Athena was somewhat surprised to see Zoe at her doorstep. The thing that was in her that used to be Sarah told her that she didn't hang with that type of girl, she was above that nonsense and darkness, but she pushed that aside, for the part that was herself knew that this was her friend and she was happy to see her.
"Oh thank Goddess you came!" Athena said. "Come up, I've got a lot to tell you."
Zoe came in. "so this is your place now?"
"Yeah, and Biff is my boyfriend, but I'll give you details about that later." she said with sly smile that Athena never would have made. Zoe wasn't one for gossip, and she knew that, but how could she not be impressed with having a guy like that.
"So, what happened?" Zoe asked, as soon as they got to Athena's new room with the sky light and the balcony.
"with this." Athena said. Holding out the blindfold that Sarah had worn when she was spinning and pointing.
I Hated Sarah, she was a bitch, and she was never going to pay for it. She had everything, money, power, people listened to her and would do what she said because she was cunning or simply because she was hot and knew how to use it and she made all of us feel like shit.
So last night I cast a spell on her. over the past few months I have been courting the Goddess Justice to free us from her tyranny, and I woke up with this in my pocket yesterday.
She held out the blindfold.
"it's the blindfold that covers the eyes of justice!" But I know better than to use it, Magic like that burns a person up, so i gave it to Sarah and told her it could help her make a perfect squad.
"And then you got picked and it backfired." Zoe said, understanding the situation and feeling a lot of relief, her friend had done a good thing, it had just not gone as well as she might have hoped.
"No actually, I knew I was going to get hit."
"and you still Did it?" Zoe was pissed now, How could she chose this life!
"there are rules, and if you cast a spell on someone it's going to reflect back on you it always does. I knew something might happen, i just didn't know what. Now here i am. I took out Sarah, she's gone now, but something had to fill that role, so here i am. I'm the new Sarah."
So what about the others then? Zoe asked. Are they all Sarah too?
In part, Athena said, they all have parts of her somewhere inside of them. It's the thing that's made them what they are, and why i sent them home, so they can come to grips with having a part of her in there lives.
I think i understand...but what does that mean for you? Do you like this? Zoe said, pointing out the very unAthena surroundings.
It's growing on me, it's different, but i guess it's ok. Athena tried to make it sound like she liked it less than she actually did. She didn't want to alienate her friend......Now lets talk about what this means for you....
