"Thief! Thief! Someone catch that little brat! She is a thief!" A fair, tall and slender lady with ebony hair kept on screaming for help as she ran after a teenage girl who kept on running without looking back.
The girl was running so fast it was quite difficult for any one to see her face, one would only get a glimpse and that would be all. Caleb also got a glimpse of the girl as she ran past him like the wind, his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.He couldn't believe what he had just seen, was his eyes deceiving him or what?.Meanwhile, the girl had ran so far that she had managed to lose the lady in the crowd, the girl was breathing so heavily and she finally stopped to check if the money she had seen the lady put in her purse was still intact."Nice job, you have managed to catch a goldfish today" a lady startled the girl with her voice. She was so frightened that she dropped the purse along with the money. The lady smirked and bent down to pick up the money and tMara's POV"I thought you wouldn't come?" Keren came out from her car to meet me."And why would you think that!" I was beginning to be suspicious of her."Never mind, get inside the car. It would be better if we talk inside" Keren suggested and that only raised my suspicion the more."And what is wrong with us leaning in the car and talking like normal human beings?" I asked."Nothing except for the fact that the sun is scorching and I'm afraid it might set us both on fire. '' She folded her lips in a manner that showed sarcasm and I felt like I had no other choice than to do as she had instructed me."So what is this whole trafficking thing about?" I slammed the car door too roughly and I earned a stern look from her, it was more like a warning without words."Sorry, but still you have to answer my question" I apologized."There is no trafficking. I just wanted to play along with the rubbish you were saying but anyways the main business is that
Keren's POVMy heart wouldn't stop beating even for a second, I felt like it was going at 50 beats per second but I finally calmed down when I received a call."I have gotten the package, you will receive your payment when the boss confirms it's authenticity" a deep voice spoke to me over the phone."I'll be waiting" I hung up immediately and not too long after that I got another call."When will I get my payment? I have done the job?" Mara was being too fierce."You have to calm down. You have delivered the package but I haven't gotten any confirmation yet. When I do, trust me you will get your payment" I assured her.Mara's POVI hope this lady wasn't pulling a fast one on me because I don't understand anything she said over the phone."Mara" my mum called out to me and I turned around to look at her as I slowly put the phone down from my ear."When did you get that phone? It looks so expensive" my mom gave me a suspicious look as she walke
Still in the middle of nowhere, the next day after school.Lakshmi's hair was floating in air, it was still attached to her head but it looked like a heavy breeze was trying to separate her hair from her head.Mia kept on clinging to her necklace as it felt like it would rip out if her neck any moment, she didn't want to let it go."Daaddddy!" She yelled for help, hoping that her father would come to her rescue."So your dad has been the one protecting you all this while?" Alyssa paused before she smiled."He won't come for you Mia" she kept on squeezing her fist and making gestures as if she was pulling a rope for a tug of war."So you can hear?" Lakshmi was struggling to talk and hold on to her hair as well."After all you have discovered, you really want me to believe that you are surprised?" Alyssa scoffed."Stooppp!" Mia suddenly screamed as her nails grew longer and her eyes turned red before she scratched on Alyssa's face, inserting three of he
In a different world."Mum… my.. my.. my.. hands. look mum" Alyssa showed her trembling hands to her mother who was busy stirring a pot with a green glowing liquid."You have to calm down Alyssa or else the potion might not work" Alyssa mum was trying her best to make Alyssa think straight but she just refused to."How do you expect me to calm down! Look at my hands, they are on fire!" Alyssa shouted at her mom, earning a warning from her."I'm sorry mum but I just can't.."Alyssa was talking but her mum shut her up by pouring the hot green, glowing liquid on her hands."Oohhaa!" Alyssa just couldn't understand the kind of pain that she was feeling, but it only lasted for three minutes as the fire had quenched, the fire that even water and sand could not quench."How are you feeling now?"Alyssa's mom asked her as she kept on observing the burnt wounds on her hands."It's better now, thank you mum" she hugged her mum and then looked at her hands, she l
Lakshmi's POV"Mia" I called out to Mia to get her attention. She was so focused on her textbook, it almost felt like I wasn't sitting in front of her."Yes Lakshmi" she raised her head up."I think I am a bad person" I blurted out just to find out what Mia's response would be."Humans think a lot of things that are not true" Mia was trying to dive into research she had made so far and I was seriously not interested."You were supposed to ask me why I would say such," I raised my eyebrow and tilted my head a bit."Okay why?" Mia asked."Are you asking me because you want to know the reason or you are just asking me because I told you it was the right thing to do?" I was very confused at that point."Both" Mia shrugged.I shook my head and looked at her, Mia just wouldn't stop finding ways to surprise me."Anyways Mia, I have finally met my brother but there is just one problem" I was about to confess to how silly I was."Which is?" Mia was
Alyssa was more frustrated than she was angered. All her plans had been ruined."Mum! Mum!" She kept on yelling for her mother, without any care that someone outside the school's bathroom might hear her."Alyssa" her mum appeared in front of her, accompanied by a pink glowing dust."You have to be careful when you call my name, what if someone hears you and comes in here?" Her mum was scolding her but she didn't care."Then we will kill whoever is brave enough to intervene in my private matter" she clenched her fist and grinned her teeth, she also punched her hand through the bathroom mirror."You have to calm down Alyssa, we cannot just go about killing students of your school randomly, you will risk exposing us and by the way you are behaving I can tell that the plan failed, you couldn't get Mia's hair right?" Banshee folded her eyes as she tried to focus her gaze on a fuming Alyssa."Mum, I was so close, so close mum but that stupid Mia just had to turn ar
Lakshmi's POVMy tongue was on fire, well that was how I was feeling."Scott!" I yelled as I used my hands to fan my tongue."Wait there" he motioned for me to stop moving and he zoomed out of the kitchen only to return with some bread."Chew it" he gave it to me, cutting a small piece and shoving it in my mouth before I could even give him permission to."How do you feel?" He asked when he noticed that I slowly swallowed the bread."Are you trying to kill me or something?" I was angered and my eyes showed it."What do you mean by that?" He lowered his brows."Firstly you gave me that food that was extremely hot and then you tried to choke me with dry bread" I rested my folded hands on my chest and he did nothing but laugh at me."Well I wasn't the person that told you to eat the food while it was steaming hot. Well, I guess that has taught you to be patient" Scott was teasing me and I threw my socks at him and he dodged it. I ended up chasin
Mara's POVI started running for my life when I knew they hadn't seen me yet but I was sure they were looking for me, at that point the only person who I knew would be willing to help me was no other person than Keren. I didn't think twice before I called her."Why have you called me when you made it clear that you have quit your job?" Keren was so pissed off by my phone call."Please you have to help me, those people are still after me. I don't know what they want from me, please you have to do something" I pleaded with her over the phone as I didn't stop running even while I made the call. I kept on running, I didn't look back even for a second."What?" Keren replied and this attitude of her saying "what" all the time was really annoying."Are you going to help me or not because now is not the best time to be acting all surprised" I finally stopped to catch my breath."Send me your location and I'll try to get there as fast as I can" Keren instructed me and
