THE X-FAMILY : EPISODE 1 – 20

Episode 20

By Faith Lucky

It was the dawn of the day.

Octavia’s sound sleep was disrupted by a knock on the door.

Mica had been in the bathroom and couldn’t come out to get the door. So, Octavia had to do it.

The knock persisted and she groaned as she left the bed, walking towards the door.

Her eyes were a little heavy, but she forced herself to get to the door and when she opened it, it inconvenienced her to see it was Moscow – her supposed trainer.

His face fumed.

“What took you so long to answer the door?” He asked raucously, but Octavia didn’t reply.

“I’m talking to you” he said again and Octavia lowered her gaze and replied:

“I was sleeping”.

He chuckled and gawped at her.

“You have fifteen minutes to get dressed. Your training begins immediately” he scrawled and walked away.

Octavia shut the door and turned back to the room.

Gosh! Why did he have to be her trainer, huh? Why him of all people?

The door of the bathroom opened almost immediately and Mica walked out, having just a t©wel around her wet body.

“Who was that?” She asked.

“Moscow. He wants me to get ready for training” Octavia replied and left the door.

“Good morning” she added.

“Yeah, morning”

Mica went over to her wardrobe while Octavia proceeded to the bathroom.

Some minutes passed and Octavia returned,also wet. By that time, Mica was already done dressing up.

“Oh! Sht!” She suddenly cur$ed.
“I forgot to get the clothes”

She sighed and searched for something in her wardrobe, throwing it at Isabelle.

“Here – you can make use of this for now.
I’ll make sure I get some on my way back today”.

“Thank you” Isabelle mumbled as she turned around to dress up.

“Since you’re going for training, you don’t need to eat for now. So, when you’re back and you need something to eat, just go to the kitchen and find Paula, okay?” A
I’ll make sure I get some on my way back today”.

“Thank you” Isabelle mumbled as she turned around to dress up.

“Since you’re going for training, you don’t need to eat for now. So, when you’re back and you need something to eat, just go to the kitchen and find Paula, okay?” She said and Octavia just nodded in agreement.

After a while, she was done dressing and she packed her hair and applied a little wet to her lips.

“I’ll be on my way now” Octavia said and Mica turned to face her.

“Just be careful around Moscow, okay? Do what he says. And don’t be stubborn” she stated and Octavia nodded perfunctorily.

“Good luck” she said dismissively and Octavia finally left.

Getting to the hallway, she found Moscow waiting there for her. His face was swollen.

“I said fifteen minutes” he gritted his teeth when she got close. “You took close to thirty minutes”.

Octavia still didn’t say a word as she stood in front of him.

“When I talk to you, you make use of your tongue”, he suddenly gripped her by the top of her shirt and said and October flinched.

There was a short silence.

then, looking directly into his eyes, she said: “Get your hands….away from me”.

Moscow’s eyes dimmed. His jaws clenched. How dare she?

He scoffed and let go of her dress, seating a grim smirk.

“Let’s go” he grunted and started walking away and Octavia quietly followed.

They got out to the open field and Octavia fed her eyes with the few people she’d seen.

Lots of boys and girls busy and having fun. It brought so many thoughts to her head as she imagined all of them being under one man – Master Khalid.

Not even a man, but a boy. Yea, she was sure he wasn’t up to the age of a man.

It was a long walk with Moscow but finally, they got to their destination. It was a gym – big and well equipped.

Wow!

Octavia had never been to a gym before and she wondered if she’d be able to lift a thing there.

“We need to work on your muscles first” Moscow said, a venomous echo in his voice.

“Go there and start with the weight lift” he pointed out to it.

Octavia gulped hard and started towards it. She wondered why the gym had to be empty.

She got to the weight lift and tried lifting it up but damm! It was too heavy for her.

She grunted and tried again and Moscow stood behind and laughed.

Then, with a mightier force, she tried again and it worked.

She lifted it up, brought it down to her waist level, up again, down to her waist level….and so it went.

After that, she was asked to do one more and it took some time before she was finally done from there.
Dmn! She was sweating real bad.

Moscow glared at her real bad, but Octavia didn’t care.

“Come on” he tilted his head and started walking out and Octavia followed.

They walked for sometime and stopped in front of a car and Octavia was surprised when Moscow opened the door.

“Get in” he said huskily as he got into the driver’s seat.

“Wh…Where are we going?” Octavia asked, surprised.
