Chapter 221 Peter into Pio

Layla's anger bubbled within her at such a question. She wanted to shout and ask the same question to him! Why couldn't he do it as well? He could get turned as well. And yet despite wanting to ask such a question on why he couldn't do the same... she already knew the answer. It was the loss of the ability of Vorden. He was already strong on his own and proved himself a good asset to the team. His skills were versatile and had helped them out several times because of that.

While for her it didn't mean much. Her powers were quite weak only being a level 2. In fact, she had even bought a level three ability book before hoping to improve her powers but there was no such luck. She was one of the unfortunate souls that even with money weren't able to increase the strength of her ability. She was stuck at level two this was her bottleneck.

"I want to Vorden, but it's too risky right now." She replied.

At first, when Layla had met Quinn and had experienced what happened to her, she really did want him to turn her. Growing up the only form of entertainment she had was books. It was her escape from her time at the Pure base.

Day in and out, they would constantly show videos, have classes and training related to their goal. Then when she could finally relax she took her time reading fantasy stories of the old. Often in the books, it would talk of a vampire sweeping a girl away from all her problems and taking them to a new world, away from everything.

After meeting Quinn this was what had attracted her, but at the same time she couldn't forget about the reality of why she was at the base in the first place. Her mind kept straying away and reminding her she needed to stick to the cause.

So she had planned to inform Pure of her findings, a way to make their members stronger without using abilities. However, as she grew closer to Quinn she was afraid what would happen to him if she was to reveal to Pure what he was.

There was always the chance that Pure wouldn't be okay with it. Sometimes the organisation's actions even confused her with how they worked and what they deemed okay. In a way, beast weapons that they used were just like abilities, with those more powerful than others.

Did Pure distribute them equally to their followers? Yet, they deemed this as okay. Then when she saw what happened with Peter, second thoughts were running through her head. IF Layla were to do those things then she didn't know how she would face her family.

She wasn't very close with them but her mother was all she knew and all she had right now.

"If I go off the radar, stop reporting to Pure and choose to be by Quinn's side, they could run an investigation. They might think at first what happened to me was the same as everyone else, but they would quickly find out I was still okay. They would then look into me send higher-ups and then Quinn would be in even more trouble." Layla explained. "When the time is right, I promise I will be by Quinn's side."

Although she had said this she still wasn't sure herself. When it came between choosing Pure over Quinn right now she would still choose Pure where her family was and now Erin as well.

After hearing her explanation it seemed Layla had made a lot of sense. She could be lying about the whole thing but Vorden didn't really know how Pure worked. Right now, everything was okay so he wouldn't want to stir the pot anymore.

"It's not just about Pure," Vorden replied. "You're too weak to help and it seems like you will cause more problems for us in the future than help. At least you might be of some use to us if you're turned."

These last words that Vorden had spoken were the biggest hit to Layla. She knew this, her whole life she felt like this even within the Pure organisation. She wasn't any help to her mother, she wasn't any help to her friends and she couldn't even help that much when her friend needed her.
