Athena tries hard to not to freak out as the nurse approaches her with an injection. She just desperately wants to get out of there but she is stuck in this hospital room. Sneaking out with the risk of Vincenzo standing at the door outside with the doctor isn't a bit easy.
After her tests, she is given some apple juice and the kind nurse turns the tv screen on. Athena stares at the screen with mild interest in her eyes just to keep the act. An complete hour goes by. The nurse is scribbling notes on her notepad and sometimes watching the tv. As the nurse leaves the room telling her that she will be right back, Athena just know that this is the right time. She jumps down from bed and slowly opens the door.
She peeks out and surprisingly Ariana's brother and doctor are nowhere to be seen. Seeing this is her only chance, she runs out. She only manages to make out of that floor by using the stairs. She is about to pass the elevator section when suddenly one of the elevator slid opens and there he is. Vincenzo!
Athena's eyes widens in horror and Vincenzo looks at her with a small tilt of his head. She squeals in fear as he takes a step in her direction and runs in the opposite direction. She push past the confused looking doctors and nurses and finally manages to make it to the exit. As she slid the door handle to open, her feet pauses. There are the guards standing outside and blocking the only exit.
"Good thing that you are already here, Ariana! I was about to get you so we can go home." There is a small hint of sarcasm in Vincenzo's words. He stand beside her trembling form.
"Get in the car now." Sulking a bit she bows her head and makes her way to the car that was waiting for her at the entrance. She sits in the same seat and he enters in the driver seat.

Just as they reach back at the mansion, Athena wastes no time to jump out. The atmosphere in the car was overwhelming. Vincenzo is just so quiet and too scary quiet.
"Tell our brothers to meet me in my study." He tells her. He presses his phone to his ear and leans back on the car watching as she nervously scurries inside.
Vincenzo speaks to someone and hangs up the call and picks up her medical reports. He settles her DNA report on top of others and make his way inside.
Athena obediently makes her way into the kitchen and surprisingly find Luciano there. He is drinking coffee and working on his laptop. He looks up at her and smiles a little. He still doesn't know if the girl standing in front of him is actually his little sister or not. But deep down he hopes that she is Ariana. The girl always just seems so confused and scared. It do something to him. He feels the need to get protective over her.
"Umm-" She looks at him. Her lack of speech makes Luciano feels a little too much concern.
"What happened?" He asks her.
"V-vincenzo." She points upstairs with her fingers. Luciano furrows his brows.
"Vincenzo what?" Luciano understands that she is referring to his office. Obviously his older brother must be calling them upstairs. But he wants to hear it from her mouth.
"S-study." She whispered. She struggles with the words. This matter is concerning. Luciano nods his head with a small smile. Athena sighs a little thanking the god that Luciano understood.
"Go call others too then. He must of told you right?" He says. Athena nods her head a little. She isn't anywhere to be near enthusiastic about it. She slumps her shoulders a little before moving upstairs to find them. Other thing that scares her is getting lost in this mansion. She marks her trail by remembering the turns and pretty eye catching decoratives she passes on her way.
Soon she finds herself in front of Romeo's room that is near Ariana's room. But as she is about to open the door it opens itself. Romeo is a little surprise to see her there.

"V-vincenzo calling in s-study." She unconsciously slightly rocks on her toes. Romeo murmurs a quiet ok and brushes past her. Athena feels a little hurt when he does so.
She feels a little relieved when Vittorio suddenly comes in the hallway. Upon seeing that he is going towards the elevator section, she squeals a little and uses her small legs fast to catch up with him.
Vittorio pauses in his steps as his phone rings. He picks it up and exchanges few words on it. Athena stands behind him and wait patiently so he can finish the call first. Still talking, Vittorio turns to look at her with a raised brow. It is almost like he sniffed her presence.
Athena gulps and whispers the exact words to him and without another word runs out of there. Now only Alexander is left. But she has no idea where must he be. She tries to search him around in the hallway near Romeo's room. Her ears picks up some weird noises. She follows it source and comes near a room. The door is slightly ajar open. She doesn't peek in but presses her ear against it to listen better.
"Ahhh please Daddy. You are killing meee" A voice cries loudly. Athena gasps loudly and backs away in fear. Suddenly the voices freezes completely and the door abruptly opens. Athena looks up with wide eyes. There stands her brother Alexander and he looks furious. He is only wearing his dress pants and his coat without any shirt underneath. His bare tattoo covered chest made him look more scary. Athena immediately brings her gaze down thinking this just true her suspicion. They are the bad guys who kills and cut human's body.
"I HAVE TOLD YOU FUCKING THOUSAND TIMES ARIANA TO NOT TO BEING A NOSEY BITCH!" Alexander yells at her. Athena feels her lips quiver badly and immediately there are big fat tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Why are you fucking crying now?" He asks her sounding irritated.
"Oh right. You are not even her. She never cries." He murmurs under his breath. Athena isn't able to listen to him.
"Would you fucking please tell me why are you here?" He asks her.
"V-v-v-vincenzo c-c-calling i-in s-s-study." She tries hard to keep her sobs in.
"Umm Alexander!" A voice speaks from behind him. Athena looks up and see a tall girl standing beside Alexander in her big high heels. Her appearsnce is a little off and her hair is messed up and all over.
"OMFG! YOU ARE BACK!" The girl let out a loud shrill that makes Athena flinch and even Alexander winces a little.
"You don't even know how much our group is missing you, Aria---"
"Get the fuck out of here Grace!" Alexander snaps at her cutting her off.
"Bu--" Alexander glares at her. She frowns a little but stomps back in the room and comes back moments later with her expensive designer bag.
"Bye Ariana! I'll see you soon." She tries to kiss Alexander's lips who just stops her by his hand but then she kisses Athena's cheek who flinches in surprise a little but Grace doesn't seem to notice it.
Athena frowns and rubs her cheek feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"You too! Get out of my sight." Athena fearfully nods her head and scurries out of his sight and back in Ariana's room.
Athena is glad that Grace is perfectly alright and she has her body parts on but she just couldn't understand one thing how Grace could be Alexander's daughter. Alexander looks a little older than her age but not enough to be her father.
"So what does the report says? I am so ready to kick that doppelganger out of here." Vittorio asks sounding too much impatient. Vincenzo looks at his brothers. They all are looking emotionless and impatient but there is a slight hint of anxiousness in their eyes.
"The DNA matched--" He starts to speak. His brothers looks surprised, shocked and relieved.
"--But she is not Ariana!" Vincenzo finishes bringing an pause of unsettling silence.

participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.

The Blood Queen
The rain fell from the sky with ferocity and smashed into the pavement filling the air with the sound of a stampede. The noise was deafening as I struggled to stand up. The blood from my wound was covering the ground beneath me and I covered it with my hand as I pushed off the pavement. On my feet now I struggled to step towards the grass. Through the howling wind and pounding raindrops I could hear what sounded like a chant, calling me and drawing me towards the cliffs edge. "Vienna, my Queen, my blood Queen" I started to move my feet faster until I could run towards the edge. Only when I was at the edge did I turn and look back one last time at the castle behind me. I could see him standing on the balcony, he was screaming my name. I could just hear it over the rain. I unclipped my red cape and whispered goodbye to him. As he jumped off the balcony to run towards me I leaned backwards and let my body fall with the rushing water to the river far down below. I carried her whispers with me to the dark edge until they vanished.
