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 curiosly at her.
Well, over there, you don't leave the building unless you're asked to, or assigned on a mission. So, that's 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 hesistated.
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 discovered 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.
So 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 voics 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 a 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.
