Chương 14: Match Part 1.

Josie and Lizzie woke up, then they went to the dining room.

" Let's have a solid breakfast, then we go to the stadium, it's game day. " Lizzie said as they descended the stairs.

" I'm not very hungry. " Josie said with a sickly complexion.

Lizzie stopped walking and glared at him.

" What ?" Josie asked

" This morning I woke up and while I showered, I spewed a black substance that looked like the blood running through the Penelope Park's veins. And since I know I didn't do any dark magic, it's probably a because of my lovely twin. " She said sarcastically.

Before Josie can answer, Dr. Saltzman comes to see them and tells them that he will not be able to be present at the match to the great disappointment of the twins, he goes in search of Landon, and counts on them to lose the match like every year. they continued on their way.

" In any case, I absolutely want to play with Raphaël or Aiónia this year." said Lizzie very enthusiastic about the idea.

" Unfortunately for you " Lizzie was cut off by Penelope who was sitting relaxed on an armchair reading a grimoire. " Raphael left with your father and his favorite daughter Hope. " Penelope told him with a big smile. " And I will made sure that Aiónia didn't take part in the game, stayed in the stands with me." she said with a mocking look.

The twins looked at each other, disappointed and angry and left without saying anything. Penelope took pleasure in having Lizzie suffer a little, even though she knew the real reason Aiónia wasn't going to play, and that he didn't like having fun.

All this happened while Aiónia entered the dining room, and decided to sit in his corner, he was joined shortly after by his roommate.

" Hey Capricious Princess, you seem in a good mood. " Aiónia said with a smile as he was just having a coffee for lunch.

" Hey beautiful brown, yes the Saltzman twins are mad that their dad dosen't join the game, I can't help but smile. " she told him with a smirk.

Aiónia laughed lightly at the girl's character but said nothing.

" You are going to participate in the match, with your athletic body you would probably make a good sportsman. " Alysssa Chang told her, staring at her body.

" Nah, I'll be on the stands, encourage the team. " Aiónia told him with an amused smile.

" It's a shame, seeing you sweating, your muscles burning under the effort..., I'm sure it's a sight I'll like. " said the girl with a cat's smile in the face of prey.

They continued talking just the two of them, Alyssa mostly asking why he was so rarely in her room, to which Aiónia responded with "I sleep and rest very little." With a quiet little smile, the girl said she wasn't coming to the game, she couldn't resist casting a spell on those arrogant little ants at Mystic Falls High School, which brought Aiónia a laugh , Alyssa tries to get Aiónia to promise to come to her room tonight, which Aiónia deftly avoids, so the breakfast ends with the two of them breaking up.

Aiónia walked towards the stadium with Penelope who joined him on the way, Aiónia knowing that she was waiting for him, which the girl would never admit.

" So, are you hanging out with Alyssa Chang? " Penelope asked her her usual smirk.

" Yeah, she's my roommate, she's evil in her charming way, something tells me than you two togethers the Salvator school doesn't stand any chance. " Aiónia told her with his usual smile and his calm voice.

" Oh I did some with Alyssa. " Penelope told him with a sly little smile.

" Hahaha, sure, how could I miss something so obvious, I imagine it must been grandiose. " Aiónia told him with a big laugh.

Penelope didn't answer her but had a big smile that promises nothing good.

"I guess those were the good old days...." Aiónia told her laughing, Penelope laugh to, heading towards the stadium.

When they arrived, they headed for the bleachers belonging to the side of the Salvator School team.

They sat next to the bench of the team, the stadium was filled with a hundred people, half belonging to the Salvatore school, the other motivated belonging to the high school of Mystic Falls.

Dorian was the Coach, in the absence of Dr. Saltzman, the match started, and the Salvator team, was losing miserably, to such an extent that it was ridiculous, the little effort they made was to lose. No wonder Mystic Falls High School 'laughs at them' thought Aiónia.

" Pathetic...it's time to step in. " Penelope said as the half-time whistle sounded. Lizzie , Josie, and the players came back to the bench, they were frustrated and angry to forced to lose.

" You don't have to lose. " Penelope said with a sly smile.

The players looked at each other, wanting to listen.

" What are you getting at." said Kaleb curiously.

" There is a third option... ." said Penelope

"Win without using your powers, Honest and fair." Aiónia said finishing her sentence.

" My father was very clear about this. " said Josie firmly

" Sincerely, we can blame them for making fun of you, they can see it very well that you make no effort, that you purposely lose, respect is an important thing in sport, and you spit in their face. ." said Aionia.

" But we suck, there's Kaleb going up the level, but..." Lizzie said seriously considering the idea.

" There's me too, anyway, I caught up with the pass earlier, didn't I? " said MG with a big smile, which quickly faded when he saw no one following him.

" I agree, let's go show those jesters of Mystic Falls, that we shouldn't have been looked for. " Kaleb said, reassembled thoroughly. holding out your hand

" I follow, I'm going to send that bitch Dana back to her mother's womb to cry. " said Lizzie, with a fire in her eyes.

The players one by one joined hands for the salvation of the team, only Josie remained who did not hesitate long, the team returned to the field more determined than ever.
