June 30, 2010, a girl, the name of Erlia, woke up to a typical Wednesday morning. She's 2 years old, her mother called her down for breakfast.

"Hey Erlia, come down! It's time for breakfast"

, so Erlia hopped down from her bed and went to the hallway, she then stood at the top of stairs and looked down, the kitchen was dark, and quiet, she was about to take a step, but then a pair of hands grabbed her, and pulled her back and covered her mouth. Erlia looked at the person that grabbed her, it was her mother, her real mother, and her eyes were teary, and bloodshot. And her mother said

"Don't go down there, Erlia, I heard it too."

Erlia's mother does her best to keep Erlia safe, yet Erlia is still a mere toddler, she always roams around the house, not knowing the problem that her bloodline has.

Just a week later, July 6, 2010, Erlia was in the kitchen, she was washing her hands, then the doorbell rang. It wasn't out of the ordinary, so Erlia walked to open the door expecting it to be her father but as she slowly got to the door, it struck her, Erlia's father was tall, and whenever her father was in front of the door, her father would make a shadow on the glass, but this time, there was nothing, so Erlia slowly walked back, yet the doorbell kept ringing again and again, so Erlia screamed, "Who are you?!", A voice answered "I'm no one", then the doorbell just kept ringing, again and again, faster and faster, but then, it came to an abrupt stop. Erlia poked her head out form the kitchen wall, and looked at the door, the doorknob twisted and the door opened, Erlia was frozen, yet it was her mother, Erlia gave a huge sigh of relief and hugged her mother, and went back to her room. Nothing much happened after that, until...

A year later, Erlia was going to Kindergarten alone, she passed the Science High School of their town, she looked at it, and just said, "Someday, I'll be going at that school", but then a voice passed her ears, "Yes, yes you will". It was a man's voice, a deep, toneless voice. Erlia looked around, yet there was only students, she shrugged it off thinking that she was just imagining it. So Erlia continued to walk towards her own school. But when she turned around, every single person looked at her, and said, " Erlia", Erlia was surprised of what she heard, and she was already on edge, so she just ran. And when Erlia got on her own school, a huge, cold gust of air passed her, and as it passed her, she again, heard the voice, and this time, it said " You brought the curse with you, and you have no idea, you, are the reason."

 

September 12, 2014, Erlia's birthday, her parents threw her a huge party, everything was going fine, but then at 7:00 PM that night, the speakers suddenly stopped. The operator quickly tried to fix it, but no matter what he does, nothing woks. A few minutes later, the speaker suddenly made a sound, and Erlia heard it, it was loud, and it said "Erlia, you will be the reason." Erlia looked around, yet everyone was just doing normal things, and the operator was still trying to fix the speakers, she was confused. So she went to her parents, and asked "Mom? Did you hear what the speakers just said?", and her mother, in a disturbed look said "Uh, no, it's broken". Then Erlia hid her fear and just said, "Oh okay, maybe it was just my imagination." A few hours later, Erlia went to her room and wanted to go to sleep, so she laid on her  bed and looked at the ceiling, and slowly dozed off.

At exactly 12:00 AM, Erlia suddenly woke up, she heard a thud on the ceiling, then another, and another, the thuds slowly developed into footsteps. Erlia was scared, she was paralyzed, yet she slowly pulled her blanket and covered her whole body. The footsteps on her ceiling would continue for the rest of the night. And Erlia just fell asleep after hours of anticipation. At 8:00 AM the next morning, Erlia woke up, the sound of footsteps was gone, so she stood up, ate breakfast and went on to her typical daily routine. At night, Erlia went to her bed, gone to sleep, and again, at exactly 12:00 AM, Erlia would wake up from the sound of a thud, that would slowly develop into footsteps. The same thing happened the next night, and the night after that. Erlia's parents noticed that Erlia had huge marks under her eyes, and Erlia is always tired, and her parents just asked, "Erlia, What's wrong?". Then Erlia would tell everything.
