A Longing

"You know what mom! When I walked in, they were there like hand in hand" Meesha laughed telling her mother about the dinner party on the call. Sara gestured shut up to Meesha but Meesha continued taking pleasure in telling her mother about Sara "Can you imagine Sara falling in love " Sara was always very quiet. When Meesha talked to her mother because she wished to have somebody to share everything with as Meesha does with her mother. When Meesha hung up she noticed Sara who was sitting in a corner in a very low mood "are you okay? She asked Sara nodded with a distanced smile. "you miss your mother, right? Then why don't you talk to her?" Meesha went towards Sara and placed her hand on Sara's shoulder. "you know that I can't, She is no longer my mother. And I don't want a mother who dumped her daughter in an orphanage. She got up from the bed "some people are simply not made for love, fate plays hide and seek with us, it shows us relations from far away and says proudly 'come get them and they are yours'" she said with a sarcastic sad smirk. Sara left the room and Meesha was silent. Then she suddenly thought of something and grabbed Sara's phone hurriedly. She started to search for a contact and copied it into her phone. Sara came back for her phone shortly "have you seen my cell phone!" Sara asked while exploring the room. "maybe it's under the pillow" Meesha said while painting her nails. Sara took the phone and glanced doubtfully at Meesha. "I didn't do anything," Meesha said shredding her shoulders "you better not," Sara said while leaving the room again. Meesha took a deep breath and remembered the incident when she called one of Sara's friends and convinced him that Sara loved him and he coldly rejected Sara on the face while others made fun of her. She shook her head in horror "No, no it won't happen again" and she went back to her nails.

"You know you cannot be weak in front of him," Lucas told Catherine coming forward when Jack left the place. Catherine closed her eyes tight once and took a deep breath then she turned to face Lucas "I faced him after so many years, I had to clear some of his resentment toward me and toward all of us" she said in a composed manner opposite of her broken self a while ago. "he is angry but he will come around I know, his father was also like this" she explained to Lucas. "we need him and you know it more than anybody else, if he does anything stupid then we all will face the consequences" Lucas showed his concern "he is my son, I know he will come around" Catherine was angry on Lucas for accusing her child "let him be for some time" she added. Catherine's decision of living with a common man was not appreciated by the community although Mason helped them in everything he could but still he was just a common man to them. Now they did not trust Jack completely because he had his father's genes. Lucas and Catherine were leading the community now because of the loss of the previous leaders. The Illuminators did not grow old. They were fast in growth till their fully blossomed youth and then their growth seemed to stop. They only increased their energies after that and they died because of losing their powers to heal. All other powers are associated with this power and the more they used their healing power, the more it grew. After they lost their connection and trust with humans, it was difficult to practice their power. They went to cities separately and tried to practice their power in the field of medicine but because of a few incidents where they were about to get caught by people, they left the idea and came back here. They need to rebuild their connection with humans but to do so they need to fight their evil side first.
