"My ear! my ear! my ear!" I cry terribly as Jennifer, grab me by the ear, while she drag me into the pack kitchen. She push me forward, landing myself on the ground.
"You will cook for the whole pack alone" she spit out the words, while her eyebrows are squeeze.
I glare at her and reply, "I can't cook for the whole pack, it too large for me".
"Shut up your that dirty hole, I said you should cook for the whole pack and be fast with it," she hiss as she walk away with anger. I push my hand against the floor, then lift up myself. I'm short of words, sweeping my eyes from left to right, the ingredients for the pack meal is very much. The vegetables are loaded in a big sack, the meat is not yet cut into pieces. I take a second to imagine how I will deal with the huge meat. The most funny part, is the large pot which is met for the food to be cook inside, Jennifer is crazy. Because normally it takes twenty cooks, to cook the pack food. Then all of a sudden, she is expecting me to cook it all by myself. I start to take a step by step, touching the ingredients, thinking of which one to start with.
"Grace!" my beta call me abruptly and run to me, then she hog me tightly.
"How are you?" I ask her, staring at her eyes.
"I'm fine" she replied, also nodding her head.
"Did she ask you to cook the pack meal?" my beta ask me, looking at the ingredients with surprise.
"Yes, Jennifer said I should prepare the pack meal, all by myself".
"What! she is out of her mind, why? will she ask you to cook for the whole pack, that too much for you to handle, my beta reason, shaking her head in pity".
"I have no choice than to do it" i tell her with a sad face.
"I'm sorry, I'm here and I will help you" my beta volunteer herself.
"You don't have to do that, I'm sure you have other things to do" I try to stop her.
"No, you can't say that, I don't have any thing else to do, let's cook the food together and that will be better" she brings out her points, as I think about it.
"Okay, I think that is better, let do it together, meanwhile I was panicking before you come to my aid, thank you so much". I smile at her.
She return the smile, "you are welcome".
My beta clutch the knife, she begin cutting the meat into pieces. Meanwhile I'm washing the vegetables with water. Five minutes later. My beta and I carry the big pot on the cooker, we hustle hardly to pour water inside it.
"Okay, let wash the meat" I suggest and we release a flood of water on the meat, then we begin washing the meat. As soon as we are done washing the meat. We pick the meat into the pot for cooking. My beta turn on another cooker, we place another big pot, as we pour plenty cooking oil inside. I feel a weird signal sent into my body, before I hear few steps, coming into the kitchen.
"Who is coming?" I asked my beta.
"I don't know, maybe it one of the cook, let continue before the oil get burnt," the moment she finish those words, Jennifer walk into the kitchen.
"What!" Jennifer yell vigorously, "you dare help her with the cooking".
"No, I force her to do it, she never wants to do it, don't punish her," I fight to save my beta from the wrath of Jennifer.
"I told you to cook the pack meal alone, but you defy my orders, she most face my punishment" she call out for her officers to hurry to the pack kitchen. I'm begging Jennifer to spare my beta as the officers come into the kitchen.
"I want you to take this one and flog her till pulp" she point on my beta as she utter the command.
"No, no, no, you can't take her away, instead take me in her place, I want to receive the punishment for her," the officers kick me off their way and pick her up, while I follow them behind.
"Hey assign cooks to complete the pack meal," Jennifer ask the officers.
She wind back ward staring at me following them, "you are going to watch her and next time you won't dare defy my orders".
The very moment they arrive at the army barracks, my beta get throw down on the ground. One of the officers, bring out a long wipe. I struggle to go stop him, but the two officers hold me back. The officer hit the wipe on my beta without mercy, she scream out loud, then she was hit again as she continue wailing for help. After one hour of my beta been flogged mercesily, she was carry up and at my very one eyes they take her into the prison.
I fell on my knees"Please don't do this to her."
"Officers take grace out of here, and make sure she wash the dirty dishes of the pack" she ordered.
"yes ma!" they lift me up from the ground and bring me into the pack kitchen.
"Start washing the dirty dishes right now" the senior officer command me at the top of his voice. I nod my head slowly, still thinking of my beta. As I pick one plate, my thoughts will flash back to her, and everytime my heart break into pieces. I blame myself for not stopping her no matter what. I'm very sure she won't have got beeaten to pulp and thrown into prison.
"I said wash the dishes fast, I don't want to face the Luna wrath" the senior officer said, shaking his leg tirelessly.
"Why, do I did that to the poor innocent girl? why do I drag her into my problems" I growl with anger and frustration. I throw the plate at the wall, it shatter abruptly.
"Well done, I hope you are going to pay for that plate and you will surely pay for it, no matter what you do, your beta is going to live the rest of her life in jail" Jennifer uttered sharply.
