Cursed - My Name Is Karma

CHAPTER 10

NARRATED
Monte was coming back from his morning jog when a huge force came out of nowhere and hit him. He landed on the street light and passed out immediately. The goddess of darkness looked at him and smirked at her work. She felt her body boil and before she could turn around, a ball of fire hit her in the back and she fell down.

Sapphire: “you have no place here Nyx. What are you doing with the human?” the goddess gained her strength and stood up.
Nyx: “corvi de tenebris ad factorem tuum,” crows came to her and lifted her up. “I was just having a little fun with him but you spoiled it with you superhero bullshit.” Sapphire chuckled.

Sapphire: “how is it that Karma meets a human who is immune to her spells and all of the sudden the goddess of darkness pays the same human a visit? Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”

Nyx: “yeah. It was a mere coincidence.”
Sapphire: “now leave before I burn you to ashes.”
Nyx: “you know very well that I will rise like a phoenix.”

Sapphire: “but seeing you burn will bring pleasure in my eyes. Now leave Nyx.”
Nyx: “you’re no fun.” She disappeared with her crows. Sapphire nearly went near the human but she knew that he would literally burn to ashes.

Sapphire: “Gaea deam terris accerso.” The ground shook and Gaea, the goddess of earth appeared. She looked at sapphire and then looked at Monte lying on the ground. “You know what to do.” She then disappeared.

Gaea knelt down and picked up Monte. She then went inside his house. She placed him on the couch and then fed him some leaves. She then blew some air into his nose. He coughed. She then disappeared. He moved a little and then opened his eyes.

Monte: “what the fuck happened? How did I end up here?”

I shower and get dressed in shorts and a tank top with slippers. I go downstairs and find myself standing in front of a mirror. A little girl shows up in the mirror. She is crying and scribbling things up on her notebook. Next I am shown the girl growing into a teen. She is also crying. I see another talking crap to her and actually bullying her.

‘Abuser: “you are so dumb. You can’t even lie to your parents about little things like going to the park. You are such a loser. Arg just die already.” She walked away. The other girl sat down and cried. A guy approached her.

Guy: “hey big titties and ugly nose. What are you doing here sitting like an orphan and shit?” the girl stood up and walked away. “Hey I am talking to you. You can’t just walk away while I am talking. That’s some disrespect on another level.” She stopped for a few seconds and then continued walking away. “Arg whatever ugly Nelly. Nobody wants you anyways.”

Nelly was now all grown but she was still being abused by the same people who bullied her in her teen years. She now has a boyfriend but he also treats her shitty and abuses her emotionally every chance he gets. She jots down in her diary or notebook.’

Me: “ut exemplum mihi ullamcorper.” A copy of the notebook appears in my hand. I go to the library and sit on the couch. I open it and start reading it.

‘Dear Diary
Today is my birthday. I didn’t celebrate it like usual. I should be used to it now because it happens every year. Mom sent me a text message and a gift card like usual. She is a writer in North America. She chose to follow her career and let me behind. It hurts but I guess I am used to hurting. Nobody cares about my feelings.

It happened again today. Sindile came and threw multiple insults at me. This time she even added that nobody loves me. Even my mother ran away from me. She made me a laughing stock. She never gets tired of teasing and bullying me. I guess her power grows every time she abuses me. I hope one day she can just forget about me and live her own life.’

‘Dear Diary
Even in varsity, Sindile continues to torments me. This time I found her sitting with my so called boyfriend. They teased me about my big boobs and Sindile pointed out my nose. Together they laughed at me. They even attracted a crowd. Everyone laughed at me and a certain friend of Sindile captured the moment and posted it on the varsity’s students group. I am so humiliated and I wish I can just disappear from the face of the earth.’

I continue reading and my heart breaks with every entry. This Nelly has been through a lot. I hate bullies like Sindile because most of the time they are burying their insecurities by targeting weaker people. I place the notebook on the table and stand up. I go to the kitchen and eat my breakfast. I then go outside and frown when I see Sapphire and Gaea standing on the middle of my lawn.

Me: “what is it?” when two goddesses appear, it can never be good news.
Sapphire: “Nyx attacked a human few minutes ago out in the open.”
Gaea: “it’s the human that you ate with yesterday.” I frown and then remember having a surprise lunch date with Monte.
Me: “you mean Monte?”

Gaea: “yes. She hit him and he broke his spinal cord. But I healed him. If it wasn’t for Sapphire, Nyx would’ve gotten away with it.”
Me: “why him?”
Sapphire: “seems like the forces of darkness don’t want you getting close to any humans. If I wasn’t there, Nyx would’ve killed the human. I saw it in her eyes. She was on a mission to kill him.”

Me: “so what do we do to ensure that he is protected at all times?”
Sapphire: “pay Nyx a visit. If not so, I will take her straight to hell and torture her myself.” she then disappears. I look at Gaea.
Me: “you also think I should pay Nyx a visit?”

Gaea: “it’s all your call your majesty. You just need to do right by the human.” She also disappears. The Nyx poked a sleeping bear. I hope she is ready to feel my wrath.
