Forever Cursed

In the desolate silence of the abandoned house, a dim light struggled through tattered curtains, casting feeble shadows on the cracked walls. The air, heavy with dust, hung in stillness, as if time had halted within the confines of the room. A neatly made bed, its sheets untouched by time, stood against one wall, while a solitary chair sat next to a small, weathered desk adorned with forgotten trinkets. The floor, despite the neglect, retained a peculiar tidiness, as if an unseen caretaker had diligently maintained the room's order amidst the decay. The remnants of a life once lived lingered, encapsulated in the eerie tranquility of this forgotten space. In this abandoned place, there once lived a couple. They loved each other, but others didn't. A ruthless creature has made its way inside their place at night. And in the tapestry of fate, it wove the threads that silenced two lives. These two souls have been lingering in the air. A little girl, after taking her first steps, got abandoned by her own parents for no apparent reason nearby the house. The poor little girl started crying once she noticed she was all by herself. The souls who never left the place heard the girl's crying and happy to see a baby thought of taking care of her. As weird as it is, she has grown with them, learning to call them 'mom' and 'dad'. These, somehow weren't just souls, she could touch them, she could hug them, she could talk to them and get responses. Even though, while growing up through the years, they started showing up less and less, to a point where she could only see them when she's sad or extremely lonely. ༺ღ༒ she's now 17༒ღ༻ ???? It's been so lonely in here.. nothing to do, nowhere to go, mom and dad have been so busy lately, I barely see them anymore.. I really just want someone to keep me company, a friend.. would mom and dad get mad? They said people are mean.. and 'friends' are fake liars who will use me. All I've been doing is read ever since I can remember, it's fun, there are so many books here, if any kind. I started reading a new one lately.. romance.. if that what's they call it. The two protagonists seem to be so in love, like mom and dad! They told me of how everyone was jealous of their love. That was why their,friends' were the ones who probably hurt them... my parents are so weird. One second they're in front of me and the next they're in the back of the room, like tele—portation or teletransportation? I don't know if this is what they call it. I've read it somewhere but couldn't really get the hang of it, I only understand that people do it using their mind.i wonder why I can't do it... some times I wonder if I'm really their child. If I had a pen and a paper I would be able to at least write down new words and meanings! I wouldn't feel so stupid all the time.. I was on my bed, reading. Only the moon light shining over me and my book pages, there aren't lamps here, but the sun and moon light is probably a 100x better. The book I was reading talks about weird creatures, they're not human for sure, they have fangs, pointy ears and their skin is very pale and cold, but not in a sick way. Actually, it seems they barely even get sick. They don't sleep in normal beds, but in coffins..? They don't even actually sleep. They only rest their eyes and body. They're called vampires. I have no clue wether they're real or not. Or if they're really as dangerous as the book says. I was hoping to ask mom or dad, but they're nowhere in sight.. though.. I look up from my book, it's a bit dark now. Jokes aside, I'm immersed in darkness. The moon seems to have lessened its shiny light of quite a lot. I look around, trying to spot my parents, but I still don't see them. Instead.. there's a 7 feet tall figure in the corner of my room, a dark shadow that seems to be staring at me. I'm scared but still, I don't bat an eye. We keep eye contact for several minutes, not once breaking it. I take in his tall figure, he looks herculean, he's so still as if I'm imagining things. But he blinks for a second, my eyes adjust and he takes a step forward, I jolt back and he stops. He.. illuminated by the slight light looks normal though? He's got mesmerizing green eyes.. fluffy brown hair, sharp features, lips so soft that make me want to— what am I thinking. There's a stranger in my room and my mind leads me to think of kissing him?! I shake my head and it seems this started the man. ༻꫞꯭ the end for now ꫞꯭༺
