I wave to my fans and I haven't even start singing yet and they're already as hypered up as if they have endless energy. I go closer and I shake hands with some of them.
Fan-I love you.
-I love you too.
I throw him a kiss and I start singing as always in my favorite tongue. I sing in Greek and I give them always the tradition on their preferred language when they enter before the concert. That way they can sing it at home on their own language.

When I finish they clap furiously and I smile at them. I sing the rest of the songs just as I always do. When I finish the entire concert they ask for more but I deny kindly. That I have to rest and go back to my own home and I promise I will be back on social media and all that. I go forward to shake hands with some of them when one of the boys pulls me down and kisses me on the lips fiercely leaving me stunned and perhaps shocked by his fearlessness. I stay there and I ask Karma for a napkin and my perfume. He comes and gives me the things I asked for.
Ka-Here you go.
I smile at him and I kiss the napkin leaving the mark of my lips on it. I get it perfumed and then I give it to the guy that just kissed me.
-For you.
He smiles widely at me and he gets the napkin like is his own life. I go away and I go back to change on my private room and when I enter the room I see a gigantic bouquet of flowers waiting there for me. I read the card and they are from dad. He apologizes for not being able to come but that he knows I will do good. I send them home and I finally change clothes into something more formal but still comfortable as the next thing I have to do is a worldwide live interview before going home myself.

We arrive just on the nick of time to the set for the interview and I ask Karma to call dad but it ends up with me doing it.
-Dad, I'm about to do the interview. If you want to see me is live so you can see me from your phone or tablet. Do tell me when you're watching it.
He says that he already turned the TV on to see me and I let out a soft laugh. I bid farewell for now and I enter to the stage and I sit on one of the couches.
Lady-So, Nova, can you tell us when did you truly started to record songs like for the purpose of becoming a singer for all ages and in all languages?
-In my twenties, I won't specify.
Lady-Ok, I should tell you, I'm amazed that you managed to be so famous in so little time. Why do you think that is?
-I really don't think much about it but if I had to guess I'll say is because I don't sing in English or Spanish but in Greek.
Lady-Greek? Why Greek?
-There are reasons, one is because I have Greek family, is different and I love to sing in Greek.
Lady-We always see you with this redhaired boy and multiple people have send in the same question. They want to know if he's your boyfriend or husband or anything of the sort.
-He's nothing of the sort. He's my brother and we never do anything separated.
Lady-Does he speaks Greek too?
-Yes, he helps me practice when I write the songs. I sing them for him and if something doesn't make the note we play around with the words so they sound good and make sense still sticking to the main purpose of the song.
Lady-Now, about love, everyone wants to know about love. Do you have a boyfriend? Or a crush perhaps.
-I don't and I doubt I will ever have one again.
Lady-Again? Does that means you had a boyfriend before?
-Yes, and he came with a heartbreak included.
Lady-Sorry, not to be disrespectful but, if he right now is seeing you on TV, what would you say to him?
- I'll say that I really loved him and I'd forgive him for what he did and I hope he can be happy because I know I am happy.
Lady-Would you say that you forgot him? That it doesn't hurt anymore?
-Well, I still get sad when I remember him then angry and then I calm down thinking about good stuff. I already cried for him and I won't look back anymore, I'm focused on my present and what I want and what awaits me for the future. No regrets.
Lady-One last question, I was on the concert for you and I saw when that boy fan kissed you. Can you tell us about your thoughts about it?
-Well, I was between surprised and shocked. I don't like people kissing me like that but I will forgive him as he didn't know about it and he is after all a fan just, next time kiss the hand or the cheek, my lips are always out of reach.
Lady-Well then, unfortunately, that is all the time we have it was a pleasure having you on our program.
-It was a pleasure to be here.
We exchange our goodbyes and I finally have the pleasure to relax and take it easy. We just have to go back home.
Ka-We have two flights available. One leaves as soon as we get there and he other one is tomorrow night. Which one do you want, I recommend tomorrow when the rain stops but is still your call.
-The first choice, I want my bed as soon as possible and get some good rest. Please say there's a shower on the plane.
He nods and I smile at him hugging him tightly. We go towards the airport to take the plane back home and I almost regret my choice when the rain starts getting worse with high probability of becoming a storm. We make it to the plane soaked and the plane takes flight and we suffer a lot of turbulence. They announce that as the storm is getting worse we have to land until the storm passes.
Karma POV
When we land for safety reasons we get down from the plane. I sit for a moment as Nova excuses herself.
N-I'm going to the bathroom and get a snack, do you want something?
-No, don't take long.
She laughs and she goes away. I rest back against the seat and just wait for Nova to come back. This is going to be a boring wait.
After thirty minutes I call on mom to let her know our situation. We speak for a moment before she asks to speak to Nova.
He-Can you get me Nova?
-She's on the bathroom. And getting a snack.
He-Any idea when she'll be back?
-None whatsoever but I can tell her to call you when she comes back.
He-Sure, hope to see you soon. Love you.
-Love you too, bye.
He-Bye.
I hang up and I turn and I see the time and notice that Nova is taking much too long in coming back. I call her to her phone and I swear I can hear it on the distance so I put down mine and look back. I turn to go to the bathrooms and I find her phone ringing on the floor just at the entrance of the bathroom. I pick it up and then I look around. I calm myself down and I concentrate in finding her by her aura and I grow frustrated when I can't find her. I go to the security desk and I ask to see the security cameras but there is no clue about her. The cameras were off of range when she disappeared, just my luck. I take a rash and dangerous decision as I decide to walk all the way home with the storm still raging on.
Nova POV
I wake up and as I try to move I notice that I'm blindfolded, tied up by my arms and legs and I hear a soft chuckle from my side and I instantly get as far as I can from there.
Man-So you're awake at last. I'm glad.
I feel his hand on my cheek and I turn away from his touch.
Man-I'm not going to hurt you, I'll be nice if you play nice.
He gives me a kiss and I give him a headbutt and he groans painfully growling before he takes me by the hair holding me back as he forces another kiss on me. Then he walks away and when I hear the closing door I try to undo my ties but to no avail, they're too tight.
Karma POV
I finally reach home and I almost knock down dad as he's about to go out for his usual morning run. I can tell he's surprised to see me.
Ha-Karma, what are you doing here? Where's Nova? Why isn't she with you?
I can't talk as I'm catching my breath but by my surprise I can tell he understands the basic problem. He gives me his water bottle and I gulp it down completely before I take a deep breath and speak.
-I found this on the floor.
I give him Nova's phone and he tenses up.
Ha-You and me alone. We'll look for her now.
Nova POV
I am just lying there exhausted from trying to break free for hours and hours and hours. After a bit I hear the door opening and I turn alert again and ready to fight.
Man-Hello darling, how are you doing?
-Let me go.
Man-Sorry, can't do that. You'll be my woman whether you like it or not. Don't worry though, I won't do it now but soon I will make you mine and I'll make you the happiest woman on the universe.
He gives me a kiss on the cheek and I keep struggling with him. Time passes and he feeds me only once a day and I just grow more sad and afraid of what might happen and if I'll get out of here soon. I'm just glad that the only thing he has done to me is kisses and caresses just gently. I hate when he does that but at least he's not hurting me. One day I'm just sitting there and I think about dad and mom and Karma and all my family when I hear the door opening. I can sense as he starts getting the room with a good smell of nature flowers and things like that and then I hear soft sounds when he starts touching me softly.
Man-You're so sexy. Finally, you'll be mine.
I hear the hunger on his voice and I start to struggle against him not letting him touch me or anything of the sort.
Karma POV
I grow frustrated as it's been almost a month since Nova disappeared and we have not a single clue on where she is. I'm discharging my fury against a boxing bag, punching it fast and hard. I replay again and again her smile and I can't help but imagine the worst. I break the bag in tiny little pieces and I get another one hang up and punch that one too. I keep punching bags until someone stops me. I look behind me and I see dad holding my arm. I let out a sigh and I can tell there was not much progress in finding her. We go sit down and I rub a pack of ice on my now bloody hands when I suddenly feel a jolt of fear fill my body before I turn anxious and I feel as if someone's hitting me and I wince in pain. I fall on my knees breathing hard and pulse accelerating.
Ha-Are you ok?
I wince my head in pain and I could swear I just heard Nova calling out to me just now and just when I feel a trace of her aura when I turn to look for it it vanishes just as fast as it came. I pant exhausted and I look through the room searching for what I just felt and as I get up I concentrate on searching her aura. Is weak but is slipping out as if its desperate to escape from wherever she is. I turn to dad with a slight renoved hope in my heart.
-Can you keep up with me?
He nods and I get my shirt on and we run to where I felt Nova just now. Is far but I don't care. I'm going to get my sister back and I will kill whoever has her.
