I'm Back

⚜The weather and its things⚜

It was a cold night, the weather forecast on the phone said it would be clear, as usual it was wrong, a thunderstorm was about to start. It wasn't near the apartment yet; Her shift in the cafeteria was extended, Ana's son was sick and she couldn't leave him like that, so she decided to take her shift. It was already four in the morning, she was walking at a fast pace to arrive home before the rain, but the effort was in vain.

The torrential drops did not take long to soak her and without any visibility of the way, she decided to seek shelter while the weather improved; she stopped in a park, the thunder made her jump with fright, she still in her twenties she couldn't help feeling like a little girl every time one thunder lit up the sky.

When she thought that the storm was subsiding, she decided to continue on her way before it got worse again, she told herself - mental note: do not leave the car to Laila when I have a double shift - she left without paying much attention to her surroundings, by the hour she knew that No one would be in the streets and less in the middle of a storm, she covered her face with her arm so that the drops would not roll down her eyes and thus have a vision of the road, suddenly something took her out of her thoughts and curses against the weather. She stumbled, fell face down in a puddle along with another person, she got disoriented.

- where did you come from? She would swear she was alone for several feet around.
- Excuse me miss it's really my fault, I was in a hurry to get to my destination, the rain didn't let me see my way, I also thought I was alone I never imagined that at this time and with this weather a pretty girl would be wandering around.

She let out a sarcastic sigh in relation to the stranger's comment.

- Despite the uncomfortable situation, I present myself, my name is Oscar and I am new here in the city.
- I cannot say that it is a pleasure to meet you due to the circumstances, my name is Emilia, I really do not intend to continue soaking more than I already am and Even more now that I'm full of mud, so I am not going to apologize because my manners are not the best; I must go.-and she left Oscar standing there while she advanced with a determined step.

She arrived at the apartment, removed everything she was carrying on top of her and prepared a hot bath, she was heading straight for the shower when Laila's nervous and abrupt arrival scared her.

- What happens to you, why do you arrive like that? Did something happen to you? -Asked Emilia (Elizabeth) very nervous.
- Excuse me, cottony (that's how she used to refer to her affectionately) is that I was at Jean's house and we argued, you know how my temperament is, buuuuut, I got scared because I felt that someone was following me and I came running that's all. -Laila lied to protect her.
- Laila for the universe itself, try to control yourself, okay? And please for the next time hold your temper at least until the first rays of the sun are rising, that you are not the wonder woman, ok? You need therapy to control your anger.
- Yes, cottony -Laila raises her hand- promised.

The sun was beginning to peek and sneak between the window of Emilia's room, she was getting late for her to go to class, after the day before she was so tired that she didn't even hear the alarm to get up.

In automatic mode, she went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, went into the shower, got ready, made coffee for both of them, served food for Odin, her bull terrier, sat down to drink her coffee and read the newspaper when Laila miraculously entered the kitchen .

- You got up early today! And to what do we owe such a miracle? Emilia asked, quite surprised.
- Is it that I can't do it? I also want to go to college with you, I have things to do early.
- mmmmm ok, it seems perfect that you try to save the semester the truth.
- Yes, yes, yes, I know, cotton candy, by the way you have days doing double shifts to cover Ana, please let me know when it is, so, I don't get worried, the streets at the hours you go out are not safe, maybe you are so desperate for a partner that you want to be raped? Laila said ironically, hiding the strongest concern.
- Laila! - Emilia shouted - you know very well that I still have not surpassed John and I do not want anything with men for a very loooong time, and thanks for worrying, next time I will notify you, you are absolutely right.

Laila was worried not about banalities, but because there were new vampires in the city, she could feel them and despite that was the group of hunters who had been distracting for a long time, she was grateful that a few centuries ago the sorceress Carmelia prepared a talisman for Elizabeth, with this talisman on, any supernatural or normal creature will perceive her as a simple mortal, since she possesses the vital essence of a young woman who, before dying, gave her last breath and was bottled and processed.

The young man that Emilia (Elizabeth) stumbled upon at dawn was a vampire who had been fleeing from the hunters and as he thought that she was a mortal, she served as an alibi to lose sight of them, thanks to the talisman she used which was a crystal rose crimson red he did not detect that they were of the same species.

Laila had days on the trail of new vampires in town, but she had a bad feeling ... She felt that the Lamia were close.
