My dad placed his palm on my knee from the passenger side and that brought my mind back to the present. I looked at him giving him a sad smile before letting my palm rest on his.
The ride to the airport was in total silence and neither of us wanted to say a word until we meet again. Because we somehow knew we didn't have the courage to Wave goodbye.
I had fallen asleep staring out the window looking at how beautiful the sky was, of which it wasn't until my dad shook my knee. Lightly did I realize we had gotten to the airport.
I gave a quick smile before getting out of the car to get his suitcase out of the boot. My mom got out of the car simultaneously with my dad as she came round to help me with his suitcase and luggage. It still amazes me how they pull It off every time.
Entering the airport, we had 30mins to check in my dad and so we went straight for it. Once we were done, the few minutes left we walked him towards the point where he would be checked in. I heard through the loud speaker the next flight which is that of my dad's.
Few minutes later I began to hear people chatting as mental images were created in my mind. I could feel my hearing abilities increasing as I was able to hear different conversations that were coming from different sides of the airport clearly.
It was like; I could hear everything. I couldn't take it anymore and it wasn't until I collapsed that my mother realized that I wasn't taking my father's departure very lightly.
I woke up to a splitting headache and my heart hammering faster than that of a human. surveying my surroundings... I saw people dressed in white with a mask covering their nose and mouth.
They were wheeling me away on a collapsible bed.
My mother was right with them saying things I couldn't quite hear anymore; my sense organs began to fail me as I drifted into a deep sleep.
My powers acted up again.
Holding my head tight with my Left hand I made an attempt to sit Up as I rested my back on something soft. I tried to Open eyes but I shut it immediately because of the bright light illuminating the room.
I closed my eyes as I tried to calm myself.
I took slow and steady breaths listening carefully to my surroundings.
I heard distant voice's as they were talking and I couldn't really make out who they were but from the authority in their voices I could tell they were important to wherever it is I am.
Listening in again I Heard a piercing cry of a baby and I flushed at how beautiful the baby looked even with fresh blood all over Her.
"Congratulations" I heard the doctor say as he announced her gender.
I smiled again remembering how I had Witnessed the birth of my nephew. The next thing I heard was the beeping of a monitor and the rush of doctors and nurses towards the sound. It was then I opened my eyes to the realization that I was in a hospital.
So, we ended up not traveling?
I gasp for air that I didn't know I was holding. Looking around my surroundings I noticed I was dripping and a bandage was round my head.
There was a tray of food on the coffee table besides and I suddenly felt hungry. I picked up the food without a second thought as I began to eat.
I was almost done with my meal when I ate on its own accord. I picked up a familiar voice and I listened carefully as I heard their conversation.
"I'm so sorry for your loss my dear" I heard someone saying in the environment. I was confused cause I wasn't dead, who could they be talking about. I finished the last or my meal gulping down my water and put the emptying plates away. Listening in again I heard a cracked sob.
It was from a little girl this time and I'm sure she just turned seventeen from the way she sounded. The doctor interrupted our little reunion as he began to ask me questions.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Fine, I guess. though my head hurts a little." I said to him.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"I am called Lina." I replied to him.
I see my mom show a sign of relief and I look lost asking Her what happened as I looked at him.
"Um, I was at the airport with my dad, You?" He asked.
"Eighteen years old." I replied in return, beginning to wonder why I was being asked all these questions. "And what year are we in?" He asked.
"Wait lol, what kind of question is that? I'm not a crazy mum, I think my powers..." I said before my mum interrupted me.
"Lina!" She says, looking at me.
I quickly remembered that no one knows anything about my powers.
Or what I know I really was.
Hmm! I hope I'm not Coco.
"Well on the contrary...You Are perfectly in shape, nothing to worry about. You are only here because you fainted at the airport. But don't worry... Come this time tomorrow you will be free to go." He replies to me in return.
I checked the Time on the coffee table beside me as it read 3:30pm.
I stared back at them and the doctor decided to Give my mom some alone time with me right away.
He took the tray of the empty plate with him. Immediately he closed the door, I turned to ask my Mom the one question I have been dying to know the answer to.
"How long was I out?" I asked her.
I noticed her fidgeting with her hands and I had to give her a staring gaze so she wouldn't avoid my question after a will of contemplation... She finally spoke up and I was listening.
"Three weeks." She says to me.
"What!" I replied to her shocked and the pillow close to me busted.
With feathers flying almost everywhere.
"You are a lightning witch Lina, you're a threat to many and you must promise me that you would make sure that no one finds out about your abilities or I and your father won't be able to save you." She said to me with her eyes watered with tears and I hugged her.
"But... Mum, why does my case have to be different?" I asked my mother in return. "Child you're the daughter of an alpha, a mixture of three great bloods, that of a witch, a vampire and an alpha's blood, so I doubt your case won't be different, don't you think so?" She. Asked me in return and I smiled in return.
"We are yet to know what you really are Lina and so, for now... You have to remain silent and hide your powers because if the world finds out about you, then your life and even that of the people you love dearly might all be gone to waste." She explains.
"Well then, I hope I find out who I am before the time I have goes to waste." I said to her as she looked into my eyes.
