I, Lamia Luna, was born on July 4, 2003.
I'm Mara, I was born on August 1, 2004. Or so I'm told.
I was bored of being an only child and hated seeing other people with siblings because they always rubbed it in my face. Then one day my parents told me that she was gonna have a baby girl. Finally on August 1, 2004. Little Mara was born.
Our mother took a trip to Japan while she was pregnant with Mara, then Mara was born in Tokyo. I was born in Santa Tecla, E.S.
Our mother is Japanese and our father is Latino. Mother has black hair and black eyes. Father has Black hair and greenish eyes. Mother is 5'6 and Father is 5'8.
I don't remember being born. I don't remember anything since I was 8.
Mara loved to dance, really she loved everything. She was so talented. It was summer and Mara's dance group was going to have a competition of who was most swan-like. Mara thought the idea of curtain-dancing. Our parents installed curtains for her to dance on. One afternoon, Mara and I decided to play soccer indoors. I kicked the ball too hard and It hit the wrung of the curtain. then again Mara hit a ball and it hit the other wrung, but we weren't too worried about it.
When Mara turned 8 years old she made a video of her curtain dancing before anything changed she took a picture of her face in the curtain with colorful paint, she looked graceful like a swan. Everything was perfect. And then the perfect moment of the perfect mind collapsed.
Unfortunately, The wrungs could no longer support Mara's weight and the wrungs fell, Causing Mara to collapse down the stairs and into the back-yard. As I saw Mara pass out, I knew I should've called 911, but I was too scared to do anything. I cried and screamed as I saw blood gush out of Mara in many places, her skull, her nose, her mouth, and from her right ear.
Hours passed and My mom and Dad came back from work. Mara's appearance had changed. her tan skin was now a pasty white, her blossom peach lips were now blue, cracked, and peeling. and she was frozen.
All of Mara's friends and team-mates heard the news and rushed to the hospital. I tried to tell everyone that what had happened to Mara was an accident and that I was so scared I didn't know what to do. Some of the adults sneered at me and even cursed my existence.
"If anything happens to Our Mara, It will be on you! always! You are the one that did this to her!"
The words stung me like never before. To make matters worse the doctor came back and he had a concerning look. The doctor told us that Mara had a type of Child-hood Alzheimers. If you put it that way she would not remember anyone since day 1. My parents reassured as they told me it wasn't my fault but the rest of the people who thought I didn't like Mara gave me dirty looks and marched out of the hospital.
After Mara came home, nothing was the same for anybody.
