"No, I won't allow it!"
Dad rose from his seat and walked towards me. Sir Lev stood in front of me, his amazing grey platinum hair tracing his movement.
"My lord she has heard the awaken call!" Sir Lev handed over the papers to the duke.
"You will understand after reading this." Dad stared at him. Hesitating. He sighed. He went to take his specs from the table and looked into the contents of the papers.
What is happening?
Where is that brat?
'I am here, just, I am not revealing myself'
Sigh well...
Do you know what Lev is talking about ?
'That's about you coming under the church'. Hey I didn't get a thing clearly, explain it to me properly.
'He wants you to join the church and become the 10th servant of god.'
What? 10th? So you mean there are nine of them already? But wait he said I got something like awaken call, what does that mean?
'That might be the things you wrote.' But that I wrote from the book though!!
Dad, after reading the papers looked at me removing his specs.
"Even if she wrote this I won't allow her to go anywhere."
"My Lord, why are you doing this again? She is so gifted that she could write something that only the head of the duke family, priest and the royal members knows"
What's with the sudden praise?
Did he say royal members?!
And why did he say ?
"Still it's a . She is the next head of Dukedom. She will be having a ball before Lord Helia's reappearance. At that time I will announce my next successor." then he went to his seat, resuming his paperwork.
"!"
Sir Lev shouted I have never seen him like that.

"" Lev panted out of frustration, he brushed his bangs revealing that insane angel-like golden eyes.
His clutched fist was almost pale.
suddenly a pen flew towards him cutting his long side bangs at the end, I nearly escaping it.
"" Dad intensely stared at him, then returned his gaze to the table.
Lev inhaled heavily and looked at me. Exhaling he said, "Let's continue" and left the office. I looked back, only to find dad working on his papers.
I bowed to him and silently left the office.
What did just happen?
Why did Lev say ? She?
Who is it?
Why is dad so against Lev?
'Don't worry master I will help you with these questions' Sure.
I chuckled looking at air not knowing where he is.
The train of thoughts were blurred out when I saw a guy with brown hair similar to Emma, "Andrew-?"
He turned back, he ran to me and hugged me!
What?
"Hey- I can't- breath- you-!!"
"I am happy I could finally find you crazy kpop maniac"
Huh?! How does he know that? I broke the suffocating hug.
"How do you know that?" He held my arms,
"It's me! Sh-"
THWACK
"How dare you hug her lady, brat!!" A clean headshot delivered by an amazing person, none other than his sister 'Emma' .
Before finishing what he was saying, he fell on me. I quickly placed my fingers near his nostrils.
Sigh, he is alive.
Emma pulled him over to her and walked to the guest room carrying him. She laid him on the bed and went out.
I sat on the chair and looked at him. What was he going to say?
How does he know kpop?
Emma returned with some chillies in her hands. "Emma, what are you going do with that?" she winked and cut the tip of the chilly and placed that near Andrew's mouth.

He woke up gasping and panting, "Emma, I told you to stop doing these stuffs, why can't you be normal!!"
Wow it's my first time seeing a person getting woken up by chillies.
Emma went to Andrew and pinched his ears, "Are you out of your mind?!" Andrew was yelling cause of the pain.
"I am sorry, won't do it again. Damn!" She withdrew her hand.
"I want to talk to Catherine", Andrew said looking serious. Emma gave another smack on his head.
"Respect! Respect Andrew, sigh."
"Yea." massaging his head. "It's okay Emma." I said pulling Emma to my side.
If I let them be together then it will be catastrophe.
"Sis give us some space will you?" Oh my does he have a knack to piss her every time he says something?
The atmosphere is not good, I should separate them.
"Emma let me talk to him." She looked at me with puppy eyes.
"If that's what you want..." She bowed and before leaving she glared at Andrew as if she would just slash his head off.
As the door closed, Andrew hugged me again. Umm this is awkward.
"Atlast I found you Cathy."
"After the concert I looked for you everywhere." What? I pulled out from the hug.
"What do you mean by concert? Wait do you even know what concert is?" sigh.
"Cathy, I am Shon." I looked at him.
"What?"

Death’s Dancer is the most powerful supervillain in the world. Or at least she will be soon. As the newest graduate of the world’s only academy for supervillains, she has one month to prove her skills by terrorizing the city of Toronto and defeating its resident superhero, Fireball. Should she fail, the powerful organization that paid for her schooling will make sure she remains ordinary, powerless Delphi Dunn forever. But Delphi is well-armed with a kickass evil ballerina costume, the ability to mentally alter inanimate objects, and a love of the spotlight. It won’t be long before the city is trembling at her feet. Death’s Dancer’s first day on the job starts with a bank robbery and a narrow escape from Fireball, and it isn’t long before she’s hijacking television broadcasts and blowing up buildings. But when Death’s Dancer’s crimes turn deadly, Delphi finds herself caught between her two identities. With time running out and Fireball hot on her tail, Delphi must decide if she has what it takes to be a supervillain. Hers is not the only deadly secret in the city however, and the choice might already be out of her hands.
