Chapter 5: Politics never fail

“Say, boy how far is your education” The feminine voice came to victor’s ears, and he looked over at her as he sat at his new chair for the seeable future

“Huh, I completed the standardized courses when I was ten and for the Advance course, I Completed them 2 years ago so right now I’m at the university level” He responded with a raised eyebrow and an accusing face.

“With all due respect ma’am did you think I was dumb or something,” He asked her pressing the question a bit. She looked at him and began to chuckle and row into a full-on laugh, She wiped nonexistent tears and raised her head to look back at the boy “Boy, your intelligence matters not to me I just want to know if you can read and write’ She responded.

“How do you laugh at someone you just met, you old hag I don’t even know your name” Victor snapped back but in a much quieter tone, but she heard him, and when she did the pen in her hand snapped and broke.

She looked over at him and stood up and came closer to him he noticed something was off about her, with a closer glance he saw she was sporting a third and a fourth leg and they started to morph into a skin layer exoskeleton of what could only be called a spider. She looked down at the poor boy with her intent visibly oozing off her body.

"You are neither worth the time or the effort to deal with, but I will make one thing clear (THIS IS MY TERRITORY AND I'M NOT SOME CHIPPED BASTARD ON THE YARD YOU CAN TALK TO HOW YOU FEEL LIKE!!) she said almost shouting at the top of her lungs. Victor flinched and was visibly shaken up and found himself stepping back up against the wall without noticing it at all.

"Hmh" She snorted and turn around, "At least, you’re not stupid it seems you do have some brains up there to reach that level at your age." she sat down and gathered up her papers.

"Listen to my rules little boy and you'll survive your time here” she shot him a side eye and then turn her head back to her papers

“1. I am your boss if you step out of line with me, I will have no problem with impaling you with one of my legs”, She let a grin slip out on purpose.

“2. The warden’s office and personnel files and transfers are off-limits to you do not touch them” she spoke with a serious tone.

“3 Now that you are working here if you are caught fighting an inmate and are found to be related to any incident of violence then you will be thrown into the hole no questions asked.

Victor looked at her and nodded his head without replying, “It’s best to say less to the Arachnid less I find myself on the end of her foot, By Her scale and looks it seems she’s a Class C+ I wonder what she did to push her power that high” He thought to himself but shook the notion off.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Ohh one more thing while you’re here, you will refer to me as Miss Ashnul I don’t want to hear old hag come out of your mouth again do you understand.” She asked and Vic responded with a “Yes Ma’am”.

…..

The hours went by, and guards came in and out as a rolling wave targeting the warden’s office, Victor chose to keep his body as small as possible to avoid problems his theory has always been the more they don’t notice or see you the better. From start to finish he had zero to no interaction with Warden he didn’t even see his face, but he knew he was there because he could feel a pair of eyes roaming his body every time he moved.

“My dear Ashnul, come here it’s about time you go home” A voice came slipping out of the warden’s office. Ashnul stood but when she did this time, she had two legs like when she opened the door in the morning. “Shit, she can control her Flaw,”

Victor thought to himself as he had only seen those that couldn’t, and that’s why they are CoFlaws. “Damn her class be might higher, lucky bitch I would have…” Victor was in deep thought when he was interrupted and didn’t notice that Ashnul had come back out and was heading out the door.

“Victor” The gruff voice sounded out this was the second time he had called out for the sitting inmate in the other room. Vic rose to his feet and headed to the door he stood there looking in at the warden. His build was round and very fat his cheek jiggled as he chewed the gum in his mouth.

“Yes, warden” Victor stood still and looked in at the fat man. A smirk slipped from the warden’s lips, but it seems he swept it off his face quickly, Victor noticed, and a cold sweat ran down his back.

“How was your first workday, my boy,” The warden asked, and Victor responded simply “Nothing too special”, The warden nodded as if the response was profound then he stood and waddle towards him then raise a hand placed it on the boy’s shoulder and slapped it lightly a few.

“Welcome to the team, don’t let me down boy, and learn as much as you can from Ashnul although she can be zealous at times, she has a good heart.” The warden gave what seems to be a rough outline of what advice should be and all Victor could do was nod his head.

The warden liked how the boy was so he waved him off with a short statement “My pretty boy head back and I will see you tomorrow” Victor nodded and spun on his heel but before he could move an inch forward a short breeze and the smell of a breath hit the back of his neck.

He stood still and chose not to move too quickly, right now he was standing in from of a hyena and if he moves too quickly, he will get bit but before anyone said a thing Victor felt his presence fade from behind him and heard him sit back down in his chair. Victor said nothing and didn’t even look back, but he knew the warden was staring at him, so he quickly got the hell out of the office and returned to his cell quickly.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN, BAGWELL IS RECRUITING MORE MEN” Magnus Sat on his bunk listening to a report from one of the Sun’s syndicates, “Young Master, It... It was late to our notice, but it seems Bagwell joined a support group one that helps his odd cravings and he’s using that to gather new members”

“Who in the world, gave the OK for that” Magnus questioned once again with a heavy stare at his subordinate, we heard it was Reznov sir” Magnus’s face drained of color and his nails dug into the sheets. “SHIT” He screamed and leaped to his feet.

“Alert all Suns tell them no one spills blood unless orders are given,” Magnus said to his subordinate while he himself headed to the other menace in their cage of Lions and tigers.
