Their Elemental Curse: Book 2

Chapter 35

*Celosia "Robin" Douglas POV:*

I sucked on my teeth to get a piece of meat out that was stuck in between them as I stared up at the white ceiling above.

The ceiling was nothing but a void of white that seemed never ending the more you stared into it. It could easily drive you insane. It was plain, no emotion. No color what's so ever. It was like a state of nothingness.

The clanging of doors opening and closing were heard in the distance. Sometimes I would even hear women arguing and fighting with each other, officers shouting commandments and more.

It was jail.

It was March 20th. I've spent the last six months in it, awaiting my trial for killing the World Leader.

But, you wanna know something? I don't regret a single thing, and I don't give a single fuck.

I will take on my sentence with a smile, if it means saving the world from John Victran, who was only going to lead the world into war and chaos. He was corrupted, greedy and power hungry. In the beginning he just hid it behind his caring, gentle demeanor and pretend to care about world peace just to get people on his side. And it worked...but only for so long.

Not only did he kill my lover's mom in cold blood, but he constantly threatened countries who didn't want to be part of and/or left the one world government. The video that was posted was only the icing on the cake where he revealed everything to us at the prison, not knowing he was being recorded. Everything that was said worked out in experi-babies favor. The people turned on him even more than they already were. Both rich and poor, old and young saw their wrong doings. That's when the protests started to happen in support of experi-babies.

It was slow, but more people were turning to our side.

It made me smile thinking about it. I may have a life sentence, I may even be sentenced to death but if sacrificing my freedom and life means that experi-babies can live in a world where they aren't ashamed of who they are, then I'll accept whatever comes my way.

I flopped flat on the bed which felt like hard cardboard. Rolling up the orange sleeve of my uniform, I scratched my arm.

I can't tell you the last time I had a good nights rest. It's been a while. I barely leave my cell and when I do, it's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I spend the rest of the time reading, sleeping or exercising in my cell.

Plus, it prevents me from too much interactions with the inmates which may lead to fights. It wasn't like I was scared, but unlike my younger self, I wasn't a fighter anymore. It's not worth it.

I could slowly feel myself drifting into sleep as the white ceiling started to become fader and blurrier.

I was almost into dreamland until I heard my cell door unlock with a loud clang.

"Ms. Douglas, come with me", a male staff demanded as she wiggled her finger. Her face showed no emotion and her body language didn't say much either, so I couldn't pinpoint what it is what they wanted.

Was it a visit? Was Gaia, Beval, my parents and the others visiting me? They haven't done so in a month.

"Make sure to pack all of your items too", they finished.

"Um, what's going on?", I asked as I sat up. "Am I being transferred to another jail?"

"No. You are being released", he shook his head. He smiled a small smile, something I haven't seen him do at all since I been here.

I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering if he went batshit crazy.

"What? What do you mean? I-I killed the world leader," I explained.
