The Crazy Girl
Jocelyn turned and glanced behind her to confirm whether the guards were still at the position she asked them to stand. When she had confirmed that they hadn't moved a muscle she brought back her attention to the two girls staring at her.
"I know since you both are strangers I am not supposed to divulge too much information but since you are my survivors I will not hold back," Jocelyn said seriously. She readjusted the way she sat.
Afterwards, she went ahead to narrate what happened before they met her inside the water earlier.
As usual, she had snuck out of the packhouse that had the best security in the pack. She was bouncing and smiling after she successfully snuck out of the tight security house when she felt the presence of a second party.
She turned around only to see two masked men standing in front of her. Before she could react a third person whom she never knew existed hit her hard at the back of her neck. Owing to this she passed out.
The next thing she realised after regaining consciousness was that she found herself in the deep part of the sea.
As the sister of the Great Alpha of Golden Core Pack, swimming was supposed to be a child's play to her but she has never been fond of training whenever it was time for training.
Instead of training like those of her age in the pack she was always fond of sneaking out to play.
When she found herself drowning in the water earlier, she had regretted always being playful. If not because of her persistence she wouldn't have been able to last inside the water until Joanna and Audrey coincidentally arrived at the beach the time they did.
"Here I thought that this place would be a little humane since it is secluded from the rest of the world but I guess I was wrong. It is no different from the world where we come from," Audrey remarked with a blank expression.
"The world where you come from?" Jocelyn asked. She gave them curious glances as she waited for their response.
"At first glance, I knew that you both were strangers since I couldn't recognise you but I am very curious to know where you come from. Are you both from the human world or Kingdom Twipera?" Jocelyn's eyes sparkled as she waited for their response. Seeing the excitement in her eyes Joanna wondered why the girl looked so excited.
"Why are you asking for our origin, isn't the basic pleasantries to exchange names before anything else?" Audrey asked.
After what she experienced there she was reluctant to make friends with anyone and Joanna could see this whenever she talked.
And she couldn't blame Audrey for being wary of everything and anyone. Anyone who went through what they did for the past three nights would behave exactly as Audrey did or even worse.
"Sorry about my manners," Jocelyn said. She extended her hand for a handshake. "My name is Jocelyn Kyle but I am popularly called by the name Crazy girl here. It's nice to meet you both".
Jocelyn's smile broadened as she waited for either Audrey or Joanna to respond first.
"I am Joanna and I am popularly known as Weakling in the kingdom," Joanna said playfully as she shook Jocelyn's hands.
"Who says you are a Weakling? Have you ever seen a weakling who rushed into the sea to save someone without thinking about her life?" Audrey refuted Joanna's words.
"Everyone thinks so, you are the only one who thinks otherwise…,"
"Not only me but also Tony and Kayden. The others are just blind that is why," Audrey said firmly. Jocelyn watched them talk. The lingering smile on her face showed she was enjoying the two friends' bickering.
Joanna composed herself when she saw how keenly Jocelyn was looking at them.
"She has a weird way of defending me and that sometimes leaves me speechless," Joanna said as she forced a smile.
"She is Audrey, she is popularly known as tomboy, I am sure you don't need me to tell you the reason why she is called this way judging from the way she is dressed," Joanna said. She resisted the urge to burst out laughing when her eyes landed on Audrey's pouty lips.
"Hey what does that mean Anna huh? Do you mean to say I dressed like a boy…,"
"You said that yourself but you didn't hear it from my mouth," Joanna quickly denied her allegations.
Jocelyn pulled closer to them to the surprise of both Joanna and Audrey.
Although they haven't had the opportunity to meet a lot of people since they got to the pack, the few people they ran into always avoided them like they were plagues.
The way they looked at them showed nothing but contempt. Seeing this strange girl get closer and even talk to them nicely surprised them.
"So what's your world like hmm?" Jocelyn asked. Her eyes glistened as she stared at Joanna's face for a reply.
"Magnus and a few of the people who had left the pack for one reason or the other often tell stories about the human world and the Kingdom. I always feel like their narration is often exaggerated so I want to listen to what you both say."
"I have this feeling that you both will not lie or exaggerate about what the world out there is like," Jocelyn concluded with a smile.
"If you are so curious about how the world out there operates then why don't you go out and see it for yourself…,"
