"Bella There are set to leave Dad'' announced as I sprang up from the Golden chair and walked towards them.

" Hope you are getting prepared dear'', One of the men asked with a sweet smile on his aging face.

"Yes she is, Dad answered patting my shoulders in the process.

I wonder why he is showing so much care in front of the visitors and what did he mean by that?. I strolled back to my classic but lonely room, lonely yeah!. That is what I actually felt in my life. I took a seat in the large sized bed and let my eyes wander to my desk littered with my closest pals, my books and the picture of my mom.

My mom, I actually do miss her and Dad doesn't mention her, apparently he doesn't have time. I craved for him at an early age but I know better now.

"Sir sends for you '', One of the servant said.

On getting to the sitting room, Dad sat on his favorite chair, an expressionless look on his face.

" You called me father''.

"Seat''

" I like you to begin your training soon, '' he said in a calm tone.

" Training '' she echoed '' I want to go to college dad''.

" You need the training to protect yourself, I won't always be there for you''.

" I don't want, She pressed "I can take care of myself and this isn't the civil war I will be fine.

" And you still hold your pillow ''.

"The room is too big '' She protested.

" The world is too big, you need training ''

"This isn't a question of what you want and moreover I have seen to it that your feeding and accommodation is well taken care of, Anything else he asked.

Forcing a light laugh " It is always taken care of and before she got consumed in her sadness she escaped to her room.

" Morning, I murmured to my father as I joined him for breakfast.

" Hope you had a good night sleep ''

" The very best I replied with a fake smile ''.l

Stop that this instant he pointed to my fingers twinning the fork which was clearly irritating him.

" What '' she feigned innocence.

" Raising his brown slightly, I want you to go with your driver to the camp and ensure that everything reserved for you is perfect.

" Do I have to '' She murmured.

"What was that ''

" I said she hesitated then added " Do I have to go today?.

" Why, Do you have a husband to attend to he sneered ''.

The girl kept quiet and munched on.

"I guess not prepare and you must be home before I ''.

I arrived at the camp and I saw the lemon green walls, the bright and spacious room plus the chattering room attendant who told me how lucky I am for having such a wonderful father. Yeah the wonderful that won't spend time with his daughter. If this was the world's definition of wonderful then count me out of it. The rules and regulations of the camp were so stupid, I wasn't allowed to bring my phone and tons of punishment berated on those reluctant to carry out duties, as if it couldn't get worse I will be staying there for 5 years.

"Daniel calm down, you are going to be fine the blonde older lady said softly watching me match up and down the room.

" Calm what Mom , I am going to be away for 5 freaking years doing what God knows, training for what kind of nonsense.

"I know you are upset but you will come around soon, It isn't so bad.See it like your destiny it is unavoidable.

Destiny

yells

I refuse to follow that destiny Mum, so this is the reason dad told me not to accept that admission.

Looks into outer space

Uncle Chris has something to do with this right?

The woman's small ear pricked up and that didn't go unnoticed.

"Mom, Why does he stick his nose in our affairs.

" Mind your language young man Dad thundered closing the front door and came towards the sitting room.

"You will go to the camp, you will be trained to be a kandroen and that's final.

" No I replied to the incredulity of my father. "Am legal already and can make decisions for myself.

" Daniel, what is wrong with you, that's your father Mom whined.

"Take it he barked he handed me an envelope you will be leaving in 3 days time leaving both Mother and son shocked.

" Room 281B I read bitterly.

°°Bella

Room 281A, I spat in anger as I repeated it for the 3rd time.

"What's all that for ''.

" Nothing father I replied nonchantly.

I hope your things are well packed, it's in 2 days time , do you need money or anything?

Why are you in so much haste to send me away?. I have always been a good daughter, good grades but you never seat and talk with me, Are you ashamed of me father?. The young girl sobbed and perhaps the reason she didn't notice the softening of the older man's features before it disappeared in a while.

"Listen I have walked hard to make sure you have everything and I did that on own. Don't ever forget that.

" Money, Money, Money that's all that matters I sobbed as the retreating figure closed the door.

The days flew fast and the d day arrived, the scorching sun was at its peak showing no mercy to the helpless occupants of the Earth. The continual wipping of the face didn't go unnoticed, as people marched into the large camp ground with remarkable structures.

This didn't seem to hinder the 2 wandering eyes, there left the premises in 2 different routes.

Sir, there is a problem the slim hairy man said with slight hesitantion "Two of the students are missing ''.

" What's the room number he asked hitting the table with a force that cause the younger man to shudder.

"Room 281A and B.
