Daniest FC vs Lourdes (I)

'that senile bastard, his close, lovely and overly peaceful associate is a fvcking short tempered god. Who is surprisingly Happy's mom', Lilith cursed heaven and earth as the cold blade of the scimitar caressed he neck with a cold glint.

"so that old senile bastard sent you here, wonder when he will pull off that his stupid bone white mask", Mrs Petra snorted coldly as she saw the teleportation bracelet on Lilith's wrist while the dual scimitar disappeared in a golden puff.

Lilith touched her neck were the blade as she shuddered at the thought of death welcoming her to were ever she is going made her want to puke.

Before she could process what what's going on, she heard Mrs Petra voice from the dinning area.

"Coffee or tea", she asked while gesturing Lilith to seat and be comfortable.

"coffee please", Lilith answered courteously as she don't want to irk Happy's mom.

"then tea it is", Mrs Petra smiled as she served them both tea.

'dafuk, all I wanted was a cup of coffee not tea', Lilith cursed in her heart but dare not to say it loud cause she really do love to know how she died.

Mrs Petra sat coolly totally ignoring the tantrum that Lilith had wanted to display. Slightly tapping the dual scimitar on the dining table, they turned into two cute twins which Lilith estimated to be around nine due to Thier body stature.

"Please come play with us", the male among the twins pleaded with Lilith and his sister followed suit all the while giving Lilith said the puppy eyes.

'oh let me play with you guys, so that you give have the opportunity to kill me because you miss the earlier chance, hell no' Lilith was about to say those words as it came to her but she held herself at the last minute.

"Sorry, I am having tea now but big sis will play with you later", Lilith said while giving them the gaze that says 'please leave me alone'.

"but pinkie swear that you will play with us later", the twin girl said while playing with her bun.

"yes, big sis pinkie swear that she will play with you little angels later", she responded while showing her pinkie but later added in her mind

'so that you two little devils can take my life, why not' she retorted in her mind while getting herself to enjoy the tea she was offered when she had ordered for coffee!

Lilith face distorted slightly as her stomach rumbled in hunger.

'shit, I forgot to pack a little snack and there is no lustful desire for me to feed on', Lilith cursed so loud but in her mind but Mrs Petra looked at her with a slight smile.

"Seems like the girl who has a crush on my son"

"no no, uhmm... You are... Not that I have a crush on him or something but..", Lilith stammered nervously as she heard Mrs Petra words. If the people of her kind hears that she, a succubus, has a crush on someone and not the person lusting after her, then her whole prestige is gone.

"Don't cause havoc while am gone, also when intruders who doesn't mind their business comes knocking, just do to them the usual. Am going to watch big brother soccer match", Mrs Petra said to the twins totally ignoring the tantrum Lilith was throwing.

"But when can big brother see us" one of the twin spoke with a down cast expression.

"don't worry dear angel, the time is nearer than you think", Mrs Petra replied softly as she tapped their heads lightly as they transformed into golden lights but they can't be seen by the mundane eyes and shot out of the villa guarding the perimeter.

Coach Hans walked in confidently to the dressing room, where the his players were waiting for him, with his assistant tagging along beside him.

"Buckets, what is the odd for us getting a draw in today's match" he asked with a stoic expression.

"uhm, sir with the current statistics and our players stats, when comparing it with that of Lourdes our team will have 30 percent of drawing that match but if you consider our starting eleven that you picked..." Buckets explained but his voice trailed off as he looked into his dashboard.

"c'mon, can you get to the point, am looking at what angle to prepare my pep talk to the team" Hans said with mock seriousness.

"If you really want to consider the starting eleven, you can altogether forget about squeezing out a draw in this match. Besides we are bound to lose any way and have our contract terminated, ta-da what a perfect happy ending", Buckets was irritated as he stomped off into the dressing room leaving a stupefied Hans behind while muttering under his breath

'I wonder what Jones gave to you that made those proceed with those stupid signings all the while ignoring the red flags that has been raised, what a stupid man'

"Geez, what a really comforting way to put it. And for your last words, I can still hear you", Hans shouted as he ran after his friend.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"seems that you can't hold that hunger anymore but don't worry I got you", Mrs Petra gave Lilith a sly grin before Lilith could refute her words, Mrs Petra snapped her fingers.

Lilith could only stare blankly as they were no more am the villa but in the stadium's cafeteria! She tried opening her mouth to say something, when she suddenly felt as if a dam in her body broke as lust energy created from the lustful desires of the people there started rushing into her body. This left her in a daze as she quietly sat down by instinct and absorbed the energy calmly.

"Seems that you like it", as she continued sipping her tea.

'humans are really perverts but they can't compare to some certain gods who are overly fertile', Lilith thought when a giggle suddenly escaped her mouth.

"Seems someone has some naughty thoughts in her head, maybe that person isn't fit for my son", Mrs Petra said sarcastically to no one in particular.

"no, no, it is not what you think. I really like your son and I won't him go though it kills me...", Lilith suddenly exclaimed but quickly kept mum when she discovered that she had slipped up and gave out to much information.

"oh really, as far as my son is happy, I don't care if you are a demon or not but you must be pretty", Mrs Petra said nonchalantly while sipping her tea with elegance.

Lilith subconsciously looked at herself and thought to herself.

'can't deny that am pretty'.

"But why didn't you reveal your true form to your son", Lilith asked out of the blue but Mrs Petra continued sipping her tea without giving her a glance as if saying 'it is none of your God damn business'

Few minutes before the match

Coach Hans pep talk...

"Be together this game. Be together until the end," Guardiola said in the tunnel, captured by Man City and released via the club's social media channels

"Be positive in your minds, be positive, be positive in your minds. Rhythm, rhythm with the ball.

"Let the people up front win the game- The king of the left [Hanson], Triple H (i.e Hammer Head of Horror) [David Akpama], Sammy [Samuel Esate] For Frankie[Frank Anyaim.]

"Don't cross to cross, cross the ball with good intention. Stay positive guy. Be together 'til the end. Be together, be together and also believe in yourself, see that guy over there, he is our talisman of miracles [Happy Petra] trust his judgement.

"Let us show them the true meaning of football, let's tell them that we are not a tem to bully or beat as they wish, let's show them that you all, this team and its wonderful fans is the personification of soccer

"thougu we are no longer the reigning champions, that doesn't mean that we should lie down and let them trample and beat us silly, no, she should play as champions, think as champions.

"Champions are no chosen by a crown or trophy but are made, formed, created by their desire to win.

"As we live, till we die..." coach Hans paused for some time then the whole team responded feeling pumped up.

"and as soccer exist, my heart will beat".

Buckets stood at the side while tears flowed down his cheek, it was as if he was watching the master of pep talk at work when he felt a slight nudge at his side.

"are you crying on me now, Buckets", Hans chided

"don't spoil the mood Hans, don't spoil the mood" Buckets responded as he watched the team walk towards the tunnel.

(Oops, I think I modified Pep Guardiola's speech. Hehehe)

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

While they sipped their tea, Mrs Petra phone rang and the anxious voice of her son could be heard the match is starting and I can't see you. Look closer and well, cause am there and I will never leave you.

Lilith looked at Mrs Petra with disdain as she watched how she the of her mom a blatant lie, but was shocked when she heard the loud roar of fans. Lo, she was already at the stadium and the match had kicked off

The analyst table...

My name is Sylvester Alex and my partner is John Huston.

"And it is a beautiful day to play a pre season match, don't you think so John"

"Sure is Sly, but looking at the teams going into the turf now their starting eleven is seems okay and looking at Lourdes first eleven for this match up, it means they are here for business.", John answered.

"Yep, but this match is also a lifeline for Daniest coach Hans Rayburn, looking at where Daniest FC logged at the last season table, one would be justified to say it was really disappointing for the former champions of the central country as they barely survived relegation. Also losing their home and away matches to there long time rivals last season really left a bad after taste in the mouth of the great club", Sylvester spoke flatly, before John continued speaking.

"Ok and here is the starting line-up for Lourdes.

Leroy Jethro, Hamilton Gad, Saul Lennon, James Gunther, Iwa-eni Smith, Faith Mitchell, Ezra Klein, Bonnie Barrett, Smith Lee, Victor Isunguyo and Emmanuel Isunguyo.

And they are using the 4-4-2 formation, with Leroy Jethro at the goalpost, defenders are Bonnie Barrett, James Gunther, Saul Lennon, Faith Mitchell, in the midfield there are, Smith Lee, Ezra Klein, Hamilton Gad, Iwa-eni Smith and the attackers are no other than the Isunguyo twins, Victor and Emmanuel Isunguyo. Sylvester Alex, what are your thoughts on this line up"

"it is a strong and balanced formation, with the likes of James Gunther and Bonnie Barrett at the defence along with Iwa-eni Smith and Ezra Klein at helm of the midfield, this will give the Isunguyo twins to deal more damage to the Daniest defence as they don't need to worry about the defence and they are pretty sure that they will be fed with the ball from the midfield", Sylvester Alex expressed his opinion.

"we have also gotten the line-up of Daniest FC as they start the four youngsters that they had recently signed but what are your thoughts on these Sly"

"Though they are great players with good and clean record, I still don't see them fit for today's match especially Happy Petra", Sylvester Alex said as he scrolled through their stats on his tablet.

"What makes you think so", John asked with a raised brow.

"They got signed from a relatively low league and for Happy Petra this is his first major match and second official soccer match in his life, them being in the starting line-up I have no problem with that because I think the coach wants them to get accustomed to the mentality and style of the major league but I would still prefer them to come in the second half of the game", Sylvester answered.

Standing in the tunnel way, Happy took in a deep breath a he spotted a slight smile on his face and looked at the opposing team that had lined up at their side and said

"today we slay dragons"
