At the orphanageMelinda had finally recovered and returned to the orphanage, the love the kids showed her was just enough to get rid of her sickness. Ever since she declined her mum's request for her to leave the country, her mum had refused to speak to Melinda and at one point she claimed she was no longer her daughter but Melinda didn't let that bother her because she knew she was just angry and like other times, her anger would subside. Mia on the other hand tried to continue her life, she tried to forget about her fear just like Miss Joyce had told her but things only became more challenging for her, she always felt like she was being watched. She felt like someone kept on following her and she couldn't take it anymore. "Leave me alone, get away from me" she covered her ears and screamed at the gate of the orphanage. Hearing her awful screams Melinda rushed out of the orphanage only to find Mia on the floor with her school uniform, she had clearly lost consciousness. Melinda quic
Slowly, Mia came to accept the fact that Rebecca was no longer going to be staying with her in the orphanage, she was going to have new parents."Mia" Rebecca knocked on the room door to get Mia's attention."Aren't you supposed to be leaving with your parents soon?" Mia replied not taking her eyes off the book she was reading."Yes they will be here soon. You know Miss Melinda said I could come visit you here if it was okay with my parents" Rebecca sat next to Mia who didn't raise her head up to look at her."Okay that's nice" Mia shrugged and dropped her book to leave the room."I will miss you" Rebecca rushed towards Mia and embraced her tightly.Mia didn't reciprocate as she just stood there and let Rebecca wrap her hands around her."You will be fine" Mia left the room, as soon as Rebecca finally let go of her.Melinda who had stood by the door watching the whole thing with a long face left the room, she just couldn't stand to see a child suffer the way Mia was suffering.After R
As an autistic child, moving into a new environment was a very big deal for Mia. She wasn't just autistic, she was a teenager and many normal teenagers couldn't handle moving into a new environment, so it was a very big setback for Mia. To crown it all, not even a single person liked Mia in her new environment. She always had to deal with bullying in junior high and now she had to face the same thing in her new school in senior high.After her classmate had tied her hair into a crazy nut she was trying to lose it in the bathroom but had serious trouble doing it."Don't try to get it loose. You look cute this way, next time I think I should just cut your hair " Lakshmi told her as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.Lakshmi was an Indian girl who moved to America to study, her parents had lots of money, they were filthy rich but the only problem that she had was that her family wasn't settled at a place. They always moved from one country to another and she fou
Mia suddenly realized herself after she had dumped the smoothie on Lakshmi, her necklace was also glowing again but she didn't notice. Her walk home was a lonely one as usual, she was passing by a tree when she saw a cat stuck in a tree. It was so high up and it looked scared. Mia hated animals but she also knew what it felt like to be alone and helpless.So she tried to make it come down but it wouldn't, she finally came up with a way. She saw a huge stone on the floor and aimed exactly 4 millimeters away from the cat. The cat thought she wanted to hit it so it panicked and jumped down from the tree, landing on its feet.She picked up her school bag which she had dropped earlier and continued her walk to the orphanage."Oh no! What is that?" One of the kids at the orphanage screamed and ran away from Mia when he saw the glowing necklace on her neck.Mia looked confused as she looked around to check if the boy had seen a ghost or a wild animal but she didn't see any."Look there it is
After Mia had saved Lakshmi's life, she couldn't even remember what actually triggered Lakshmi to start behaving that way towards her. Three days later a class was going on when Mia suddenly covered her ears with her hand."What? No! No" Mia kept screaming in the middle of the class. The teacher and all the students paused to look at her. The students who were sitting next to Mia stood up from their seats and moved away from her. She threw her books that were on the table to the floor."Mia are you okay?" Lakshmi, who was the only person that actually cared, quickly began to walk towards Mia."Please don't leave me, please don't leave me" Mia kept on screaming and broke down in tears."Mia no one is going to leave you okay?" Lakshmi comforted Mia. She stood over Mia and made her rest her head on her waist while Mia sat on the chair.Surprisingly to Lakshmi, Mia wrapped her hand around her waist crying uncontrollably. Lakshmi gasped in fear but after some time she hugged Mia's neck gen
At Mia's schoolMia was walking down the hallway when she got distracted by a voice."Here Mia" Kyle yelled from afar to get Mia's attention. Mia turned to look at him, though not looking directly at him."Catch" Kyle threw a ball aiming directly for Mia's face.Just then, Lakshmi came from nowhere and hit the ball, making it change direction, bouncing on a locker before landing on the floor.Kyle was surprised and Lakshmi lowered her eyes, making them half closed, she walked over to the ball and picked it up before slowly walking towards Kyle's direction."You know, you should tell someone far ahead of time before trying to play a game of catch with them unless you might get hurt yourself" Lakshmi used the ball to hit Kyle on the stomach."Ooh" Kyle clutched his stomach and gasped in pain."Don't even try it" Lakshmi warned Kyle's friends who wanted to approach her. They retreated in their movements and helped Kyle to stand straight."What business do you have with who I play catch w
At Mia's orphanage home"My kite is broken now, go away" one of the kids around 3 years old was scolding another, who was almost the same age as her. She had been flying her kite when the kids bumped into her and the kite crashed into a tree.Mia watched as the two kids fought over a small issue and she wondered why such a trivial issue could cause a disagreement in the first place."I'll help you get your kite down and I'll fix it as well" Mia offered, fixing her eyes on the floor."No go away, you aren't wanted" the owner of the kite chased her. Mia still didn't listen, she used a stick to try and bring down the kite but she created a hole in it in the process.The little girl burst into tears and went to report Mia to one of the staff."Why did you even do that? She asked you not to and yet you went ahead. So you are stubborn and weird?" The lady scolding Mia raised an eyebrow.Mia, who was being scolded, wasn't paying attention, she was trying to fix the little girl's kite but she
Mia sat on the bench outside alone while everyone was enjoying their lunch. She saw a little girl playing in the sandbox but what drew her attention to this little girl was her lava red hair. She walked up to her and introduced herself."Hi I'm Mia" she saif sweetly, the little girl dropped the shovel she was playing with in the sandbox just so she could focus her attention on Mia."You are an orphanage" the girl openly blurted out."Yes but aren't, we all orphans in this place, what's your name?" Mia was still nice to her. Lakshmi had been teaching her how to communicate so she decided to use the little girl as a test subject."I am not an orphan, I have a mum" the girl beamed at Mia with a smile and Mia felt very offended, her smile was clearly fake and Mia just didn't settle well with her."Your eyes, they are green. They are glowing as well" Mia pointed out and intended to go closer to the girl but she quickly moved back from her."Don't you ever try to touch me again or else I wi
Scott's POVMy d*ck which was hard as a rock not too long ago came down at once and I slid out of Emily at once."Lakshmi" I blinked my eyes severally to make sure I wasn't imagining things.My worst nightmare has come…it has barely been 24 hours and she has already caught me with Emily."I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb both of you" Lakshmi rushed out of the room with almost the same speed she came in with."Let's continue from where we stopped ''Emily dragged me back on the bed so I was on top of her but I was no longer in the mood."Maybe later okay…I have to go do something now" I lied to her as I dashed out of the room to go and find Lakshmi.Emily's POVCould it be that Scott is in love with his sister or maybe they are both having an affair? If not then why does he always leave me whenever she comes around.Whatever the case maybe there is something going on between both of them.Lakshmi's POVWhat is wrong with me? Why do I get upset whenever I see my brother with another gi
Two weeks had passed after the party and Lakshmi was returning from somewhere with her brother. Whatever he said must have been very funny because she was laughing so hard."You have no idea…I left her so shocked she nearly forgot her own name" Scott continued to talk which made Lakshmi laugh even harder but she paused and stumbled backwards as if she had just seen a ghost in her house."You!" Her eyes were wide open…at first Scott wondered what could be so surprising but when he also saw who was standing in front of them he reacted almost in the same way as she did."So you know each other?" Lakshmi's dad walked up to them alongside another man who was properly dressed in a green suit. He looked like he was around the same age as Lakshmi's dad."Ehrm…" Lakshmi and Scott echoed at the same time."Yes dad…I know him" Emily said very quickly with a squeezed face."Oh…Lakshmi meet Mr Ryan…he is Emily's father and my new business partner. He will be staying here
At Lakshmi's house"Wow!!" Lakshmi held on tight to her dress as she gasped in amazement. She never thought that her school could look so beautiful at night."Mia look" Lakshmi pointed at every decoration she could see.Mia just kept tilting her head left and right."It is beautiful '' Mia gave Lakshmi a faint smile."Quit acting like a bush girl…should I come inside with you or I should just wait for you two in the car?" Scott asked his sister who kept looking around…she couldn't be blamed though…she had never been outside this late before and she hadn't attended a night party before…probably just some few birthday parties but none like this."Come with us," Mia suddenly said."Hmmn" Scott thought about it for a while before he eventually gave in.Even his sister whom he had asked earlier didn't give him an answer so he thought it would just be wise to keep an eye on her.Everyone looked so beautiful, Mia and Lakshmi for some reason outshone ever
Banshee's POVFinally everything was falling into place. I threw the necklace into the boiling pot and as expected the whole thinking bubbled some more like a volcano but what I didn't expect was the eruption of the contents and the whole thing was ruined as it spilled recklessly on the floor."MUM!" Alyssa exclaimed and ran out of the room almost immediately."I also moved away from the pot as well.After the whole thing had cooled down I went into the room to see the damage, the necklace was half burnt and the floor was smoking."WHAT?" I gasped. It was totally impossible…this necklace is indestructible."What happened?" Alyssa looked at the floor and then she looked back at me."You have been played…this…this is fake" I picked up the necklace and threw it at the wall. It broke into pieces at once."No it…it can't be" she tried to argue."Oh just stop it…shut up and get out of my sight " I sent her out.I thought I was the one that cursed Mi
At lakshmi's house; In Lakshmi's room"Mia what are you even saying to me? How can you decide to give Alyssa your necklace? If you do that then Alyssa would…" Lakshmi was protesting…protesting couldn't even qualify how aggressive she was sounding."You have to calm down" Mia interrupted her and then something dawned on Lakshmi. She wasn't the one who told Mia about Alyssa's outrageous demand so how did Mia find out?"My father told me" Mia read Lakshmi's mind and answered her question even before she could ask."Hmmn" Lakshmi sighed before she closed her eyes very slowly and buried her face in her palms like she usually did when she was disturbed."You don't have to worry she will be here soon with your brother. I already informed her that I was willing to give her the necklace" Mia reminded Lakshmi.The room just screamed in silence because on one hand Mia was thinking about why her father hadn't shown up with the fake necklace yet and on the other hand Lakshmi was busy thinking abou
Lakshmi's POV"Well, what do you want me to do? His condition isn't getting any better" I overheard my father yelling at my mum. I knew he was referring to my brother and they seemed to be in a heated argument because of him."That doesn't mean we should give up…whether you like it or not he is still our son" my mother answered back in the same tone he spoke to her."He slept with a nurse there" my dad revealed to my mum."Well as you said he slept with her…did she complain that he was r*ped…if not then what is the problem there?" My mum fluttered her eyes."Are you supporting what he did? Did you enjoy it when he did it to you?" My father asked my mum a very ridiculous question."Get my son out of that hospital…let's find a solution. He has been there for so many weeks and he isn't recovering so get him out of there!!" my mum yelled."He isn't even your real son. I don't know why you are so bothered about him," my father grumbled."What did you just say?" My mum forced him to face he
Still at Lakshmi's houseAlyssa gave Scott a peck on the lips as he wrapped his hands around her waist and returned the kiss. He lifted her up and placed his hands firmly on her soft bums."Lakshmi" he stopped k*ss*ng Alyssa suddenly and dropped her on the floor carelessly."What was that for?" Alyssa scolded him."She is bleeding…is she alright?" He declared with wide opened eyes and Alyssa rolled her eyes."So what is our business if she is alive or not. You should be bothered about me and no one else…is that understood?" Alyssa ordered as her eyes turned bloodshot red and the more Scott looked into her eyes.. the more he fell into her trap.He was completely under her spell and he would do anything she wanted and nothing more."Yes" he followed her like some kind of zombie."Now carry me to your room.. I came here for you…but unfortunately I met this dumb sister of yours" Alyssa became disappointed.Scott did as she instructed him.. he lifted her and was heading for his room when
At Lakshmi's houseLakshmi's mum almost had a heart attack when she found her stepson laying on Lakshmi's bed. He looked half dead as his eyes didn't settle at a particular place."Lakshmi!!!" She yelled as she stood at the entrance of the door looking dumbfounded.Before anyone, including her husband who stood behind her, could understand what was going on. She fell to the floor and collapsed."MOM!!" Lakshmi's eyes widened as she left her brother and ran towards her mother."Mummy…please open your eyes" she had begun to cry already even though nothing was wrong with her mother.Her dad quickly lifted his wife off the floor and rushed her to his room before he called the family doctor who arrived there in no time."Is she going to be fine?" Lakshmi's dad was more than concerned as he watched how his wife just laid on the bed without responding."Yes she will…she just passed out…out of shock…she should be…" the doctor was talking but then he took
Lakshmi's POVI wonder why that lady hasn't called me or visited me yet. It has been three days already and I was really hoping that she would lead us to my brother but she clearly wasn't interested in the money.My parents never acted the same way again…probably because they had given up.Rumors had spread that my brother was dead already and as usual my parents used work as an excuse to cover up their pain.They were barely at home and they didn't even comfort me when I needed them the most. My whole life was completely upside down, nothing seemed to work.I have tried to tell Mia but she just gives me the weirdest answers and telling her doesn't help me feel better in anyway.I sat on my couch and buried my face in my palms, I was crying and I didn't want to hold back the tears any longer."If I was an intruder then wouldn't I have raped you" I heard a familiar voice and shook my head in disbelief before I raised my head to look at the person that
