The Cursed Blessing
Chapter 4
" It all started a long time ago, when your great-grandfather, Nonno, met your great-grandmother, Nonna." began Sally. " They met under very difficult circumstances. During that time, their country was at war. A very devastating one, at that. Crops were dry, animals were dying, people were fleeing for their lives. " " Your great-grandparents, got married during that time, that place, and then ran away to this country, where all was at peace. Then your grandparents were born and so on." Sally said.
Now Jerold took up the story." Due to their poor backgrounds, they never thought twice when they were given a money-making deal. The deal was, that if they accepted a necklace, they would be given a small fortune." " You and I know that this would be a bad idea, and we would not accept the deal. But of course, your great-grandparents didn't. S.."
" So they accepted it? " asked Chris, shocked.
" Unfortunately, they did, Chris. " Sally continued. " Now, when they agreed, what they never knew was that this necklace was cursed. It was a black, evil, heart pendant that's separated into two parts. We tried to reduce the evil and stop it from working, and connected the two parts together. But, when it broke, the dark monster within it was released once again. " Sally said.
" Ever since then, all the girls of this family have been suffering. They see strange things, like you did Sirena. It was not ordinary, that light you saw. It was the root of all evil calling you. And earlier, if Chris hadn't woke you, you might have been gone. Done, gone, vanished off the face of Earth without a trace." now Sally was concernedly looking at Sirena.
The few seconds of silence after Sally said that was broken when Chris asked a very important question. " In that case, why doesn't Dina have anything? Sirena doesn't even live here! " he exclaimed.
" Well, only the girls with pure spirits, like you, me, Jerold and Sirena. Sirena is vital. She is the last pure spirited girl in this family." added Sally.
Sirena nodded, and Jerold sighed. He was tired of being tired of explaining this to every generations' girls.
" Is there any way that this curse or whatever can be stopped forever?" asked Sirena.
" Yes, there is. Many before you have tried, and failed to return. They all got taken over by the evil." Sally said sadly.
"How to stop it then?" asked Chris.
"When one connects the two hearts together again as one heart. But the person who does it must be a pure spirit girl who is suffering, and is stronger than the evilness itself." Sally added.
"But finding the two parts of the hearts itself is a challenge. One lies at the desert, and one in the cold north. Both very difficult to find." said Jerold, now with a serious look.
"O..K..Chris, can I speak to you for a moment?" asked Sirena.
"Sure." Sirena literally dragged Chris into his bedroom.
