Possessed from Birth

Introduction

Introduction 

One day, a little girl was born into this cold world. Her name was Kaw, that's me. My mother's favorite bird was a crow. You know, "kaw kaw", the crows call? Yeah, that's why my name is Kaw. My mother died when I was three months old. I can remember everything. I remember my mother's long, silky, black hair. Her red eyes and pale face, everything. She was beautiful in my eyes, but it wasn't until I was able to read that I found out she was possessed by evil. I can even remember how my mother died. She began to burn but from no source. She just burst into flames. My mother left me a diary. She wrote down everything from the day she knew she was pregnant with me. She told me she knew she was going to die the day I turned three months old. I had no father. At least, that's what my mom wrote. She wrote down everything about her and myself. I knew everything. I made sure I read the whole book. 

I was able to read when I was six. I grew up, not alone of course. A pack of wolves saw me and took care of me. They taught me how to defend myself and how to walk. I found a knife and took it with me for protection. I took as much as I could that still wasn't burned in my old home. I learned how to read, write, and translate out of wolf into English because where I slept at night was next to a small schoolhouse. I listened from outside the window and looked in making sure not to be seen. I read that when I was older and about to marry, I would die at the altar... right before I say "I do". I never want to get married. No, never. I will not die. I need to find my father. Watching from outside the school building I found out that everyone has a father. I need to find mine, but how? My mother said I didn't have one. There is no trace of my father anywhere. When my mother burned to death the whole house caught on fire, but me. I lay there in my cradle, crying, watching my mother burn to death, afraid of myself too. I never burned. Someone was trying to protect me, but who?
