AUTHOR'S POV
Everyone was looking at Louis, trying to guess why he was so surprised and relieved at the same time.Mr Holmes clenched his fists, thinking about the possibility, that Sia has made it through, this time too. This gesture didn't go unnoticed by Sia's hawk like eyes. She smirked internally."Alright! I will discuss this with our CEO and then give you a final answer!" Louis's final words made Sia's attention shift back to him.Louis hanged up the call and sighed, pulling back his hairs.Harry who had been silent for a while, sulking got curios at Louis's oddly relieved expressions and questioned him, "Who was it, Louis?!" Harry brought his hands together and rubbed them, which was his nervous habit. Only Sia's friends knew about this nervous habit. It was weird to see Harry nervous, as he was the embodiment of confidence out of them all.AUTHOR'S POVAfter taking a breath to calm herself down, Sia wiped away the reminant of tears from her face. She didn't want anyone to know that she was crying.She sighed heavily and turned around before her gaze landed on the piano. She gave it a last hateful glance and started walking out of the room.When Sia stepped inside the living room, she heard Harry hissing in a low voice, " Don't do something foolish, Lara! Control yourself!" Sia stopped in her track and curiously observed the surroundings. Louis was still rubbing his temples. Harry's eyes screamed anger and frustration, while Lara smiled crazily at him. Sia frowned at the unusual atmosphere in the room. Jack was also nowhere to be seen instead, Mrs De'souza was standing at the corner. She wondered what happened. They hadn't noticed her coming yet, so she decided to make her presence known
AUTHOR'S POVA heavy silence fell over everyone. They all were curious about what Lara was talking about. When Sia kept staying froze on her spot Lara provoked her, "It was so pathethic to watch you crying and begging for someone else, when you used to say you would never kneel down in front of anyone, ever!" She sneered placing her hand on her mouth and started laughing again. Sia's hands started shaking, while everyone else was confused at Lara's talk. Mrs De'souza stepped towards Lara with a frown and inquired, "What are you talking about, Lara?!" Mrs. De'souza was agitated and confused at the same time. She felt her heartbeat getting faster, anticipating the worst case scenario.Lara didn't reply back to Mrs De'souza and chuckled at her discomfort.Sia has had enough of Lara's nonsense. She was afrai
AUTHOR'S POVEveryone was shocked when the fact was confirmed by Sia herself. Louis felt the world closing in on him. Everyone's eyes were filled with hate now, while they glared at Lara."WHY LARA? WHY DID YOU DO IT?!" Mrs De'souza screamed at Lara, asking her about the reason for betraying them all like this. She had started crying unconsciously. Her one daughter had ruined the life of another daughter and contributed in the downfall of other two important people in her life.Lara raised her head slowly. She was tired of always being the villian of the story. She couldn't bear the hate in Mrs De'souza's eyes. She didn't have the right to hate her. She caller her daughter, but never tried to know what was in her heart. She had always preffered Sia over her and now she was asking why did she do it.Lara felt her blood boil, so
AUTHOR'S POVSia's hand that were clutching the armrests, loosensed up. The time had come. She looked back at Jack who was emotionless just as her, " Bring it Jack! It's time now!" Sia simply ordered Jack and looked at all the rest of them, who were looking at her with pity in their eyes. They all looked lifeless. They all looked like people who had lost their will to live. Sia averted her eyes away, focusing on the Eiffel Tower painting that was hanged on the wall. Emily's face showed up in it and whispered, "Everything will be alright, Sia!" Sia felt a breeze passing by her and she shook her head. She was drowing in illusion again. But she couldn't help but want to get lost in the maze of her mind, to find peace for sometime.She wanted to save them all from this grief, the feeling of being betrayed by someone they loved dearly. She wanted to save herself from the pitiful look in the
AUTHOR'S POVSia crossed the corridors and reached her room in a hurry. She opened the door and stepped inside, before closing it behind her. She didn't forget to lock it, as she didn't to see anyone right now. She supported her back on the closed door behind her and sighed, rubbing her temples. Her legs gave up and she ended up sliding to the floor with a thud. She didn't have any energy and it was getting hard to breathe for her.Why was life so hard? She often found herself asking this question, but no one was ever there to give her any answer.She grabbed her head in her hands and took deep breathes.The fading lights of the day peeked through the glass wall. Sun was going down, bidding it's farewell to the world, giving way for the darkness to conqeur once again. Darkness that was scary and hypnotic at the same time. Scary because of
AUTHOR'S POV~FLASHBACKAfter crying for almost an hour, she forced herself to get up. She hissed in pain and looked down at her knee which was bleeding. Her whole body was aching in pain, but she couldn't stay here anymore as it was getting colder just as the night was approaching and her old tattered dress was not helping in warming her up much. She grabbed the pieces of her coloring book and started limping towards her room, which was fortunately not shared by those bullies but by those who were weak just like her. She reached her room limping somehow and sighed in relief seeing it empty. They all must be out to play! She thought. She limped towards her bunker bed and slumped down on it gasping at the pain that shot through her elbow when it came in contact with bed. She rotated her arm a little and to no one'
AUTHOR'S POV~FLASHBACKSnow was falling heavily covering everything with the fury white. 3 months has passed since she had found Ms Amelia as her Mother fairy. She has cared for her all this time and has never let anyone hurt her ever again, just as she promised. They both have grown closer than ever. Sia doesn't seem to get away from her, for even a while. The winter has come again with its bone chilling coldness and snow that fell heavily freezing everything and everyone. It was Sia's favourite season, because she loved snowfall. She was sitting at one of the towers in the orphanage. Her orphanage was an old mansion with a castle like structure. It was ruined and worn out, but elegantly built nonethless. It had four main towers on each side of the main building, giving it the main castle like look. Sia was sitting in the back tower. It was her hidden spot. No one ever came here, except for her and ofcourse her secret keeper, Ms Amelia. Sia was sitting at the top which had a wind
AUTHOR'S POV~FLASHBACKMs Amelia opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, like a fish out of water not being able to breath. She didn't know what to say at Sia's statement, as her mind went into a frenzy.Finally after finding herself breaking out of the trance, she inquired, " Why are you saying this, Sia?! Did someone said something to you?!" Ms Amelia's eyebrows were furrowed and her lips were set in thin line.The last days of the death of her daughter flashed in front of her eyes. The time she saw her daughter getting weaker each day and then finally die in the hospital, with every dream of her, left unfulfilled. She didn't want anything to happen to Sia. She was too precious for her. Her heart tore apart at the thought or something happening to Sia.Sia figdeted with her fingers, while nervousness took o
