(Reminder this is my first story so it won't be really good)

As long as I can remember I was an outcast. I've always wanted to know why. Even my parents treated me bad all they would tell me is that I was never supposed to be born... that wasn't a good reason. I needed a better reason... so I decided to ask the other townspeople they all looked at me scared even the kids. I didn't know what was wrong with me.. am I not human? please tell me... what's wrong with me?.."I questioned"..the townspeople just stared at me with rage and disgust...

I begged for them to answer.. tell me please.. what's wrong with me. Why do you treat me like this! WHY! "I exclaimed" I kept repeating why, until a kid finally spoke up. your a devil!" The kid yelled" me a devil? "I said confused" look at your hair! all devils have crimson red hair! "The kid exclaimed." I stood there in shock. All because of my hair.. they treat me like this. I'm a devil because I have red hair.. that's there big reason for treating me like this..I just stood there not knowing what to do or say..Would other villages treat me like this.."I sighed" of course they would..
I turned and walked back to my home hoping I could talk to my parents about it and they would answer honestly.. I was scared but i seriously wanted to know why they treat me bad and why they despise people with crimson red hair. I finally reached home after a 20 minute walk.. I was tired but i quickly went into the house and I saw my mom and my little sister playing and laughing happily.. like i didn't exist.. I always knew my mom didn't like me.. but I had to try and ask.

Hey mom could we talk?.. "I said hesitantly" she looked at me and then said "what do you want child.
I was surprised she answered me then i quickly composed myself. Then I said the words I've always wanted to say. Why do you and the villagers treat me terribly.."I questioned hesitantly" "she suddenly sighed".. it's time that I told you.. many centuries ago and women with crimson red hair was born into this village."she said" was she treated bad? "I questioned" I have no idea but I do know she was kind and gentle but it all changed when the village started selling there daughter and being involved with treason.. she watched everyone she knew die. When she saw that her powers awakened. She wanted revenge so she married the past king and destroyed the kingdom. After that every 100 years a child with crimson red hair is born and is prophesied To destroy the kingdom or worse the world.. the only one who had gotten close to that was the first person with crimson hair. The rest were killed and worse...Listen to me Esra.. no matter what you do you'll never be accepted no matter where you go.. in this kingdom. "She said" I was shocked to know why this is happening to me and then I understood but the thing is.. I don't want to destroy the world. I only have one dream. And it's to become a lord but it's now impossible because of my hair.. no matter what I'll do it! What should I do? Mom.." I questioned " " she then replied " you should leave this village and find somewhere else to stay or turn yourself in to the kingdoms guards.. WHAT! No I don't want to die.. I want to live my life! " i exclaimed" please there must be something else I can do mom.." i commented"

M-maybe you can dye my hair? Then my hair won't be red! "I said." No.. you have to leave. I'll give you 2 days to get ready to go. Fine.."i muttered"
Mommy mommy! Let's go play! " my little sister suddenly said" to be honest I don't like my little sister she's super annoying but I can't help but be jealous of her. She's normal unlike me she was so sweet and innocent.. I hated it.. I decided to walk away.. I went upstairs into my room and laid down
Onto my bed. Drifting off to sleep.

The next morning.

The day is nice the sun is out and the birds are singing. As i wake up I hear loud noise coming from downstairs. 'I hope it's not the lord of our village'..
I make my way downstairs and I peak out the door that's opens to the outside. "A man spoke with a cold and harsh tone." listen here women. You need to pay me back. If you have no money. Pay me back with your body you have until tonight! If you don't have the money or you won't offer your body! I'll have you and your family killed! The second my mother heard that he'll have her family killed her eyes started to tear up. Please! Sir I'll offer my body.. I have no money! Please don't kill my precious Lilly! When I heard her say Lilly and not my name I chuckled.. she doesn't care if I were to to die. I continued to watch until.. Lilly finally woke up and ran downstairs and ran out the door and pushed the lord. Don't hurt my mommy!! "Lilly shouted".. she's trying to get herself killed "I muttered as I sighed" you RUNT! Get your dirty hands off of me! " the man said and pulls his sword out and points it at them" the second I saw the sword.. it made my blood boil.. I hated my family but why am I so mad.. I was full of rage I knew if I came out I would die with my family. But i didn't want to die so I stood there.

Nora! If you marry me you'll be lady Campbell. And you'll be respected and would have money to take care of your family. So pick now.. "the man announced" Nora.. that's my mother's name. It seems that she'll become a noble.. "a shaky voice and nervous tone came from her."Are you telling us the truth.You'll marry me and make me a baroness?
Lilly stood there shaking in fear of the man.. "the man's tone became gentle and put away his sword"
Yes I swear upon my family name. I'll make you happy. And you'll be rich. But there's one thing I need from you. "My mother quickly said" what is it! I'll do anything.. "the man smiles slightly" give me a heir. That's all I need. That man seems happy it's kinda creepy.. my mother smiled happily and she agreed.. yes! Of course. Will you take in my lovely daughter Lilly? The man agreed happily. To tell you the truth my lord.. I have another daughter. I was shocked to hear my mother say that.. "the man was slightly surprised" well I'll also take he- "my mother suddenly yelled." No! She's the kid from the prophecy I'm sending her away in a couple days but i would like for her to stay with us for a while. If you allow it.

The man looked at my mother like she was crazy..
If the guards from the king saw her i would be killed for treason! " he exclaimed" I'll allow it for a couple days and she better not cause trouble. The second I heard that. "I stepped out and bowed" hello sir.. I'm Esra. "The man looked at me and was surprised.. he was mesmerized by her beauty." "I turn to mom" mother thank you. I'll be sure not to cause trouble my lord.. 'Lilly was watching carefully at first she was scared now she's excited' So mister! Are you going to be my father now! The man smiled and said yes I will be your father. I'll be expecting you and your family tomorrow Nora." the man said and turned to leave."
