The hair in the back her neck stood up she felt the tension on her senses, like a cat she immediately pounce on that someone behind her."Whoah Athena what are you doing!?" Robert yelled in shock as her hands end up in his neck strangling him."What are doing sneaking up behind me?" She immediately remove her hands in the man's neck. "Heavens, I never knew you are that strong I nearly lost my breath literally." He complained.
