Octavia flnched as she saw Michael crash to the floor.
Oh God! Khalid.
"Hey! Stop that!" The shop clerk yelled, but it was obvious he couldn't go closer as a result of fear.
Instead, he picked up his telephone and started placing a call - probably to the police?
Khalid moved to where Michael was on the floor and picked him up by the collar.
"Are you telling me...Or not?" He asked raucously and landed a punch on his nose.
Michael groaned and tried retaliating, but it was just too much for him and worst, Khalid punched him again, making his nose bleed.
"Really? Do I have to kill you to get the truth from you?" He shoved him roughly to the floor in such a way he landed roughly.
"Khalid..." Octavia called lightly.
She was beginning to fear he might end up killing him and it seemed the police were on their ay alre
"My baby... Khalid!" She wouldn't stop whining and Khalid, being the first of it's kind, could hardly comprehend what to do.Could it be possible it was time for delivery? Then, she needed to be taken to the hospital, right?She was still standing with her legs spread apart, like she was scared to bring them together or something."Octavia...Come here. Come here" Khalid cooed as he drew closer to his chest and wrapped his hand around her."Khalid...!""Santa? Draco? Who's there??" Khalid calmed out and the door opened immediately, revealing Santa."Mast...""Get the car ready! Now!" Khalid cut him off with a command and without hesitation, Draco turned and ran off.Octavia was still whimpering, fidgetting with Khalid's shirt and suddenly, an unexplained pain like ménstrual cramps hit so
Khalid turned slightly to look at Octavia, then turned back to face the judges."Really?" He scoffed. "And did you ever stop to wonder what the reason behind her actions was?""Whatever the reason, Khalid, it doesn't matter anymore. She broke a rule and must be punished for it". Another answered."Speaking about rules..." Khalid bent his head and moved a step. "only the current leader can".Master Klaus stared at him suspiciously."If that's what you want" one of the judges replied and turned to the Next man beside him."Get Tha...""Thaddeus stopped being the acting leader the moment the elections started. His tenure's expired already and right now, we don't have a leader to pass a judgement. So... I'd suggest you move on with the coronation and give us a new leader already" his lips pushed slightly with a smirk.&
Octavia laughed hard as Khalid twirled her around in his arms. She clutched him tight, holding onto him like her life actually depended on him."Hey..." Khalid cooed and managed to put her down on her feet, then cupped her chin in his hands."You did it" Octavia muttered, staring directly into his dark eyes."You're alive"."No. You did it" replied answered with a light smile and crashed his lips on hers.It was a snogging kiss, tempestuous and breathtaking.Khalid's hands were still cupping her cheeks, while she moved here to his shoulders and held him tight.The flavors of their tongues were exchanged and when Khalid purposefully give her bottom lip a hard bite, she couldn't help but give out a light moan."Octavia..." Khalid paused the kiss and whispered into her lips."What
Octavia opened her bleary eyes on the bed, her hands fisted, and her back ache."Hey" she heard a voice call and turned her head slowly to see Sapphire sitting close to her."You're awake. How're you feeling?"Octavia arched her brows and tried recalling what had happened.Sapphire...She'd cut her wrist open, but Octavia was able to save her. And afterwards, she felt so weak and passed out."Octavia, can you hear me?" Sapphire cooed and touched her arm and Octavia forced herself to sit up.The memories of what had happened came flashing into her head; how she'd acted so crazy, attacked Master Zack...Goodness! Did she really do all that???And Khalid? Was he awake already? How would she know?Her hand went slowly to her tummy, caraasing the flat surface.
"Khalid?" One of the men called as they moved closer to him.They looked so surprised. It wasn't a dream, was it?"You're awake?"Khalid closed his eye lids shut, then opened them again. Where the hell was he?He looked around, the soft feel of the bed feeling familiar. And tbe voice he'd heard....The only thing he could feel at that moment was weakness and emptiness."Can he hear us?" One of the men asked and slowly, he turned his head to look at them.Some boys were in the room as well, holding a white sheet. Despite the fact he couldn't remember, he had this strong feeling that soemthing big had happened.How come he's alive? Because he's pretty sure he was so close to dead, if he wasn't already.He fisted his hands and forced himself to sit up, his entire body aching a lot as
Octavia stopped Immediately, turning back to look at her.Her eyes were heavy and red.Sapphire bent her head and wept more, her fingers sinking deep into her ruffled hair."I.... I had no idea" she whimpered, her voice cracking feafully."I had no idea Khalid was behind it, Octavia. All those while...I thought it was Tabitha".Octavia watched silentlyShe could recall the pains in Khalid's eyes when he narrated the story to her the previous day. The pains that'd hurt her terribly."For so many years,I harboured nothing but hatred towards him, thinking he was just like his father" Sapphire continued."And when I heard of the terrible things he's done in the clan...""Khalid didn't chose to be what he is today" Octavia cut in gruffly, taking a step closer to her."He grew
