I'll Be The One

ACT 5

ACT 5

Katarina sat down on the foot of her bed after she finished zipping the black duffel bag close. She may be dressed in her usual skin-tight leather clothing set, but there was still a towel draped over her damp hair.

As soon as she finished taking a bath, she had dressed up and packed her clothes for tonight's sleepover. She still couldn't believe that she was going to sleepover at a house owned by a person who she's currently on rocky terms.

She still remembers the time that she was rude to the blonde Crownguard, so she is already mentally prepared for Lux to do something to her during the sleepover.

Also, Katarina was surprised that the mafia heiress, Sarah Fortune, is officially invited by Luxanna Crownguard, a child from the prestigious Crownguard family. She found it odd that someone like Sarah is actually on good, and probably great terms, with the hyperactive Lux.

Katarina was in the process of drying her hair with a towel when a bunch of knocks came from the other side of her bedroom door.

"What?"

"It's Cassiopeia!" Her sister called out.

"And Talon." She heard a masculine voice add.

"Come in,"

The door swung open and Cassiopeia practically slithered to Katarina's side, settling herself beside the redhead. Talon, who always has a hood over his head, merely walked in and took the swivel chair near the desk of his sister.

Cassiopeia and Talon are actually Katarina's adopted siblings, but they always got along. Katarina's mother was the one who adopted the two, giving Katarina the siblings she could not have had.

"Where are you going?" Cassiopeia instantly asked, her gaze lingering on the black duffel bag for a moment.

"To a friend of a friend's sleepover."

"Pardon?" Talon tilted his head slightly.

"Do you two remember Sarah Fortune?"

"The heiress of Fortune Mafia?" The two chorused.

"Yes," The redhead nodded. "She invited me to her friend's sleepover since she was given permission to bring a plus one tonight."

"Do you know who her friend is?" Talon inquired, mildly curious.

"Oh, I'm sure you know her." Katarina murmured, removing the towel from her red hair. "She goes by the name Luxanna Crownguard."

"You're going to a sleepover hosted by a Crownguard?" Talon asked in a flat tone.

"The toffee-nosed family we had always hated and despised?" Cassiopeia questioned in half-surprise, before adding an after thought. "I wonder if the rivalry is still ongoing."

"How in Noxus' name is a mafia heiress friends with a snobbish girl from that family?" The two heard Talon mutter.

"Truthfully, I was just as surprised as you both are."

"What time do you leave?" Cassiopeia queried curiously.

Katarina glanced at the wall clock. "In about..."

Beep! Beep!

"Now."

"Who's out there?" Talon stood up and peeked through the window overlooking the front of their family estate, spotting a red BMW convertible parked in front of the gates.

"That, my dear brother, is Sarah Fortune, my carpool for the night." Katarina answered as she tossed the towel to her hamper and slung her duffel bag over her shoulder.
