Kapella could be seen carrying Cindy behind her as she ran to the highway.
A taxi almost hit her but was fast to stop abruptly.
"Please help me". She cried and driver got down.
"Ma'am it's dark already". He
She began to sing and her lips trembled with tears forming in her eyes.
The man quickly opened the door and he helped her put Cindy in.
"Queen's Street, Block E23". Kapella announced and got she got in.
He drove off as Kapella put Cindy's head on her lap.
"Are we at the the hospital?". Her lips mumbled.
"No we're headed to your aunt's place".
"Why?".
"We can't go to hospital, it's a bullet case, save your strength Cin, you're gonna be fine".
"Will I?".
"Yes.. Can you drive faster".
"Yes My lady". He said.
As the vehicle moved faster with the evening breeze moving in.
Kapella leaned her head against the seat and closed her eyes as tears flowed down her cheek.
"I killed him, I killed Diaz ". She whispered.

Flashback

" Cindy!". Kapella yelled but she was still unconscious.
He let go of her slowly and she fell to the chair.
Kapella slides out in a bent position just as Diaz raised his gun firing to where she hid.
She had narrowly escaped the bullets because she went low.
She rose up swiftly kicking his crotch up as well.
He groaned and turned the gun to her but she held his hand and bent it causing him to shoot to the ground.
He want to use the other gun but she kicked his stomach.
She headbutt his to the wall but he hit her lip with his gun.
She kicked him off and hid back behind the wall where Cindy was.
Diaz cocked his gun and fired to the wall as he approached it.
Kapella could feel the vibration as the bullets hit the wall.
She couldn't run away because she had to take Cindy and with Diaz coming for her it was impossible.
"The hand, Go for the hand". She whispered to herself as she listened to his step.
She removed the gun she took from the Janitor earlier and held it tightly.
Just as Diaz appeared to shoot she fired bullets into his chest and he dropped down with his gun which fell off.
"Oh my God!". She exclaimed dropping the weapon.
She stoop low to where Cindy was and tied her hand with her previously torn trouser.
She hit her chest causing her to jolt into consciousness.
"Shhh! You'll be fine". She promises ans cleaned the blood on the ground.
She made sure she cleaned everything thoroughly and flushed the cloth in the restroom.
Kapella returned and carried Cindy on her back, she took their bags and went out through the fire exit.
..
..
..
Something suddenly got into her mind and she opened her eyes.
"Stop the car".
"Alright my lady".
"What are you doing?". Cindy said weakly.
"I just remembered one of my ability".
She unbuttoned Cindy's shirt and took off her shirt.
"Are you trying to rape me in my weak state? I always suspected you".
She loosed the cloth and she winced.
"Hypnotization or letting you scream out your lungs". Kapella asked.
"What are you trying to do?".
"I know you'll choose option B, so...". She said and forced her fingers into the wound removing the bullets.
Cindy screamed and bite Kapella like a wounded lion.
Ella held her hand and became to sing with her mouth close to the wound.
"I should have known you're a fvcking vampire". Cindy cried as she hit Kapella furiously in pain.
Fragrance emit from her mouth into the wound and it healed the wound slowly.
Cindy stopped beating her as the pain was slowly disappearing.
Kapella slowly retreated from her and she exhaled.
Cindy checked the wound and it was all healed up without a scar.
"Oh my God!".
She exclaimed in tears and hugged Kapella tightly.
"I thought I was going to die".
"Seriously? You're crazier when you're at the point of death".
"Point of death?, who told you I was going to die". Cindy asked.
"You just did".
"That's right but how did you escape Diaz".
"I think I killed him".

Lovely could be seen pacing left and right in his room.
He took his phone and called Kapella again but it wasn't going through.
He dialed another number and placed it on his ear.
"Frank, get a vehicle ready, I'm moving out ". He said walking out.
He left the building and located a Lamborghini.
The chauffeur bowed as he opened the door for him.
"Did you deliver the package?".
"Yes boss but Kapella Elijah wasn't at home".
"What?".
"Who did you give it to?". He added.
"A little boy, says he's Kapella Elijah's brother".
Lovely's mind flashed back to the boy Kapella stopped from speaking when he dropped her at home the previous day.
"hush! You should have at least told me". He said.
"Sorry boss".
"It's alright let's go". He said and got into the vehicle.
The Chaffeur closed the door and raises his head up to a widow in the mansion.
Dahlia could be seen watching them from there.
Staring at her he nodded before getting into the vehicle.
The Lamborghini arrived at Kapella's home and he alighted as he wore he black coat
He hit the door bell and waited as it rang.
"Steve go get the door". He could hear a woman's voice.
Shortly the door opened and Steve peeped out.
"Hi". He waved but Steve stared blankly at him.
"Hello, I'm Candy". He whispered and Steve made a funny look.
"Are you Ella's boyfriend?". He asked with his baby voice.
"Hey no, not at all, just a friend".
"What are you doing here?".
"Did you give her the package that he delivered?". Lovely asked pointing to the Chaffeur.
"She's didn't return home from school".
"Really?".
"Yes. She must be at her friend's place".
"Cindy. Cindy Petrova". He said.
"You know her?".
"Ella's best friend, I do".
"Goodbye then and if you do see her, tell her to bring my compensation or I'm gonna tell mom she has a rich boyfriend". Steve revealed and slam the door closed.
He scoffed and laughed as he heard the woman's voice ask
"Who was at the door?".
And steve replied.
"No one".
They got into the Lamborghini and it drove off.
It arrived at Cindy's home and he alighted from it.
He moved to the door and hit the bell.
The door opened immediately like it was awaiting his arrival and Francis appeared bare chest with his hand around a girl's neck.
"Who do we have here, an Arrowood". He asked and pecked her.
"Goodnight babe".
She left as he waved.
Lovely turned back to see the girl and back to Francis.
"If you want her I could arrange a meeting".
"Not at all, you're a fresher right? ".
"Yep, so?, well the last time I met with the Arrowood, they beat the crap out of me and broke my phone so what's it this time".
"And if you remember the faces, you'll remember you didn't see this".
"That's right, Candy or Lovely, which is it?".
"it doesn't matter, is Cindy in?". He asked and Francis eyes popped.
"Cindy?". He inquired looking around like he was crazy.
"Cindy!". He called running back into the building.
"Um.. She isn't back yet, from school".
"Do you have any idea where she might be?".
"Alone, She went to a party, With Kapella....". He said and paused.
"Where?".
"I have no idea".
"Damn! She isn't taking her calls so can you wait! Right? ". He asked.
"Are you sure they're returning today?".
"Of course, you can come have your seat?".
Lovely's phone buzzed and he took the call.
"Diaz? What? I spoke to him after school, on my way". He said hurriedly.
"I got to go, something important came up, Make sure you tell them I stopped by ". He said and got into his vehicle.
It drove off speedily and almost immediately a taxi stopped by the house.
Francis raced up to it as Kapella and Cindy got down.
They were now in new dress which wasn't blood stained.
"Seriously you two just missed a big opportunity".
"What do you mean?".
"The Billionaire Heir was here, you two are crazy, how can you stay this long, huh?, you needed to see his Lambo, it was appealing ".
"Lovely?". Kapella asked.
"Yes it was totally lovely". He replied.
"I meant was it Lovely?".
"Yes.. I said yes".
"Was it Candy? ". Cindy asked.
"No, it was lovely how can a vehicle be Candy?".
"C'mon let's go". Kapella said dragging Cindy along.
"Oh yes it's Candy, Lovely Arrowood or Candy, whatever he's called". Francis said and they paused.
He danced to their front and stood akimbo.
"I should have known your burnt boyfriend was a billionaire in disguise, CEO of Phoenix Hotel, Heir of the Arrowood, oh my, why wasn't I a female as beautiful as...". He said wanting to touch Kapella's face but she slapped his hand.
"Well, he came searching for you both, you know I always thought you both were...". Francis said and winked.
"But you're sharing a billionaire boyfriend, that's so incredible".
Cindy pushed him off their way and they entered.
"Seriously I told him to wait and he would have but something important came up, Diaz or what was it again?". He said and they paused pressing toward him.
"Diaz? What did he say?".
"Why did you both suddenly become interested in me?". He asked.
"I didn't hear much but it was something about Diaz".
They scoffed and walked away.
"Did I become ugly again?". He asked and they climbed the stairs up.
"Please don't forget my share in your monthly salary?".
They entered into the room and Kapella flung her bag into the room.
"I warned you not to come along!". She said angrily.
"And if I hadn't showed up, he would have killed you, he had his hand on your neck".
"I would have found a way out and hypnotize him to forget, it took hard time cleaning all your blood, I had to use Mermaid's vision to be sure there was no minute left "
"What if he shot you? He was ready to kill us, he had a gun ".
"Just let me think Cindy". Kapella said running her hand through her hair.
"Fine I'm sorry".
"Don't be that Cindy, I appreciate the fact that you hit Diaz off me but you got hurt".
"Or maybe we should be thinking of the aftermath of this".
"The thing is I don't feel the pain of what I did, i feel like he deserves it".
"Is It a mermaid thing?". Cindy asked and she nodded.
"We hardly feel sorry when we do something bad to someone, we feel like they deserved it".
She sat on the bed.
Cindy sat beside her and put her hand around her shoulder.
"I don't even know what to think".
..
..
..
"Bye!". Kapella waved at Cindy as she left the house.
"Are you sure about this?". Cindy asked.
"I need to think Cindy, a day off school will do, my bracelet is down, so right now it's nothing but mere and with my attitude of getting into trouble on daily basis, I might have to recharge it while I take the necessary days off school ". Kapella explained and she nodded.
" Stay safe ".
" And you too babe".
Cindy got into an awaiting taxi and it drove off as Kapella waved at her.
She got into the house and closed the door.
Shortly the door bell rang and she opened it to see a huge man in black suit and shade.
"My Boss wants to see you". He informed and moved away.
Kapella raised her head and saw a young lady sitting on the bonnet of a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X.
She was on a blue coat with a collar that projected up to her face with her hair well packaged in.
She only had a blue shade on and her lips were painted blue as well.
She jumped down from the vehicle and her Nike Air Mag Back to the Future Sneakers made It noiseless.
Kapella stared at her from head to the toe and her eyes drift from the vehicle.
She catwalks toward Kapella and took off the shades as she smiled.
It was Dahlia.
"Hi".
"Hi".
"You must be Kapella Elijah". She said.
"Yes. Have we met before, you look familiar".
"Not at all, of a truth you're a beauty".
"Thank you um...".
"I'm Dali, may I come in?".
"Sure".
