CHAPTER 3 (JOANNE'S POV)

PREVIOUSLY ON KOOK

It looks like Mercy have handed me over to the Queen...

Because I saw Mercy strolled past Maureen...

I don't need any soothsayer to tell me
they've dug my grave...

We walked into the dining hall safely...

I guess they aren't coming for me yet which is quite surprising...

From the tale that has been told, they don't waste them...

Once they have a target in mind, they eliminate them without wasting much time...

It's like they're aware I'm always conscious of my environs so they probably think it's best to catch me off guard...

My friends and I sat in our usual small corner almost at the rear end of the hall...

"Why are you staring awkwardly at her.?" Every asked and I raised my head curious as to who she was talking to...

"I can't help but feel pity for her..." Astra answered then I understood that they were talking about Efe...

"Oh, you've joined the pitiful club...?" Judith asked her voice void of any emotions as always...

"Why is she suddenly the center of attention today..?"Judith asked staring irritatedly at Efe...

"Judi..." Astra mumble

"She's just a newly transferred inmate from God knows where the heck she was dumped at... I just don't care..." Judith said bitterly...

And I know she does but she just wanna keep playing the tough badass bitch...

But she's the most sensitive person I know...

Yet she acts strong...

"Judith don't be like this..." Every said to Judith before looking over at Efe...

"Take a good look at her.." Every urge Judith...

And we all looked at Efe's fragile nature

"Mad man..." Efe hums while eating her food...

Who did this to this poor innocent girl?..

I want to kill every bastard responsible for her condition...

Wait did I just think of killing someone...

I raised my head as Every sighed softly...

"She needs us..." muttered Every as she diverted her gaze to Judith...

Both of them lock eyes together...

"I know you're not the sentimental type of person but you've got a big heart..." Every muttered before focusing back on her food...

I dropped my spoon after finishing my food...

I'm not much of a foodie, so I always share my food with Every or Astra...

"We all have our story, lucky ones remember them and can share them with others, like you guys..." I said looking from Astra to Judith then to Every...

"Some lucky ones like her..." I said referring to Efe...

"Remembers Everything but can't share them while unlucky ones like myself..." I hit my chest...

"Have no memory and nothing to share..." I smiled at Efe as she smiled after drinking water...
