The Rebirth Of The Goddess Of Death And Destruction

In the middle of a thick, foggy forest, a young lady was running as fast as she could, frightening and looking back in fear. She was panting so heavily, her chest rising and falling as she tried to find her way through the dark night as she was guided only by the brightness of the full moon. Every time she looked back, she saw the horrible creature still chasing her, running fast as well. Her cries echoed through the forest as she screamed for help, but no one was around to hear her.

The creature chasing her was really terrifying. His entire body was covered in rough hair. He looked irritating and frightening, with one eye glowing blue like sapphire and the other glowing yellow like fire. When the lady turned around again to check how close he was, she tripped over a log and fell to the ground. She tried to get up, but her leg failed to move. She burst into tears, shivering in fear as the monster walked slowly towards her.

"Please... don't hurt me" she sobbed as she crawled backwards in fear while the beast came closer.

"I found you" the monster growled in a deep voice. Just as it reached out to touch her, the lady let out a loud cries.

"Nooooo!" she shouted and suddenly jolted awake, back to reality. She had been dreaming. The cab driver was gently tapping her on the shoulder.

"Sorry, miss. We've arrived at your destination, but you were fast asleep. That's why I tapped you" the driver explained "This is Morgan University Hospital"

"Oh! Thank you" Regina said, now breathing slowly. She alighted from the car and walked to the back to bring down her two pieces of luggage. The driver drove off as she rolled her bags toward the large gate in front of her. Just then, her phone rang and she answered it immediately.

"Cara, I just got here" Regina said, tucking her golden hair behind her ear.

"I just wanted to check on you, birthday girl" Cara said from the other end. "I'm at work, and so far I'm being treated well, all thanks to the first lady's recommendation."

"I hope I'll be treated well here too" Regina said.

"There's a new guy at the office. He's cute" Cara said, giggling.

"Cara, you just started working there last week. Don't be distracted by some cute guy. Remember what the matron always told us?" Regina said.

"We're adults now, Gina. I can have a boyfriend if I want to" Cara said.

"Let's talk later, Cara. I have to go" Regina said and ended the call.

She rolled her bags into the compound of the biggest hospital in Vanceney State, in the Country, Alcantra. As she walked in, a female doctor rushed past her, wiping away tears.

"Hi, please can you show me the way to the admin block?" Regina asked with a friendly smile.

"It's that way. Sorry, I'm in a rush" the doctor answered while still wiping her tears.

"Are you okay?" Regina asked, noticing how sad she looked.

"I'm a new doctor. I arrived last week. But my uncle's wife that I'm staying with told me I only have a week left to stay at her place. I haven't earned anything yet to rent my own apartment" she explained sadly.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. You can stay with me. Let me get your contact" Regina said, and they exchanged contact.

"I'm Samantha Bush" the doctor said, smiling faintly.

"I'll come and find you once I'm done with my meeting" Regina told her.

"You're so kind. We just met and you're offering me a place to stay" Samantha said, a bit surprised.

"It's nothing. I need a friend actually" Regina said warmly. "Thanks anyway."

"I'm in the anesthetics department. I need to go now" Samantha said.

Regina smiled and nodded as Dr. Samantha walked away. She then walked to the admin block as it was clearly labeled. She knocked on the office door.

"Come in" a voice answered from inside and Regina entered with her luggage.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm here to see Mrs. Frankfurt" she politely said.

"Your name, please?" the woman asked.

"Regina Coles, from Kalcuta" she answered.

"Oh, you're the one recommended by the first lady of Kalcuta. Come with me, the director has been waiting for you" the woman said, standing up and leading the way.

"Director?" Regina said, frowning slightly as she followed her.

"Yes, Mrs. Frankfurt is the director of the university hospital" she said.

In the hospital, inside the CEO's office, a lady walked in, closed the door behind her, and sat opposite the man behind the desk.

"Kate, what was that you were saying on the phone? Why the sudden change of mind?" CEO Morgan asked.

"Dad, you wanted me to become the chief surgeon after Dr. Cyprus leaves, right? That can only happen if I become a neurosurgeon by joining the department" Kate said.

"He's resigning, as you already heard" CEO Morgan said.

"That's what you don't know. There's a new neurosurgery resident, and Granduncle is now insisting Dr. Cyprus stays because of her. Who does she think she is?" Kate said bitterly.

"But you've already signed up for another department. And you know neurosurgery is the hardest one" her father reminded her.

"I'll be fine, Dad. Trust me. Just call Dr. Cyprus and tell him I'll be working with him. I'm ready to compete with that girl. She can't just show up from nowhere and get the position after D. Cyprus leaves. It's my position as the heir" Kate said confidently.

"Alright, I'll call him" her father agreed.

"Thanks, Dad. But what will you tell Granduncle?" Kate asked.

"I'll find something to say. He'll be happy you're moving into a tougher department" the CEO assured her.

"But Granduncle doesn't like favoritism. I don't meet the standard for neurosurgery" Kate said, pointing out.

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell him what he wants to hear" he said.

Back in the director's office at MUH, Regina and Mrs. Thompson entered one of the beautiful offices and approached a woman who focused on some documents.

"Mrs. Frankfurt, she's here" Mrs. Thompson announced.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Frankfurt" Regina greeted respectfully.

"Dr. Coles, welcome. Please, have a seat" Mrs. Frankfurt said as Mrs. Thompson stepped out.
