THE CURSE

Chapter 1

12 years later...

I never had any friends since I was a kid. I even always got bullied by the kids who lived in the same orphanage as me.

My life is so pathetic, right?

But I do not care though, only a month left before I could get away from this hell. The only thing that I have been waiting for so long; to be accepted to get into Stanford University School of Medicine.

Anyways, I still wondered on how I got an account which provided the finance to further my studies until this stage.

It was so weird though. I even asked my guardian before if every orphans got the finance too, but she told me nothing.

I know there is something fishy about this. They must be hiding something, I am sure with it.

"Well....well well, Weird Girl," a girl with black t-shirt approached me as I was on my way towards the dorm. "Where do you think you're going, Four Eyes?" She blocked my way as I tried to walk pass by her.

I sighed heavily, "What do you want, Cecilia?"

She smirked with her right hand fully extended towards me, "Like always...give me your money..."

As you can see...she always asked me for money every single weeks. I know there was an account under my name, but it was only covered up for my studies not for my daily expenses. To be honest, the money that I got was from my part time job at the nearest coffee shop from this orphanage.

And all of she did is asked for it and will do something bad to me if I did not fulfil her request.

But the most pathetic thing right now is, I do not have any money on me. And if I tell her the truth, she would not believe me at all. I was not working my part time job last week, since I fall sick for the whole week after studied too hard for the entrance's exam.

"Helloo...." Cecilia flicked her hand right on my face which snapped me out from my thoughts. "I'm needing my money right now!"

Should I just tell the truth?

But what if she did something to me later on...I just don't want to have any trouble with her anymore.

I am tired with all of this.

"Hey!" she hardly grabbed my wrist. "Give me my money, now!" Her eyes were furious as she was looking at me. I was not sure why she desperately want my money and what she want to do when she got it for every weeks.

"I don't have any money..." I put a high hope that she will accept it this time. "I took the off days for the whole week last week, remember?"

"I don't care....I want my money right now, this instant," she insisted. "I know you hide it somewhere, don't lie to me, Weird Eyes."

I did not dare to face her at all. Her eyes really scared me much and I was so worried if she will harm me or something.

"Give it to me now!" She raised her voice that caused several other people looked at both of us.

But as usual, they just ignored us. All of us know that Cecilia can not be stop at all and she will get anything she want in any ways.

"Girls!" She shouted for her recruits since I kept insisted to not give her any money.

"Cecilia...Please, I'm telling the truth," I begged for her as saw her gang were walking towards the both of us. "I really have no money."

"That's it," Cecilia made her mind. "Take her to the back of the building..."

"No...Cecilia....no," I struggle hard to get away from her gang's grips but it was useless. They brought me to the backside of the building by forcefully dragging me while completely ignored my pleads.

My right knee and my palm were injured as they pushed me hard that caused me to fall on the pavement full of small stones. The warm red liquid was coming out from the injured areas and it hurt so much since there were some of the small stone stuck on it.

"Search her..." Cecilia who was standing with her arms crossed instructed her gang. "I know she hid the money somewhere."

"N-no...no, I really do have no money. Please...." the tears kept flowing out of my eyes while I was begging for them to stop what they were doing.

Cecilia's gang were pulling my hair and even slapped me hard on the face. I could felt the taste of metal when the warm liquid was coming out from my lips.

"S-someone please h-help me...." my voice cracked with the tears kept flowing from my eyes. My injuries hurt so badly and I could not do nothing about it.

Fine, you can call me weak. That's what I am and hoping for someone to help me in this kind of situation even though I knew there will be nobody who is willing to help me.

They almost to rip my clothes when the heavy footstep suddenly approached us and it was from the above to be exact. To be exact, it sounded like that person was jumping from the tall building on my right side.

Both of my eyes were blurring so much and I could not see what was happening at that moment. The only thing which I could hear was the loud screaming and someone who fall on the pavement.

Girl 1: N-no....please don't! *screams*

Girl 2: H-helpp...

Cecilia: Run....girls....run!!!

I tried to get up but I was so weak. My whole body was hurting much and I could not move at instead just lying there on the ground.

《Aiden Hale》

I know I heard someone's voice, so I rushed towards that direction by using my supernatural power. Actually I rarely used it on case someone might see me, but this was different. The voice sounded familiar to me and I knew I have to find it as fast as I can.

The blood smelled stronger and stronger as I arrived at one of the tall building not too far from the place where I was.

This building....

The orphanage!

I swiftly ran towards the backside of the building and saw two teenagers were laying on the ground with their bodies covered with blood.

I did not hear any heartbeats from the two of them, but only one weak heart beat which was coming from the girl who was laying a bit far from them.

I rushed towards the girl and was shocked because that girl was the little girl who I met 12 years ago.

The hazelnut hair girl who has the same face as Mia, my old friend.

Oh and coincidentally she has the same name too as my friend's.

Mia Thompson.

She was badly injured especially her right knee and palm. Her blood smelled stronger and I know that thing who harmed both of the teenagers still here.

Luckily I came here fast, or I might lose Mia again.

The footsteps approached me from behind, and I could sense it was no human, but the filthy vampire who sucked the innocent human's blood.

I tightened my fist then slowly turned to my backside so I could face that vampire.

"Well well well, look who is here," the vampire which his lips covered by blood spoke out along with a smirk. "The lonely werewolf, Aiden Hale."

"Shawn..."

To be continue....
