The Rejected Queens

Chapter 6 | Punishment

kia's pov:

The next morning I woke up early, earlier than mom to be precise, took care of my morning business and went straight to the living room. Well, I am a little worried about my dear siblings, hope they are up and sober to face mom. As I reached the living room, I found them both still sound asleep, quite the contrary to my hopes!

I tried to wake up Ivan and and Drake, but these guys are too sleepy. I tapped them on cheeks, hell! almost slapped! no response! tapped forehead. No use, I tried to drag them down the sofa. Ivan is too heavy for me, I held him by the right leg which was hanging down from the time I last saw him, I tried to drag him down, I've pulled it using my whole strength, this guy just doesn't move.

I arched my body backward, holding and pulling Ivan's leg, so that my body weight also could help me do the job, but this guy is so damn like rock man. I huff in frustration and took a minute to relax myself. Then, I went to Drake, this i***t is still hanging his head, how hell was he able to sleep in that position? that too for the whole night? I grabbed him by shoulders, both my hands travelling from his back, through under arms and locking on his chest.

I took a deep breath, using as much as strength I can mutter, and with one swift move, Drake was on the floor, groaning! He grabbed his head with both his hands, resting his elbows on knees which were mounted by feet, spread carelessly. Ha! looks like dude's got a real bad hang over. I ran to the kitchen and got back with a glass of honey water to help him. I handed it to him and went back to the kitchen again.

I opened the fridge, got a good bucket full of Ice, added little water to it, got back to the living room and splashed the contents over Ivan, only to hear a loud shriek followed by curses in my honor! His eyes were red. I can't help but notice the vein popping on his forehead. before I could process anything he pounced on me only to fall on ground before me.

AaH! He held his head and I heard a fit of giggles from behind to find Lily standing on the stairs, holding her stomach with a hand and throwing her head back.

" I will get you some honey water Ivan and Drake you better get up now. Mom's on fire" Both the heads swung at once towards me, with eyes as wide as saucers. "s**t!" my brothers said in unison.

"Drake, you've switched it off, right?" said Ivan, his eyes glued to the television. I can read the fear and tension in his eyes.

"Bro! I don't remember doing that" Drake said on full panic mode.

"I did that! but, mom noticed it before me!" I stated folding my hands under my chest.

"You guys are seriously something! Who in this world watches fifty shades with sibling?" it was Lily's turn to talk. If it was possible for some one's jaw to hit the floor, then it just did. Both my brothers had their jaws hanging to their lowest possible point and eyes wide open to pop out of sockets.

Thankfully, Lily relayed the message I was dying to give them. Ivan and Drake looked at each other, embarrassed by Lily's statement.

In the next moment Ivan and Drake got up, cleared the mess, whatever was left undone yesterday, and sprang to their respective rooms as if their lives depended on it.

" your bother's are cute" I found a smile plastered on Lily's face.

"Freshen up! Breakfast is on me today." she nodded and went back to her room.

I went to the kitchen and shuffled through the ingredients available, then decided on pan cakes, hard boiled eggs, beckon and sausage. I started with preparing batter for pan cakes, and boiling water on the other hand for sausages.

In a good half an hour, I'm done making breakfast. I was carrying things to the dinning table, when I noticed mom and Lily having conversation in the living room. Mom is holding Lily in a tight hug, Lily, on the other hand is leaning her head on mom's shoulder and what? she's sniffing. Lily's crying? why? she was just fine a few moments ago.

I went to them and sat beside mom, questioning mom with my gesture. Mom let out heavy breath and shook her head, which meant only one thing. Lily called Andrew and he is still unreachable! I heard something shuffle behind me to find Ivan and Drake aiming for the back door which opens through the dinning and just then, I knew it was my bad to wake the up myself before mom!

"mom don't you think you are forgetting something?" I mumbled and gestured mom towards Ivan and Drake. Escaping her wrath after mom noticed their attempt to escape? Not in this lifetime for sure!

******

"Poor guys!" I c****d my head to look at Lily whose voice sounded remorseful, looking at my brothers from the window of our guest room I mean Lily's room as of now.

"Don't say that!" I glared at her. She smiled at me and nodded.

Ivan and Drake are in the garden, clearing weeds. Mom gave an earful to both of them as soon as she caught them trying to escape. But Ivan is a Dumbo! He not only got himself into trouble, but Drake, me and also Lily!

As soon as mom's tried to punish him, Ivan had to play innocent and out of blue, blurt out that it was me who gave him the movie saying it would be interesting. I was so shocked to even speak.

Of course, Lily defended me saying she knows me well, that I am her roommate and bench mate, we were always together and I never would suggest those 'A' rated movies ever.

Drake joined Ivan's play and stated that it was Lily who actually passed the movie to me who in turn gave it to them. Can somebody imagine how lovely my brothers are?

Furious, mom cancelled all the shifts of helpers for a week. Ivan and Drake are responsible for all the work at home and on the other hand I and Lily are jailed into Lily's room, our mobiles taken away, and left to boredom to reflect on ourselves.

A bang on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Ivan and Drake entered with our shopping bags which we left in the trunk yesterday. I snarled at him, to which he only chuckled.

Shit! I totally forgot Lily's here! I almost revealed to her that I'm a werewolf, so is my whole family. I coughed up on air to cover up my snarl.

The shocked look on her face gave me goosebumps. She doesn't know what we are! She thinks of me as a human, just like her. She has no knowledge of the existence of our kind or any other super natural being, which are myths among humans!
