THE X-FAMILY : EPISODE 1 – 20
Episode 15
By Faith Lucky
Octavia opened her eyes and found herself on the bed.
She moved uncontrollably and spread her arms, feeling the soft foam.
Her head – it ached a lot. And in between her l.egs
She felt dazed and closed her eyes briefly to recall the incidence of the previous night. She didn’t exactly want to recall it, but they came running into her head effortlessly.
She remembered every single thing – hurting the Master at the party, then Khalid punishing her by using her bru.tally. How could she possibly forget?
The door opened not long after and she opened her eyes to see her sister walking in with a napkin over her neck.
For the first time,, Mica wasn’t dressed in her usual black leather trouser and jacket as she wore just trouser and singlet. She looked sweaty and seemed to be returning from the gym.
She paused by the door and stared at Octavia who was trying to sit up.
They exchanged silent stares and she closed the door and walked in.
“You’re awake”, her voice was low.
“How’re you feeling now?”
Octavia lowered her gaze and nodded.
“I’m…I’m fine. Good morning” she lied.
Yeah, she lied because she wasn’t entirely fine at all.
She felt serious pains.
“You should go on and take a bath. I’ll get you something to eat” She said and walked out.
Octavia heaved deeply as soon as she left. Gosh! She felt so nervous in front of her own sister and that was probably because she had a disturbing conscience
She knew her sister hated seeing her in that manner. But alas, there was nothing she could do.
She tried to ignore the pains and leave the be.d and thankfully, she did.
She found her way to the bathroom, turned on the shower and took a long bath.
THE X-FAMILY : EPISODE 1 – 20
It was a long bath as she had to wash her body thoroughly. She had found traces of $e-men on her body and she made sure she used enough water on it.
When she was done and came out of the bathroom, she found a tray of meal on the table in front of the bed, together with one other lady – a strange lady.
She had been twirling in front of the mirror, chewing a gum noisily, but as soon as she felt Octavia’s presence, she paused and turned to look at her.
“Oh! You’re done!” She exclaimed and made a bubble with a gum.
Octavia stood in front of the door, staring silently at her.
“Mica asked me to deliver breakfast to you. You can go on and eat”, she shrugged and turned back to the mirror, picking a hair brush from the table and brushing her hair.
Octavia felt like asking where her sister was, but considering the fact she doesn’t talk to strangers, she swallowed down the question and went to sit in front of the bed. She didn’t have to wear.
She uncovered the plates in front her and started eating slowly, feeling so uncomfortable as a result of the lady in the room.
Paula – on the other hand – didn’t even care as she continued with what she was doing. And after a while, she went to join Octavia on the bed.
“I’m Paula”, she said and made a bubble with the gum, staring right into Octavia’s face.
Octavia just looked at her for a second, then took her eyes back to her meal.
“Hey, don’t you talk?” She nudged Octavia a little, making her spill some sauce on her towel.
She dropped the spoon and glared hard at the lady.
“Leave me alone”, she said icily and continued eating.
“Woahh!! Are you being serious?” Paula chuckled.
“Relax, okay? I’m a nice person. Besides, you want to be a part of us, right? So, you have to see us as one, okay?”
Octavia snubbed her as usual and she shook her head.
“Anyway, I’m one of the chefs here and….I hope you enjoy the meal?” She said and for a while, Octavia thought of replying her with something nice.
But just when she was about saying something, the door opened and Mica walked in – still in her gym outfit.
“And she’s back!” Paula beamed and stood up.
“Your sister’s one of a kind, Mica. You should talk to her”.
“Thank you”. Mica mumbled as she walked out the door.
Octavia looked at her and since she was putting on a singlet, she was able to see the drawing of some tattoos on her hand.
She saw a particular one that had a K symbol and somehow, she felt it was the symbol of the Khalid clan.
“Do you need something else? To eat?’ Mica asked as she stood and watched her eat.
“No. I’m fine with this”, Octavia replied.
Mica walked to her wardrobe, opened it and brought out a simple gown.
“I’ll be going out today and will try to get you some new clothes. You can use this for now”, she threw the gown at Octavia who muttered a “thank you”.
Mica went into the bathroom afterwards for a bath and by the time she returned, Octavia was done eating.
She went straight to her wardrobe, took out her usual leather trouser and jacket and parked her hair in the usual style in front of the mirror.
“Where are you going?” Octavia asked as she rounded up her dressing.
Mica hesitated a little, then replied:
“I just need to go somewhere”.
Octavia could tell she didn’t want to go into details. So, she just let her be.
“Try not to get into trouble, okay?” She instructed.
“I’ll try my best to come back in time. Master Khalid isn’t around. So, I don’t think there’d be any task for you to do this morning. But still, be careful. He might come back at anytime. Do you understand?” She asked and Octavia nodded and answered: “Yes”.
Mica started for the door, but just when she was a opening it, her sister interrupted her.
“Mica”, she called timidly and Mica turned to look at her, awaiting what she had to say.
Octavia left the bed where she at and went closer to her.
“On your way back, could you get me….some pills? Y..You know? The pills…ladies take after…sx?”
Mica stiffened in and stared at her for a few seconds without saying a word.
“I will”, she finally nodded and left the room.
