"Miss wake up!" I opened my eyes to see an older female passenger standing beside me. I must have dozed off.
"We are at the end of the route," she told me before walking off the bus.
I looked around to see that the bus stopped, there was no one in the bus except the driver. I hurried and got off. l looked around to see If I knew the place but I had no idea where I was. There was no one around here, the bus also left already. I glanced at my phone to see that it was ten minutes to eleven p.m, the ride must have been longer than I have imagined.
In less than one minute my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Sherry. I quickly picked up.
"Hey" I said after placing the phone on my ear.
"Kayla!!! Where are you??" she asked worried and I immediately felt guilty for making my sister worry.
"I don't know where I am," I admitted. "I just took this bus and I got dropped at the end of the route, I can't see any cars or people or houses here, It's like..." I heard a sound of a battery low followed by a power off sound. I looked at my screen to see it shutting down.
"Oh no!!" I cried.
I felt some cold drops on my shoulder and I looked up to see that it started raining, The rain started to pour heavily.
"And just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse!!" I sighed before starting to look for a place to shield myself from the rain.
There was no sign of a house or anyone living there. There were bushes everywhere. After a little while of walking I saw an abandoned house. It looked like it hasn't been used for so long and It was very old, dirty and scary due to darkness. But since it was half destroyed you could see inside due to moonlight.
I was so scared to get in there but I had to choose between shielding myself in there or staying out here in the rain and die of cold like Jack in titanic. The choice was pretty obvious, I got in the house.
I entered in a place which looked like a living room and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head, the necklace on my neck started shining and I started seeing things in blur. I closed my eyes and shook my head and when I reopened them the whole place changed.
* * *
I was standing in the same living room but this time It was more lively, there was a very pretty brunette woman on the couch sitting beside a handsome muscular dark skinned man watching TV. And then a 7 year old girl which looked exactly like me when I was 7 walked in and announced, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!"
The woman averted her eyes from the Tv and smiled to a little girl, "You're home! How was school?" She asked while walking towards the girl who was standing near the couch.
"Did you make any friend?" The woman asked, the girl just shrugged and removed her backpack from her back and threw it on the couch. She sat down tiredly.
"Don't worry! You'll make friends with time," the woman said with a weak smile.
"Lameck!!!" She threw a pillow at her husband who was very occupied with TV. The man turned and looked at her wife and daughter with a questioning look. The man looked at her clueless. After seeing his wife threatening looks and her motioning to their daughter he then gave her wife a knowing look before turning to her daughter.
"Kayla my daughter! when did you get here?" He asked her daughter with a smile which was cut short by her wife sharp look.
He coughed and tried again, "I meant how was school?" he asked before glancing to her wife who was facepalming her self.
Young Kayla looked at her father and shook her head in disappointment with an amused face. "It was okay," she shrugged.
"Oh I see!! You didn't make any friends today also? Oh! what am I asking, of course you wouldn't make any friends with that personality! you're exactly like your mom!" The father said.
"Lameck!!!" the woman yelled at the same time the child shouted "Dad!!!!"
"No offense!" he said raising his hand up and grinned.
"Go back to watching Tv!" the woman rolled her eyes.
"You must be hungry!! let's go, I will make you something yummy!" She said to her child.
The mother and the child headed to the kitchen. Kayla quietly followed behind them.
It was weird, In the kitchen the mom could get anything she want with just one look or by pointing it with her finger and then it would fly to her, the child also was helping her in the same manner. They were smiling and having fun.
The scenario changed multiple times and Kayla could see them. Every morning the child and the mother were practicing magics and every night she would practice hunting with her Dad, the family was very happy. There were nights that young Kayla had to stay home alone and her parents would go for what they called hunting. The child had a good time at home but she was out casted in her school because other children thought she was weird. Her ideas of having fun was different from them so she had a hard time making friends. In other words she had a hard time acting like a normal girl which she wasn't.
Kayla could see the woman telling different stories to her child about great witches and hunters ever existed as bedtimes stories and everyday before the child falls asleep the mother would recite some words to her. It was like a reminder of what Kayla was, and young Kayla would recite them with her mother to ensure her that she always kept that in mind.
"You're one of the greatest witch in the earth surface because you also have a blood of a hunter which makes you a witch hunter, one day you will wipe all vampires and wolves in this earth and bring the end to their world because they are bad creatures, they kill humans and feed from them, always remember this," the mother would recite.
And then one night when young Kayla was sleeping in her room her mom came rushing in with her Dad, young Kayla woke up and sensed that there was danger by the look of their parents face, without saying a word her Dad carried her and rushed them outside the house through the back door. He kissed his wife and her child before saying to them "Now Go, Run away from here, I'll follow you after I deal with them," the father said with a very sad look on his face. He knew this could be the last time but he had to be brave for the family.
The woman was hesitating and she looked like she was going to cry any moment. The father passed young Kayla to her and motion for her to go. The woman nodded and ran away, they passed through the bush at the back of their house. Kayla anxiously followed behind them.
They didn't reach that far before the woman stopped infront of a big tree and put young Kayla down. She then kneeled down to the level of her child, though young Kayla didn't know what was going on, she was terrified and was about to cry but she held it back because her mom used to say to her that she is a big girl and big girls don't cry.
The mother grabbed young Kayla's shoulders and made her child face her, she looked serious and sad about whatever she was going to say.
"You're going to hide here... and if anything is to happen to me you're going to run away from here. You're going to run and never look back and you're going to forget everything, whoever you meet later on you're going to tell them your name is Kayla, that's the only thing you will know about yourself. You will also remember your birth date because when you reach 18 you're to come back here and get your memories back, you're not supposed to come back here till then," the woman said to the child. Tears were running out of their eyes but no one was crying loud and no one made any attempt of rubbing them away.
"When you get your memories back you will know why I had to do this, they don't know that we have you, we can't risk you getting known and killed by them because you're the greatest weapon we have. You're our little princess. I also can't leave your Dad alone, I have to go help him." The woman finished and shed the tears from her child's eyes, she said some words that young Kayla couldn't understand them by then and removed the necklace from her neck and put it on her child's neck. Then she turned away and ran back to the direction they came from, she didn't look back, not even once.
The words frightened her. Her mother was speaking as if that was the end, as if they would never see each other again but deep deep down in her heart she also knew that that could be the last time she sees her parents but then she couldn't move, she couldn't go to her parents. She just stayed there. She knew that her mother casted a spell on her and if her mother were to die then her memories were going to be hidden in the necklace, she knew that much.
Kayla looked at young Kayla who was standing there in the middle of the night hoping that that was just a bad dream and everything would be fine the moment she opened her eyes. But then she opened her eyes and saw her house on fire, and outside her house she saw five people whose faces she could never forget though it was in darkness.
Suddenly young Kayla felt a sharp pain in her head and fell down. She watched her young self in tears.
Then everything became blur and Kayla could feel herself losing conscious and falling down. Everything became black.
