Rainy Days

Who am I? (Eralin)

"Eralin you're panicking, calm-"

"NO YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING!!"

"Stop screaming please, I know it sounds absurd but listen-"

"Do you even know what those words did to me!? If there is indeed a possibility that my parents would simply drop me for money that would mean they never really had genuine love for me! That would mean that I was born to be the main income for the Thorns family! Wait.....that actually makes so much sense...that's why they treated me like I was some sort of machine..."

At this point the whole room was spinning, I could fall down any moment, my vision was blurry and the volume of my voice slowly started decreasing, and I could only hear echoes of my uncles voice screaming my name. Then, everything flashed to black. 

I remember dreaming, I dreamed about a girl...she had beautiful long braided pink hair, the exact same color as mine. She wore edgy clothing and had the prettiest eyes I've ever seen, a deep yet bright colored blue, a small amount of freckles and she had a sleeve tattoo of a Japanese style dragon. We were at the sea, fully clothed both of us were soaked, she picked me up and she threw me in the water while I was laughing, I felt...happy, at peace, like nobody but us were in this world and as if nothing could stop us from being unhappy. My heart felt warm and tingly as I saw the girls bright and beautiful smile. I never felt such genuine love and happiness from one person. I never wanted this moment to end,

it feels like I was living another life.

Everything flashed back to black in a split second and I heard my uncle talking, I woke up in a hospital, I felt a tear streaming down my cheek, the euphoric feeling remained in my heart. My uncle and the nurse turned around and saw that I was awake, my uncle stepped towards me and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe, he was silently crying."I thought you were going to die Eralin! Please never do that again!" I could barely understand what he whispered in my ear, but I got the gist of it.

"I-I don't know w-what happened...why am I in a hospital...?"

My voice was hoarse, I coughed and I felt piercing pain in my stomach, as the nurse gave me a cup of water she explained to me that I had a severe epileptic seizure and that I was suffering from internal bleeding in my uterus and that I needed immediate surgery because I lost a lot of blood. I was terrified, my blood ran cold, a seizure and internal bleeding in my uterus?! Uncle held my hand as the nurse explained everything for the medication against epileptic seizures, and how long I needed to stay in the hospital to recover. I needed to stay in the hospital for a week.

During that week, I didn't have any dreams like that one before, was I maybe hallucinating because I was in a coma? Anyways, in a week time my uncle fixed everything, he gave my parents money and they didn't even bother asking for me. My uncle got custody over me and gave me a fake name to avoid public attention, he built an entire apartment and customized it to fit my style.

I was no longer Eralin Meralith Thorns, I was Esra Blackwood
