Chapter one

Just a normal day in the Edwards' household. Yeah, we own our own house. How cool is that?

Aria skipped around the island in the kitchen, making her not even seem blind. We've all gotten a hold of our disabilities and tried to push them aside. Like I can speak and read lips, depending on the speed, as well as sign. But as I've said a million times, it's a curse.

"Aria, calm down!" I scold. She stops and looks up with a small pouty face. I can't help but beam at her. She was so adorable sometimes...it's too bad no one would like us, we have no friends or anything. I can see Aria being the social one, not the popular popular, just the popular who gets along with everyone.

I go back to stirring the sauce for the pasta we were making. Haven eventually pushes me aside though. I wasn't doing it right apparently.

"How come we can't go to actual school?" Aria asks as she looks out the window where two young children walk back from the local school, slow enough that I can read her lips.

"I think you know the answer to that one." I reply with a smirk. "We're cursed."

"So?"

"So I can't hear, you can't see, and Haven can't speak. Yeah, we would defiantly do awesome in school."

She rolls her eyes and begins to attempt to set the table. She's taught herself to memorize the positions of the plates and silverware. It makes me happy to see her so eager to get over this dumb disability. We're okay together, but we could never survive alone. That's why we can't go to school, Aria. We would be separated.

Soon enough, Haven sets down the pasta and motions for us to sit. As I sit down I notice that Aria has gotten a lot better with table setting. We all dig in and have small talk. Well mostly me and Aria actually talk...

After dinner, I go up to my room for a bit. I shared a room with Aria but it's a huge room so we both get a lot of room. I sit on my white canopy bed that I've slept in since I was young, I'm guessing. I pull out my laptop and start to research. Surely there is a website for curses, right? I mean we have Wikipedia...why not? I'm disappointed to find that all the search results are Wikipedia pages. Wow what a shocker. I close my laptop in frustration and grab my necklace from my neck. We all have the same necklace design. We don't know when we received it but we also found out it doesn't exactly...come off.

Mine is a medallion with a spiral of sorts with emeralds encrusted in it and my initials are carved on the back.

Aria's is the same minus my initials,she has hers, and has amethysts.

Haven has her initials and the same design with rubies.

We think it's just a reminder of out curse. Yeah, like we would ever forget.

It's a curse.
