Ezra's PoV

Athena... god that girl knows how to make me hard. She is a tease. When I left her at the dance floor to go have some fun time with the other girls, I never realized what she is capable of. But the next day when she was sneaking out of the room, I knew what she was doing with my brothers the night before. I don't want to share her. I want to keep her all mine for me. But she is a wild one and although nobody can tame her, I want to be one she craves for.

She is getting on me. I can't seem to keep my head straight when it comes to her. Can't stop feeling jealous because she is shared by others. I have never felt this way before. What is the hold she has, that my own powers are taking a toll on me.

Kare's PoV

I want her more than any need I ever had. She isn't a normal girl. As a fallen I have had other demis before but with Athena, I feel wanted and needed. I don't know what came over when I got to know she slept with the others before. My own insecurity took over.

She, on the other hand, handled everything so matured. Made me realize that what I crave for her is more than flesh needs. I want her. I want to be with her. And I know she wants me too. She is the only one, who had ever made me fell the crave for a woman so bad. She is going to be hard to get over..

At the common area

Rett

I have to address the issue. We all know what is happening. With another fallen, we are bound to have problems. All this while, we all had mortals who would fall for one of us more than the other and that person would have them. But with Athena, we all crave for her and she doesn't seem to be falling for just one of us. But I could sense the falling among the bothers.

Although we are not related in any way and we are a evolved fallen species who appeared when mortal started to falter, I could always sense when any one of them had troubles.

Sitting across the table, I talk to everyone while feeling the tension among them. "We cannot fight on this"

"Then what are you planning?" Sam was carefully placing his words for us.

"Have her all for yourself? Ezra was mocking me as jealousy took over him when he continued, "Like you have almost all of them?"

"It's not about me. It's about all of us.."

Liam yawned while scratching his head, speaking. "I can't believe a fallen is making us fight"

True to his nature, Kare defended her. "Speak for yourself.. you don't know what she is.."

Jake too chimed. Seemed like he had placed his pride at bay for Athena, "Yes. Once you have her then you would fight for her too"

"Maybe I am different" Liam scoffed and Zane mocked him.

"Or maybe too lazy to bother.."

"Enough.."

I raise my voice over the commotions, getting everyone to listen to me This is getting way out of hand for all of us. "We cannot be fighting like this. Remember what made us the more evolved among the falls too?"

Everyone nodded and Jake continued, "We stayed together no matter what"

"Exactly.. And we cannot be fighting over another fallen. She is powerful I agree, and she doesn't seem to be falling for any of us.."

"So .. what do you say?" Kare questioned.

The hard decision had to be made. "Either we all have her or nobody does.."

Athena's voice boomed through it. "Wow wow.. and I though woman were suppressed only by weak men.."

Athena

They all look at me while I walk down the stairs. I have heard everything. Well, it stated when I felt all the energies from everyone coming together so I came to see what happened. Seems like they are all fighting over me.

Ohh just lean into your cravings already boys..

"So.. how is the fight?"

Nobody talks. Nobody even moves a muscle. They all hope that I have not been eavesdropping but also that they don't want to seem weak in front of me. "You can talk.. I heard everything."

Playfully pulling a chair I sit, looking at each of them with a smirk on my face. They don't know what fighting for a fallen does. Little do they know that a performance fighting for a fallen god empowers them a lot more than any other thing. We derive powers from the chaos. With a vicious smile, I speak again.

"Don't worry. I am not judging anyone. I just wanted to know, what you all think.."

Rett seems to take command over the situation as he talks, "We are having some troubles with the arrangement.."

"You want me to leave?" with made up puppy eyes I look at everyone.

A unison 'No' was music to my ears. I know Rett senses my play and smirks back.

He walks over, continuing. "No.. we want you to help us with the arrangement.."

"What help?"

Tell me your wish and you shall be granted. But for that you have to fall on your feet and beg to me. Make me feel the power again boys. Do it for me. Rett's voice broke my thought trail.

"We don't seem to get a consensus in being with you.."

"You mean sleeping with me?"

Feeling left out, the envious Ezra spoke the real intention. "And we were thinking, if you object to it, then we won't be bothering you.."

It was clear, what they wanted. "So it's a take all or leave all deal?"

Everyone says a yes unanimously.

"Do you think you all can resist me? If I don't take any of you?"

With greedy eyes, Zane was quick to retort, "We can try. It will be hard but it will be harder for you.."

"How?"

"We are Seven. You are one.."

"I am powerful too.. don't forget!"

Liam said, "We too are. Don't forget that either"

Ahh! The Sleepy seems to have woken up.

"And what about seeing other people?"

Samuel smiles back at me, answering. "However you want it ."

The Proud Jake seemed to have a problem but swallowed his instincts when he said, "We won't restrict whatever is it that is your want."

This is simply for sleeping. I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping with the boys. They made me realize what I was missing all this while. I don't want to stop it. And I am not a human being to shy away from such arrangements. I am a fallen. I can have any sort of arrangement as how I like. Nobody to judge nobody to bother, and nobody to dictate our actions.

"And what about you?"

"Whatever applies to you, applies to us.." Rett said, still standing closest to me.

Contemplating what I want, for now, I tell them a yes to the arrangement without stating the boundary conditions. They are right about one thing. I cannot live in a house with them and not want to have them all.

It applies to them too, but it would be harder for me. And why would I resist something so tempting when I can lean in and enjoy the temptation.

By evening I have decided enough for my brain cells were used up on overanalyzing the situation. Hence I walked out of the house for some fresh air.

Although I have been here for a couple of days, I have not fully seen this place, the so called prestigious magical school. Running into the woods, I keep up my pace. The thoughts of what I talked with the guys take over me while I keep speeding up.

Am I sure, I will be able to handle them all? What will happen when they bring someone else into the house? Am I ready to share them?

Before I could even think of anything else, a huge creature pounces onto me.

What the fuck is it?

I jump back but it was hell bent in attacking me. Without any further thought, I jump onto the nearest branch and climb a tree.

Don't you dare judge me people. I am not a god anymore. I am a fallen. Conserving energy and power is survival 101 for us.

I quickly conjure up my magic trap, tangling the vicious creature bound to it. It reeks of dead bodies and pus.

Ewwww. His oozing horns and goat face wasn't as scary as was the hoofs and claws. The monster that it was, it snorted air and huffed fire. A fir breathing creature wasn't a rarity in my days.

The only problem was that it wasn't this ugly. 

With every step that it took the ground shook. The creature roars louder before using all its force braking the magical bond I cast upon him, thrashing the trunk of the tree.

There we go. Another roller coaster ride. Within seconds of me jumping off the tree trunk, the creature roars wildly, thrashing the whole place back and forth while throwing flames at the trunk.

"Go to hell you monster.."

Using my powers of compulsion and strangulation together, I push back. The creature's shrill roar echoes through the woods, before disappearing.

Panting, I kneel onto the ground to the place where it was present. When I was pushing at it for submission, it felt like I was pushing a wall before it vanished, making me fall face down in the dirt.

"Wow.. never thought you to be the dirt eater"

I look up and see Liam and Zane standing in front of me. Brilliantly, I am covered in dirt for them to make more sense.

"Something.. something attacked me"

Zane laughed, "Yes it did Darling!"

"I swear it did.."

They both mocked me and it was Liam who said, "Yes we believe you" before looking at each other and leaving a loud laughter.

"Shut up. I mean it.."

I lose all my anger at them. What's wrong with these people? I am telling the truth and all they could think of is that I tripped and fell. I am not that clumsy.

Fine. I don't have to convince them. I just have to talk to dad. This place is weird.

Before I leave, Liam holds me, pulling back towards him.

"What" I scoff.

"Look" Liam points towards the ground, where something sticky green gooey thing is spread. He moves to touch it but before he can, it vanishes. "THE FUCKK"

"What.. you have not seen anything green goey thing before?" I was surprised at their rection.

Zane says, "We have.."

Liam looks at Zane. "It's not good Zane.."

Zane nods, "I know.." He turns to me, "Let's go back Darling.."

"Why .. What is it .. tell me.."

He doesn't head to my protest. "Once we reach home, then.. For now you walk."

"Nope. I want to know now."I was attacked by death itself and they want to walk home. "I will move when you tell. Not until then."

Zane looks at Liam who nods before walking towards me and picking me up, throwing me on his shoulders while my head hangs down.

"Put me down you idiot" I struggle to get off his clutch but all I can manage is getting stuck more in his grip. "Leave me now or I will punch you.."

Both of them laugh again while I say this.

That's it..

I start pulling Liam's locks while he yells at me. "Good god woman.. my hair"

"Put me down now.."

They all need to know I am not a fucking pillow to be thrown on their shoulders and be carried around. He puts me down while Zane picks me up now.

"God stop it.." I scream at Zane

"I don't have a problem with you pulling my hair." Intonating his mocking tone, he continues. "Infact I would love some massage. Please go ahead Darling"

God they both are infuriating.

Knowing there is nothing I could do and that all my energy was used up fighting that demon looking thing, I resist the urge to shock him and just hang onto his muscular shoulder while he walks all the way.

Once we reach the house, Zane puts me down and winks at me.

I kick him in his shin.

"Awawww.. what's wrong with you.. "

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you.. I could have walked.."

Liam intervened, "You wanted to stay till you got the answers.."

"Okay .. fine .. Now that I am here, tell me.. What were you both saying.." I resist my urge to fight and give in.

"Don't tell her Li. She hurt me bad."

I tease him, "Aww. Is the pretty boy gonna cry. Run to mommy saying he was beaten by a girl?"

"That's it."

With that Zane picks me up, tossing me on his shoulder, while I, having regained some energy, taser him with my power.

His voice echoes, "Fucking hell woman.."

Walking all the way upstairs, he throws me on my bed, before standing very close to me, not letting me move.

"Apologize to me right now.." he speaks with a stern tone.

I scoff, "In your dreams.."

Liam, who had entered the room too now, says, "Well.. then you are going to have another long night beautiful"
