Chapter 4: Knightly
Tanya smiled at her now-revealed stepsister. Keira looked young with her soft hair and youthful face.
"Good morning to you too, sister." Tanya said with faux innocence.
Keira folded her arms, eyes narrowing. "Good morning? It's nearly evening. And don't play dumb, how did the school even get my number?"
"What's the excuse this time?"
"Why would there be one?" Tanya shrugged, feigning confusion. "I mean, I made sure the school could reach you directly in case of emergencies."
A notification pinged in Tanya's mind.

Keira's face fell into disbelief, a flush rising on her cheeks. "Wait—you gave them my number!?"
"I was in the middle of an audition, Tanya! I could have lost that chance because of you!"
"Could have lost." Tanya emphasized, relishing the look of barely contained frustration on Keira's face.
"But you didn't, so no harm done, right?"

Keira's hand curled into a fist as she stepped closer. "You are so lucky I don't need you right now."
Tanya's raised her hands, fingers wiggling in mock surrender. "Parley!"
Keira blinked, taken off guard. "What?"
"Announcing my surrender!" Tanya held her hands up.
"You're my adorable big sister, you wouldn't hurt your cute little sis, And you love me… don't you?"
A notification flickered across her vision.

Keira sighed, glancing Tanya up and down, her expression softening for just a second.
"Oh, you think you're cute, do you?" Keira sarcastically asks her.
"Isn't it obvious." Tanya gives her a twirl.
Keira's mouth twists into a smile, and without warning, she pounces on Tanya, pinning her down on the bed.
Before Tanya could react, Keira's fingers dug into her sides.
"No!" Tanya tried, but it was too late.
Keira's nails began to dig mercilessly into her ribs, drawing wild screams from Tanya as she struggled under her sister's weight.
"Please, stop!"
"You've been acting like a brat, and I'm here to teach you a thing or two about respect." Keira chuckled savouring every second as she intensified the torture.
This is hilarious. Go Keira! Casey's voice piped up cheerily.
Help me, Casey!
Hahaha, Don't resist. The system helpfully advised.
"Keira, stop! I said parley!" Tanya desperately cries.
"Parley doesn't count here." Keira doesn't have any intention to spare this troublemaker.
Keira shows no mercy, even as her stepsister thrashes, unable to resist.
Finally, between gasping breaths, Tanya blurts out.
"I'm gonna—ugh—I'm gonna pee!"
Keira laughed harder but seeing her sister's disheveled form and utterly defeated posture she finally decided to ease off. Satisfied with the result.
Tanya collapsed back onto the bed, breathless, her face flushed from unbearable pain.

She enjoyed that. Casey's smugness literally dripped from the text.
If Keira had this system, she'd have forced a thousand points out of you by now.
"Now, tell me, sister, Are you going to be naughty again?" Keira wiggles her fingers menacingly
"Or do you need another lesson?"
Tanya quickly shook her head "No, no! I'll behave, promise."
Bully!
Keira stands, giving a huff of satisfaction.
Tanya, however, wasn't done yet, she hadn't even hit a hundred points.
"Wait, Keira." She called, grabbing her sister's hand.
"By the way… what's the audition for?"
Keira jerks her arm free, glancing back with an exasperated look. "Like I'd tell you. Just… something interesting."
"Please, you know I'm your biggest fan." Tanya tries to convince her.

Keira sighed, rolling her eyes as she sat back on the bed.
"It's not set in stone yet, but it's a pretty big role. Maybe you'll get to see my name on a movie poster."
"That's amazing!" Tanya said, her excitement genuine.
"So, what kind of character?" Tanya wants to know what stage of her career Keira is at.
Keira looked down at her, suspicion still lingering on her face, but Tanya could see her sister's pride starting to break through.
"It's for a sports film, and I might have the chance to be one of the lead characters." Keira brags a bit.
"I'm sure you'll nail it. You always do." Tanya said, leaning closer with a grin.
"And when you're famous and rich it'll be your duty to look after me, right?"
Keira gives her an incredulous look.
Keira snorted. "As if. It's not my job to look after you."
Tanya feigned shock. "Of course it is! You're my big sister, who else would keep me out of trouble, even when we're both old and wrinkly?"
Keira chuckled, almost falling off the bed at the absurdity of the idea. "You're ridiculous."

Mission Complete.
Nice job. Casey Snickers.
A mischievous idea sparked in Tanya's mind. She was always an overachiever.
Tanya holds Keira's chin and gazes at her confused eyes.
She leaned in even closer, her gaze locked on. "You know, if you're going to keep looking out for me, I think you deserve some… perks."
Before Keira could react, Tanya pressed her lips against hers, it sent shockwaves through both their bodies.
Tanya let the kiss linger for a few moments longer to enjoy the taste.
Wow!

Keira's eyes went wide as she jerked back. "What was that?"
Tanya only smirked, brushing her fingers to her lips as if savouring the moment.
"Just a little thank-you gift for my future caretaker."
Keira leapt off the bed, her face bright red. "I'm never looking after you, you menace!"
She stormed to the door, clearly flustered. "I'm telling Mom about this!"
As she slammed the door, another notification appeared in Tanya's vision.
Achievement:
Keira Knightley's First Kiss
Reward: Gold Item
Casey chuckled in her mind.
I have a feeling you're going to be very, very entertaining to watch.
