Episode 5

" Is there anything I need to do?"

Her dull voice came out, and she arched her brows.

Lexa was still on her all black dress, but she definitely looked more than a seventeen years old girl.

Camela glared daggers at the young girl and hissed. Then she snapped,

" Am I supposed to tell you what you ought to do?!

" Go clean up the whole house!"

Honestly, she had no idea when Lexa became this bold, but it didn't bother her as she still has the upper hand.

" But I just came back, and besides am not a maid to do that, "

She crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed loudly.

" Do that or else, no lunch and dinner for you!"

Camela flicked Lexa's forehead, which had the latter to almost lost her balance, and she turned away while indicating a sign with her right fingers, " Am giving you just three minutes to get your ass down here!"

Lexa grumbled and smacked her left fist on the wall, but she didn't flinched, as the anger she felt had overwhelmed her.

I wish I was eighteen already, she thought, and suddenly her expression changed into a moody one. She didn't want to live this kind of life, as she thought it didn't suit her, but what could she do as a seventeen years old girl without a wolf yet.

Sighing helplessly, she moved to the living room and saw her foster mother relaxing herself in the living room. Lexa shook her head and proceeded to get a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush, then she started cleaning the whole place.

After she was done, she washed herself up and went to the dinning room to get her lunch but frowned when she saw nothing on the dinning table.

" What are you expecting? Do you think you are done with your job? I haven't given you the permission to eat, so you can't!"

Camela's domineering voice resounded in Lexa's ears, and she sneered in contempt. This was getting too much, she gritted her teeth but tried to control herself, as she was really famished.

" What am I supposed to do next?"

Lexa turned to face Camela, who was still at the living room, having her cool time.

" Go and dump those garbages into the local dumpster."

Lexa's eyes widened, and she growled with irritation, " Are you nut?! That place is more than a ten minutes walk, and am fucking starving right now!"

The young teen was thinking maybe her foster mother didn't know what she was saying and shook her head.

What Lexa said didn't go well with Camela, and she viewed it as a blow in the face. Immediately, she stood up abruptly, and obviously her blood was boiling.

" If you don't leave my sight right now, I am going to do the unthinkable and hit you till you pass out!

" Scram!"

A thin line could be seen on the crown of her head, and her words actually sent waves of shivers to her foster daughter.

Lexa knew Camela meant what she just uttered and swiftly scurried away from her spot to do as she was told, but inwardly she was greatly displeased.

The garbages were heavy for her but nonetheless, she took them and hiked to where the local dumpster was. All the way to her aimed place, she mumbled incoherently till she got there.

She threw the garbages anyhow and didn't bother to adjust them properly. But as she was about to take her leave and head back to the house, something unexpected happened.

Lexa saw a short man with thick beard running towards her, behind him was a mob of enraged people holding different weapons. They were roaring furiously and trying to catch up with the short man, who was running at a very fast pace, and in his hand was a big brown bag.

Lexa frowned deeply at the sight that welcomed her, but before she could comprehend anything, she heard a bass voice,

" Catch!"

Subconsciously, she turned to the direction of the voice, but the brown bag was already thrown at her, and it landed on her hands. Lexa was rendered mute and tried to look for the short man, but he was nowhere to be seen. The young teenager wondered what was in the bag, but a deep chorus interrupted her, and that was when she remembered the mob of very mad people.

" Take her!!!"

Lexa gulped down nervously and tried to think of what do, but her fears didn't allow her brain to concentrate. She had no idea what to do and felt like crying. This was a stiff situation to her, and she inwardly cursed her foster mother. But there was no time to think about her foster mother now, and she smacked her head.

Think! She screamed inside her head but only one thing came into her brain.

Without thinking, she took to her heels and ran as fast as she could. Infact, this could be called her first ever fast run. But still, she could feel the mob of enraged people were getting close, and she panicked greatly.

Lexa started sweating intensely but continued running to only where the goddess knows. She ran and ran without stopping. It somehow surprised her where she got the stamina and strength to run like that, despite how she was starving badly. The young teen paused in her steps and looked back, then wiped her sweats.

" Phew!"

That's was a hard one! Lexa thought and exhaled loudly. She threw the bag away, cause she had no interest in checking it again.

Lexa relaxed herself for some seconds, before she realized where she was now and pulled her sword shaped brows together. She looked around her, but the place appeared strange to her. Squinting her eyes, she noticed the place was like a border leading to another place. The young girl stiffened immediately, as it dawned on her but hoped for it not to be true, as it was sort of hard for her to believe.

A rustling sound danced it's way into Lexa's ears, and she swiftly turned back but saw no one.

Strange, she muttered, but soon screamed in horror as she took a step forward and felt herself been hang up on a tall tree with her body facing downward.

Everything now appeared somewhat upside down, and she struggled to free herself but noticed her limbs were tied tightly.

What the heck is all this?! She complained to herself and hissed with frustration.

Just then, Lexa heard some weird voices and decided to keep quiet, so she can get the voices she was hearing.

Voice one, which sounded like a male's voice, " Who do you think she is?"

" I don't really know, but she doesn't looks like she belong here, "

The owner of the second voice, which sounded like a female's voice, seems confused.

Lexa overhead what they were discussing, and instantly knew it was about her, but she didn't know who they were, so she wasn't sure if she should reveal herself or not.
