The children were 8 yrs. old now, and were busy attending school. The house was empty because Kraven was off to the store with his brothers and mother, leaving Rival and her servants alone in the house.
*Rival's p.o.v *
The mansion was completely quiet. Too quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear a pen drop. I sat on my throne in the big room that served as the king and queen's room. Only servants were allowed in, and if I did not summon or ask for any guests, they would be roughly thrown out.
Today was the day of the royal ceremony, and emissaries from a neighboring planet nearby wanted to come visit me and discuss business matters. Oh, how I hate business matters. The children would be home in an hour, and my husband had just gone out a minute ago with my mother- and brother-in-laws. The sound of the door opening brought my attention upwards. "Excuse me, your highness, but the Queen of Planet Arena is here. Do you want me to bring them here?" The servant asked.
"Yes. Please bring them here, and make sure the house is presentable," I replied back wearily.
"Yes, your highness. Right away." The servant replied back, closing the door behind him. I sighed. (I really didn't want to be bothered today,) I thought to myself.
Meanwhile
*At Precious Hearts Elementary School*
Kenny waited for his sisters to come from the library since he had finished class a while back. Kenny didn't care much for school. It was boring, and he didn't have many friends. No friends at all, actually.
He played with his sisters, but he didn't think they counted as friends because they were family. The door to the library flew open, and a crowd of happy and boisterous children ran out. Kenny noticed his sisters were talking to their friends and decided to go sit on the bench nearby. A few minutes later, the lunch bell rang.
The children flooded into the cafeteria. The lunch lady bit her lip, seeing the children push, shove, and cut in line for food.(Ugh. Stupid kids. I hate 'em at this age. Retirement, here I come,) The old woman thought to herself. The line slowly moved forward, and Kenny received his food. He was hungry, but not hungry for mystery meat. It was supposed to be a Sloppy Joe, but the meat was sticky looking and grayish. He was definitely not going to eat this.
After leaving the lunch line, Kenny looked for a table to sit at. The kids nearby saw him coming, and they quickly placed their things down so he couldn't sit there. All the tables were starting to feel up and Kenny couldn't find his sisters. He decided to just sit outside by himself. Throwing his lunch out, he sat down and drew in the dirt with a stick. A group of bullies approached him.
"Hey, loser. Why are you playing in the dirt?" The biggest bully asked, laughing as he pushed the younger boy off the bench.
This was the third time they picked on Kenny, and it was just because he was smaller than them.
Punching and kicking, the older kids continued to beat poor Kenny up.
Meanwhile
Sensing their brother was in danger, Momo and Kylie walked outside to confront the bullies, and they weren't going to be peaceful about it, either. "Hey! Leave him alone!" The twins yelled.
The older kids turned around to mock them. "Why? What are you going to do about it?" The head bully asked. His goon friends laughed.
Seeing Kenny cry on the ground, Momo narrowed her eyes. ''If you keep messing with him, I'll break your leg," she threatened.
The bully just snorted. "Yeah, right. As if a puny purple girl can hurt me! I…" Before he could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his leg.
Taking her invisible arm, Momo twisted the human's leg, popping it out of its socket. "Witch! She's a witch!" The other boys yelled, running for their lives.
Kylie was not having it. She used her limbs to tie their shoe laces, causing them to fall smack on their face, chipping the boys' teeth. The older kids started to cry, but the alien twins could care less. Helping their brother up, Kylie noticed they had smashed Kenny's glasses. She wanted to kill those humans, but she knew she'd be in big trouble if she did. Helping Kenny up, the girls were than confronted by the principal. "You are in serious trouble," the principal said as he gently grabbed the girls' hands to take them to the principal's office. He took Kenny to the nurse's office, first.
*Meanwhile, back at the house, Rival's p.o.v.*
I was almost ready to talk to the Arenan Queen when the phone began ringing. Reluctantly, I answered it. "Yes? Who is it?" She asked.
"Mrs. Kravenoff?" The person on the other side of the phone asked.
"This is," Rival replied.
"Your daughters Momo and Kylie were involved in an altercation with several other students, causing them physical harm," the person replied.
"I'll be over in just a bit," Rival said, exasperated. She called a servant in. "Tell the Arenan Queen I will be late," she said as she got ready to leave.
"Yes, milady," the servant replied.
Rival walked outside to the garage. She got in the car, and drove off to the school. "Of all the things that had to happen today…" She muttered.
To be continued…
