The three unknown men ventured into Zoarah city. As they moved, they gained continuous stares from people probably because of their features and handsome faces.
In no time they were able to locate her college, Sky High college. As soon as they arrived they briskly walked through the tall gates each asking for a student named Irene.
Unfortunately for them the Christopher's had failed to give them her second name, Layla.
After to many failed attempts, they headed to the deans office.
In there, they still couldn't find any leads.
Logan's mansion.
Logan was in his study waiting for Milo to report to him. He was the one incharge of training Layla this week.
Since there's movement from the underworld, there is no room for slacking off.
Soon Milo comes in.
"My lord." Milo said bowing to Logan.
"Darius must have told you why you are here?" He said as a question with an eyebrow raised.
"Yes my lord. He said I was going to give training lessons to my lady."
"Good to know. Well she has improved a lot so I'm expecting you to take this training seriously. Besides you know that time isn't really on our side." He said staring intently at Milo.
"You can leave now. Head to the training grounds, Layla will soon be joining you." With a bow Milo excused himself.
Logan got up and headed straight for his mates room. Since breakfast she hadn't come down thereby making Logan to wonder what she's always doing in there.
Knock knock knock.
"I'm coming." Her voice came from inside her bedroom. She had been fiddling with her phone on bed. Surfing through the internet to know the latest updates on celebrities and other 'clout chasers'.
She opens the door to see a face none other than Logan's.
"H-hey, what's up." Again for absolutely no reason her cheeks turns into a light shade of pink.
"Milo is here. His your new instructor, I told you about him yesterday. He's currently waiting for you at the training grounds. Dress up can let's go." He said as he stepped inside her room.
"Oh okay. Um..." She said looking around nervously.
"Honey what is it? Is there something bothering you?" He knew why she was hesitant yet he asked.
"Well...um y-you aren't going to watch me undress are you?" She asked while unconsciously twirling her dress with her index finger.
"Well I don't mind watching." That smug smile appeared on his face as he teased her. Her face is as red as a tomato as she grabbed her clothes dashing into the bathroom while shouting "Creep!"
A week later.
In his study Darius shows up with Mark and Elsa, Logan's trusted men.
Elsa is a demon and became his warrior over two hundred years ago. She has been crushing on him ever since. She had always made subtle advances towards Logan but unfortunately he is straight. So straight that even his men knew that she had a thing for him but he was oblivious to it. He saw it as her treating him as a brother.
Mark on the other hand also joined during the period Elsa joined. He was a very skilled swordsman and Logan usually teased him saying his heart was made of stone.
He wasted no time in eliminating threats whether major or minor threats.
Today they left the underworld with urgent news.
As soon as they walked into the study they bowed and greeted in unison before Darius began talking.
Logan had already noticed the grim looks on their faces and knew it was bad news.
"Shoot!" Logan said before Darius began.
"My lord, regarding the task you gave me upon leaving two weeks ago I have returned with bad news. The creatures from the underworld has gotten leads and the witches are very much aware that my lady is attending a college in Zoarah city. They have also discovered her human name and it won't be long to track her down. My spies notified me that the witches has created a device that can track down anything in the human world but it is yet to be tested." Logan turns his head to the other two in the room and they both nod signalling that it was all they could gather.
Logan strokes his chin as it seems like he's in deep thoughts.
After a moment,he raises his head to look at his men.
"Increase the numbers of our guards and ensure that whenever Layla steps out she has bodyguards around her."
"One more thing. Make sure that they are skilled and experienced. I don't need useless people in this place. I'll handle the rest. Understood?"
"Yes, my lord!" They chorused before leaving.
As soon as they left he started making his plans to visit her parents. It's been a while since he last saw them.
The next day Logan decided to have a duel with Layla.
After her training with Milo she seems to be fit enough to fight him.
When they both had their breakfast, they both went to their respective rooms to change their clothes.
Layla emerges from the elevator looking stunning as always without makeup. In a simple shirt, trousers and boots. Her hair tied neatly in a high bun.
Logan on the other hand is also dressed similarly to Layla. His shirt highlighting his sharp features and handsome face.
Layla sees him and seems to get lost staring at him.
"Ahem." Logan fakes a cough to snap her out of her drooling.
"You've got drool at the corner of your lips"
"Huh?" She said as she wipes both corners to find them clean. She has been played!
"Silly! I wasn't drooling!" She said as she stomped her foot and walked away her ears turning red.
"Cute. Wait for me!" He said as he walked briskly to her.
On the training grounds.
The fight gets intense at each passing minute. No one's slacking or giving up. Dust and debris is seen flying in the air. Layla's hair is all messed up with a significant amount of sweat on her forehead.
Logan seems to be enjoying his time as not even a stand of hair on his head is out of place. Surely Layla is having a hard time. Although she can't match his strength, Logan knows that she's good. He knows that because of her bracelet she is limited in the fight. The bracelet has hidden most of her powers and she is almost like any human. Thus making her fighting skill unmatched to Logan's.
Logan sees from her stance, defense,attacks and movements that she is almost on par with him despite the limitations of the bracelet.
In the end Logan won after a fight that lasted two hours.
It's been weeks since the three unknown men went to her school. Finally they have leads. They could sense her powers! Due to her coming of age the bracelet couldn't hide much of her essence. Although it wasn't all visible. They just sensed traces of it.
Soon they discovered that Layla had a college friend named Betty.
They huddled together making plans on luring her out of hiding.
Logan's mansion.
Layla's phone continued to ring persistently as she was having a shower. She comes out after her bath and the phone begins to ring again.
"Is Betty. Is it something about school?" She muttered under her breath.
"Hello. Betty what's up?"
'Betty's' voice comes through the phone. "Layla something came up at school. The dean wants all the students at the main hall by 2pm sharp."
"2pm but this is 1:30 already. You could have told me earlier. You know I'm not living close to the school." Layla voiced her complaints.
"I'm sorry but I just got the information. I haven't been online so as soon as I checked my phone a friend of mine notified me." 'Betty' replied.
"Alright. I'll meet you at school. Let me get dressed." She said before hanging up.
Layla got dressed and asked the driver to take her to school.
On getting there she asks the driver to wait for her while she goes to the building. She enters the main hall only to find it empty. She brings out her phone to call Betty but the phone rings in the hall.
Surprised, Layla finds the phone on the window. In the moment of her distraction she gets knocked out.
The three men glanced at each other, nodding and then proceeds to carry her out.
