Athena's POV

I met them. All seven of them. And what every sibling of mine has ever said about them is true. Eye candies and sins who can make any mortal cave to be their slave. No wonder my worshipers asked for forgiveness after falling for these vices.

Now that I am staying with them even I feel the need to have them all. All these men have their ways of swaying me into being with them.

With less and less power each day, it won't be too long before I cave in.

The sound of the ringing phone makes me realize I still haven't informed dad of the latest developments.

"Hello Child.. Are you well?" he speaks with a soft, concerned voice.

"Hello dad, yes I am" and although I am lying about certain things to him, I don't want him to worry.

"Any trouble finding places?" Dad is like any normal human parent when it comes to me. All the questions huddle up together in one go. "And when will the class start?"

My dad isn't the strictest of the God. But being mortal for long, he too is showing signs of a human father. He is now overprotective and stricter than before.
God what I would give to have him in power so that he leaves me alone to enjoy my life.

" No troubles.. In a week the classes will start.."

I can't bring myself to tell him who I am staying with. He will flip out and come get me which I don't want. What I intend to do with the boys is only for my own mind to know. I don't want dad interfering with the plan.

"Good good.. Do tell me child if you need anything else.. You know I won't spare any expense to get you what you want.."

"Prayers.. maybe"

Shoot.. I shouldn't have said that. That hit a nerve in him. It does for me too. Once the proud gods, now we work in the human world.

Dad, thankfully still have references and researchers reading of his verses and poems to keep him going. He draws his powers from them. And the remaining time, he heads the board of Zeus Inc.

Me, on the other hand, sometimes come up in some reference context of Greece. Till men, the mortals bow down to us and pray and offer themselves in our hands, we will remain powerless. And I intend to change that.

"I am sorry dad, I shouldn't have said that"

A sad tone of his comes across. "It's alright. You just said what we all want.."

Hmm

The silence by speaking the sour truth spreads through the rest of the conversation, which remains short.

Once I end the call, I decide to make some food. The rumbles in my stomach isn't going to silence on its own. I walk to the fancy kitchen which looks as one of those things five star hotels have.

Standing and whipping away at the stove, I see Kare.

"Umm.. Hey"

He turns his head around noticing me. His eyes fall immediately onto my shorts and T-shirt. Smiling, he turns completely towards me.

"Hey there Darling.. You look famished"

"I am.. The rumbling in my stomach are equivalent to a tiny earthquake"

His laughter is a full-fledged one with the voice of booming through the kitchen. I notice Kare's features clearly now. More than before. All the boys are devilishly handsome and magnificent at conversation.

I always thought Gluttony would be a fat, immovable kid. One who just eats alot. Seeing Kare, I know that descriptions can be deceptive too. I judged him before knowing him. He is well built and always has a charming smile on his face.

Maybe he is more than what meets they eyes. More than what are written in books.

His soft voice reaches my ear "What are you thinking?"

"Gluttony.. I mean..you.." I fumble around, not knowing what to say. I can't say that I expected him to be fat. That would be just plain rude.

He walks towards me taking my hands and I feel the sensation of craving him for too long. An insatiable sensation.

It's as if he read my thought that he answers exactly what I thought. "I make people crave for things more than they need, more than they want.. Mostly food and immaterial things but sometimes the needs of the flesh too."

He whispers the last words into my ears leaving a trail of goosebumps over my body. He smiles and walks back, whipping away the batter.

"So you are the cook in the house" trying to change the topic from the lingering I did a minute before.

Beaming with pride he smiles and turns around, "Yes I am.. I am always the designated cook."

"In that case, can I have something to eat.."

"What do you want darling?"

Ah.. he called me darling. So adorable. He is so charming. Not that I have interacted with others that well, but Kare makes me feel happy and comfortable.

"Umm.. What's your specialty?"

He gives a full blown Kare signature smile which instantly makes me feel fuzzy inside, before turning on the gas and pouring over battery and working at the station while I adore the sculpted body of his through a translucent shirt he doned.

Within minutes, Kare turns around, putting the plate of mini pancakes on the platform and drizzles it with maple syrup and bacon.

I smile unknowingly, watching the way his hands coordinate while serving the food, making him look like a professional chef.

"What... did I do something wrong?" He looks with concern.

"No.. no.. It's just.."

"What.."

"Adorable. The way you presented the food.." I can't help be smiling at his gesture.

He bows down with a hand gesture while I dig into the food.

"Like it?" waiting for me to answer, he holds back his breath.

As the food swirls through my mouth, the sweet and soft pancake with the crispy salty bacon, I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. I can't help it even if I end up making orgasm noise.

"Love it.. thissss is just amazinggg"

"Thank you.. I always wanted to be a chef"

"Always.."

"Yes"

"You knew always that you would become a mortal, Kare"

I am surprised at his admittance. No fallen would ever confess that he would have been happy, knowing he eventually be a mortal one day.

"No. But I always had a backup. And now that I am a mortal, it's all falling in place"

"Aww Kare Bear.. that's something which only a good man can say"

"Huh.. Kare Bear.. I like it. Call me that from now on.." his face was lit up when he spoke.

"Well I thought of you as a cuddly bear, so the name stays."

After eating, I go back to my bed thinking of the meeting I had with the boys at noon and the one with Kare.

People are too eager to judge us all. I have read books about how to avoid the sins but not many know the other side of ours. The side, which comes from being a fallen. The side that is compassionate and caring.

Atleast that's what I felt while talking to Kare..

The exhaustion gets the best of me while I drift off to sleep. It's only the next morning when the steaming sunlight through the window hurts my eyes that I decide to leave the bed and walk into the common area.

Everyone is assembled there, sitting on their chairs waiting for Kare to serve them breakfast.

Jake grunts before speaking "We are dying Kare.. Hurry up." Jake was too vain even with his order.

"I only have two hands.. Mind helping me speed it up Jake" Kare protests.

"Nope"

I step closer to then before addressing them.

"Good morning"

They all turn looking at me, with their bright smile and happy faces welcoming me to sit. I take a seat next to Jake who ignores me for a while.

Kare looks at me while speaking "Breakfast is done." and with a fist in the air, he first serves me.

"Thanks Kare bear"

Jake and Ezra look at me. Ezra voice takes over the clattering of the plates. "Kare bear.. Are we all getting nicknames" he seemed jealouse that Kare was getting special treatment. True to his nature, Ezra had to intervene.

"Nope. Only Kare bear because he feeds me" I taunt Ezra.

"Come on Princess.. it's only fair we all have nick names" he tries to rile me up again.

Tempting Ezra, but I know why you are trying to do.

Jake seems to be all his usual self, proud and boastful. "Let it go Ezra.. we don't need nicknames"

"Speak for yourself Jake.. I won't be opposed to the idea of having a nickname" Liam gestures his fork towards me while referring that he too likes the idea of a nickname.

I am surprised that the lazy one even spoke.

Rett lets everyone in place with his words, "Let her eat you all."

With that everyone become silent munching onto the food. I realize that Rett is like an elder to all the other brothers who all treat him like the big brother of the family.

Once we finish breakfast, I decide to talk to the boys. It's only fair that I know them a little better having to stay with them.

"Hey Guys.. Can we all talk for a while"

Liam yawns as he ascends the stairs, "I am sleepy."

It takes Rett to pitch his tone and call him, "Liam come back..".

Turning towards me, Rett gestures to the chair "Please have a seat goddess"

"No please.. Athena is fine"

I don't want my roommates to keep calling me goddess, although I won't be opposed to the idea of them bowing down before me at some point.

"As you wish" Rett's face has an unusual smirk while he says that.

Taking a seat, I start first.

"So I was not able to tell you all yesterday.. My admission process had some issues and although the dean assured me that I will get a seat for the semester, I won't have a place to live other than..."

I am stopped midway. Samuel already spoke the rest "to live with us"

"Exactly"

"And you told Zeus and he doesn't have a problem with it?" Zane was curious and was looking for an answer. His greed in knowing what my father thinks was easily readable on his face.

A valid question, if you ask me.

"Nope.. I didn't.. He doesn't have to know everything that his daughter does. And why would he have a problem?"

Zane continues, "Because we heard that Zeus is kinda possessive about his family"

The lazy Liam takes the specific question out of it "especially about his favorite daughter"

I smile at him who uses the word to emphasis my importance in dad's life.

Ezra continue the topic which I wanted to talk about. "So Athena.. Enlighten us.. How did you Greek gods survive but the Roman gods didn't"

"Well for starters, Greeks has orthodox so we had at-least a few followers. For Romans gods, after the empire fell and the Vatican City had more following, their powers reduced and they went into hiding."

Jake boasted, "It's what every article says too".

What is his problem? I am being nice and all he does is enrage me. He might be the pride holder but he doesn't have to be a deuce about it.

"Then you should just walk away and read your articles. Bet the writers know more about gods than gods themselves."

Rett was the first to intervene, trying to calm me, "He did not mean that Athena".. He turned to him, who was already infuriating me.

"Jake.." Rett's voice changes when he shows his change in temperament towards Jake. Trying to change the subject, I talk again.

"What about you boys... How did you manage to be mortals.. I thought the vices never leave mortals"

"They don't.. But new vices took over.. Now people are followers of digital vices, addicted to media and believers of color superiority and war" Rett continued.

"We do get our fuel when the mortals fall prey to any of us" Lazy Liam stated the rest, "but mostly it's the new vices who derive everything."

"So it's sad for both Fallen gods and Vices alike; it seems"

Everyone nods.

I stay silent, not knowing what to say next. It's Samuel who got irritated again and kills the silence.

"How about we all go clubbing tonight.. The classes don't begin for another week and after the talk that we all had, we can all use a distraction"

Jake, Rett and Ezra chime in. "That's more like it.."

Liam being his true self, disagrees. "I don't like clubbing. I want to sleep"

Ezra pulls Liam towards himself, "If you plan to stay in playing your video game, I will bash that thing open"

"Fine I will come too."

Finally, everyone seem to agree for clubbing tonight. I myself need a break. It's been too long since I went out with my siblings. And because they were all Westosand graduates, they could very well handle their fair share of liquor while I stumbled around.

For a change, I have people from my own age group to party.

"So it's decided.. tonight we party" I can't say that without a bright smile on my face.
