Chapter 55: Night Out IV

"We’re sorry, Athena. We will surely find her," Ewan said, struggling to calm the fire flashing in Athena’s eyes, struggling to become visible to her.

Athena shot him a glance, sharp enough to cut through glass, before turning away. "If you’re going to help me find her in this chaos, then let’s hob with it..."

She started moving toward the bar area, hoping her friend had stopped there for a drink.

Sandro nodded, and with a grumpy Zane in tow, they marched off.

Ewan hurried after Athena, who, upon noticing he was alone, transitioned from fiery to confused. "Where are the others?" she asked, her brows furrowed slightly.
