CHAPTER 1:~PAST AWAY THE PRESENT~

PAST AWAY THE PRESENT~

~PAIN~

"Layla!", an unclear echo vibrated in Layla ears as her body remained paralyzed on the white bed.

The ceiling was the first thing Layla saw before her eyes shifted to a blurry figure after closing her eyes and opening it the blurry find formed back revealing a blonde hair which shone under the orange sun of evening reflecting in her Black rimmed glasses with her eyes sharp and slight panic as her lips pursed in a thin line suppressing the the strong feeling of not panicking.

Stella looked at Layla as she gazed at her in a daze.

"Layla, are you okay?" Stella asked worried because of how pale Layla looked.

"Hmm" Layla hummed out, unable to speak as her throat was dry and crisp due to passing out for a long time.

Stella helped Layla up to sit up on the bed as she adjusted a pillow for Layla to rest on.

The white door opened and a young man entered with a glass of water and his strong arms holding into the door knob.

The man asked as walked past Stella and handed over the glass to Layla with a serious gaze as he eyes swept past Layla pale face.

"Have some water" the man said as he sat down on the nearby seat and crossed his long legs neatly and gracefully.

Layla gulped down the water and dropped the empty glass on the bed and touched her forehead distressed.

"Layla are okay, even though Nathan broke up with you I understand but not to this" Stella said as she looked at Layla worriedly and sternly.

"It's not that" Layla said as she frowned as she recalled the sudden jolt of electricity before she sighed confused.

Though Nathan break up took a blow on her because they had been dating for two years, all those promises and smile were all fake.

The disgusting image of Nathan intimate with her friend she trusted the most, the trust ran into the mud as her friend expression sneered at her and said.

"It is not a big deal Layla just get over with it".the words made Layla speechless as the words stabbed her broken heart.

"I just don't know what happened" Layla said as she fiddled with her fingers like a child caught stealing candy.

"If you don't want say it, just know am always here for you" Stella said which made me almost burst into tears as she remembered how she ignored Stella blinded by Lilith's brain washing.

"Am sorry, I.." Layla voice cracked as a tear slid down her cheek.

" It okay I understand " Stella said as she wiped the tears clean with her thumb.

" Okay enough with the sympathetic talk, it almost time for curfew" Rowan said as he checked his fancy wrist watch with his sharp sword like eyes glanced at it.

There had been a curfew strictly to be obeyed due to the security problems, some village people had been testifying to have seen a blood sucking monster which wandered around at night leaving victims drained out of blood.

Scientist had a high status in this era due to them solving many problem and helping lot of people,raising their status further.

The government personally protected them even though they had done some things that cost many lives , concealing it from the world and continuing to build their dirty organization and blinding their victims with deceit.

Layla stood up and escorted Stella and Rowan outside before hugging Stella, Rowan was a business man tall, strong, handsome, and had this strong aura that people couldn't help it but take a second glance.

Stella stepped into the Rowan's car and waved at Layla and closed the door, the car drove away from Layla sight.

Layla sighed as she walked back into the house she used to live in since her parents died tragically the cause was unknown but Layla vowed one day that she would uncover the truth.

Taking her phone and blocking Nathan and Lilith number from her phone, she didn't want to remember the bad experience. Now she need to throw away the past and face the future.

Layla is a care giver and she had a day off work but she still missed her particular patient, a very old woman with a rare wise and kind eyes that brought warmth to Layla heart.

Layla looked at her disheveled appearance on the mirror, eyes with red rims and swollen, her lips was pale and broken, she looked like an abandoned material but,those eyes which was aqua blue shone brightly with pure and strong intent to strive.

After taking a warm shower Layla felt refreshed and alive, Layla cheek was flushed due to the heat and her eyes misty with a dazed look.

Layla dressed in her pajamas and strode to the small kitchen and took out ingredients and cooked.

The strong aroma of roasted chicken wafted in the house as Layla placed the plate of food in the table and took a bite, the juicy and tender meat blended smoothly in Layla mouth.

Layla took her phone and looked the message notification displayed on her phone, it a reminder of her school loan

Which she collected due to her parents death and her irresponsible relatives unable to support her.

She had to take care if her self and did lot of job to take care of her school needs and plus her friends support she never had much troubles.

Layla sighed and turned off the screen of the phone.

After dinner, Layla read a book for some minutes and dozed off .
