At the airportLilians's POVMy heart beat increased its pace and I could feel that any moment, my heart would just jump out from my chest. So many security measures had been put in place in the airport, my Visa and passport had also been banned so I could only leave the country with my fake visa and passport. I was in the queue and it was my turn to check my thumbprint.It was a new means used to verify if the individual in the passport is actually the person traveling and the security in the airport was enough evidence for me to know that they actually came for me. They were checking mostly the women."Okay ma'am you are clear to go" the lady that was attending to me told me and gave me a big smile as she handed me my passport all thanks to this fake thumb.I was so relieved but the game wasn't over yet, so I submitted my luggage and it was checked. We were informed that the plane would take off in the next 5 minutes."The flight going to UAE, Dubai has been delayed" someone suddenl

For some reason one of the kidnappers who was waiting outside for his partners who were on a mission inside the house refused to run away when he heard the police siren, probably because he thought they were just passing by but before he could make a move it was too late, the police had stopped and caught him.They went inside to get the others while nurses rushed from the ambulance to pick up Melinda in a stretcher. The police didn't really expect to see the kidnappers sitting at a spot just waiting to be arrested. They found the situation really amusing though."So how do we take them to the station with us?" A police officer threw the question randomly at any of the kids to answer."Ask Mia, she is responsible'' a little girl who had been quiet all this while answered."Who is Mia?" The police officer bent down and cupped her little face.She smiled and ran towards Mia who just stood there blinking her eyes as if something fell into them. The officer was walking towards her when Mi

At the orphanageMelinda had finally recovered and returned to the orphanage, the love the kids showed her was just enough to get rid of her sickness. Ever since she declined her mum's request for her to leave the country, her mum had refused to speak to Melinda and at one point she claimed she was no longer her daughter but Melinda didn't let that bother her because she knew she was just angry and like other times, her anger would subside. Mia on the other hand tried to continue her life, she tried to forget about her fear just like Miss Joyce had told her but things only became more challenging for her, she always felt like she was being watched. She felt like someone kept on following her and she couldn't take it anymore. "Leave me alone, get away from me" she covered her ears and screamed at the gate of the orphanage. Hearing her awful screams Melinda rushed out of the orphanage only to find Mia on the floor with her school uniform, she had clearly lost consciousness. Melinda quic

As an autistic child, moving into a new environment was a very big deal for Mia. She wasn't just autistic, she was a teenager and many normal teenagers couldn't handle moving into a new environment, so it was a very big setback for Mia. To crown it all, not even a single person liked Mia in her new environment. She always had to deal with bullying in junior high and now she had to face the same thing in her new school in senior high.After her classmate had tied her hair into a crazy nut she was trying to lose it in the bathroom but had serious trouble doing it."Don't try to get it loose. You look cute this way, next time I think I should just cut your hair " Lakshmi told her as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.Lakshmi was an Indian girl who moved to America to study, her parents had lots of money, they were filthy rich but the only problem that she had was that her family wasn't settled at a place. They always moved from one country to another and she fou

After Mia had saved Lakshmi's life, she couldn't even remember what actually triggered Lakshmi to start behaving that way towards her. Three days later a class was going on when Mia suddenly covered her ears with her hand."What? No! No" Mia kept screaming in the middle of the class. The teacher and all the students paused to look at her. The students who were sitting next to Mia stood up from their seats and moved away from her. She threw her books that were on the table to the floor."Mia are you okay?" Lakshmi, who was the only person that actually cared, quickly began to walk towards Mia."Please don't leave me, please don't leave me" Mia kept on screaming and broke down in tears."Mia no one is going to leave you okay?" Lakshmi comforted Mia. She stood over Mia and made her rest her head on her waist while Mia sat on the chair.Surprisingly to Lakshmi, Mia wrapped her hand around her waist crying uncontrollably. Lakshmi gasped in fear but after some time she hugged Mia's neck gen
