Layla was busy in her compartment, packing her things when her dad and mom entered her room.
"Mom, dad. Good afternoon". She greeted them and drop her bag on the bed. Her mother looked at her with her already teary eyes.
"I wish I was the one destined to do this, but my part has already come to pass". She said, still hugging her daughter.
Layla withdrew from the hug and looked at her mother's face.
"What are you talking about mom?". Layla asked looking confused.
"Hmm..we already know about your powers and your abilities my dear". Her father chimed in.
"You what! I'm ..I'm. Sorry for not telling you all this..". Her words were interrupted by her mother's words.
"Know need to apologies, my dear, we should be the ones to apologize for not telling you all this while". Her mother said and made her sat down.
"You guys are getting me confused, what are you talking about?". She asked them.
"Hmm.. okay let me tell you all that we are talking about".
FLASHED BACK
(20 years ago in the human world)
"Hey, my dear. How are you doing ". Becky's mother said on the phone.
"I'm fine mom, and how about you too". She asked while walking down the stairs to meet Aaron in his apartment.
"Have you found the girl I sent her picture to you?". Her mother asked.
"Yes mom, she is in the sick bay right now". Becky answered.
"Good, make sure she doesn't abort that baby ". Her mother said.
"Which baby?". Becky asked surprisingly.
"Oh, she is two months pregnant and she will intend on aborting it, but she is the one who is going to carry the child I told you about ". Her mother said.
"So you mean she is pregnant with the child now?". Becky asked as she went to sat down under the tree to listen to what her mother was saying.
"No, this baby is not the one I told you about. The one I told you about would come only if you make sure she doesn't abort this one".
She said.
"I will make sure she doesn't mom". Becky assured her mother and she end the call.
Becky was thinking why her mother was telling her to help someone when she wasn't even sure why she was helping her. her mother, later on told her about it all and explained it to her well. She told her that her big brother who was the underwater world king, told him to do that for him and she would reward her daughter who was Becky with a gift after that.
A few weeks ago, Aaron had a dream when he saw Becky sitting on a throne between two water and carrying a beautiful baby girl in white clothes. When Aaron appeared there, she told him that he should come and take a look at their daughter and he was shocked about that.
After Aaron had that dream, he told Becky about it and she took it as a joke not knowing it was true.
She forgets about that and helped Cecilia, finds her parents and after giving her a happy life, Cecilia gave birth to the promised child. on that night when she gave birth to Dela, it was like a tornado. No one was able to stand outside for even a minute. People were carried away and great trees fall. That was when Becky understood what her mother told her.
She also gives birth to a baby girl as expected by Aaron and Becky's mother. She was surprised to see a baby as beautiful and was called Layla with her long natural hair and flawless skin as that of a snow white.
END OF FLASHBACK
"And that was when everything started. It was said a long time ago my dear, you remember the book you went to read at the library of magic?". Becky asked her daughter and she was surprised about that.
"How, did you know I went there?". She asked.
"We were told already". Her father answered this time.
"Hmm..yeah, I read the book and I was shocked myself". Layla said.
"So my dear, it your destiny". Her mother said and hugged her over and over again. Then she helped her pack her things.

"Hmm..I can't wait to teach that thing the greatest lesson in this world". Dela said as he looked at where Luca sat with his friends.
"Do it". Hosea said and Dela stood up and shut his eyes closed.
"Think of what you want to happen and it will happen". Hosea said and Dela started thinking with his eyes tightly closed. He thought about the food exchange with that of Luca and it happened as he had thought of it. It was like the whole place was moving slowly and the human student mind the business. The food in front of Dela floated in the air and it went straight to where Luca was talking to his friends without minding what was happening. Then his food also floated in the air and arrived at Dela's place. After that, he opened his eyes.
"Did I do it?". He asked.
"Of course you did it, now let's just wait for the drama to start," Hosea said happily. She was happy that Dela has gotten used to his powers

"Hey, why is he still eating?". Steve asked.
"Are you asking me, are you not the one who put the poison in the food?". Luca asked.
"Isn't it taking too long to work?". Aziz also asked.
"Well let just watched". Luca said and took some of the food and ate it. He kept on eating and his friends also ate along. After a while of eating, Aziz stood up. "I'm tired of waiting, is the poison not able to work?". He said.
"Will you shut up and sit down? You are the only one with a big mouth so you would talk". Luca said and was about to raise his hands but he couldn't feel it.
"Hey, I can't feel my hands". He said and they all turned to look at him.
"What!". They shouted.
"Yes, No! My legs, I can't feel them either. What is happening to me". He asked as he tried to stand up but he fell back to his seat. Seeing that, Dela and Hosea walked up to them.
"Aww, are you feeling sick? I noticed that you were struggling to get up. Why?". Dela teased.
"What did you do to me?". Luca asked angrily.
"Ooh, no, no. That shouldn't be the question. The question should be what have you done to yourself? That is the question". He said and smiled.
Luca looked at him and groaned.
"Steve how long will it last?". He asked.
"One week ". He answered.
"What!, You want me to be like this for one whole week?". He asked him.
"That is what you said and I didn't do it". He said and looked away.
"Wow, bravo! Well done Luca thanks for giving me peace of mind for the next whole week. I think I will now have myself at peace ". Dela teased and Hosea laughed.
"So you watched him do this to me?". Luca asked Hosea. Hosea looked at him and laughed then she walked closer to him and said.
"I took away your pain last night because it was the good thing to do. but you tried to harm the one I'm supposed to guard and for that matter, I needed to do something. Don't forget your rules and regulations, and if you have forgotten go back and read them over and over again". She said.
"So why did you save me last night?". Luca said trying to sound innocent.
"Haha, like I said because it was the right thing to do, I just saved you because of the rules in the realms and not any other reasons. If you are having another thought then get them out of your mind. any, don't get ahead of yourself ". She said and Dela laughed then they went away.
" Okay now, Luca I think you can't walk anymore for a good one week. isn't that wickedness? I told you maybe it won't work but you still insisted. You see". Steve said and scoffed.
" Would you shut up? So, I just ask for your help"? Luca said and groaned. Steve stood up and wanted to leave.
" Hey, where do you think you are going. Come and let us help Luca". Aziz said and Steve groaned again.
The school was over and Steve and Aziz had to carry Luca to his house before returning to their home.
***
Dela got home and did all he had to do together with Hosea. It was getting late so Hosea decided to leave for her place.
"Good, night my prince". Hosea said and Dela waved at her, but before she could disappeared, Dela stopped her.
"Hey, how about we talk a little about your sister". Dela suggested.
"That is good, I will like to know a lot about her, besides you know I couldn't grow together with her". Hosea said and smiled then she went close to Dela and sat beside him.
"So tell me, what does she like and what she dislikes". Hosea said as she looked at Dela who put his pillows between his legs with his hands crossed together.
"Well, your sister was such a lovable girl. I remember when she was Five years old and they brought her to school. She was crying and didn't even want to talk to anyone. When we closed and her mother came for her, she was the happiest girl on earth with that her charming smile". Dela kept on talking about Layla while Hosea laughed at a point which seems funny and Dela would also laugh too.
"So I'm just confused about who to choose now". Dela said while he was playing with his nails.
"Hmm.. from what you have told me about my sister, I can see you truly love her and her only . Not because she is my sister but because you can't get away from her". Hosea stopped talking and looked at Dela who bowed his head low.
"Hmm..I'm not a good guy for Layla, I betrayed her. I had feelings for someone else while she loves me only..I don't think I can even look at her tomorrow when she comes". Dela said and tears started falling from his eyes. Hosea wasn't happy seeing that, she giggled at him and tapped him on the back to stop crying.
"See, you are a very good guy for my sister Dela, Drakon and Zeeva chose the two of you to be together. So I don't think anyone can separate you guys not even when the demons and the vampires become one. I don't think they can even dare to separate you guys". Hosea assured him.
" Are you sure?". He asked.
" Of course, not when I'm still alive ".
" Thanks, Hosea, I always see her in you". Dela said while looking at Hosea who has withdrew from the hug.
" You welcome my prince. Now I think you may need some rest". Hosea said and stood up.
" Good night". Dela said and she disappeared.
He also laid down on his bed thinking about Layla who was happily talking with Jonie.
" So you said you are also going with me?". Layla asked.
" Of course, remember I'm still protecting you". He teased.
" Oh whatever". Layla hissed.
" I have everything packed". Jonie said.
" Well, I hope if our mission is accomplished, we would come back right?". Layla asked.
" Actually no, for you are not a human. What I have been learning about says that Dela will take over the throne with his love. Which is you, so I think you will go and live in the Archer Angel Kingdom of pure magic". Jonie said.
" Wow, is gonna be incredible. I haven't been there before".
" Then you are going to live there". Jonie said and they laughed.
