I will Love You Forever - Chapter 108

Elizabeth got to the house and spotted a taxi parked not too far from her gate. This rarely happens and it gave her the impression that surely someone was in the house.

She drove past the gate but didn’t even bother to ask if the guards let someone in because she was certain already.

She got out of her car and walked into the mansion. The scent got stronger and it was a human scent. It was an abomination to have a human lurk in her house because she considered humans as food and not pets that she was willing to keep and act warmly towards.

No human comes to Elizabeth’s house uninvited and goes in one piece. She followed the scent and walked upstairs but on getting there, she stopped in front of Kara’s room.

Elizabeth’s brow furrowed. There was the metallic smell of blood and also the scent of the human which was faint.

She placed her hand on the doorknob and opened it slowly but before she could see anything from the inside, Kel hugged her happily.

“Mother, where did you go?” Kel asks with a pout on her lips. The strong perfumes on Kel’s body destabilized Elizabeth sense of smell.

“Jeez Kel… When did you start wearing such toxic perfumes? You smell like a human.” Elizabeth blurted out and Kel laughed at her mother.

“A human? What else would I be if not that?” she stared at her mother in askance but didn’t make too much eye contact before dragging her mom away from Kara’s room.

“Will you stay with me tonight? I can’t sleep comfortably without you, you know…” Kel smiled and pulled her mother further away.

Elizabeth stared at Kara’s room curiously before following Kel. She desperately wanted to confirm her suspicions.

“Sit here. I made you tea.” this was the normal routine Kel followed whenever her mother happened to be with her before she falls asleep.

Elizabeth didn’t think too much of it and just sat in the room and waited for Kel. It didn’t take long for Kel to return with the tea and passed it to her mother who drank the whole team in one go.

“You always enjoys my tea,” Kel said with pride and Elizabeth nodded in affirmation.

“Of course, you make the best tea.” Elizabeth praises her daughter more then asked her to come and sleep.

Kel rushed to her bed and slept beside Elizabeth. Elizabeth had finished the tea in one go because she wanted Kel to sleep on time so that she could check Kara’s room.

Soon, the sound of steady breathing was heard, in fact, snoring. Kel opened her eyes and saw her mother sleeping already.

She sighed in relief the recounted how she put sleeping medicine in Elizabeth’s tea. In fact, she use much more than the normal dosage because she knew that her mother had tough skin and medication like those rarely work on her.

Carefully, she got out of the bed and placed a pillow there instead. She hurried out to Kara’s room and locked the door from the outside before leaving the house.

She rushed out of the gate in her pyjamas and the guards didn’t even ask questions.

She hurried and took the Uber that she had requested prior to this time. The Uber driver took her straight to the hospital where Ayla and Kara already were.

Ayla pacing the floor when she saw Kel running towards her. “How is she? Did she sustain any serious injuries?” Kel asked worriedly but Ayla said nothing and just shook her head.

Ayla had not been in a good mood ever since she unlocked that door and her reasons were quite obvious.

###

I pushed the door open after hearing the sound of the door unlocking from the inside.

What and who I saw was far from what I had expected. There was blood on the floor and although it wasn’t that much, it was enough to kill a person.

And it make it all worse, Kara was the one in the room and she was lying down in her own blood.

I was so shocked after seeing her but I didn’t waste a second to run to her side. “Kara… Kara talk to me. Open your eyes.” I requested. I didn’t care if this was the Kara from school earlier today. All I knew was this Kara was my friend and I couldn’t watch her die.

I checked for where the injury came from and realized she had slit her wrist with a sharp object.

I didn’t have the time to think about why she would want to commit suicide and just tore my cloth and covered the wound to stop the bleeding.

I asked Kel who was panicking for some first aid kits which she provided instantly.

As soon as she came back with the first aid box, she was panicking for another reason. “My mother is home. I just saw her car drive in. This is bad… This is bad… What do we do?” she asked confused.

I thought it would be a wise idea to tell her mom about the situation but Kel must have been worried for a reason.

“Keep her busy, I’ll try to stop the bleeding,” I told her.

Kel nodded and was about to leave but I realized that her clothes were stained with blood. “Change your clothes immediately.” I requested

She nodded and passed me a piece of paper “You might need this.” then dashed out of the room.

I used the disinfectants in the first aid box the ties the injury again. I struggled to move Kara to the back of the bed where her mother wouldn’t find her.

I succeeded in doing that and I heard her say something to me. Her voice was faint but I could somewhat hear her.

“Ayla… Ayla… Don’t stay here.” it was only then that I knew that she was indeed the Kara I had known back in Salem.

“Sh… You will be fine, I’ll make sure of it.” I quieted her down and she didn’t say anything else but her body temperature was rising fast and she needed immediate medical attention because of the blood loss.

I couldn’t think of any way out except the window. I took her bedspread and tied it to other long clothing before carrying her on my back.

“Hold on tight.” I requested. And tied her to my back because I knew she wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

We began to descend through the window but just then, I heard the door of her room crack open and was forced to increase my pace without making a sound.

Blood was all over my body and even my white hair. On my back, I adjusted Kara and ran to the gate which was a long distance from the house but my legs didn’t stop running even though I was tired from Kara’s weight.

When I finally got to the gate, the guards didn’t let me through and even threatened to call the boss. I was out of breath but remembered the piece of paper Kel had given me. I took it out and showed it to them. Only then did they let me through.

I hurried to the taxi that was waiting for me outside and asked him to drive fast to the hospital.

“Blood?” he hesitated but I couldn’t waste any more time.

I swiftly took out my hairpin and placed it on a sensitive spot of his neck. “You’ll die otherwise.” I threatened.

He didn’t think twice before starting the engine and rushing to the hospital. Once at the entrance, I rushed out and paid him extra money.

With Kara on my back almost lifeless, I ran into the hospital and the nurses were quick to attend to me without even receiving a police statement.

“Wait here, ma’am. The doctor will attend to her now.” one of the nurses calmly explained and I nodded.

I sat in the waiting area but my entire body was shaking as I saw Kara’s blood on my hands.

I wasn’t so scared earlier but now, all the fear I suppressed resurfaced as I waited for the nurses to give me an update on what was happening.

I couldn’t sit anymore and began to walk around hoping to suppress my anxiety. Just then, I saw Kel running towards me in her pyjamas.

She looked so worried and asked when she spotted me, “How is she? Did she sustain any serious injuries?”

I shook my head. At the moment, I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to talk and I wasn’t even sure if Kara was fine or not.

“The…” the first word didn’t come out well so I cleared my throat and spoke again.

“The doctor is attending to her. They haven’t said anything yet.” I explained everything I knew but she didn’t seem to take it well.

“Ayla, what do I do? Do you think my sister would be fine?” Kel began to cry. Kara has always been the one to protect her and more than a half-sister, she was like a friend.

Kel was worried because they had a quarrel before this incident and she couldn’t help but blame herself.

Back at Kel’s house, someone’s phone was vibrating in Kara’s room but there was no one present to answer it.

Ayla had forgotten her phone there and Gerard had been trying to talk to her after learning that she wasn’t home by Lucy.
