THROUGH THE SCHEMES OF FATE

WISHING FOR DEATH

The wind blew swiftly behind the window and though Jane could watch the birds fly behind the pure curtains, she could only consider herself as a caged bird that had lost its abilities to feel pain. It is as it had been years since she discovered Sara's other face, but even if it was she, wouldn't be able to tell.

She lay motionless on the hospital size bed, her hair was in a mess, as well as the bed she lay on. The room though filled with disinfactant couldn't hide the pungent smell of waste.

Not long she was a well known scientist, the one who created the serum to solve a relief problem in a remote area. She was known across the world as the youngest scientist, but it wasn't just science and her knowledge of modern medecin that made her what she was. From her grand mother who was a herbalist she learned a lot about herbs and as for the rest she like acupuncture, she had travelled around the world to become an expert.

She had a lot of knowledge when it came to medicine, but she still couldn't use it to save her herself from Sara's entrapment.

The door slowly opened and behind it was her vicious sister, she came again, probably to torture her into revealing the location and code of her private research laboratory. That research laboratory was the only thing she inherritted from her late mother and she had promised her never to reveal its location to anyone, not even her father. Sara even less, so how could she just tell her.

"Good day little sis, I came for you once again. How are you doing today, do you feel like dying?"

'Death?', That was the only thing Jane had been wishing for since Sara abducted and locked her in that room where she been tortured.

"If you want to kill me, don't hesitate."

"Come on Jane, how could you say such things, I'm your big sis, I'm a year older than you and I ought to look after you.", Sara said hypocritically and drew a chair close to the bed where Jane had been lying. She qaan tied, but Sara didn't bother, because the drugs she had been administering her with not only weakened her, but it had made her lost full usage of her legs.

"Such a hypocrite."

"You seem mad at me, Jane, but you shouldn't. I really don't want to hurt you, if only you could tell me the location of your secret laboratory, then I'll inject the antidote in you and you'll be free."

She lied and Jane didn't have to think twice to understand her intentions. Even if she gave Sara what she wanted it wouldn't guarantee her life.Sara was very intelligent and once she had obtained what she wanted she wouldn't hesitate to kill her in order to take her place. The research work in her private laboratory are her years of efforts and that of her mother. It was worth billions if sold, but if completed and exposed to the public, Sara might become a legend.

But Jane knew that Sara wasn't good enough to complete it, but she was probably intelligent enough to make a profit out of it.

"You already took over my private laboratory, do you also want to take over the only one I have."

"You're already in this state, what do you need it for?", Jane chuckled, which made Sara to frown

"At the end you still need me to become somebody. You are worythless without me , Sara!"

"How dare you, do you believe I can kill you?"

"Then go ahead, I look forward to it!"

Jane provoked Sara with hopes that her anger would end this pain that been infliged in her by Sara's poisson. A poisson that kept torturing each day and night.

"You little b***h!"

It worked and Jane could finally smile, smile to rest in peace after suffering so much, perharps she could finally meet her mother.

"You...you definitely live up to your name, Jane Keys, I almost fell for it."

'Almost.!', Jane was disappointed that after all she still failed.

"Hum, you wish you could die, but I won't let you easily die. Today I went home and Mr. Keys was so worried about you that he almost broke down. Of course as a good daughter, I had to comfort him. My dear little sister had been missing for three month now, so of course I'm worried."

'Three months?', it had been three months since her nightmare started but she would have sworn ten years had passed since then because of the endless torture and pain. But it had been just three months and in those three months she wished for death, but what about her father? If she really died one day, what would happen to him.

"Sara, you're a devil."

"Oh come on, I just told you some few things I had done in the past and you already think like that, would happen if you knew the worst?"

'The worst?' Was there any worser crimes that what she had already committed in the past. She feigned her kidney failure and lured the doctor to take hers with hope she died, but she survived. Almost caused her father to be paralyzed and killed the nanny who took care of her after her mother's death.

But what hurt Jane more was that she had been stupid to believe that Edna, her father's first wife was kicked out of the house by her fault. Jane regretted that she never loved Edna and had treated her badly because she believed Edna only covetted her father's wealth. Later on Edna was kicked out of the house accused of comiting adultery with the security guard with whom she had been said to have an affair with.

Later on Delilah was brought it with her help, but little did she know that Delilah was Sara's spy. If she had known all these, she might have changed fate, but perharps it was too late.

"Poor little thing, you're definitely not my match, I made you lost so much. Do you think I could have left anything untouched."

"What do you mean, you even took my kidney and threw it away, what else did you take, certainly not my other organs."

"Hmph, such an i***t, but let me refresh your memory. Did you forget about your fifteenth birthday."

Her fifteenth Birthday, how could she forget about that horrible birthday when she lost her virginity to a rapist. The naked photos of her went on media and no one believed she was drugged and rape, they only believed in what they saw. She left reluctantly with a guy and went wild with him.

If it hadn't been for her father's power and influence she probably wouldn't have been able to survive that period. And even though no one dared speak about that day, her image had been tainted. She didn't now it ended Iike that, but now she could tell why.

"You...it was you..."

"You finally figured it out, how sad it is too late."

Too late indeed, she had already lost everything, she was left with nothing but her tears to cry with.

"You only heard one part of the story, what If I told you that the guy who raped you that day was beloved fiancé...."

It was another shocking blow to Jane, she hadn't even recovered from the pain infliged but Sara was infliging more with her words. Dan ruined her life and she took him as a lover, but it seemed everything was long planned. She was grateful that he saved her life seven years from an accident, but it turned out everything was planned by Sara meticulously.

"Sara you're a devil, how you be so cruel to me, I'm gonna kill you"

"Try if you can and as for now, I'll make you know what is hell."

"Ahhhhhhhh!", there was a loud yelling from Jane as soon as Sara injected her harshly with another poisson she had made. The pain was atrocious and could make one wish for death even if it meant being stabbed numerous times.

Jane hoped she could just die from that pain, but even if she died, she vowed to hunt Sara and Dan even as a ghost.
