Tale 5: The Curse Upon Me

>Flashback<

I called it a curse rather than a gift. I thought I could stopped them by taking it away and control it but they didn't. They still hunt and waited for me to let down my guard. The sacrifice that I have made has taken a part of my memories and only leave the bad parts in me. I was curse forever until someone could defeat me which in other words, the power inside me and take this curse away.

The curse cast upon me was the power that was meant to rule a kingdom and become the queen of all. It has made the power hungers including my own families to fight against each other. It made them lose their conscience and their right minds. Its even worst for the one who take it as the power given cause the person to lose control and humanity sense. The emptiness was replaced with rage and bloodlust which can cause bloodshed and chaos even I almost lose myself in it.

I thanked for both of my grandfathers. Both of them has taught and shown me what it is really important in life. I always keep it in mind everytime I almost lose my insanity. With this curse, I had to train myself to control it before I hurt someone else and become one of my regrets.

>Living room<

Once a week, my families organized a party or occasion and every people come to my place and take the opportunity to defeat me, trying to kill me in every ways they could think, plot some tricks to put on me and sometime it cause pains to the ones beside me.

"What do you think of her?"
"A beauty but you don't wanna face her wrath, cous and beside your not really her type'"
"Why? Anyway she can't really remember who we are and mostly what we did to one of her girl friends"
"Whatever just stay out of her way dude! We can't really sure about it anyway..."
I could heard the two boys conversation behind me as I sat down infront of them before my so-called girl friend of mine asking me about something.

"Hey, are you okay? Do you hear what i say just now? Ohh never mind answering it! I know it and look at this! Is there something that caught your attention and maybe remember something??", she asked me.

She must have notice that I was zoned out and told me to forget it. She showed me something on her laptop. It was the pictures of us and with other peoples too. What caught my attention is the cute teddy bear that looks like cat-foxy orange fur. I asked her if she still keep it for me and she said yes. Both of us start looking at the attic of the house.

>Attic I <

As we both already upstairs, we part ways and start looking for the teddy bear. Might I say the attic was unkempt and not really tidy at all even though there is a shelf and lots of boxes here. I'm sure the teddy would be covered in dust and cobwebs.

I finally found the teddy after a few hours of searching it. I told my friend that I have found it. As I brushed off the dust on it as I take it from the top shelf, I'm feeling a bit nostalgia. I still remember the last time I saw her. The true friend of mine. She was killed by the two boys downstairs before. They thought wrongly. How could I forget about it when I saw it right infront of me.

There is no ones who truly loves me and someone who I could trust since I have this curse. Some people feared of my wrath which wasn't true at all and some pleasing me just for their own motives. How I feel glad that both of my grandfathers and my true friend were not here right now with me. They could get harmed by those power hungers.

"Are you alright there?", I must have zoned out in rage and I just noticed the tears fall down and my damp cheeks. I wiped out the tears and looked at the man sitting on his stool looking at me with concern in his eyes.
