Antanasia

Cause a princess doesn't cry

Angel POV 

    I was sitting on the floor, watching the newcomers getting their training. I pity them really, I know how hard it was when I had to undergo those two years ago. I was watching Antanasia, she was fighting with another "new recruit". That's the first part here if you want to survive, you have to be strong. So, at the menu fighting and all that's related. If you don't make the cut, your out. 

"I can't believe it has been so long since we were there, right Liam?" I said while remembering the first time I was brought here. 

"Hmm, you believed your brother would find you quickly," he said, clearly mocking my naive self

"Well, in my defense, I was 1 very young, 2 my brother's the king of hell for God's sake" I responded with a laugh, well aware of the irony in my sentence. 

    I met Liam in the first week I was brought here. Unlike Antanasia, not everyone was sold. Every person here had their own story. I was sold by a friend, not money though, but she brought me to what she was calling "the best bar you'll ever see" and they were waiting for me. They knew about my powers, how to control them, everything. Do you know what really sucks? She did that because once a boy that she liked asked me out. Yeah, you heard me, a kid's jealousy got me in a p**********n/info network. Funny how you never expect to be betrayed by those you love. 

"You're thinking about her aren't you?" said Liam without even looking at me. 

I smiled at how well he knew me. 

" And now your thinking how well I know you huh?" he added a grin 

"Shut up," I said playfully 

    I can't believe this guy became this important to me. I watched him discreetly, he is really handsome. I remember the first time I saw him, I think that was my first thought. While others were afraid of this place, I was fascinated by him. Tall, dark blueish hair, dark captivating eyes, slender jaw, a slim figure yet enough muscle. However, you could tell that life didn't spare him. I learned later that unlike us, he came here willingly. To save his family, he came in an exchange of money that would help his mother and his seven siblings. He was very talented and also very hot.

     I wanted to kiss him, I wanted to touch those muscles, I just wanted to put my hand in his hair just to see if they were as soft as they looked. God, I really really wanted to f**k him. 

"So, how long do you give her?" he said, getting me out of my fantasy

"Who? Antanasia?" I responded while looking at the direction he was pointing to. "From what I've seen, she's a tough one. She'll manage to survive"

"Hm, we'll see." was the last words of Liam before he turned his head to what we affectionately call The RING.

    It's like a small arena where the virgins, as we like to call them,  learn to fight. They throw two recruits and make them fight. It's over only when one is out. Antanasia was next, I was curious, to be honest, and I really hoped she could be as strong as I believed her to be. 

Antanasia POV - Day 9

    So, that's the ring huh. Ange told me about it this morning. You had to fight because it was either you win and you get a good score or you lose and your chances of survival dropped significantly. 

I got this, I got this I repeated like a mantra. These past few days, I had a lot of these. Just imagine it's Daphne or Bella and punch as hard as you can. 

"The rules are simple" started our professor, a certain Dimitri "You fight until one of you is out. Also, it goes without saying, nothing's off-limits. You can use magic, weapons anything you know about. That would only be possible once you go to the ring, once your off, the chips we put in your bodies will cut your magic. Let's see, for this round, I wanna see Antanasia against Jeremy"

"Just for your information, I won't go easy on you just because your a girl" started Jeremy "I have to survive too" 

I smiled, it was a genuine one, why do boys always believe we need them to go easy on us huh? " Well, let me give you back your courtesy" I added before smashing my fist on his face. 

"That was a hell of a match Nastia," said Angel while walking towards me

That's Angel for you, 9 days in and she already found a nickname for me "Thanks, I just had to imagine people I hated and that did the trick" 

"Well, I knew you were good. So, this is Liam, he was on a mission when you got here. So, Liam, this is Antanasia, Antanasia this is Liam" she said while pointing out to the boy next to her. 

"Nice to meet you, Liam," I said with a smile 

"Likewise" he answered. 

Rather cold. 

"Don't worry about him, he is not much of a talker but you can really count on him, he's the best" Angel said with an affectionate smile. 

    oh, I see what's going on so he was her love interest huh, not bad, not bad at all. He was hot tbh when she said there was someone who she liked, It was hard to believe she could after everything she went through but I guess I'm happy she has, it hasn't been long but I really liked her. She was nicer to me in these past days than my sisters in their lifetime. 

"Well, you survived your first training. Let's go eat something and rest. you still have a long week and I have a mission to prepare for" said Angel with a sigh while linking both her hands in mine and Liam's, taking us with her. 

A few months later - Nastia's POV

   "So, for those still here congratulations, you've made it this far. You've completed the training, now it's time to start your real training. I want the girls to follow Kira right here, the boys you're with me" said Dimitri 

It was time huh? I heard about this training from Angie and Liam. They separated the girls and boys and made them learn all about how to satisfy the opposite s*x. 

Kira introduced herself, she was one of the professors that trained the recruits. " I want you to listen to me carefully ladies because I hate to repeat myself. To your left, you can see a few gentlemen that volunteered gracefully to be your first clients. Your first lesson is to learn how to obtain information through s*x. So, I want each one of you to come in front of the boys and get your knees. Today, you'll learn all about fellation" she continued with a big smile, she was really enjoying this. 

    A few girls started crying, I wanted to cry too but I won't. I have to get stronger, I won't die until I made them pay. I started humming a song I used to like before, it went like this

Cause a princess doesn't cry (no-oh)

Over monsters in the night

Don't waste our precious time

On boys with pretty eyesA princess doesn't cry (no-oh)

Burning like a fire

You feel it all inside

But wipe your teary eyes

I just needed to remember, a princess doesn't cry. As heavy as the crown, the responsibilities, We fight. We conquer. We win.
