The first count sounded, and everyone looked at each other in confusion and whispered; they did not dare to talk loudly. Cody was standing next to me all this while. He tilted his head to chat with me, “I wonder what idiot this funny thing did? He's dead for sure!" Cody said while laughing when he saw the other in trouble.My mouth twitched, unable to smile. I pointed at myself and said to Cody, “that idiot is me!”At this point, the leader also counted to two. I immediately raised my hand and said, “It was me!”Everyone turned their eyes on me. Cody gasped in disbelief. I can only smile wryly in this situation.“What silly thing are you drawing? Are you kidding me?" The leader said in a low voice.I straightened my back, looked him straight in the eye, and replied bluntly, “I'm not joking! The regulations say that no leave the paper white, but you do not say that drawing pictures is prohibited. I don't want to vote for anyone, so I must do that! I don't think I broke the law."The le
I'm in charge of the laundry on the first floor because this floor has my bedroom. There is also Serena's medical room on the first floor and the bedrooms. I also had to clean up the blankets, sheets, and pillowcases for her. When I got to Serena's room, she was in her room. I thought she was busy comforting Kaylin. Why did she come back so early?Serena looked at me, said nothing, bowed, and continued her work. I know she's mad at me for not voting co Kaylin, but she can't blame me. The right to vote for whom is mine and I did not promise her to vote for Kaylin.Since Serena was sulking for no reason, I didn't want to comfort her. I said coldly, “I came to collect your blankets and sheets for laundry.”Serena said nothing and didn't even glance at me. I didn't care either; I just gave an hour's notice, went directly to her bed, and started taking off the pillowcase.After a while, Serena was also talking to me, but her voice was as if she were questioning me, “Kaylin has been so nice
“STOP!” A sudden roar cut through my fight with Cody.We were all startled and, at the same time, looked in the direction the sound was coming from. At the door, Charles looked extremely at us with dangerous eyes.The smiles on our faces suddenly disappeared. We were so shocked that we were dumbfounded and just stood there watching. It wasn't until Charles yelled again that we recovered.“What the hell are you guys doing here?”Cody immediately softened his legs and knelt to apologize to Charles, “I'm sorry, sorry, Sir! I… I'll clean it up right away….”I looked straight at Charles, feeling his eyes on me mixed with emotion."We will clean up immediately," I said, pretending to be calm.The air suddenly became a little colder, even making me shiver involuntarily. Cody also felt it; he kept saying sorry and begging for forgiveness."Fuck off!" Charles shouted. His voice is full of anger.I knew that even if I stayed to apologize now, Charles would be even more angry, so I pulled Cody t
*POV CharlesAliyah left, but the faint scent of her blood was still in the air. When I saw her finger bleeding, I felt heartbroken. But I restrained my emotions from pretending not to care about her.Recalling the moment I entered the room, I saw her joking around with a guy I had never seen before. It was the first time I saw her smiling so happily, but that smile was not for me. My jealousy flared up, and I was furious. She even made me angry when she dared to hold that guy's hand before me.To me, that act of hers was a betrayal. I hate the person who betrayed me the most. That's what makes my emotions so erratic. I had to fight a lot with Ryan because I wanted to kill her, but Ryan prevented me.I was calmer after washing my face in cold water. But her irreverent attitude annoyed me again. She can be gentle with that guy but becomes rough when talking to me. The hidden anger caused me to kick the glass of water and say bitter words.I know I'm overdoing it a bit, but I've managed
*POV AliyahEarly in the morning, I was awakened by someone's urgent knock on the door. I lifted the curtain from the window and looked outside. It was still dark, and dew was on the windows. It's not time to go to work yet; who is looking for me at this hour? It's frustrating!I covered my head with a blanket, trying to ignore the sound of the door opening. It seemed that the people outside the room were getting increasingly urgent, so they banged on the door with a loud shout, “Open the door! Open the door, Rose! Hurry up!"I realized it was Ben's voice; Although I don't talk to him often, his voice is distinctive. What is he looking for me at this hour? Why does he look so alarmed? Something must have happened to make him like this.I immediately sat up, combed my hair, and went to open the door.Ben didn't have time to stop, so he almost hit me. Fortunately, I dodged. Ben said eagerly, “Rose, Cody is taken! Do you know what happened to him?"“Huh? Why was Cody taken away? When was
After a hundred slaps in the mouth, I felt my mouth hurt like it was being torn open; the liquid flowed into the oral cavity with a complex taste.But from start to finish, I didn't say a single word of pain. I just coldly looked at Jack with evil eyes. If eyes could kill, he would have died countless times."Done, Sir!" The soldier who had hit me a hundred times immediately stopped, his hand smeared with some of my blood."Is that done already?" Jack said in a doubtful voice. Maybe I still need to yield to his displeasure. He looked at me, eyes filled with disgust.Even though my mouth was in pain, I forced a faint smile, saying mockingly, “Is that all? I thought how terrible it would be. If you're done, get out of the way and let me go."Jack's face gradually turned dark. He gritted his teeth and said, “You bastard! Haven't you learned to respect leaders yet? I will teach you until you know what being enslaved is like."His fist clenched and punched me in the stomach. Although I cou
"HUMAN!" Jack emphasized, his face disbelieving. He looked at the two soldiers, and the two soldiers shook their heads at him, showing that they didn't know I was human either.I was a bit bewildered. I thought everyone here knew I was human, but I didn't expect my identity to be hidden."Right! I am a human. I accidentally got lost in werewolf territory and lost my memory.” I affirm once again. Although I know that if these people knew I was human, they would despise me even more, it was still better than they thought I was a slave participating in the riot. They will kill me immediately.Jack froze for a moment. After that, he didn't even look at me but asked the two soldiers in an angry voice, "why is HUMAN here? You don't even know she's HUMAN. How did you guys work? The soldiers here are all useless!”I heard the word 'human' in Jack's words very bitter. He seemed to hate humans, just like when I first met Charles; he had the same attitude.The two soldiers immediately explained
*POV CharlesLast night, after ordering the arrest of a guy named Cody, who played with Aliyah in my room yesterday. I went to bed expecting that tomorrow Aliyah would come to find me and beg me to let him out.But I have been waiting from this morning to this afternoon, and still no sign of Aliyah coming to find me. Did she not care about Cody? I thought they were very close to each other; Aliyah must be eager to come to see me and question me. Why are all my speculations about her wrong? Or does she not know that I sent Cody to jail?I stood by the window, looking down at the garden for a long time, waiting for the familiar image to appear. My patience was also worn out until the sun gradually went down, and I felt incredibly lost. Ryan urged me to find Aliyah, but I held back for the sake of my self-respect.'Knock knock' There was a sudden knock on the door. I felt nervous again. I expect the person who comes to find me to be Aliyah."Come in!" I lowered my voice, quickly returned
