Cursed - My Name Is Karma

CHAPTER 20

I scream loudly as I feel immense pain on my face. That’s why I don’t use the potion. The pain I am feeling right now is unbearable. It’s like my whole face is burning. It really is burning. I can’t even touch it because I don’t wanna get burned. I apparate inside the basement and I scream more when I bump my head into the wall.

I walk to the bathtub which is full of freezing pure water. I dive my head inside. I feel some relief instantly. I know this is just temporary and the minute I return to the surface, my face will go back to burning. I rise up, I stagger a bit till I fall down. I use my long index fingernail to cut through my palm and then let it fall on the ground.

Me: “per meum sanguinem, I…” wind fills the basement and dries my blood from the floor instantly. I frown and look up to, only to see the goddess of wind standing there looking as frustrated as ever.

Shana: “stop what you’re doing this instance your majesty. Sacrifial magic is never the answer. You know that the dark world will want more from you that a mere drop of blood.” I stand up feeling weak as ever. “Come with me.” she picks me up. She then apparate with me in the front lawn. She places me down. By now I am shivering and even blood is dropping from my face. I look up and see almost all the goddesses floating in the air.

Seruva: “why is she like this?”
Sabina: “it’s the consequences of using the potion. If she went to someone or somewhere else, she wouldn’t be like this. The journey to getting rid of the curse is not easy. This is only the beginning. There is still worse to come.”

Gaea: “but we have to help her.”
Empath: “the journey is long and hard but I feel happiness and love all the way.” Sabina steps forward and pours some water on my face. The burn and the bleeding stops. She then helps me drink some of them.

Sapphire: “you are going to be okay, Your Majesty.” I feel my body getting heavy and within a few moments, I pass out.

I groan and open my eyes. Sibabalwe is moving up and down my room. She places a tray of food in the table and then stands back to admire her work of art. I chuckle and she jumps up startled. She places her hand on her chest.

Sibabalwe: “holy shit, you gave me such a scare. I found you lying in the front door. I think you passed out or something. So I carried you here. Gosh you are so heavy.” I chuckle and shake my head. She is one petite lady. I think she is a size 28 or 30, so I believe her when she says I am heavy. I climb off the bed and go sit on the chair and place my hands on the table.

Me: “is the food not shit today?” she laughs.
Sibabalwe: “I went out to buy some food using your card in that A-Class restaurant,” I smile and dig in. she sits opposite me and gets busy with her phone.
Me: “how long was I asleep?”
Sibabalwe: “you have been asleep since yesterday.” I nod and continue eating.

It is already night time. When I am done eating, I head to the bathroom to take a shower. When I am done, I come back to find her gone with the tray and my bed already made. I wear my pajamas and then head downstairs. I find her eating her own dinner. I go to my liquor cabin and take out a tequila. I place two tots on the counter. I pour the liquor and down the two shots very fast. I need some alcohol to help me get through the night. Siba walks in, her eyes pop out when she sees the liquor.

Siba: “are we drowning our sorrows?”
Me: “aren’t you underage?” she laughs and rolls her eyes.
Siba: “I am 3 years younger than you.”

Me: “you are young.” She takes one of the tots and I snatch it form her. “These are mine. Go take yours.” She chuckles and opens the cupboard. She takes out one tot. she then pours the tequila in her glass and downs the liquor. “Tell me about what you enjoy doing in your spare time.”

Siba: “I am good in math. So back home I used to post math quizzes to help students prepare for exams on a website I created. I also used to tutor math students from my town.”
Me: “that’s cool. Why didn’t you study education and become a math teacher?”
Siba: “there is no money in the teaching industry. I did Mathematical science.”
Me: “what is that degree of any use to the foundation?”

Siba: “it’s a start. I will gain the experience and I am happy that I will be working with girls. I can’t wait for the foundation to open. This will make such a big impact in most girls’ lives.”
Me: “what about your family? How do they feel about you moving here?”
Siba: “they are happy for me.” I nod and we continue drinking and talking about her life.

My mind keeps drifting to what Empath said to me. This means I am getting rid of the curse soon but I will go through a lot of challenges. I just hope nobody who is important will get hurt or will end up being a collateral.
