LXXVII ||| Six-Sixty-Six

The second we came inside, Shameless by Camila Cabello played.

"Bloody fucker," I cursed with a grin.

Oliver kept his hand possessively on my waist, "He must want one more black water bath," he grinned at me when we shared a look. "This song brings me back so good memories, doesn't it, babe?"

My cheeks are definitely red, "Oh yeah?" I looked away, licking my lips and gulping my hunger for him that's only getting worse. "Didn't you said it was just 555 kids? I see more than that in here!"

"111 juniors brought tickets while you were out," Felix grinned like a wolf, looking amazing in his all-dark-green ball suit. "Looking hot you two," he gave us an indecent look.

Just like that, all the members of both our teams popped up and all but surrounded us, including my siblings. All giving us the dirtiest of the looks. And of course, Rio was the first one to speak, "Wow, look at that. Here we thought you would be killing each other."

"Oh?" Oliver giggled. "She actually tried. You should have seen the destruction she did on my dorm with her destructive power."

I glared at him, "You also came me with killing intent!"

"Of course, I did. I was furious. And that was the only way to go against the away you straight up attacked me with magic, daggers, katana, and you super strength," then he looked at the others. "I have no idea what the hell Hel used in there, but she destroyed a wall and the bookshelf on it. Not to mention her exploding all the glass stuff in there, windows, mirrors, and all!"

Rolling my eyes, I glared at Rio, "Cotton candy baby blue hair, I see what you did just now. You're luck I'm in a good mood, or I would be glad to dirty your dark blue suit with my kindness."

He flashed his fangs in a grin, "Oh yeah? How did you get her to be in such a good mood after she almost killed everyone in class?"

Oliver put on that damned smug, "Just did what I know she loves."

"Little fanged bitch, you better keep your pretty mouth shut."

"Oh, I like that nickname," Felix beamed.

I chuckled, "Yeah? Cosmos calls him that. That and walking-pain-in-the-arse," I turned to River who had the biggest of he grins on and looked genuinely happy. "He calls you cute-but-bites."

That made him laugh, "Aye, at least I'm cute."

"Cosmic arsehole," Oli groaned.

Yumi gave me a dirty look, "Does Cosmos knows?"

"That I'm dating his daughter?" He grinned. "Oh, yes. He knows and he hated it. Though he only hates that it's me, and is happy that Hel is dating. He said she needs to live. Oh, by the way, you guys who are on her team better sweat, he'll come look on you in five days."

When all of my twelve kids gasped, I elbowed the bastard, "He's just sour that even Cosmos believes I'll win, given that he's the only one who actually knows all I can do. But you guys don't need to worry, I'll take care of you, and you will be badarses at the end of this. We have time on our side," when I winked, they all blushed. Weird. Am I really hot?

["Oh, yes, you are!"] Jack popped up in a black tie.

"Jack," I beamed. "Are you okay?"

A nod, ["Yes. You look well. How was it with fangs?"]

That made me laugh and by how Oliver gasped, he could definitely hear him now. "Good. No need to worry. We did almost kill ourselves, but we are fine now. Fighting is healthy."

"Oh, yeah, super healthy. If fighting with you always ended like that, I'll be open to doing it every time!" Hah.

Annoyed, I used my telekinesis to propel him to the other side of the ballroom, making everyone look over in our away. "Bastard." Then I turned to the others, "So?" I showed them my back, "This is my true form, what do you think?"

They all gasped, "Oh my Goddesses!"

"We have that on our team?" Kalisha gasped. "We'll win!"

"We are definitely winning!" Noah, her twin added.

Winking, I turned around and showed them my tattoos, "They are all good now, you can look. Oliver chose this dress purposely to show me around, that nasty bastard. But it's amazing." They looked at me in awe and surprise. A mix of seeing all of my tattoos and scars. "And," I exclaimed excitedly, pointing at my feet, "I'm tall tonight!" I beamed with a huge smile I don't use so often, and they all chuckled.

"Still shorter than all of us, though," Rio added.

I glared at him, "Want my kindness again, blue fangs?"

He seemed surprised, "Blue fangs? Ah, I was already used to the 'Cotton candy baby blue hair' nickname," he pouted.

"Bitch, I'm so looking forward to kicking your arse in 7 days!"

Blushing, he hugged Irene, "Babe, protect me."

And she burst out laughing, "We are looking forward too, Hel."

I took in her silk midnight blue dress and black heels, "Looking hot tonight, glassy," I licked my lips and she also blushed. "You all are." Then I stopped my eyes at my siblings who had an anxious smile on, and all the others tensed up, specially Kalisha and Melvin. "No need to be scared of me tonight, kids. I won't do anything to you. But you have your brother-in-law to thank for that."

Winking, I propelled myself with my telekinesis to fly up and land where Oliver was waiting for me, all eyes on me again. In their eyes I saw awe, surprise, fear, shock, and even anxiety. As I did, he enlaced his arm on my waist again, "That was a good first step," he said, as he definitely heard me with his vampire hearing.

"Yeah, but I have absolutely no idea of what do now."

He crunched his nose softly, "We'll work on it!"

Then Mia popped up in the center, very near to where we are, the lights on her and she had a microphone in hand, do I have a feeling she did not need one at all to begin with. "Finally, we can begin, as the star of the night is now here with us. Come here, darling!"

"Here we go," using my wings this time, I flew to her. "Hi again."

She winked at me with a soft smile on, "You look stunning as hell, Hel," that got a laugh from most of the kids present, while I simply rolled my eyes at the silly joke. "I see that my pupil did a good job on making you look the part and match with him," then she asked for my hand with her free one and I gave her without a second thought.

Let's not anger a possible literal Goddess.

But she surprised me, as she stood taller than me as usual, the she twirled me to se my look, and stopped me with my back turned to there others. "Kids, you see this tattoo on Hel's back? Well, this is a portray of her true form," then she turned me again, holding my wrist with the team leader emerald bracelet on, "and you will be able to see it, like everyone else in here, for the first time in millennials, in the tournament in seven days, as Hel will be the Captain of one team, while her boyfriend, Oliver, the sole-standing winner in a 10-year streak will be the Captain of the other."

Okay, throwing me to the wolves. Awesome. Thanks, Crone.

As she signed for Oliver, he faded to stand on her other side, with his wrist containing the ruby bracelet up, "You've seen these two against each other, haven't you?" Came a communal agreement, though all the arseholes in our teams agreed way too loud. "Then you know it'll be quite the legendary combat after 10 years of Oliver winning against everyone!"

"And I'll still be winning again!"

I gave him a death glare, "The fuck you bloody won't. I've told you before, your crown will be mine. I'm winning this, and I'm also kicking your arse, again."

He winked, "That remains to be seen. And I kicked your arse too, babe. It was an even fight. Ended on a tie!"

"That was not a tie," I mocked. "But alright, think whatever the hell you want, little fanged bitch," I grinned and he grinned back at me.

Mia choked on a laugh, "As you all can see, these two are intense as the burning circles of hell, right Hel?" Again?

I scoffed, "Those jokes are getting old, Mia, you will be showing your age," everyone else gulped, but she burst out laughing, and I know she would. Of course, she would. She adores me.

"Your honesty baffles me every time, dear. I love it."

As I said. "I know you do," I winked at her.

"Uh," came a interruption from the other kids and I turned around to see Agatta Rodriguez, the one in the 26th spot of the school, 27th with me here, and the heiress of the black panther shifters, also she's from Spain. With tanned skin, light brown eyes, waist-length light brown curly hair, and full lips. She's using a long black dress tonight, with naked shoulders but long sleeves covering her arms. She's strong, I can tell.
