Then something came to my mind, if it was trying to protect itself. It means Daxon said something.
I turned towards Athena who was looking at her feet. “You knew.”
She raised her head up with guilt, then nodded.

“When he told me about Jess’s death, the only on my mind at that moment was to make them pay” she took a deep breath.
But when he mentioned killing mom, dad and your parents. I felt something I’d never felt before. Then immediately he said he wanted to kill Orion to

“It was my fault. Our parents had died because they were trying to protect me. It was my fault.” I moved towards her immediately and hugged her, we all
“It’s not your fault babe”
“It’s not your fault Ath” we all said it together like we’d rehearsed it.
“What we should focus now is to find solution, not blame ourselves. Mom and dad were ever they are would be happy they were able to protect you.”
Orion said
“They’d all died to protect you. But we’re all alive and we’ll all protect you with our lives” I added and I meant it.
After a while, her tears subsided. We all turned towards Derek, we needed to find answers and find it quick.

“So what does this mean for Athena?” Sarah asked. “If the power is getting stronger and more protective, what happens to her?”
“I don’t know,” Derek admitted. “But I found something else. Something that might help.”
He pulled out another set of papers from his folder. These looked older, like photocopies of handwritten documents.
“These are records from the 1800s, Derek said. “From the last known family that carried this bloodline. They documented everything they could about
the power and how it worked.”
Orion leaned forward to look at the papers. “What did they find?”

“But I drained those people completely,” I said. “I killed them.”

‘Because they were actively trying to kill you, they were after who ever has the power.” Derek explained. “The power responded to eliminate the threat.
If you had been in a different situation, with people who weren’t trying to hurt you, it probably wouldn’t have been fatal.”
Sarah was reading over one of the documents. “It says here that people with this bloodline used to be healers. They could transfer life energy from one
person to another. They could take away pain and sickness.”
“So Athena could potentially help people instead of hurting them?” I asked.
“If she could learn to control it,” Derek said. “But that’s the problem. According to these records, learning control takes years of training. And it requires
a teacher who understands the power.”
“Do we know anyone like that?” Orion asked.
Derek shook his head. “The bloodline was supposedly wiped out. Athena might be the only person left who carries the active gene.”
We all sat there absorbing this information. It was good to know that Athena wasn’t becoming some kind of monster, but it didn’t solve our immediate
problem.
“There’s something else,” Derek said quietly. He looked uncomfortable about whatever he was going to tell us next.
“What?” I asked.
“The records mention that if someone with this power goes too long without proper training, the defensive mechanism can become permanent. The power starts seeing everyone as a potential threat.”
