"Althea!.. Althea!!" Lynx tapped on Althea gently, trying to wake her up.

She was awoken by the sound of Althea murmuring in her sleep like she was having a nightmare.

Balls of sweats formed on Althea's forehead. Her brows creasing into a frown and her eyes shutting tightly.

Lynx tapped her again, her voice raising as she called Althea's name again.

Althea jerked up upon hearing her name. Her eyes frantically searching everywhere but as it settled on Lynx, she calmed down a bit.

"What happened?" She asked.

Lynx crossed her arms underneath her bóöbs, raising her brows.

"I should be asking you what happened to you? You kept mumbling in your sleep. Where you having a nightmare or something?"

Althea let out a weary sigh, her hand rising to massage the tension in her forehead.

She had a nightmare. A really terrifying one at that.

It was a dream about Oscar and Katie Roland getting married on the day she was to get released and then, she rushed over to the church to try to stop th

    It was visiting hours but Althea sat curled up on her bunk bed. She closed her eyes, lots of thoughts going through her head. She reminisced over the moment she and Katie were at loggerheads and that was over a year ago. _______________Althea used to work at the reception in an hotel when a lady showed up looking elegant as ever. Her bags, shoes and glasses all looked really expensive.She stood in front of the reception and took off her glasses while her mouth rumbled as she chewed her bubble gum noisily."Welcome to Kings Hotel ma'am.." Althea said, smiling widely."Are you Althea Grace Miller?" Althea felt perplexed that the stranger knows her name. However, she remained calm and answered."Yes ma'am, is there a problem?" "Not at all, but I want to have a word with you outside. Let's talk!" Katie turned and walked away, acting all bossy.Althea hesitated, wondering why some Lady she doesn't know wouldn't want to have a word with her. But, she felt it might be work related and

    What do you want?" Althea asked, her eyes racing through the inmates. The chubby lady took a step forward and Althea unconsciously took a step back. She could not understand why they would suddenly show up and to top it all, there was no one else in the restroom. She had a strange feeling about this but she stood firm. Lynx was right. They're going to get back at her. It wasn't a new thing to her tho because that's what prisoners do. They never let things slide. "If you aren't going to respond to my question, then move aside, I need to get back to my Ward.She made to pass again, but the chubby lady pushed her backwards, making her fall flat on her butt.Althea groaned slightly. Here comes the bullying she thought she'd avoid at all cost. But still, she did not regret having them reported. They needed to learn their lesson.The chubby lady crouched down before her, grabbing her hair and yanking them backwards. This was always their thing. As though her hair was a gold medal, why

    Althea stood up, wiping the balls of sweats off her forehead as she sighed again for the uptenth time. "Gosh, I feel so thirsty..." She said, breathing heavily as though she just ran a marathon race. "Too bad we can't go on breaks, as the wardens have ordered. I really do not understand why we prisoners have to be treated as slaves? No pity at all.." That was from Nova. " It's quite unfair... I'm gradually loosing strength" Lynx chipped in, standing up and also wiping the balls of sweats off her forehead. She could see that almost all the inmates were tired but no one could do anything. As if to add to it, the sun was pretty hot today."Hey, you two.. Get back to work!!" A warden yelled at then. Althea grumbled, bending over. She didn't start weeding immediately but simply stared at her hands which were filled with dirt. Tears filled her eyes immediately... Her once beautiful nails now looks so shabby and untrimmed and.... dirty! There's no way she'd ever get used to this life

She stood in front of Althea with hands on her waist.Althea raised a brow. "What is going on?" "Tell me something Althea.. How did you suddenly get so close to Nova? Why did you have to suggest that she be part of us?" "What? I thought you were okay with it? Asked Althea." Well? I just find it weird!!"Althea sighed, pulled Lynx to sit." She saved me from those inmates. I just think that she's nice. That's all..." "Then you could have just said a simple thank you, you didn't have to ask her to be friends with us..." Lynx said with an eye roll.Althea narrowed her eyes at Lynx, wondering why she's all worked up about Nova."Is this jealousy I see?" "What? Heck no! I'm just trying to be mindful of people you talk with!" Lynx said."Then should I be

Their eyes were fixed at the doctor who kept doing his thing on Althea... Their time was ticking and fast approaching and they both know that any moment from now, the wardens will come take them away.They had pleaded to the warden to spend sometime with Althea and they were given just fifteen minutes."Doctor? What's going on? What's wrong with Althea!?" Lynx couldn't help but ask. The doctor did not respond immediately but rounded up with what he was doing and turned. He adjusted his glasses and asked. "Were there any signs of her being sick?" " Not at all doctor. She looked perfectly fine earlier today. We were all shocked she collapsed suddenly " No

Oscar insisted on going with her but asked him not to, reminding him that he had work to attend to and he can't keep being her bodyguard over such trivial issues.

    Phoenix felt like the stars were on his side today. What an easy way to get rid of Althea. He'd simply just inject her and then walk out freely like nothing ever happened. By the time any one would notice, she'd be long dead... He felt like laughing out his victory as he placed the tray down and picked a particular injection from the tray, then turned to Althea was fast asleep on her bed with on of her arm slightly over her face. He moved closer to her, his smirk getting wider. "What a pity you'd have to die a slow and eat death. I would have loved to see you beg for my mercy while torturing you...

Althea kept playing with her fingers, while biting on her lower lip while Oscar kept slicing the apples while avoiding her gaze. They are both acting awkward because of the kiss they almost shared. Yes, it's weird because at that moment, they both lost their senses. Sighing deeply, Althea thought about if they had really kissed, if only they weren't interrupted, she wished. "Oscar?.." She suddenly called before she could stop herself. "Yes!?" She suddenly went blank. Why did she call him in the first place? What was she going to say? "Nevermind!" She said, averting her gaze.. Such stupid thing to say. Silence befell them, but not for long as Oscar broke the silence. "I noticed you had fun with the ladies..." He said, trying to start up a conversation because he hated the way they kept acting. "Yes! I had fun. we talked about a lot of things and I really enjoyed it. It felt like we've known

    "Girls.. Welcome!!" Althea said when the tension in in the room was getting out of hand.The ladies walked up to her, their piercing eyes not leaving hers."What in the world was happening?" Lynx exclaimed." I guess two individuals are about making out... " Rachel said jokingly. Althea's face flushed in embarrassment. "I suggest you two get a private Ward to go down memory lane... We perfectly understand that it's been years and you two need to recharge... it's totally understandable!!" Mayra commented, placing the basket she was holding down. Althea couldn't contain the embarrassment anymore ... " Stop it ladies, we really weren't doing anything.. " She defended herself but that earned a chuckle from the ladies. " It's okay with the teasing. Someone's face is about turning tomato red, we can't let it burst open! " Katie said, sitting on the Sofa, together with Mayra...

    Oscar shifted in his sleep as he enjoyed the feeling he was getting on his hair. It felt soothing but after thinking about it and realizing that he was still at the hospital, he jerked up to meet Althea's smiling face. For a moment, he went blank as he didn't know what to say. Deep down, he felt happy seeing her awake but the doctors words to him was still very much audible in his head. That alone made him had mixed feelings.. He didn't know what to feel at the moment, should be be happy or sad. However, he realized that what's done is done and he can't change anything or question fate. He decided to push it aside and just live by the present. Thinking about it constantly will only make him more sadder than he has been. He forced himself to smile, however, he tried to make it look sincere, for her sake and not to get her more worried. "Althea... You're awake!!" He said, reaching out for her cheeks and caressing them slightly. "Yes I am... " She said, her voice low and steady.
