2024-10-29 19:42:56Khalid was walking in the dark with his boys when he spotted a lady running.
For a moment, he stopped and watched her, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.
He saw when she stopped running and sat on the floor, cuddling herself up and within the twinkle of an eye, he discovered it was Octavia.
His brows arched a little.
She looked pained, embittered, and he took slow strides towards her.
*
Octavia's eyes were still closed with her head leaned against the wall when she heard some footsteps - not just one, but many.
She snapped her eyes open immediately and could swear her heart stopped beating when she saw who it was.
Wait... Khalid???
Every pain in her body got flushed out as her eyes dilated in shock and she sprang on her feet. Although, the speed she'd used in getting up was out of the world

Octavia could feel her heart rumbling in her chest as she stared at Mica from the mirror, her eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets.If she had something in her hand, it'd have dropped immediately on the floor.She looked at Mica - from the mirror."I... I don't understand" she stuttered."Well, all these can't just be a coincidence, Octavia. The sudden illness, your weight gain, nausea... These are all the signs" Mica replied and sighed.Octavia's hands were already shaking."But I'll buy a test strip so we can run a test and confirm". She added and Octavia quickly turned to look at her."B...But, I had taken the pills, right? I had asked you to get me the pills and I had taken them...""Yeah. But you were 24 hours late, and you didn't take the pills all the time he had sex with you".&

Octavia sat anxiously in the room, her hands sweating beside her.She tried so hard to control the anxiety; tried so hard to stop herself from shaking, but she couldn't.Tears rested on her lids at the thought of being pregnant but wanting to flush the child. The whole thing was still like a dream to her.She sniffed and lifted her hand to her tummy, holding it tight.Well, perhaps, Mica was right.First, she couldn't bring herself to face Khalid and tell him she was pregnant. Secondly, she didn't think she was ready to become a mother. Hell! No way. She had no experience and wasn't in the right environment.Thirdly, Becca...How was she so sure Khalid would even want a child from her after she had killed his first child? And even if he did, what about Becca? Something in her guts told her the witch was never going to be at peace if she ever

Getting home with Mica, Octavia laid on the bed to rest and await the pains - the contraction.As she laid downwards on her tummy, she could feel tears threatening to spill her eyes, but tried real hard not to let it drop.Mica sat beside her and took her hand into hers."Octavia.." she called calmly.She didn't need glasses to see through her sister's pain - brokenness."I'm sorry you have to go through this" she added.A few seconds of silence passed, then Octavia asked:"Does it hurt...really bad?"Mica's jaws dropped instantly, but no - she couldn't bring herself to break in front of her sister."Well...yeah, it does" she sighed.There was a pause."How does it feel?" Octavia asked, her voice sounding so timid.Her hand was still in Mi

Standing in front of Khalid's room, the guard knocked and after sometime, Khalid's voice replied:"Let her in and leave".The guard opened the door and ushered the nervous Octavia in, while he shut the door afterwards and left.Octavia's hands were almost shaking beside her as she walked into the room and met Khalid in front of the window.Smoke was emitting from his corner due to the pipe he smoked and at a point, they almost made Octavia choke.She squeezed her eyes tight due to the smoke but when she felt Khalid turn to look at her, she quickly pushed them open."G...Good evening, Master" she greeted mildly, her heatt playing rhythmetical beats.She couldn't recall the last time she had been in this room, and having to be in it at this moment was really making her nervous."Octavia" he called gruffly as

Octavia could feel all the blood draining from her body. Her legs grew so cold and shook slightly as he turned away from her, walking back to the table.Good lord! He was really gonna do it? Even with how pale she looked? Because she was pretty sure her pallid mood should be obvious enough.With shaky hands, she took off her remaining dress and walked to the neatly arranged bed.She climbed on it, laying flat on her tummy. And as she did, she felt a little pain on her lower abdomen.Khalid emptied his drink and turned around to behold the prepared sight on his bed. He was pleased with it.He took off his shirt and took steady strides towards the bed to meet her.The bright lights in the room suddenly went off, leaving just the bright ones. And Octavia could clearly hear the Master's footsteps. Oh! They were scaring the life out of her.

Khalid stopped abruptly, his eyes in-between her legs.Octavia was already drawing her breath, finding it so relieving he'd stopped.Oh, goodness!Did she just say soemthing? Did she just spill the truth?Oh! Octavia! No. Octavia!"Octavia..." He called gruffly, his eyes still resting in between her legs, his brows furrowed in confusion."Why're you bleeding?"Octavia was a little shaken at the question.Bleeding?? She was bleeding??God! No.She gasped and withdrew from him since his hold around her had already lessened as well.Then, she looked down to her legs and saw the little stain. God! No. No."Octavia?" Khalid called, his single word containing so many questions.Octavia could feel it.&nb

Master Klaus was having a drink in his room when one of his boys came in, bearing goodnews. "We've gotten the girl, Master" he said and Klaus' cheeks got heated up instantly. "Perfect" he mumbled and poured himself some more drink. "Where's she?" "She's in the empty room - still asleep" "Good job. When she's awake, you let me know". "Yes Master". And the guard bowed and left. Klaus chuckled and drank from his glass, feeling so delighted with himself. Shortly, the door opened and Madagascar walked in. Madagascar- one of his trusted boys and the same person that had helped him with the arrow on Khalid. Tho, it didn't work out. "Madagascar" he beamed. "I've heard the good news. Octavia's in our custody"

Khalid was still motionless, didn't say a word as he listened to the call.Klaus couldn't hide his surprise any longer and scoffed."Are you even listening to me, Khalid?" Anger was cohorent in his voice.Then, Khalid breathed out and finally said: "you must be a fool Klaus, to think I'd ever such a thing. Stepping down for you - is something I'll never do even in death".Klaus vibrated in anger and mockery all through but tried all he could not to let it show."Well..." He sighed and said. "I'd have killed her right away, since your decision is already made. But then...she still has 12 hours to live. So, I'll keep that promise. Bye" And he dropped the call.Khalid clenched his fists as he brought the phone down from his ear and turned around to face the balcony.He could feel it - that anger. But it was something he was

"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.

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
