Chapter 3 3

Chapter 3.

Luna Morgan woke up the next day feeling so hungry, she looked by her side to see it empty, "Where's Drac?" She wondered, calling her cat by it name, though she had no time to think more deeply on it whereabouts as she knew that her stepmother would come bagging on her door any moment from then.

Luna manage a walk to her bathroom to take a bath and get ready for the day's work. Though she was suffering in the hands of her stepmother and stepsister, she still had a nice room for herself, a room personally beautified by her father before he dies, the room was actually the only thing kept for her out of all the things she owned when her father was alive.

When she was done with bathing, she dressed up and sat down on her bed, waiting to be called by her stepmother.

A knock or rather a sound suddenly resounded on her doorpost, Luna was slightly scared to open up the door but she braced up herself and opened up, she was astonished to see Drac, waiting at the door, with a tray by it side. "What the hell!" She said in a whisper, almost squeaking out loud.

Drac didn't freaked out, it held the food tray with it teeth and drag it inside her room, Luna shut the door, still terrified.

Drac left the tray on the floor, walked up to her bed and sat down, while staring at Luna meekly, giving her out words to eat.

A tear escaped Luna's eye, she was so moved, she haven't felt to overwhelmed since she lost her dad, but she had no time to think, her step mom can walk in anytime, so she sat down on the floor, opened the covered plate to beheld her favorite food, mayonnaise grease chips and chicken.

"Where the hell do you got this from?" She asked the cat, already devouring the food with no hesitation, she didn't mind if the food was poisoned, she has it in her mind that she will gladly die with good food in her stomach, so that she will be able to have the strength to fly to heaven.

Luna ate the food in such an hurry, she won't want to get caught, she only let go of the plate when she was sure that it was linked clean, she drank the juice which the cat brought with the food and she became filled.

"I can't possibly return this plate to the kitchen in my right senses, what should I do with it? It can be declared missing and the first place to search will be my room, I'm sure of that."

Drac swept it fur backwards before jumping down from the bed, it drove under the bed meowing, passing some messages to Luna but though Luna understood it, she disagreed, knowing she will be detected.

Drac didn't came out from beneath the bed, so Luna decided to check it out, she realized that there was an opening like a door under the bed, though it was little, only a genius will notice.

"Thank you Drac, I don't know how you do or know all these but I love it, though don't try it again next time, we might not be lucky." She dumped the plate, cup, tray and everything Drac had brought into the hole, shut the door right back, arrange back her bed to it position and sat down, waiting for her stepmother's call.

The door to Luna's room was forcefully opened at that same minute and her step mom stomped in, throwing her an hard glare. "What are you doing in here since morning you ungrateful child? Don't tell me you are just waking up!" Rebecca yelled, shouting on top of her voice.

"I'm sorry mo...... I mean ma, I am waiting for you to give me some food, I'm so hungry." Luna pretended to be hungry so as not to draw her stepmother's attention towards herself, she clenched to her stomach, producing some fake tears from her eyes to see her stepmother reaction.

"Stop whining and get out of here to the kitchen right now!" Rebecca shouted, almost bringing down the building of her room with her shout. "The alpha-to-be's party is in a week time and all you are thinking of right now is food instead of thinking on how to help bring all the menu to the table before this week runs out, you are shamelessly thinking about food for yourself? Get out of here right now or I will make you my food!" Luna ran out of her room immediately, heading straight to the kitchen.

She met the kitchen in a bad condition, fear and sadness lingering on the faces of the maids, including the chief maid, they all turned to her immediately she entered. "Oh! Its only the weak girl!" The chief maid exclaimed, releasing a sigh of relief. "Where have you been all these while? You are just coming to the kitchen after all these while, where were you?"

"I was in my room waiting for my mom to bring me some food as I am so hungry." Luna said, not looking at anyone of them in the eye.

"So, your dead mom do bring you food?" A maid asked, causing all the other maid to laugh. "Is anything funny to you all right now?" The chief maid asked furiously and silence enveloped the kitchen. "W.....what is happening?" Luna managed to stammer out.

"The alpha-to-be ordered a food in his favorite plate, I forgot to take his water with me, then I dropped the food on the table before the stairs, came back to the kitchen, grab the bottle but returned to the table I dropped the tray only to see it empty!" The chief maid said soberly.

"No wonder, if it was one of the maids who lose the food, her head could have been on fire since and if it was to be me...... I don't even want to think of it. But wait, do they said food in a tray?" Luna gulped, realization hitting her. "Drac brought me the prince's food and I ate it!" She screamed within, shaking outside.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" A maid asked, noticing the changes in Luna, "I don't know." They all replied in unison. They got distracted when they heard the alpha-to-be's voice.

"Where the hell is my food? Do you want me to die of hunger?" They all froze up in fright.
