Athena’s rage

The wolf whimpered softly as it followed Zosia

It's head hung low with blood seeping out of its chest wounds

Damn this human had almost shattered his ribs!

It was pissed yet it followed behind Zosia obediently

"It was all your fault! Sister in law has been so good to us!" Athena argued angrily glaring fiercely at Lester as he prepared the fire for lunch

"Brother we could have protected sister in law not leave her alone!" Leon sighed helplessly

"Then you should have led by example not wait on me to go ahead first!" Lester snapped

"Do you know how strong that wolf was?! The military's advanced weapons did nothing to it! That's a grade nine core wolf!" Lester's whole body trembled in anger

Yes he was selfish

But he could never sacrifice his family for a stranger

"Zosia is no stranger! She's like family!" Athena argued her chest heaved violently as she spoke "what's the whole ruckus about" Winnie frowned

"Shut up already! No one called for your snag remarks okay" Athena snapped shocking everyone in the kitchen, especially Winnie "did you just raise your voice at me?" She asked sharply

"And what do you want to do about that! Since everyone in this family are so selfish! Zosia could have died but the hunter I know could not help but would rather watch her being slaughtered!" Athena scoffed as she spilled the hem of her dress and stormed out

"Sister in law" Leon called out "oh please shut up you coward!" Athena snorted in disdain as she rushed out to her children

She had no time to waste with a man like that!

"Brother you need to talk to your wife, she's angry" Leon commented anxiously

"Talk to her oh please! She's seen no real danger, she thinks this world is full of roses!" Lester scoffed angrily as he began to cook

Athena on the other hand gathered the childrens clothes in a cloth bad

Taking out the low grade space pocket Zosia had placed in the grain bag for her

She gathered some grains and other foods and tossed them all into the space pocket

This things were so expensive yet Zosia had looked far ahead for her and her kids without asking for anything in return

And there he was being selfish

Stopping here from helping the one person in the whole world who had ever made her feel seen

"Mom….. where are we going?" Liam asked seeing his mother start dressing them up in new clothes "we're going to somewhere safe baby" Athena sighed wiping her tears as she dressed them up

She had made up her mind!

"Mom….." Lance called softly, his eyes scanned Athena as she packed

He knew all too well something was wrong

"Mommy…." Liliana anxiously called as she watched their mother pack up valuables and toss them in the space pocket

"We'll be visiting big sis" Athena sighed as she continued to pack

After what felt like an enternity she alas led the children out of the house

"What's this Athena!" Lester was furious

"I'm leaving alright! It was all but a common wolf yet you left her to die! If she wasn't strong enough she would have died!" Athena snapped clutching her children's hands tightly

"You know I can't fight that! Why risk my life for a stranger plus she didn't die did she?" Lester argued "she didn't die but u would be stupid waiting here on you Lester! It was Zosia today and tomorrow it might be me or my kids in the mercy of monsters and you'll leave us behind!" Athena screamed

The weight of her words hung heavily in the air

"I'll inform Lauren about the zergs, keep father safe" with that Athena pulled the children out of the yard

"Mommy..."the children stared at their mother then their father

"Let her go! She really thinks the world is an easy place! She really thinks it's all roses out there!" Lester thrashed the yard angrily

His blazing wind powers sent everything spiraling "you'll destroy the house brother!" Leon screamed in terror seeing Lester's power go out of control

"Shut the fuck up coward!" Lester snapped in anger and Leon sighed

Everyone was so used to calling him a coward

Damn he had a name!

"What's Athena saying about the zergs?" Winnie walked over to Leon's hiding spot

Her lips twitched seeing Leon hide from his brother's wind rage

"Take the kids into the house! What are you doing out here!" Leon snapped at her making her frown

"I asked what's going on with the zergs! What's happening Leon" Winnie demanded unfazed by his fury

If what Athena said was true then she as well as her kids were in trouble

Her husband Leon was as useless as a log

Even log had use

"It's just theory" Leon waved her off frowning as Lester stormed into the house thrashing everything in sight

"Theory and Zosia almost lost her life? Are you nuts!" Winnie sneered coldly "shut up and get in the house!" Leon snapped even lost his patience from her incessant talks

Athena on the other hand quickly made to the Wilson's

"Lauren" Athena held back her things seeing Lauren walk out of the house "Athena what's wrong?" Lauren asked worriedly

"I was at the base market and I heard there might be a Zerg invasion, they've mutated and are now smart unlike the mindless nest of zergs they are worst now" Athena hastily explained

"Zergs?!!" The women around the gates busy with their needle work almost fainted from fear

It was no wonder the heads of each household were busy most of the times

"The leaders are not idle Athena you need to be rest assured, come in for some tea" Lauren forced a smile though her mind was far from calm

She was trembling inside

She couldn't imagine another death

They had barely moved on from the last

The trauma still lived

Fresh in their minds like it was yesterday

"I'll be on my way, you should prepare yourself" Athena forced a smile and hurriedly pulled her children along the paths

She hastily boarded a loading beast cart which headed towards the military base

Her anxiety building as she clutched the hands of both children
