It was difficult for Aliyah to finish pouring a glass of whiskey. I kept calmly telling her, "Stand aside!" And I lifted the glass of whiskey to take a sip. The feeling of spicy, acrid in my mouth made me a bit uncomfortable. I have never found that whiskey is hard to drink like that.I put the glass of whiskey down and started having dinner. The food had cooled down, but I still pretended not to notice. If it were normal, I would ask for a portion of new food to change, but now I am afraid that Aliyah will waste my time, so I try to eat and look delicious to attract her.She must be looking at my food with her eyes and drooling. I waited for her to kneel, and she begged me to give her some leftovers.But what I waited for was a heavy noise falling to the floor. I was startled and turned to look in the direction of Aliyah, and she was lying down on the cold floor.I immediately stood up and ran to Aliyah's place. Feeling her heart still beating, my spirit relaxed a bit but still not l
*POV AliyahThe disinfectant smell made me realize I was in Serena's infirmary. This is my second time waking up here. Looking at my hand being injected with nutritional fluid, I felt a sting in my heart.When I was in the Angel organization, I had to undergo rigorous training every day. There are times when there is a danger to life. Even so, I wasn't so miserable that I had to starve and be beaten to the point of fainting.In the organization, everyone loved and respected me because I was a good hunter. I came to this place because I am human, despised, humiliated, and tortured. It's ironic!Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted my train of thought. I turned to look. The one who had just entered the room was Serena."Are you awake? You slept longer than I thought." Serena smiled at me. She went to my bed and did some manipulation to check my body. Then she pulled the needle out of my hand and wrapped the wound with a bandage.From start to finish, I just looked at Serena without
Suddenly my heart was pounding again. I don't understand what this strange feeling is.But Serena's voice broke my nonsense. "A soldier brought you here," she said."Oh..." a feeling of disappointment appeared in my heart.What am I hoping for? I was hoping that Charles would take me to the infirmary. How could a cold, ruthless person like him care about me? Most importantly, I am a hunter, his enemy. How stupid of me to think like that!I suddenly noticed that Serena looked at me strangely, examining something. I think she saw the wound on my face, but she didn't dare to ask for fear that I wasn't happy.I smiled and said to her, "Ashe made my face look so bad. Will it go back to normal?"Serena startled, blinked a few times before answering me, "ah, can recover. You take medicine daily to dissolve the bruise; after a week, it will completely heal."I nodded, feeling like there was something strange about Serena, but I didn't say it, continuing to eat my breakfast.I heard Serena mum
“Currently, three people are vying for the management position. One is Caily, who is Ashe's friend; you do not support her. Her personality is similar to Ashe's. Second is Ben, a complicated man, a longtime enslaved person here, but he is Ashe's enemy. Few people were close to him, but the enslaved men trusted him. The third one is Kaylin; she's my friend. She is very friendly and enthusiastic. The newcomers liked her very much.”Serena said a bit long, but I didn't know whom she was talking about.“Oh, that means everyone already has their choice. So why am I running for election? No one would vote for an anonymous person like me,” I said.“I think you just need to say to….” Serena was speaking when she suddenly fell silent.I looked up at her; the confusion was evident on her face. She seemed to have misspoken, so she smiled wryly and quickly changed the subject, “I think you can try calling people out if you want to try that position. Or if you don't want to run, you can vote for m
I lay down for a while and then fell asleep without realizing it until someone knocked on my door, then I woke up startled. After eating well and getting enough sleep, my senses have regained their alertness.I stood up and adjusted my hair and clothes a bit. This is my habit; I don't want others to see my sloppy appearance.I opened the door to my room, and a black-haired girl was in front of me. I rummaged through my memory; I seemed to have met her somewhere. If I remember correctly, she sat at the same table as Serena. Even though I only had a glimpse at that time, I could still remember her.“Hello. I'm Kaylin! Nice to meet you." She introduced herself with a smile.Serena said Kaylin was the one to run for the management position. She seems friendly and gentle. Different from Ashe. I didn't understand what she came to see me for, but since she was so peaceful, I politely replied, “Hello! Did you find me anything?"“For now, I will temporarily manage the main building. So I'm her
"Whore! Whom do you say is a pig?" The girl aggressively shouted at me. Her figure is tall, with prominent shoulders and strong muscles, not inferior to a bodybuilder.I stepped back, afraid that her saliva would splash on my plate. I laughed and replied, "Whoever speaks up is a pig!"Except for Serena and her friends, everyone in the cafeteria laughed at my sarcastic remark. That made the girl even more embarrassed.She raised her hand and charged toward me. I quickly dodged, causing her to miss a few times."Don't, Edana!" Serena panicked. She is worried about me.But Serena's screams didn't stop Edana. She was still lunging toward me. Although she has a strong appearance, her speed is plodding, so I can easily escape; only the ketchup on my plate is scattered because of my fast movement.Some of the sauce splashed on the soldiers nearby. At this time, the soldiers did not sit still and watch. One of them shouted, "Stop! Don't make a mess in the cafeteria. If anyone dares to mess up
Early this morning, Kaylin asked me about tools because someone needed them for work.I honestly told her that Charles threw them in the landfill. Kaylin heard that and panicked. She awkwardly said, "What should I do? Without the tools, everyone would work very hard. They would resent me."I sigh. I should be responsible for this anyway, so I said, "let me go to the dump to find them.""Is that disadvantageous for you? I asked you to leave your tools in the hallway, causing you to be reprimanded, and now you have to go to the landfill to look for lost tools. I feel very sorry for you." Kaylin said in a choked voice like she was about to cry. She must be blaming herself a lot."It's okay! I have a share of the responsibility too. I'll look for them. Can you show me the way to the dump?" I said with a not-cold attitude."Okay! Thank you very much!" Kaylin said.The landfill is located on the east side, about four kilometers from here. Every day, there will be a garbage truck from the du
"Don't scare her, Ben!" A voice came from above.I saw a guy standing on the enormous pile of trash here. He looked at me, giving me a smile that was supposed to be sunny, but I couldn't see his face because the sun was so bright. At his feet was a thin board; he stepped on it and slid down from the mountain of garbage as if he were skiing. Maybe he does that so often; he looks very professional. When he almost touched the ground, he threw himself into the air, flipped, and landed skillfully.This show would be fine if he didn't show it off in the dump. But he didn't care about the scene; his face was confident; he smiled and said, "Hello, beautiful lady! Nice to meet you."Maybe he thinks his expression right now is that of a gentleman and charming, but in my eyes, he's funny. His face was ridiculous and clumsy.The corners of my mouth twitched a few times before a forced smile appeared. I said, “hello!”“Stop behaving ridiculously, Cody! You're the one who scared her." The man named
