Sharing the burden with Calista
Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

I looked at the unyielding Calista who was ready to call me out on any lie that was going through my mind and realized that it's time to face the music.
"I am sorry, Cali. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know where to start. I feared that you will blame me, and I still do…"
"Skip the crap!", Calista cut me off impatiently. "Where is he?"
Oh, God! How do I go about this?
Do I need to tell her everything?
What if she hates me?
Seeing that Calista had no intention of letting me wiggle out of this, I caved in.
To be honest, I was tired of carrying the weight of this secret that was getting heavier by the day.
Yes, there was Krob, but he was stuck in the lab, and he didn't need to face the world with a lie how my father went on some expedition deep in the jungle and I have no way of contacting him or knowing when he will be back.
