The Search for Freedom

Kaila After I killed the little girl, I could not consider myself as a little merciless. What I did was never been a forgivable sin. There was no other way to make someone or even myself forgive me, though someone would say I should stop, I would not, or I could not follow them. I knew what I was doing, and they could not judge me because they didn't know the feeling of being stuck in this situation. I started doing crimes, so I need to finish it whatever happens. I knew it was difficult at the beginning, but it would be easier soon.

There was something incredible happened after the little girl died. I never knew or expected, but I also had that kind of power, power which only a few people could have. I had been thinking that I wasn't a normal human, because I had witnessed evidence that proved my inference right.

Many times, I witnessed how I became stronger; I could pull, push, and carry something, someone, or even a house with my hands. I could also see everything, even in far places, with my own eyes. Then lastly, when the girl had bitten my hand with her sharp teeth, the wound had gradually healed by itself. There was no reason not to believe I wasn't normal, for I was stronger than what I thought.

There was only one exception to my inference. I remembered that every weird and incredible thing that happened, had began when Alicia gave me the pinkish cloud. Perhaps the cloud had a connection with everything? It wasn't a curse, for it might be where my power came from. One more thing that was messing with my mind was Alicia once said that the power of vision didn't come from the pinkish cloud, or I might had mistaken it, for she didn't know where it came. After the death of the second person, Alicia and I had been searching for the third one. I was also practicing magic, because it could help me to accomplished my mission easily. Because of the power of vision, I could perform magic easily. It showed me what to do in order to perform magic. I was so grateful to have a power like this. It helped me do things easily, and I didn't need Alicia's help in performing magic. Soon I would be the most powerful girl in this world, even more powerful than Alicia.

I shouldn't do anything else but focus on searching for the people who were destined to fight me, because the faster I found and kill them, the faster I could take my freedom. I didn't need to go back to the mansion too, I knew everyone and everything there was fine as what the power of my vision shown.

Amara was the one who supervised everything. There were no more workers in the mansion except for Amara, Steve, Chef and the two others. Maybe they had noticed that they didn't had a boss, so they chose to leave. But I knew everyone there was thinking that I was having a vacation alone in another country, and it would take me a long time before I could go back there because what they only knew was that I was still mourning my parents' death.

Alicia erased the memories of my workers about those weird things that happened, and they were thinking that I needed to go to another country so that I could move on from what happened to my parents. They would never know I was committing crimes to survive and to be free from the curse.

Soon, when I mastered all sorts of magic, I wouldn't need to worry about anything if that happened, and I could also take revenge for my parents' death. I needed to do my best to find the next person, so that I wouldn't waste a long time of my life seeking freedom from the curse.

"We have been searching for a long time, but until now we haven't seen the third person that I need to kill yet," I complained.

"Kaila, your complaint cannot help us find what we are searching for, so please have more patience, because we can do nothing against destiny if it's not the right time for the next person to die," Alicia replied.

"But why are we still searching if we can find nothing because destiny doesn't want us to see the person we are searching for? We're making ourselves fools who are looking for something we cannot be find."

"Have you forgotten the reason why we are searching? Because we want to find the person that you need to kill and we cannot waste our time wool-gathering. Don't complain because I know you are not feeling tired doing anything like me. That was why I chose you to help me, because you seemed to be tireless."

"You have a point. Maybe it will be better if I would consider what we are doing as a game, because if I won't do anything, nothing would happen either. I'm not tired-pursued as what you have said, so we should continue searching the third person."

"That's-you are clever-you can easily understand the purpose of what we are doing, and those kinds of people I like the most, those who don't give up as long as they don't get the things they need."

"You're right, so there's no more word to say. Where do you think we can find the third person? My palm is itching, and I need to kill that person so that I can have peace of mind if my mission is already done." "Are you sure you are ready to fight the third person? Are not you scared of what that person can do or what capability or power does that person have?"

"There's nothing to worry about, especially since I had a good mentor," I mumbled, thinking about the power of vision. "I can protect myself from those weak people. They are just one flip away from my fingertip."
