3. It's Your Day, Enjoy!

I never blamed Dad for remarrying, he deserves to be happy and he needs someone at this point when his wife was no more and his only daughter was in a coma for years.

How would he have survived if he did not have someone in his life? with this I cooperated with him and his new wife Eliza, an epitome of beauty, I wondered how they met.

As time passed by and I fully recovered, Dad assigned his wife as a homeroom teacher for me.

I needed to catch up on the years I've missed, All my mates should be in college now.

My heart diverted to the last incident, I wonder how Clisia will look now, a grown-up girl with the ugliest of all kinds, or is she doing well now? Maybe a damsel.

What I noticed most about me, I learned faster, probably because I've grown up, or am I a genius now?

A year later I took the exam to go to college. I passed in one sit, then I joined the rival of the educational legacy.

It all went well for me, The devil in me never speaks or overshadowed me, but that last incident was still fresh in my head, I wish Dad never lied to me about mom's death. I wished Clisia was the one lying.

With this, I didn't want to bring up her story because he appeared to be so happy now and I think he has healed from Mom's death.

But how will he forget the fact that I was born the same day he lost his family? that is, if the story was true.

"Sweetie wake up now, you will be late for college!" her words jiggled in my ears.

"Oh! Mom! one more minute" I said

Then a huge sound hit my ears, I flipped out of bed like a war soldier, she had set the alarm tone to a high frequency that it makes my ears and eyes wide open and alert.

I smuggled out throwing the blanket away, I could hear her giggle but I'm not in the mood to reply to that as the fear of starting the new week in the college gripped me.

I don't always want to wake up during the working days but during weekends the happiness in me knows no bounds.

I flung the door opened then my eyes opened wider when petals fell over me like butterflies flying.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth in astonishment,

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you Avia!!

Happy birthday to you!

Eliza's soprano voice sounds from behind, I couldn't help but glance at her.

Then father added, "How old are you now? How old are you now? How old...

Before he could finish the song, I felt the monster in me craving to burst out. The story about mom's true death flushed in my memory, the incident that happened to me on my 8th birthday could not hide but was reflected in my head.

Like a flash; I saw two couples, traveling in their private car out of the city, My motion was at a high pace and suddenly, I collided with their car as the road happened to be at a corner, I was on the floor in no seconds, they rushed to me in panic,

They carried me in their car and the wife sat with me while the husband drove, "To the hospital" The wife said and the husband made a U-turn.

I'm fully aware that their car did not hit me not even a slight touch but seemed the monster in me needed blood at the moment. The husband was driving fast, if they were to call an ambulance, I guess they think I will pass out before it reaches us as the place was far from the city.

Only God knows how long I've been on the road. The tension gripped their heart, but the wife is nice and kind, she kept saying "Don't worry you will survive" with her hand patting my back, I felt her warmth and I was regaining my consciousness.

But it seems the monster in me didn't want me to be calmed, I felt some thunder strand over my cheeks "Then I believed I was already a monster!"

A hefty sound reached my ears and I felt our car bouncing, before it finally stopped, it bounced on a bus, and the top of our car was completely flat.

I wondered how I survived, I initiated it I guess! No the demon in me did. I killed the two innocent souls.

Then I hated the day I was born, why will my fate be the cruelest one?

My eyes started changing as the song, asking my age hit my ears, I couldn't help myself. In a second, mom hugged me tight, Her floral-nectar scent hits my nostrils and I felt my body calm, "It's your day Avia! Don't think of anything" she whispered in my ear and her body and scent engulfed me.

Then, before she released me from her embrace, father fondled my nose and I felt something wet, I stared at it to see an icy sugar, "Oh! Dad!" I shouted and looked in his direction but another ice landed on my cheek, mom laughed. I couldn't help but avenge, I chased them both.

It was a happy day for me, I'm blessed with these two humans, whether or not, I doubt if they fear me or are aware of the strange soul in me.

"It's your day enjoy, no school until tomorrow okay!" Father stated and my joy was full, this is what I wanted 'No school today' that word is enough to make my day.

"Thank you!" I said happily and turned to my room

"Avia!" Father's voice stopped me.
