Clara quietly sat on the sofa and listened to her mother as she recollected the past. Her mind was quick to process every detail and there were so many questions she wanted to ask, but she decided to keep it for later, knowing that she needed to take her time to absorb what she had heard so far.
"How did that lady sustain those injuries?" Unable to contain her curiosity, Clara asked. Her voice was still as low as it had been."Apparently, the both of you got hit by a truck and she shielded you from possible harm and that was the reason for the severe fractures in her bones""After meeting you in the hospital ward, I asked my colleague to carry out a DNA test on you and the lady. she wasn't related to you in any way, which was somehow very confusing because she had loved and protected you like her own" Flora explained.Clara could understand to some extent because that old lady had said something about being sent away by her biological mother to an unknown"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." –Victor Hugo
Clara woke up the following day with a throbbing headache, a soft groan left her lips as she slowly raised herself from the sofa. Clara's gaze scanned the entire living room before they landed on her Mother who was still fast asleep on the sofa.Clara's eyes softened at the sight of her mother, slowly she got up from the sofa and walked over to where Flora was sleeping."Mom" Clara called softly while tapping lightly on Flora's shoulders to wake her up from the sleep.Flora slowly rubbed her eyes before opening them to see Clara standing beside her, she smiled"Good morning sweetie" she greeted "Mom" Clara stared at her mom with a slightly frowned face."You really didn't have to watch over me while I was asleep. I'm sure your back hurts right now from sleeping on this single sofa all night" Clara grumbled.Flora's smile widened at seeing the look of concern on Clara's face. She sat up straight on the sofa and yawned."I'm fin
Back in mystic falls, Emmet was in the underground dungeon with only a few of the rogues who were able to survive the attack by the mystic shadow pack warriors by fleeing from the scene. Lucas and the pack warriors had killed the rest of the rogues and burnt their remains, and taken a few survivors captive for questioning.Emmet had locked himself in the dungeon for days after the attack and only now did he call on the few rogues that were left alive. Emmet was sitting on a bench with head slightly bent, where he supported his head with his hand by resting one elbow on his thighs while slowly tapping his foot on the dungeon grounds. Silence reigned for a few more minutes before he raised his head to look at the people present in the room."I thought I asked a question?" Emmet said with gritted teeth and he looked no less than a raging wolf. The rogues trembled at the sound of the deadly voice. They glance among themselves before one summons up the courage t
Clara sat up straight, wanting to scold her mother for bringing company at a time like this, also wanting to ask her friends to please stay away and go back to their houses but Clara sighed and gave up the idea, she didn't have the heart to scold her Mom or ask her friends to leave as that would mean hurting them.Clara forced a smile at her friends. Kyle, who she hasn't seen since after her birthday, was now present in her room. He crossed the distance between them and gave her a big hug. Clara hugged him back, she couldn't deny how much she had missed him. Raya and Gina also joined the hug, making it a group hug. The hug sent warmth to Clara's heart and her eyes teared up at the amount of love she was receiving even though she wasn't a normal human anymore.After releasing Clara from the hug, they urged her to go freshen up and then Flora told her to come downstairs and have lunch. Kissing Clara on the cheek before leaving the room with Kyle, to give Clara some privacy. Raya and Gina
Clara was more than touched to hear these words coming from her best friend." I'm not a quitter" she repeated the words in her mind." Thank you Gina, your words mean alot to me" said Clara."Good" Gina nodded, satisfied with the effect of her words.Gina's eyes reached the window and was surprised to see how dark the clouds outside had become"I need to make a call through to my parents, they would be worried, I didn't tell them I would be having a sleepover at your place" Gina said."Yeah, this is by far the best sleepover in the history of sleepovers" came the voice of kyle from outside the room.The girl turned to look in his direction," how long have you been standing there?"asked Gina."Long enough to know that you're not a quitter" Kyle smirked.Gina rolled her eyes."Here, take this," Kyle said, handing Gina a phone. Gina collected the phone and made the call through to her dad, while Clara and Kyle stayed quiet and watched her. "Hello dad. yeah I'm fine. Is mom there with you?.
"Now, go upstairs and change," she shooed them.Few minutes later, the four of them had changed into something better and Flora drove away from the compound. Soon, They stormed the shopping mall, going from one store to another buying clothes and accessories that they needed and in a blink of an eye two hours had gone by.Clara had two suitcases of clothes and other accessories. Her friends too had their own suitcase each and Flora had with her a box containing a white sneaker. They stuffed the car booth with the suitcase and Flora drove to the nearest diner to have lunch.They highlighted from the car and walked into the diner. Few seconds after they took their seats, a waitress came to take their orders.By the time they finished eating lunch another one hour had gone by and Clara had less than fifty minutes to reach the airport. Flora drove back to the house and Clara quickly dashed upstairs and changed into a simple pair of black pants paired with a T-shirt and sneakers and then we
His hands that were already on the door handle dropped and fell to his side and Skyler turned around to face Lucas."What did you say?""I said your mate is back?She bumped into me at the grocery store just a few minutes ago" replied Lucas.Without another word to spare, Skyler dashed out of his quarters,he made his way towards his car and sped off the instant he got in the car.Few moments later, Skyler winds up in front of Clara's old apartment. Stepping down from the car and dashing towards the House, he reached the front porch but Skyler couldn't sense the presence of anyone or hear any movement in the house. An indication that no one lived in the house.Disappointed, Skyler turned away and started walking back to his car when the caretaker of the house showed up with a couple who wanted to rent the apartment.Skyler went to stand in front of them."Please excuse me. What about the girl that used to live here in this apartment?". "Oh, you mean Clara?""Yes!"She's moved to the stu
Skyler drove towards the little cabin that belonged to his best friend lucas. They reached the cabin and Skyler parked the car. Both men stepped down from the car and made their way to the front door. Lucas unlocked the door with his spare keys and got in.Margaret was fast asleep, all curled like a ball on the cold floor. Both men continue to stare at the sleeping she-wolf, contemplating whether to wake her up or not.Knowing the girl's phobia for men, Skyler knew it would be better to take her away while she was still asleep and at the same time having the hope that she wouldn't wake up in the process of moving her.Skyler walked over to where Margaret was sleeping and carefully, he picked her up from the floor and carried her in bridal style out of the small cabin.Lucas walked ahead of them to open the car door so that Skyler could lay Margaret on the back seat. After strapping the seat belt properly around Margaret, Skyler walked back to the driver seat and started driving towards
Melanie pulled up at the parking lot and the girls stepped down from the car. Clara examined her surroundings, she took notes of the students that were going in and out of the buildings, everyone was minding their business at least no one paid any attention to her and she would like it to remain that way. Clara was a little nervous and she did her best to hide it. Melanie came to stand in front of her, the girl pushed her glass up and stared at the nervous looking Clara and asked."Are you alright?" "Yeah sure, I was just wondering where I can find the admin block, I need to submit my documents" said Clara."Follow me" said Melanie with a smile, making Clara wonder if the girl ever got angry as there was always a sweet smile on her face.As they walked towards the admin block, Melanie acted like the perfect tour guide. As usual, Melanie never kept quiet for a second, she told Clara what every building in the campus was meant for, including the building where Clara will be having her
