Dear Prison Diary,

An eerie silence fell before the room. A silence unlike any other. A silence so still and so cold and so powerful that it felt like I was floating in space.

But no...I wasn't floating in space. I was standing in an office. The office specifically of Rus Cargale who was the man that came up with the idea of the terrible prison.

The man who thought women had to behave or they would be punished.

The man who could have killed me and all the others if he felt like it.

The man...who was my father.

'My father is right in front of me...'

For the first time in forever, I was at a lost for words.

"Well.....there's the truth.." He whispered near my ear. I could hear his chilling voice say from above me making the hair on my neck stand up.

I couldn't look up at him. Even when I tried to I just couldn't. My mind said look at him but my heart said don't you dare.

Something wet was sliding down my cheek. After a few moments, I realized it was a tear. I didn't blink it away because I just knew more would fall.

And they did.

They kept falling and falling until they were all over my face.

Drowning me in a flood of grief.

My mouth felt like drier than the Sahara Desert. I tried to swallow but it felt like a lump of sand was in my throat.

"Avalon...look at me." He said with a certain authority in his voice. I kept my head down and tried my best not to react but the temptation was unbearable.

"No." I heard my voice say after what seemed like forever. It was a very quiet answer that he could only hear while standing right in front of me.

I could sense his body stiffen up and a groan emit from within his chest. "Look at me right now!" He shouted sternly and I jumped slightly surprising myself.

"No!!" I shouted back squeezing my eyes tightly. I began to slowly step back moving farther and farther away from the man who I had imagined meeting since I was a child.

Now that he was there in front of me I realized that imagination was no match for reality.

Before I even knew it he had stalked towards me pushing me backward slightly. One of his hands gripped my forearm tightly. His other hand gripped my chin and forced my face to look up at him. I tried to struggle out of his grip but he was very strong and persistent. My eyes flew open from shock and they bored into his.

"You will listen and do as you're told. I am a man so that means when I say to do something you do it!" His stern voice said between his clenched teeth.

At that moment as I looked into his brown eyes I started to understand everything.

Why something about his eyes bothered me.

It was because I recognized them.

They were my eyes.

We had the same eyes.

They were the same however his eyes held something that mines didn't. Something sick.

Suddenly I realized that he was still holding me and the thought of that disgusted me.

"Get away from me!!" I screamed at him smacking his hand away from my face. This seemed to stun him because his eyes widened in a way as if he couldn't believe I just it.

I took five steps back until I was a good distance away from him. I brang my hand up to my face and wiped the dried up tears away and sniffed. My chest heaved in and out slowly. He stood there with his face hardened and his hands clenched into tight fists. We stayed like that for a while just staring at each other. I stared with deep and utter hatred until I built up enough courage to speak.

"All my life.." I began "I've thought about what I would say to you when we'd finally meet." My voice cracked slightly and I trembled trying to hold myself together.

"Do you have any idea....how much I hated you?" I spoke softly trying desperately to keep my voice steady. I wasn't going to seem like a helpless little girl in front of him.

He just stared at me his jaw tightening while beginning to fold the cuffs on his suit. I began to get impatient.

"Do you know how much I hated you?!" I screamed, this time, my body trembling violently. This didn't seem to phase him one bit as he only raised his eyebrows still showing no emotion.

'How dare he?? How dare he just stand there holding a straight face while I told him how much I hated him?' I thought.

"You never came to see me, you never checked up on me, you probably didn't even know my name until now, and worst of all...." I trailed off my voice softening as I looked away in a daze.

"You raped my mother....You made me the product of rape." The lump in my throat returned and this time it felt like I was being choked. My heart ached as I stared down at the floor thinking about my poor mother who was victim to my father.

After a while, I thought he wasn't going to speak but then I heard his gruff voice.

"Is that what she told you?" He asked me his voice softer now then it was before. My head snapped up to look at him because that answer was not what I had expected. I stared at him with squinty eyes crusted with dried tears. He looked back at me, his expression calm, cool and collected.

"Yes, that's what she told me you Bastard!" I yelled at him repulsed that he would even ask that. My body trembled with anger at how emotionless he sounded talking about this.

He just chuckled and rubbed the stubble on his chin with his two fingers. "Once a liar always a liar." I heard him say under his breath. He thought I didn't but I sure enough did. What the hell??

"Wait what do you me-" I started to say but he interrupted.

"I think it's time you return to your cell," He said shutting me down quickly walking pass me. I put my hands up in a dismissive way.

"No, wait hold on what did you mean when you said-"

"The guards from before please come return this prisoner to her cell." He said into an intercom that I hadn't noticed was planted on the wall. He turned towards me after releasing the button and I backed away from him.

"I am not leaving this room until you tell me what you meant when you said that." I spoke clearly and firmly pointing one finger at the ground. I was tired of being told what to do.

He stared at me studying my face for a minute and it was really hard for me not to look away but I was not going to lose this battle.
He opened his mouth and I thought he was finally going to tell me what I wanted to hear but again I was mistaken.

"Goodbye, Avalon." He spoke with a serious tone. "We will see each other again very soon." His voice lowered as he approached the end of his sentence making me tense up.

That's when the guards arrived at the door.
