"Freedom ... This word is what I'm seeking for . Freedom from myself , this is what I'm asking for . Can I do it ? If not , am I going to end up the way I'm . The way my body is , the way I'm lying on soft but not warm , grass . The way blood is dripping from my mouth to neck , am I gonna end up like this now and here ?"

"Isn't it funny i can heal other with my powers but not myself"

"Don't know , what's going on . I'm too exhausted even to breath . And it's dark . The thing I hate the most being in dark because that makes me change . My eyes to shine and my body uncontrollable . Still I'm lying here with sleepy eyes. I don't know..." Before completing ,I slept .

"Oh Jesus , someone is lying here !"

"Did something happened yesterday ?"

"Should we call the police ?"

I could bearly hear these things , don't know but I could feel , there are many people near me . But I'm not able to move because of sleeping paralysis . I got to move after few minutes . I opened my eyes , there were many peoples around me , I guess I created a scene here ! I sat at my position . Then I remembered I was at a park lying like a dead body .

" Hey , are you okay ? Need some water " one lady standing near me offered water . I just ignored it and stood up .

" See , I'm fine . So there's nothing here to gossip about , now everyone go your way . " I stated rudely , that's how I'm . I know they would we cruseing me . However Everyone got away in some minutes .

I took a big breathe and started finding my car which I parked at park's parking lot .

Few after , I found my car and I just walked to it and got in .

I turned the mirror on my face , there was nothing not even a single bruise . There wasn't even a strain of blood on my face . Well , I guess it could be miracle for you for me it's common , that's how my fucking life is . I put my keys at ignition and started driving .

"I wish everything could be normal , everything refers to me and my life ." I sighed .

I drove to my home . I actually don't want to go to my home as yesterday it was my birthday and it was worst enough but still I have to as someone would be waiting for me , my mom .

I parked my car in the garage. As I was in hurry last night , I don't have keys . I rung the door bell . I know she will open the door in flash .

Few minutes passed but she didn't open the door . I called her but her phone was switched off , A sudden anxiety and fear ran through my veins , is everything okay ? Without a single thought I broke the door with my powers and ran inside . I searched the house but she wasn't there , no where ! I got more anxious and scared , my head was spinning .

I was sitting at a corner with hands on my hands on head , my eyes were bloody red and tears were uncontrollable .

It's all my fault , it's all because yesterday night , once again I tried to get rid of my powers at the price of my life . I actually can't understand how much hurt she would be after seeing her child broken and hurt .

A sudden thought came , I forgot to check our under ground basement where the stuffs of my late father are kept , where we she used spend her much of her time .

I ran towards it , the door was open . I went in , everything was as usual but I started searching if she has left any clue where she went . There wasn't anything special in that room , i checked drowers , recks , a small little wardrobe in the corner , I got nothing .

One thing that was left unchecked was the book self . I stated flipping every Book in it . It was exhausting but I continued .

In one book there was something , an envelope . I opened it , it was a letter . A letter for me .....

"Dear baby ,

Ath , it still feels like you're in my arms and I'm holding you . 18 yrs , sounds too long but for me it was actually a you and me moment , you and me memory . God ! Hate it , how fast these years have passed , how I have to go away now . Ath , lemme tell you a story .

There's something called destiny , faith . So , There was a girl , about 13 years older than you're now . She was married to a man whom she loved dearly and was pregnant . But as every story doesn't have a happy ending , she end up getting betrayed by her husband . She was begging him to return to her but he didn't . At last she decided to live for that baby in her womb . But her last hope .. her baby .. was gone too , she met a car accident , when she woke up at hospital , she was broken . She cried her heart out . She was in pain , didn't know what to do next . She ran away from that hospital to realise the reality . It was night , and raining a little bit . She was roaming her and there and she end up in a corner of street which was peaceful , dark without street lights near . She started crying , she was crying her pain out . She suddenly heard a baby crying voice , she thought it was her imagination but she saw two people wearing weird clothes leaving a baby in the street . She ran towards them , she asked what the hell they were doing . Then didn't say much except "it's her fate" she carried that baby right away . She said if you do this she will take that baby , they said "as you wish , but you will die soon" . She thought it was rubbish , she questioned "what?" . They started walking away and said " on the day of her 18 th birthday , you will die " that was their last words and they disappeared . she thought it was nonsense and embraced that baby in her hug.

She took that baby home , as She didn't care what they said or how they disappeared . She got hope to live . She started taking care of baby and named her "Athea" which means healing . For her that baby was special as she was her hope but she didn't know that baby was actually special ....

Yes , it was me , my and your story . If what they said comes true don't ever think to pity me . if I finally disappear, I know my ath would be crying and blaming herself by now but you know what you gave me meaningful 18 years cause if not i would have been living a nonsense life . I'm not sure about my death but still if any how i disappear , i wrote this letter so that you won't get angry on me .

By the way there's one more truth actually , your birthday is next day , means tomorrow . we used to celebrate it a day before , I did that as i was being selfish , i wanted to celebrate last time with you and so it won't give you a bad memory that I disappeared on your birthday ...

Mom always loves ath ,

Stay happy for forever

Ath's mom .

Scarlet Scott

My eyes were bloody red , my hands were shaking . I shouldn't have read that letter , my fake world was better than reality . My eyes were filled with tears , my heart was aching . I was in extreme pain , i started crying , slapping myself . There's nothing left .... Nothing ..... Aahhhh.... Mom .... I started shouting no one answered . I started shouting even harder , wishing she would reply even once .... Mom .... Mom .....

Mom...

It's morning now , I'm lying on the floor of basement , i don't know what to do next . Should I try to find those two people from 18 yrs ago or should I find about my existence ? I guess answer is same I need to find them !

I gathered my energy and got up , I need to find those people , maybe they could return my mom back ? Or else I have to kill the fuck out of them ! But how ?

Suddenly the door bell Started ringing .

I went toward the door slowly and it was ...Amy , my only friend since childhood . She knows everything about me .

She came in . She kept silence and started observing me . I didn't say a thing until my tears made my eyes blurry .

I hugged her and started crying .

"Are you okay" she asked .

"I'm not"

"It's alright , everything thing is fine " she said and patted my head .

I got away from that hug and told her everything .

She wasn't expecting that something this big has happened . I showen her that letter . Her face was enough to know that how sorry she was feeling for me .

She hugged me once again and said everything will be okay and we'll find those people eventually .

Still I know it's not that easy .
