《Her Five Protectors》TWELVE
Advertisement
Athen looks dumbstruck as out of nowhere Romeo approached her. He grabs her hand and started to tug her out of the crowd of students. Athena's heart starts to thump loudly in her chest. She is scared of this Romeo. His anger is scary. In a swift motion, he pushes her in a vacant classroom and slams the door shut.
"What did I told you Ariana?" He tries hard to not to yell at her after judging her scared expression. But still he sounds so stern almost the same replica of Vincenzo.
"You shouldn't be wandering around here like this. You shouldn't even talking or even looking at anyone. Just be a fuckin' robot and ignore everything. If anyone approaches you, just give them a cold shoulder. Make sure to keep your distance from both Sarah and Max. They were your good friends but complete troubles. Their blunt and irrelevant actions can harm you because I don't think they are taking this news well that you are physically and mentally not good.."
Romeo doesn't want to confront her with the fact that he is aware of her true identity. They need to keep this act until they find their real sister. This doppelganger is going to push herself in some trouble as their highschool is famous for it or it all might can lead everyone to the ugly truth. The real Ariana has made major mistakes that tarnished their family's name and even Romeo helped her but he regretted it instantly. He didn't want the repeat of none of those things.
He sighs as he notice a frown on her face. She looks so sad. Romeo hates it that this look of hers always manage to make his heart clench. She looks so confused, sad and scared at the same time. Athena doesn't deserve to be treated like this but Romeo himself can't change anything.
"You can go!" He tells her by running his hand through his hair in frustration. Athena nods and mutely walk out. As she step out of the room, she bumps into someone. Looking up, she finds Alexander and Vittorio standing in front of her.

"I will take you to your next class." Athena flinches a little as Vittorio wraps his arm around her shoulder and leads her out of the curious glances of students.
He leaves the room after making sure that she is sitting comfortably in the back of her class room. He made sure that he glare at each of her classmates silently warning them to not to mess up with her. In others eyes, Ariana is sick but in Vittorio's eyes Athena is not Ariana. She is a innocent yet dumb girl who got caught in all of these troubles. But it doesn't mean he wants to get her hurt.
Max and Sarah entered in the classroom a little while later. They continuously try to start a conversation with her but Athena ignores them by obeying Romeo's words. Athena acted like she is paying attention to the teacher and staring at him with eyes full of curiosity and understanding which is surprising the teacher himself.
But in reality, Athena feels like he is speaking of some alien things. She is confused and frustrated because she couldn't seem to understand what was he continuously talking about but she didn't dare to mirror her thoughts in front of everyone.
As the class ends, she is more than happy to step out as Vittorio informed her before leaving that this is a lunch time. Romeo has already given her a tour in the morning and the cafeteria is in the second section of building. She just need to make it there that she think is quite easy.
But however as she collects her stuff slowly and gets up from the chair, she is forcibly again pushed back down on it.
"Why are you ignoring us?" Sarah asks angrily. Max is also standing beside her and towering over Athena who looks scared and so tiny in compare with them.
"Ariana! Fucking answer. Does your brother told you to?" Athena swallows hard and fiddles with her fingers.

"I know you don't remember us but trust us Ariana we are your bestfriends. We can help you to get your memories back but only if you cooperate. You always used to say that your brothers are assholes and you never give a fuck about their shitty rul--" Sarah rambles but Athena surprisingly cut her off.
"T-they not bad." She whispers and shakily stand up. Surprisingly they both weren't able to hear it.
"I n-need to g-go." She squeezes her way from in between them and practically sprints out.
She pants slightly as mindlessly she rush into the bathrooms. She leans her back against the mirror wall and take some deep breaths to calm herself down. This whole thing is so intense. Everything happening around her is so bad. She need to get out of here as soon as possible.
As Athena is keep thinking about everything, the door opens silently and then slams shut. Athena jumps up slightly in fear and look back to see five group of girls. They smirk at her. They look the same age around Alexander and Athena could only assume that they are the university students judging by their different uniform. Romeo has explained her in the morning that Alexander is in University of this school. Twins are in their last senior year and she is in junior year. She doesn't understand much of it as he was explaining her but now she is trying to make a difference from it.
"Now now now. Will you guys look at this?" One of the girl who looks like to be an leader steps closer to her. Her heels, clicks loudly as she confidently saunters closer to Athena who is slightly backing away in fear.
"How have you been Ariana?" She asks and fixes her stare on her skinny form for more than a moment before looking in her eyes.
"Oh snap. I forget that you don't even remember me anymore." She gives her a sickly sweet smile.
"I am Aurora! Does my name rings a bell?" She asks and crouches down slightly so she is on the same eye level as Athena.
"I told you to stay away from my brother. Look what does he have done to you!" Aurora chuckles.
"Why do I feel like she is faking that she doesn't remember anything?" One of the girl who is standing at the door asks.
"Are you, Ariana?" Aurora asks and squeezed Athena's face roughly with her fingers.
"If you are so tell me where is my brother? You both runaway together and now you are here so why is he still missing? Where is he? What does have your brothers done to him?" The pressure of her grip on Athena's face tightens with each word she says.
Athena cries a little as she slaps her face lightly before releasing her. Aurora sighs and backs away a little from her.
"If you tell your brothers about me, you know the conseq-- wait a damn second! You don't even remember them. So lemme remind you a bit. You were right here begging and crying for mercy when I almost poured a drop of acid on your beautiful face. That was just to scare you but next time I will sure do ruin this pretty face of yours. Mark my words, Ariana."
Athena whimpers in fear as Aurora and her group silently leaves the place. Athena slid down against the wall still so shocked at this girl Aurora's moves. There are many questions running in Athena's mind but she is so scared to ask for answers.
