Everyone told them: "no"; because they weren't human... because they were different.
They knew it was not love but fear.
They were not angels, but the fruit of a terrible curse.
That's why they had to hide their true identities to be able to live without being rejected by society.
Alas, when the truth came out, it was already too late for me
The story I'm going to tell you is about my past life... My memories, from my childhood to adulthood, and especially the funny mysteries that were enthroned around me about my friends.
It all started when I was only five years old, in 1990...
That day, all my family members were preparing for our move.
My father was still a journalist at that time. He had managed to land a job offer for an indeterminate period in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as much as a television news editor.
Which didn't bother me at all...
I didn't want us to leave!
- But Cassandra... why do you want to stay?, asked my father.
- Grandma told me that we would never come back; so I won't be able to see my best friend Alice again!, I said to my father sadly.
- But no, darling! We will come back from time to time to visit your uncle Barry and on each holiday you will come to her house if you wish. She can also come to our house during the holidays, you know...
- Really ?, I asked my father with a big glimmer of hope in my eyes.
- Of course yes, my little darling!, he said to me to reassure me.
But my father had lied to me.
In reality, my uncle Barry had sold the house where we lived.
This was one of the main reasons my father made the decision to move to another city.
My father wanted to be away from him... Forever if it would have been possible for him.
My uncle had betrayed us in the worst possible way by selling all of my father's inheritance without anyone's consent. He had also filled my father with debt.
But I was still just a child.
I was unaware of all the trouble my uncle had caused us. It was only later that I learned about it from my sister...
I thought we would come back one day. So I didn't insist on staying because I believed everything I was told even if most of it was lies.
Then anyway, with or without my agreement, we were already obliged to leave.
We were already preparing two good weeks before the agreed date of the move so as not to forget anything by chance.
When all our stuff was packed up and put in a big truck; I had left the house which was now completely empty.
A girl who seemed to be the same age as was then approaching me. Seeing me she ran to walk towards me accompanied by a big smile on her lips.
- Cassandra!, she said to me before hugging me, I'm going to miss you a lot, she said to me.
This girl was my best friend Alice.
