The words I hadn’t said yet burned at the edge of my throat. “She knew it was happening. She begged it to let her go. She screamed at the walls. But the prison saw her the same way it saw all of you. As something monstrous. Something to contain.” The silence grew heavy again. Not brittle this time—but grieving. A silence that understood. “She tried to stop it,” I said, finally. “At the end. When she realized what it had become. But by then it was too late. Her punishment was never-ending. And maybe that’s what broke her.

Her hand flew to her mouth, stifling a scream that threatened to tear out of her. Tears blurred her vision instantly. “I didn’t mean to…” she whispered, rocking back slightly. “I didn’t mean to…” Her gaze drifted again to the blood. There was so much of it. Too much. Her chest tightened painfully. Prison. The thought hit her like a physical blow. Prison. Years. Her life— Over. Vanessa shook her head violently. “No.” The word came out sharper this time. More certain. “No.” She pushed herself to her feet, stumbling slightly before regaining her balance.

After asking about her from almost every one, someone finally told them that she headed towards the prison side and they did find her there at the entrance where she was crying hard. **** She got outside of the prison and broke down in tears. She didn't have a place to go because she knew Ore would be ready to tear her head off if she stepped into that room, she didn't even know how Elora is doing. Even her family whom she did all these for were nowhere to be found. "Everything is just crumbling down no matter how I tried to mold them together. They just keep breaking down" she muttered and wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand

Mary was smiling towards Alfred and blinking her left eye. "Stop it Mary, are you also going to prison? don't worry I will get yours when you also go to prison, the one I will get for you will be special! so are you happy now?" "You never cease to say rubbish! how dare you, so mean" Mary hit Alfred on his shoulder and asked him to let go now. The both of them head to the terminal to take a bus while a car was following them at back, Mary and Alfred did not suspect anything till they both got to their destination. They alight from the van and head straight towards the prison.

If it is joy he felt a few hours ago as he left that prison, then this must be pure happiness. Kenton ~“Mom I missed you so much. I thought I was never going to see you again. It killed me to know that while I was wasting away in that prison, you were wasting away in that hospital. I was so scared you were never going to get better.” Mary ~“My baby I thought we never going to see you get out that shit place. If it was not for your little brother then I don't think we both would have sat here today.” Kenton ~“Mom we all did what we had to do to get through what happened to dad.”

Her eyes widen and she starts to say something but then she catches the look on my face and the words seem to die on the tip of her tongue. I take a step toward her. My eyes never leave her face. I say, “You were at the prison.” She squares her shoulders. “What?” “Don’t bother denying it,” I say through my teeth. “Don’t you dare. I know you were there. I know that you went to see her!” She audibly gulps. “Yes…I went to see her.” “Without telling me? Why?” She stares at the ground before looking back at me. “I thought you might not understand what I was doing there, so I preferred not to tell you. Our conversation didn’t go as planned anyway.”

She screamed until her throat burned, her voice echoing off the iron walls of the prison-like hall. “Let me go! Let me out of here! I don’t belong here!” She shrieked, her voice cracking with both fury and desperation. The guards said nothing. Their faces were stone, trained not to respond, not to flinch. Their boots struck the floor in steady rhythm, drowning out Sophia’s frantic pleas. She kicked out, twisting her body violently, forcing one of them to stumble.

Not that what he said was interesting, but the sound of his voice soothed her. Working together was going to be incredibly difficult. She hadn't accomplished anything by the time they reached the facility where the rest of her team was being held. Miles parked and led the way inside, using his badge to move them through the process at a faster pace. Before she knew it, they were escorted into a bland room with a table and chairs. Diha stared around the room. It hadn't really sunk into her that Harper and the others were in prison. They'd had to spend the night here.
