*SWITCHED*

Chapter 4

*Ancient times*

A throbbing pain hit Enola as she groaned. it was dark in front of her eyes. she wanted to open them but the weight on them didn't allow her to.

Suddenly she felt someone calling her name in distance but as the time passed the voice got closer to a point that she felt the source of voice was sitting close to her.

Whose voice is this? How does this person knows my name?

she asked herself.

it wasn't a familiar one which sacred her.

was she kidn*pped?

suddenly the weight of her eyes got lifted as she opened her eyes only to finds herself in an unfamiliar surroundings.

"Enola!" once again she heard her name being called and she snapped her head towards the source only to find an old lady sitting near her with a concerned look on her delicate wrinkled face.

"Where am i?" Enola questioned trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her head.

She was about to touch her head when the Lady grabbed her hand stopping her

"Don't touch or it shall hurt more" the lady said before getting up and doing something which looked like she was mixing few liquids

"Care to answer my question?" Enola asked

The lady sighed and replied with her back facing Enola

"You got your head hurt in the restaurant and was bleeding non stop. i happened to be near by and helped you as your friend was really panicking!"

Enola's eyes widened as she realized Grace wasn't any where near sight.

she looked around worried but before she could do anything the lady noticed her distress and said

"Your friend is fine. she was with you the whole time until the night fall and i insisted on her leaving because her family would be worried"

The sentence her Family would be worried tore Enola's heart like a silk fabric being ripped due to falling on cactus

Enola was an orphan ever since she remember. she never felt love and warmth if family. Once Grace invited her to have dinner with her family.

Enola isn't the type of person who gets jealous epically from her friends but after seeing how much Grace family loved and doted on her she felt envious of her.

The woman noticed the look on Enola's face and she sighed deeply

i am sorry darling you have to go through this but you need to take over your duty.

she apologized to the poor kid in her mind but as much as she wanted to tell her she didn't. she can't bear to mess up.

Pushing away the thoughts the lady turned and walked towards Enola and handed her a glass filled with liquid

Enola gave the liquid a glare and said

"i don't assume it to be sweet juice"

"It's a tonic. would help with your head"

The lady replied

Enola took the glass and gulped it down in one go

"So.... you are ?" Enola asked making the woman froze for a moment

Well that's weird

"I am...Abigael"The old lady said

"and you are a doctor?" Enola questioned

Abigael thought for a second before nodding

"Why did you help me?"

Enola asked

"something a doctor should do!"

Abigael replied and mentally giving herself an Oscar for acting skills

Enola didn't questioned her as her answer made sense

"when can i leave?" Enola asked

"When do you wanna leave?" Abigael asked

"now!" Enola replied

Abigael stared at Enola for a while and thought something deeply

"Well wait then for a while and let me prescribe you some medicines" Abigael said and left

This woman is weird

Enola thought.

it was best for her to leave quickly.

Enola got up and looked around trying to find a source to get out and her eyes fell on the window

she walked towards it and opened it

Jackpot!

she said as the window wasn't high at all.

she jumped down and gained her balance

ignoring the pain in her head she started running away from the place.

inside the same room Abigael returned with some medicines and an old weird clock in her hands.

She wasn't surprised to see Enola had ran away

sighing she walked up to the window and looked outside. she was left with no other choice but to force them.

"I am sorry my children! but i have to do this .it can't be delayed any further"
