1 New Life

"It feels good to be lost in right directions"

The luxurious cruise named Rocky is sailing on the ocean waters. It's almighty look is feast for one's eyes.

There is a beautiful girl standing at the front deck of the cruise wearing a yellow mini dress. She is wearing sunglasses and paired the dress with white studs, white shoes and a cream hat.

The ocean breeze is cool, salty, and refreshing. She removed her hat and stood on railings with her hands wide open, the breeze blowing on her face making her hair flutter in the air.

She inhaled the fresh ocean breeze and got lost in her own world. Maia is a 25 year old girl, a veterinarian and a traveller. She achieved so many awards for her outstanding service to the animals.

She loves travelling a lot from her childhood. She came from a wealthy family but her parents died when she was very young. Her grandfather also died when she turned 18 years old.

After that she avoided her relatives like plague and she only had animals as her family. She strongly believes that animals are the most trusted beings in this world. So to treat these innocent living beings she studied medicine and became a veterinarian.

She started doing so many activities, and raised funds for the welfare of animals. She bagged 2 prestigious awards for her enormous support to animals.

Apart from this she had a dream to travel around the world. So whenever she has an opportunity she travels around the world. She covered most of the famous countries whenever she went for a speech or seminar on the welfare of animals.

Currently she took a break to enjoy her time from her work. She went on a vacation on cruise this time to visit the islands.

She is finishing her trip and this is the last day of the trip. She needs to go back to the airport and the next day she will return to her homeland.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and tried to open her eyes, but before she opened her eyes she felt like she was floating in the air.

She snapped her eyes open and got to know that she was falling down from the cruise. But how?

When she was immersed in her own thoughts, the cruise hit something and it shook the cruise violently. Maia who is standing on railings got lost on her footing and fell down.

SPLASH

Maia felt like it was a dream, in no time she was going deep into the ocean. Before she recognizes what is happening she is already sinking deep down in the ocean and she feels like something is dragging her down.

Fear crept all over her body and her breathing hitched. She doesn't know what to do. She wants to escape from this, she wants to swim but nothing is happening. She felt like someone tied her up and before she knew darkness slowly started swallowing her.

'No no no no. Someone save me. Please save me. I don't want to die.' Maia shouted in mind and before she lost consciousness she felt some strong hands wrapped around her waist.

Maia felt very weak, she never experienced this kind of pain in her head. She is trying very hard to endure but the pain is killing her.

'What? Did I die already? But what is this feeling? I am feeling like I'm burning and my body is too weak to even lift my hand.' Maia thought to herself.

Maia's thoughts are interrupted when she hears some faint voices.

"How is she feeling now, doctor? Why is she not waking up yet?" a sweet and worried voice heard by Maia.

'Who is this? Whose voice is this? Who is worried about me? Am I rescued by the cruise members?' Maia had so many questions on her mind.

"Don't worry Mrs.Dalton. She has a weak body and also she was frightened. She will wake up soon." the doctor replied.

'What is this doctor speaking? I have great physical strength and I work out daily. How come I have a weak body? Is he really a doctor? But wait, who is Mrs.Dalton? I never heard of this name before.'

"Thank You Doctor. Ronald see the doctor out" the sweet and worried voice was now laced with strictness.

"Yes Mother" a male husky and deep voice replied.

'Gosh, what is happening around me. Why the hell am I not able to open my eyes? This fu*king pain is getting higher and higher.' Maia cursed in her mind before losing her consciousness.

Maia opened her eyes slowly, she tried to adjust the light in the room. The room was not heavily lit but this light is making her blind because of long sleep.

Maia tries to wake up but her body is not supporting her. She struggled a lot to just sit. She leaned over the headboard and took deep breaths while sweat beads appeared on her forehead.

'God, why is it very difficult to just sit. Did I get seriously injured or what?' Maia thought and looked down on her body and her eyes widened with shock.

'When did my body turn like this? Why is it so pale and so. So.. small?'

'And what is this strange dress? Why am I wearing a long dress while sleeping? Which idiot changed my clothes? But I don't have this kind of dress?'

Maia is laced with white dress.

'Whose room is this? I don't remember having this kind of room on cruise and why the hell the cruise is not moving? I don't feel any movement of cruise?'

Maia observed the room decor. The room is very beautiful. The room is colored with white and lavender. The vase, flowers, and chandelier are screaming wealth. The paintings hanging on the wall are picturesque arts and added much elegance to this room.

When she turned to her right side she found a full length mirror and she found another girl on the mirror. Maia observed the girl for quite some time.

The girl in the mirror has eternal beauty, but her skin is pale and her body is skinny. Despite that her black eyes are beautiful, they are clear and bright. She had long silver hair with a pointed nose and delicate rosy lips. She seems innocent and elegant.

Maia smiled seeing the girl and the girl in the mirror also smiled back which shocked her and Maia lifted her hand to say hi and the girl in the mirror also raise hand at the same time.

Maia blinked her eyes and realized it was her which scared her to death and screamed.

'AHH !!!!"

"Ghost"

The bedroom doors burst open and a woman came running towards her.

"Aivyn , what happened dear?"

'Aivyn . WHO?'
