Episode 4
Kaila opened her eyes and then sprang up from bed, breathing heavily.
She looked round the area. It looks like she was sleeping on a bed in a room, the room looked small but still cosy…
Memories of what happened to her back then came flashing in her brain, how she was sold, raped, and then how the fire consumed her body.
She climbed down the bed and checked herself out on the mirror.
She gasped in shock as she saw the same birth mark at the exact place she saw it on the girls face.
She checked herself out and there was no burns on her body. She looked at her bracelet and it was now red instead of blue.
“What’s happening to me?” She asked to no one in particular.
She flinched as she heard a knock on her door. She slowly walked to the door and opened it.
“Finally girl, you’re awake. Do you know you where sleeping for so long?” The girl said.
Kaila looked at her confused. Who is she?
“Uhh, who are you?” Kaila asked.
The girl chuckled lightly…
“Stop goofing around Ela, really it’s not time to be joking?” She said as she walked in the room and drew open the curtains.
Kaila stared at her confused.
“I’m serious, who are you?” Kaila asked with a serious expression on her face.
The girl turned to her with a confused expression on her face.
“You really don’t know who I am?” She asked and Kaila shook her head.
“I’m Nina, your best friend. We live here together. How come you forgot about me? Are you okay?” She said checking her temperature.
*Nina, I’ve never met someone called Nina in my life* She thought.
She quickly walked to the window and opened it. She gasped as she saw a completely different place from hers…
She began assembling the puzzles and gasped as she finally understood everything…
*I’m in the body of my look alike, how is that possible?* She thought…
She turned to the girl called Nina and looked at her confusedly.
“Nina, I have to tell you something” She said.
They both sat down and she narrated everything to her. Nina looked at her not able to believe what she’s telling her.
“So you mean you are not my best friend but you’re just her look alike. You took possession of her body” Nina asked and Kaila nodded.
“Oh my God” Nina exclaimed with her brain all mixed up..
“Please, I need to know everything about the person who I’m in her body” Kaila asked.
“Well your name is Angela Rodriguez, you’re 25 years.
Your mother died while giving birth to you and ever since that day you lived in an orphanage, you never got to know your father.
We met at the orphanage and from that day we became the best of friends. We both work as cook in a fancy restaurant” Nina narrated.
Kaila nodded and sighed…
*Why I’m I back in this body, is life giving me a second chance?* Kaila thought…
“Um Kaila” Nina called with her head down.
“Yes?” Kaila replied…
“I know you aren’t my Angela but please can I call you Angela. And also can we be friends” She asked with her head down…
Kaila smiled and suddenly hugged her…
“Sure Nina, you can call me Angela all you want. Best friends?” Kaila asked.
Nina smiled.
“Best friends” She replied.
*Angela, looks like your plan worked* Nina thought…
They sat down and Nina explained everything to her, where they are and the different people she knows…
Nina gasped.
“I completely forgot the reason why I came here. Quick get ready, we’re gonna be late for work” Nina said and rushed out of the room.
*She reminds me a lot of namesake* She thought.
Her mood changed as she thought about Kaila James…
She shrug the thought away and stood up then walked to her small wardrobe and picked out something to wear.
*I still have to figure out all what’s happening to me* She thought.
She picked out a yellow gown and then changed into it. She packed her hair in messy bun and then wore a flat shoes.
She walked out of her room and looked round the house. The house was pretty small but compared to her former house, it’s better.
*Looks like Angela too is poor* She thought.
Nina walked out of a room dressed too…
“You look beautiful” Kaila said…
“Stop teasing me, you’re way much more prettier than me” Nina said.
She held her hand and they walked out of the house. Her mood changed as she thought about Paulina and Mindy.
*Maybe life gave me a second chance, a chance to make you pay for what you guys did to me.
I don’t know how I’ll do it but I’ll make sure you pay for it.
Kaila Morgan is dead in those flames, now it’s Angela Rodriguez.
Till we meet again* She thought as a drop of tear fell from her eyes.
