Chapter 9
I couldn't believe it, my sister of all people, decides to show up in front of my door step. "Is there something the matter master?" Athena asked as she comes up behind me. I told her that it's nothing and invited my sister in so it wouldn't attract any unnecessary attention. I guided her to the living room and sat her down on one of the couches. My sister has blond hair and she likes to wear dresses whether we're going out to some place or inside our own home. She can be quite care-free but also quite smart when it comes to medicine and other medical stuff. She could've been quite a successful doctor if she tried, but for some unknown reason, she didn't. I looked over to Athena and decided to introduce my sister to her, "This is my sister Mia, Mia Von Hausen."
Athena stood up and extended her hand and so Mia smiled and shook her hand. "You must be my Little Lexy's servant?" Mia says as she was still shaking hands with Athena. My servant was quite surprised at the fact that my sister knew about it. She questioned Mia, "Little Lexy?" "Yes, that is my nickname that I received from Mia when we were younger. So now she calls me that even today," I replied with a bit of embarrassment. Athena nodded to Mia in reply to her last question about her being my servant. As they continue to greet each other, I looked at the clock to check what time it is. It's still quite early in the morning, so I decided to head into the kitchen to make some breakfast for both Athena and I. Then I thought that maybe Mia hasn't had anything to eat since she arrived and maybe nothing when she was coming here. I shouted out from the kitchen, "Mia! Would you like to have breakfast with us?" I waited for an answer as I wash the pan and turn on the stove. There was no reply back, so I decided to make her favorite waffles for breakfast. As I begin to make our food, I hear footsteps up above me, so I realize that they're upstairs. I was wondering what they are doing up there, but I let it be since it's probably girl related.
Just when I was about to crack open a couple of eggs, everything went completely pitch black; nothing but darkness here and there. Then I heard a voice, "… your… desire." I couldn't make out what it's trying to say to me, except those very two faint words. "… your… desire," there it is again, only a bit more louder this time. I tried to call out to the voice, but I can't do that at all. No matter how hard I try to talk, my voice just refuses to come out.
As I slowly open up my eyes, I see both Mia and Athena looking at me with worried looks. I slowly got up and Mia asked me, "How are you feeling?" I looked at her and then looked down, trying to remember what happened. I see Athena standing by the window still looking worried about me, no doubt it's because I collapsed in the kitchen. It was the first time in my life that his has happened to me, could it be that I overworked my body? I don't think so, I would know if I did or not. Then what was the real reason why I collapsed? I put aside the question for another time. I took out my phone to check the time; it's about 2:17 pm. It seems I was unconscious for a few hours at most. "I see that you're now awake," a familiar voice came out of nowhere. A figure came into the bedroom and another figure was right behind it.
It was Maya and her servant, Archer. I'm surprise she was here with her servant. But I was more surprise that the fact that she actually knew where I live, since I never gave her my address. "Maya, Archer!" I said, "What are you doing here?" She looks at me for a moment and then says, "I wanted to talk with you and Lancer about a strategic plan Victoria and I came up with for our first battle." From the way she said it, it was like she knows that a battle is coming towards us, and fast. I looked at my sister and all she did was smile as me. That was enough for me to know that she'll let me go. I got out of bed and went with Maya; Athena followed right behind me. We headed to the living room to talk about this plan that they came up with. I went to the kitchen to prepare some tea for them while they sat down and made themselves comfortable. Archer picked up one of the vases I had, "Pretty nice vase you got here," Archer says. As he turns the vase around, it slipped out of his hands and smashed on the floor. "Oops," Archer says. The pieces were scattered all over the floor. I just let out a sigh and told them I'll take care of it.
I finished preparing the tea and brought it into the living room. I walked over to the table and placed it down on the table. As I handed a cup of tea to Maya, our hands touched. When it did, I heard a voice telling me, "… soon," then Maya quickly took the cup of tea from me while blushing and took a sip. I looked around and tried to keep it quiet to listen to see if I can hear it again. Not at all, what was that and why am I the only one hearing this? The answer is unclear to me still, but I hope that I will find out soon enough. This has been the strangest day ever, hopefully tomorrow is different, and maybe I'll see Willy around at school.
