A child blessed with a curse

THE CURSE OF AN IMMORTALITY(VOL:1)
CHAPTER 1:A child blessed with the curse(PART-I)
In the city of Crimson leaf , there once lived a 16 years old kid who was very happy or ,was he? He lived with his parents who were never home on daytime. His parents had a family business and they were always very busy on that , working till late at night. They used to arrive home very late at night.

Once when they were returning home after their job, they saw around 9 kids standing on the bridge , not just on the bridge but around the corner of the bridge. They stopped the car from far way and focused the headlight of the car to those kids. Then they saw all the kids jumped from the bridge to the river. That was a mass suicide they just encountered .That was some frightening expererience for Mr andMrs Walt . They both called the cops afterward. Mrs walt was afraid, her son was alone at home , she couldnot think of anything else. Mr walt was a responsible citizen he wanted to wait till the cops arrive. For some reason Mrs walt also agreed to do so. They both went to search some help but there were no houses around, no vehicles passing by, nothing at all.

11:34 the cops arrived. All of them went to the site. It was summer ,there was no water in river. They found 8 deadbodies in total. Mr walt wanted to see the faces of deadbodies and so did Mrs walt. They looked very frightened. The policeman there just thought that they want to help police to recognize the body.

One by One policeman focused the light of torch in the deadbodies as it was very dark at the riversite. One by One Mr and Mrs walt saw the faces of deadbodies. 3 deadbodies passed it's forth they're looking to. "I dont recognize any faces of these," said Mr walt very calmly. The fifth body was a little far. They moved towars the body. The fifth body's face was unrecognizable and seemed the face directly hit a big rock when it fell. Its face was ripped apart from the mouth, eyeballs were fallen off from the eye, and the nose was flat, disgusting to even look at. "They fell from 700 meters of height .That was expectable," said the policeman. Now the faces of Mr and Mrs walt were very red and they couldnot look at that body for even split two seconds. "Are you sure you want see the next body ," asked the policeman. They were afraid but they were ready. They moved to the sixth body . Policeman slowly focused light on the face. Mr and Mrs walt were shocked. That was a person they knew. Mrs walt's eyes were covered in tears.Mr walt was more frightened than ever. Then they looked to the other bodies. The only dead person they knew there was the sixth body. It was one of the freind of their's son but they didnt tell it to the police. They were very frightened till the last moment.

One of the policeman assisted them to reach their home. It was around 3 am . Mr and Mrs walt were standing at the door of their house and the policeman, he was gone. Mrs walt started crying again and said," I am afraid." "So am i ," said Mr walt.

Mrs walt noded her head sidewise and said,"I am afraid that the fifth body which face was unrecognizable is....."-------"is what? Is our son?" asked Mr walt.

Mrs walt started crying loudly. Mr walt opened the main door and rushed in the house.Mrs walt followed him. They reached to the room of their son ."Please knock the door before opening it" was written on the door. But as if they were gonna knock the door this time they just slowly opened the door and found out that their son was sound asleep in his room. They closed the room. Mrs walt stopped crying. They both were calmed and trying to sleep in their livingroom thinking that their boy was safe. But little did they know.........................

Mrs Walt was lying on a sofa and Mr walt on another. They both were trying to sleep but how could they after such a horrible encounter. Mrs walt was still on a trauma. It was as if her mind was also numb along with her body. Mr walt was however trying to calm himself as he continiouly saw the face of his son's freind infront of his eyes, how that kid and his son were on the roof last weekend flying a kite and enjoying their time. Mr walt facing towards the ceiling, slowly whispered," How the hell did it happen? That kid looked happy last time."

"Are you talking about ,John" Mrs walt asked. "Is it his name ?" asked Mr walt and slowly turned his face towards his wife. It seemed Mrs walt was more concerned about the boy than Mr walt. "My mind goes numb everytime I try to think about that boy" said Mrs walt. "Do you know who his parents are?" asked Mr walt. "No i dont but our son might ," said Mrs walt. "Thank god he is safe," said Mr walt. They both then patiently waited for the morning for their son to wake up.

Patiently waiting for their son to wake up, they didnt realise they fell asleep. Morning 7:30, ray of light from the window waked up both of them. Mr walt seemed alot tired. "Hasn't our son woke up yet,"asked Mrs walt. There was no sign of him in the kitchen, neither in the bathroom nor in the roof. Then they both went to check in his room. Their son used to wake up very earky but this day it seemed a bit bizarre. They climbed up the stairs and reached the second floor. As soon as they reached near the room their son opened the door and appeared infront of them.

Seeing him outside of his room in the morning Mr and Mrs walt couldnot look away from him not because they were very concerned about him last night but because his body was covered in blood. His left arm was broken. His neck was covered in the wound but surprisingly his wound didn't look very fresh but as if it was from ages ago. He didnt look like a normal kid at all.

Seeing her son soaked in the blood Mrs walt asked," What happened to you , Billyer?" with very frightened face. "Its non of your concern, just go to work already , arent you getting late", Billyer said with very disgusted face. Mr walt asked politely" Tell us what happened to you ,Billyer . Who did this to you? You look hurt. We're concerned about you." Billyer said" Why does it matter? Its not like you're my real dad. Just leave me alone." Mrs walt shouted,"we're concerned about you?" Billyer said to Mrs walt with very soft tone," NO you're not. You never were." ( On the whole conversation it seemed as if they had forgotten what had happened last night including the boy named John then suddenly Mr walt remembered something)

Seeing the condition of Billyer, Mr walt made an assumption and said ," you look like you fell from the height of 700 meters. If i remember correctly i saw around 9 kids on the bridge before they all jumped but we found only 8 bodies on total. It took us about 50 minutes to go and take a look at the riverside. That's a lot of time for someone to escape from there. But only if the person is still alive after falling from the height of 700 meters and thats impossible. From the look of your wound on your neck it seems you did jump from the bridge but the wound also dont look very fresh. It means your wound is healing , you are healing very fast. You're not someone like us at all. It means there's a high chance you are an ....... you are an immortal." Mr walt didn't speak like a concerned dad at all but more like a detective. Mr walt just excitingly ignored those around him and said," You are blessed my son. You are blessed with an immortality. You are one of the very superior creature living in this world. You are meant to be in this world for like an eternity , you'll never die , your existence will be cherised for an eternity. "

With the excitement Mr walt spoke about his son and immortality made Billyer feel more disgusted. He just wanted to die . He didnt jump from the bridge to check whether he was immortal or not. He had no interest in being the most supreme creature of the world. He just wanted to die. He always thought how miserable his life was, his life hold no meaning at all , his parents never had enough time for him, he was always left alone at home with nothing to play with, he barely made one freind, who also only came to visit him once/ twice in a month.

Last week, his freind John had just came and tried to convince him to commit suicide with him. When Billyer felt like he wasnot the only one feeling miserable and wondering that his life hold no meaning at all , when he realised there are seven more people excluding his freind John, who feel exactly like him and they are from the same town , he decided he will also jump from the bridge and just kill himself. In the perception of Billyer for the person who dont want to live at all, immortality was more like a curse rather than a blessing. So when his foster dad called it a blessing he felt more miserable considering how even his own family dont understand him well.

While Mr walt was feeling excited on raising one superior creature and Billyer was feeling miserable there was another person standing there like a statue, Mrs walt. Her body and mind was all numbed but she was the only person concerned about the real situation they were in. Eight boys from the town has just committed suicide and died but her son has came alive. She wasnot quite sure whether to be happy that her son is alive or to be sad that her son wants to die. She wanted to ask to Billyer why he wanted to die so badly but she just couldnot. After taking some time Mrs walt asked with the same frightened expression ," Do you know who John's parents are?" Billyer replied,"He dont have any parents."
