Chapter 1: The Genesis
Azalea's POV
I was walking down the street to my school, I love walking and it's just only 5 blocks away from where I am staying. As I walked down the street, neighbors will stare at me badly well, I am used to it ever since. It don't bother me at all. I don't have friends at all. I am just alone, you wonder why? I tell you why...
Back when I was only 11 years old, I am a normal kid with a normal life but that very day, it all changed instantly. "Hey Anna, where are you going?" I asked. "Just there," she answered and she pointed the other side of the street exactly to the person standing and waiting for her. "Hey, just stay please. Please Anna." I beg her. My heart raced so fast as I looked at her and to the man and I don't know where it all came from, I saw what happened to her the moment she will go with the man. "Why? What's wrong? He's my uncle. He said he will fetch me and take me to my cousins." Anna said,looking confused. "N-nothing j-just never mind." I said lowered my gaze still worried and my heart keeps on racing so fast like I was running for miles. I let her go with her uncle. I just prayed for her safety. The night goes by and as I go to school in the morning,I noticed she is absent,well we're classmates since grade one. She's my bestfriend and she's the only friend I have coz I am introvert. I was worried again and then I saw her mother talked to our teacher, I don't know what they're talking. I just stayed here in my seat next to the window. As I turn to my left, I wanna cry coz Anna sits next to me and I blame myself why she was not around today. "Okay class, listen up!" Our teacher called our attention and I pay attention,as I roamed my eyes, I saw Anna's mother crying in the corner. I am so sorry, it's all my fault. "Your classmate Anna... She's missing. Let's help her family find her, if you know some information please let me know okay?" I thought that my world collapsed, I blamed myself for her death. If I just told her and stop her from going with her uncle, maybe she's here right now. I silently cried in my seat. All of our lessons for today never sinked in to my brain coz I'm still thinking bout Anna. I went home, I am staying with the sisters,yes I am a foster child. The sisters told me that they just saw me outside the center inside a basket sleeping peacefully. I don't know who and where are my parents really. As we arrived, I rushed to my room and cried so hard keep blaming myself for what happened to my only best friend. "Azalea? Are you there?" Someone called me outside the door. I did not answered, she keep on knocking but I don't wanna open the door, I just cried hugging my pillow. After awhile the door was opened, it was sister Sarah, she's the closest person I talked to here,she treats me like her own child and I love her. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?" She asked looked so worried and hugged me. "Sister,my bestfriend Anna..." I said keep on sobbing in her arms. "Why what about her?" She asked again. "She was missing and it's my fault... Sister, I don't know what's happening to me but yesterday as I looked at Anna and to her uncle, I saw the future that she will get r***d and killed by her uncle. Sister what's wrong with me, ah-I don't know what's going on,it's on my head I don't know where it came from and I'm worried that it made come true." I tell her sobbing. "Then why you blame your self?"
"Coz I never stopped her and never told her what will happen next... Sister am I a monster? I can see what's ahead, am I the only one who have this curse?"
"You are peculiar dear, and you are not alone." she told me, caressing my hair. "one day you'll find your comrades who possesses the same as you." she told me. She stand up and walk through the door and vanished to the corridors. And since that day, I keep on hoping and praying that I would meet them soon but as for now, I'll live alone and enjoy peacefulness. I already arrived at the campus and go straight mo my class, just another boring day ahead.
Time flies so fast and it's already lunch, I went to the cafeteria and order my favorite burger, fries, sundae and a bottle of Coke. I scan the room to find a perfect spot, I found an empty seat near the window so I headed there. I sit down and start eating my food and at the same time reading my notes for my next subjects. "Hi, mind to share your seat? I can't find any vacant spot. Is it fine with you?" she said. "no, I don't bother at all. Have a seat then." I said without looking to the person in front of me. I keep on scanning my notes and then she spoke. as I look at her, I thought she was talking to me but she have a buddy with her.
