Masked Innocence

4. Gia

"So whats your purpose this time?"

Savannah who was drinking water choked on her father's question.

Cough cough

"Haha father what are you talking about? What purpose?"

Her confused voice and expression could convince anyone but not her father.

Fixing her with a hard glare

"Anna I want the truth"

Gulp busted! What should i do now what should i say aghhhhhhh....I'm done

Mr.Hudson and everyone close to her mostly called her Anna.

After having a small mental talk she said

"Dad what could there be? There is noth....."

"Savannah" her dad interrupted her

Her dad was dead serious this time. Because he only called her full name when he is serious.

"Gia" a small voice was heard after a while. Savannah was sitting with her head down.

They were having dinner.There was pin drop silence in the kitchen.

After releasing a helpless and sigh

"Anna, dear that case was closed why do you always go after it hmm?"

"I know her she would have never done that no matter what dad you have to believe me i will prove that.." anna was determined.

"What? What will you prove? We didn't get any evidence besides the cctv was.." hudson tried to sway his daughter from this path.

"They killed her they pushed her to her wits end you know that, besides what was her medical report did you see that, even i did not believe that, father I will never leave them you"

One of the most frightening thing about savannah was that she will never back down or lay low when someone has hurt her or her loved ones even if it costs her life.

"Who will you not leave?" Hudson asked

"You tell me who are they?" Anna questioned back.

Anna eyes were shining with fire she swore that she will never leave them. After a short staring contest anna left for her room.

Anna went to her room the voice she heard that day was still clear in her mind whenever she went to visit her that voice will come after her.

Anna laid flat on her front in bed her eyes staring at nothing in particular her eyes were glossy.

After a while she sat up and called a familiar number after a few rings the call was picked

"Yes this is sera speaking"

"Sis its me" anna replied

"Hmm so what happened this time?"sera replied as it was a normal routine.

"Why do you always think that something happened thats why I called you?"

"Isn't it like this" sera replied nonchalantly.

Hah

"I got admission in Aspirelite...."

The sinister laughter from other side of the phone cutted her

"That's my girl now I think your chances of promotions are very high" one could already see that evil look in her eyes.

My free days are over

"I'm going there for Gia" anna added

The other side went silent

1 minute passed

2 minutes passed

Anna looked at her phone to see if it was still connected.

"What other options do you have?" Sera asked

Confused, anna said "what options?"

"Other school options"

"NOTHING" anna replied without waiting for a second.

"What you think is easy the reality is totally opposite if you fell knee deep in there, there is no way you will come out of it unscathed we couldn't do anything so what can you do?"

Sera was a young police officer working in london for almost 5 years know and was older than savannah by 8 years.

But there friendship and sister hood with each other was stronger than any other relation, except her dad of course.

These two people were her closest family .

"What you couldn't do?"

"Then do it by you yourself" and the line dead.

Sigh damn women , arrogant, just you wait i will prove all of you wrong

After refreshing and changing into her night dress.

Savannah was standing in her balcony her left shoulder supported by the wall.

The night sky was beautiful the cold air caused goosebumps on her skin as she was only wearing her ankle length simple white nightdress, Her light brown almost waist length slightly curly hair were open her small face and milky white skin only added to her beauty. Her big brown eyes were like shining beads small nose and small plump lips made her only more beautiful , as the wind blows her hair and dress also moves, she looked like an angel.

Trrrr

Her hand immediately went to her stomach she only ate half plate of rice at dinner according to her appetite it was as if she didn't ate anything.

Sigh, I'm hungry

She went to her bed and called sis sera which sera picked up in a second and the first words she spoke was

"Did you change your school?"

Anna rolled her eyes and replied

"No, i just wanted to know more about my promotion."

Sera sighed and said

"Fine i will tell you the details later bye"

"Bye"

Knock knock

Hudson entered with a tray in his hands savannah was sitting on her bed.

He put the tray on the bed and sat down next to her his whole demeanor was showing helplessness but there was an indulgent smile and gentle look in his eyes.

"Anna you know when you were young your mother's and my only concern was that you stay safe and healthy I can't see anything happening to you child you're my only family and my dear cute little daughter you haven't even grown yet" her dad said as he side hugged her.

"I'm not little I'm 5foot 4 inches long" anna's muffled voice came out as one side of her face was pressed against her fathers shoulder.

"Hahahah fine, fine now you can have your dinner your little tummy can't accept going on a hunger strike" Mr.hudson said.

Anna nodded already digging in the plate of rice.

Mr. Hudson was a man in his early forties working as a manager in a small security company before he was a detective in police. He maintained himself well so he only looked between late thirties and early forties, black hair and black eyes, fair colour he was a good man.

After savannah has finished eating she was about to take the plate downstairs when Mr. Hudson stopped her and give her a bag.

"What's this dad?" Anna asked while opening the bag,seeing that her father gifted her new uniform she was very excited and hugged her dad who didn't even get a chance to say anything.

"Wow, I love you dad its so good thank you soo much, should i try it right know is it my size what if it didn't fit me in the morning i should tr....."

And here goes her non stop talking oh lord save my ears

The night went by earlier than expected with savannah's excitement.

They were a small,happy, average family. Living there life peacefully.

But who would have known that this peaceful life will be destroyed.
