[STORY] THE X-FAMILY (Episode 14)

Episode 14.

Mica walked out of the room and met Draco where she’d requested him to wait for her.

“What is it, Mica? You told me its urgent”, Draco asked as soon as she got to where he was.
He paused and looked around, trying to make sure no one was close enough to eaves drop

“I need your help, Draco. I need you to help me leave the building, please. I need to go somewhere important” she hushed.

“You want to leave?” He made a crumpled look. “But where are you going that’s so important?”

She sighed and looked around.

“I’m….I’m sorry, I can’t tell you. But its important, please. Don’t say no”. She pleaded.

Draco stared curiously at her.

Well, over there, you don’t leave the building unless you’re asked to, or assigned on a mission. So, that was the reason Mica needed the help of one the Master’s personal guards. At least, they had higher authority.

“Okay; come on”, he titled his head and started walking away while she followed without reluctance.

They got to the parking lot, took a red car and with Draco at the driver’s seat, he started moving the car.

They drove straight to the gate but stopped right at it since they couldn’t go pass the securities.

The securities came with their guns to have a look at the car

“Draco” one of them called.
Mica was at the backseat

“I need to go somewhere with Mica. She’s running a personal errand for me. Open the gate” he said strictly but the boys hesitated.

Well, considering it was someone like Draco, they knew they could trust him.

They opened the gate and gave them free access while they drove out

“When will you be back?” Draco asked as he parked by the roadside.

“I don’t know. Before evening”, she replied. “Thanks a lot for this”.

She tapped his shoulder before opening the door and leaving the car.

She stood by and watched him drive away before proceeding. She needed to do this.

She stopped a cab and boarded it to the train station.

She was headed home – to check up on her parents. She needed to know what was wrong with Octavia and why she ran away from home.
***************************

Octavia had fallen asleep after Mica left. Well, she had nothing to do and no one to talk to.

But after sleeping for long hours, she discovers she was bored and needed to do something. She thought of taking a walk round the building, but the thought of meeting with strangers nibbled at her and she quickly waved it off. She hated strangers. No reason, she’s just never liked them.

She took a brief search around the room and found a book and pen. She returned to the bed and started drawing on it.

Yeah, Octavia was quite good at art. She loved it.

She leaned her back against the wall and drew what she had in mind perfectly. It was a car.

She was only good at drawing objects and has never attempted to draw a human.

She drew the car perfectly and despite the fact it wasnt colored, she still admired it. She’s always admired her works.
She turned to another page and made a different drawing – drawing the picture of a basket containing water. Yeah, it was crazy, right? But she did it.

She took so much passion in it. But after the third drawing, she became bored again and felt she had to do something else.

She stood up from the bed and went to stand in front of the window. There were people moving around, seeming to have fun. She suddenly wished she could blend with them,but they seemed so difficult for her. So difficult.

Taking a deep breath, she took a bold step and left the room.

She had opened the door creakily, looked left and right and satisfied that there was no one, she stepped out of the room.

With her hands fisted beside her dress, she took the left path and started walking slowly.

She walked, took the stairs and finally stopped when she got to a balcony.

The balcony was empty – to her pen advantage – and she went there to stand and have a clear view

Wow! It made her seem like she was flying as the cold breeze blew her hair around when she stood at the top. She could see everything clearly – the people, other buildings, cars, everything. She felt high.

She smirked as she enjoyed the view. For the first time since she arrived, she found something she liked. She could perhaps, stand there forever.

“Wow! Look whom we have here”, she suddenly heard a voice and turned quickly to see a familiar face.

Of course, she was the same lady she always saw with the Master – Becca. She was with one other lady.

Octavia shot her a stare and lowered her gaze to the floor.

“Isn’t this the determined newbie?” The lady with her asked teasingly. Her name was Tara.

“Yeah, she is. And the one who got lucky enough to be touched by Khalid”, Becca said
Octavia lifted her eyes to look at her when she noticed a covetous echo in Becca’s voice. Was that jealousy, she thought.

Becca smiled and moved closer to her. “How’re you doing?” She asked, but Octavia could tell she was being sarcastic.

“I’m fine’, she mumbled anyway.
She didn’t talk to strangers, but she could tell this lady was troublesome. So, she was doing everything she could o avoid her

“Did you enjoy last night? With Khalid?” She asked and her friend answered from behind:
“Of course, she should”.

Becca scoffed and crossed her hands.

“You better learn to adapt to the rules here, blue eyes. Because I wouldn’t want you getting Khalid to touch you again. Do you understand?” She asked, but Octavia kept shut.

“I can’t believe you even had the guts to hurt Master Klaus. Just wait for him and be ready, because he’s definitely gonna come over to punish you. You can’t go free with that”.

Octavia looked at her and wondered why exactly she was trying to install fear into her.

“Its just a friendly advice, you know? You had the chance to leave, but you threw it away. Now, you have to dance to the music. I seriously don’t know why Khalid didn’t whip you after last night. All he did was punish you with s’x. Hmph”. She scrawled at Octavia from head to toe, then walked away with companion.

Octavia bit her lip in abashment as they walked away. Slowly, she turned around to face the balcony again, her hands on the bars. Becca’s words seemed to have an impeccable effect on her as she chewed on them.

Was Master Klaus really going to come over to punish her?

Well, she had been thinking about it. She hurt one of the clan Masters for no reason and felt she had to get punished for it. She couldn’t just go free like that. She felt he might want to punish her himself.

But the problem was, was she ready to face him? To face his anger?

Her breath hitched at the thought of it. And still staring into space, downstairs, she spotted Becca – walking with the same lady she’d seen her with.
Oh.

She stared at them for long as they walked majestically, receiving respectful greetings from others they came across. Becca was really respected, wasn’t she?

Well, of course. She was the Master’s girlfriend.

Suddenly, Octavia had a crazy idea and fixing her eyes on her, she released her powers and made her stumble on the floor.
