Harper

Harper, 18-year-old woman, fugitive-traveler, in Montreal, Canada, has not lived in any city for more than 2 weeks since she was born, due to family reasons. She did not spend any money for 18 years. She protected her luck.

Harper's father and mother descended from the oldest families in existence in the Earth. One was from the Lang family and the other from the Kim family. There was a problem between the two families in the early 1950s. The Kim family wanted to do some experiments in South Vietnam. When the Lang family found out about this, they had secretly provided weapons and information support to the communist forces. Then this situation flared up and progressed until even the United States declared war on Vietnam.

There were more than a hundred families in the Earth that were ancient and powerful. But two of the top ten families that we can call the oldest were Lang and Kim families. In this hostility and confusion, Harper's mother and father fell in love at first sight. The couple started living on the run. When Harper was born, the couple became more paranoid. As the camera and tracking systems got stronger after a while with the development of technology, they could not stay in the same city for more than two weeks.

Harper's mother and father became her teachers. When Harper was 10 years old, she knew 7 languages. When she was 12 years old, she had full knowledge of veterinary work, and when she was 14, she had the knowledge of first aid medicine. Harper had become a very talented musician by taking piano and violin lessons. Since all of her friends in her life were at most one week old, she could not fully grasp the value of being friends.

When Harper was 16, she learned one day that her father wouldn't be able to come again. They fled from Iran to Europe with her mother. One year later, when they were in Marseille, France, they realized that they were followed by a special team. Her mother had made them escape with difficulty. Later, they immigrated to Canada on a cruise. Harper started taking kungfu lessons from her mother.

In Montreal, Canada, Harper was jogging with her mother in the park, fifty meters from their house.

"My girl, you are such a sweet woman."

"I prefer to be a very fast woman. Why don't we compare? Against the fastest woman, the most fugitive woman? Huh?"

"You are the fugitive!" After her mother rolled her eyes and said, started running ahead.

After a few minutes, "Enough Mom! Ah, hah! I can't catch up, okay. I accept that fugitives are always the secret record holder of athletics." Harper nagged and fell to the ground.

His mother took another tour around the park and came to Harper. "What happened to that very fast woman?" After she said, she held Harper's arm with her hand. Together they started walking towards the house.

Her mother thought to herself. 'Only two years left. If we're on the run for thirty years, they'll drop us off the family log. Just two years.'

Harper bent her neck as she walked towards the house and asked her mother, "Mommy, my dad's really coming, right?"

Her mother looked resolutely forward and replied "One day, if something happens to him, I will destroy the entire Lang family. They can't fight with me. Remember your mother is the strongest!"

When they came to the front of the house, her mother went to the market. Harper spent some time in the garden. When her mother came back, they went into the house and had breakfast together. After spending some time on the phone after breakfast, the two started Kungfu training around 10 o'clock.

"Harper, you should bend your left knee less, If you bend it flush with your right knee, you won't be able to counter a 145-degree punch 100 percent. If the attacker is attacking with a stick or an iron rod, your wrist can be broken on the right arm. Yes, that's right way."

While she and her mother were thoroughly engaged in training, the two were thrown three meters apart by a supernatural force. Both had fallen on their backs. Harper's necklace of sea pearl around her neck cut off the side of her neck, levitating and hanging. All the appliances in the house broke down and black smoke came out. Since there was almost no air pollution outside, the appliances in neighboring houses broke down and their smoke came towards the house.

Harper could not see inside and her mother clearly. She could not move. She tried to call her mother, but only a metallic friction sound came from her throat. Her mother was in the same situation as Harper.

After the droplet of blood on the chains of the necklace moved towards the pearl, two blood-red pupils appeared in the air. Blood-red pupils glanced at Harper for about two seconds, then returned to the necklace. Everything was back to normal. Mother and daughter were looking at each other. Her mother wanted to reach Harper immediately, but she still couldn't move. Harper ran to her mother in panic and hugged her.

"Mom, are you okay? Why don't you move? Why don't you hug? " saying, Harper's tears began to come from her eyes.

"Baby, I can talk. Take it easy, you shouldn't panic. Calm down!"

Harper looked into her mother's eyes and calmed down. Her mother continued to speak. "Baby, I can't move any of my limbs. I can't even blink. I feel like a spell. What was that? Suspended in the air."

Harper placed her hand where the necklace was around her neck. Harper noticed that she had no necklace around her bleeding neck. "My necklace! The necklace we bought from the market when we were together in Yemen, mom. It took off, and the chain of the necklace cut my neck. Then you saw what I saw." she replied.

"My daughter, what happened to the necklace? as if it fell to the ground? Bring it to me so I can see." Harper got up and turned to the necklace again and saw that her necklace with white and blue pearls was pitch black. She reached out to take it in her hand, and the moment the necklace touched her hands, it disappeared. Then she thought that something had settled on her chest. Her mother recovered and was able to move. She quickly got up and came in front of Harper.

Harper took a deep breath and removed her shirt. There was a black medallion-size tattoo at the exact junction of the ribcage and a pair of bright red pupils that looked like it was alive. The two looked at each other in silence. When her mother touched the tattoo, she felt nothing but skin.

Harper looks at her mom and said "Mom, I feel my body getting stronger. This thing gives me strength." She stood up, but she collapsed, unable to balance. Her mother helped her daughter in panic. "Harper! What happened! tell me quickly! Harper! No!" she screamed loudly and rushed towards her daughter.

Harper swallowed, "Mom, I feel great. Just umm, I didn't know, why did I fall? " After she said, she tried to get up again, but she seemed to be collapsed again. Her mother took her arm and led her daughter to the seat. After reaching for the chair, her mother went and brought a glass of water. After giving Harper water, Harper's metabolism began to accelerate and her muscles, vessels and bones began to grow stronger.

Harper's mother panicked as rumblings came from her belly. "No no! That thing couldn't have gotten into your stomach. There shouldn't be such a thing! Why Harper!" she started pulling her hair. Harper looked at her panicked mother and quickly grabbed her by the arms. "Mom calm down! These voices are not coming from nothing. I feel really hungry. Can I eat something?" she asked.

Her mother nodded in approval, with a dull gaze. When Harper ate 4 times what she normally ate in the kitchen, her mother could not stand and stopped. "Come on, we're going to the hospital." said. Harper shook her head negatively "Mom, we're fugitives, we can't take risks. There are still two years left. Please! I feel so good. Give me a meal. Then we see what to do." she tried to persuade. Her mother ignored her daughter's starvation and said, "No food for you, you've had enough. Never ever. If we are not going to the hospital, you will not be eating for dinner." she objected.

Harper nodded and walked towards the bathroom. "I'll be with you, too. You shouldn't be alone. I don't know what that thing can do. But I will never let him control you." saying, her mother came to the bathroom with Harper. Harper went to bed after washing her face.

"Mom I feel very hungry. It's not because of this thing, it's like my body needs it. My muscles, my veins, everything seems to be very strong. My heartbeat throbs my brain, but I feel very energetic. I am so hungry!" Harper's mother did not soften at all when her daughter was nagged.

"Should I tie you to the bed?" her mother replied. Harper lay unhappy on the bed. Her hunger did not stop for 5 hours. Her mother never backed down. Harper eventually became tired of suppressing her hunger and lost consciousness.
