The Infant chapter 4

~~~~~Chapter 4: Curse in Reverse~~~~~

Okay, so now it's 2 days until I leave the orphanage to a better life, a better future and a better place! Now, I have been thinking over about the curse the three foreign girls have done to me, but it hasn't seemed to work, that's for sure. In fact, I have had a great day so far. All the girls in the orphanage made me breakfast in bed, my favourite, with egg, bacon and cheese on toast! Then, I looked out the window and it was a beautiful day, nice and sunny. As soon as I went outside, I could feel the rush of warmth on my skin. Then Rosia and I played soccer all day long, it was VERY entertaining. She taught me how to score goals and some tips and tricks on soccer, couldn't have expected more.

So, the curse hasn't worked, but how does that make sense? Alright, that's it! I am too curious and suspicious to what the curse was all about! They will have to say it to my FACE! If you haven't noticed previous days ago, when I was finally adopted, I am a very face to face type of girl, I need people to say it to my face, not keep secrets from me. There they are, the foreign girls! Alright, here goes. "So, you know yesterday, well I know what your doing, and I had a chill go down my spine seeing you guys curse me for some odd reason!" I yell. The girls grin, then start giggling, then went to a ferocious LAUGH! "Hey, what's so funny, you take this as a joke, because it's not supposed to be FUNNY!" I yell again. They immediately stop, stand still, and try to make a straight face. After 3 seconds of silence, the girls burst out laughing again! I wait in silence, waiting for them to stop laughing. "That's it, I have no time for this, when you're ready to tell me what happened yesterday, I will disappear!" I say, in a VERY serious voice. I am about to walk off when one of the foreign girls starts to speak. "Ok, ok, well yesterday we weren't cursing you, but yes the set up was the same, the doll thing was the same, and the chant we said was the same," they say, taking deep breathes so they don't start laughing again. "And?" I feel annoyed about the wait. "And, the only thing that was different, was the chant we did was said BACKWARDS."they replied.

WHAT? "Wait, so what's that supposed to mean?"I ask, still very curious. Another girl replies. "If the chant is said in reverse, than we are giving you good luck!" they say, with a wide grin. "Woah woah woah woah woah!" I repeat confused yet again. "What, wish me luck, ok now I feel a bit better."I say, now smiling. "We wanted to wish you good luck because you have FINALLY been adopted!" The girls said. Wow, I never expected something like this to happen, the feeling of worry is gone, the feeling of curiosity is gone and the feeling of suspicion has VANISHED! "But wait, why do I need luck when luck is already known yet to come!" I say, feeling confident about the adoption. "We have seen your dreams!" The girls reply. WHAT?...

"Ok, now get out of my dreams, but how do you know? I ask, now looking worried AGAIN. " We just know."the girls reply. "Fine then, prove it!" I say, ready to hear what they have to say.

They said it. They knew what my dream was! How did they know? I never told anybody about my dreams other than Rosia. Maybe Rosia told them. No, Rosia promised not to tell a soul, and I trust her. The girls no every single detail of my dream, I couldn't of explained it better myself! No, no, no! This is wrong, very wrong. Just when I thought all the horrible feelings vanished, they have now come back! "Tell me, did Rosia tell you? I ask, in a worried tone. "No, no one told us." they replied, calmly. "So, what's your secret, how do you know about my dream?" I ask, now feeling my body slowly die. They start explaining, for a long period of time, never ever getting straight to the point. They start talking about the strange things that happened in their lives in California, how their parents had strange behaviours, never being rewarded or had any friends at school. They told me about how their parents died and that they were all sister, in fact identical triplets.

That was when I got too impatient and had to add "THE POINT?" I say slowly, gritting my teeth together so hard that I felt that my teeth would fall clean off. "And so, from there, the night of the accident, we saw a letter on the fridge, explaining that our parents had special powers, weird past from generations back, and that we, had powers, special powers that not only read about the future, but read into people's minds." They finally explained. I started feeling really shocked. Then I start bringing up questions in my head. If they can read my dreams, and the future, wouldn't that mean they can read my FUTURE?!
