The new student wouldn't be joining anytime soon, however he was planning on doing so. Rumour had it that the new boy was from overseas, and that him and his family had just moved to Italy and were still settling down.The news had spread like wildfire, and everyone was excited for no reason. The girls excitement was to see if he was one of the hot ones to hook up, while guys on the other hand were excited to see which gang he would join, considering the rumours also mentioned him to be one of the high class."What do you think will he look like? Will he have red flaming hairs with green eyes?" Sam asked with a girlish giggle, while the others joined in."Or sandy blond wavy locks with ocean blue eyes!""Are you dreaming of Harry Styles?" Riley asked incredulously to Christi, who looked baffled. "Harry Styles doesn't have sandy blond hairs! Get it together!"While the girls bickered on, Sam turned her attention to Agatha, who was busy scrolling through her Instagram. "What do you th
“Soralina, the practise has been cancelled for today.” Lucian said with a monotone voice, stopping Soralina in her tracks. She looked up at the taller, her eye brows knitted together. “Why so?”“I’m not sure myself. The Commander had told to us to cancel todays training.”Soralina frowned, wondering what on earth was going on. Why had the Second in Command cancelled the training? On whose orders that too?“Who cancelled them again?” Came the voice of Agatha, who had been walking down the same pathway and had heard them talking.Before Lucian could answer, Romeo jogged up to them looking at Agatha. “It was cancelled by your father, Lord Gustav.”Soralina’s eyes went wide, while Agatha scoffed, shaking her head. “Has he finally lost it?”“Agatha-““I’m going to the gym to practise. I will be ready for school in due time.”So saying, Agatha briskly walked forward while the others stared at her in shock, Soralina horrified. It was clear; she was having flashbacks of the incident that had
"Well hello there little sister. I thought you would never recognise me."So it actually is Xander.Wow.Agatha straightened up, her mouth open and her chin raised up as she eyes Xander with that curious yet dangerous look she had."So it really is you.""Yes.""What made you remember?"Xander whined, part of him already expecting this. "Oh come on! Don't be like that! I came as fast as I could.""Sure. Four years is fast enough." Agatha replied sarcastically, walking past the man and towards the family kitchen to get some water.All the while, Xander followed behind her. "Alright. Fine. I'm sorry. I'm sorry it took me so long.""Don't bother. No one missed you. Like literally."Before Xander could say anything to that, fast footsteps echoed behind him, before he was engulfed by a pink force."Alex!""Wow wow, Soralina easy! Let me take a look at your face!""I missed you sooo much!"Xander turned to Agatha with a raised eyebrow, while all she did was roll her eyes, turning away."So
Agatha did not go home that night. She did not even come home for dinner. For she had spent the rest of her day in a club. It felt good. She was finally able to release all her stress. While the club was one of her father's many clubs that he owned, Agatha, unlike usual, blended in with the people instead of taking the VIP. They let her in since she wasn't exactly under age, but also because she was the owner’s daughter. She had planned to get completely wasted, get drunk, get fucked, and then wake up passed out in someone's home. No wait. She couldn't get drunk. Not after last time. Oh well, who cares anyway? This had been Agatha's initial plan, but halfway through it, it had all gone down the drain. Agatha stormed back inside the house, that suffocating feeling returning, giving her a strong urge to kill someone. I should have just done that. Killed some random person. That would be more satisfying than drinking. Yeah, I should have done that. Fuck my life. Wait, there's st
Xander slumped back on the fluffy white armchair, his head rolling backwards as he stared up at the pink and golden ornate ceiling of Soralina’s bedroom. “Wow…a lot has…happened.”“Yup. Told you so.” Soralina agreed, sipping from her light pink mug across from Xander, her eyes trained on the table. “You did miss out on a lot brother.”“I certainly did.” Xander agreed, shutting his eyes before he let out a frustrated sigh, running his fingers through his hairs.Soralina glanced at him, noticing how this whole Agatha issue was stressing him out, when he had actually returned home after so long to spend some quality time with them.Pressing her lips into a thin line, Soralina placed the mug back on the table, staring at Xander with soft eyes. “It’s not your fault Xander.”“Yes it is.”“No it’s not.”“Yes.”“No.”“We could go on like that forever sister, but you and I both know the answer to that.” Xander replied gruffly, making Soralina shoot up in fury. “Stop pitying yourself now! What
"I have to go now." Xander said, getting to his feet and grabbing his jacket while Soralina looked up at him. "But you said you would play Uno with me!"Xander looked at her apologetically, slowly making his way to the door. "I know little sis, I know. It's just really important. I have to go to her."At this Soralina's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Her?"As if he had not even expected it himself, Xander's eyes went wide as he realized his slip of tongue. "I uh...I""Xander, am I missing something?""No it's just...It's...uh...""Are you seeing someone?""Yes. No! I mean no I-I mean yeah but no I-"Slowly but surely, Soralina's face broke into a smile, excitement radiating off of her. "Alexander Russo, are you blushing right now?"Xander gave up defending himself, putting on a resting bitch face. "Shut up."Soralina laughed out loud, clapping her thighs to hold on her laughter while Xander sighed in frustration."God I'm so happy for you! Why wouldn't you tell anyone? Why
She wasn't ready. Nope, she wasn't.Not for the surprise attack Agatha had in store for her. She was anything but ready."A-Agatha maybe we should- slow-slow down?""Why? You tired already?" Agatha snapped, making the latter almost curse under her breath. "N-no I just...I don't think we should jump right into a battle before learning.""Oh really?""Yes. Gah!"Soralina yelped, falling butt first to the floor while her wooden sword broke into two halves, falling a few feet away from her. Before she can even catch her breath, Agatha has her own wooden sword pointed at her face. "You have been learning the same basics for years now. Isn't that enough?"Soralina gulped, but she understood Agatha's point. Everyone had always gone easy on her because she kept saying she still needed to learn the basics. But she never finished her lesson, so every time she sparred, basics was all she did. She never really battled in one like Agatha, using the excuse of still 'learning the basics.'However, m
Xander had not returned home after that. Not even the next day, or the day after that.Or for the other day as well.And no one seems to care. Except Soralina.While the three Russo’s sat down for breakfast in the fifth morning, Soralina poked her food, looking from Agatha to Gustav as if waiting for them to say something.Then she glanced at Romeo who stood behind Agatha, then at Gustav’s guard whose name she didn’t remember, and then right behind her at Lucian, who raised a questioning eyebrow.“Soralina, why aren’t you eating?” Gustav’s voice had the girl almost jumping out of her skin as she stared at him with wide eyes, while the man continued to chew on his food, not even bothering to look at her as if he hadn’t just said something.“Y-Yes?”“I asked, why aren’t you eating?”Soralina looked down at her food, at the untouched plate, before picking up her fork that she had dropped and stabbing into one of the peas and stuffing it into her mouth.Then she did another round of glanc
Agatha stares at the sleeping figure of Theo on the bed, no real emotions crossing her face. Unlike the hospital room that she received when she came in the Scorpio Venom Society, all plain white, Theo’s is different. There’s a whole forest painted in the walls with baby elephant’s and giraffes and monkeys and every other forest animal, smiling and playing within themselves. Her bed is just the same, and so is her nightgown. And as Agatha sits there staring at her daughter, she feels like she is staring at a younger version of herself. You look so much like me, and yet, when you open your eyes, you look like that damned man. Like your father. Thinking to herself, she doesn’t even realize when her hand moves to her neck as she grabs the anklet, playing with it in between her fingers. And just as she does that, she remembers a certain someone, feeling like it was only yesterday that she met him and kissed him in his soft lips as he held her in his arms and comforted her. Pulling the a
Silence prevailed all over the room as Agatha finished her story, stalking around the room and looking at all of Louise’s belongings with a blank face. but just because she is blank does not mean the others are, especially not Soralina.“After that, Lucian and I stayed in the America, watching your every moves, making sure you were always protected and out of trouble. Lucian made sure to check on you while I…I looked after my daughter.” Agatha concludes, stopping right in front of Louise’s desk as she notices something she hasn’t seen for six years, something that was stolen from her by Louise.Soralina stares down at her legs while Theo makes her way to her, clutching Soralina’s hand. “So…Xavier is…alive?”Agatha turns to look at her sister, slowly nodding her head as she takes the anklet in her hands, the one Louise stole from her when he drugged her. “He is very much alive. In fact, he is even listening to us right now.”Louise head whips towards Agatha, making her point her ears.
Xavier...is alive?How...How is this possible?Xavier was dead. He died as a baby. He..."No." Agatha breathed out, shaking her head continuously. "You are not Xavier. Xavier is dead. He died at infancy even before I was born. Don’t you fucking lie to me!"The anger and hatred in Agatha's voice had Xavier tilting his head sideways in amusement. "And who told you that little sister?"Silence."Gustav?"Yeah. But I won't tell you that.Xavier chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "Since when did you believe anything Gustav ever said? So far, everything he told you turned out to be a lie. What made you still believe in it?""I...I..." Agatha stammered, wanting to doubt Xavier’s words and tell him he was trying to manipulate her but she didn’t. Because deep down she knew he was right. Gustav lied about everything; he could have lied about this too."No he didn't. This was the only time he was actually honest with you."What?Agatha's head whipped to the man with a glare set in her face,
Flashback:Agatha lied there with her back pressed to the rock hard earth, her heart beat slowly disappearing but her pulse remained. She drifted from in and out of consciousness, not knowing how long she was there and when death would come to her and take her away already.She knew Soralina had been there and was already gone, hopefully to take care of Theo. But what she didn’t understand was, why she was still alive.Just as she believed she was taking her final breath with her beating finally ceasing, she heard the muffled voices of men from a distance, or more like they were bear her, she just couldn't sense dye to her body shutting down."She's here. Boss! We found her! She's here. You don't have to come up." Someone was whisper yelling like as if scared to be heard.Agatha's head moved to the side, wanting to know what was going on around her until the face of a man zoomed in on her, eye brows knitted together in worry."Is she even alive?" Another said, joining his companion. T
Soralina stares at her sister, her eyes turning wide with shock and horror at the sight of the girl she thought was dead for the last five years. Her lips remain parted in surprise, voice giving up on her while Agatha finally turns her attention away from Louise, before they feel on Soralina. Green eyes colliding with blue.So…you are the greed eyed hooded figure? The two of you?You were the ones saving me this whole time? Watching over me?Slowly but surely, Agatha’s lips morph into a smile as she walks towards the girl, looking down at her. “Hello sister.”“A-A-Agatha?” Soralina whispers, her hands rising up as she gently touches her sister’s cheeks as if checking to see whether she is real or not. Agatha smiles sincerely, her own eyes getting glassy as she holds onto Soralina’s hands letting it reach her cheeks. “Yes, me.”Soralina huffs, disbelief never leaving her as the first of her tears start to drop, making Agatha tear up as well. “It’s…you?”“No one else but your twin, Lina
USA, 2022,Shock and horror registers in Louise's face as his jaw drops down, his eyes staring at anything but Soralina and the little girl beside him.He staggers backwards, his breathing getting laboured as he takes in Soralina's story. "No. No you are lying. This is not possible. Agatha and I never...We never...""Never what Louise?" Soralina asks in a deadbeat voice, already done wiping her tears after remincing her past life. "Never made love to Agatha?""I...""Of course you didn't. You don't do things nicely." Soralina replies with bitterness in her voice as her eyes get darker. "What you did, was rape her."Louise's head shoots up in light speed, finally understanding what Soralina means. He remembers that time, the time he drugged Agatha and made love to her. He remembers it because that was the only time he ever got to do it, and it remained memorable.But what he didn't know, is that she was pregnant after that."Of course you didn't know it. Because Agatha isn't crazy to t
Present day:Words failed Soralina as she sat there with Agatha's limp body in her arms, feeling numb all over. It has been only thirty seconds since Agatha passed away, but to Soralina it feels like decades, centuries, as she feels the bond between then being severed, detached, removed.Above her she can hear the echoes of the battle which is soon coming to an end, with one side only alive now to be the victor. And a part of her already knows who it is.Slowly but surely, Soralina gently places Agatha's head down in the hard rock floor, brushing her stray hairs from her face as she sucks in a deep breath, willing herself to move and not start crying again."Goodbye, my other half." Soralina said, feeling her usual excited heart beating now being just a mere thudding in the chest, just like every normal human being. Because the one that held that excitement in her heart, is now gone.Not wasting another second, Soralina tears her eyes from her sister and stands up, knowing another sec
“Here, drink this.” Sister Aria said as she offered Agatha a bottled mango juice, making the girl smile at her. “Thank you. Where is Sister Nina?”“She is getting your reports checked.” Sister Aria replied, taking a seat beside the girl in the waiting room while Agatha nodded. This made Sister Aria turn towards her, tilting her head to get a better look. “You did a great job Agatha. I’m so proud of you.”A tight lipped smile appears in Agatha’s lips as she touches her belly, listening to the soft heartbeat of her daughter. Sucking in a deep breath, she said. “Do you think I can do it? be a mother?”Sister Aria smiled at her sincerely, rubbing the girls back. “Aww my dear, of course you can. What makes you doubt so?”“I have never even spared a glance towards a baby, let alone take care of one.” Agatha replied earnestly before turning to stare at her palms as she said softly. “I kill people Sister Aria. I don’t protect.”The young girls words broke the lady’s heart, wishing to somehow
Three Months Later:With angry steps, Agatha stormed inside Sister Aria’s room, finding the lady with a bunch of more nuns including Sister Nina. One look at her glaring face and the nuns stood up once by one, getting out of the room safe for Sister Nina and Aria.Agatha stormed forward and without waiting to beat around the bush, she got to the point. “When are we going?”“Going where Alexandra darling?” Sister Aria asked, although she had a clear idea of what Agatha was talking about. And judging by the fuming glare in her eyes, she knew Sister Aria knew too. “Don’t play dumb. You know what.”“I’m afraid I don’t.” Sister Aria finally looked up at Agatha with a smile plastered on her face and this only made the young girl even more angry. “Fine! When are we going to the hospital to abort this thing!?”The smile left Sister Aria’s face but Agatha didn’t care the least. “That, is not a thing. It is your child, and you are its mother. Just because we call it an ‘it’, doesn’t make it a t
