CHRONICLES OF LAURA

   **LAURA'S POV**

I was sitting in my dark room when I heard voices outside the wooden door. Some girls were whispering to themselves, very loudly, and I didn't like it. They must've left their blocks and came down to mine to probably gossip. I hissed softly, silly girls, engulfed with fear. My wolf was about to yell out her aggression at them, but I stopped her when I heard the lines of what they were saying.

“Some cars just pulled at the gate, did you see them?” The first voice, which happens to be the tiniest of them, disclosed.

“Yes, it's that time of the year again.” They're back for more of the omega girls. I heard those are called the masters. Omega buyers. The second voice added.

I quickly rushed to look out from my window. It was quite dusty, and cobwebs were already plastered on my face, but neither did I care, I used my left hand and flung the few ones my hand could get, and yeah. The gossip girls are telling the truth. Every year, they come and stay at the far end of the school.

No girl is permitted to go there. None of us has ever been opportune to see the inside of the guest house. They're usually blindfolded and taken in there, and each of the Omega buyers picks a girl of their choice and leaves with them.

I watched in awe as the masters came down from their cars and walked into the gate with a fleet of bodyguards behind them. They were welcomed by the headmistress and her assistant and led through the garden, to the guest house.

“We will be sold to one of them as a slave one day,” My wolf blurted out, and I sighed. I don't know quite well what my fate will be, and it scared the hell out of me. Despite hearing so much about why we're being groomed for them, what if it doesn't be what it was portrayed to be?

I felt goosebumps when I got a glimpse of one of them, the masters. He had a strange aura that loomed around him. A dark, gloomy aura. I couldn't place a finger on why I picked so much interest in him. Although I didn't see his face.

“Why is this happening?” I asked my wolf, but she smiled in mystery and refused to answer my question.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Three loud thuds landed on my door and I flinched with so much anger in me. Just when I'm in between, finding one of the masters interested.

The joy in my heart when she's almost getting mad because I locked the door from behind. “Poor witch!” I scoffed and sluggishly went and opened the door.

“What?” I asked with a cold stare.

“Put on your uniform and come with me immediately,” Miss Stark instructed.

“Why?”

“What…Are you out of your mind, how dare you question my orders, do what I asked you to do now.” Miss Stark barked at me.

I rolled my eyes dramatically before going to change into my uniform. A cute pink skirt and a white short-sleeved shirt. I was thinking I'm going to get punished for flooding the kitchen earlier but putting on my uniform sounds weird to me…

“I'm ready” I announced, coming out of the room and shutting it against Miss Stark loudly. I smirked at my evil deed, how I wish it could hit her though, more celebration. I said and smiled within myself.

“So what punishment are you going to give me this time around? Raking leaves? Weeding the garden, harvesting the ripened fruits, or whipping me?” I ranted, I'm already used to all of it.

“Oh, don't worry, you'll see for yourself” Miss Stark smirked.

We went outside the school building and headed towards the fattening house. 

Yes, the fattening house.

It was directly opposite the guest house, where the masters were already being attended to and taken care of.

I wondered where she was taking me to but decided to keep my cool.

“You'll be staying here for now, you'll be fed four times a day and get plenty of rest, make sure you don't do anything stupid.” Miss Stark warned, carefully unlocking the door.  I scoffed at her words, maybe she was referring to the first day I tried to jump over the school wall and got caught or probably when I broke someone's teeth because she body-shamed me. "Sorrows, Sorrows, Prayers." My wolf snapped.

Then I'm back to reality. “What kind of punishment is this?” I was already starting to sense something wrong. 

Miss Stark neither said anything, she only but pushed the door open, revealing a room booming with life.

It wasn't as gloomy and dark as our block rooms. The room held 7 girls in it, each walking around and chattering with different snacks at their disposal. It was like a paradise. But it didn't seem right to me, I sensed something was off, definitely.

The fattening house was built to make the Omega girls ready to meet their masters. We were left to eat as much as we wanted because we may never get that privilege again at our Master's places. 

The girls knew this, they knew they were being fattened up for their masters. But they neither didn't care to know what they were going to do over there. None of us knew, anyway.

Miss Stark pushed me in and locked the door. I looked around at the other girls, who seemed to be very happy to be there.

“I can't wait to meet my new master,” one of them affirmed. 

Poor girls, they were expecting a fairy tale life. If only they knew what was awaiting us all. I quipped.

I was uncomfortable. I knew there was more to this, I knew something dark was coming, but I didn't know what it was. I had to wait and find out what happened next…
