At night,
A girl with chestnut brown hair was seen reading a book in the girls’ dormitory. The atmosphere in the room was dark, but candlelight saved the situation, so the virgin could still carry out this action, even though the light was not as bright as sunlight. In the midst of the silence there, she suddenly remembered the five teenagers who liked to bully, especially the young girl named Odessa.
“Why do I remember Odessa and her friends, huh? Will they be released from detention soon?” Alexa muttered softly.
When the young lady was about to continue reading, drowsiness began to come on without any control, so she yawned. “Is it midnight already? Why do I feel tired?”
The longer Alexa sat in a chair, the stronger the feeling of drowsiness became. The daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira could not dodge it any longer, so she was forced to close the book, then put the object in a drawer and walk towards the bed. When she arrived there, the girl lay down as soon as possible. “Will Odessa and her friends do evil again when they are free from punishment? I want to see their plan.”
Without further ado, the teenage girl fell asleep after saying those words. A mysterious woman had appeared in the darkness, carrying a torch in her right hand. “I still remember Odessa. She was the one who always tormented Alexa. If I am not mistaken, they should be free from detention soon. I will see what will happen next.”
The mysterious woman snapped her fingers with her left hand, and then two large black dogs appeared from the darkness. They barked as if to say they were both ready when the Queen of Witches ordered them. “Tatvatha and Tegothra, from today until the next two months, you must follow the Chosen One wherever he goes. Never let go of supervision, let alone leave her alone. Do you two understand?”
The two dogs barked twice as if answering a question from the Goddess of Witchcraft. The long-haired woman smiled happily when she saw this response. “Remember: never leave Alexa alone. If there are humans who want to hurt her, I allow you to pounce on them. But do not kill them. Let the people with evil intentions be seriously injured and experience deep trauma so that the Chosen One does not be disturbed again. You get it?”
The two big black dogs barked again, making the mysterious woman smile again. “I entrust the Chosen One to you. Take good care of her.”
That immortal goddess holding the torch disappeared from there, leaving behind her two pet dogs. They looked at the bed, where a girl was fast asleep. Without hesitation, the magical dogs approached the target and stood on the bed’s left side.

Meanwhile, in Alexa’s dreamland
The hazel-eyed woman walked in the dark. She could not see anything clearly because everything was black. This moment made that girl confused. She did not know what to do. “Where am I now? Why do I always have strange dreams every night?” said Alexa, surprised.
“Which direction should I go? There is no light at all, so everything is scary.” That young lady was silent for several minutes as if thinking about something.
“I will not get anything if I stay here. It is better to keep moving forward, even though I do not know what will happen next.” The intelligent girl has made a choice, even though her decision feels heavy for her.
Alexa felt a cold air touch her skin but tried to ignore it. The young woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, continued to walk, even though everything around her felt uncertain.
“Hopefully, there will be light later, so I can know where I am,” hoped Alexa, who was still trying to see everything from the positive side.
The further the young woman walked, the further she saw that there was a speck of light in front of her, about two hundred meters from where she was standing. A sense of optimism rose within Alexa because she felt she was on the right path. The girl from the nobility smiled sweetly, then quickened her steps. “Finally! I am sure it must be a safe place. Yeah. Even in a dream, I still have to look for a safe place because anything can happen, including being chased by wild animals.”
The tall and slim girl kept walking, as if she never knew tired, to reach the place where there was light. The longer she walked, the more the light became visible, which made Alexa’s enthusiasm even greater. When she was there, the virgin saw that there were several separate rooms and there were several torches for lighting.
The atmosphere in the area was tranquil because no one was chatting, and there was not the slightest sound. “What kind of place is this? Is this a prison?” Alexa muttered, looking around.
Alexa had not found anything suspicious, but she felt nauseous because she smelled a strong, musty smell. The young lady spontaneously covered her nose with her right palm and tried to vomit there. The quiet atmosphere made the girl hesitate, but she had not yet found an alternative place because that was the only place she saw the light from several torches.
What should I do now? There are no other humans to ask for help, but if you get out of here, will the results be better? Should I check the partitioned room? Hopefully, there is someone there so that I can chat, thought Alexa, who was trying to ignore the unpleasant smell.
“I am hungry.” The faint moaning sound silenced the chestnut brown-haired teenage girl.
Did I hear correctly? I heard someone else’s voice, but where did it come from? Thought the teenage girl with a sharp nose. She tried to walk while still covering her nose because she still smelled the strong smell from the underground.
“Do not be silly. Go to sleep, Drena!” This time, Alexa stopped moving because she knew exactly who the owner of the second voice she had just heard was.
“Odessa? Isn’t it possible for me to go to the underground detention room?” said Alexa, slowly. She stepped back because she wanted to know what had happened there and heard more of the conversation between the two girls.
“I want to get out of this crazy place as soon as possible. When we lived in the girls’ dormitory, we could eat three times a day, but since being punished, we can eat once or twice a day. That is not enough for me.” The red-haired woman deliberately ignored the other person’s words, which annoyed Odessa.
“We will definitely be free from punishment soon. It is only a matter of time. It is already night. Your crying is also useless because nothing will change.” The girl who loved torturing Alexa was already annoyed because her sleep was disturbed by her female friend’s complaints. Meanwhile, the three young guys in their respective detention rooms were still asleep, as if they were not disturbed by Odessa and Drena’s chatter.
A woman, who had a height of one hundred and sixty-seven centimeters tall was silent, even though she still felt hungry. Unlike the case with Odessa, the blonde girl tried to go back to sleep because she was still sleepy. Without the two young women realizing it, Alexa, who was listening to their conversation, could not speak and chose to remain silent.
“I wish I could sleep in my warm bed. It is freezing and smelly here. O Goddess Asiles, can you make me out of this prison as soon as possible?” Drena spoke slowly because she did not want to disturb her four friends, especially Odessa.
I could only hear voices and did not know where Drena was and which room Odessa was in. I feel sorry for her, too, because she got such a harsh punishment. But hey! Drena is part of a group who likes to bully, so why feel sorry for her? They deserve the severe punishment. Alexa erased her pity, remembering what they had done to her.
“How long have I, Odessa, Frazto, Drutz, and Shul been serving punishment from Madame Aufrodine? Hopefully, today or tomorrow, there will be certainty about our release from the detention room. This place is really like a prison because you can’t go anywhere; activities are limited, especially food and drinks are reduced.” Drena became very sad because she tried to close her eyes, but it was all in vain because her stomach hurt.
The messenger of Goddess Magia tried to see who was in the detention room, but she could not do this because the room occupants were sleeping to the right; some were to the left so that all Alexa saw that her back and the darkness coming from there.
“Should I wake one of them or just greet Drena? But what if later they get scared and think of me as a ghost?” Alexa asked herself in a tiny voice so as not to be heard by others.
“Should I-”
