Layla's pov.
Damn it! This is so annoying.
OMG! I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Layla just finished my high school studies after I turned 18 in August. I lived with my adoptive parents. Well I had always wondered why they adopted me if they weren't going to treat me well. I have always been weird as far as I can remember. At first I could see clearly in the dark when I was just three years old a year after I was adopted then gradually I would have weird dreams what always come true.
That was how everything started. I was able to fight any one or thing I am really strong and can also run at light speed. But the most unfortunate thing is I don't know who or what I am. At first I was really scared of myself but later on I began to embrace and accept my weirdness. I really wish I had parents. My real parents not my wicked step parent. I hate that I have to call them mum and dad.
Once I leave for college I'll never returned that was the path I gave to myself. If I did return it will be for revenge against this family.
Yes I forgot to introduce you to my step sister the thorn in my flesh Jessie. I'm a year older than her.
She especially treatede with so much hatred and contempt. I truly despise her. If I would kill any one first it would be her. But no, not yet, the best time for all my thoughts against that wretched Christopher family is yet to become reality. I would make sure they burn in hell.
In a few more days I'll be moving out to attend college praise the heavens!
"LAYLA!." Yes that's my step mum Christen calling me for some unknown reason.
"Yes!" I replied as I headed down stairs towards her voice. And yes they are not really aware of my special abilities they also see me as a weirdo.
I arrived at the kitchen where my Christen's voice rang from.
"You demonic child isn't it time to wake up or you want me to serve you breakfast in bed? Now prepare breakfast my precious daughter must eat before leaving for school" she said and stormed out.
" Hmph."I could just snap her head off but I have never killed anyone before.
But the first time I actually got extremely angry I was alone in my room but what I saw left me baffled for minutes. My pulpils had turned into a dark shade of red and my fingers were curled into tight fists and I didn't know I was bleeding until I smelled blood in the air. I released my grip not only did I see blood but frightening long finger nails pointy and sharp. I hastily got the first aid kit and as I cleaned the wounds I saw it healing at a visible speed to the eyes.
It left no scar! I was still recovering form my shock when I saw how my eyes changed back to their normal colour.
From then on I tried everything possible not to let anyone provoke me. Not even my family or the outside world.
I am done cooking. I served everyone breakfast and took own food upstairs to my room as I had long been banished from eating at the dinning table since I was 5.
Those people truly hated me mostly Jessie. I am extremely beautiful that even I can't believe it. Long black hair that goes below my ass, extremely fair clear skin, pink full lips, long natural lashes, long legs and to crown it all a very curvy body with slim waist and perfect boobs. So it's quite understandable for her to be jealous of me as she has just a random face and body. She isn't even amongst the top five pretty girls in her class.
Well my parents said they were only going to be responsible for my first year in college but after that I'll handle the rest myself. By taking responsibility, it was only paying the tuition fees and nothing else. No accomodation fees, feeding, transport, textbooks and the rest I'll have to sort it out my self.
Just three days and I'll be out of this family.
Two days flwe by in a blink of an eye and on the third day I had already finished parking. I didn't have much just a few dresses, shoes and two had bags. Oh I almost forgot the bracelet I always had since I can remember.
The most amusing part is that it still remained my size not to big or too small. It seems like as I'm growing it's growing with me. I never took it of except when I wanted to shower but today I almost forgot it. How reckless!
I believe it will lead me to my biological parents that's if they are still alive.
I was done packing and headed down stairs when everyone came out their faces smiling brightly.
"Oh my daughter I'll really miss you". My stepmom mocked .
"Sister please go and never come back besides your stay here was mistake and you were never welcomed here!"
"You this weird and evil child good bye I have already transferred your tuition fees
I believe you can take care of the rest." Came Charles my step dad's voice full of hate.
I still wonder why they adopted me and kept me till now.
I headed straight for the door never turning back. I have to move on and come back to deal with them in the future!
I boarded a bus to my school as I entered the bus as usual all head turned to look at me for seconds before slowly turning back to their original positions.
I arrived at my school and went through all the admission processes, from office to office all alone while other students had come with their parents.
I knew the kind of heart my step family has towards me so since I was fifteen I had saved up a lot of money. Thankfully I would be able to manage it for a few months by then I would have found a part time job. I paid my hostel fees and as luck would have it I won't be sharing my room!
"What a tired day". I murmured to myself before sleeping off. I woke up around 7pm to shower after I got out I cooked some noodles that I had got from the grocery store along with other things that could last me a few days. I had finished eating when I sluggishly crawled to my bed and fell asleep. Soon I noticed that something was looming over my face but as soon as I opened my eyes I was nothing. I looked around and turned back to sleep.
The following morning I had gotten dressed for lectures when I noticed claw marks on my windows but I brushed it of besides I'm new in this room and anything is possible. Maybe it had been here since. I took a towel and sanitizer to disinfect the windows. But as soon as I left, little did I not know that a shadow had appeared in my room.
"Found you!" The creature said grinning from ear to ear.
Third person pov.
Layla returned late in the evening from lectures had her bath and lay down to sleep. She had already had dinner out with her course mates so she was again exhausted. She immediately drifted off to sleep soon the creature crept put of the shadows and sat on her bed. Trailing it's fingers across her face.
Layla a light sleep no matter how weak she is, is really sensitive and can wake up at the slightest movement shot her eyes open only to find a pair of red eyes staring deeply at her. Even though she could see clearly in the dark but this time things were oddly different. She couldn't see anything apart from the red eyes that shone in the dark !
