I am Lyla. I was 18 years old just 2 days ago. I was a ordinary high school girl with a normal life. I had the most simple life like going to school....helping mom to do chores a bit after coming back from school....doing homework and play around with my dad. That's a small life of a middle class family. I was very happy......until I turned 18. I wished I never turned 18 that I was desperately waiting for. Because after that my life wasn't normal anymore....I...wasn't normal anymore.
(2 days ago)
Lyla~
The alarm rang like it aways used to but I was just up today before my alarm rang. Today was my special day....I was finally turning 18. I was officially an big girl who can take her own decisions now and can officially taste the alcohol with my friends. I was doing a happy dance when I heard a knock on the door "Sweetie ~" It was my mom's voice. The door opened with my mom's and dad's smiling face...."Happy 18th birthday sweetheart". "Thank-" my words stoped in the middle when I saw something strange. 44.....27.....numbers flickering above both of their heads. "Uhh....mom dad what are this weird numbers in both of your heads?" they stared at me and looked at each others then looked back at me. "What are you saying there is nothing above our heads..." dad replied me. "Huh? Are you guys playing a prank on me?" I laughed at them. But they both gave me a confused look. "Lyla don't tell me just because you turned 18 you started to drink." My mom asked me little angrly. "what? No I am not drunk....Ok this is going far now stop the prank" They just stared at me like I was the one pranking them. "Ok see yourself....I pulled my mom and dad towards the mirror and stand between them. "See...this numbers....." They looked at me with confusion again "there is nothing Lyla..." What? I turned to looked at the mirror and I was still seeing it....suddenly the number flickered again and changed into 43 and 26 now.
I stared at mirror with shock.....what was happening? Am I the only one who was seeing the numbers? Suddenly a number appeared above my head....2....
"Ok now get ready for school young girl and stop your pranks now..." My mom and dad left from my room but I was still staring at myself in terror.
I got ready ate my breakfast quietly and got out of house for school. **Maybe I was hallucinating...I-** I couldn't believe if I was hallucinating or not now....55....67....12.....51.....28...44.......there was the numbers all over peoples heads. I was standing like a statue in shock.
I started to walk pass through looking at their numbers above their heads when suddenly I got hit and fell on the ground. When I looked up a man was looking at me with anger and disgust. "B*tch...don't you have eyes..." He was angrly shouting at me when I saw the number above his head......1.....it suddenly started to flicker and...the numbers disappeared. "Hey you! Are you ignoring-" He didn't even finished his sentence when suddenly.....[Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]the car hit him passing through right infront of me making him fly over and land on the ground.
Nothing escaped through my mouth....I was just looking with the wide eyes in shock and terror. When suddenly my eyes fell at the mirror of the car my number above my head was flickering....3.....it became 3. I quickly got up and started to ran.
I didn't knew where was I running.....I just kept on running and running. I didn't stoped until I was huffing and my leg gave out. I was sitting on the road of nowhere I knew and was huffing when suddenly I heard a scream. I ran into the alley following that scream. It was a dark alley without any light and having a negative feeling that a bunch of gang members would live here at night.
As I ran into the scream was getting clearer now I was running deeper when suddenly I saw a man grabbing a girl by a force and tearing down her clothes with a wicked laugh. "Scream all you want bi*ch....no one is coming to save you today...." "Hey jerk what are you doing? " the man suddenly turned to me and the girl that was pinned down suddenly pushed him and started to ran pushing me on the ground. "uhh...bi*ch...." the man on the floor stand up and looks at me with anger and annoyance. "You wanted be the heroine right bi*ch..." suddenly the man grabbed me and pinned me on the wall. "Now you will replace her instead...and you look more tasty." my eyes grew in terror. He suddenly started to unbutton my shirt....."No..no stop....stop" but he was just grinning I tried stop him by pushing him on his chest "STOP!!!!" suddenly a white light flashed and the man infornt of me started to scream instead. I looked at his head and his numbers were now flickering and decreasing each second 40 39 38 37 36 35 24 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21....as the numbers kept decreasing his face got pale and white. His face was now turning like a crops without a soul like that as the numbers reached 3...2..1....and disappeared like before and that man was lying on the ground completely lifeless whereas I on the other hand was feeling something.....something on my body that was unavoidable and untamed. Suddenly I started to fill extreme thirst. A thirst like my body was out of water. It was a thirst like I will be sucked dry if I don't drink water.
I started looking here and there for something but there wasn't anything at all. I started dragging myself out of that place. I was taking the support of walls to even walk. As I got out of that place my vision was getting blury and I was feeling sick when all of the sudden all went black.

My eyes opened by the dim light that was shining above my head. I suddenly waked up finding myself in an unfamiliar place. It was a hospital. As I stand up I thinking of all the things happened to me or was I just dreaming? I hoped it would be dream but again I felt that same thirst. I looked at a table and there was a jar of water. I immediately drank the water in the glass in one gulp but it wasn't enough. I again filled the water in glass and drank but it was still not enough. I kept on filling the water drinking it but I was still thirsty even though I almost finished the whole jar my thirst wasn't going down at all.
I opened the door and looked but there was no one at all. Hoping to find the doctor I walked through the hallway. It was silent hallway with me walking on it. "Hel..hello..." my voice was hoarse due to the thirst. It was like my whole body was drying out. I was walking as I saw a light coming through a room. **There must be someone there....** as I slowly walked towards the door and opened it. "Someone please-" my words disappeared itself when I saw what was infront of me.
It was a man with a big sword on his hands standing beside a body of a women. My eyes widen in shock. And a scream escaped through my mouth. As I turned to run the door closed itself. I kept on banging the doors "Someone....HELP...!!!!" My voice was going weak by the thirst. I turned to looked at the man standing looking at me with a face of amusement. "Pl..please let me go" my body was going completely powerless as he walked infront of me. I was going back but my body gave out and I fell but a pair of hands suddenly grabbed me. His face was getting very blury and I wasn't able to see him properly.
I saw his smile and heard his chucking voice "I see you are a young and cute soul eater, huh?" Soul eater? what was this man saying? My thirst was in extreme now. "I..thirsty.." I whispered. "Are you thirsty? Want some blood?"
