Dear Prison Diary,

What was I supposed to do? I had to follow him. Whether I liked it or not, I was the prisoner and he was the guard and if I didn't follow orders the outcome wouldn't be good for me.

To my surprise, Layna didnt stop me from going with him, even though she claimed she wanted to protect me. Of course I didn't need it but deep down inside it still felt nice to know that she wanted to keep me safe.

I guess she wanted me to go voluntarily so that the guard wouldn't have to drag me away by force. She was a good sister. I just hoped that this never happened to her.  As far as I knew, not one guard had ever put his hands on her and I hoped that it would stay that way.

I pulled away from her slowly, feeling her small wrist slip through my hand. She let it drop and when I turned my head to peak back at her I could see her hiding a worried expression, covering it up with a small smile. 

Our eyes met, my big brown ones and her big blue ones, and only one thing  was said. We communicated through our strong connection.

Be careful..

We both gave each other a small nod and I turned my head to walk off, my gaze reaching the back of the tall guard, then she called my name again.

"Avalon!" She yelled out and I turned my head quickly with wide eyes worried that something happened. She only waved when she saw that my attention was to her and shouted out that she was going to go search for Violet and try to make her forgive me. I sighed and slumped my shoulders ready to tell her not to waste her time but before I could respond, she was already running, down the long hallway towards the other prisoners. I could hear her little footsteps hitting the floor.

Despite my frustration with her innocent outlook on the situation, a small smile still spread across my face. Violet was not going to just forgive me. I betrayed her, I broke her trust and made her  vulnerable in front of the other prisoners, they were not going to see her as the emotionless and mysterious prisoner in Cell Number 46 anymore. She was not going to forgive me just yet but Layna was still trying. She was still trying to make things better. That's who she was. A Peacemaker.

"Hey! Walk up before the boss starts getting impatient!" I heard the guard's gruff voice say from in front of me making me jump a little and I turned around, looking away from the hallway where my sister once was.

The guard was really starting to annoy me with his constant badgering. It made me want to bang his head against a wall. I mean really, what was the big deal? What would happen if my father got impatient? 

I thought about it for a moment and then shrugged. Whatever it was it wasn't going to affect the me, it was going to affect the guard , so I pretty much was okay with it.

I followed the guard through the doors and down the long dark hallway to which my thoughts started drifting back to a week ago when I first walked through there, how scared I was, how confused I was. I had no idea where I was being forced to go or why I was going there and frankly I had no idea who I was going to meet and exactly who he was to me. Out of all the things I could have guessed, meeting my father definetly did not cross my mind.

Besides being scared and confused I could also remember how upset I was. Violet didn't help me when those guards took me away. I remember how angry and hurt I was by this betrayal, She barely blinked an eye and I didn't know it then but I did care about Violet and I knew she cared about me too, well at least a little bit. At least for Layna's sake that is. So when she did nothing to help me I could not for the life of me understand why.
