I stared at the snake in front of me as it shook in front of me before sitting in front of me. I backed away, making it hiss, “Thatsss dissrepsectful. You ssshould be more kind to your eldersss,” It glared at me

“My elders? I don’t know what you are or who you are. I’m confused on whats happening right now,” I looked around, just seeing a rainforest

“Kaios, you know better than to mess with her,” I looked to my right to see a beautiful lady walking towards us

“Ssshe wasss being dissrepsectful,”

“I just backed away because your a big snake and I didn’t know if you were going to eat me,”

The lady laughed, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh but you are a funny one,”

“I didn’t mean to be funny. I was just saying my honest thoughts. Even where am I. I thought I went to bed?”

“You did go to bed, but it was time to see you once more. It’s always joyous to see you even in your dreams,”

“Why would you feel joyous while seeing me? I don’t know any of you,”

She looked hurt, but continued to smile, “That is true, but I’ll always be here for you and like I’ve said before, please stay by their sides,”

“Whose side?”

She walked closer to me and placed her hand on my cheek, “Just remeber, you’ll do great things, just take things step by step and I hope to see you prosper,”

“Wait, hold on,” I reached for her as she backed away but winced in pain as my chest started to hurt

“It may hurt for now, ssso bare it,” The snake said as it slithered away while I feel to my knees, clutching at my chest

I jolted awake from my sleep, still clutching at my chest as I tried to catch my breath, gasping for air. I never experienced this feeling before.

“Layla?” I heard Ysennia sleepy voice

I stumbled out of bed, not wanting to disturb her, but I leaned against the wall, trying to calm myself down, but it didn’t help at all. I slid down the wall, resting on my knees, just trying to catch my breath. I jumped at a sudden touch on my shoulder and I looked to see it was Ysennia.

“Layla, whats going on?” Ysennia squatted down to be at my level

“I-I….. c..can..’t…. b-b…breath,” I gasped, not wanting to look at her

“I need you to stand up, Layla. And try to breath in through your nose and out through your mouth,”

I shook my head as I tried to breath in through my nose, but I started coughing which caused everything to get worse. I kept my head on the wall as that was the only way to keep myself stable.

“Oh god, you better not die on me, Layla. I’m going to call one of the Professors. Stay in there,” She placed her hand on back, rubbing her hand in a circle

I tried to ease my coughing and breathing but nothing seemed to work. My chest continued to hurt and I just wished all this would stop.

“Ysennia, what happened to her?” I shut my eyes close, trying to concentrate on my breathing but my ears wanted to hear

“I-I don’t know. I woke up to her breathing heavily like this and shes’s clutching at her chest. I-I.. I think she needs to go to the emergency room,”

“Islette, we may have to take her. I know you don’t like hospitals but its the only way,” Professor Urban said

“Can you carry her on your back?”

“Yes,” I felt a hand on my shoulder, “Layla, it’s me, Professor Urban. I’m going to carry you on my back to the emergency room,”

I shook my head, “…n..no,”

“Layla, I know it hurts, but we have to get this check out,”

“I’ll help,” Ysennia said, “Just tell me what to do,”

I continued to shake my head until a scream came out as Ysennia turned my entire body around. I leaned against Professor Urban’s back, trying to catch my breath and ease my pain. I felt myself being hoisted up and something wrapped around me.

“This is for precaution matters as we can’t let her fall,” Professor Lewis said

I couldn’t think about anything anymore, just focusing on my breathing and the pain. My eyes opened wide as I gasped, scratching my chest as the pain was too unbearable.

“Professor Urban, something’s wrong!” Ysennia cried out and I felt her grabbed my arm, “Layla, what’s the matter?”

“Layla, hang in there. Were almost there,”

“I…It hurts!” I cried out, letting my nails sinked into my skin

“Ysennia, I need you to stay close to me while we steered away from the citizens,”

“Okay,” Ysennia tightened my arm

I just felt immense pain flowing throughout me and I didn’t know whether to scream or breath. I just needed this pain to go away. We jerked and I felt Professor Urban walking backwards, “We can’t go here,”

“Why? Layla is withering in pain so we need to go in there,”

“Ysennia, we can’t. They know were humans and they won’t treat her as they closed the doors and are blocking it,”

“I’ll go talk to them,” I felt her hand leave my arm

“Ysennia, it’s not worth it so please come back over here and we’ll go to another clinic or hospital. Don’t put yourself in harms way,”

“But, this is the closest hospital here and who knows if Layla will be alive. She’s basically losing alot of oxygen and any minute her heart can give out,”

Professor Urban sighed, “I know, Ysennia, but-,”

“Layla?”

“Oh Lawyer Neville, I didn’t expect to see you here, but we are in a difficult dilemma right here, so well talk to you shortly. Excuse us,” Professor Urban said before he was stopped

“What’s wrong with Layla?” I just hid myself into his back, not wanting Nemesio to see me

“Lawyer Neville, you have to help us, please! We aren’t allowed to enter this hospital and Layla here is having chest pain and breathing problems. We have to get her admitted or else.. no, nothing else will happen to her. You just have to help us,”

“I’ll carry her,” Nemesio said

“No, she’s my student and my reponsibility. You can lead the way-,”

“Professor Urban, I think it’s best that he carries her,” I could hear the fear in Ysennia’s voice

“Be careful with her,” I felt myself being picked up and carried

I kept my eyes closed, not having the energy to do anything anymore. I felt his arms tightened around me and I was brought closer to his body. “I’ll take her into the hospital, the both of you just have to stay out here,”

“Please help her, Lawyer Neville,” Ysennia said then I felt her grab my hand, “Layla, you better pull through. I need my best friend with me,” She let go of my hand

Nemesio started walking and I just laid against him, wanting to stay there for a while. I jumped when there was a bang and I noticed it was him since I couldn’t feel his arm underneath my legs.

“Sir, you can’t b- Oh my god! I’m sorry, your superiority!”

“Who is in charge here?”

“I-I’ll lead you to her,”

“Make sure to keep any entrances and exits closed as it seems we must be reeducated,”

He continued to walk until he stopped, “Move,”

“S-sir, you can’t come in here with her. It’s forbidden,”

“Forbidden? When has that been announced?”

I started having a coughing fit after breathing in the wrong way, “Either you let me in or I’ll make you beg for mercy,”

“You.. You can’t threaten us. We have to think of our patients and what they will think of her,”

It was silent expect for my coughing until I heard screams and whimpers, “Nemesio, what did I say about being a good boy?” It was Octavio, “Follow me. Well, take her somewhere else. I already contacts Wesley and the high council about this unfateful situation,”

I felt Nemesio’s arms tightened on me once again and he started walking after a certain period of time. I was then placed on a soft mattress.

“Why did you bring us here?”

“They’ll know what’s causing her to be like this. For now, you be on your best behavior as I truly hate what you have become,”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You know what I mean, Nemesio. You can’t be going around issuing death warrants and becoming a dicator,”

“Octavio, don’t you see what’s happening to my fated one! When Wesley got shot, you caused no one to get near him which would’ve lead to his death, so don’t come at me when you would’ve done the same,”

I flinched at the sound of a loud, echoing clap, “Boys! I truly don’t understand why the both of you are here and why you’ve brought a human, so please before I banish you from here,”

“Madam Lucia, please help my fated one. I know I don’t speak to you and I don’t believe your beliefs, but please help me this one time and I’ll become your servant,”

“Hhmm, this is interesting, but I’ll take you up on this offer, Nemesio. Now, this is your fated one. She’s a true beauty,” I felt a hand on my chest, “She’s a strong one, but it seems her magic is out of control. Wait, why does she have this much magic coursing through her?”

“Octavio, what have you done? Did you do this against her wishes,”

“Nemesio, you need to calm down. I haven’t seen her in two weeks even she hasn’t given me her answer to this, so someone else has done this,”

“I need the both of you to leave this room. Or I’ll kick you out of this house,”

“I need to stay in here with her,”

“Leave or I’ll make you leave,”

“Come on, Nemesio,”

“Now, let’s see what we can do for you, darling. Your magic is all out of wack,”
