"Are you angry with him or me?" Kara asked me the moment she entered the room, but I did not answer her, I did not even bother to lift my head to look at her. "You know you should start talking if you want me to help you, Right? " She said, sitting up in bed." Kaelah ... "

"No ... I don't want to," I replied with my eyes closed.

"But ..." she tried to speak.

"No, nothing," I interrupted, looking at her, watching how she was going to complain again. "Don't you understand?" I looked at her angrily. "I'm tired, I don't want to keep talking about this, I don't want to listen to your words of encouragement" I got up. "You don't understand," I turned away from her the moment she tried to hug me. "You don't know what it is to go through this, no ..." my voice broke.

"I try to understand you, but you don't let me," she said.

"Because you will not get it, because you have not lived all that I have lived, because your childhood was the same as a child, while I had to face everything with only four years, I had to mature very fast, I had responsibilities without asking about it ..., to listen without replies" I complained feeling tears of rage in my eyes. "I was four years old when I confronted the criminals for the first time, when they threatened me, when ..., I cried so much that night" I sobbed.

"Kaelah, to ..." she tried to grab me.

"No!" I shouted before continuing. "I've always blamed Father for everything that happened to me and now it turns out that all I was doing was protecting myself." I buried my face in my hands. "The person I trusted the most the only one I thought she believed in me ... she did this to me, she destroyed my life, "I sobbed." I want to be alone, Kara, "I asked.

"You can't pretend that after saying all that now I will leave you alone, you are not fine" she looked at me and refused to leave.

"You wanted me to talk, didn't you?" I got up from the bed and received her statement. "I've done it, now, I want to be alone," I said, marching past Mon-el without stopping in spite of his attempts.

The moment I was in the street, where could I go? What I wanted most at the moment was to be alone, well, rather without my sister, I did not want to hear it more times, I really did not, so I took off without even bothering to think I could be seen.

I watched it, I was in the dark, I could come in, there was no one inside, so I sat on the couch in the hope that she would not come tonight. However, it seemed that nothing had to turn out well, because within minutes of being there the door opened, accompanied by the voices of both before turning on the light.

"God ... Kaelah!" Cried Alex, scared as Maggie began to laugh. "What happened?" She asked, coming up beside me, making me crouch my head, not knowing what to answer. "Is everything okay? Has anything happened with Mon-el?" She continued.

"No, no ... it's just that ... I screamed at Kara and I wanted to be away from her." I explained as best I could, watching as she arched an eyebrow. "I don't want to keep talking about the same thing, I want to overcome it little by little, she doesn't understand" I complained beginning to cry. "My childhood was so different from her, I'm glad it was me and not her, but ..., I envied her innocence so many times" I sighed as Maggie sat on the other side, showing concern. "I just wanted a normal life ..., when I got here I started to see the positive side to all this, but now I can't, I only see negative things that have happened as a result of it" I sobbed without being able to avoid it.

Alex hugged me without asking any more about it, allowing me to relieve myself completely, calming down, the moment her cell phone began to ring, causing me to nod slightly.

"Kara .., hey, no, listen" she asked her, but she kept talking. "Kara, she's here, she's okay," she said. "Yes, she's here" she looked at me. "No, she sleeps here tonight" she claimed. "Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Thank you," I whispered through tears.

"Stop crying, sweetheart," she hugged me again. "Calm down, please," she said.

I rubbed my eyes after pulling away from her, unable to suppress a yawn, tired, resting my head on her shoulder.

"You should change, Kaelah," she whispered, to which I nodded, for I should, if I intended to sleep comfortably.

I came back to her side after I changed, putting my head back on her shoulder, closing my eyes, trying to get to sleep, fact that I got the few seconds.


I was sitting in one of the chairs, watching Winn work with some curiosity, when I heard her scream, frightening me, ducking my head before she could reach me.

"Can you ..." she tried to speak, but Alex stepped in.

"No Kara, don't even bother her about it," she interrupted.

"She ran away from home, frightened us, we didn't know where she was" she tried to defend her position.

"I don't care, you upset her more than she was, so don't shout at her." Alex glared at her.

"I will not shout her ..., it is ..., Kaelah if something had happened to you ..., in the state in which you were ..." she looked at me, causing me to look back surprised by what I was hearing .

"Do you think I want to kill myself?" I asked in astonishment. "Do you think I could do that?"

"Kaelah, I'm afraid of losing you," she said, crouching in front of me.

I looked into her eyes before I shook my head and pulled me away to another room, where I felt tired of the situation.

I could not tell for how long I was alone, because I came back to reality the moment I felt a presence behind me, a fact that caused me to complain without wanting to talk to anyone, but he did not leave, but instead stood in front of me, stooping before grabbing my face.

"Mon-el, I don't want to talk." I looked at him angrily.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay, that's all, but if you want me to go, I will," he said, stroking my cheek.

I looked at him for a couple of seconds, thinking what I would answer him, because part of me was asking me to tell him that he would leave, but another knew I needed him there with me.

"No, stay," I asked, watching him as he sat down beside me.

"Your sister wants me to watch over you, but I don't think that's the best way to solve this," he explained to me, so I nodded at his agreement.

I rested my head on his shoulder as I closed my eyes in an attempt to relax.

"I'm going to go home," I separated from him to look at him, watching him rise to accompany me, but I could not leave him, since I did not go directly to the apartment. "I can go alone," I said.

"I intend to go in a little while," he warned.

I nodded slightly before leaving, sighing as I tried to relax before making the call, for it was the first time I had resorted to his help, or rather his support. Once assured that I would meet with him, I flew to the Fortress of Solitude, hugging my cousin tightly at the same time I began to cry, for I was fully aware that I was not prepared for what I was going to do, but I must, It was the only thing that was going to end with my regrets.

"Are you ready?" He asked me, nodding after a couple of seconds.

I closed my eyes the moment I had his hologram in front of me, sobbing hard, wishing I could have done it when he was still alive, but I had to face reality, this was all I had and could not complain about it. After making an attempt to calm down, I began to speak.

"I'm sorry" I dared to look at him. "I regret all those things I said that day, I know that they hurt you even though you didn't say it, but nothing gave me the right to say it" I wiped the tears, but they kept coming out of my eyes.

"I sobbed with my head buried in my hands, feeling as my mother hugged me in an attempt to calm me, which only made it worse, because I distanced myself from her, wanting to consume me in tears.

"Do not cry, Kaelah, you did wrong and they were consequences." I heard my father speak, causing me to lift my head to look at him. "That boy is where he should be," he said.

"I should be there, too," I murmured, watching as he approached me. "It's the reality, Father." I challenged him this time knowing we were going to get back into an argument, but I did not care.

"You know perfectly well where you have to be, what your obligations are and the rules imposed on you, just as you know the consequences of when you act like you should not" he crouched in front of me to look me in the eyes. "Where is the little girl who looked at me and promised me that she would never skip a rule?" he made the attempt to put his hand on my face, but I pulled away. "Where is that little girl?" he questioned causing me to look away.

"She died in the lab where I've been locked up for years," I complained through tears. "I lost my innocence a long time ago, Father, I did when I was four and you allowed it, so do not pretend to act now as if I were who had to respect someone, because I think I've done it for many years" I got up from where I was sitting to leave, listening as he called me.

However, despite wanting to leave, there was something that would not allow me, which prevented me from advancing, my mother, who watched us both without uttering a word, but I knew perfectly what she thought, what pleaded, that we would end that discussion without further harm to the other, but I could not.

"You don't mean it," he shook his head. "Do you think I don't regret that you had to work with us at such a young age?" He questioned without giving me an opportunity to respond. "I did it for you, Kaelah," he looked at me, but at that moment I could not contain myself.

"For me?" I pointed out. "I find it hard to believe it, I don't think anything has been made keeping me in mind." I rejected his statement, watching as he closed his eyes and shook his head. "If things had happened thinking of me, you would not have condemned Zyan, my only friend, "I sobbed again.

"You are the heiress of the House of El," he pointed out as if I did not know it, as if he were the first to tell me.

"I'm sixteen years old and I'm not engaged to anyone, what harm did Zyan do?" I questioned, but before he could answer, I spoke again. "You know, it doesn't matter," I denied before turning to leave.

"Kaelah," he called.

"No, I don't want to see you again," I sobbed, leaving the room permanently. "

'I did it for you', his words echoed in my head, this time with the lost context of that discussion, because at that moment my ignorance led me to say things that I would later regret, such as shouting that I did not want to go back to see him, keeping my promise for two months, without even bothering to bid him farewell when I had the opportunity to do so, since I did not want to take my blame on all that.

I felt Kal-el's hand on my shoulder, so, despite wanting to hug him, I shook my head, wiped my tears, and tried to keep talking.

"You wanted to keep me safe, I think I understand now, I'm sorry I have not done it before, Father," I dared to look at his hologram. "I wish I could have told you ... I'm sorry," I whispered again turning to my cousin.

"You want me to go with you?" He asked me, making me shook my head. "Okay, let me know when you're home," he said.

I left there as quickly as possible, trying to make sure that Mon-el had not yet arrived at the apartment, however, because I did not want to risk it, I went through the window of my room, sending a message to my cousin before laying down on the bed, forcing me to close my eyes to hold back the tears.

"Where were you?" His voice made me open my eyes without wanting to answer.
