My curse

(A/N: This is Aiden's past told in 1st POV. Warning: Please read with caution. If any of these scenes make you uncomfortable, please stop reading immediately.)

A curse…

Maybe that's what it's called.

When you accidentally killed your brother because he picked on you, would you call that a curse?

When you purposely killed your servant because he tried to kill you, would you call that a curse?

When everyone protested and secretly poisoned your food, threw stones at your inner chamber and asked you to be sacrificed, would you still call it a curse?

No.

They called it a monster.

I was five years old when I realized what I was capable of. My father is the King of the Eastern Spring Kingdom. My mother is his concubine. She made him believe he was my father….

But I knew that wasn't the truth.

I was five years old when I began to see shadows. I can hear them whispering to me in my sleep. They egged on me. Pushed me to kill and feed them with the blood and soul of humans.
