After waking up and having breakfast the doctor took me along for some more tests.
When we entered the room with a desk, an examination table and a few chairs, he gestured for me to sit on the examination table.
"Take a seat Miss. Sawyer."
I nodded and without saying a word I sat down on the table. While the doctor was typing away on his computer I noticed my headache from yesterday seemed to have gone away.
Well, Athena was right. Some rest did help. Speaking of Athena, I hadn't heard her since yesterday evening. It did happen right?
The doctor stands up from his chair and stands in front of me.
"Ok, let's start our tests shall we?" He laughs.
He acts as if I have a choise.
"What happend to your hand Miss. Sawyer?"
'So it did happen?'
"Urm..."
I didn't know what to say. I mean, how do you explain an immortal being taking over your body without sounding completely insane? Exactly, you can't.
The doctor eyed me, but let it go. I assume he had some scenarios running through his mind. He took care of it and then proceeded with the tests.
He mainly tested how my brain was functioning and how I was responding to things.
After the tests he brought me back to my room. I sat back on my bed. Now what? I guess I could watch some tv.
I zapped through the channels, but there was nothing interesting enough for me to keep watching. I turned the tv off and returned to doing nothing.
Maybe I should try talking to Athena again? I mean, at least it gives me something to do right?
"Athena?" I whisper, scared someone might hear me and think I'm crazy.
"Athena?"
Nothing...Wait she said she had multiple names. Which ones again?
Something with a 'P' no? 'Poelos'? No, that can't be right. 'Pellos'. No...
'Come on Sky. She listed multiple yesterday.'
'Pallas'. Yes, that's the one!
"Pallas Athena?" I try, a little louder.
Again, nothing. Ok, so according to her we're stuck with each other. Yet she doesn't talk to me. Great, just great.
I turned on the tv again. There still wasn't anything interesting on, but it was better then talking to an ignorant immortal in my head.
After what seemed like hours there was a knock on my door. I turned the tv off and sat up a little straighter.
The door opened and Cristy appeared.
"Took you long enough." I smirk.
"You know I could just turn around and leave right?" She says with the same smirk.
"Meh, I'd prefer it if you stayed."
"Fine, but only because I have something, specially for you."
"For me?"
What could she possibly have for me.
"Yes, for you."
Her hand reaches in a bag and takes out a plastic cup, filled with a dark pinkish liquid in it.
"Is that?"
"A Merry Berry smoothie from Jerry's juices? Yep, the one and only."
"Omg Cris, you're the best!"
"I know, I know, just enjoy the drink ok?"
She didn't have to say that twice. I took a sip of the drink and it tasted just the way I remember.
I always used to go to Jerry's Juices with my dad, until he passed away last year. I always had a Merry Berry and my dad would always have Banana Mana. After he passed away I kinda stopped going.
I saw my name on the cup and recognised Jerry's quick handwriting. I missed going to that place. I should go again sometime soon.
After our smoothie the doctor came in and told me the test results. Everything seemed normal.
"You may leave with your friend today." He announced and left.
After getting the paperwork done, I was allowed to go home. I stepped into Cristy's Audi, next to her.
As we drove the headache started coming back.
"How about a late lunch?" Cristy asked.
It was 1:30pm and by the looks of it neither of us had eaten anything yet.
"Yeah, sure." I respond.
"What about Carol's place?"
"Sounds good to me."
Carol was a mutual friend of ours. She ran a small restaurant close to where we live. She's quite a bit older then us, but we still loved her.
By the time we arrived my head was throbbing. As Cristy got out of the car I stayed for a minute.
"Did you miss me?" Says a voice I recognize by now.
"Well, well, well, so the goddess decided to bless me with her presence?" I replie a little mad for ignoring me earlier.
"There wasn't really anything to say. Besides we both know that headache was annoying you." Says Athena.
"So you're the one who is causing this stupid headache?!"
"Yes, correct."
Cristy opened the door again, making me jump.
"Come on Sky, what are you waiting for?" She asked, quirking a brow.
"N-nothing." I respond.
"Right..." I whisper unwilling.
"What?" Cristy asks.
"Nevermind, let's go inside." I say quickly.
I get out of the car and we walk inside.
"Will you shut up when she's around?!" I whisper to Athena.
"Depends." Is the response that comes out of my mouth.
I enter right behind Cristy.
"Cristy and Skyler." says a woman with dirty blonde hair that just reaches her shoulders.
Carol is in her late twenties and has hazel colored eyes. She's not so tall, but makes up for it with her confident peronality.
"What's up Carol?" asks Cristy as she sits down in one of the boots.
Carol stops with whatever she's doing and walks over to us. I join Cristy in the boot after hugging Carol. After hugging me she hugs Cristy as well.
"Where have you girls been? I haven't seen you two all week."
Usually we come to Carol's at least once a week. Or at least we try to.
"Sorry Carol, we've been a little busy this week." I apologize.
"Yeah, busy knocking yourself out with a frying pan." Cristy snickers.
I glare at her. Carol looks utterly confused.
"Knocked yourself out with...a frying pan?!"
"You dont' know that Cris. You weren't there. Besides I don't even rember what happend myself."
"And so I will keep believing it until you prove me otherwise." Cristy says with a smug smile on her face.
Carol pulls up a chair and takes a seat.
"Okay now you two owe me an explanaition." She says pointing at the both of us.
"So I heard this bang and I went to see where it came from and found Sky here unconcious on the ground...with a frying pan in her hand."
"Okay, Skyler, anything you can say to make that clearer cause that doesn't make sense. Like at all." Carol smiles, looking at me as if Cristy is crazy.
"So I-..."
I wasn't able to go any further since Athena took control of my voice.
"So I heard these loud noices. Which appeared to be cars crashing against one another and I didn't really think much of it because, you know it happens right?"
Carol gave me a strange look. She probably thought: 'What the hell Sky? Why are you acting like a cold ass bitch?'. If only you knew Carol. If only you knew. I mentally gritted my teeth as Athena continued for me.
"Well and then the lights started flickering and I was starting to get a little scared. Then I heard a knock on the door which made me even more scared. So I passed through the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan. When I opened the door I didn't see anything. Then just as I was about to close the door I was knocked out cold, by a damn strong, beautiful and-..."
"By some weird lady. That's the last thing I remember." I cut Athena off, finally having the control over my own voice again.
Both Carol and Cristy gave me strange looks. This was unlike me...Well of course it was it was like Athena... apparently.
"Urm...I'll be right back." I say.
I almost run to the bathroom.
"I thought she didn't remember." I hear Cristy say as I enter.
I stand in front of the mirror and immediately Athena takes control.
"What did you cut me off for? I was right in the middle of-"
My blood started boiling and I gritted my teeth.
"I was the one that cut you off?! What about you?! You cut me of first!" I yell at myself in the mirror.
"You were about to speak nonsense."
"That doesn't give you the right to cut me off like that."
Athena ignores my statement.
"And some weird lady?! I'm still a goddess mind you!"
"Maybe, but that still doesn't mean you can take control whenever you please!"
"Dear, like I said 'it's my body too now'."
Athena's voice is still calm. Not even raised the slightest, while I yell at her.
"Indeed, yours too. That still means we share and considering I owned it first I have most control."
"Oh, please."
"Shut up! Will you?!"
"Fine. Whatever..."
You can hear a clear diffrence in voices whenever she takes over. Suddenly I notice something.
"Athena...talk again will you?"
"Oh so now you want me to take over?! Girl, know what you want! Mortals, ugh..."
"My eyes..." I say dumbstruck.
