Pyrrha

Pyrrha evaded another straight strike from Weiss that would throw her out of the ring and returned her the favor with a wide sweep of her spear just for Weiss to duck and jump away as Harriet shot at that place with a gun that shouldn't even be permitted to the friendly spar...

Then again, this was not so much friendly spar.

From a young age, Pyrrha was very perceptive of what is right and what is wrong, and as such, Pyrrha was more polite and disciplined than children of her age should usually be.

That wasn't a problem as thanks to her friendly nature and open mindset, she quickly ascended to the most popular and liked the girl in her class, and even the older ones did look up to her.

No, the problem was that with her high perceptiveness, Pyrrha could see that her friends weren't as many friends as they were more of followers, she couldn't speak with them about boys or any other topics that girls of her age liked to talk about as every time Pyrrha said something they just nodded and agreed with her even if they before said different things.

As such, Pyrrha started to become aware that she didn't have friends as everyone said that friends were people that even if they disagree with each other, they would still stick with each other. Still, there was nobody who would disagree with her even if Pyrrha could see in their eyes nothing but lies, lies and lies and lies!

But Pyrrha was raised to be a good girl, so she just continued to be a friendly and happy girl for others to see even if she cried herself to sleep every night.

And as such, that continued until some months ago when Pyrrha, for the first time, saw how cruel children could be.

Pyrrha heard them said that her mommy is criminal and should be under bars, that she is Grimm in human form.

That day Pyrrha run home and saw her mother crying. Pyrrha didn't even hesitate and rushed to hug her.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

Pyrrha asked as she hugged her crying mommy.

"Nothing, my little warrior, mommy fell something to the eyes."

Pyrrha's mommy said, and Pyrrha immediately knew it was a lie, but Pyrrha was raised to be a good girl, so she didn't pry and just hugged her mommy, who hugged her back and was whispering to her ears, 'Sorry, my little one'.

Pyrrha was confused because her mommy was sorry, but she didn't pry. She didn't dare to pry.

But as days continued, Pyrrhas life turned upside down as her 'Friends' avoided her as if she was carrying some plague. Later Pyrrha found out that their parents have forbidden them to speak to her and to avoid her as not to anger some people.

Pyrrha didn't know why and wanted to ask her mother, but when she came back home, she found it almost empty as all of their belongings were gone.

Pyrrha didn't cry.

In later days it worsened as shopkeepers didn't wish for them to enter their shops.

Pyrrha noticed some strange people walking around their home and giving her and her mommy odd glances.

And when Pyrrha found out that her mommy sold even her own trophies, she won when she was in Pyrrhas age. Pyrrha didn't cry even if these trophies were one of her most liked family heirlooms and that just to get money on food.

Pyrrha didn't cry.

And when Pyrrha wanted her mommy to sell her armor and weapon, mommy cried and thanked Pyrrha, but after that, she forbade to her to even think about selling her future.

Pyrrha didn't cry.

One night Pyrrha made a plan that she would secretly sell her equipment to help her mommy, but when the morning came, she was surprised.

Her mommy, who in these days was always sad and scared, was now hurrying and packing the little belongings they still had with a hopeful smile.

"Pyrrha! Dear quickly go wash yourself and eat your breakfast, then go and put on the dress I left on my mattress."

Pyrrha was just dumbly nodded as good girl as she was still in shock from the sudden change.

And after Pyrrha washed herself, ate her breakfast, and put on the last dress, she still had with red roses pattern, and she finally asked her mommy.

"Mommy, whats is happening d-do we going somewhere?"

Pyrrha asked little scared and confused, terrified that they just sold their family house, and confused, why would her mommy be so happy?

"No dear, we going on an interview."

Her mommy said, and then it was just all blur for Pyrrha, and before she was able to get her bearing back, they were already at their destination...

"Pyrrha, if you would daydream in our spar, I will kick You!"

Harriet said as she saw her new friend's face.

Pyrrha, awakening from her memories, dodge in time a bulled from Harriet.

Smiling, Pyrrha jumped and used her shield to block another shot as she sprinted close to Harriet for payback.

"Not that quickly."

Weiss said as she used her semblance and frozen the ground, making it hard to run on.

"Thanks, sis."

Harriet said as she used her 'Semblance'? Pyrrha still didn't know what Harriet's semblance is, but it was very versatile as she saw Harriet change her boots into skates.

"Oh shi-"

Weiss seeing her mistake, was too late to evade Harriet, who, as the sole person, was able to move on ice with such speed delivering a quick kick to Weiss's side.

"Gah!"

Pyrrha saw no other option than to play dirty used her semblance to throw her shield with more speed than was typically capable and hitting Harriet to her sole standing leg and successfully making her fall on her bum.

"Ouch!"

And with that, Pyrrha was the sole standing person in the ring.

"Che, why I thought that was a good idea beyond me..."

Weiss grumbled as she was roling on the frozen floor from the pain in her ribs.

"You are too easy to predict, sis."

Harriet said with a smile rubbing her sore bumbum.

"And who could have thought that you have it in yourself to play dirty Pyrpyr, to attack someone who fights another and from the back too!"

Harriet pouted at the red-headed girl who was now blushing.

"But the big brother said I should never waver..."

Pyrrha said under her breath as she remembered her private conversation with Aegis, who she started to adore as her big brother after he made her and her mommy happy again!

"Che, another one, I swear big brother starting adopting little sisters left and right."

Weiss said with an annoyed tone, but Pyrrha already knew what kind of person Weiss was, so she didn't take it to heart as she saw her lips twitched upwards.

Completely unaware of the strange glint in Weiss's eyes as she mentioned the little sister's part.

"Come on Weissy, you love us."

Harriet said in a cocky tone that she used just when they were alone as she was still very shy in her big brother's presence.

Now that Pyrrha thinks about it, both Weiss and Harriet are very different when their big brother Aegis is present...

Pyrrha stopped thinking about it but secretly promised to herself to ask her mommy about it...

"Girls! Take rest! there is hot tea and snacks for you!"

Hearing word snack, all three of them bolted to their mothers.

Pyrrha just smiled as she finally felt happy...

Aegis, who was looking at that spectacle, just smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

*brrrrrr brrrrr*

Seeing the caller's number, Aegis's smile vanished as he picked it up.

"It is done?"

Aegis asked.

"Yes, everything is as you wished, sir."

The voice said, and Aegis just smirked as he ended the call and looked at his new members of a family.

No matter who and no matter why, anybody who hurt his family will pay, and the families of people who made both Nikos into living hell will now feel the same thing they did but much, much worse...

After all, his little sister Weiss herself said that Pyrrha would be her new sister with Harriet agreed when they heard the Nikos plight.

At that moment, both Alexandra and Pyrrha cried. His mother was holding Alexandra, and the girls were holding Pyrrha...

They let them cry, and then they accepted them into the family.

And who was Aegis not to agree to their wishes? At least now, their mansion will no longer be so empty with new members of the family there...

Aegis just smiled as his plan for revenge for Nikos was complete, but that smile again dropped when he saw another stack of papers on his desk...

Indeed no rest for the wicked...
