Pen Pals
Callie's POV
The shouts banging and laugher could be heard from my tiny room, Hell what do I mean room its a cell. White and grey with the ever looming steel bars to remind you that you will never leave or if you did this place will forever be burnt into your brain.
I reach up to rub at the black eye that was now faded away...mostly. I was the victim of a yard attack only a few days ago and spent only two days in the infirmary with what they thought was broken ribs. I knew I wouldnt stay broken too long. I never do but the hack doctors here didn't care one way or the other if you live of die, so I was sent back to my now single cell alone. I never questioned my gift I just knew I have it.
So here I was all alone sitting at my desk looking down at a blank sheet of paper, my counselor thought in order for me to be more social thought it would be a better idea for me to socialize with someone outside the Prison since no one here seems to like me. I dont know why I'm a nice person. But I'm left in the Pen Pal program where I knew nothing about the other person other then shes a woman about my age.
"Lets get thes over with." I say to myself
Arizona
I don't know how to do all this so I will start by saying my name is Callie Torres, and I was told to write you. We dont get much of a choice in what we do in here as you know. So lets get down to it. I'm in here because I beat a guy up pretty bad and my so called friends turned on me. All of them saying it was planned. But Im not looking for sympathy or someone to feel bad for me. I'm just keeping it real and being truthful. That's all i can do in here. That and read. I hate when people lie. Anyway thats that. If you read and write back thats good, If you dont thats fine too no big deal.
Callie
I was putting the letter in the envelope when my counselor walked into my cel
"Looks like your done. I'll take a look at that before popping in the mail." She says
"Kim, I'm the last person that you have to worry about." I say letting out a sigh.
"Callie you know that this is a new program, and if it works out with the five of you you will get to mail it off yourself."
I don't think I will get an answer, but if it got Kim off my back then thats fine.
"Whatever just don't make me your star student." I say turning back to my desk to pick out a new book that I was able to get from the book cart.
"I promise I wont, and trust me you will get an answer." Kim says
Arizona's POV
I was so wrapped up in looking at the blood samples that I didn't hear the knock on the door until it was too late Addison had let herself in.
"You know you have a letter from Washington Corrections Center of Women." She says looking the envelope over.
"Yes. I was waiting for that." I say waving her over.
The blood sample I was looking over under the microscope were perfect as well as the DNA I had just finished watching regenerate before my very eyes.
"Addison have you ever seen something so perfect that you think your crazy?" I ask putting the DNA slide back in
"No.. not yet." She says
I pull her over to the Microscope.
"Take a look at this." I say before taking my mail from her
I ripped it open and took out the letter before reading it. This Callie Torres didn't have much faith in humans. So I grabbed a pad of paper, and started to write her back as Addison tried to understand what she was looking at.
Callie
I dont know who you have writen to or even talked to, but I always read and write back any letter I may get. I hate when people lie to it says a lot about humans when they have nothing better to do then lie to you. I'm sorry that your so called friends turned there backs on you, and I'm sorry that you had to beat up that guy for what ever reason. I don't feel bad for you. Why would you think I would? Reading is a good way to pass time. I love to read. Tell Me some of the books you have read. I have a ton of books that I plan on reading once I get time off work which isn't hard because I have my own lab, I'm a Scientist. I'm not going to bore you with the details, but I think it's fun. I have to get back to work, and just so you know..I enjoyed writing this letter.
Arizona
I looked up at Addison. Who was rubbing her head looking at me.
"Where did you find this? This is amazing, Is it human?" She asked
"Oh its human, but not human." I say
"What do you mean it's human and its not?"Addison says
"I mean it came from a human, but the human isn't human at all."
She looked at me like I had lost my mind.
"Look when I saw this I thought I had lost my mind. The information I recived with the samples said human. I've been at this for a month all the while looking for someone that could help me." I say
"And did you find someone?"
"Yes, her name is Doctor Lauren Lewis Dennis. She's from Canada, and we have been corresponding over the phone and video chat about this case."
"What did she say?" Addison asked as she followed me to the kitchen
"I leave to meet with her tomorrow ."
"You're going to Canada?" She asked
"Yes. I will be back by Monday."
"But it's Tuesday."Addison says
I look at her with my best homeless kitten eyes, because I know where this conversation is going.
"You want me to watch the lab...I hate watching the lab."
"Addison.. You're a partner at this lab. Why is it so hard for you to be the boss?" I ask
"Its not. I just don't want to." She say popping a grape into her mouth.
"Well you have to now. So suck it up." I say
Why do I do this? I know I hate to fly, but I'm always going places that require me to get on a plane. The only good thing about this is that we are landing, and it didnt take as long as I thought to get here.
Since I have biohazard I got to take a privet plane sent by Dr. Lewis herself, and I have to say it wasn't a bad looking plane. Why it was painted all black I dont know, and I'm not going to ask why.
I jump a little when we touch down, and watch as we taxi up to a yellow Camaro with a rather good looking woman standing beside it.
"Wow." I say looking out the window at her like an idiot.
"Miss Robbins you are free to move about the cabin." the pilot says.
I stand and grab the cooler, and my suitcase. I head out the door. The woman who was standing by the car was now standing at the foot of the stairs with a big smile.
"Dr. Robbins nice to meet you, my wife Dr. Lewis Dennis sent me to pick you up. I'm Bo." She says taking my bag
A mental Aww went through my head as I followed her to the car.
"Welcome to Canada, I hope you don't mind bunking with us the hotel that you told Lauren you were staying at had a little fire, and everything is flooded." She said,
"Thats fine as long as I'm no bother or an inconvenience of any kind."
"Trust me your not." She says, smiling over at me.
We pass the time with small talk about the trip, and she asked if I was hungry. And I was, I was very hungry but it wasn't for food. The second I laid eyes on this woman my sex drive came roaring back to life.
"I could use a hamburger and fries after that flight." I say.
I always covered my sexual hunger with food, and if I don't start seeing this woman as anything but sex on heels I'm going to gain weight while I'm here.. a lot of weight.
"Funny you should say that because Lauren is at my grandfathers pub for lunch. We can stop there and you two can talk over his famous bugers and fries." Bo says with a big smile.
Callie's POV
I made it through my shower without any problems,and I was glad. hell I was glad to be alone in there for a change. Rule one keep your eyes and hands to yourself. Something most if not all of the women don't understand. Rule two even if this is an all woman's prison.. Never drop anything in there. Objects have a way of finding its way into things. Its never happened to me, but I have seen it happen and its not pretty.
When I reached my cell it was an hour til lights out, and it gave me another reason to be glad. I was tired and needed sleep. When I stepped inside I stoped dead in my tracks. There was a package laying on my bed unopened, and I knew it had to be from Kim. She had to have just left it. If it had been sitting there any longer one of the other inmates would have gotten to it, and used it to get something out of me. Be it money or try to get me to mail something out for them. I dont get my mail opened because I have never given them reason to think I would try anything stupid. In return that is the one of the privileges I get.
Moving deeper into my cell I put my things away before grabbing the package and looking at the name on the top.
"Arizona Robbins...that's a nice name." I say before ripping into it.
Flipping it over a book and letter fell out into my hand. I flipped the book over to look at the front.
"Into the Forest, I haven't read that one." I say looking at the book.
Putting the book down.. I open the letter and start to read.
"A scientist, huh? that's new. Ive talked to a lot of people, but never a scientist."
I look out the door of my cell, and look at the clock on the wall. It wasn't long before lights out, so there was no point in starting my letter now. It would just give me something to do tomorrow.
As always breakfast was less to be desired, and after we were out in the yard where I sat at a table alone with my new book.
"Hey Torres you wanna play some Cards?" an inmate asked
"No, I'm fine." I say
I didn't even smile, smiling ment you were happy, and happy ment you were going to get your ass kicked. I would rather not put another woman into the hospital. I like my new pen pal program, and I didn't want that taken away.
So I went back to reading.
I was 5 chapters in when there was a commotion across the yard. Dog earing my page I closed my book, and put it into my jacket pocket. As it got louder the group got bigger, and an alarm went off. I laid down on the ground with my hands out like all the other women that had nothing to do with what was going on.
Sadly this meant the whole pod was going on lock down, and that ment no one went anywhere. That didn't matter to me. I really didn't care for being outside in the cold... it never bothered me anyway.
After my pat down I was sent right to my cell where the door was slammed shut. I let out a sigh, and moved over to my bed to finish my chapter before writing my letter.
Arizona
Let me start by saying thanks for the book. I havenT gotten a chance to read more than five chapters, but so far I am enjoying it. This letter will reach you late because someone thought it would be nice to start a fight on the yard so we are on lock down. That means nothing in or out for how ever long they want to keep us locked down. A scientist thats new to me. I never talked to one let alone seen one. I'm not saying that you are like your a unicorn... Well to me you are.
Callie
I folded the paper and put it to the side so I could address the envelope before slowly packing the letter and closing it. I looked at it for a long moment before setting it to the side for Kim to pick it up when ever they let her in.
Part two
Arizona's POV
I tried my best to keep my eyes off Bo and off of Lauren but this was all a bit much.
"You ok?" Lauren ask
"Um I don't know things..."
"Arizona I understand what you are feeling and I will tell you all about it just give me a minute." Lauren says before walking away.
I wasn't understanding what was going on, and it was starting to scare me just a little. I started to put things away as I thought about what could be going on with me.
"Ok here is something I think you should look at." She says coming back into the room with a large book.
"Whats that?" I ask
"Arizona what you are feeling is pure lust. Something I can help you with."
She took out what look like a syringe.
"Whoa hey hey hey hey." I say backing up.
"You have to trust me Arizona Im not going to do anything to hurt you. This is only to control your sexual cravings."she said
I stood looking at her for a moment... I have been here for days if they wanted to hurt me they could have. I mean they could have left me in the hands of that vampier when I froze was after they told me about the fae, and all different kinds.
"What is it?" I ask.
"When you gave me that blood sample I noticed that you have the same DNA as Bo."
"What the hell does that mean?" I ask holding out my arm for her to give me the shot.
"That means two things Arizona."
She looked at me like she didnt want to tell me what she had to say.
"What is it? There is nothing you can tell me that will make me flip out. I mean come on you just showed me a whole new race of people that I never knew about, that now no one knows about. So what is it?" I say
"You are related to Bo." Lauren says
"Say what?"
"You are related to Bo, come look."
Lauren moved over to the lab table and hitting a few buttons on the computer.
"This is your DNA on the left side and this is Bo's on the right. Now I dont have to tell you the rest." Lauren says
I move over an look at the two, and could clearly see the genetic markers that matched. Everything started to spin and the next thing I know Im laying on the couch looking up at Bo.
"Lauren she's awake." Bo says
I slowly sit look around then back at Bo. Who had a worried look on her face. I ran my hands through my hair and put my legs over the side of the couch.
"What just happened?" I asked
"You passed out." Lauren says walking over
"Oh...Why?"
"I didn't think the thought of me being someones sister would lead to passing out." Bo says.
I started to feel like I was going to vomit a few days ago I was drooling over a woman I didn't know to now find out that said woman is my sister.
"Oh I'm going to lose my lunch." I say
"This should stop that." Lauren says giving me another shot.
The urge to vomit passed and Lauren sat next to Bo on the table in front of me.
"Arizona your going to be ok. When you met Bo your Succubus kicked in. It wasn't your fault you didnt know. Now that you do its a natural reaction that you are having, but there is one issue that I am not understanding."
"What's that?" Bo asked
"How are you getting along, succubus are hardly in the same place and when they are they dont get along well." She says
"Baby you know I get along with everyone. Its everyone that doesn't get along with me."Bo says with a smile.
"OK just a question...What are you Lauren?" I ask looking at her.
She had to be something other than human the way Bo took her whatever after that fight with the vampire would have killed her if she was human,or so I'm told.
"I am a elemental nymph. I can control all the elements of nature." She says
"No I saw you fight you're more than that." I say runing my hand through my hair.
"If I am I dont know about it."
All this was too much to take in. I didn't want to hear any more, but like a good book i couldn't leave it alone. All my life I have been living without thought or knowledge of who I was. Then it hit me, where the hell was I from.
"Then who's my mother and Father?" I ask.
"Well I have had the time to look at both you and Bo's DNA, and Be it that you are twin sisters then naturally you will have the same mother."Lauren said looking over at Bo.
"Our mothers name is Aife and as for Daddy I have yet to find that out."Bo says
"Wait?! you said twins?"
I looked at Bo.
"Your fraternal twins. One light and one dark. You two can make a lot of mischief together, and bring about a change in the fae world. That's why we seem to run right into trouble. Two succubus together is abnormal and two sisters even more so, But given you and Bo's bloodline if you wanted you could bring hell down on the fae would or heaven... Which ever one you pick." Lauren says
"I didn't pick anything!"
"No one said you did... what she means is thats why we have been getting into trouble together." Bo said standing
Yes trouble.. I have never been in so much trouble in my life. Bo and I make trouble everywhere we go.. went play fighting braking thing and all around finding more trouble than we could in her soft speoken voice yelled at us more then I can count, and I didnt really understand why.
"Your succubus knew who Bo was when you saw her. You grew up faster then any succubus has ever done. Your attraction to Bo wasn't to her it was to me, but it was hard for you to tell the difference because you don't know how to control it."
Lauren went over to the door and let in Kinzie,Dyson, and Hale. Three people that I come to like as very good friends. Kenzie ever the booze hound went over to the wine that was sitting on the table.
"Give it a try let you succubus pick out who you are attracted to." Bo said.
Dyson puffed up his chest and Hale looked like he was shy. I stood up and looked around then I turned right to Kinzie.
"Who no no no Not me."
"Well out of the three you are the one that I'm atratted to.. out of four its Lauren." I say looking at her with a shy look.
"I'm starting to think nymphs are magnets for Succubus."Bo says laughing
"She's pretty." I say looking at Bo.
"Do you even like Dudes?" Kinzie asked
"No." I say
"Ok back to why I came here."I grunt
"Yes the blood samples.. well I did my research, and this Callie Torres is in fact a fae." Lauren says moving over to the deck to pick up a shet of paper.
"Well what kind?" I ask
"Shes two Fae in one... A Siren who can kill, control, and alleviates pain just by whistling, And a Gemini.
"What can she do?" I say
"There isn't much known about the Gemini. I think Hale dated one." Bo said looking over at him.
"I did... She had the power to duplicate herself, but thats all I know." He says
"Right, and since Callie's cells keep duplicating themselves then it looks like Callie is able to do the same."Lauren says.
"Could this be the reasoning behind her fast healing?" I ask
"It could be... We just don't know." Lauren said.
Callie's POV
"Callie I have some news for you." Kim said walking into my cell
I turned from my desk to look at her. it would be to too much to ask her to knock.
"What is the news?" I asked, putting my book down.
"I sent a visitors form to Arizona, and she said she would come see you this weekend." she said
"Kim... Why did you do that?"
Because you have been talking to each other of the past 3 months, and its time for you to take the next step."She says
"But what if I don't want to see her?" I say
"Stop being a baby Callie, and suck it up. You have less then two months before you go before the parole board. You need someone that will stand up for you. Your parents don't care outside of making sure you have money in your account, and you have no one outside of this place.. You need some one."Kim says sitting down on my bed.
"What can Arizona do for me? I mean why would anyone want to do anything for me?" I ask
"Look I dont know what she says to you in those letters, but whatever it is she has made you happy. You don't show it, and I know why, but I know I was in your shoes before and thats how I met my husband. You can't tell me that you don't feel anything for Arizona." She says before getting up and walking out my cell.
She was right I do feel something for Arizona and if I was correct she felt something for me, or her words did anyway. I turned to my desk and pulled out the last letter. and read it over again.
Callie
I'm sure you are beautiful no matter wat you look like on the outside. your soul is what attracts me to way your letters caress the page as if you are touching my skin leaves me begging for you next letter. Knowing I have to wait a full week to hear from you kills me. Please let me see you if only once. I have to see are so many things I want to say, but most of all I just want to touch you.
Arizona
"Fuck me."
I put the letter back in the book that I held all my letters in the note book that held all my letters from Arizona and put it back between my books. I would get one book a week from Arizona, and I would carefully read them all in a weeks time. You could tell where our rlationship was going by the types of books she would send me.
"What am I going to do ?" I ask myself
It was finally Saturday and I sat in a room with other inmates waiting for my name to be called. My leg bounced up and down as I bit at my nails, I didnt even know what she looked like how was I going to find her?
" finally got yourself a visitor Huh Torres?" someone asked.
I didn't get a chance to answer because my name was called and I stood rubbing my hand on my paints before walking out the door. when I walked out the door I was pointed to a table where a blonde was sitting alone watching the door. When we locked eyes I just knew it was her and she stood.
She had the most amazing blue eyes that matched the blue shirt she was wearing. Her blonde hair looked like gold colored silk pouring down her back and shoulders. Her jeans hugged her in all the right places kick starting my sexual drive, and all I wanted to do was run over to her and kiss I took my time. the last thing I needed was a fight on the yard, because word got back to the others that I was too happy.
"Look at you." Arizona says when I reach her.
"I'm no prize to look at." I say as we sit down
Arizonas hands slowly moved across the table to gently touch mine, and I felt the joy fill my other wise cold and grey heart. Her hands are soft and smooth like she had bathed them in honey and milk. I watch as my fingers work their way up her arm to see if her skin was just as soft, and from what I could feel it was.
"Why did you come to this place? you're to pretty for this place." I say
"Because the letters weren't enough anymore. I had to see you to touch you for myself."
She played with my fingers letting them run over hers and over her palms.
"There is something I have to tell you, but its personal."
"There isnt another person is there?" I ask
"No its just me dont worry. This has to do with you, and the blood that you gave Dr. Montgomery." Arizona says.
"I'm not dying am I?"
"No. You're very healthy, there are things that you wouldn't believe if I didnt show you. So you have to get out of her." She says
"Arizona I beat a man to an inch of his life. I should be in here." I say
"You were protecting yourself...I read your file...I know. You'd rather sit in here while he is free to try and rape another woman? Callie you did your time. Now its time to come out, and see what the world is about. To see what I have to offer you."She says
"You want a...You want me in your life?"
"I thought my letters told you that?"
Now that im closer to her her eyes take on this elictric blue color and I am captivated by what I see.
"Callie there is nothing I want more then to be with you, you are well read and educated... Ive spent three months getting to know a woman that wants nothing more than to be free. Come be free with me." Arizona says
That's all I really needed to hear, to hear that there was someone out there that wanted me and believed in me. So what? I cant be a Doctor or a Cop I could still be someone.
"Ok."
"OK?"
"Yes ok, I just wanted to know that I am wanted."
"You are very much wanted Callie, and while its way too soon for us to jump into the same house, we can do things like date and talk and really get to know each other." Arizona said
I was about to open up and say something when the bell rung telling everyone to wrap it up.
"Will you stand up for me at my parole hearing?"
"You can't stop me." She says as the second bell rung and the gaurds started walking through to get everyone to leave. I caught a glimps of other peoplekissing there boyfirends and husbands and I took the biggest chance that I have ever taken in this place.
I reached out with both hands and grabbed Arizona's face and pulled her into a kiss. It was short but strong and I will be taking a trip to the infirmary later because of A fight i will not fight back in, but it was worth it.
"Lets go Torres." One of the nicer gaurds says stopping next to us. I let go of Arizona and started to walk away everything in me wanted to cry but I knew that was an even bigger sign of weakness. I turned back to get one last glance of Arizona before the door closed behind me.
Arizona's POV
I looked around the studio apartment one last time. It was nicely furnished with the help of Addison,who picked out the large four posted bed, the rest of the place was left to me. I didn't want to overwheim Callie with too much so I got her a nice couch with a matching coffee table. I also got her a nice sized TV with internet capabilities so she could watch Netflix and a Playstation 4 to cover everything.
The rest of the place was furnished nicely with all the things she'd need, but I just knew the first thing she was going to do was take a hot bath in the clawfoot tub and go to sleep on the bed with its temperpedic mattress.
Letting out a happy sigh I made sure the bathroom was ready for her before leaving and locking the door behind me.I bought the place the monday after meeting Callie and hearing her say she wanted to come out and be fee. I wanted something with as litte walls as possable, Callie has spent the past 3 years in a single 6 by 8 foot room, I didnt want her to feel confined.
When I got in my car to make my way over to her parole hearing I brefly woundered if she knew how to drive. The drive to the Court house was long and full of red lightsbut due to my need to be on time and many years of traning I left in plenty of time to get there, with 15minute to spare.
"So glad to see you ." Kim says after coming out a room.
"Where is Callie?" I asked
"She's waiting to be seen after they talk to you." she said
"Miss Robbins they will see you now." A man called standing at the door.
I stood and made my way to the room all I kept thinking was not to fuck this up. I was the only one here for Callie. Its been weeks since I saw her last, and I just hoped that the next time I see her will be on the other side of those doors.
"Do you feel that Miss Torres is a danger to herself or others?"
"No."
Keep it short, and don't give yourself away. if they find out that we have a budding relationship they may just turn her down and send her back to Prison. Thats the last place I want her to go after all the work we put in to get her ready for this day.
"And what do you think Miss Torres will do after leaving here?"
"I offered Miss Torres a job at my lab as a lab tech, its hard work and a lot of studing but she has asured me that shes ready for the challange." I say
They asked me a few more questions before shifting their papers around.
"Ok Miss Robbins you are free to go."
And just like that I was dismissed and I couldn't leave fast faster I go the faster they can talk to Callie and she can leave, I hope.
I sat out side for what felt like hours counting the bricks on the wall going through my phone, checking my email, anything that may help the time pass I did. I was starting to feel like they may not let Callie go when Kim came walking out the room with a smile on her face.
"They are letting her out she has to sign some papers but they let her out." She says walking up to me.
I never thought I would hear those words.
"Where do I go to get her?"I ask
"You have to go around to the other side come on I will take you." Kim says
As we walked I thought about all the good luck coming Callies way. This job and the loft apartment. All of it. She has a chance to make a name for herself.
"We have to wait here, it can take an hour depending on who is working, but from what I have seen they wont take long." She says
I start to watch the clock 10 minutes 20 mintues 30 mintues it all went by so slowly. I was about to ask what was taking so long when I saw her. She had on skiny jeans and a white top and a pare of chucks that looked like they never seen a day outside the box. she had a bag full of her things that I guess she had to take with her in her arms. She still didnt have a smile on her face but her eyes told me what I needed to know.
There was a buzz then the door clicked open and she took her first steps on to free ground.
"Oh my god." Callie says holding her hand over her eyes to block out the sun
"While Im glad you are out I know that you want to get out of here as fast as possible."Kim says.
"Yes!" Callie says and gives Kim a quick hug
"I will be by in a weeks time to check in to see if everything is ok then your on you own Kid."She says hugging her back.
Callie puts her had on my back and starts to push me out the door.
"Hurry before they change their minds." she says
we don't speak as we make our way to my car
"Here just drop it in the trunk."I say hitting a button and the trunk pops open.
Callie looks a it for a moment then she drops the bag in and I close the trunk. She was only in there for 3 years but a lot has changed in that little bit of time so I remind myself that this was knew to Callie.
"Do you want something to eat before I take you to your new place?"
"You know a real Hamburger and Fries is all I have been thinking about for the past month."She says
"OK Buger King here we come"I say starting the car.
As I drove I would glance over at Callie only to see her taking every thing that we thats when I relized that she was thin for her body type you could tell she was under weaight by I don't know how many pounds and her clothes seemed to be hanging off her.I couldnt tell before with the uniform that fit her perfectly, but no worries I was about to fix all that.
A short time later found us inside the Burger King at a table while Callie wolfed down two hamburgers and was working on her third.
"Callie calm down no one is going to take your food." I say loud enough for her to hear me.
She stopped and put it down before chewing and swollowing what was in her mouth.
"I'm sorry I'm just used to having to eat fast or i would get my food taken or I wouldnt have time to eat."She says
"Well you have all the time in the world to enjoy what you have."I say.
Callie's POV
The loft Studio was amazing. it wasn't far from Arizona's house and it didn't have a single small room, It was perfect. But once my body slipped into the hot water with bubbles I was done for. I started to wash the grime of that prison of and felt the soft smell of lavender fill my nose pulling my body into a sleepy trance.
"I better get out of here before I drown myself." I say softly
I slowly stood and climbed out the tub letting the water out I cleaned out the tub before going to dress in something to sleep changed I made sure my door was locked and I turned on the tv just to have something to watch while laying in bed. But that Idea went out the window when I got into the bed.
"OHHHHHHH my god."I say as my body sinks into the mattress.
It was like the Mattress was hugging my body and pulling me into dream land and soon I gave up my fight and fell into the arms of my dream was about I couldn't tell you but the next time I woke up was at 6am the same time I woke every morning only to be confused by where I was. After a moment I did a mental slap and rolled over and went back to sleep
At this point I was never going to wake up and I was happy for a moment,as long as I got to see Arizona today I will be really happy.
