Chapter 2 Two. The Trap

Two. The Trap

Ravena.

"Ravena!" I heard my name. I stood from the wooden chair I was sitting on and walked to the front where my caller was. It was an aged woman, who looked to be in her mid-fifties. She had a scrawny look on her face, making her scary and unapproachable.

"Yes ma'am?"

She pushed a bucket and mop to me. "You will be cleaning the Frost mansion" she said to me.

I looked at her, disbelief flying across my face. "What?"

"Yes. You would. Be grateful that you're alive, not all families that commit treason get to see the light of the next day" she said and shoved me off.

"Serena!" She called the next person but I was already disinterested. I took my bucket and mop and headed for the Frost mansion. That was Roberts's mansion. To think one humiliation wasn't enough. They want to rub it on my face. But this is the price I get to pay in exchange for my life.

My parents were killed on the dusk of yesterday and a heavy downpour followed. I was allowed to live but then, I was demoted to the omega rank. I was angry. I was sad. But no one cared. No one to speak to. "You're on your own Rav" I said to myself.

The jeers of the pack, the laughters, the mockery on their faces as my family and I were led to the slaughter grounds was still vivid in my mind. I couldn't forget. Will never forget. It was scary.

I arrived at the Frost mansion, the two hefty men, looking at me.

"I'm here for cleanup" I said to them.

They opened the gates for me and I went in. This is a place I used to enter as though I owned it, but now I needed permission to enter it. I stepped into the main parlor and started my cleaning. It wasn't easy, as I have never cleaned, myself. I was clumsy, but careful as well. I don't want anyone yelling at me.

"She's quibbling with the whole thing. What if she does a shabby work?" I heard one of the workers say.

"What do you expect? A princess that fell from her throne? She wouldn't be able to do anything right" another added.

"Just like her father..." another said causing my hand to quiver. I paused in what I was cleaning.

"No work for today?" I heard someone say, and I quickly recognized the voice. It was my ex-fiancé's. The gossips scurried away as soon as they saw him. I swallowed and didn't bother turning. I just continued with my work.

"This new look is quite spectacular" he said with glee in his tone.

I didn't reply.

"Your superior is here, you don't even want to greet him".

I paused and then turned. "Good morning Alpha prince" I curtsied.

He scoffed. "Oh gosh...I can't believe this either".

I didn't speak again and continued cleaning. The sound of his footsteps approaching echoed in my ears. I wanted to burst out, and scream at him to keep his distance and not get close, but I couldn't. I should accept everything that comes my way now, including the humiliation.

"This..." he whispered into my ears, "suits you better Ravena. This omega point of you life, is where you actually belong" he said.

I bit down hard on my lips. "I still need to finish cleaning. Can you give me some space?" I managed to keep my voice polite.

He stepped back. "Sure. I can" he chuckled and started walking away.

Roberts's mansion was quite the size, so the cleaning was strenuous. By the time I was done, I was already tired and pale.

I returned to the Omega ground to report my work. I was standing in front of the old scrawny woman. Her gaze on me was quite stern.

"I'm done with the work ma'am" I said.

"Of course you are" she said. Taking out a pen, she ticked my name on the small notebook she had in her hand.

"Now you can go and have your meal" she said.

"Mm".

"Here" she said, passing me a bag.

"This is..."

"Medicine. Apply them, tomorrow is the Moonfang elite celebration. You need your strength".

I swallowed. "Yes ma'am. Thank you".

"Mm. The cafeteria is by the left".

"Okay".

"Ravena..." she called me, as I was about to go.

"Yes?"

"Bad things happen. But, how we face them is what matters. Get your head on straight and lift your shoulders. Be strong".

I swallowed. "Mm" was the reply before I left.

I rushed to a corner, stifling my cries. Tears spilled from my eyes. I should be strong. I should be! By the time I collected myself, my lips were bleeding already. I licked off the blood, allowing my lips to heal. Then I left for the cafeteria.

There were stares from every corner of the cafeteria on me. I, who use to be a star in the sky, unreachable, unattainable, is now very low, under the scrutiny of some omegas. I sat down, with my tray of food. Something which I myself would never call food. Gruel.

As I scooped the sticky liquid into my mouth, my nose stung with tears. But I bit them back in.

"Too bad for the fallen princess" someone said from above. I raised my head.

It was a girl with a red hair and two minions by her side. I didn't bother saying anything and continued eating. This tasted like vomit but I had no choice. This...is my life now.

"Is she ignoring us right now Velora?" one with a crisp voice said. And before I knew it, my hair was yanked from its root, throwing my head backwards.

"How dare you ignore Velora?!"

"What's your problem?" I asked with a glare.

"She's even talking back at us! How dare you?!" the one with my hair yelled and slapped me. It was tight and painful. But, I won't be taking this! Not from this bitches.

With that thought in my mind, I grabbed her hand, and twisted it away from my hair. She let out a pained groan but I didn't care and just flung her away from my side.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?! You were warned not to use your powers!" Velora yelled at me.

"I didn't. I could beat you without even using them! Don't you dare touch me again!"

"You stupid girl!" she growled and charged at me. As soon as she got close, I grabbed her by the hand, flipping her to the floor. I had just raised my hand into the air, to slam it into her carotid when a loud shout snapped me from my rage.

"Ravena! You thief! How dare you add more crimes to your list?!"

I raised my head and was immediately pushed back by Velora. My butt hit the ground as I clashed gazes with that sworn enemy of mine, standing at the entrance with a twisted smile on her face.

She cocked her head to the side. "Hey there Ravena, you really do have some nerve" she said.

Two men in Black charged towards me and that was the last of what I saw.
