Episode 18
By Faith Lucky
Her legs shook as she stared at him. What’s was doing there??
No; she wanted it to be a dream. She badly wanted it to be a dream.
The dope opened immed and she turned in fright to see it was her sister.
She didn’t know if she was to feel relieved at that moment, or more terrified.
Mica paused at the door and her brows furrowed as she stared at the broken glass on the floor. She was surprised
She looked at her sister who was almost shaken and asked: “what’s wrong?”
Octavia turned to glance at the window and saw the Master walking away with his guards – and him
“It’s…its nothing. Um…the glass just slipped from my hand. I’ll clean it up” Octavia gibbered a reply.
Mica walked closer to the window to have a look and she saw exactly what her sister was seeing, but in a different way.
All she saw was Master Khalid and his guards – together with his bossom friend – Master Zack.
To her, she felt Octavia was scared because she had seen the Master – Khalid. She felt the previous night’s incidence had made her scared of him.
Well, it was normal.
“You should go sit on the bed. I’ll clean this up”, Mica said and Octavia walked quietly to the be.d.
she had to control herself; yes she had to do it. She couldn’t bring up any suspicions.
As she sat and leaned her back against the wall, she huddled her arms and legs together and tried not to shiver.
Master Zack – why was he there? What connection did he have with Khalid?

***********************
Khalid and Zack walked into the house together, to his relaxation room.
Zack took a seat while Khalid reached for the wine bar so he could pour them some drink.
“How was the trip, dude?” Khalid asked, popping a bottle of wine.
“Stressful, you know. Got a lot of work to do” he shrugged.
Zack was almost like Khalid – almost.
He was tall and handsome, cruel, feared and respected. Most people think his heart is darker than Khalid’s, but they were yet to confirm.
“How was the party yesterday? Heard one of your newbies crashed Master Klaus” he asked with a chuckle.
Khalid handed him a glass of his own drink and took a seat, holding his.
“Well,,yeah. Some weakling who’s determined to join the clan”. He replied.
“Weakling? You don’t take no weakling, Khalid. Why did you accept her?”
“Well, I tried to send her away, but she’s too adamant about it and insists on staying. She hasn’t been accepted, tho. Still undergoing my tests”.
“Urgh! Id say you kill her, Khalid. Weaklings doesn’t belong to the clan”.
“I have my eyes on her and if she breaks one more rule, I’ll kill her” Khalid replied quickly, then gulped from his glass.
“Anyway..” Zack leaned back on his chair.
“Is she around? I’d love to see her”.
“Why?” Khalid inquired, staring at him beady eyed.
“Oh! Come on, dude. I just wanna have a look at the weak lady who was brave enough to crash Master Klaus” he laughed and Khalid also chuckled – grimly.
“Okay, then. If you say so”, he shrugged and called on his guards.

***************
Mica – after cleaning up the mess that was caused by her sister, went to join her on the bed.
“How have you been?” She asked.
At that time, Octavia’s nervousness had lessened a bit.
“I’m..I’m fine. Slept all day”. She answered.
“Hope you didn’t get into trouble with anyone?” Michael asked and she shook her head negatively.
There was a brief silence.
“The lady….Becca” Octavia spoke up.
“She seems troublesome”.
Mica scoffed and shook her head.
“Becca’s a bch” she said. “I don’t know how she had gotten into Khalid’s life in the first place, but she’s been using it greatly to her own advantage. Tho, I heard something like….she had saved his life.
“You should try your best to avoid her, Octvavia. Hope you didn’t get into any trouble with her?”
Octavia slowly shook her head, deciding there was no need telling her about the encounter she had.
“You should go on and eat. You might be called upon any moment from now to get further instructions on your training”. Mica said and was about standing up .
“Did you….get the pills?” Octavia asked and she paused.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, causing a distraction.
Mica looked at the door and went to answer it and when she opened it, she discovered it was the guards.
“Mica” one of them called
“The Master wants your sister in his other room – now” he passed the order and Octavia, who could hear them clearly, felt her heart stop beating.
