Selection 5

I don't know why Lucien saved me. Maybe he wanted to kill me by himself,, but I find it unlikely. He was my prince charming once in my daydreams. I still remember the day I found out it was Lycan prince. I was going to the market to buy something for myself. But we didn't have money anymore, so we worked out a barter system.

I noticed that there was a flyer just above the main gate. It's the same place where the selection used to take place. I wouldn't have noticed except for the green eyes staring back at me. I felt as if I couldn't breathe, his face devoid of any emotion just like the killer he was. The caption read congratulations on his engagement and how he brave heatedly killed hundreds of humans, as though we need a reminder of his actions.

I wanted to throw something at the poster and cry like a madwoman. But I carefully held my emotions in control and slowly pulled back. I had enough of seeing his fucking face. I would like to spit at it if I can have it. Not only that, but I remembered the other day when I was so close to him, I could have touched him. If today I saw him, I wouldn't hesitate to throw my knife at him.

He might have saved me,, but I will never forget what he had done to me and millions like me. When the right time comes he would pay for his misdeeds, probably with his life. I only pray that I was there to witness it. In those few moments, I have seen him. I considered him to be a nobody like me struggling to find a way out.

I reached home, but there was no one there, I was surprised to see that since grandma is never late. I noticed a crumpled note on my door.

"Your grandma is not well. It's not anything serious. We have taken her to the healer. Come as soon as you get this"

Bee

Bee was our Sweet neighbor who was very kind, and she lived with her son. His father had died in the warlike mine. But we hardly ever talk because of my wild nature and outdoor pursuits. Instead, he was a man who liked to remain indoors.

Whenever we met, he was courteous and well-mannered. Bee spoke for her son and herself. She secretly harbors a desire for me and her son to get together. It was a lost cause since we were two different people, but I'm not against hooking up either, I'm no self-righteous bitch. Plus I think it would be weird to hook up with your neighbor what if it ends badly?

All these limited options have left me a virgin, but with a dirty mind. I wanted to get rid of my virginity,, but I couldn't find any suitable candidates. The old guy from the shop just creeps me out, and so does the rest of the male population in my small village. I wanted a fuck buddy to be precise, I didn't want anyone to endanger my quest for vengeance though how impractical it was.

They live in a court surrounded by security, I can't even get inside without scoring a job first. They don't care for humans for employees, since they find us too boring. The one thing they gave us full mark was our fucking skills. Hence, the ladies of the human population have found their way into the selection or pleasure squad. It was humiliating, but they haven't forced us only they make it a big deal out of it holding auditions making us do God knows what.

My heart was racing by the time I reached the healer. Bee hadn't left yet. But there was no sign of her son, so no need for saying awkward hello.

Bee smiled at me and said, "It's ok darling, nothing to worry about. I thought I mentioned that in the note". She looked at me dubiously, I was looking like a wreck I came here without changing my clothes.

" I was on the hunt", I explained myself. She nodded her head. She knew I went hunting every day, it paid for our lodgings. The landlady was a bitch who is waiting for us to miss our rent for tossing us out. She was a very loud lady only caring about money, though she had no scarcity of that.

"Can I see her?", I asked. " Of course, my dear", she said enthusiastically. I slowly walked inside to see grandma. I have never seen her lying in the bed unwell. She always says she wants to die while working. She is the only family I have left.

I hugged her sleeping form. I heard her sigh many times before saying, "My sweetheart Lima, forgive your mama. I want to see you one last time before I die", she whispered. I couldn't help the tears running down my cheeks. "I miss her too, grandma. I will bring her to you. I promise", I told her.

After staying sometimes, I left her room. I saw Bee looking at me pathetically. I tried to control my pain,, but I couldn't hide anything, my face is a good indicator of moods. People will have no trouble guessing my thoughts, I was born with a pretty face. I wasn't extraordinary, just pretty. For once, it's going to help me get what I want.

I stayed outside the healer's place all day. But to my surprise, Bee's son came to talk to me. I tried to give him some money I have,, but he blatantly refused it. " So I was thinking to bring Aunt Lima back", I said casually, so much for the first talk. I have seen Ramon all my life very quiet and a possible introvert. But he looked great if you are into chocolate boys.

"Didn't she volunteer to join", he said to discourage. "It wasn't like there was a career for her here", I said now regretting telling him my plans.

" It's dangerous, there is a reason no one from pleasure squad ever comes back", he said. "Why is that"?, I asked him. Because they are cowards, taking the easy way out. I wanted to disagree,, but there was no point in my mind was made. I will do it with or without help.
