KALMIA’S POV

I wait outside the cell, anxiously glancing at Mr. Isah with a pleading face while panting in anticipation, tinged with a bit of nervousness. "I'm looking forward to seeing my lost sister, Visha," I say, voice almost inaudible, spilling from my mouth like a confession. Mr. Isah inclined his head in deep understanding; his very look was sympathetic, and turned to lead me through the station, his long strides chewing up the distance into nothingness.

Strong cold fluorescent light above the hub flickered and hummed, casting a glaring light on those forms. A heavy, cloying scent of disinfectant hovered in the stagnant air, mixed with a cursed faint tang of despair. My footsteps echoed down the walls as I walked with Mr. Isah into the depths of the station. When we arrived at the cell, Mr. Isah grasped the handle and pushed it open in a slow creak before stepping inside, leaving a dim light casting long shadows across the little room.

"Visha", I called, my voice so sweet, l

    KALMIA’S POV Her words seemed to slice through the air like a knife, and her voice dripped with venom voicing all her discontent. "I never liked you, Kalmia," she said, looking at me with flashing eyes of fury and disdain. There was this sensation of hurt, surprise mixed with confusion as I furrowed my brows to understand the depth of her emotions. "What do you mean?" I queried in a whipser, scanning her countenance for signs of weakness. The bitterness on that face twisted into a smile that shone malignant hues in her eyes. "So you said I hurt you, and I'm apologizing now, this?" My voice had incredulity and frustration laced into it. How could she even think that I would accept that as compensation for all the damage she had done? Memories of past confrontations and betrayals rushed into my consciousness, replete with a sudden surge of fury and spite against her. Visha was a semblance of what one could have guessed-trapped deeply in her emotions, longing and thirsting for an uni

    KALMIA’S POV "Aha, indeed, I will say it because I was the one who put your so-called planned career into action after it brought you down," she spat, maliciously. Visha's eyes flashed with defiance and she sneered at me. The fury surged, and my hands clenched into tight fists. But Visha wasn't done yet. "I framed everything up," she continued in a rising level of triumph tracing her voice. "I turned Jemima against you and shouted toward me, throwing her eyes like the evil beacon on top. It was like getting hit in the gut; breath taken out. "No, oooo," I screamed, throat raw and voice trembling with emotion. "Nothing could separate the things about it. Then out into the air came the loudest cry I made. Tears were rolling down in continuance because each stroke of the event hit down hard at that instant. I couldn't bear the sharpness of pain and betrayal. I couldn't take the sound of another angry word flown in my direction again, as Visha had cut me too deep. I felt as if I was losi

    KALMIA’S POV Another big breath was drawn, as if in an attempt to calm this furious storm of emotions stirring in me. The pain of betrayal was still fresh in my mind; yet I needed to think beyond it and outside for those few hesitant souls and a few things that meant anything to me. My gaze rested on the little baby and an overwhelming love and gratitude-for-the-pain-filled-the-heart.-Having-everything, she was the only reason for me, and I had to keep her safe by all means. My mind began questioning the motive of my sister-The thought of what could have driven her into such desperation kept gnawing at me: did she have her own battles to fight and her own miseries, or was it just jealousy and spite? I would never know now, and maybe it does not matter anymore, for what matters is that I have been wronged and I need to find some way to make it right. I knew it was going to be a hard thing to do; it would require all the courage I had within me to rise above it, but I knew I wanted t

    KALMIA’S POV Cold air spouted out of the rooming house. As Arrow and I stepped out of the building, I looked up upon him with a smile. "I'm glad we're in this together," I said in a mask of whispered tones. Arrow smiled back, his eyes crinkling into the corners of his face. "Me too," he replied. "We'll get through this, Kalmia. Together.” Later in the day, or rather a few hours after that, we were escorted to a safe house on the outskirts, a small building without any distinguishable traits that would catch a passer-by's attention. The official introduced the security detail assigned to us, a crack team of agents working to protect us twenty-four-seven. As we made our way and began settling inside the safe house, the unease kept hovering upstairs. There was, indeed, an inscrutable potentiality of freedom in confining oneself to a little room with complete strangers. But I had to accept it for now. Arrow seemed to have sensed my unease and wrapped his arm about me, pulling me clos

    KALMIA’S POV A figure came towards me and I remained frozen in surprise. The individual moved toward me and in a quiet mysterious voice said "I have something to say Visha." I saw them and adjusted my gaze while narrowing my eyes to figure out their identity. I replied carefully saying "Alright then proceed." "Are you really Visha?" I asked, my tone laced with skepticism. They chuckled softly while their eyes glowed with amusement. With confidence etched in their voice they said "I'm not." The phrase 'I'm here to help you' contained profound meaning despite its simple structure. They spun around and departed leaving me frozen in complete silence. I felt a wave of curiosity and wonder crash over me as they disappeared into the distance. I questioned what help this mysterious person wanted to offer me. My mind spun with questions about the stranger yet they vanished after I could think nothing through leaving behind just an arrow. I stood completely still as my eyes fixated on the a

And what lay ahead? Entering the bathroom I felt both excitement and nervousness about my upcoming meeting with the modeling agency. Getting ready made me think about all the potential opportunities this chance might open up. My hair took on a sleek, stylish form while I applied a thin layer of makeup to bring out my natural beauty. I put on a fitted white dress that showed off my curves and then wore heeled ankle boots before taking my bag. In the mirror I gave myself one final check and felt assured in my poise.

    MR ISAH’S POV I sat at the station in the dark. The soft fluorescent light above cast an eerie glow on the empty chairs and faded floor. Anticipation held my heart in its place, echoing like the drumbeat in my chest throughout my entire being. "Just wai for me, sir," I mumbled to myself with eyes turned toward the phone, where a text from Kalmia said: "I'm on my way", flashing on the screen like a light at the end of a tunnel. "Okay then," I said to myself, slumping back in the chair, a wave of relief washing through my being with the straightening of my spine on the worn-out issue. Time moved forward, and in this losing dusky space, each second was a drag for eternity. I checked my watch what would seem like a million times but felt like the hundredth. My eyes scanned the entire empty station that was growing more impatient with each passing second. The silence clamped down hard, occasionally punctuated with the creaks in the old building and traffic buzzing outside. I shifted in

    MR ISAH’S POV Between walls of thickest warm air, bound by oppressive scents of sweat mingled with fear, I could hardly draw breath, and every breath that I drew seemed to carry some foreign weight crushing into my chest. Visha sat all hunched over in the wooden bench; shoulders barely perceptibly shook; her eyes looked down, refusing to meet mine, locked in mute insubordination to the unasked questions between us. A stubborn silence, thick and impenetrable, stretched between us and with every passing moment added that still very coiled tension within me. "Visha, I'm not answering any of your questions," she finally whispered, so softly it was hard to hear, like a thin thread in an oppressive hush. Although soft, the words smote me with the force of a corporeal blow, burning up the sparks of fury that had been at hand ever so low. "Then okay," I replied in said low, almost dangerous tone, "you are going to do that pen now." It was just a matter-of-fact statement, in the air of an
