Aurelia smiled at her beautiful child.
"I'm so glad we had another one," She said.
"Yes," Leom agreed. "She is useless and I can't wait until she leaves us soon,"
Aurelia stared, her eyes burning with hate, at a baby, Elexis, playing on the ground. Her eyes were cold.

Elexis was a curse.
To shame the family.

That was when Aurelia gasped with pain.

She heard her mother's voice say,
"Honey, I'm going to the slave market today!"
"Can I go too??!!" Claire called.
"You can, honey,"
