I spun my body 90 degrees and raised a powerful kick towards the back of Luke, surprising him with my speed and the weight of the attack. He slides back while Mark run towards me tries to land a punch, only to et blocked by me and returning the punch at his stomach. We exchanged blows for a while until my eyes caught onto something flashy on his eyes.
Knife!
Without knowing, i used telepathy to remove the knife away from his hand- oh shit.
"Athena! How many times did i tell you to stop using magic during combat training!" My angry father yells at me. His ear fumes as this was my 5th scolding for the day.
Oh man.
Luke and Mark sticks their tongues out, obviously these idiots told dad again. I gave my father a playful smile, approaching him a a very adorable gesture by poking his shoulder. "But he took out a knife-"
"I don't need your excuses! Give me 200." He sighs.
"But i'm not in the wrong here! Come on dad! If you were clearly watching Mark really did have a weapon that is against the rule when doing hand to hand combat." I rolled my eyes.
"Fine young girl, i'll let this pass, you already beat them again at this state again." He sighs.
"Well they deserved it! And stop calling me a young girl dad willya?" I rolled my eyes at these ridiculous men infront of me as i turned away to leave.
My name is Athena, i don't recall my childhood and especially the day that i was found half dead infront of our house. It was weird that i couldn't recall anything when i met all these guys, that's why when i woke up two years ago, i almost attacked them to protect myself until they did prove that they knew me. Pictures of my face plastered around the house and even videos.. but it's really strange. It's like i'm not the person in the portraits that they've shown me.
"You've been gone for 4 years Athena! You made all of us worried sick for you!" A guy said, my mind still blank, they came closer and hugged me, welcomed me as a family.
Who am i really?
"YO WASAP SIS!" Luke slaps the shit out of my back. I was not on my guard when he did that's why i wasn't able to dodge the attack at once. My eyebrow furrowed and i glared at him.
"Woah! woah! I didn't mean that! I thought you was gonna seriously dodge like a ninja sis. I swear!" He steps back from me.
"Do you want to die?"
"No ma'm." He firmly says, stopping himself from laughing.
I sighed, whatever i'm getting tired from all these thinking.
"Yo Mark! Come over here." Luke calls out Mark, he responds quickly and rushes to our place. I stared at these two twin idiots little brother of mine.
"Our big sis seems to be In trouble!" They said in sync.
"Shut up." I said, my eyes getting tired from all these annoying pests. I opened the fridge and took out a carbon of milk and poured it into the glass.
"Is it because Dad keeps scolding you? He's just too proud at you like seriously." Luke says.
"What's being proud got anything to do with scolding you idiots!"
"No like we mean that since we found you, you really have changed for the better. You even chose to stay here, we all know you somehow lost your memories and actually we're sorry that we're actually relieved that you lost those memories." Mark sincerely says.
"What're you getting all serious at." I said and smacked both of them at the head. "You better quit messing with me." I smirked.
"We really like who you are now." They said smiling at me. "Especially your magic!"
I sighed, giving up from their cuteness. I smiled and grabbed their cheeks. "For tall guys, you guys have a really bad mouth." I laugh.
They told me 2 years ago everything about who i WAS. but everything that they taught me seems very unfamiliar with me, giving me an accurate list about me before losing my memories.
1. Likes pink.
2. Hates fighting
3. Likes wearing heels (a lot).
4. Shy
5. Low self-esteem.
6. Easily depressed.
7. Eats really less.
8. Hates her own family.
9. Likes make up.
10. Fangirls about celebrities (a lot)
11. Like spending dad's money (a lot)
WELL TALK ABOUT OPPOSITES. but 6 is right though
when i read the list that the twins gave me two years ago, i almost gagged. I mean i don't know what those things are but i'm already sensing a very unfamiliar thing apparently coming out from these habits that didn't match with my personality.
I let go of their cheeks after a while, they sobs in pain where my fingerprint left a mark on their poor fat cheeks. "Damn you always treat us like kids."
"Cause you both act like one." I laughed.
Our conversation was cut short when Dad suddenly shows up, patting Luke and Mark on the back, he faced me with a smile. "We're going hunting tonight lads."
"Again dad? It's only been 2 days since the last hunt." Luke mumbles.
Dad smacks him at his head, i laughed at him. "What's wrong with going on a hunt? It's fun." I said and sip my milk.
They stare at me wth wide eyes. "I still can't get use when she says hunting is fun." Luke says.
"Same." Mark adds.
"What now?" I rolled my eyes at them.
"Well First of all big sister, you hate HUNTING. You grew up throwing up everytime we hunt with you that's why we let you stay at home before." Mark said.
Whatever.
"Can you stop talking about the past me already?" I said annoyed. "Pack your things, we're gonna hunt some vampires tonight."
~•~
For the years that went by i learned one or two things in finding vampires. One is that it's easy to spot a vampire that's not a pureblood. Two, PUREBLOODS are clans that are really hard to find, expert in hiding theor presence and even attacking almost undetected- they kill their prey in the most perfect way.
My family told me that they only have encountered one pureblood, and that was enough to make them hate them more.
They killed our mom they said. Sadly, i don't remember her.
The Purebloods, Their strength is too much for humans like us even though we're vampire hunters. Some of our tools doesn't work on them, making it more complicated. We've been trying to find purebloods but can't spot another anymore.
Luke and i were stationed in a nearby cafe in the city, the crowd of people covering us from detection. I sipped my mocha latte while i waited for those bastards. I was wearing a hate to cover some of my features, since they told me i'm pretty popular here.
The hell.
"As usual you haven't brought anything." Luke smirks.
"I can detect them perfectly without a mirror, but you're free to use one. I don't sense anyone in range."
"Damn." He says. "This is the reason why i feel like a peasant whenever i'm with you. In all of our hunts i still can't believe you can detect them in a long range."
"I don't know why too." I replied.
"You know, when you returned. We also had some doubts about you."
My eyes widened. Doubts?
"What do you mean?"
"Well you already showed possessing magical powers that's why we immediately brought you to be examined."
My eyebrow furrowed. "What? Why can't i recall anything?"
"Dunno." He raises his shoulder. "But we do know that you're 100% human. We thought that you're just some doppelgänger from another species. But that's impossible since every doppelgänger would only appear once for every species."
A doppelgänger? Why haven't i thought about that. I still can't believe it sometimes that i'm the Athena they're talking about. I mean if i lost my memories, the times that i spent with them must've triggered some of my memories to appear.
But nothing came out.
My gripped tightened, and my mood darkened. I sensed someone meters away. He was walking in a really fast pace away from us, just barely stepping into my range of detection. I rose up and told Luke to follow along.
"What is it?" He asks.
"A vampire towards us, middle aged man. He's wearing a brown coat and a black hat-"
I was so hurried to catch up with its speed that i didn't notice the guy who was heading towards the opposite direction i was going to, heavily bumping towards him and falling down on my ass. My hat flew too, making me lower my face more.
Damn it i can be detected like that last time.
"Uhm miss? You okay?" The guy reaches out his hand.
My eyes widened, his smell. It's different.. somehow this kind of smell was somewhat familiar to my sense of smell that i didn't notice it that much. Smells like forest.. wolves? I gulped. That's right Dad told me some points pertaining to werewolves.
The enemy of vampires.
