Chapter 8 - CHAPTER EIGHT :DRUNK FOR POWER

 when I saw the shocked look on his face, i immediately knew he purposely sent us there to get our ass whimped, " yeah thought as much commander, scared to see a ghost huh !" I was practically raising my voice....anger was burning deep in me not only because he ditched me with two inexperienced fighters,he practically undersimated me which is one of the things I hate , nobody cares undersimate me ...yeah just saying though I belittle my self at times .

 "Natalya, that is something else...am proud of you" he said with a fake smile practically ignoring the comment I made..

 " yeah and before you ask about the untrained tier three you gave me ...they are already dead,I couldn't drag two heavy stuffs so I dropped them..." with that I turned my back to exit his office then he said something that grabbed my attention.

 "why don't we make a deal huh,so you don't go out telling people you helped me kill a villian I couldn't get after three trails" 

 " wait...what !,you sent me to go kill someone you couldn't kill after not one or two but three attempt sir,you really are cruel " I said with disgust on my face.

 "yes,I have heard that alot...are you in for the deal or not ,it's a juicy one you wouldn't wanna miss it..

 " are you bribing me, mr.commander ? ,if so then I probably should take my leave ! " I said out of curiosity but I turned slightly to face him this time .

 " it's a bribe , Natalya...and it's a shame you don't accept those.." before he could continue I already sat on the couch next to me keenly staring at him.

 "I thought you were leaving..? he said with a surprised tone can 

 "Well I just can't miss a deal can I ? ,let's forget its a bribe am all ears "I cunningly said bribe or whatever that is that he wants to say would definitely add to my chance of surviving here and I can't miss it.

 " I can make you the head lead for tier two that's a first then second is that you get three square meals each day delivered to you and the last most juicy one is that you get to do whatever you want and you can choose not to fight." he spoke really fast and was trying to catch his breath but whatever this is am accepting it but I have to be careful this man is full of unworthy surprises and I don't want to give him chance to blind me with greed yeah am calling this greed ...and to be sincere every successful person has to be greedy for power and this is my one and only chance to gain popularity and power and I can't let it slide.

 " that's a nice offer,I would love to accept it ...but what's in there for you cause it seems to favour only me ..'' I asked intentionally acting uninterested for the deal but I was already drooling for it .

 " you get to work for me .." this statement made me shoot my eyes up ...nahh am not doing this shit again..but to come think of it not that bad...

 " And what kind of work,are we talking about,sir ? I asked out of curiosity ...oh God please let it be hunting villians I love doing it though it part of risk bearing ...

 " most of it is what you already did today,and the other part is that you get to be the lead on all the fight..." he said like he didn't even notice I was just fourteen yeah guys ...am already fourteen turned it few days ago when my dad brought me chocolates ...

 " Am in ,but I need assurance that am going in with sufficient weapons,they are not my size but I can take them out with weapons.." with that commander gave me a book to sign which I found funny cause ...his offering me a bribe and am accepting and he still had enough pride left to keep it signed on papers.

 when I was done signing we had a few conversation and I left his office to my room. i immediately went to bathroom and took a nice cold bath...yeah that feels so good ...I dried myself up and got dressed into something casual just a shirt,I love wearing plain shirt and just nothing special a short that was just a little above my knee ..I smelled good I could feel that...I definitely just smelt my self ...

 I lazily layed down on my bed and squeezed the shits I really need to sleep right now just praying I don't get interrupted this time ..

 "hey, Natalya...'' I practically pretended like I didn't here it just five minutes to entering my world of dreams and there Tasi goes tapping me to wake up...nah I ain't waking up ..am too tired...

 " Natalya !" with that I jolted up Immediately.

 "girl,what the fuck was that for...?'' I said with anger visible noticeable when I spoke .

 "And cut that attitude...don't give it to me ,you literally left here early today and you're just coming back now ...to do ...what to sleep huh ...where the fuck have you been Natalya" she asked with anger and was giving me the " don't lie to me stare" but nahhhh i will pass can't risk my juicy offer for this.

 " Natalya, I asked you a question and I...'' before she could continue I cut her off ...

 " Tasi am just so exhausted,you know commander called me over to his office and made me squat over for hours and my back's are aching me like hell right now ...he practically did that maybe as a pay back that I killed his favorite or something" that was a fully sweet lie but what can I do ...I lose power I need to conqueir it.

 " Awwn ,am so sorry Natalya that must have been so painful to bear I mean with the heat and everything he made you pass through and his a very annoying man right..'' she said out of, I don't know maybe what you guys call concern I don't how it feels like .

 " yeah and it really wasn't a joke ,he said harsh stuffs to me " I said playing along trying to act like I was sulking.

 "And I know that but you still got to get your ass up there we need to go to the field...now ! she said with no remorse.

 " wait...what !...
