A Gift

Jessy was receiving some kind of tingling burning sensation from the woman's right hand and it travels all over her body, she can compare the feel of it to that of an electrical current.

Whoaaa...what was that!?

"What are you doing, Grandma?" she asked bewildered.

The old woman let go of her palm and she inspected what happened to her palm, there was a red mark in the center, it's like 3 bite mark, colored red and blazing, then the glow continues to brightened around the dots then vanished a moment later. She tried to understand what was going on? Her eyebrow knitted together in puzzlement.

The old woman smiled at her. "I just give you a gift and it will be handy when you needed it the most," she explained.

"Can you please tell me what is it?" she asked more confused than ever. Nothing changed inside her though. She looked at grandma wearing a confused face.

Grandma gave her a knowing smile and began talking...

"I have a power that can turn anyone into anything I desired them to be and return them to their original estate whenever I wishes, and I can also do the same thing to myself, do you know that I once turn myself into the President of this country for one night, my experienced inside the president's office were hilarious, I joked and make silly comments to all the presidential staff, I stirred a chaos in there and they did not know that I hide the real president in the closet unconscious," she narrated laughing. "I have so many funny escapades using my power, it's fun while it lasted but later on the fun wears off and I just want to be human before I leave this world," then her face turns serious. "It took me a hundred years to perfect this power and since I no longer have any uses for it... it's yours now, once I'm already transformed into a mere mortal I intend to live like a real human being, that's my only wish, and now that I already transferred my power to you I'm now at peace with myself," she winked at her again. "Make good use of it," she said.

Jessy's brows furrowed together. "I dunno what to say... thank you so much for the gift," she smiled feeling grateful for grandma's valuable gift.

"You want to see me used my power on that chair over there," the woman eyed the chair.

"Yes, can you please show me how?" she asked eagerly.

The old woman concentrated... unfortunately she can no longer use her power, then she laughed. "Oh, silly me, did I just tell you a while ago that I already transferred my power to you? never mind, anyways practice using my power if you have time, you can enhance it further and you can tailor it to your liking. Ah, my child... my lids were getting heavier, I'm feeling sleepy, I think I'm slowly turning into a human being now, I can feel it..." she smiled triumphantly.

Jessy watched the old woman closed her eyes, a moment later, the woman was already in the state of a deep sleep, her breathing becomes heavy and steady.

The doctor returned and checked on Jessy and the old woman. "Are you feeling okay, Jess?" he asked.

She nodded her head. "Yes, I'm fine, don't worry about me, Doc," she responded.

A moment later, the old woman opened her eyes, the blood transfusion between them was now complete.

Jessy locked eyes with the old woman.

"We will meet again my child, just in case you want to talk and ask me about anything, find me," she said and winked at the younger woman.

"I will," Jessy responded and bid farewell to the old woman before she exited the room.

A child comes inside the room, Jessy smiled at the girl. "Hi there kiddo, how are you?" she asked wanting to be friendly with the child that was looking anxiously at her.

"I'm fine," replied the child with bright brown eyes.

"Don't be afraid, it just feels like a mosquito bite," she said.

The girl smiled feeling comforted by her claim and climbs into the bed.

The doctor repeated the same process, putting the IV drips on the recipient's arms.

This child will be the last for this session and then she will take a one hour break and spend some precious moments with her mother and father, she was looking forward to it. She's waiting for the time that she and her parents can go back to their home and live like a normal family, she craves that kind of closeness with them that has been stolen since she was a little child. But she won't be able to enjoy that kind of life surrounded by her parents' presence if this blood transfusion thing won't come to an end, she must fulfill the prophecy and become a free person afterward.
