Chapter One - Just Too Late.

Mile's arms held me tight as I glared up at the building now ablaze before us, the emergency services racing around us as the tried to stop the flames from spreading, but we knew this fire would only take this building and its secrets.

"She escaped" I mutter angrily and Jace's finger twist with mine.
"I know but we will find her, she is running, that gives us the upper hand and we have the resources to find her again" he soothes but I am not satisfied, every day she is free, she is a danger to my men, my family and we need to stop her.

My gaze searches for my two missing gods, and I see Kal and Owen standing talking to the staff that had managed to get free of the buildings destructive blast.  My gaze moved and I saw a woman stood alone, yet within the crowd watching them.  I could almost feel her fear and anger as she looked at who was left, he eyes frequently returning to my gods.  "We need to speak to that girl" I whisper to Jace, indicating with my head, who I mean. 

Jace and Miles look at her and frown.  "Is that Terra?" Miles asks Jace, who nods briefly.
"Who?" I ask, as Miles takes a step her way, leaving me in Jace's hold.
"Terra, is, was, Helene's assistant" he whispers back as we watch Miles reach her.  Her reaction to his arrival was not what I was expecting, her head bowing slightly and her gaze looking relieved he was there. They exchanged a few words before turning back to us, Terra looking at me as she approached at Mile's side.

"Terra, this is Athena, Thena, Terra worked for Helene" Miles introduced us before again wrapping himself around my back, his arms circling my waist.
"Lady goddess" Terra bowed slightly, trying not to bring attention our way.
"You know who I am?" I asked quietly, surprised when she nodded.

"We all felt it when you awakened, Lady Helene had me research any seismic activity and I traced it back to the island, and hoped that finally we had a chance to..." she stilled looking around fearfully.
"Reset the balance?" I finished for her and she nodded. "Did you tell her, did she know it was me?" I ask, already feeling the answer.

"No, I lost the report, tried to cover it up, but she still found out today, she had a visitor from Greece this morning, after that... well she was not happy, she planned to kill us all, to burn us alive" Terra shivered, her eyes blazing with anger. "Let me help you" she begged.

I felt the men at my side tense, waiting for my answer. "No, your place is here with the rest of your coven, you need to bring them together and flush Helene's influence out, she leads you no more" I tell her, watching the struggle on her face. "Terra, I promise I will come to you if we need your help" and I see the acceptance in her eyes.

"Thank you" she replies and I nod, watching as she turns back to the other staff and takes a step before stopping abruptly, turning back to us, her hand going into her pocket and pulling out a flash drive, passing it to Mile's. "This may help you" she smiles before leaving.

Owen and Kal joining us as she walks away. "What was that all about, was she able to tell you anything?" Kal asks and I nod.
"Someone from Greece warned Helene, so she still has allies and she gave us this" Miles holds up the flash drive to show them.
