Mia Bloomwood: A Story Untold

Chapter XVIII

My eyes opened a little to find myself lying on my bed and my grandparents sitting beside my bed stand. "Oh finally Mia. You opened your eyes. We were so terrified. What happened to you?" Granpa said everything in one breath. "Relax David. She seems fine now." Granny whispered affectionately. I smiled at'em. They bought me hot corn soup which was delectable. I drank with much joy. I told them about how randomly I got dizzy and fell to the ground. "Oh Mia." Grandpa cried. "Today we'll go and everything will be right you need not worry. Everything will be better now." "You won't have any dreams or see structures around." Ma added smiling.

I was confused. What were they talking about. I had no clues at all!
"Are you planning to take me to a psychiatrist?"

"Something better than that my child." Tears started rolling down my cheeks as I hugged them and whispered to them softly, "I love you. No grandparents in the world would have ever done soo much for their grandchildren. You people are the best." Ma and Pa's eyes were puffy. It was the first time I had seen them shedding so many tears. "It wasn't easy for us to bring you up. It was a heavy responsibility.

For so many years, you were our only hope of living. It was a challenge for us. We feared your dreams. We were scared for you. We feared our deaths. But now you have entered your teenage. No problem now. Till date we have adopted so many girls and brought them up. Yours was the toughest because you were a unique one. You had dreams. " Pa looked grave.

" I don't get it. Why are you saying you adopted me. I am your granddaughter right? "

" It is a lie. We ain't your grandparents dearie. Forgive us. We didn't want to hurt you. "

" But what about Mrs. Warrender. She's my Aunt and this i... is he.. r house right?" I was trembling like a leaf.

" You have no Aunt. This is our house. We wanted to stay young. This is the reason we never socialised. We never attended your Guardian-Teacher meetings. Your friends came to your house but they kept telling you that we looked younger. 13 years younger than our real age. Because It was only you who saw us getting old in the last thirteen years."

" But Grandpa I still can't understand why didn't you confess to me earlier. I wouldn't have been hurt. Why... "

" Hussh Mia! We just didn't want to hurt you back then, else it would be twice."

" Twice. Why though?" I asked disturbed.

" We can't answer. Good.. He pushed a pointed knife inside my stomach... Bye Mia. We will miss you."

I started losing my life. I was dying slowly. Tears rolled and my breathing heaved. I held my Ma's hands but she pushed me away. She stabbed me again. I closed my eyes forever. I left the world. My soul rose up. I stood in the clouds. White structures with shiny tiaras took me away. I was gone forever.....

"Now we will take her body to the Devil. He loves teenage kids. That is why we had to bring her up for 13 years but finally... He will make us young again. I will become handsome. You'll be beautiful. We will be blessed with new faces. We will renew ages." David smiled evilishly. " We are waiting for 3:03 am."
Ma said.

                            *NEXT MORNING *

" We welcome you to Liliana Orphanage." The lady greeted them with a cute smile.

" We want a new born baby girl to adopt. "

" As you say sir." Said Liliana.

"Look at her she is cute. I want her." MaMalicia said.
"Your wish." PaDavid smiled.
They bought her home.

"Look she has a birthmark." Ma cried excitingly.
Suddenly her face lost its colour.
"It is in the shape of the alphabet M."
They were TERRIFIED.
The baby smiled at them.
