Aanya's heart stopped for a moment. The reason for her fright was the fact that he caught up to her and might get her to tell him about Ghista. She tried to wiggle away from his grip, but that was almost impossible, judging from the fact that he was bent on getting the truth out of her.“Let go of me,” she said breathlessly, trying her best to avoid making eye contact with him. That was her weakness and she knew it.“Aanya” he called out, but she wasn't going to hear anything he had to say. The amount of fear she felt inwards was preventing her from thinking properly. Moving far away from him will make things easier for the two of them. To avoid being killed or him being killed, she needed to stop whatever was going on between them, but that wasn't happening because he wouldn't let her go.“What is the problem?” “I have to go, Alex” she stated, still trying her best to set her free from his hold. Alex got tired and finally let go of her hand. Aanya stared at him, confused. As much as
A whimper evaded her lips as she tried to get up. She strived to fight the pain that her legs elicited, but it appeared impossible. She knew she had to stand up eventually or it could end up very hazardous for her. Staring up at him with a grimace on his face, she couldn't hate him, she just couldn't. She wasn't trained that way. She was trained to worship him, all her life, to do whatever he asked her to do, to obey all the rules. He was her master after all"Get up" he authorized in a deadly whisper. His eyebrows furrowed in resentment, with bits of sweat on his forehead as he gazed at her. He was ready to finish her off there and then and Aanya loathed how he had the power to do so. No one could query him and absolutely no one could protect her.Aanya exhaled deeply as she struggled to get up. She finally did it, she was on her feet again with her fist clenched as she stood inclined to fight. The pain the felt in her ribs was excruciating as a result of the persistent assault on th
Aanya leaped away from the training room with her thoroughly bruised face. The migraine she felt in her head was too agonizing and she couldn't dismiss it no matter how hard she tried. She made her way to her room and the thought made her stomach churn. She knew she would have to face Aida's constant troubles. What she needed was rest, but she knew that was the least she wasn't going to get.Aanya exhaled sharply as she pushed the door of the room open. It was dark and she inwardly concluded Aida wasn't in. Her heart leaped for joy, thanking the heavens. She could finally have some time to rest. She flicked on the light switch and her soul almost jumped right out of her body when she saw a figure on the bed. She mellowed out a bit when she realized that it was just Aida. What the hell was she doing, inside the room in thick darkness? The last time she recollected, Aida hated the light switched off. It always triggered her."Why did you turn off the light? You aren't even asleep or you
*************"You are to be seen as a normal girl and nothing more. Try your possible best to keep a low profile. That would be the best for you and always remember that if anybody finds out about your identity, you would be killed"He said firmly, striking fear into her heart with the last word."Have it at the back of your mind, you can't forfeit the rule because I will be keeping a close eye on you to make sure you don't go against your norms. You would be schooling at Jexs college and we will let you know why you were sent to the outside world later on" he stated and she nodded. All she could do was nod. She wasn't allowed to speak except she was being asked a question. It showed disrespect. "Do you understand?" He asked and she nodded yet again. He glared in disapproval of her gesture. She quickly noticed." I'm sorry master, I apologize. I understand" she mumbled a quick responseHe continued glaring at her for a while and her heart pounded faster than normal
*******'Look straight, look straight, don't look sideways, don't lock eyes, look straight" the words kept ringing in her mind as she walked through the foyer filled with students her age. Jex's college_ the school that had been on her mind since she was told about it_ Now she was finally here. Words could not explain how apprehensive she felt, walking amid people she had never seen before. She adjusted her newly done hairstyle_ A more straightened hair with bangs. Other than her regular frizzy one which had been basically ignored by her. It was as elegant as the girl's from the magazines Lydia occasionally sneaked into their room from the master's office.The students in the hallway didn't pay any form of attention to her, but she felt bizarre, different, to be more precise. Well, you couldn't blame her because she indeed was different.Aanya had already been to the Chancellor's office with Mr. Patrick_ She got to know his name, later on,_ ‘Her guardian’ She th
***********Tapping on the massive table in front of him, Duong's fingers went simultaneously while his other hand was filled with a glass of champagne. Patrick looked up to Duong who had chosen to remain silent for the past few minutes.The look on Duong's face remained unread as he continually stared, lost in thought. Patrick knew well enough what he was thinking, but decided not to bring the issue up. One of them was Dormos and every Ghista executive saw that confraternity as a huge problem to them.“She has been enrolled already?” Duong finally spoke up.“Yes, we have arranged everything, and she is settled in”“Good,” he remarked with a nod“ But why didn't you go for the other girl… Uhm” he tried to remember her name.“Aida? ““Yes that one”“I work with brains, not agility”“You never say that to the girls”“they don't need to know”The significance of that, Mr. Patrick proposed, was to have the girls as blindfolded as much they could. That had always worked.“Do you think, Dorm
Aanya was still trying to ascertain who in their right sense would play a piece of music that loud when the toilet door opened. A girl walked in with a toothbrush in her hand. Aanya's mouth dropped when her eyes caught hold of the girl. She was distinct, way distorted from the rest of the students, ranging from her strange pink punk hairstyle which was tattooed at the bald sides.Now, Aanya was sure that everyone in Jexs college was crazy! “Could my life get any worse?” that was the first thing that proceeded out of the girl's mouth as she stared at the both of them, glaring hard It took Aanya a while to realize that she was actually glaring at Stacey, not her. Stacey, on the other hand, had a grin on her face, and it seemed to piss Madison off the more.Madison already figured Aanya was her new roommate, judging from the luggage she carried, plus she did get a message from the counselor that she getting a new roommate, and she hated the idea. Seeing Stacey here made her more pissed
Aanya held the book to her chest as she made her way to her room. She just finished lectures, and it was hectic and stressful as usual, trying very hard to modify her brain to fit the complex topics taught by the lecturer. The pressure made her head slightly hurt.While walking, she passed a group of people and was about to make her way through when she heard her name mentioned. She turned to her side and her eyes caught Stacey amid numerous guys. Stacey had a cigarette on her lips. Did most students of Jex smoke? She asked inwardly.Stacey smiled at her, beckoning her to join her. Aanya thought against it for a while. The whole scene wasn't welcoming. Numerous (about 4) guys sat on the little stairway and Stacey in the middle. Their peering eyes bored holes into her, making her uncomfortable.She approached Stacey, as nervous as hell with her hand adjusting her hair to remove the strands that stuck to her face. A blonde with brown eyes, a Brunette with green eyes, a dark-skinned guy
