Curse of the Stranger s Gift

Over two hundred years had passed but she could still remember that night, the night that changed everything, her life, her dreams, it took everything.

*** Years Ago ***

===

Whispers.

"No, I didn't kill my father, it was a mistake!" A little girl's voice echoed in a dimly lit, cold hospital.

Staring at the people sitting in their various seats who couldn't take their eyes off her, murmuring before her eyes.

Erica was just on her way to get something for her mother when her late father came out from behind and suddenly held her by her neck, he tried to kill 15years old Erica by strangling her, the blue light started forming from her fingertips radiating from Erica's body, her adoptive father became momentarily stunned but terribly shaken. He couldn't even recover his wits before the light threw him hard against the wall while choking him at the same time.

He started bleeding from his head, nose, and ears while breathing his last at the same time, a moment he never prepared for.

He didn't even know what killed him, and up to the moment of his last breath, he still couldn't believe what happened.

The light didn't just make her late father fly far away from her until he met the wall, but made blood rush down his head.

And before Erica could interpret what was going on... The man was already dead, leaving her the suspect.

"You're a witch, I told him not to let you go into the streets and this is what you go and do?" An angry woman questioned the little girl Erica, bam! she hit her hand on the chair on which Erica was sitting causing the girl to cry even harder. Unable to withstand the woman's echoes.

"I am sorry." The little girl whispered, still crying bitterly while looking at her hands,

"I didn't know what happened, I promise." She begged in her sobs, she continued to cry more, not minding how she looked.

"Get up! You deserve to die, you killed my husband." The woman said pulling her arm and dragging her along with her.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean for any of these to happen, I'm sorry.." The small girl continued begging the woman who seemed to be her mother, but no! The woman refuses to listen.

"Stay here!" The woman threw her to the ground harshly, "I won't leave you today." She concludes before walking out to look for something or someone.

The girl continued crying seeing that there was no way for her out of this, she cried in pain, "It is bad to die this way, but I guess there is no other way for me, I guess today is the end of my journey in life." Erica said to herself looking up into the heavens, as drops of tears fell down her loneliness-filled face.

"Why was I born to even die this early God is too wicked!" She harshly wipe her face as she continued, "first I didn't have my parents, I don't even know them. Maybe they rejected me then why won't the world reject me as well? I had only wished for one thing, just one to see my mother and ask her why she didn't love me!" Banging her forehead on the floor as blood gauge out she wiped in agony.

Bam! Bam!

"Little girl what are you doing? Stop it." A passerby yelled at her but she didn't care more to look up at him.
