After a week of rest, Layla's ankle finally recovered she was excited to get back to her school eager to meet Chris. When she arrived she was greeted by a warm smile from Chris.]

Chris: Layla! Finally you are here, how you feel now?

Layla: I'm totally fine now.

Chris: glad to hear that, by the way I have a football match coming this week I want you to come .

Layla: I would love that .

Chris: Awesome! I'll make sure to reserve a seat for you. Emma's coming too, she's been asking about you nonstop.

Layla: (laughs) That's so sweet of her. I've missed you guys too.

Chris: So, what did you do during your break? Anything exciting?

Layla: Nope, I was busy with catching up with the school notes .

Chris: (smirks) Ah, sounds like a real thrill-ride! I'm sure catching up on school notes was absolutely exhilarating.

Layla: (laughs) Hey, someone's got to keep my grades from sinking!

Chris: (teasingly) Yeah, yeah, we know. You're a total bookworm.

Layla: (smiling) Hey, that's not a bad thing!

Emma: (approaching the group) Hey guys! Layla, it's so great to see you!

Layla: (hugs Emma) Emma! I've missed you!

Emma: how have you been all these days?

Layla: it was boring with my swollen ankle.

( They continues to catch up but layla's mind was at something else she was distracted by the thoughts of the lake she planned to sneak out at night to discover whats beneath it, as the school ends. )

[ At night Layla make sure that her parents are asleep, she climbs out of the window and she went into the forest under the light of the full moon, she reached at the edged of the water, it's surface was reflecting the stars above , as she stood there for a while, hesitant to go suddenly she heard the same voice calling her from the lake " Layla...". Without thinking she waded into the water and the voice calling her again " Layla...come...." she swam faster towards the depth of the water, as if trying to find the source of the voice but she find herself standing infront of a dark and cold entrance of a cave into the lagoon, in the pit of silence the sound of the dripping water echoed, as she walked further into the cave an ethereal light illuminated the darkness. The walls and ceiling where glowing with crystal light, ancient drawings of mermaids , Siren's, sea serpents and other creatures where scribbled in the cave's wall, the secrets where unfolding like a hidden treasure as she walked past by the drawings, crystal light she stopped infront of something it was a drawing of a mermaid got defeated by a sea serpent under that drawing there a crystal necklace buried in the rocks without thinking she fastened and wraps the necklace around her neck, as soon as the crystal necklace touched her skin she felt an strange sensation she looked down and saw her legs merging into an shimmering tail, glittering like diamonds and sapphires in the soft, ethereal light of the cave. The scales gradated in color, shifting from soft turquoise at the tip of the tail to deep indigo towards the top, where it met Layla's waist.
As Layla was both shock and excited for her adventure the same voice echoes again "Layla your journey had just begun....explore the depths uncover the secrets of your past...". ]
