Chapter 005

~Chapter 005~

Elara got to her hostel, pulled off her uniform, flung it on the floor, and went straight into the shower. She was dumbfounded in the bathroom; she turned on the shower, squatting against the bathroom wall with her towel on, allowing the water to pour down directly on her hair without Elara resisting. Holding both her knees together with her hands, she gasped for air under the water, letting her tears flow freely.

"Elara...! Elara...!Ela..!" Kate saw her leaving the director's office in chaos and decided to followed her. Kate kept on yelling her name but there was no response. Kate then noticed water gradually dripping from the bathroom door. Kate gripped the handle of the door trying to force the bathroom door open.

"Elara!, Please open the door. Do you want to get yourself killed?" kate yelled still holding tight to the door. Then she heard sounds from behind door like someone was opening the door. Kate left the handle and moved away from the door. Waiting for her to come out. Elara finally came out butt naked with her towel in the other hand dripping of water.

"Why are you yelling out my name" Elara speaks with a harsh tone. Kate was dumbfounded for a minute. 

" I thought..." Elara cut her before she could finish her statement.

" As you can see, I am okay." Elara says as she walks way from where Kate stood. Picking up her uniform from the floor, putting on her dress and went to the laundry room.

Kate stood amazed. Could not place the scenerio that just happened. Elara fixed her uniform into the washing machine, moved way from the machine placing her head on the wall.

" That was close.." Huffing loudly. Patting herself as she moves around the laundry room still panicking. She decided to call her her daddy. The only person she could think of spilling out her frustration to was her father.

"Hello, baby, how is your new environment treating you?" her father grilled

" Trying to.... to adjust to it" Elara speaking with her voice trembling on the phone. Her father could notice the shiver in her voice.

" Babe, are you alright?, tell me what's wrong?. Sure you know you can tell me anything" her father tries to comfort her to opening up to him, Elara bust into tears.

" I... I am fine, " Elara sniffing.

" Are you crying? " her father asks. Elare quickly comported herself before speaking again. Cleaning her face with the sleeve of her dress.

"No daddy, I just want to speak to you about something bothering me" Elara says clearing her throat.

" Okay..."

" Why haven't I shifted yet, it is quite a torture around here without my wolf" Elara says. Her Father chuckles slightly before speaking.

" Do not get yourself worked up on that. At the right time you gonna make a shift, I also took some before making a shift. So do not be pressured, love! Is that all " Elara wanted to tell father all what she has being going through badly, but the fear of what the director said aches her heart. She would not be the one to put her family in delima. 

"Yep!, that is all" Elara says.

" do not worry, my big bad wolf. Just focus on your training, okay..." that got her smiling. All she wants to be normal student like everyone else without complications.

" Okay..." From the background she could hear her mother calling her father.

" I have to go now, your mother seeks my attention. I will call you tomorrow" blowed a kiss down to her from the phone.

" Send my regard to mother. Love you!" 

" okay!, I will, Love you too, take good care of yourself" her daddy says dropping the call. Elara was back to reality, closing her eyes breathing in and out, speaking to her father gave her a little ease. Before picking up her clothes for the washing machine and went back to her room to lay down.

Kate was just glaring down at her as she lay on the bed all night. She was still quite worried about her. The scenario that had happened to her was all over the school and all over the school platforms. Kate did not know what brought about the murder situation, but she understood how the school system could be for the lobsters. Kate went closer to her and adjusted her duvet to cover her body as Elara was coiled up on the bed, fast asleep.

In the morning, Elara woke up and found a note placed on her side table and a well synchronized breakfast, toasted bread, scrambled eggs and a cup of hot chocolate. Elara opened the note and read it aloud.

" Hi, there, hope you rested well? Do not let those raft get to you.Your journey is unique, and so is your strength. Even the stars need darkness to shine. Eat! Prepare for class, go for your classes with your shoulder high up without minding what anyone is saying.

Yours kate." 

Elara did not know how she kept on smiling by the swaving words writing by kate to brighten her up, which actually did brightened her soul. 

 Elara ate her breakfast, that Kate has prepared for her and went to take her bath and went to class. Getting to her classroom, students were clinging to the class wall mumbling as she steps in. Elara shoved her shoulder and went to sit before a teacher walkes in.

" Who is Elara Declan?" Elara was in shook, raising up her hand. At the same time thinking what warranted this call this gracious morning after a displeasant hiked day yesterday.

" What have I done again?" Elara mutters softly to herself. All the other students glued there eyes on, as they waited for another cliché.

" Here goes the murder, new episode" one student whispers while the others giggles. Elara placed her both hands on jawline relaxing them on her table, blinking eyes back at them waiting patiently for the new episode they mentioned.

" Your attention is needed at the front desk" the teacher continued and walked away from the classroom after passing the information.

" Front desk!" Elara exclaimed has she stood up from her sit and went straight for the front desk fiercely.

 Getting to the front desk, Elara approaches the receptionist desk slowly. With her heart panting fast. Imagining what chaotic episode was about to set foot in her day.

"You sent for me. I am... Elara Declan"

" Oh yes, miss Elara, take this slot card to that room over there" the receptionist says, pointing to the door opposite the receptionist desk.

" Look for the locker with this serial number on it and open, their is a parcel for you there " the receptionist continues. Giving Elara the slot card. 

" Parcel!" Elara repeated, itching hair. Has the receptionist nods in response.

" And when you are done, report back here" the receptionist added.

Elara hands were foldedly glued to her uniform, sweating profusely as she approaches the door. Praying a silently to the moon goddess to save her from this calamity she is about to enter into.
