Chapter 2: CHAPTER: 2 ( Meat is better than Vegetable)
Augustya awakens, unsure if it is the same day or a brand new day. He couldn't tell without nightfall. The sun hadn't set here for the last six months.
Augustya's back was aching and bruised due to the massacre he was part of.
Yesterday, on polar night, a guard mercilessly hit Augustya with a whip, which tore through his skin. The throbbing pain and the feeling of blood rushing to his back made him shout in pain, yet he endured silently.
He glanced at himself in the mirror and barely recognised himself.
He wore the dirty green prisoner suit and put the number 14 name tag on his shoulder.
Every prisoner who stayed, authority gave a number plate to the prisoners.
No. 14 was Augustya's identity.
The cell door automatically opened as it was time to have breakfast and later work as a labourer.
He left his cell and strolled out of the cafeteria.
" I hope they serve any vegetarian dish. I am tired of seeing meat dishes." Agustya was praying for that.
As he entered the cafeteria, the unpleasant smell of dry sausages and the classic sun dried meat was there, along with a slice of brochen( a space bread).
The young boy didn't feel nauseous anymore yet he felt disgusted to enter this place.
He took two slices of brochen and sausage. Sausages were saved for Zekrom. As usual, he sat in the corner of the cafeteria.
"So dry and awful." Augustya complained, yet he swallowed another piece of bread with water.
Zekrom approached and sat beside the Augustya's table, looking pale and blue.
He anticipated reward, but instead received whips that lacerated his skin and left a mark that would last forever.
"Fuck the owner!" Zekrom cursed under his breath. He stole the meat sausages from Augustya's plate and chewed violently.
" Did you get enough sleep?" Augustya asked in a low voice.
He glared at him and took off his black shades.
"See the scar on my face. Do you think I will get any sleep?"
Zekrom pointed to the bruises drawn on his white skin. He quickly put on the shade back afraid anyone might see that.
" If I have ever met him outside. I swear to my late mother, I will whoop him like that." Zekrom swore and chewed the food.
"See, that's why I warned you not to create any trouble. " Augustya sighed.
"If you were a little conscious, perhaps this would not happen with us." Augustya suggested despite being part of his delinquents.
"If they give me 100 gold coins for being quiet. I will consider it, " Zekrom grinned.
Who knew that the landlord would not keep his word?
"I am done,"exclaimed Augustya.
For three straight months, Augustya only relied on carbohydrates and salad. As he detested the meat.
"You barely ate. You look sick compared to my appealing appearance." Zekrom said in a concerned voice as he brushed his red hair.
Augustya ignored him and left the cafeteria. He went to the place where massacres had occurred.
The faint smell of blood was still noticeable, and the Swarmies had already been replaced by Kuh, a space cow with three eyes. Very glutton species and filled with motherly affection.
The scorching heat, low humidity made his lips and skin dry. No clouds were in the sky.
"You are quite early today," a stranger said. Augustya turned back and saw the muscular and 6 feet tall guy who was the warden of the Natch E.
"Hello, Ser Gan. " Augustya greeted him.
"Thank you for shooting the Swarm." Augustya showed his gratitude and kept a grin on his face. Gan was the one who had rescued from Swarm.
Gan scorned and said, "I was aiming at you, not Swamies. I just missed by a few centimetres." After he said that, Gan moved forward without looking back.
Those who were foolish would believe that. Further, Augustya didn't say anything.
Mining was a 1 kilometre radius of the building. He went straight and then jumped into a big hole where mining was.
The mine had dim light, a toxic smell of cobalt and plutoron which had the possibility of damaging the lungs.
His job was to collect the material and put it into the bucket.
Later, a separator would separate the cobalt and dirt.
Some wondered why they didn't use machines because the mining caves were very small and not compatible with heavy machines. It took half the profit compared to the cheap labour they were getting.
He took the shovel and filled the bucket with dirt then repeated the process again.
'So should I kill Zekrom. He is too bothersome. No,no! Who would give me his
food?' Augustya's thoughts were running wild.
'I wish Maraya will send me power gloves and shoes.' he glanced at the tattered and old shoes.
'Then I would tell the rest how powerful I have become. Even kill the beast with my own hands.' Grinned appeared on his face.
"No.14! Use your hands not your lips," guard mocked as he inspected his bucket.
"Where is the hell no.12?" The guard asked as two of them always stuck to each other.
Augustya replied,"I don't know. Maybe he had been sleeping somewhere."
On the other hand, Zekrom was busy negotiating.
The lab, where the camera and infrared sensor could detect any living being.
Somehow, Zekrom managed to sneak in here.
"Raise the price. It's too low a price to sell this." Zekrom frowned.
"Listen, Zek, I am giving you a hefty amount. No one would do business except me." Millie argued with him.
Milli was the landowner's niece and stayed at Nacht E with her uncle. She was 19-years old, too smart for herself yet her alluring charm could fool many.
"To get this, I fought with swarmies then whipped by your uncle's dogs."
Zekrom put the Swarmies' eyeballs and claws on the table. Those were precious
in the black market, their value was high.
"5000 sols and I will consider transferring you to Nacht D." Milli proposed. There are 3 quarters in Nacht C, D, and E. Natch C, where all girls stay.
Natch D where A and S class criminals live and do live streaming fights. E, where low class criminals stayed and did malicious work and its place of endangered species.
Natch E made it to show the galaxy and EEO(Extremist Endangered Organisation ) how they treat the inmates.
Nacht D had many bulky dominant males who were horny and ferocious beasts.
"You want me to die there," Zekrom said in fear.
"Plus, I will remove the locator from your body." Millie Meteor made an offer that nobody could refuse.
"Too cheap. I would rather sell to Pancho than you." He declined the offers.
Milli's cheeks reddened, and she stared at him fiercely. If the item wasn't valuable, she would already refuse to meet him.
She clenched her fist and took a deep breath. Her glossy lips became lustrous and colourful.
"This is my last offer. Not negotiable.
6500 sols and will remove the locator.
I will give you sun cream and transfer you to Natch D."
Sun creams and moisturizers were necessary for any living being who stayed in the Nacht.
Zekrom's lips curled, and he was very pleased with the negotiation.
"Deal ," Zekrom pleased with the negotiation. His white hands shook with her.
Zekrom slid his claws and eyeballs towards her. Milli's purple eyes sparkled as she held them.
"Pretty." Millie face brightened as she admired the beauty of the eyeballs.
Zekrom quietly escaped after getting the payment.
The midnight sun had already appeared in the sky. The prisoners had already gone to their rooms.
Augustya was lying down on the bed and didn't have an ounce of energy to move his eyelids.
A loud and crackling voice broke his slumber.
"Lord! Did you lie on behalf of me?" Zekrom asked, energetically. Everyone already knew the gossip that Augustya was from a military family. That's why everyone gave foolish names like , lord, princess of the east etc.
Augustya glanced at the boy, who was filled with joy and showing bright white teeth.
"Go away." Augustya barked, as he had been irritated by him.
"Because of you, I have to do your work. Where have you been?" Augustya questioned.
"Sorry, brother. I was occupied by something." He spoke in a soft voice as he dripped honey from his mouth.
*Cough* Augustya coughed.
"Water!"
"Let me grab it for you." He fetched the water and passed it to him.
Augustya's vision was blurry. His head had been throbbing with pain, and his stomach rumbling for a while.
"Food." He whispered.
"I am starving." He could hardly concentrate on anything. The smell of food was captivating him.
Suddenly, he jumped off the bed and tried to break the jail bar.
