It was a big house, with lots of rooms, finding her's was not easy. First she came into a porch, then a dinning room with mahogany table, then a kitchen which lead to the a central hallway and stairway. Her best guess told her, her room was upstairs, wear she found a master bedroom, and a hallway, which had three doors. She opened the first to find a sort of workout room which appeared to be used for zumba and Yoga, from the mats on the ground.
The she skipped the second door, thinking it might be Sarah's, only to find that the Third door opened to a large pastel room, with a photo collage featuring Sarah and her Cheerleading friends at various events. A white four poster bed, and various clothes about the place. So this was Sarah's room, once again in trying to avoid her world she was finding it. A large mirror on a vanity was on one wall, next to a large walk in closet. The room had the feeling of a spoiled princess, of teenage years fully indulged in, of carelessness born from carefreeness. It did not escape her than in the collage, were pictures of Beth and Sarah on vacation in the Bahamas, in bikinis, smiling, happy. Athena was half surprised by how tan she looked, she was never one for the sun. It was made clear to her from the pictures that this rebellion of her's was a somewhat new development, so Who was She?
She left Sarah's room.
Going at last for the second door, her room, there was an air of energy about it, that she could feel, like taking a step into a different world, this both scared and excited her. She opened the door to find a room, not quite as large as Sarah's, with a bed that filled a large bay window, flanked by bookshelves, filled with many books. This was her room. It was green and brown, not the darker colors she was used to, but not the pastel pink and purple of Sarah's room either. In the corner she found a sewing station, and a sketchbook, similar to what she had in her old place, but fair nicer. By it was a walk in closet similar to what Sarah had, and containing many many fine clothes which Athena spend about a half hour looking at and admiring, they were much nicer than anything she would have worn and yet all seemed to fit her tastes, many dresses, old fashioned, but somehow also sexier than what she had before, and also scarfs and tops and skirts and other things she would never have thought to wear, would never had fit her before, which made her wonder what she would look like in them. Another thing to try later.
In the back of the closet she found rolls of cloth, which brought her back to her sewing station and the sketchbook. In which she found many cut outs from magazines and some drawings of her own. As she paged though it she found the dress she was wearing, from a magazine, and next to it, a drawing of the same dress with measurements. She had made this dress. She was impressed with herself, as she took it off to get a better look. She had taken a designer dress and added some older touches, like the corset design, it also appeared she had shortened it. Where had she learned to do this? It was then that she saw herself in a mirror, without the dress she could fully see herself. She was a knockout, it was also then that she noticed her underwear, a black matched pair of lace panties and bra, she noticed she was now a 36 C and from her closet she could tell she was still growing, compared to her former 32 b.
As she was changing she found a crumpled piece of paper on her shoe, which she picked up and put in her pocket, without thinking.
She found a pair of black Capri's and a white top to change into, noticing after that the pants showed off something she never had before, her new ass. This made her smile, and for a while she was indulgent and vain about her new looks, before she got back to business. She sat on her bed and looked at the bookcase. Many books from school, some manga she owned in her other life, many books on how to sew and a whole large section of fashion magazines. She was happy to find many books that she used to own about myths, then there were the books she hadn't read. Romance Novels, Pride and prejudice, a Dvd Collection containing 500 days of Summer, How to lose a Guy in Ten days, and Love actually, and for some reason Braveheart. No books on witchcraft.
She began to look through her desk, trying to find a journal, when she heard a knock on her door. It was Sarah.
"Hey, School was weird today. Me and Trevor broke again. He was acting like a freak." She said this like it happened a lot, and that she wasn't worried about it. She sat down on the bed.
"I'm sure you'll find someone new soon." Athena said, she meant it to sound like she was calling her a slut, but it had come out like she cared and was confident in her sisters abilities.
"yeah, we need to get you a guy. You spend too much time couped up in here, we need to get you out more. Did mom talk to you about the squad?"
"Yes, and I'm not going to do it."
"But Bethy it'd be so good for you! I know you'd be great, You could even design new uniforms for us if you wanted to, You've no idea how much fun it is, and how much it can change your life! You really should give it a try, just a try."
"It's Athena and You have no idea how much my life has changed already" Athena retorted.
"Oh yeah, the name thing, I know your into being all deep and arty, but you can still do that. I'm talking about bigger changes. social stuff that can affect the rest of your life."
"No, i need to find out who i am right now, and i can't deal with making that you."
"And what's wrong with me? I have a great life, and great future, listen, I've said my thingy, Mom apparently has an offer for you at dinner, I'm supposed to tell you it'll be ready in about ten minutes."
"Ok great" Athena said, meaning to sound sarcastic but sounding normal.
"just try it. I think you'll love it." sarah said.
The yellow sticky was warm in Athena's pocket as she said this.
