Asteria's POV
I wake up with a loud bang at the door. Tipically, why can't people let me sleep? 
Don't they have their own life to mind? Or other people to annoy? 
I burry my face deeper in the pillow, hoping that whatever devil wishes to die today will disappear trough the same hell-hole they came trough. 
The noise stops for a few seconds, before it begins again, this time more energetic and louder. "Go away!" I scream sleepily. 
When I had enough, I stumble from bed and pick up the knife I always sleep with under my pillow. It's a silver thing with a long blade and tiny diamonds encrusted at the sheath. It was gifted to me when I was 11,and since then, I carry it every where. 
Although today I may 'loose' it in someones neck. 
I press the handle slowly and crack the door just a few centimetres,the knife hidden behind my back."Morning love." 
Great, just great. I mumble something that may or may not have been a curse for him to fall down the stairs, and I slam the door back. 
These people are just everywhere. 
I make my way to the bed, already dreaming at a longer nap and that super comfy pillow I was given. Secretely, I'm so glad that the people who found me are rich. Plus, I still kept Nyx's wallet(just as a emergency). 
The bang starts again, and this time I am really prepared to murder someone. And not just anyone. The fucking bastard. 
Now, instead of gently opening the door, I pull it suddenly and push the male against the wall. My knife it's at his neck, one hand pressing against his chest.
"Listen here, prince.I am not a morning person and back home I killed every single servant who dared to disturb my beauty sleep. It would be a shame to get rid of your pretty head,wouldn't it?" My voice comes out sharp at the begining, but at the end I smile sweetly and talk like a really innocent person that I am. 
" Just wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready,but now, I got a compliment from you. "I furrow my brows in annoyance at his stupid grin and press the blade deeper into his flesh." When did I ever complimented you? "
I startle when his breathing brushes against my ear, a small river of blood already dripping on his shirt." Hm, 'pretty head', remember?" 
I push him aside and press the tip of the knife against his chest, right above his heart."Hm, I don't remember saying this." I smile innocently, already fantasising about stabbing him. Yes, I would be very happy to do so. 
" Don't worry, I do. "
An image with me dressed in pajamas and wild hair appears in my mind, the flashback seen trough his eyes." It would be a shame to get rid of your pretty head, wouldn't it?" 
The flashback ends and I hope that my cheeks are not as red as I feel them. Cauldron, this can't get any worse than this. "Take a shower and put some fancy clothes on, love, your beauty sleep didn't had so much effect."
He winks at me before winnowing and leting me alone in front of a door and with a dead wish. 
I stare at myself in the midnight mirror, brushing my hair out of my face. I took a bath in the ridiculous big tub, but I guess that when you have wings that big, everything needs to be huge. 
I was dressed in a pale-cappuccino costum, with a short top, baggy pants and a long open sweater. The necklace I still had around my neck doesn't quite fit with the whole look, but I don't trust anyone here enough to take it off yet. 
By the time I make my way down at breakfast, my stomach squeaks with hunger. I push open the silver doors and step inside, with a huge smile on my face. 
"Morning!" I say to everyone gathered there. I am greeted by a chorus of 'morning' or 'hey', and from Dion only a roll of eyes.Now if I look better around the room, here are only children. Well, if you could name a 100 years old person a child-never mind, you can, Nyx remaind at the baby stage. 
"Where are the others?" I make my way across the table, not meeting Nyx's eyes and grabing a croissant from his plate. I take my place next to Daiana and her twin, waiting for my answear. 
"They all have meetings to atend to, so we have the place just for us for 24 hours." Daiana responds while she greases a slice of jam with bread."We're going clubing tonight." 
I nod and start picking pastries from the table, and at the end I had something that would most probably kill anyone only due to the calories. Oh, well, shit happens. 
"Just the 4 of us, or...?" I ask trough tiny bites. "The 4 of us and some of our friends. They wish to meet you." Dion finally looks in my direction and I give him something like an smile. I don't know, it may came out as a grin.
"Your and Nyx's friends." His twin mumbles.My fork drops and I stare at Nyx with amazement. "You have friends?" 
By the pancake he stabs a little to hard, I consider that my mision is complete and I succesfully annoyed him. A tiny payback for the way he woke me up. 
"Don't worry, Daiana, sweetheart, their friends are my enemies and those who you hate are people I also hate.Now, let's go and get ready." 
I rose from the table and pick up a choocolate muffin for the road. "I'm planning on making decision I will regret in the morning." 
I grin at the female which now walks next to me, and she does the same. "Me too, sis, me too." 
I want to apologise if this chapter was too short or too boring, but I literally waited for ages to get to club scene. Things may get hot between Asteria and Nyx😏
Anyway, thanks again for reading,and please comment any grammar mistakes and your thoughts. 
I will write from Nyx's POV for Once in a while, because it's just to hard to write from a man perspective😭. 
Love you all💜
