Threatened

"Hey, are you okay?” Selena asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.

“Yeah,I am,” l replied facing her as l faked a smile.

“Okay then,” she shrugged her shoulders as she continued walking so l turned to look back at him but to my surprise, he wasn't there anymore.

“I'm sure l saw him here earlier,” l murmured under my breath.

“Where could he have disappeared to?” I questioned myself as l continued looking for him and not concentrating on my steps.

“Arizona,” l heard a voice and turned to its direction only to find Lina staring at me.

“Hum,” l answered her,although my attention was not fully on her.

“Who are you looking for?” she snapped at me and I came back to reality.

“No one,” l replied in a hurry and took her hand

“Common, let's get going, I'm starving,” l told her, and without waiting for a reply l dragged her.

“Fine, let go of me,l can walk by myself,” she said and l let go of her hand as we continued walking.

(Falcon office)

Falcon could be seen on his laptop and a cup of coffee placed on his table, at that moment a knock came on the door.

“Come in,” he said not caring who was there, and the door opened revealing a strange figure walking in.

“Good day boss,” the figure greeted, hearing the voice Falcons raised his head away from his system with no single expression on his face.

“Any good news Venom?” He asked.

“Not really,but l have some questions,” Venom replied hoping Falcon would tell him to sit but instead he…..

“Sure, what's the question?” He questioned and Venom couldn't help but stare at him in disbelief for almost two minutes, and Falcon on the other side ran out of patience because of his sluggishness.

“If you have nothing to say, you can use the door,” he said calmly but coldly and continued his business on his system.

‘If it were another member who acted like this, the person's head would have been cut off’ Falcon thought,but because he was his childhood friend he kept quiet.

“Won't you offer me a seat?” Venom finally asked with a furrowed eyebrow.

“And was that why you wasted my time?" Falcon questioned him not tearing his eyes away from his system.

“Maybe,” he replied and sat down in front of Falcon.

“l thought you were waiting for my reply,” Falcon said and his gaze fell on Venom.

“Finally, he looked at me,” Venom said in sarcasm.

“I thought your work was more important than me,” he continued.

“What do you want?" Falcon questioned, looking at Venom with all forms of seriousness.

“Wooh! So cold. can't you put a smile on your face for once, hum? Just like me," Venom said, demonstrating how to smile.

“I won't repeat myself. If l knew you were this jobless, l would have given you a job, so it is either you speak or leave, the ball is in your court,” Falcon said as he focused back on his laptop.

“Fine. I saw a sexy girl in the clan today and I'm sure she is a stranger because her face doesn't look familiar, so, do you know who she might be?” Venom asked as he was trying to remember how the girl looked, and Falcon on the other hand kept staring at him with a ‘what a useless question’ expression.

“Was that your question?" Falcon questioned in disbelief.

"Yes,” he replied proudly.

"Ah, gosh, l can't believe he wasted my time for this fool l called a friend,” Falcon murmured under his breath.

“Did you say something?” Venom replied.

“Get out!” The cold reply of Falcon came and Venom was shocked.

“Why? hey, calm down bro,I just asked you a question," Venom said with raised eyebrows.

"Which deserves no answer, use the door if you still love your head," Falcon threatened and without waiting for a response, he left his office.

“Wow, that guy doesn't want to change at all,” Venom told no one in particular and left as he continued thinking of the girl he saw.

“l guess l just have to ask someone else, Gosh,she is so hot," he told himself,smiling,as he continued walking….

( Dining hall)

Low murmurings, gistings and gossips could be heard at different angles, some were talking about how their day went, while some were talking about the news that was now treading on the clan blogs about the new girl whose dressing was out of the world.

Some minutes later, two figures walked inside the hall and all eyes fell on them, lest I forget, the murmurings increased because ‘l’ Arizona had now become the talk of the clan….

“Woh! A lot of eyes are on me,” l said anxiously as I continued walking.

“Don't worry, they will soon stop," Lina eased me.

"Really??" I asked in disbelief because the eyes that were on me were too heavy to carry.

“Yes, it is because you are new here, that's why," Lina said, and when she still felt my gaze on her she spoke.

“Don't worry you will get used to it," she told me and I nodded, although I didn't understand what she meant by that,but I just prayed that it wasn't what I was thinking.

When we got to where her friends were sitting, she greeted them before introducing me.

“So guys, this is Arizona and she is new here and Ari, this is my friends Klein, Landon, Blaze, and Hellcat,” Lina listed their names, and l was a little happy.

“Wow, all boys except for a female. Nice,” l murmured under my breath.

“Hey, it's nice meeting you all,” l greeted them politely.

“Yeah, same here," one of Lisa's friends named Klein replied.

“Nice meeting you also,” Hellcat, the only female, replied.

“Wow, such a beauty, it's an honor to meet such a lovely and beautiful angel like you,” Blaze lastly replied and l blushed inwardly.

“Thanks for the compliment,” l appreciated, as a smile appeared on my face

“Don't get too excited darling, Blaze is a playboy, so don't get too close,” Hellcat advised me.

“Hey, that was rude, how can you talk about me like that in front of a gorgeous stranger,” Blaze snapped at Hellcat.

“There he goes again,” Klein said in sarcasm and we all chuckled except for Landon who had been quiet all this while, l guess he doesn't like me, or maybe he is the silent type.

“Landon, why are you quiet all of a sudden, and besides you haven't welcomed Ari,” Lina said but Landon didn't reply instead he continued eating, and when he felt that we were all staring at him,he looked at Ari and put on a fake smile.

“Welcome," he said in barely a whisper and continued eating.

“Yeah," I replied and smiled at him also. Everywhere was silent for a second which was kind of awkward, so I decided to break the silence.

“So guys, l need to know more about you,but firstly, I'm hungry, so who serves here?” I asked them.

“Let me show you, follow me," Hellcat said and as l was about to follow her, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

“Hey, follow me!” The figure order, facing me.

“And who are you to order her

Stormy?" Blaze asked.

"It's none of your business, Blaze, so stay out of it” Stormy replied rudely.

“And you, why are you still looking at me? Follow me!” she deadpanned.

“Why should l?” I asked innocently and she scoffed.

“Wow, you haven't spent up to a day here and all these fools you call friends have already manipulated you," Stormy busted out.

"Mind your words Stormy," Landon warned her.

"Oh! The quiet boy is now talking, l thought you were deaf!" Stormy blurted and Landon stood up angrily causing the other clan to look at the scene.

“Repeat what you said if you don't want to see the next minute!” he threatened.

“Whatever, empty threat," She said and rolled her eyes.

"And you," she faced me.

“The boss said you should come serve him, so if you love your head follow me,” she said, and without waiting for a response she left.

“Asshole," Landon said and hissed before he left.

“I better get going," l told Lina.

"Yeah, see you later," Lina replied, and l left.

After l was given Falcons food, l headed towards his room and l knocked.

“Come in," came his cold reply and l hesitated for a second before l entered.

When I entered, l saw him sitting on a couch with his phone.

“Here is your food," l said and he looked at me as if he was expecting me to say something else, so I finished my statement by saying

“Boss,” came the short word from my mouth.

“Okay, drop it," he ordered, and when l did, l was about to go out but he stopped me.

“Did l give you permission to leave?" He asked with a furrowed eyebrow.

“Hum, no boss," l replied and bent my head.

“So where were you going?" He snapped at me, and without waiting for a reply, he continued speaking.

"Stay, until I'm through with eating,” he said coldly.

"What??” I questioned him, not because l was lazy but because I

haven't eaten.

"What?” He asked me with a cold gaze that sent shivers down my spine.

"I have…n’t ea..ten” l shuttered and he looked at me with a suspicious gaze, and scoffed silently.

"So? If l can remember l wasn't the one that told you to become the talk of the town, was l?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, and that was when I remembered how he stared at me some hours ago before he was out of sight.

‘but why is he bringing it up again?’ l thought to myself and as if he read my thoughts he spoke.

“Because I didn't comment on the way you dress that doesn't mean I am comfortable with it,” he said"

“Why?? It's my body,” l protested.

"Oh, but you are mine now, or have you forgotten?” he asked with a serious face, and he stood up, walking closer to me, I also started moving back with each step he took, and as I parted my lips to talk, he spoke.

“Won't you agree with me if l say that your clothes are too revealing?" He questioned.

“But that was what they gave me,” l replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Then you shouldn't have worn it," he said and walked back to take his seat, “l will be setting new rules for you and you must follow it, if not, consider your head gone. Rule one......
