Is this right? Is she supposed to be there?
Damn! Alita needs someone, this seems more like an evil plot. Even if she does not want to care, she is curious to care just to hear the rest part of the story.
“Lu had refused to say what we what to do or how to attack” the person began again, anger coating his words as if they were venomous “he just asked up to follow his right hand, Rocco’s order, and do whatever he asked us to do”.
Silent.
The person went silent for a while again then continued, this time quieter, Alita had to strain her ears to barely hear the whispers.
“He said he will arrive by 6:30 with his new toy. Don’t worry about her, Lu hates her so much, he just wants to keep her as collateral damage”.
Oh shit!
Alita froze, her lungs seems too cold to breathe as her heart pound faster as if it would explode. She hopes they are not talking about her, at least not making her worthless collateral. Even if she is not only scared of freezing to death, the fact that she might as well meet her doom tomorrow freaks her out.
Rocco!
She needs to get to Rocco fast but who would she say she saw or what his name is, the only thing she noticed is that he has a tattoo on the back of his palm, in-between his thumb and index finger.
A familiar tattoo but with the hint of something extra, it looks like two doves glued together but in different colors.
************
Alita sat restlessly, she kept going to pee as Felicia and another lady she had never seen dressed her for the party. This isn’t supposed to be called a party, it is supposed to be a funeral, her own funeral. She should pee all she wants now because the next thing she would remember is walking to her graze after almost freezing to death some hours ago.
Yes, she could not find her way back and that lead her to pass out in the snow. Ice can be hell, cold hell, just like Lu.
‘He said he will arrive by 6:30 with his new toy. Don’t worry about her, Lu hates her so much, he just wants to keep her as collateral damage’.
If Lu hates her so much, why does he still give her? Why hasn’t he just killed her since or sell her out as Rocco had talked about? Maybe today would tell. Getting dressed in the worst attire ever, Alita waited for her doom.
Her straight hair was neatly combed and more straight and poured above her shoulders and back. Her ears had dull-looking earrings while her neck had what looked like the most expensive necklace.
A Diamond necklace.
A choker, black leather choker was placed on her neck, it had four tight tiny belts making her a little uncomfortable breathing well. She wasn’t concerned about it as she kept thinking about the Diamond necklace she was asked not to touch.
The pedals look like a red diamond, it was almost like a drop of blood had been used to make the ornament possess its unique look.
Who know it was?
The armless red gown she was asked to wear hugged her body, it has a straight cut from both sides of her ankles to both sides of her thighs, exposing the black lingerie she wore. Her cleavage wasn’t left behind as it carried what Lu calls the most important thing in the mission.
It carries the bloody Diamond!
It’s almost five-thirty and she hasn’t had the time to see Rocco or Lu after he came to put the diamond on her neck. He asked her not to touch it, that if she does, it would zap the life out of her.
Immediately after the ladies finished dressing her, they offered to take her to Lu’s room as he had asked them to.
Standing at the mirror in her new room to watch how sexy she look, Alita kept blinking back the tears in her eyes, she wouldn’t want to stress the ladies to redo her make-up.
She felt glorified by how sexy she looked, of no doubt, she looks like a sex slave ready to be used as a BDSM partner. The leather choker has tiny Silver chains that connect to the leather wristbands she wore.
“Do you think I will die?” She suddenly asked the ladies.
The two exchange stares not understanding what Alita was talking about. They had little idea that for her to be dressed up, would be a very dangerous event and anything can happen.
“You have never spoken to me since I have been assigned to take care of you but I love you,” Felicia said, “Unlike many other girls that have had the opportunity to stay in Mr. Lu’s room you treat me more like a human, smile at me and let me know I am still of this world”.
Irritated Alita could not show it, not when she doesn’t want to kill the poor woman’s hope. The annoying part was when she asked for another thing and got another different reply.
Felicia held forth her hands and walk to Alita who entangled her fingers with Felicia’s own immediately.
“I am sorry I just don’t know what to say” Alita sniffed.
Felicia smiled, she pulled Alita into a tight hug and sigh.
“It’s okay, Alita” she pulled back to look at her face “I trust my boss, he will protect you. Now let’s get you to him before you get lost again”
Lost again?
Can’t she just almost bury herself in the snow and call it a joke?
Maybe not, she almost froze to death, have that in mind.
Alita forced a cracked smile, she tails behind Felicia with the other lady behind her. Yesterday’s memory replay itself in her head and she giggled, who would have thought she passed out in the snow and was found by one of Lu’s men.
