Her legs shook as she stared at him. What's was doing there??
No; she wanted it to be a dream. She badly wanted it to be a dream.
The dope opened immed and she turned in fright to see it was her sister.
She didn't know if she was to feel relieved at that moment, or more terrified.
Mica paused at the door and her brows furrowed as she stared at the broken glass on the floor. She was surprised
She looked at her sister who was almost shaken and asked: "what's wrong?"
Octavia turned to glance at the window and saw the Master walking away with his guards - and him
"It's...its nothing. Um...the glass just slipped from my hand. I'll clean it up" Octavia gibbered a reply.
Mica walked closer to the window to have a look and she saw exactly what her sister was seeing, but in a different way. <
It was the dawn of the day.Octavia's sound sleep was disrupted by a knock on the door.Mica had been in the bathroom and couldn't come out to get the door. So, Octavia had to do it.The knock persisted and she groaned as she left the bed, walking towards the door.Her eyes were a little heavy, but she forced herself to get to the door and when she opened it, it inconvenienced her to see it was Moscow - her supposed trainer.His face fumed."What the hell took you so long to answer the door?" He asked raucously, but Octavia didn't reply."I'm talking to you" he said again and Octavia lowered her gaze and replied:"I was sleeping".He chuckled and gawped at her."You have fifteen minutes to get dressed. Your training begins immediately" he scra
Mica came out of the cab and walked to the other side of the road to meet her - Yvonne.She was walking tho and fro, a litted cigate in her hand."The f**k, Mica. You kept me waiting for too long. Do you think I'm a statue?" She grouse as Mica got close."Take some chill pills, Yvonne. I'm sorry, okay? Got hold up in traffic", Mica replied with an eye roll."Fine! So, what's this about? You said I was important?" She asked and Mica looked around.Yvonne was a close friend from another and she felt she could trust her."Yeah...I need your help, Yvonne. I...I need you to go somewhere with me" she said."Somewhere? Where's that?"Mica licked her lips. She could trust her, right?"My sister suddenly showed up at the clan and insists on staying. She's so determined but I know she's hiding somethi

Moscow grabbed Octavia roughly by the hand and started leading her out of the room.He couldn't wait to see why Khalid was going to do to her. He was definitely going to punish her. Definitely.Although, he was a little angry he'd interfered in his plans of drilling her, but he decided to wave it aside and watch what happens next.Octavia, on the other hand, was patently panicking as they headed for the room.What was he going to do to her? Did she disobey him again?Oh! If only she had known. But she had no idea he was watching. She had no idea at all.They finally got to the room and Moscow pushed her in, roughly.Khalid was facing the table, opening a bottle of wine."You can leave, Moscow" he stated calmly and Moscow's eyes dimmed.Huh? He'd thought he'd be punishing her in f
Yvonne - Mica's friend - knocked on the wooden door, but there was no reply.She adjusted her bag round her wrist and knocked again, but there was still no response. Was anyone even at home?She looked around and knocked again and finally, someone opened up.It was a woman and with her description, she guessed it'd be Mica's step mom."Hi. Good day ma'am" she said with a smile while the woman stared uncomfortably at her."Yeah. Good day. How can I help you?" She asked with a look from her head to toe.Yvonne hesitated for a little, then asked:"Um....This is where Henry lives, right?""Henry?" The woman repeated."Who's Henry?""Henry. You know? That black chubby man. He told me lives here".The woman shook her head negatively."I don't think you're i
Yvonne walked back to the spot where Mica was waiting for her and as soon Mica spotted her, she left where she was seated and ran to her."How was it?" She asked anxiously, her eyes reflecting her desperation.Yyvone placed her hand on her waist and sighed."I'm not sure I got exactly what you wanted, Mica. Your step mother was too secretive and wouldn't utter a word about it" she replied."Damn it! Don't tell me we came all the way here for nothing, Yyvone!" She said angrily."Stay calm, will you?" Yyvone scoffed"Anyway, like I said, your mother wouldn't utter a word about it. But your step sister said something that was quite interesting."When I had asked if they had a step daughter, the little girl suddenly said she had a step sister."Your step mother countered her immediately and it was more like she didn'
The sound of the rain was so heavy, it hit hard against the window. But Octavia loved the weather. She loved how cold it was.She laid on the bed, trying to get some sleep while Mica stood facing the window, smoking.Long minutes passed and finally, Mica put out the cigarette stick, left the window and went to sit on the edge of the bed where Octavia laid."Sit up, Octavia. We need to talk" her tone was strict.Octavia could tell when he sister was serious and when she she was joking and at this moment, she knew her sister had something extremely important to say.Although, she felt so dizzy, her eyes were overly heavy, but she forced herself to sit, drawing the blanket to herself.Mica allowed a few seconds pass before speaking up."I know you're running away from someone" she began.She sat in a way Octavia cou
Octavia had woken up the next morning to find herself still lying on the bed.Oh!! That was when it dawned on her. She had really slept on the bed. She slept on Khalid's bed!!!She flinched and sat up immediately, taking a look around. Khalid wasn't in the room. Where was she?Hold on...how could she be sure she hadn't slept on the bed without his permission?Ah!! Of course, not. She could still remember vividly. Khalid had been the one who gave her the offer. Yes, she couldn't forget.She was about stepping out of the bed when he asked to spend the night since it was raining. So, she was sure she was safe.She decided to leave the bed so she could get her clothes from the floor and that was when she discovered she had a great problem with her legs. Oh! Damn, she couldn't walk! She couldn't walk!She crumpled her face in pains and managed to set he
"My baby... Khalid!" She wouldn't stop whining and Khalid, being the first of it's kind, could hardly comprehend what to do.Could it be possible it was time for delivery? Then, she needed to be taken to the hospital, right?She was still standing with her legs spread apart, like she was scared to bring them together or something."Octavia...Come here. Come here" Khalid cooed as he drew closer to his chest and wrapped his hand around her."Khalid...!""Santa? Draco? Who's there??" Khalid calmed out and the door opened immediately, revealing Santa."Mast...""Get the car ready! Now!" Khalid cut him off with a command and without hesitation, Draco turned and ran off.Octavia was still whimpering, fidgetting with Khalid's shirt and suddenly, an unexplained pain like ménstrual cramps hit so
Khalid turned slightly to look at Octavia, then turned back to face the judges."Really?" He scoffed. "And did you ever stop to wonder what the reason behind her actions was?""Whatever the reason, Khalid, it doesn't matter anymore. She broke a rule and must be punished for it". Another answered."Speaking about rules..." Khalid bent his head and moved a step. "only the current leader can".Master Klaus stared at him suspiciously."If that's what you want" one of the judges replied and turned to the Next man beside him."Get Tha...""Thaddeus stopped being the acting leader the moment the elections started. His tenure's expired already and right now, we don't have a leader to pass a judgement. So... I'd suggest you move on with the coronation and give us a new leader already" his lips pushed slightly with a smirk.&
Octavia laughed hard as Khalid twirled her around in his arms. She clutched him tight, holding onto him like her life actually depended on him."Hey..." Khalid cooed and managed to put her down on her feet, then cupped her chin in his hands."You did it" Octavia muttered, staring directly into his dark eyes."You're alive"."No. You did it" replied answered with a light smile and crashed his lips on hers.It was a snogging kiss, tempestuous and breathtaking.Khalid's hands were still cupping her cheeks, while she moved here to his shoulders and held him tight.The flavors of their tongues were exchanged and when Khalid purposefully give her bottom lip a hard bite, she couldn't help but give out a light moan."Octavia..." Khalid paused the kiss and whispered into her lips."What
Octavia opened her bleary eyes on the bed, her hands fisted, and her back ache."Hey" she heard a voice call and turned her head slowly to see Sapphire sitting close to her."You're awake. How're you feeling?"Octavia arched her brows and tried recalling what had happened.Sapphire...She'd cut her wrist open, but Octavia was able to save her. And afterwards, she felt so weak and passed out."Octavia, can you hear me?" Sapphire cooed and touched her arm and Octavia forced herself to sit up.The memories of what had happened came flashing into her head; how she'd acted so crazy, attacked Master Zack...Goodness! Did she really do all that???And Khalid? Was he awake already? How would she know?Her hand went slowly to her tummy, caraasing the flat surface.
"Khalid?" One of the men called as they moved closer to him.They looked so surprised. It wasn't a dream, was it?"You're awake?"Khalid closed his eye lids shut, then opened them again. Where the hell was he?He looked around, the soft feel of the bed feeling familiar. And tbe voice he'd heard....The only thing he could feel at that moment was weakness and emptiness."Can he hear us?" One of the men asked and slowly, he turned his head to look at them.Some boys were in the room as well, holding a white sheet. Despite the fact he couldn't remember, he had this strong feeling that soemthing big had happened.How come he's alive? Because he's pretty sure he was so close to dead, if he wasn't already.He fisted his hands and forced himself to sit up, his entire body aching a lot as
Octavia stopped Immediately, turning back to look at her.Her eyes were heavy and red.Sapphire bent her head and wept more, her fingers sinking deep into her ruffled hair."I.... I had no idea" she whimpered, her voice cracking feafully."I had no idea Khalid was behind it, Octavia. All those while...I thought it was Tabitha".Octavia watched silentlyShe could recall the pains in Khalid's eyes when he narrated the story to her the previous day. The pains that'd hurt her terribly."For so many years,I harboured nothing but hatred towards him, thinking he was just like his father" Sapphire continued."And when I heard of the terrible things he's done in the clan...""Khalid didn't chose to be what he is today" Octavia cut in gruffly, taking a step closer to her."He grew
Octavia panted heavily as she ran towards the road, her right arm bleeding profusely.It'd been a rough journey getting out o the camp as she had to hurt herself trying to sneak her way out.But one thing was for sure; if they ever get to lay their hands on her, she'd definitely be dead. Definitely.What she did to Zack was totally off limits and had the death warrant. But hell! She didn't care as Khalid was more important to her at that moment.She got to the roadside and boarded a cab to her destination even if she had no fare with her."Take me to St. Thomas Street. Hurry!" She yelled at the driver who took off immediately.**Mica was lying quietly on her bed when one of her room mates rushed in with deep breaths."Mica! Mica!" She called. "Can't believe you're sleeping. Do you have any idea what your sister's been do
The rise and fall of her heavy chest was so obvious as she marched angrily towards the block.Her head wasn't straight, normalcy was very far from her at that moment.Octavia walked indefatigably to the block and met the guards outside the door."Hey; where do you think you're going?" One of them asked as he blocked her way.The lines around her eyes were so red as she glared hard at the door."I need to see Zack" she stated bluntly.If the boys were people that knew her, they'd have known her voice was sounding deadlier than it used to."You mean...Master Zack?" Another chipped in, correctibly, but Octavia didn't reply."What do you want with him?""Just let me in. Its important" she glared."You need to be specific, young lady, cause we've got no time f
The following morning...Octavia had woken up to behold two eyes staring directly at her - two dark eyes. They were eyes she was familiar with, but that morning, something was different about them.She adjusted lightly, registering the fact that she was still nãked because she'd slept that way the previous night."Khalid..." She called lightly.She couldn't understand why he was just lying and staring at her."Good morning, Master".Khalid didn't say a word but only continued with the stare and fpr a moment, Octavia cringed. Hold on; shouldn't they be getting ready for the coronation already? It should be happening shortly."How're you feeling?" He finally asked and for the first time since she met him, Octavia could detect some weakness in his tone."I'm.... I'm fine. And you, Master?" She replied, but Khalid only respo
