The newcomer ate alone, sitting in a corner, with absolute tranquility.
That’s when Vanessa noticed her.
He watched her for a few seconds from the other end of the dining room. Then he smiled arrogantly and walked slowly toward his table.
The conversations began to die down.
Many already knew what was going to happen.
Some even stopped eating.
When Vanessa chose a new victim, no one expected a happy ending.
Upon reaching the table, he turned his gaze to the girl’s tray.
—Hey… give me your food.
The young woman looked up with complete serenity.
—This is my lunch. If you’re hungry, find yours.
The inmates closest to her exchanged incredulous glances.
They had never heard anyone answer Vanessa like that.
But the stranger remained completely calm.
Vanessa narrowed her eyes.
—I’m still hungry. Give it to me. You’ll survive a day without food.
-No.
The response was firm and calm.
Fearless.
