COBRAS CLAN>10PM**
The clan was so rowdy and buzzing as ever,even though the banquet is not until the next night. Everyone was having fun as they meet different people from different clans
At the center of the clan where a night fire was made are some members of Cobras and other clans gathered together chatting and playing games
“So…truth or dare?” A girl asked as the bottle faced Echo this time around
“Truth” Echo muttered
“Your deepest secret”
Echo bite her lips
“I…..I once had a crush on a girl” She blurted out
“Wow,really who?” Another one asked
“I know who it is…” Lilith spoke up
“Of course we all know it’s Athena” Idris smiled and Athena looked at Echo who wasn’t looking her way
“It’s true,I was really crazy about you. That was why I always get jealous whenever you’re with Trace,it was because….I was in love with you” Echo said in tears and got up,running off immediately
Athena stood up and ran after her
“Only a fool wouldn’t notice those two are in love with each other” Seth chuckled
“Well,I’m in support of anything” Lilith smiled
“Why wouldn’t you?? I still can’t believe you and Drake are a thing,but you kept it from us silly” Chicago roll her eyes
“Well now you know” Lilith grinned
“How the Füçk did you two started? The last time I checked,that dude always have his eyes facing the sky anytime he’s walking” Trace said and they all laughed
“It just…happened” Lilith blushed
“I want to fall in love,someone push me please” Idris groaned
“I already saw your fate Idris,you will remain single forever,Even If they push you,you will stand stagnant” Star said and they laughed
“I should be saying that,right now my heart isn’t working anymore. I lost it all” Seth muttered
“You should try falling in love with me then” A girl said with a flirting wink and the boys laughed as Seth opened his mouth,not spitting a word out

“Echo wait!!” Athena finally grabbed her hand and Echo faced her.
“I shouldn’t have said that….I know you don’t feel the same…I just…..”
“I love you too Echo” Athena said and Echo looked at her with shock
“You…..you do?” She asked and Athena nodded
“I actually thought my feelings were weird,I thought you would h@të me if I ever told you…that was why I kept it all to myself. The truth is,I love you more than just a friend….I’m madly in love with you…..” before she could finish,Echo went on her toes since Athena is taller than her,she slammed her lips on her own in a slow kiss.
Athena reciprocated in a more faster pace as Echo’s fingers run through her short hair.

Back outside
A car suddenly drove into the clan and almost all eyes fell on the familia car,soon the door opened and Drake came out first,Followed By Venom,he stretched his hand for Marissa and she immediately took it as she also came down holding Beauty
“Oh my God!!! The boss is back!!!!”
“Boss lady is back!!”
“Why is she looking even more beautiful?!!!”
The continue screaming and bowing as they walked
Marissa’s eyes trailed around until they landed on Galaxy who immediately bowed and she smiled at her
“I heard Madam Zuna prepared a surprise dinner for us” She smiled
“I miss her food” Venom said
“Me too,right Baby?” She turned to Beauty
“Yes momma” Beauty smiled
Soon,they got to Blade’s suite and entered.
“Madam Zuna!” Marissa screamed out happily but stopped when she saw Knight sitting next to Blade
Her eyes went wide
“Phoenix??” She called immediately and rushed to hug her
“You are alive,how come?? I don’t care but you’re really here……” Marissa said in tears,hugging her tightly
Everyone watched without saying a word
Knight didn’t move back either,she pat Marissa’s back gently
“I’m not Phoenix” she finally said and Marissa moved back immediately
“Then…..who are you??” She asked
“I’m Knight…Phoenix’s twin sister” Knight smiled
“Knight?” Marissa asked and She nodded
“No,Phoenix told me Knight is her friend and that I was going to meet her during the banquet…..”
“I guess she wanted to surprise you,,,if she really talked about me then you must be someone special to her” Knight smiled
“I’m her best Friend” Marissa broke into tears
“Then…Are you Marissa?” Knight asked and Marissa nodded quickly
Knight stood up and hugged Marissa
“She often talked about you” Knight muttered and Marissa sniffed,hugging Knight even more
“You look like my best friend,you look exactly like her” Marissa muttered
Venom and Blade exchanged a brotherly hug
“Hey Beauty!” Madam Zuna carried Beauty on her Laps
Marissa and Knight finally let go of each other and they sat down
“Blade,have you guys talked?” Marissa asked
Blade and Knight exchanged glances
“She almost killed me when we first met” Blade said and Knight frowned
“That arrow was never going to hit you, I told you I never miss a target,I just wanted to stop you from smoking” Knight scoffed and Marissa smiled at Knight
“You and Phoenix are exactly the same” Madam Zuna chuckled
“No,I don’t think so. My sister is silent,and so sweet,but I’m annoying as you can see” Knight said and Marissa laughed
“I’m glad you know” Blade muttered and rolled his eyes
“Hey dude,are you angry about something?” Knight asked and Blade ignored her
“Can we start eating? I’m hungry” Blade said
“Do you have a boyfriend??” Madam Zuna asked and immediately Blade dropped his cutlery waiting for her answer
“No I don’t” Knight shook her head
“You don’t have to lie,he showed up in the morning” Blade faced her
“Oh Austin,he’s my friend. He’s got a girlfriend but we are quite close” Knight said
Madam Zuna and Marissa smiled
“And you are Marissa’s boyfriend right?” Knight asked Venom
“Yeah” Venom replied and Knight nodded
“Right before we start eating,we have a goodnews” Marissa said and her cheeks turned red
“What’s that?” Madam Zuna asked
Marissa turned to Venom and he pecked her lips
“I’m Pregnant!!” She screamed excitedly
“Oh my God!” Madam Zuna immediately got up to hug Marissa
“I’m so happy for you”
“Me too” Marissa said
“Congrats” Knight also hugged her
“Congratulations bro,you’re the real baller” Blade said to Venom and they both laughed
“Beauty,you’re gonna be having another baby,do you want a boy or a girl?” Madam Zuna asked as they started eating
“Baby Boy” Beauty said and Venom laughed in Victory
“But…I want a girl” Marissa muttered
“This young adult is going to become a bad shooter…..” before Blade could finish,Knight hit her spoon on his head
“Ahh!! Are you crazy?!” Blade yelled,rubbing his head
“How can you say that to an innocent baby,gosh” Knight scoffed
Marissa laughed
“Seriously,I love you. You need to teach this dude a lesson” Marissa said and smirked at Blade
“Wait Rissa,don’t tell me you’re supporting this psycho” Blade said
“What? Me psyco?? I told you I’m annoying,but do you know my other nature??” She asked
“What?”
“I’m a zombie and I eat brains,now let me start with you” Knight immediately stood up but Blade was faster,he left the dinning room with chicken in his hand while Knight followed him
“I think I love her,I can’t believe that stone is finally smiling again” Madam Zuna smiled
“Me too” Marissa chuckled
**
“I guess you always take flowers to my sister’s grave,it was looking so pretty as I watched from the tree in the morning” Knight said while walking beside Blade along the hallway
Blade nodded
“So,you didn’t get a chance to confess to her?” She asked
“And I regret it” Blade muttered
“I’m sure she will rest in peace when she heard you tell her how much you love her,even in her grave” Knight said and Blade looked at her
“What,you think it’s a joke again?? I’m serious this time,trust me” Knight said and smiled but Blade was already lost staring at her
‘I never thought I will still get the chance to see the same face and smile,I missed it so much’ he said inwardly
“Hey…” Knight tapped him
“Blade…” She was stunned when Blade’s lips landed on hers
She immediately pushed him away gently
“You…you’re in love with my sister not me. What are you thinking??” She said and looked away
Blade grabbed her hand
“I can see her right in your eyes,everything I missed about her. Her smiles,her sharp eyes,the only difference about you is that,,she was in love with me. But I regret ever pushing her away,maybe I took her for granted because of the love she had for me…but I’m ready to pay back,you can treat me the way you want,but as long as I can continue seeing this face and your beautiful smile…so please,don’t push me away. I might go crazy” Blade muttered and Knight stood still, looking dumbfounded.
She moved her thumb to Blade’s face and wipe off the slow tears rolling down his eyes
“But….still….no matter what,I’m not her…”
“I don’t care” Blade cut her off and held her cheeks
“Like I said,your smile alone is going to mend my chattered heart” He said and slowly their lips met again
This time,Knight didn’t push him away,she shut her eyes and allowed him do his thing,and then gently she began kissing him back too.
