"Hello, Kara?." A small feminine voice echoed from my phone speaker with a tone of worry etched in her voice.
"Sam?." I questioned, feeling rather perplexed as I pulled my phone away from my ear to stare at the screen and be sure I was hearing and seeing properly.
"Omg Kara, where have you and Lance been? Y'all just ghosted us and ditched school since the Halloween party night, is something wrong?." She sounded very worried, I could literally picture the expression on her face now and it made me chuckle.
"You're laughing! Unbelievable, do you know how worried I was, I thought something had happened to y'all!." She kept on rambling.
Typical Sam always a chill vibe.
"Calm down sugar, nothing's wrong, Lance and I are on vacation..." I said calmly as I felt a devious smirk crossing my amused lips and brightening my facial expression.
"Are you kidding me? Then I shouldn't be worried that you're gonna have yourself killed, don't lie to me, K." Sam shuddered in the background.
Okay how did she get a hint about that?.
"I'm not lying to you Sam." I muttered calmly, pouting a little.
"I know everything Kara... Everything!." Sam said as she stressed the last word.
"I don't know what you're talking about!." I said, standing my ground.
If Sam knew anything about what was going she would be directly putting herself into harm's way, I can't risk my friends getting killed as well. Not a chance.
"Kara, my Dad... You know Detective Parker right?." She sighed heavily across the line, her voice lowered now.
"Yeah what about him?." I asked, feigning lack of interest hopefully to make her change her mind.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?.
"Well Harvey's my Dad, I saw the case files and some stuff about the investigation, I asked and he told me all about it..." She reduced her voice to a quiet whisper.
Oh goody!.
"I know you're not asking for my opinion but take it from someone that misses their mother so dearly..." She started and trailed off, weighing the moment carefully before she continued.
"Yeah I don't really know how I feel about you knowing all this..." I admitted quietly.
"I suggest you go see yours Kara, and most importantly try to make up for all that lost time, because life is short, full of surprises and also very unpredictable..." She added.
"Somehow I know deep down that you want this as well..." She said finally.
There was a short silence that was caused by me because I let the weight of her words linger before drinking them in and accepting the fact.
"Maybe!." I muttered firmly and then pulling the phone from my ear, I hit the red end-call button before she had the chance to say anymore words.
Maybe...
Maybe I wanted to see her, maybe I didn't want to hear her explanations.
But what harm could come from just meeting and sitting for a cup of coffee outside a cafe stall.
Johnny and Sara had organized a meeting at the other side of town at a popular Cafe joint.
Yeah I'm screwed.
I could actually bail without giving them any possible explanation for my actions because I owe no one nothing. Periodt!.
***
I don't know how this happened but here I was standing in front of and staring at an older version of my reflection.
Yeah I sorta had a change of heart.
Her brown hair was cropped in a cute Bob, she was rocking a brown coat and black inner dress, her fashion taste was still creative even after ten long years.
"Aren't you gonna at least sit, you've been staring at me for the past eight minutes." Sara said casually placing her firm gaze on me.
Sara?
Sara was the loving woman and mother that I knew ten years ago while Anna was the stranger created by Earl who claimed to be my Mom.
Her perusal was soft yet firm as they studied me from head to toe, she had this glint in her eyes that I still couldn't place, like amused yet nostalgic.
"Cut the bullshit, I'm only here because Johnny put me up to it!." I replied firmly.
I squinted under the afternoon sun, I looked down at my black leather boots that was shinning under the harsh weather,

Once she came out of her room, she handed the room keys to the receptionist and dragged her luggage to the bus. She boarded the bus and kept her luggage in the compartment of the single seat reserved for her. Ensured that it was safe and stepped out. She had some light morning breakfast of two slices of bread, some fruits, and a glass of herbal tea. She bought some bananas and guavas and kept them in her backpack. Just in case she needed to munch, she would have the fruits.One by one all of them boarded the bus. Tanisi boarded it the last and sat at her place.

Caroline stuck to the shadows as she looked grimly at her scrying map. The red marker shone brighter the closer she got to her mark and for a moment she was tempted to send for the elder council. But the abundance of bad leads made the high priestess pause, and reconsider her position, loathing to rouse them from their beds on a chance that this time her locator had worked. Stepping nimbly through the brambles with a grace that belies her age, Caroline gave a sigh of relief as she exited the forest and gazed upon violet field. The gates to the pack pyres were open on the far end and she squinted her eyes in confusion, "They should be shut," She murmured and muttered " el gatus closeth" a simple spell to close doors, but nothing happened.

I rubbed my stomach. I try not to stress because it will affect my fetus. Yes, I should be grateful for the pregnancy I have been waiting for, but it complicates the situation. It would be a lie if I said I was fine. The problem is, I don’t know the father of my baby. Harvey? Or Sean?“Angel.”I found a woman who 3 days ago I was worried about childbirth. Yes, he is Renata. The nurse handed Renata to me, who was sitting in the garden area of the hospital.“Hey, Renata,” I said, glad that I finally had someone I could talk to. “How are you and your baby?”“We’re good, thanks to you,” Renata answered. “Thank you for praying for us and being
