“How?” Was all that Carly had to say as Victoria led her away.
“It worked one time sister. I am now one step closer to becoming a soft body.” Dalia said to no one. If anyone looked closer, they would have seen that she was holding a small phone.
“I told you it would. Not long now and you can leave the world of the unchanging behind and take your place as a human being.” The voice came softly down the line only loud enough for Dalia to hear.
“Not long now, one time sister. I will soon be able to leave the sisterhood and their ways behind.” Dalia replied to her unknown supporter.
"Just continue keeping her distracted and you will get everything you wish," the voice promised. "As long as she believes that it is the challenges that dictate her fate, she will not figure out the truth until it is too late. She did not even remember that a wig was placed on top of her hair."
"Why do such fools get to be soft bodies?" Dalia asked.
"If there were not so many gullible ones, then there would be no opportunity for the unchanging to seek the lives they deserve," the voice commented. "But go, before they get suspicious."
Dalia disconnected the tiny phone and hid it. She had no respect for Carly. She was not worthy of the gift the universe had given her. She would definitely do better than her with what she would gain. And someday, perhaps there would be another opportunity for others to join them.
