Tears fell down Elvi's cheeks when she grabbed the furs of the grey wolf and remembered what her mother told her yesterday .
*******
After Moroe left the guards unchained Marla's hands and legs before walking out , hours passed by as she grieved down on the floor because her daughter would never be the same , she reflected from what she has been throon in just two days and that completely broke her to the last piece .
She knew that Elvi shall not be the same anymore after whatever happened but the thought that the slaughter event was here and for what she did is so unforgivable in this pack , her heart throbbed on the thought of being killed .
" My daughter should live " Marla mumbled as she crawled down the floor toward the steel cell door and held the bars tightly before shouting with her last sound , " Someone there " .
Silence became her reply but she couldn't give up , she needed to do something before tomorrow otherwise she would regret it .
" Someone there please " she begged when foot steps came her way and soon a man stood before the bars .
" What do you need ?" the guard asked and Marla raised her head to meet the guards eyes and that's when the guard gasped and knelt down . " Marla , what are you doing here ?" , he asked whispering not to be heard with others .
" Fred " Marla spoke a smile plastered on her face before grabbing his hands , " Am glad I met you " she mumbled lowering her head .
" That doesn't answer what are you doing here ?" Fred said anger vivid in his voice laced with something else , pain and regret .
" Listen , that's not important now Fred " Marla said pulling herself closer than ever , " I need your help " , " I can see that but what the fuck happened for you to be here ?" Fred insisted on knowing what really happened to her .
" Elvi " Marla went on and Fred gasped on hearing the name , " Elvi , what do you mean ?" , he asked gripping the bars so hard . " We're to be killed but please save my daughter " Marla pleaded as tears dropped down her cheeks .
" You mean she's here " Fred asked again when Marla gripped his hand tightly , " I have no time but once you get Elvi out of here , She'll tell you all of it , I want you to give this to her and please insist her to go with you , do that for me , for her please " Marla was now taking out a piece of paper folded into a tiny one .
" Marla ....." , " Please " she cut him off and folded it more into his hands when a voice of door opening came and Fred stood up hastily while Marla moved away from him .
The steps came closer and Fred decided to look who was it to see it was another guard , Fred bowed indicating he was superior than him .
" What's going in here ?" the guard asked , " She requested for water and to see her daughter " Fred lied and the guard narrowed his eyes onto him then Marla .
" Water , yes since she's going to die anyway , why not quench her thirsty but seeing her daughter , they shall have more time when the moon goddess accepts then in her realm " with that the guard walked out while Fred's hands tightened in making a fist so hard .
Fred looked down at Marla when a voice calling him took him out of his thoughts , " Move from there if you don't want trouble and someone shall bring her water to drink if not poison " the leaving guard shouted and Fred's hope of meeting Marks again died since his statement made it clear they neither water nor her daughter she shall see or have .
Fred walked away after giving her the last glance leaving her to her own sobbing n a cold and dirty floor .
After they walked out the cell the guard stood and waited for Fred instead , " You pitied her , didn't you ?" he asked him as he got close .
" No sir , they deserve for what they did " Fred spoke unsure of what they have done , the guard smiled as he gestured Fred to walk with him .
" By that , you can give water to her daughter instead , I think she really needs it more than her mother " the guard stated and Fred's throat tightened on the thought that Elvi had a bad shape than Marla , ' For god's sake what did they do ' he asked himself .
" Why is that ?" he decided to ask the guard since his curiosity was getting the best of him but the guard sighed , " She was used by More than 25 men's in a night , served them again in the next day when she regained consciousness , whipped and got countless slashes but bad enough Moroe gave her one big bowl of silver to drink and another splashed on her wounds " .
Fred's steps halted as his heart bled as f someone pierced a knife in it , his legs got weak and his knuckles were now turning white , his lips quivered as he was fighting his wolf from taking control , it won't get better for him .
" Let's go man , that's not it you know " the guard said and Fred walked to him slowly still thinking of his word , ' that's not it you know ' .
" The girl is now having her 1000 buckets of cold water , come and see her " the guard added as he walked along with Fred .
They walked together down the red's dangeon and Fred halted on seeing the girl on the middle of the field , being tied hands wide with chains , her knees on the floor while guards were pulling up the cold water from the floor and poured it into her body .
His eyes scanned for the buckets , they were so many and guards too who did turns in pouring her cold water , his throat dried on the sight and his body froze before asking the guard who stood beside him but he was timed .
" I feel pity for this one here and as I told you before , she needs more water not for her body but the energy to survive today because if she lives today , tomorrow won't be a lucky day for her either " the guard said with honesty .
Fred looked at Elvi who now fell on the floor after her last energy drained from her .He turned his head to look to the guard and wanted to know something from him .
" What did she do ?" .
