Sophia walked over to the kitchen, it was her last day here, she'll be leaving at night back for Canada. Yes, she should be really excited to go back home but the truth was she did not want to go back.

After so many years, almost her entire life she had one day all to herself and she enjoyed it to her fullest. But the only thing that made her go back was her daughter who needed her.

"All pack to go?" Maria smiled at her as she entered the room with a small basket. "This is a small token of love from all of us here" She handed Sophia a golden box, which was beautiful. Sophia looked at Maria with awe, this was such a sweet gesture. No one ever gave her such gifts, it was always the other way around.

"Thank you. Do you mind if I open this?" Sophia asked like a child and Maria nodded,"Go ahead. I hope you like it"

Sophia was sure she would love it, her first ever homely gift and she was sure it would make her happy even if it was an avocado.
She unwrapped the packing and it revealed a beautiful box inside. "Wow.." She whispered. Slowly, like a child, she tilted her head to a side and pulled the cover of the box with one hand while the other held the box.

"Oh my god.." Sophia gasped.

"Do you like it dear?"

"Maria, wow-I mean thank you but how? This is the exact same peice i say yesterday and it was so expensive but i did not buy it otherwise i wouldn't be able to buy my friends anything. But, this is so expensive, how did you? Why did you?"

"Well lets just say it was a contribution of the whole household. We have a good pay so don't worry it wasn't very expensive for us" She smiled but not whole heartedly.

"Maria you sure? I can really pay you if you want. This was so expensive.." Sophia looked back at the diamond ring, it was so beautiful, but yet so expensive even for her. How could they all afford it? She feared that this ring would have taken a very large amount of their pay, she did not want that at any cost.

"Oh don't worry Sophia. We all got it covered pretty well. I promise, now go get dressed. Conner told me to inform you that you both going to meet Conner's Nana while on your way back"

Sophia looked at her shocked,"Why would he take me? I mean he could go meet his family I am not really interested" She frowned.

But in reality she just wanted to avoid him at any cost. She had downloaded games on her laptop just so she could ignore him on their flight back.

"Oh come on, you'll love her. Go with him!"

"Maria I don't want to"

"Please. For me?" Maria whined like a kid and Sophia groaned.

"Okay fine! I'll go, I just hope she's not like him" Sophia groaned as she zipped up her bag.

"Oh you'll find out."

"Thank you for coming" Conner thanked Sophia as the got out of the car but Sophia chose to walked ahead and ignore him. She had been ignoring him since morning when he greeted her, when he asked her if she would want some water or if she was comfortable, when he offered her some home made chocolates which Maria baked, she just refused to talk. He was irritated, what did he do so wrong that she would not even look at him.

On the other side Sophia was astonished. How was this cold wall being so sweet to her? How?

"We're here" Their driver Santos informed them as the car entered through a large metal gate, with atleast 5 beast of a man standing on each side. Sophia looked at them wide eyed, did they eat humans in their diet?
