During the few days Selene had been in Redboiler Prison, she had been closely watched by the prison guards. They had secretly marked her as one of the prisoners who should not be disturbed.
The reason is, some of them witnessed how she beat a prisoner from block F until his face was battered and two of his teeth were knocked out. Moreover, there were rumors that Selene was trying to seduce Caelum, the prison's Chief Warden.
Though it wasn't a rumor, it was actually something she did to get close to him. Her motives this time were unknown, but some of those who believed believed that Selene was up to something.
It had now been two weeks since her arrival at the prison, and she was already getting used to the activities. Some prisoners also chose not to communicate with her. But others still tried to get close.
Either they were in awe of her or they were challenging her. Since they didn't believe the stories circulating in the prison.
"Someone like her can kill 29 people? That must be her imagination! I'm sure the prison guards are just covering up her real crime by making up untrue stories like that," said one of the prisoners who felt that it was impossible for a woman who looked weak like her.
"You underestimate her too much, she does look weak. But it's possible that she killed a lot of people like that in a short period of time," said another female prisoner.
Some of the other female prisoners continued to gossip about Selene, especially when they heard about Selene flirting with Caelum. For the female prisoners, they would have liked the Chief Warden, but he was so cold to them.
"There's no need to worry. There's no way Chief Rothwell would court a woman like her anyway. How many love letters do you think some of us have sent him? But none of them have been responded to, because I'm sure they've been used as fuel for the furnace in his office."
They all nodded in agreement, continuing to talk about it while doing the prison chores of washing clothes.
Not long after, Selene came in with a basket of sheets that had just been washed. All the white sheets just needed to be dried in the sun by the other female prisoners who had been assigned the task.
However, none of the other female prisoners wanted to take the bed sheets brought by Selene.
Even until the sky almost turned to evening, no one touched the laundry basket that she had just finished washing.
The other female prisoners were busy sitting in the corner of the field chatting and laughing with no regard for her presence.
A prison warden finally came to inspect their work and noticed that there was one large basket left undried.
"Work time is about to end, but why is there still one basket left unfinished?" he asked them sternly.
"That's her job! She doesn't want to do it and has been sitting by herself watching," replied one of the female prisoners, pointing at Selene. Even when she was the one doing the laundry.
"That's right, she's been sitting and not helping at all. We've gone to a lot of trouble to wash the bed sheets in the basket. But she doesn't want to dry them," said another in support of blaming Selene so that she could be punished by the warders.
The warden then turned to her, asking if it was true or not.
"Do you really not want to help and just sit here quietly?" he asked again.
Selene remained silent, staring at the warden. Her eyes turned to the female prisoners who were laughing quietly with each other because they were sure that Selene would get into trouble.
She always seemed calm and even-tempered at times. They wished they could see Selene's reaction, which would probably be panic and fear because she didn't want to be punished.
"Let's show that ugly panic face of yours. Don't pretend to be cool in front of us, you bitch," muttered one of the women who seemed to be the leader of the group of female prisoners.
However, Selene looked back at the warden
and nodded her head.
"That's right, I refused to help because I'm a very kind and considerate woman to them," she replied with a smile.
"A kind and considerate woman?" the warden asked, puzzled by her answer.
Not only her, but the other women were also puzzled by the answer. What did her not doing her job have to do with being a kind and considerate woman?
"You just look at them, their bodies are fat like lazy pigs. I'm so kind and considerate to them. So I make them work hard so that their bodies don't become lazy and get fatter," Selene explained.
Her answer was laughed at by the other prison guards standing not far from them. Although some of them tried to stifle their laughter. But it was difficult for them to do so after hearing Selene call another woman a 'lazy pig'.
They became very embarrassed and also upset, especially their leader who was so fat that she became very angry at Selene.
"How dare you call me that, you bitch!" she snapped as she stood up from her seat and pointed at Selene.
"I didn't say it was you. Oh could it be that you feel that that nickname suits you perfectly? Lazy pig."
She replied in a provoking tone, like she was looking for a fight under the watchful eyes of the prison guards.
"Damn it, I'm going to beat you up after this!"
"With what? You don't have hands to beat someone up, aren't those your legs?"
"Stella, calm down. She's just trying to provoke you into beating her up first and then the warden will punish you!" said one of her friends, trying to calm her down.
Seeing the commotion, the warden finally stopped them and told Selene to finish her work immediately before it was time for them to go shower and eat dinner.
Without much protest, Selene had to work twice, drying clothes in the corner of the yard. She did it all by herself.
"That bitch is really annoying. We can't stand by and must do something to give her a stern warning!"
They all nodded in agreement and then they intended to catch Selene using a bed sheet from behind her, then restrain her so that she would have trouble breathing. At least until she felt bad and never tried to say bad things about them again. They want to make her beg for her life.
Stella then told one of her subordinates, Rona, to do it because her body was smaller and would definitely feel lighter. Her steps would not be heard by Selene.
Finally, Rona took one of the sheets that had been drying since this afternoon and sneaked up behind Selene to cover her face.
Selene, who was busy drying, did not realize it. Suddenly, her face was covered from behind with a sheet that had been folded to make it thick and difficult for her to breathe.
GASP!
