he has it memorized, yet can never get enough of it and wishes to only see her face. Footsteps at the other end of hallway comes to his ears, and his head snaps to the side, with an angry look in h

, to some unknown where strange things are transpiring all around her. Athena goes to the desk with the mirror and just sits on the chair, looking at her reflection glass. She looks like herself, yet in so many ways doesn't. Her eyes are so different, and that frightens her. The longer she stares at the irises of her eyes, she starts to notice things that she never saw before. Like how the red in the iris, with orange and yellow are shaped like fire. Come to think of it, she notices that everything in this place has to do with fire. It all started with a fire, perhaps it will all go away with fire. The thoughts are still swirling in her mind, some are a way out there even for her, others confusing and she's trying to figure out what's truly happening to her and around her, a few of the men had red glowing eyes. Her kidnapper as well had red glowing eyes. Something about him doesn't make sense to her, but wants to find out what it is that doesn't make sense. Most folks believe that she is crazy and that she wants to know the person that kidnapped her, to her she feels if she's... longing for him and doesn't understand why. These new feelings that she has could be hate and despise, but then again she's never felt those feelings so she thinks it's only that, yet there's something that's telling her that what she's feeling is something more. The confused girl, doesn't want to watch her eyes any longer, and stands up. She's afraid to look outside the window and tries to avoid it at all costs. Knowing that she's in a high place frightens her, she is very much afraid of heights. The room she's in is empty, with not much in it. Then there are those doors that she has no idea where they lead to. However, she wants to find out. But the fear of Lucifer coming inside the room and shouting at her again keeps her from exploring. Perhaps, it's for the best, she's planning to get out of here as soon as possible. She doesn't want to stay in this place any longer, it frightens her, and yet it makes her feel safe at the same time. Making the girl even more confused than she already is. Once again, she stands in the middle of the room, only this time, looking at the floor. If she were home, she would find something to do. Whether it's cleaning the house or cooking or even just sitting on the soft grass and allowing the fresh air to fill her lungs. And, of course, play with her brothers. No matter their age, they'd play as if they were children. Oh, how she missed them. She can't get the thought of those two out of her head, all she wants is their arms around her, hugging her and telling her that everything will be alright again. But she fears that she may never see them again it is too much for her to handle. Tears are forming in her eyes, but refusing to let them fall, she thinks that it's best that she shouldn't cry anymore. She has to be brave and get out of here. To go back to her brothers. The only thing that makes her cry now, is the fact that she misses her brothers, and her fear of that man. Even if it pains her, she needs to stop thinking about Jackson and Jasper, just until she finds a way out of here and back to them. It will hurt her, inside. But, that's what she has to do in order to survive and finally get home, somehow. For hours, she has stayed in the room, with only her thoughts as entertainment, it wasn't all that entertaining for her though, but rather it was bringing her down more. No sounds, just silence. After a while, she gave up by trying to stand on the floor or do to anything for that matter, so she decided to just get comfortable on the bed. Laying down, watching the pitch-black ceiling. Sometimes closing her eyes, and allowing her mind to wander off. However, sleep did not come, no matter how hard she tried. Athena desperately wanted to sleep and wake up from this nightmare that she seems to be trapped in. With her hands resting on her stomach, and under the covers. It was like when she first woke up in this bed and in this strange and scary place. In her mind, she thinks that if she's exactly the same as she was then, perhaps she might wake up and be in her own bed. No matter how uncomfortable it is, or how bad it is for her back. She's come to love her bed, it might not be the best. But, it's the one that she's had since she was a child. A bed costs a lot, and for people that have never had much money, they never bought more comfortable beds for themselves. To them, it was all right. They were used to it. The pain in their back and the hardness of the wood. It was just life for them, and they are alright with it. Jackson's bed broke a few years ago, and he just got used to it that way. That's what they do, they just get used it. It's not like they had much money to buy anything nicer. Mostly food, is what their money was spent on. It also depended on how the winter would be, either brutal or quiet. If brutal, they'd need warm clothes and some supplies. As she lies on the bed, her stomach starts to growl. As if there were a raging lion in there. She hadn't realized that she has been without food for some time now. She's hungry, yet what can she do about it? Athena doesn't know this place, she doesn't even know where the kitchen is. She isn't even sure if they'd give her food. Everything here is so unpredictable,
