Anna sat in her office lost in thoughts. It's been sixteen years now. All efforts to find her parents were futile. She doesn't remember much. Looking out the window she remembered the day she was found.
FLASHBACK.
A beautiful girl layed on the muddy floor blood dripping down her head. From afar one can she that she's roughly between age twelve or thirteen. No one noticed her lifeless body by the rock. Suddenly the sky turned dark and a heavy downpour began.
' Everyone inside now, playtime's over' the voice of an old lady sounded.
Rush! Rush!. Sounds of footsteps sounded as children ran inside.
'Ahh!!' a kid screamed.
' what is it? ' the old lady asked as she sprinted towards the location the voice came from not minding the rain. She soon located the girl curled up beside someone.
' What happened Coe? ' she asked anxiously.
' I found her here ma'am' the girl named Coe replied while shivering from the cold and the because of the bloody sight in front of her.
They were soon joined by other elderly women.
' Maria please help me take this girl to the infirmary, Joan you take Coe inside, get the other kids inside their respective dormitory. ' she gave out instructions as she picked up the little girl.
TWENTY FOUR HOURS LATER.
' How's she doctor? ' a nervous old lady asked with eyes fixated on a fragile girl lying on the hospital bed.
' She's surprisingly fine. There is no shortage of blood nor any turmoil. She isn't cold, just seems like a girl who fell asleep. ' the doctor replied.
' Impossible. I saw her lying in a pool of blood, drenched in rain water.. she obviously bled a lot judging from the amount of blood on the ground. ' the old lady said.
' There isn't an explanation unless she heals very fastly. And besides, is she one of yours? the doctor asked.
' No she isn't. I got Maria to check on our kids and they're all account for. how she got here is a mystery. I contacted the police and after some preliminary investigations couldn't find anything. We don't know anything about her, no name, family. Really a dead end' The old lady sounded concerned.
The doctor checked her pulse and heartbeat once again. After making sure everything is okay, he turned to leave. on getting to the door he turned.
' I almost forgot' putting his hands into his pocket he brought out a necklace. ' I found this around her neck ' he said while tossing the necklace to the old lady.
' I think you should keep her ma'am, you run an orphanage anyway. ' he said before going out.
Alone with the girl, the old lady began looking at her features. She is tall, she is thin, and she has a pair of light- brown eyes. Also, she has long, blonde, and wavy hair. Furthermore, she has white skin, she has long - thin legs, delicate fingers, and beautiful arms.
' Sigh, she looks lovely, I wonder what misfortune befell you child. You're safe now. ' she looked at the girl with love.
She gazed at the pendant. It gave off an ancient feeling. the pendant was shaped like a crescent moon. It felt it with her hand and was surprised to feel the smoothness though it looks rough. She couldn't discern the material it was made from. Turning it over she saw a word
'ANNA' she muttered....
PRESENTLY.
' Anna '
' Huh ' Anna turned obviously lost in thoughts.
' Spacing out again? ' the young nurse who walked in asked
'Nah, well maybe a little ' Anna answered.
' You're too serious babe, go get a boyfriend already ' she joked as she walked out the door giggling.
'Sigh... a boyfriend indeed, out of the picture ' she shook her head..
fiddling her pendant she spaced out again.
BACK TO FLASHBACK
(ANNA POV)
I'm sixteen years old girl now, putting on a hood I jumped into a fenced courtyard. I looked around to make sure no one saw me before tiptoeing towards my dormitory. It's already passed light outs. I pushed the door slowly cautiously so that I wouldn't alert anyone.
' That was close, I'm getting good at sneaking out, hehe. ' I smiled happy.
' Welcome back Anna' I heard in the dark.
' Ahh! ' I jumped back in fear. I quickly brought out a torchlight, sitting on my bed was the old matron. She has this smile wish I've gotten used to.. I'm in so much trouble. She stood up and went towards the door.
' Mind to share where to you're coming from? ' she asked.
'Oh don't worry, I know all about your escapades. I know you want to look for your parents Anna, after all this years I've stopped searching. Now I came to inform you that in two days time, you'll be going to skyplume City. You've idled away all this while, time you got busy. You'll be Studying nursing. I've seen you've shown interest in medicine so I've made all the necessary preparation. I've known you for a while now Anna, you're different from the rest. Be focused, you're meant to do great things okay. I don't know the story with your parents but you have to be strong, should they show up, they'll be proud of what you've become.
I'm going to miss you, make sure to put your hundred percent on everything you do okay. And also tell that boy good-bye.'
So saying she went out.
Only one word was in my mind.
SKYPLUME CITY
PRESENT DAY.
(ANNA POV)
It's been years now, I'm now a nurse. I love my Job, saving people, helping out in every way I can. My life is a complete boor, no love interest no objectives, nothing.
'Anna ' I heard my name. The voice sounded urgent. An emergency.
' What's it ' I asked I soon a I came out.
' A car outside just had an accident for no reasons... there are people inside, kids.. we're going to rescue them but we need a nurse on ground ' she said as she panted.
' What? Where? what are you waiting for lead the way. Quick '
I quickly grabbed my box and hurried Along.
I analysed the car from a distance. It was an SUV. From the car I deduced it belongs to a rich person. The car was flipped over by the road side. Before we got there, there women who were obviously passengers in the car where out and the treated.
One of the women was pointing to the car trying to break free, I suddenly realized something, a kid is inside! Without thinking, I sprinted towards the overturned car. just as I presumed, there was a kid inside. Seems like she was stuck. Her legs were stuck. She has lost consciousness already. I smelt petrol, I didn't know where I got the strength from but I ripped out the car sit. Securing the girls in my arms.. I ran to get her treated. Suddenly I stopped.
BUZZ!! BUZZ!!
I heard it two consecutive times. I sidestepped and I heard something whizzed past my ears and the boom!
BLACKOUTS
***********
In a office decorated lavishly, a man sat with his back to the fireplace. Suddenly his phone ringed. Soon his expression changed.
' Send her to the hospital. I'm on my way. Increase the security around her by a hundred percent understood?' he bellowed as he went out.
*********
In another villa
'what do you mean she survived? ' an elderly women man asked someone over the phone.
'Get me everything on that nurse who saved her. And send some spies in. '
