Chapter 10

The party!

Athena called out to everyone in the ballroom of her magnificent fort, "thank you all for coming to my 17th. This means a lot." She smiled and went to the dance floor, dancing to Shinedown's Second Chance. I walked in with Daxter on my shoulders, Torn on my left, and Ashlein on my right. Rosalie said Athena was wearing a red ball gown with a rose on the chest. Rose also said that Athena had on a gold mask with sparkles on it. I said thanks and started to search the crowd.

Ashlein and Torn checked the back to be sure she didn't walk out. Daxter, Keira, and Tess checked the balcony. I finally found Andy, I asked if he saw Athena anywhere. He jerked is head toward the refreshment table. "She's over there," he said, "the one with the red dress." I saw where the girl stood laughing and joking with the others around her. I walked over and asked her to dance. We danced to Shinedown's Sound Of Madness. She twirled and flipped up onto my shoulders. Torn saw us and he grabbed Ashlein to join in.

Dax, Tess, and Keira joined in too. When the guitar break hit, they broke off and let Athena and I dance alone. I tipped her back and smiled. "NOW JAK!" Jasper yelled. I ripped off the mask and she saw my face. "Jak," she gasped at my costume, "you look like Andy." Andy and Emmett came to tell me that Jak was here but saw he took his mask off already."Damn," said Emmett, "Jasper threw out the signal too soon." "Sig," Athena said, "is he here?" I remembered that Sig told her he'd come.

I didn't see him anywhere. Someone tapped Athena on the shoulder, "may I dance with the birthday girl?" She turned around fast, and noticed someone familiar, "Sig," she screamed, "you're here!" I breathed out in relief. I then told them we had to get back to Spargus soon. Damas would be looking for us. Athena said we could stay for a while longer, that Damas wouldn't mind. I looked at a little black box I pulled out of my pocket.

"Jak," Emmett said, " you need to ask her, so that way you will have her for life." I nodded and said that I'll ask her right now. "Athena," I said, "will you come to the top of the stairs with me for a second?" "Sure," she said, "why?" I laughed softly, "You'll see," I said, "You will see..." I took her hand, and guided her up the steps. I couldn't wait. I will be glad if she says that one word I wanna hear. That word is, yes.
