Octavia stood in front of the Master's room, but the guards were really not making it easy for her as they had refused letting her in.
"Please" she said to the guards. "I really want to see the Master".
"You can't see him. He doesn't want to be disturbed" the first guard replied.
"Please...Tell him I won't take long. I just want to give something to him" she held the rolled paper firmly to the side of her leg.
"Stop wasting your time, young lady and leave. The Master can't see anyone at the moment. So, leave before we force you too" another replied grumpily.
Geez! Why was he sounding so angry, huh?
Octavia felt disappointed and downcasted. And sullenly, she turned around and walked away.
Khalid had been in the room, and he could tell when he heard Octavia's voice.
He couldn't exactly get what she was saying
💯4 Weeks Later 💯"Come on, Octavia. You need to put in more energy. Come on!" Leo said authoratively as Octavia struggled to use the weight lift.She was breathing so heavily, her muscles feeling so weak."You've been so good at this, Octavia - made serious improvements. But for the past few days... I dont understand" Leo grouse and she sighed and dropped the weight lift, giving up."I'm sorry, Leo. I told you; I...I just feel a little sick" she answered dizily, her hand on her forehead."But the herbs I'd given to you should've worked already. What's wrong?""Don't worry about me, Leo. I'll be fine".There was a brief silence."You should work on the punch bag. I'll be back in a bit" he said and left and Octavia tiredly dragged her legs to the punch bag.She covered her
Octavia was into her very deep slumber when she felt a hand tap her repeatedly."Mmh" she grumbled and turned uncomfortably on the bed.It was Mica."Hey, Octavia. Wake up" she said in a husky whisper and continued taping her repeatedly."What is it, Mica? Let me be" she mumbled drowsily, not getting enough of the sleep."Seriously, Octavia? Wake up now, will you? You've been sleeping for too long already"."What do you mean too long? It isn't upto 30 minutes yet"."Really? I've been home for more than 2 hours now and you've been sleeping since then. So, get up".Octavia felt her head spin. 2 hours??The knowledge seeemed to chase the sleep away as she forcefully sat up. How could she sleep that long? 2 good hours?Goodness?She sighed and placed her han
Octavia stood in the darkness as she knocked on the door.She was catching a little cold and rubbed her palms together, trying to reduce the effect. But damn! It wasn't working. She was seriously freezing.She knocked on the door again and thankfully, Leo opened up this time around. What the hell took him so long, huh?"Hey" his eyes beamed brightly as he held the door."H-hi" Octavia's voice cracked a little."Oh! Please, do come in. Come in".He led her into the room and she took in a deep breath, feeling a little relived from the cold.The dining in the middle of the room was already set. And although, the room was a little dark with just a dim light beaming through, she could still see clearly.Leo locked the door and went ahead to meet her."Please, take a seat"
Octavia could feel her heart beating rapidly, she could hardly breathe."Leo .. Please" she panicked, her hands still on his shoulders.She lifted her hand and attempted a punch on him, but he was fast enough to stop it. Oh God! Of course, he was her trainer. And it was almost impossible to defeat your trainer.He settled deeper into her legs as he spread them apart, almost exposing her pant-less area.She gave out a frightening scream and tried pushing him off with all her strength.It was a violent struggle as she had almost succeeded, but Leo being so strong and too huge for her, was able to pin her down. And in the process, his knee unconsciously hit her belly."Argh!" She gave a high pitched scream when she felt the sharp pain on her lower abdomen. She was muddled, her thoughts were blur as she quickly left his shoulders and took
Khalid 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
