Things have drastically changed what used to be a life I learnt to love and appreciate even with all its ups and downs that had just changed. Everyone revealed their true colours. I knew I had a mission and that mission was to end the chapter of horror and evil that started long ago but little did I know that my life had to end along with this chapter. But I had to fulfill my mission . Maybe everyone would be happier and lead a normal life with me gone .

As I sat in the taxi I thought about how drastically my life was about to change . Here I was going to the home of the person who abandoned me the person who never wanted me hoping that they'll accept me .

Well if it were up to me I wouldn't go there but my aunt Lily insists that I'll be safe there and I'll get all the information I need to fulfill my mission and lead a normal life.I completely disagree I feel like this is just going to complicate things further.

The taxi stopped outside a big and beautiful house the entire neighborhood had such beautiful houses but this one was far more welcoming it was fancy but looked like a home.

"We've arrived at your destination, do you need help unloading your bags?" The taxi driver said formally but politely.

"No thank you if you could just unlock the boot for me I will take them myself" I said stepping out of the car and going to take my luggage I brought a backpack that literally had nothing and one suitcase I don't own much.

I closed the boot and went back to the driver. "Thank you" I said giving him the taxi fare which was my aunt's last money .

The taxi drove off and I was left standing in front of the yard . I walked into the yard climbing a few steps to the door. I stood in front of the house which was 10 times bigger than the small modest home I grew up in . My heart pounded in my chest I felt a mix of emotions anger, anxiety and at some point fear.

I rang the doorbell and no one answered I stood there with no answer for at least 3 minutes. I proceeded to ring the doorbell again and after a minute I heard a lady speaking from inside the house talking.

"You better finish your veggies Zain or no dessert" The lady said approach the door. She opened the door and stood smiling at me while wiping her hands on the cloth she carried in her hands. In front of me stood a white lady who seemed so beautiful and kind she didn't look a day over 30.

"Hi can I help you?" She asked me smiling she seemed very kind and sweet I stood there studying her for a sec. " Hello" she said again still smiling I snapped back into my senses.

"Ohhh sorry, I'm looking for Jorja Samuels do you perhaps know her" I said and clearly she recognised the name.

"It depends on who's asking" she replied

"Ohhh my bad I'm Zara , Zara Garcia , her daughter" I said with a smile on my face extending my hand for a hand shake.

She stood there shocked as if I had said something wrong she stared at me for a minute. Tears filled her eyes and she started heavy breathing it was as if she was having a panic attack.

"Z.. Za..Zara" she said taking steps back into the house in reverse as if about to collapse .

"Ma'am are you okay " I asked I felt scared I didn't know what to do she was suffocating and tears were falling from her eyes she fell to the floor on her knees.
