.

Athena The Goddess of War and Wisdom

I woke up the next morning ob my bed and Victor on my chair. I stood up and woke him up. "Wake up, Vic. We need to go to school." I told him.

"Do you still have my clothes from last time?" He asked with a groggy voice.

I chuckled. "Yes. Now go wash up. I have cereal downstairs and you're gonna come with me later." I told him and went down to eat some cereal.

After eating, Victor came down fully dressed and ready to eat. "It my turn to take a bath now. If you're done eating, just go watch TV or something." I told him and went up.

After taking a bath, I got dressed. Nothing better than a nice bath. What would I tell the police? After putting on my clothes, I went down and grabbed my bag. "Ready to go to school?" I asked and took my car keys.

He nodded and we went to school.
