ATHENA'S POV

The feeling of finally in my own bed is breathtaking. My muscle began to relaxed and I'm at peace. I don't even care if I'm dead in the next hour. I tossed and turned around and just admiring the softest bed sheet ever. I love this life. "Athena?" I ignored that person. Oh come on. I just arrived!

"Athena...." but I think I know the owner of that voice.

"Athena... please wake up." I opened my eyes and wondering why does Tatiana on top of me. "What are you doing?" She seems like she's about to cry. I sighed. "Alright. I'm fully awake. What's up?" She wiped her tears from her cheek. "Did you meet Hercules?" I nodded. "How is he?" She asked. "He's good." I smiled.

"Did you kill him?" Where does she learned about this? "No. I didn't. I won't kill your future husband little sis. Is that why you flew all the way from Russia? Alone?!" She slowly nodded. Wow. Love can be such a pain. "Now can you please let me sleep. I'm so tired." She nodded and lay next to me. I remembered this clearly.

We used to have sleepover in each other room back in Russia. We were so close. "I also miss our Sleepover. Beside I'm alone in Russia. Mom and dad went for a business trip. Zinovia's at home but she's preparing for her concert. Annushka, staying with her fiancée and Natalya back in Paris."

"So you decided to be here rather than Paris? That's a first for me and you didn't even ask Zinovia to be in a flight with you. I am so proud." She hugged my body and rest her head on my chest. "I took the family's private jet." Ah.. no wonder. I feel sorry for the flight attendant. We talk for a little while before our eyes close because of exhaustion.

*FEW HOURS LATER*

"Sister... you have a guest." Tatiana' voice vibrated to my ear drum. "Tell them to fuck it." I mumbled and covering myself with the duvet. "But sister, she's the student president, Varvara Volin." My eyes widen. Did I do something wrong? I don't recall doing anything though.

"Tell her to wait. I'm naked right now." Tatiana nodded. "AND YOU NEED TO COVER YOURSELF AS WELL!" Geez that girl. Greeting guest with only wearing her underwear. I got up from my bed and grabbed the red knee length silk robe that was hanging on my bathroom door. I tied it up and went outside to meet Varvara. I wonder what does she want. She never been here before.

If she need something, she usually send her minions for me. I was at the top of the stairs when I saw her waiting for me. I walked down the stairs and smiled at her. Wait a minute, is she blushing?! She looked away from me and pointed at my direction. "Your lower part of the robe. It's showing."

I stopped dead on my track and fixed it. How embarrassing can I be?! "Anything I can you help with?" I asked, trying to covering myself from all the embarrassment. "Mama wanted me to invite you to a special occasion the day after tomorrow. It's for welcoming our guest. She said you wouldn't want to miss this opportunity."

I curious to what mama meant by that. "Sure. I'll be glad to." She smile. "We also invited Natalya. And she too agreed on coming since she's Irina's girlfriend." I don't know how to react to that. My heart are shattered but I'm happy that Natalya finally found someone better than Anton. But I am worried about Irina meeting Anton as well. What if.. he....

"Athena? Are you okay?" Varvara's voice bring me back to reality. "I'm okay. Please, have a seat. I'll prepare some refreshment." She nodded and I lead her to the gazebo outside. I went back inside and prepared the tea myself. When I walked out, she was standing by the edge, looking at the man-made lake.

"Here." She didn't respond. I was pouring the tea for her when she suddenly kneeling down in front of me. It startled me but she took my hand and apologised countless of time. I have no idea how to react to this. "I'm sorry." For what? I rubbed her head and lifted her chin. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry for falling in love with you." Whoa! Hold the fucking phone. "What?" That's the only word I manage to say. "I've been hiding this feelings I have but recently I can't contain it anymore when you, show interest for my sister, I feel the jealousy overwhelmed me."

She's confessing isn't she? I can't believe she's crying. Come to think of it she's kinda cute this way. What's the harm in trying to open up to her right? I stopped her from rambling even longer and cupped her face. "Relax. Take a deep breath, exhale... inhale... exhale.. better?" She nodded. I smiled at her.

"I'm sorry... but.." before I could finish my sentences, she cut me off. "Oh.. I know. I'm sorry fo......" I shut her mouth using my hand. "Can you please shut up for once and let me finish." She vigorously nodded. "As I was saying, I can't agreed on becoming your girlfriend just like that. Yes we known each other for quite sometime but, this is a matter of the heart." I released her mouth.

"So can we be friends first?" That's the widest smile I ever seen she ever mustered up. "Yes. We can." I smiled back. "Good. Now please sit on the chair. We can introduce ourselves once again." She seems nice. Maybe just maybe she will be perfect for me. "I hope Zoya have a good news once in a while." I am confuse by what she meant.

"What happen to Zoya?" She didn't say anything but smiling at me. I'll be lying if I'm not curious about her, and Zoya. But, whatever it is, I'm sure I will know soon enough. "Hey, is it alright for us to go to the cafeteria for lunch today?" I nodded.

"It's my treat." Varvara winked. Now that's music to my ears.

***

"Here." I thanked Varvara for the lunch she bought. "Hey. Are you forgetting something important?" I asked her while pouring. God why am I being this childish in front of her. She seems to be thinking about something. "I'm not sure. What is it?" She's being honest. One more point to be in my heart.

"Feed me." She laughed and apologised. "Here... say ahhh." I happily eat my food from her spoon. This mean it's a indirect kiss right? "Whoa. This is a new sight." Faina joining in with us with her camera. Then a flashed blinded us both. "Picture perfect." Faina smiled.

"Yup. Agreed." It's Zoya. She seems to be down.

"No good?" Varvara asked her. She shake her head. I wonder what happened to her. "Is not something I will say today!" She laughed and so does Varvara and Faina. "Well I'm happy that she manage to lie....." both Varvara and Zoya covered Faina's mouth from talking. Lie? Who lied?

"Hey bitches." Irina slammed her tray on the table, startling all of us. What is wrong with her now? Wait, why is she out from the hospital already? "Aren't you suppose to be in the hospital? They didn't even remove the bandages yet. You just flee?" Varvara asked her.

"Yea. The nurse's that was suppose to take care of me, shes married." What is the connection of the nurse's marital status to the reason she flee from the hospital? "She have this beautiful, beautiful figure but terrible, terrible love life." Again what's the connection? She looked up to me with her bruised and bandaid face.

"Treat my sister good or I'll throw your corpse by the lake at the back of your mansion." She simply said and took a bite of her burger. I'll take that as a threat. "Wow. You look horrible. Hey Zoya." Evara decided to joined us as well. "How's your trip?" She smiled. "Good. Here is your key back. Thank you for letting me borrowing the car."

"What is she doing here?" I asked when I saw my sister walking in the cafeteria like she own the place. Irina turned to Natalya's direction with her mouth full. "Oh hey!!" She mumbled and swallowed her food. "I thought your going to be here by tomorrow." Natalya sat on her thigh and smiled at us all.

"Well I miss you silly. And congratulation on winning the first game. I am so proud of you. All of you." I scoffed and leaned in to Varvara. "My food." She smiled and feed me. "Athena? Are you making her your slave? That's so evil of you." I glared at my sister. "I'm just being clingy you idiot." Natalya laughed and pushed Irina's head to her breast.

"Hear that baby... she just want to be clingy." I wondered what does Irina whispering at her about. Whatever it is, it made her laughed. She never been that happy with Anton before. And he's her ex husband. "Oh I almost forgot. You heard about our next mission?" Varvara spoke out while feeding me.

"Don't move." She said and wiped my mouth. "We're up against Audra Private Academy." Irina seems to be happy about it for a change. "So it comes to this circumstances huh. Great. I will have my revenge." Varvara suddenly chuckling away. "What's up with you?" I asked as she feed me the last bite.

"Irina, do you know who lead Audra team?" She asked her older sister. Irina shrugged. "Probably some guy or girl, who I can easily defeat. Don't worry people, I'll finish the mission in 2 hours tops." Varvara pushed her soda to me and smiled. "Don't be cocky Irina. Not before you know your opponent."

Natalya stood up from her and went to the food counter. I took a sip of the soda. "Tell me what you know. Come on." Irina pushed her tray forward and smiled at her sister. "Spill it Varvara or your going to regret it." Varvara wiggling her finger and smiled. "You tell, I'll make you miserable. That's only when I use my power as the president."

She's right. Varvara can be evil if she wanted to be. "Be patient. Beside, you will know soon. Very soon." Varvara sound like she's planning something big. But somehow I know mama behind all of this. She must be. Beside Varvara, she's the most sadistic boss everyone know. "Varvara come on. Tell me! Who? I can't wait till the day after tomorrow."

Suddenly Natalya slammed her hands on the table. "I had a story to tell." Where does this came from all of the sudden. Somehow I think Varvara felt a little relieved about something. "I never tell anyone about this experience me and friends had encountered." She sat next to Irina while sipping her soda.

"What did you..." Natalya stopped Irina from talking. "Shut up baby." Irina scoffed. "Your lucky you have those pillows on your chest." Natalya literally shoved her head to the table. "Anyway... as I was saying, we planned to be in one of our family getaway house on the hills. It was a nice drive through the forest and natural lake. We should go there someday."

"Your point sister?" I sighed when she seriously ran from the sole purpose of her story.

"Oh yea. When we arrive at the villa, we were just having fun, being young, intercourse and all.." that gained Irina's attention. "Sex? With who?!" Natalya sighed. "With Anton. Anyway, when I was just standing by the window, looking at scenery, that's when my eyes caught on a moving vehicle. I was confused because as far as I know, that road lead to an old house and no one live at the house for the groundskeeper for years."

"Who is Anton?" Irina asked, completely ignored the story.

"Relax baby. Anyway, I asked Anton to investigate and make sure I'm not hallucinating. He too saw the vehicle. We both watched as it stopped and when the people inside the car walked out, we were shocked to see clowns. Not just any clown but that type of clown that could give you chill to the bone."

Natalya leaned in and gulping.

"We tried to look away but we made eye contact and that's when we knew, we're in trouble. We tell the others and then I just woke up from my sleep and continue my day like normal." My sister looked away and sipping her drink like nothing happen. So... she just... told us... her dream?!

"And she was just so serious about it..." Varvara felt the same way as me and the others. "April fools lovelies." Both Natalya and Irina laughed at us. These two.... such bad combo.

***

"Thank you for the walk. Also thank you for being there to help me carrying all the stuff that the Dean need." She gave me back my backpack she offered to bring. "No. Thank you." She smiled. I was half way walking up the stairs to my front door when I turned around to see her still smiling at me. "What is it?" She shake her head.

"I'm making sure you arrive safely. That's all." That's actually quite lovely thing she did. I never knew this side of her. "Hey, come on in. Have some drink or two." I offered. She shake her head. "Lovely offer but I know you're tired. But, we still have lunch tomorrow right?" I chuckled and nodded.

"Yes. And it will be my treat. Or even better, i will cook something and we can share it." She didn't say anything except smiling at me. "I'll like that. See you tomorrow Athena." I waved at her and walked inside. "You seem to be having fun." I nearly die when Natalya suddenly appeared in front of me without wearing anything to cover her goods.

"Why are you walking naked inside the mansion?" I asked while walking towards the living room. "I was at the gym. You know how I love to be naked while doing yoga." Oh. She's actually doing yoga?! That's new. But still, why naked. I sighed. "You do know we have a 15 years old little sister that probably be following your footstep."

She shrugged and sat on the couch. "Seriously Natalya, find something to put on." I went to sit on the other couch and turn on the television. "Hey. That's Zinovia." Natalya grabbed the remote from me and turn the volume up. So she's being interview about her concert huh. Nice publicity. She's living such a glamorous life.

"I have a message from mom and dad. For your final mission, they will be attending the final battle. Well if you manage to beat your next opponent. They hope for you to show them an exceptional fighting skill." In other words, more pressure? I nodded. "Are you serious with Varvara?"

I turned to face my sister when she suddenly asked me. "She's been really nice to me and knowing her like this makes me happy."

"So... that's a yes?" I am not sure myself. What is the real situation between me and Varvara? I probably need more time to get to know her. "Why do you like Irina? You're like 24 years old. Does she love older woman?" She seems trouble. "Well... she's a good listener. A great girlfriend. But for the part she loving older woman part, I'm not sure."

"But why doesn't she know about Anton? Don't you tell her about his abusive way after marrying you? Don't you think she should know about it?" She sighed. "I don't think she should know about Anton. He's dead to me." Why does she insist on not telling Irina about that man.

Yes he's been harassing her countless of times after the divorce that forced my parents to get a restraining order for him, but Irina have the right to know about her girlfriends past life. "Let's just keep Anton to ourselves. Okay?" She was begging. I hate to see her begging like this. "Okay. Got it. But promise me you must. It's for your own good."

She simply nodded and just squeezing her breast in front of me. "Hey feel this. Will this be enough to make her happy to have me?" She winked and I looked away. Wait a minute... is she... leaking? Is her breast leaking?! She laughed at my reaction.

"Are you pregnant Natalya?" She was surprised. "What? Nooo!!" She chuckled. "It does that after the miscarriage. I'm not pregnant. Geez. I don't even have a husband anymore. Only Irina and the last time I check she doesn't have the penis for it. But she does have amazing fingers." Okay... too much information.

Why do I have to have such annoying sister to begin with. "Oh I almost forgot. Is Zoya and Evara begin dating each other? I saw them both together today under the Sakura tree." Whoa! That's new. "What did they do?" She shrugged. "All I can see was they both talking and showing each other some books they borrowed from the library. What a boring date. Am I right?" Natalya laughed.

Wait.... A date? I thought they're just friends.

*THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW*

Like promise, Varvara pick me up and we both walked towards the administration office. Apparently I have to welcome some guest who visiting the academy for the day. "You look amazing." Varvara smiled. "Amazing? Varvara I use my school uniform." She still smiling. "Still amazing to my eyes." I chuckled. She's such a sweet talker.

"Who are we welcoming?" I asked when we arrived outside of the administration building. "A group of student and their teacher." Varvara winked. That's it? Why do I and the others need to be here? It's not necessary. "They're here." Varvara announced as two black limousine drive up the road towards us.

Natalya was fixing Irina's blazer while the other can't believe she's still half asleep. "I'm sure she won't be sleeping after this." Varvara seems to having fun with this. Mama walked in front of us and smiled wide when a woman walked out of the car to greet her. "Dasha! It's been so long." Mama hugged her back. "Yes. It is."

"Girls, meet Yelena..."

"MOTHER?!" Irina yelled out of the blue and the woman just smiled at her. She opened her arms for her to hug. This is the first time I saw Irina crying. She must miss her mother this much. Wait! I thought mama is her mother. "Her father remarried. Yelena is the person he remarried." Varvara whispered.

"I miss you. I'm sorry for leaving without telling. Father didn't let me to meet you." Yelena took the time to released her from her hug. "I miss you too little one. You've been a good girl right?" It was heart warming to see such scene between mother and..... whoa. I must be seeing things because I am positive I saw angels walking out of the limousines.

When the other limousine's door were opened, more beautiful and gorgeous ladies made themselves known. We are all shocked to see our special guest. Wait, if they know mama and Irina.... that's mean they're from AUDRA!

"I can't wait to see her reaction." Varvara chuckled beside me.

"You forgot about us, Irina?" A blonde woman with the busty chest said. I can see how Irina froze. Yelena released her and smiled. "I brought them here too." When Irina turned around, she let out a nervous laugh. "Oh... hey..." that's it?! No sexual harassment about her chest size?! That's new.

"That's it? No, miss you?" Irina shake her head. "I am hurt." She sighed. "Oh shut up Angelica. Just give it to me." Irina said while looking down. Suddenly the blonde woman who now I know is Angelica punched Irina's face so hard she actually fell on floor. "Now I'm satisfied." She fixed her uniform and place her hands on her waist.

"HOW DARE YOU LEAVE US JUST LIKE THAT WITHOUT ANY LETTER OR A SIMPLE TEXT?!" She yelled at Irina. "Who's that shlyukha on her knees for you?" Did she just call my sister a whore?! That's too much! Varvara stopped me from killing her. "I wouldn't do that. She brought the whole army. Irina can handle them. Trust me."

"She's not a whore you little bitch. She's my girlfriend." Angelica scoffed. "Oh that's your new girl?! I don't see her potential." Seriously she's getting on my nerve! Ugh! Just die you bitch! "But still. It's a great honour to be in two of the Vladimir siblings presence. Such an amazing day to meet the princess of the elite world."

I hope she just shut up for once.
