Hey guys, next chapter.
(Sophia's p.o.v) (Thirty-Two years ago)
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
I gasped and shot out of bed at the sound of loud beeping, I sigh and glance up at my clock. The small square box filling the room with the most annoying sounds. I ball my hand into a fist and slam it down on top of the machine. A sickening crack is heard as the small frame crumples under my strength, with a growl I smack the now crumpled box across the room and watch as it explodes into a million pieces against the wall. A loud gasp is heard as Natalie enters my room, she had to tuck an roll to avoid the flying projectile and was currently staring at me in annoyance.
"Holy crap, you pissed in your cornflakes" she jokes with a small smirk, I send her the bird and a un-amused frown before rolling out of bed. "Al, Sophia's breaking things again!" she yells in a giggle.
"SOPHIA, I swear to GOD if you don't stop breaking my stuff I'm GOING to kill you!" Alex yells through the house in a strained voice.
Natalie smirks loudly as she lifts up her hands. With a light hiss they start glowing an igniting in a red and yellow fire, she moves her hands above the broken clock and slowly the pieces start to turn red. With a smile she flicks her hands up and the glass, well now molten glass and plastic floats into the air. With a light smile she brings her hands together in an open circular formation and slowly closes her fingers into fists. With a high pitched hiss the glass and metal swirls into a ball and instantly cools before fading into a silver and clear ball. It falls into the garbage-can with a semi-loud thump. Nat sends me a smirk as she dusts off her hands. I roll my eyes and strip out of my sexy lace nightgown.
"Damn, if I knew you would give me a strip tease I would have brought a camera" a voice smirks, I turn to see Al standing in the doorway.
"Oh piss off Al" I growl.
I walk to the closet and pull out a white sport bra and matching underwear, with a sigh I pull out a pair of sweat pants and pull them on. I walk over to the desk and gently brush my hair and pull it into a loose bun. I grab my fingerless gloves and slip them to my hands before tying up my shoes and heading to the kitchen.
(Daph's p.o.v)
I walked down the hallway quietly and opened up the small door covered with pink flowers. The room was lightly lit, light peaked into the room form the semi-parted curtains. I smiled and quietly opened up the curtains before turning to the small crib.
"Kayliee" I whisper with a loving voice, I glance down to see the 2 month infant, her little chest rose and fell with each breath and I couldn't help but smile as she sucked on her thumb. I gently reach down and pick up the sleeping child before heading down stairs. I purposely got up a half an hour earlier than the girls so I wouldn't be in the way fro their daily morning fight. I shift Kayliee close to my chest before opening the cupboard to grab a bottle. With a flick of my hands a gust of air fills the kitchen and a package of baby formula and different foods start floating around the kitchen.
A loud bang fills the air followed by angry swearing echoes through the house and I shake my head with a smile. Well, the girls were up. Loud yelling echo's the house and Kayliee stirs in my arms with a gurgle and a whimper. I curl my hand in a tight fist to cut out the wind and grab the now warm bottle from the microwave, I gently test the milk on my wrist before sitting on a wooden stool and feeding her. Echoes of heels, boots and flip flops rang down the steps and soon the kitchen was filled with five noisy teenagers.
"Shhhhh!" I growl and narrow my eyes on the swearing teens.
"Sorry." Five voices say in unison and their yelling ceases, I smile and cross my left leg as I turned to face them.
"There's breakfast on the table." I say and nod my head in the direction of 5 tall glasses filled to the brim with thick grey liquid.
They sigh and walk into the Living room.
"Ahhhhh!" Natalie cry's out when her arm is grabbed by Sophia and she's flipped to the floor.
Sophia smiles as she standing over her, the wooden staff is pointed at Nat's throat. She sighs and leans back against the red mat. My hand shoots out and I easily catch her wooden staff before it hits the baby bouncer Kayliee was sleeping in.
"Natalie you NEED to focus!" My voice rings out through the training room.
"I cant tell if your even trying" Sophia jokes and removes her stick before extending her hand. "What are you half asleep?" Nat laughs and grab it.
With a gasp she's quickly hauled off the floor and standing face to face with Sophia. Who in turn smiles, I give Nat a light whistle and toss her in a new staff. With out looking Sophia's beats her to the punch as her hand shoots into the air, catches the staff and calmly hands it to Natalie.
"This is SO unfair?!" Natalie cries out as yet again Sophia throws her to the mat with ease "Sophia is way higher level then the rest of us!"
Sophia snorts loudly at that comment and I could help but smile.
"That's kinda funny though... considering you guys have been doing this for the better part of 5000 years before me" Sophia teases lightly as she circles Nat "Oh come on, don't tell me your giving up? I'm just getting warmed up" A Cheshire grin held her lips. "What's wrong baby, you scared" she teases again. At this Nat snorts loudly.
"Oh you, please..." she puts her hand sot the mat and flips up with ease "I'm just saying you cheat" Sophia mouth falls open in a gasp
"I do NOT cheat!" she growls but I could see the smile on her face.
"Oh please, I know you cheat!" Alex's voice calls from across the room.
I glance up to see her disarm and flip Christina to the mat before pining her there with an arm, with a huff she blows her long red hair out of her face and glances at Sophia with a smile. Under her Chrissie whines loudly and tries to squirm out of her grasp
"Being better than someone is not cheating Alex, its called skill... Apparently something you still need to learn" Sophia adds with a smirk.
I eternally swear as Alex's eyes narrow on Sophia in a deadly glare but Sophia brushes it off with a smile. She rolls the staff in her hands before glancing back to Natalie how had pulled herself off the mat.
"You have to keep your focus Natalie" she says and drops back into a fighting stand "A distracted opponent means a dead one."
She nod and drop into a similar stance, the wooden staff twirls gently in her hand. Natalie runs to strike her but Sophia grabs her shoulders, flips over her head and lands to the floor. When her feet land she quickly drops to the floor and swipes out Natalie's feet. Natalie Squeals as she hits the mat yet again. Sophia grabs the spinning staff before it touches the floor and calmly places both of them behind her head. A Cheshire grin was holding her lips, Nat groans and lays against the mat. With a sigh I blow the whistle around my neck and call her off the mat. Christina high fives them both before she sit cross legged against the wall. I call up Maria next and watch the same scene fold out. I walk over to Kayliee and rub her belly with my fingers.
One by one each girl was taken down and out by Sophia, my still undefeated pupil. I blow my whistle as Chrissie is tossed to the mat and signal up Alex, who smirks and cracks her knuckles loudly. Sophia smiles and tosses Christina her staff before patting her on the back. Alex smiles and steps onto the mat, the wooden staff held threatingly in her fingers. I always had to watch these fights, Sophia and Alex were so closely matched that it always came down to a nail biting finish.
They both drop into a fighting stance and I drop my hands for them to begin.
Sophia is the first to attack, throwing multiple gabs at the face with the staff. Alex easily dodges them before she brings up her staff to block a hard hit to the ribs. Both girls charge at each other before locking sticks in the middle and doing a fast spin to knock the other off the mat. Sophia throws back her right hand before jumping into a quick back hand spring, barely dodging Alex's staff that crashes down in the spot Sophia had been in only seconds before. With a large smile Sophia slowly twirls the staff in her hand, Alex glances up at her from a crouch.
"You know Alex" she grins "I found myself saying a little pray for you last night"
"Did you Sophia, how kind" she smirks and grips the bar in both hands.
"Yes, I prayed that Apollo would inspire you with a strategy that might end your rather long string of defeats at my hand" Sophia smirks back.
Alex smirks and launches herself up into the air, Sophia blocks the head attack and goes to knock out her knees. Alex quickly blocks it and jumps into a side kick, Sophia quickly rolls out of the way with a smile before blocking a head jab with her staff and retaliating by using her foot to smash Alex's staff in half. Al back up surprised but quickly catches Sophia's gab before it hits her stomach and adverts it from her body. With a smile she throws one half of her now broken staff at Sophia face, Soph gasps and blocks the flying object. Alex quickly uses the moment to kick Soph's staff to the floor and with a step forward she points the sharp broken end of the staff at Sophia neck.
"Praise Apollo" Alex smirks, the others all gasp in shock.
Had Alex finally done it?
I went to call off the match but I noticed the small hidden smile on her lips, I smiled as I too realized that Alex had lost attention to the fight so I stood still and waited. Quickly Sophia grabs Alex's hair and tugs her head back, Alex gasps surprised and Sophia uses that distraction to smack away the wood and knock her feet out. With a hard tug of her hair Alex is sent on a spiral to the mat. She lands on her back with a thump and Sophia's foot is at her throat seconds after.
"Obviously I'm not praying hard enough" Sophia smirks, the other cheer loudly.
I glance up at her and watch her chest rising and falling steadily, a look of pure determination and pride on her face. I couldn't help but smile a bit. She reminded me so much of her mother.
"If You were not the team leader..." Alex growls lowly, I smile and end the match with a loud clap.
"Well done Sophia" I smile and throw them each a towel "But be kind to Alex. Believe it or not, there was a time when she was the fiercest worrier among us" Sophia smirks but extends her hand to Alex, who smacks it out of the way and hauls herself off the mat. I clap my hands and gently take Kayliee's bouncer out of the room.
"Alright girl, enough training. It's time for school." I call over my shoulder.
(Sophia's p.o.v)
I was drying off my body with a fluffy towel, the girls were in the showers or already gone. I glance at Alex clipping up her bra.
"Hey... you did pretty good. If it wasn't for that hair you probably would have had me." I say, Alex sends me a glare but I could see the tiny smile as she turned back to her locker.
"You too." she whispers after a second.
"Keep practicing and you could still beat me" I smirk
She rolls her eyes as I slip on a red and black lacy bra and matching thong. I turn around as I slip of a red and blue off the shoulder crop top and a pair of baby blue jean short shorts. I plop myself on my stool with a huff, I was met with two small smiles before the room was empty. I let out an exhausted sigh and look at myself in the mirror, a frowning face glanced back at me. I gently curled my hands together and glanced at the diamond on my ring finger. I blocked back the tears and occupied myself by using my hands to gently brushed my wavy hair out my face. I applied some unneeded make up and a bit of perfume before slipping on a pair of cowgirl boots. I flipped my hair a bit before glancing back in the mirror one last time, with a sigh I put on a semi-smile and headed down stairs.
I sigh as we all drive to school, 4 fancy sport cars follow behind me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. We speed down the highway, I glance at my speed and aw the dial at 134, with a smile I push my foot down and accelerate to 180. throwing hard turns as we pass people with ease, I see the city approaching and I throw a hard right. My tires squeal as I drift into the parking lot, I throw a hard left and swerve out of the way of other students. I grab my brake and pull it hard as I spin the wheel to the drift to the right. I come to a stop perfectly in between the yellow lines of the parking stall. The screeching of tires is heard as the girls drift into the spaces around me. I laugh as I get out of my car and lock it.
The girls smirked as did the same as I swung my purse over my shoulder, I flip my hair and glance at the school. Every one was looking at us, That smile falls as I sigh and walk down the pavement. Christina smiles and hocks my waist with her arm. I gasp lightly as she pulls me forwards with her.
"Jesus fucking Christ, do people ever stop staring?" I growl lowly, Chrissie squeezes my side.
"Smile Sophia" she giggles "The public loves us"
I roll my eyes but put on a smile as we walk across the parking lot, all eyes followed of every movement.
Alex smirks as she walks beside me, blowing a light kiss at a football jock. He smirks as he eyes up her tight leather pants and tight blue corset. The back was cut down to her ass and drew a lot of attention, her bright red hair was in a high ponytail and still reached her mid back.
Chrissie was wearing a tiny tight blue and yellow sun dress that fanned out around the waist and heels, her blonde shoulder length locks where in two tight piggy tails.
Maria had a green strapless top and a ruffled skirt. Her green pumps clicked against the sidewalk.
Natalie was wearing a white off the shoulder romper, the blue bracelets clinked around her wrists. She had white stilettos and a lines of silver swirling down the heel. Her wavy light brown hair was pulled into a loose pony-tail over her left shoulder.
"I Can't believe I have to do this again" A soft voice growls.
I glanced up to see Kira getting out of her car. She was wearing a small white dress that fanned out lightly at the skirt, her blonde hair was pinned to the side by a shooting star bobby pin. Chrissie smiles and hooks am arm around her shoulder.
"Hey, once you've done this 37 times then you can complain" she laughs, Kira groans at the thought.
"When did being immortal get so boring?" I smirk at the irony of that.
Okay, peace out!
