The Search for Freedom

Kaila

Killing a hundred people wasn't just a game. Lives couldn't be bought because everyone had a responsibility to take care of each other's lives. What I could do was hope, hoping that the people I could kill would forgive me, even though I knew it was hopeless because murder was both a mortal and forgivable sin.

"Kaila, I know you have a special ability like seeing things, such as people from far away places. You may use that to know who you want to kill," Alicia advised.

"So, do you mean that it wasn't from you?" I asked.

"Yeah, it did not come from me, but from, maybe from the curse."

"Okay, but I don't know how to use this power, because sometimes I cannot control it. Can you help me with that?"

"That's so easy to control. You only need to focus if you want to see something. You need to focus when using your eyes to see someone or something. I knew you could control that soon."

Alicia was right because it would show me the things I really wanted to see, and if I didn't want to see something, it would not show that thing. When I wanted to see Steve, because I really wanted to see him, the power would show him to me. If I really wanted to see someone or something, my focus would also appear. It was really useful because it could help me choose the people I'd kill.

However, if the power came from the curse, as Alicia said, there would probably be some bad effects from using it. I should not have used this if I didn't really need to, for the curse might have had a plan to control me again. But Alicia wasn't even sure, and everything might be different.

I even wondered if it was a sign that I wasn't a normal human, because ability differed from power in that humans could acquire special abilities. It was impossible for a normal human to possess powers like seeing things, even in faraway places.

I had a feeling that there were a lot of secrets in my personality. It also came to my mind to ask Alicia if she knew anything about it, because it seemed that she had been watching me for a long time. "Alicia, can you tell me more about myself? There are many things messing up my mind."

"Just like what?" Alicia queried.

"Like, what do you really think I am?" I interrogated

"You don't know what you really are? Didn't your parents tell you something about them, where they came from, and what kind of people they are?" Alicia asked as if she wanted to tell me something.

Hearing the tone of her voice, I became confused about who my parents were. What I only knew about them was that they were secretive humans, as they were not telling me anything about their families. I wanted to know many things about them, but they unexpectedly died, without even answering one of my million questions.

"Maybe it's not the right time to tell you about your parents. You have many things to deal with and you must focus on them. You need to get revenge on the gangsters who killed your parents. Howbeit, what you need to do now is to become strong and brave, before I can tell you who those people are."

"You had promised that you would help me get rid of this curse, so tell me now what I should do."

"Use your power and choose someone who you want to kill. Just don't forget your intentions. I'm not included if you want to kill someone anymore, because it was your decision which was needed, not mine."

I certainly needed to be clever about my targets. Maybe I was going to kill those people who were weak, so that they could not fight back, and those people who were hurting others and seemed to be viruses in the world. I also would not waste the opportunity if someone suggested I kill them, because it would be less guilt for me.

Those people who were thinking their lives were just flying with the cool air and had nowhere to go, especially those people who wanted to commit suicide because they were brokenhearted. Those people who felt the difficulty of life and didn't want to live anymore, such as those old people who were unable to tolerate their pain, and those who could do nothing with their lives.

Most of all, those gangsters who killed my parents were my priority to terminate, but because Alicia wouldn't tell me who and where they were, I would be the one to search for them. Those people who were on my list really needed to prepare because I would just suddenly appear in their faces to take their lives. Though I knew, it was only easy to say.

"So are you done thinking of who to kill?" Alicia asked. "You need to do that quickly, because the curse will be active at anytime if you don't show it that you're killing people. That's the reason why it wouldn't control your body because it wanted to see if you were doing what it wanted you to do."

"I want to ask you if I can go to the place where the person I wanted to kill is." I knew it would be difficult for me to travel. Though it was exciting, it was also time-consuming and could tire me.

"Have you forgotten I would help you get rid of that curse? I can bring many people from one place to another. The pinkish cloud can also help you because it has several personalities. Sometimes it's good and sometimes bad. If you could control it, the curse wouldn't be difficult to defeat," Alicia explained.

"What do you mean?" I queried it.

"The pinkish cloud can form a portal which can bring you somewhere, as you have seen once, but what you have to avoid is when it enters your body because it means it is going to control you."

"But what if the pinkish cloud brings me to other places and not to the place where I want to go?" I asked.

Alicia sighed. She told me that it wasn't a problem because if I wanted to go somewhere, I could control the pinkish cloud. What I only needed to focus on was to focus on that place, and if I was determined to be free, everything around me would conspire to give me that thing.

"It's only a suggestion. I know you're thinking how difficult it is. We're just the same. When I was young, I also could not control my power. It took me a hundred years before I could master everything," Alicia added.
