A Whole New World
Chapter 11
Waking Up Helena
The Next Morning
Lissa woke up to the sound of a soft high-pitched whistle, one she knew well. It was Alex, the earliest riser of them all. Lissa blinked the sleep out of her eyes and sat up looking at Alex who smiled and waved. Lissa smiled back and then looked at the curled up form beneath the covers. She poked it, receiving a loud snore from 'the lump'. "Helena." She said in a normal voice and moved, stupidly, to the foot of the bed. Alex attempted to warn her but wound up getting her words jumbled in a yawn and before Lissa could ask Helena lashed out and kicked Lissa's knees sending her flying backwards promptly landing on the floor.
"I tried to warn you." Alex said as she held a hand out to her sister.
"Is that what you were trying to tell me when you yawned?" Lissa said taking Alex's hand, rocking back on her heels and then forward onto her toes and springing up landing with her knees slightly bent and a grin on her face.
"Shall we go see what Fluffy-sama is up to?" Alex asked placing a hand on the doorknob.
"Hai, Hai!" Lissa replied searching her pockets for a hair tie (A/N: A hair tie is just Lissa's way of saying hair band or ponytail ring.) since she couldn't find one she walked over to Helena picked up her wrist and took the hair tie from there and used it to put her own hair up in a half bun letting her curls cascade over her shoulders and down her back.
"Eeee!! Curls!!" Alex squealed, opening the door before stepping behind Lissa and pulling the curls so they bounced when she let go. Lissa sighed and started walking down the stairs before she had an idea and turned and half ran back up the stairs grabbed onto the banister and hopped up onto it then she slid down grinning and laughing as Alex stood there with a look of pure little kidish happiness on her face. Speaking extremely quickly she said "Dude! Awesome! Iwanttoslidedowntooo!!" (A/N: translation any one? No? I'll do it then, Dude! Awesome! I want to slide tooo!!) Alex then copied Lissa and slid down the banister laughing and making silly faces till she landed on her feet next to Lissa.
They both saw Luther eating breakfast and not knowing what to say to him they stood there talking for a few minutes until Luther said, "Where's the third?" they simply stared at him at first because this was the first time he had said anything to them since last night.
"What?" Alex asked rather un-ceremoniously.
"There's usually three of you. Right now there's only two. Where's the third?" Luther asked not even looking up. Alex, deciding to mess around just a little, replied,
"Well I am the youngest so technically I am the third." This received a minor smack to the back of her head from Lissa who was used to Helena doing something like this.
"Helena is upstairs." Lissa said rolling her eyes at Alex's joke.
"Ah. Is she up?" He said standing up and looking down at Lissa. Alex gave a very un-lady like snort and his attention turned to her.
"No. 'course she ain't. Think we would be here if she was?" Alex said raising her eyebrows at Luther.
"Why wouldn't you be? And why is she not awake? Its almost 10:00 she ought to be awake by now. " He asked as he started walking towards the stairs.
"That's early for her, she wakes up around noon normally." Alex said shaking her head. "This one time there was a sleep over at my house, and it was about what time it is now. Lissa and I had been awake for a few hours already and we were BORED; so we decide 'oh lets go wake up Helena!' and I had a bunk bed with an extra bed underneath my bed, the bottom bunk, and Helena was on the top bunk so we climb up there shake her a few times nothing happens, we take away all her blankets, nothing. WE tickle her and she FINALLY wakes up but she thrashed around a lot her fists swinging wildly around, Lissa was able to dodge but I wasn't so lucky. She gave me, poor little, innocent ol' me, a BLACK EYE."
"Oh, c'mon, she can't be THAT bad. There are thousands of people who are sour when they first wake up." Luther said not believing Alex's story.
"Now where, pray tell, are you going off to?" Lissa asked as he started up the steps.
"To wake up Helena. Obviously." He replied as he continued to ascend the stairs.
"You don't want to do that." Alex said as she and Lissa hurried up the stairs after him.
"Why not?" he said, not stopping, not even turning to look at them.
"I just told you why!!" Alex said loudly. They had now reached the top of the stairs and he was opening their bedroom door.
"This cannot end well!!" Lissa thought while turning her camera, which had been hanging around her wrist, on as she followed Alex and Luther in to the room. Luther walked over to the bed and shook Helena's shoulder.
"Helena, wake up." He said and when she didn't he shook her harder and said louder and firmer. "Helena! Wake up!" she groaned and rolled over onto her stomach, ignoring him and unaware that her sisters were taping the entire thing.
"HELENA!" Luther practically yelled at her. She rolled over onto her back and glared daggers up at the man leaning over her.
"Don't you know it is inappropriate to enter a young maiden's chambers? Especially for the young man to enter while the young maiden is SLEEPING?" Helena yelled at him using an extremely old and formal form of words and an extremely pissed off tone of voice. With that she flopped back down on the bed and pulled the pillow and covers over her head exposing bare ankles. Luther straightened up and walked over to the foot of the bed gesturing for Alex and Lissa to stand on the other side of the room.
When they did he picked up Helena's ankles and pulled. Helena who had to endure through two years of Alex and Lissa doing this grabbed the bars in the headboard and held on tightly. After a few minute s Luther dropped Helena's ankles and stalked out of the room.
Thinking he had given up Helena let go and curled up under the covers. She was a happy kitten once more. That is until Luther came back with a bucket of cold water. He set it down and ripped the covers off of the bed, then picking the bucket back up he dumped it on Helena. Who sat up and screamed,
"WHAT THE FG HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?" He had made her spitting mad now. She was no longer the sweet, gentle, kind kitten that he had become besotted with now she was a very mad, very frightening Lioness. He wanted to back off, but he stood his ground and said,
"Time to get up Helena. It is JUST as improper for beautiful young women to sleep in so late. Not to mention it's horrible for you." As he said this he became more and more emotionless. Now if Helena were not soaking wet and pissed off she would have thought 'did he just call me beautiful? Who is this guy?' but then again she WAS soaked wet and very, very pissed off at Luther.
"I'll have you know that I had to deal with Darling Little Lissa over there tossing and turning trying to get used to sleeping with wings, and Dear, DEAR" she looked over at her sisters who wore identical grimaces. "Alex, talking in her sleep. I did not get to sleep until 5:00 this morning and so I think that I deserve to sleep in 'til noon! DO I not deserve at least THAT much sympathy?!" Helena said putting a lot of venom into her words.
"No." Luther said taking hold of Helena's hand and walking forward. As he walked he put Helena's arm around his shoulders more and leaned down scooping her up bridal style and walking back out the door. He was aiming to take her into the kitchen but was rather unsuccessful.
(A/N: THIS SECTION OF THE STORY WAS EDITED OUT DUE TO MAJOR VIOLENCE AND MANY, MANY, MANY CUSSWORDS.)
Five minutes later Luther was down stairs with a multitude of cuts, bruises, abrasions, and a few broken bones.Lissa stood across from him shaking her head then finally sighing, "I'll go get the first aid kit." But before she could fully turn around she felt a hand close around her wrist, she slowly turned.
"No need for that old thing when I've got you. I saw it last night; you finally have your healing powers. Just like Alex has her telepathy. Helena doesn't have hers yet but she will in good time." Luther said shocking both Lissa and Alex as he sat down.
"You mean to tell us that you knew we would have powers?" Lissa said raising her eyebrows in disbelief as she stepped forward and started healing all cuts, bruises and abrasions first.
"Uh yeah. Pretty much. And is Helena ALWAYS like that in the mornings?" Luther asked.
"Only when someone forcibly wakes her up. One time while Helena was at my house and it as just us two, Lissa texted her around 8:00am and amazingly Helena answered almost immediately. The clicking of the keys on Helena's cell phone is what woke me up actually." Alex said watching Lissa check for any broken ribs on Luther, luckily there weren't any.
"You're healed." Was all Lissa said before asking randomly, "any wide open spaces around here?" Luther just looked at her blankly. Alex giggled while Lissa sighed adjusting her shirt so the slits she had cut the night before were in the correct place, took a step back and slowly opened her wings.
"Ah. Right. Forgot 'bout the wings. Uh not really, no." Luther said then added, "Well look who it is, our very own sleeping beauty. Who kissed you awake Helena?" Lissa snapped her wings closed and she and Alex spun around and looked at the stairs where Helena stood glaring a glare that would make any normal person cower in fear, except that Luther was not normal and the girls were rather used to their sister's 'go to hell' looks. To Luther's minor surprise Helena smiled at him, it was a very evil smile that she had learned from Alex and then tweaked it to be her own. It was one of those smiles that meant someone was going to die in about 10 seconds… probably less.
"Helena…" Alex started but never finished because she had to pull Lissa to the ground because Helena had her power now. She was telekinetic; she could move things with her mind, a very dangerous gift for her.
"I have my Powah!!" Helena said darkly.
Insert evil laughter here Ok This chapter deserve a thanks to Helena for the idea and chapter 10 deserve a very special thanks and an apology to Alex because I for got to thank her at the end of that chapter for her action idea so here we go!
