Death's Bride

Recent Predicament

My name is Morrigan Hawksmoor, and everyone around me says that I am cursed. My mother believes that I am the reason why my twin sister lost her eye at birth. They found my right hand inside her eye, and everyone saw it as a terrible omen.

My mother abandoned me when I was only three days old, leaving me in the care of my grandmother. My father never talked to me much either, although we all lived under the same roof. He always gave me strange looks, and I think he wanted to say something to me, but he never did.

The kingdom of Valletta has been through many calamities since the day I was born. A red blood moon appeared in the sky, and people linked it to my birth. But how could it be only my fault? After all, I had a twin sister too.

People despise me, even my twin sister despises me now. They say she is different from me and better than me. But I love Alina more than anything in this world, and I would do anything to prove it.

Mother says that Alina would be prettier if it wasn't for what happened at our birth. She says that it's all my fault that our family is cursed. But how could a baby be held responsible for something like that?

I don't know if writing this down will change anything, but I needed to get it out of my chest. Maybe someday things will get better, or maybe they won't. All I can do is keep living with the weight of the curse on my shoulders.
