Chapter 2 - To love and To cherish

~In the human world

In a small apartment, a petite woman was looking through the fridge, peeking through her dark brown hair she sighed and said, "we're out of groceries darling, I'll just get some down the road"

"alright be back soon" said her husband

As she opened the door she nearly stumbled on her own feet because there was a baby girl in a basket right outside her door. She looked around for who might have dropped the child before picking the baby up.

"Darling?" she called out to her husband as she went back into the house "I saw this baby outside"

"What?" Her husband Mr. Whyte exclaimed

"right outside the door.... ha .. I wonder who would heartlessly throw their own child away..... such a cute kid....hey there's something sticking out of the side of her blanket"

"it seems to be a note" Mr. Whyte said as he opened it. On the note was,

"This is Layna. Her life is currently in danger and this is where she can be kept safe. To fulfill the prophecy please take care of her till she's eighteen.

With love

C.W.

"Her life is in danger? Is this some sort of prank?" Mr. Whyte reasoned

"well I don't care if it's a prank but I'm keeping this kid..... so cute" She cooed to baby Layna who giggled.

"We can't.... the police might...." he sighed

"I can and I will. I just have a feeling this is all destiny, you know fate"

SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER

A short blonde girl bounced eagerly towards a white bungalow. Layna and her parents had moved from the little apartment to this house when she was one as her dad got a new job. The blonde called out to Mrs Whyte at the door, "good morning Mrs Whyte "

"good morning my dear... Layna is getting dressed, she'll be right out in a jiffy"

"okay.... I'll just go check on her"

May walked into the house yelling Layna's name.

"Layna! Get your ass down here this very minute ...."

"I'm coming ...let me fix my hair " Layna muttered between breaths

"what are you? Queen Elizabeth?" may muttered frowning

That moment Layna rushed out of her room and grabbed a sandwich slice on the dining.

"Phewwi" May whistled " you look got as always "

Layna had grown into a beautiful young lady over the year. She had snow-white jade-like skin, scarlet red hair and emerald green phoenix eyes. This morning she was sporting a white two piece suit that accentuated her hourglass figure.

"I know" Layna smiled

" I still don't get why you don't have a boyfriend yet Layna" May asked

"I'm... I'm... hold on I thought we were late for class?"

"dammit we are" May cursed running towards the bus stop.

"bye mum" Layna said before running after May "stop right there you little... dammit I need more exercise "

Her mum chuckled as she waved her good bye
