=/\= Kinisi =/\= Athena sat curled up on the bench on the promenade watching everyone and pulled the blanket closer around her. Her attention was drawn to a woman who seemed to be laughing at everything she saw and Athena sensed extreme happiness. A man walked by her and looked over his shoulder. The man's behavior and jerky movements caught her attention and her eyes followed him as he kept peering over his shoulder or even turning around suddenly and looking behind him. Athena sensed fear, the fear you feel when around an animal that's being hunted. Athena became focuses on a man who kissed everything and everyone that he passed. She watched as he kissed a passing woman. She sensed amorous feelings and was only mildly surprised when the gentleman that was with the recently kissed woman stepped forward and hit the kissing man. Of course the kissing man only kissed his attacker. What was surprising though was when the man bent over the edge of the fountain and kissed the water and then promptly choked. A tall figure wearing a dark cloak walked passed grabbing Athena's attention and she shudder and almost screamed from what she sensed from him. She tried to make herself even smaller on the bench and clutched her blanket even closer to her chest. As wave after wave of senses hit her, she began to feel trapped and wanted everything to stop. She couldn't concentrate on the lessons she had been taught. "Make your mind blank," a calm voice seemed to tell her, but she saw no one. Athena tried to clear her mind and as she did so she felt as though she could hear their thoughts echoing in her head. She had closed her eyes to concentrate but they flew open and she covered her ears. "Stop! Stop!," she screamed over and over to drowned out the voices in her head. Her heart was beating faster as she watched the faces of the people in front of her. Their features became blurred as tears spilled over her lids to run down her face as she pleaded, "Stop! Oh, please stop." She felt a moment of calmness and looked up to see a tall skinny man. He kind of looked like the sickly skinny kid in school. Athena's watery clear blue gaze met his hazel one. She liked the calm she felt when she concentrated on him. He looked a little past Athena and said something. She didn't hear the words as she turned to see whom he was speaking to. {{Harvey}} echoed through her head. She was desperate to keep the calm she was feeling and looked to where The man and looked and said, "Hello, Harvey." The man started to walk away and Athena gathered up her blanket and started to follow him. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt. Athena Wellington Counselor USS Chimera
