"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 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.
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
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.&
"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
She panted as she ran speedily across the street, the armed police men chasing after her like a wanted criminal.She was breathing so heavily, her bag hung around her neck and dangling in the air.Unfortunately, she stumbled over a stone and fell on the floor, hurting her arm In the process."Ah", she winced as the pain niggled at her.Remembering the cops were after her, she jumped on her feet so she could resume running, but a bullet flew above her head and she froze."Don't move!" A voice yelled."Hands in the air!""Now!"She folded her lips and lifted her hands above her head. She could feel them coming close from behind."Interlock your fingers behind your head and get on your knees" another said.Their guns were all pointing at her."I have
Mica took Octavia away from the scene, far away to her room which she shared with one other lady.As soon as they got in, she whacked the door close and stood face to face with her sister."Octavia" she called breathlessly and pulled her in a hug.Oh! She's been longing to do that.Octavia sighed as she received the warm hug. She's missed being in her sister's arms.They hugged for a long time before disengaging."How've you been? How's dad?" She asked and Octavia nodded quickly."He's fine".Mica smiled and took her bag and as she opened it, Octavia took out time to run her eyes round the room. It was a little small, but comfy."Where did you get this money?" Mica asked quickly as soon as she found the bundle in the bag."I stole it" she shrugged and Mica scoffed.
Mica turned back to face her sister, her face looking more etiolated."Octavia please" she said bleakly. "Leave while you still can".Octavia shook her head lightly, indicating her decision still stand. She was determined to stay.Mica scoffed and turned around. She winced and went through a lot, trying to control her emotions. Then,, she turned back to look at her sister."Try not to look him in the eyes when he's talking" she said hardly."No matter what, be polite. Mind your words. He kills at the slightest annoying thing, Octavia" her voice had almost broken at the end."Are you sure you're ready for this?" She asked and Octavia nodded slowly.Mica finally gave up when she saw the determination in her sister's eyes. She could see two things: determination and fear.With a deep sigh, she turne
Khalid stepped away from the door and went to stand in front of her. Octavia was almost shaken, but tried her best not to look at him"You really are so determined, aren't you?" He asked softly,,his eyes on her face, while her eyes stared at the floor."Mica" he called without raising his voice.His dark eyes were still glued to Octavia's face."Yes, Master" Mica rushed over and bowed.There was a short silence. Then, he said:"Bring her to the hall at exactly 9 p.m.""Yes, Master" Mica replied immediately and taking one last look at Octavia, he turned and walked away.**"Octavia, are you sure about this?" Mica asked as they sat in the room together."You can still leave if you want to. I can talk to one of the guards to convince the master",Octavia just stared keenly at her and suddenly lifted
