Athena followed Karyn into the McMillan home, up the stairs, down the hallway. It felt like walking into the lion's den. Sarah McMillan may no longer live here, but her presence still permeated everything. Athena made sure to keep herself on guard at all times.
Karyn opened a door and the two entered. When the door closed behind them, it felt like an immense pressure was released. Both girls felt it.
"I- I'm sorry," Karyn started. "I got myself sucked in, and now I can't get myself out."
"I can't fight this on my own," Athena answered. "I need you to keep your head on straight."
"I don't know if I can. Sarah's taken over my old life, and the longer I'm in this one, the harder it is to remember who I am.
"Then we'll have to make this new life more like your old one." Athena looked around the room for anything that could immediately be changed.
