Athena lay in bed sleeping late into the morning but it had been difficult to fall asleep the night before as snippets of her conversation with Susan kept running through her head.
~~ She stood on the cliff with her hair whipping behind her in the crisp blowing wind. The waves crashed against the rocks below; their frothy caps barely illuminated by the moonlight. She was waiting for someone and hoped they would get there before the storm. She heard a noise coming from the some where near the outcropping of boulders not too far away. She turned and moved toward them and a cracking noise ripped through the air. {Was that a gun... or thunder} she thought as light flashed across the sky. She rushed forward and came to an abrupt halt as the moonlight glinted of the metal of a still smoking handgun.
Her breath made puffs of little clouds as she stared at the gun. The air rumbled its own displeasure and with the light flashes that became the backdrop to the full moon; she could see another dark form laying on the ground. She tried to make a couple of steps to help but the barrel of the gun seemed to follow the position of her heart keeping her motionless. {It seems less threatening when its not following me.}
Her thoughts raced from giving aid to getting help to just getting away. ".....I couldn't let you two be together and now ... my dear .... its your turn." She watched in horror as he squeezed the trigger. ~~
A scream ached as it caught in her throat as she sat up and her eyes flew open. {Where am I?} She tried to suck in some much needed oxygen but found she couldn't for the hand that was there to block the scream was also blocking the flow of any oxygen to her lungs. The sheet slipped from her naked form revealing her breasts. His hand feel away and his gaze fell to her chest as her brain started coming out of its sleeping fog and into rapid thoughts.
{Bedroom.... Sunny.... Erass... Who....} She looked up at see who was there with her. With a sigh of relief, Athena breathed, "Susan?"
"They're coming," was the simple reply.
Athena practically jumped from the bed, "Who... " She pulled a t-shirt over her head and slipped on some pants asking, "When... right now... immediately, sometime in the near future.... in the distant future?" As she flipped the hair out of her face Susan's blank expression met her own gaze.
