"Athena, just tell me what happened." Jane said. "You know you can tell me anything."

"Don't be mad at me or Eric. Promise?" Athena said.

Jane reached through the bars to hold onto her sister's hands. "Promise." She said.

Athena took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Eric raped me." She breathed out.

Jane sat silent. When Athena opened her eyes, she looked at her sister's pale face and lifeless eyes. "Jane? Please say something..."

"Why?" Was all Jane said.

Athena explained Eric's whole reasoning behind it. How he was drunk and mad at Jane because of the fight they had just gotten into so he wanted to get back at her. She told Jane about Eric's little sister and about CC and about everything she had been keeping from her sister. Jane just sat there and took it all in.

"So, you're not mad... are you?" Athena asked.

Jane looked at her. "No, I'm not mad." She said. "Shocked, yes. Mad, no. I couldn't be mad at you or Eric for something like that. There's been a lot going on lately. I understand." Jane stood up and Athena followed, reaching her arms through the bars towards her sister in an attempt to hug her.

"Aw, how sweet. A family moment." A man's voice said.

Athena and Jane broke apart from each other to see who it was. Athena's mother stood up from the mattress she was just sitting on and walked to the front wall of bars on her cell.

"Stay away from my daughters, Keith. It's me you want, right? So, you have me. Why my daughters, too?" She asked.

"Beth," He walked over to her. "To make you suffer more, of course. If you had never left, none of this would be happening. Say you'll come home with me and your daughters will go free, safe from harm."

"Mom, don't do it!" Athena begged. "We'll be okay. Don't do this to yourself. You can't stay with him!"

"You shut up." Keith smacked a wooden stick against the bars. The sound reverberated off the walls. "So, Beth?" He looked back at her.

"No, Keith." She said. "Kill me if you must. But I will never go back to living with you again."

"Huh, too bad. Looks like your daughters are under my control now."

With the snap of his fingers, one of his henchmen lifted a gun and pointed it at Athena. He cocked the gun and put his finger on the trigger.

CC, Jake, Jinxx and Andy all sat around a table in the hospital cafeteria.

"Still no word from Athena?" Andy asked CC.

CC shook his head. "I have no idea where she could be."

"Check your phone recently?" Jinxx suggested.

"I'll check again but I highly doubt she-" CC looked down at his phone and stopped mid sentence when he saw Athena's name light up the screen. "Hello? Athena?" He answered.

"CC?" It sounded like she was crying.

"Athena, what's going on?"

"You have to come save me, please."

"Wh-Where are you? I'll come right away."

The other end of the line went dead. "Athena?! Hello?!" CC panicked.

"What's going on?" Andy asked.

"I have no idea. She just told me I had to go save her. I don't know where she is. I'm scared, guys."

"Don't worry, CC. We'll help you." Jake comforted. "Let's go grab Ashley and get out of here. We need to figure out what's going on."
