LOVING EVERY SHADE OF YOU- SHORT STORY✔

LIFE OF ANIKA & SAVANAH

Torronto City, Canada

Weeks back when Anika landed in Canada

Anika walked into her apartment with the takeaway that she ordered. She glanced at the mess she created hours back and sneered. She was becoming more and more violent. She needed certain answers and only one person could provide it to her.

"Ethan Johnston get your ass at my place in 20 minutes"

Minutes later a person rushed in to the grimy flat of his friend. In actual he was shocked to receive a call from the person whom he thought was in United States

"Anika is that you? When did you return from US?"

Instead of reply he received an flying object which hit his forehead

"Sav is that you? Didn't you owe to not return?" Ethan asked as he moaned in pain

"How long?" 

The voice was lowered down to the point that Ethan wouldn't have heard it if he hadn't concentrated

"2 months"

Anika's eyes dimmed a few degree. She hadn't expected that her other persona can occupy her body for as long as two months. For that whole period she had abandoned the whole world and lived in a deserted area. She couldn't forget how frightened she was when she found herself in such a place when she woke up.

The only thing that remained in her mind after hearing the duration was, Why?

Like what suddenly happened that her emotions diverged to such an extent that her alternative persona was present for that long. She knew that her other personality, Savanah would only resurface whenever there is strong variation in her emotions. 

According to her doctor, Eva Johnston's observation, Savanah was like her safety net. Whenever a negative situation arises her original personality disappears leaving the other persona to face the shit. Anika would return when those chaotic emotions die down.

In short Savanah was just an Escapade

Anika in actual had a gentle demeanour. Being raised by her grandparents from young age she wasn't exposed to more hardships in her childhood. They provided her all the love after her parents had passed away but when she reached late teens and started to work part time in a cafe she shifted to live independently. 

Life was peaceful until it was graced by the entry of her Uncle and his family. They eyed the amount she was supposed to receive when she attains majority, the one that her late parents left for her. Anika knew that they were up to no good but she didn't have the heart to push them away since they were the only ones in her late father's side. The only thing she didn't know that time was she would regret it later.

One day she accidentally stumbled upon the fact that her Uncle was into human trafficking business. Being a naive eighteen year old child she confronted her uncle and threatened him in the name of police. 

That exchange of words served as the start of her nightmares. Her Uncle did everything in his power to suppress her and ultimately decided to take her life. Up until this point the girl grown in protected environment had suffered enough emotionally due to them. Fortunately they couldn't touch a hair on her body as she was well equipped in protecting herself. Hence they  laid out a plan.

When she was attacked she had experienced immense changes in herself. Her honey brown eyes had become red and her gentleness and innocence dissipated completely. Her body had reacted instinctively and turned her into a cold blooded person. That day she had single handedly taken down the whole gang.
