Chapter 3 - Worth the sacrifice

"He is an evil being who has lived for centuries. He possesses the power to shapeshift, the ability to create demons and many more. He plans to take control over earth by turning those with evil hearts into demon and make them serve under him while sucking the life out of the pure hearted human to maintain his immortality."

'Oh dear!' Sonya exclaimed in her head, but still had a serious look as she pays attention to her.

"According to my grandma, my ancestors have been dealing with this evil being for centuries, but he still manages to kill them all by aiming at their weaknesses, and now I'm the only hope left." Clara continued

'Now she's bringing the poor woman into this,' Sonya cried in her heart.

"I can't face him now because I have not fully awoken my Powers, and for my power to fully awaken; I have to meet with my other piece, which turns out to be your boss.

My compelling power to forcefully make people do by bidding did not take effect on him, which makes me believe he's the one. If I could get closer to him I will awaken the power of the four elements of life inside me, which is water, air, earth and fire". Clara said.

'Now my boss is involved as well,' Sonya thought again, her feeling tightened as tear welled up in her eyes.

Before she knew it; the tears began to stream down her face. If Clara was a novel or movie fan, she might believe she's telling her about a story she read or probably one of the movies she watched, but she has never seen her watching movies except news.

Which she doesn't seem to understand why a girl of her age would have so much interest in what is going on in the world, instead of focusing on how to work on her life that seems to fail at everything.

"I have to befriend or be his lover, either way, I just have to be close with him. If you want proof I can give you one before explaining further so you'd understand me," Clara said looking up to meet Sonya teary eyes.

She was shocked and looked at her with a worried expression, "so..n..ya?" she stammered her name. Before she knew it Sonya pull her in her embrace.

"I'm sorry, I'm such a bad friend, I kept pushing you all this while, shouting at you, insulting you, not knowing such a thing existed in your life, I'm not worthy to be your friend.

I can't imagine how much you must have suffered all this while, i'm so sorry for not noticing earlier but I promise you one thing, even if I have to bleed out the last blood in my system I will make sure I set things right, from now on you won't suffer alone." Sonya said, in between tears.

Clara was touched and couldn't believe her ears, she just believed all her words without asking questions or prove, she didn't even let her finish with her explanations before offering to help her, even though her life is full of suffering after her family's  death; Sonya has always been there for her, using her free time to help her search for job, and didn't give up on her even when she kept getting chased away. A friend like her is rare to come by.

Now that she found her other piece; things will be different. The fact that they met alone will put a stop to all the bad luck in her life, and she could focus on awakening her powers and dealing with Gregory once and for all, as he has taken everything from her, her father, grandmother and her mother.

Even though she wanted revenge, she has to be fully ready or she might lose her life earlier like her mother who went after the creature without going through the normal procedures out of vengeance.

She hugged Sonya back and heaved a sigh of relief. Even though she always felt cheated, because the human being she was meant to protect treat her like trash; this friend here is worth the sacrifice.

Well, those were her thoughts cause deep down in Sonya's heart, she's willing to spend her whole life saving to get help for Clara's brain. Even if she has to do it without her knowledge, she believes it's for her own good and she will understand her after getting better.

Meanwhile at Leo's office.

Ever since his encounter with Clara that morning, he couldn't get the girl off his mind, not because of her beauty which he could swore has no rivalry on  earth, but the image of how her eyes turned cloudy white did not leave his mind.

As he was deep In his thought the door to his office opened and his friend came in.

"Hey, Man!"

"Can't you knock?" Leo glared at him.

"Seriously? you mean I should knock so you could throw me out? not a chance" Timothy which was referred to as Tim said taking his seat in front of him.

"What's going on? why are you so deep in thought, if I had knocked earlier i'm sure you might be in pain by now, whatsup?" Tim asked

"I'm fine, it's just business stuff," Leo replied changing his expression.

"Oh, you got me worried for nothing," Tim said

Leo rolled his eyes at him, "worried my foot, i'm sure you might not even notice my mood if there was a woman in here with us." he said and lazily rested his back on the chair.

"Speaking of woman, I nearly had an accident today all because of one scary lady whom I got captivated by her curves, but when I looked at her face, bro I had to run for my life," Tim said still squinting his face at the thought of Sonya's face.

Hearing this, Leo quickly look at his friend and asked a ridiculous question, "did you by chance saw her pupil turn white?"

"Dude, are you sure you are okay?" Tim asked once again.
