I jumped awake when something cold hit me. I coughed. The cold water hit my nose. It felt like I'd just inhaled the hottest chili powder. It stung like hell. The arrogant woman threw the empty bucket against the wall, disrupting my peaceful morning. She towered over me, her arms crossed.
"Get up, you lazy girl."
"What do you want, Alana? I'm tired of all your sneaky games. Leave me alone if you don't intend to kill me."
"Now that I think about it, you'd be more useful if you were left alive."
I hated her smirk. Death was far better for me than living at the mercy of those crazy Calonzos.
"You haven't eaten since you got here, have you?"
"Don't bother worrying about me. I'm not hungry."
"But I'll feed you, since you'll be a waitress at my party tonight. Bring the food here, Jane."
