Nicole saw the fear on his face as she heard the door open. She turned her head towards the door and saw an older man walk in. He seemed to move with determination, dressed in expensive attire. Nicole saw how his eyes moved over her body, she felt exposed to him. Her fear rose, if that was even possible. Her in her panic she pulled at the restraints again. She heard his voice and a shiver ran down her spine. He knew who she was, of course he did, he was the one who wanted her. Nicole kept her eyes on this man, she felt that anything he would do to her would be worse than Kai. She heard him speak a different name to the boy, Coulson. She took a glimpse at the boy, he seemed so scared of this man. This only scared her more. The boy acted like a wounded solider at the mercy of the enemy.

She smiled, "I'm normally free Tuesday and Sunday." She offered as she entered the building. Tabby walked up the stairs, figuring the guys would want the only elevator. She unlocked the apartment door before going in. Tabitha waited for Valerie, "I'm going to shower." She said as she put groceries away. When she finished she went to her room, grabbed skinny jeans, a black tank top and a matching set of red underwear. She left the door to her room opened, her phone and bag on her bed. There was a pair of sneakers pulled out sitting by her bed, the sneakers had been worn and had stains on them. Tabitha turned the hot water on and shut the door before undressing and getting under the water.

Tabitha stepped out of the shower. She dried herself off and put on her underwear and jeans before looking at herself in the mirror. She sighed grabbing the hair dryer. She began fighting with her curls as she dried them. This took the longest time in her routine. Tabby finished her hair, her curls dropping down uncontrollably. She took a deep sigh knowing this was the best she could do. She began putting her makeup on, she preferred something natural but a deeper lip color. Tonight she picked a mauve almost wine like shade. She took her time hoping the delivery boys were gone by the time she finished.

Tabitha finished in the bathroom. She put her black tank top on and exited. She walked passed Valerie's room to get to hers but she stopped. "Nice vanity." She said cheerfully. She could see she was busy doing something. Tabitha went to her room. She looked in the closet and found her fake red leather jacket. She threw it on the sat on her bed and put her sneakers on. She took a look at herself with the mirror hanging off her closet door. She sighed, ran her hand through her bouncy curls and grabbed her phone and bag. She left her room shutting the door behind her.

Nicole's eye betrayed her as she looked at him. She felt it would be best not to give this man any information. Nicole tried to put anger in her voice, "What do you want?" She pulled against the restraints more, desperate to escape. She hated the way he was looking at her, like she was nothing but dinner. Her chest rose and fell quickly as her breathing quickened and her pulse raced. Nicole knew she wouldn't give him what he wanted. She was going to fight for her life every step. She kept her eyes on the man standing over her and struggled for her freedom.

Tabitha smiled and looked at her, Valerie looked very professional and like she was ready to work. "You look great. Where's the interview?" She asked.

Tabby smiled, "Good luck." She watched her before she sighed. She didn't want to go to work. "I'm going to head out. I won't be back till after 3 this morning so I'll try to be quiet when I get in." Tabitha walked to the door and left. She took the five block wall to work and then clocked in. Friday night in a college town, this was going to be fun and long.

Tabitha smiled as the night went on. It was loud busy and full of drunks. She kept her professionalism as many guys hit on her and tried to touch her butt whenever they could. By 2 in the morning her cheeks hurt and she was ready to drop. It didn't help that it was now Saturday and she had to come back at 6 for another shift. Tabby cleaned up the bar, did her drop and took her tips. She walked home alone the five blocks, pulling her jacket tight over her chest. She hated the walk home but she just hurried through. She made it to their apartment. As quietly as she could she locked the door up and went pass Valerie's room to her own. Tabitha kicked her sneakers off, removed her alcohol scented top and jeans and fell on her bed exhausted. She hated this job. It wasn't long before Tabitha fell asleep, still in her bra and panties. She kept thinking about Valerie.

Tabitha stayed in bed later than she prefers but she was tired. If she was this exhausted how would she feel after tonight, a double bar tender night. It was after ten in the morning when she finally opened her eyes. She groaned and rolled over on her side. She smelled the scent of bacon and pulled herself into an upright position. She looked at herself realizing she was a mess and still in her bra and panties. She took a deep breath and forced herself off her bed. She went to her closet and grabbed some workout clothes. Maybe going for a run would wake her up before work tonight. She threw on a sports bra and some leggings. Tabitha grabbed some clean socks and the sneakers before going out to the bathroom. She quickly washed the makeup off her face and grabbed a hair tie. She pulled her hair up out of her face and walked to the kitchen. "Sorry. I should have been up earlier." She dropped her shoes by the door and walked over to Valerie. "Do you need help for anything?" Tabitha said washing her hands.

"Both." Tabitha answered. She dried her hands and grabbed two glasses. "Grape, apple, milk or water?" She asked going to the fridge.

Helena followed the beauty. Her mind started wondering as she found herself not questioning this Goddess but instead thinking about her. Was all the lore true? Was she truly a despicable woman? If that was the case, why was she still alive?

Helena's thoughts were broken by the voice of the goddess. "No..." She trailed off unsure of what else to say. She stepped through the doorway into the cabin home. It was not what she would have imagined for the Goddess. She turned to the goddess, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Why did you spare me?" Helena asked in a small voice.

Tabitha brought over their glasses after pouring them both grape juice. She sat the glasses down and then took a seat opposite Valerie. "Everything looks great." She said taking the butter and spreading it on her pancakes. "How was your interview yesterday?"

Helena listened to what she said. So there it was, the reason behind the town's fear. But the goddess was right, why would they sacrifice someone without true knowledge. The goddess had changed her ways according to her story. Helena looked at her trying to think of a reason why she should be spared. There wasn't much she was able to do in her sort life, after all. Could that be reason enough? Her last sentence meant a lot to Helena, it was out of her control to be here, call it bad luck. Helena looked down trying to think of something to say. "I appreciate this chance, of course I don't want to die but on the other hand I can't think of a good reason to live. I haven't done much in my time here, maybe thats reason enough. Truth is I want to live but I can't imagine a life better. I know there has to be something better than working day in and out in that town that felt so little for me as to let me die." Helena felt that this answer had sealed her fate, she was going to die by the hands of the beauty.

Nicole hated the sound of this man's voice. He spoke so arrogantly of himself. Nicole figured her father would pay anything but she wasn't sure he would give up his job. His job always came before her anyways. She kept her eyes on him as he went to Coulson. Maybe death was her best option, give her life to keep this man out of the DA's office. She watched him leave then looked at Coulson thinking whats next.

"That's great!" Tabitha said. She was excited for her. Tabitha started on her pancakes and proceeded to her bacon. "You ready to start a new job?" She asked.

"That's good." Tabitha said finishing her plate. "You're going to be a server right?" She asked as she picked up her plate. She went to the sink and ran the hot water. She was getting ready to do the dishes.

Tabitha started washing the dishes. "So, I was going to go for a run..." She trailed off not sure where she was going with this. She knew she had about six hours before she had to get ready for work.

Tabitha smiled, "Yeah. Hopefully it will energize me for my shift tonight." Tabitha was almost done with the dishes at this point.

Helena looked at her. She didn't understand why the Goddess asked so many questions. She knew her name, wouldn't she know about her history. "I'm an orphan, my father died in a coal mine collapse and my mother had an heart attack. As for friends, I wouldn't call anyone who would so effortlessly leave me to die a friend. " Helena knew she sounded cold but she was being honest. What kind of friends would let her die? Helena started feeling guilty for these thoughts but that didn't change her mind. She looked at the goddess, "Are you going to kill me?"

Nicole was angered by Coulson's comments. "You already know the answer. I'm the idiot here thinking you were nothing but a random stranger then you kidnapped me and now what? Going to keep me tied here like this till your boss tells you to kill me. You know that's how this will end, I'm already dead." She said with fire in her voice. "Want that on your shoulders? Because it's your fault." She said to him. She let out her breath. Nicole was angry and wanted to scream.
