Chapter 1 - Ch1- Blessed/Cursed child

(Life, god and everyone was creul to Alora. In the orphanage, she has been there since she was a baby, no idea of her parents or any family member, she got bullied by other kids for her seemingly cursed features like her pure white hair and her eyes, a mismatched yet beautiful pair of one red eye fueling with rage and another golden eye that stared at you in a sweet manner. Her features weren't the only thing, she could see ghosts, obviously it frightened her but she got used to it, she used to warn some people about ghosts clinging onto them as some vengeful ghosts can suck the life energy out of some people, people presumed her as a young prankster. One more peculiar thing, there was a red bar above each person's head with numbers and cause? Alora began to realise that no one could see it except for herself and she confirmed it that it was the number of time they have left to live, 'numbers' and the cause of death was the 'cause'. She was gentle and sweet in nature and still would warn some people. "Her behaviour is 'abnormal'."- Some thought and others thought she should go to a mental hospital. A caretaker who used to cook for the orphanage,'Ms.Johnas' was destined to die in 4 days as given from the red bar. The caretaker like others, was rude to Alora, she was a kid but definitely a demon kid for her appearance. So when Alora tried to warn her:-)

Alora: Ma'am, please do not consume any wild mushrooms from the forest.

Johnas: Who are you to tell me that, kid?

Alora: Please don't, it might affect your health.

Johnas: Listen, l have been consuming those for 25 years and never has my health degraded.

Alora: This time, it might be different?

Johnas: Oh, listen, if you wanna have them, just ask.

Alora: Thanks but-

Johnas: Not like I'll give them to you anyway.

(Johnas's menacing glare was frightening Alora, she was a kid, just 6 years old, nobody once treated her right or like any other kid in the orphanage....)

Johnas: I guess you disobeyed a rule so no food for you today.

(Alora could just silently walk away, she wasn't strong enough to argue and wouldn't like to get beaten like the other day. Four days passed, in the afternoon, Alora saw Ms.Johnas drinking some wild mushroom soup so she ran and snatched it away from her hands.)

Johnas: Ah! This kid again! I told you that I cant give these!

(Alora refused to return it and quietly backed down and just dropped it on the floor, Johnas slapped Alora across the face, everyone saw that the liquid that Alora dropped has melted the floor, the soup was perfect in that steel pot then how on the wooden surface, it melted!?)

Johnas: You did this! You demon kid!

Alora: No, l saved you literally.

Johnas: No wonder you were acting so strange!

(Every kid and caretaker in the room looked at Alora with a glare so terrifying that it would scare a lion from 10 feet away, Alora, a sweet, timid and gentle child wasn't new to this but whenever it happenend it just felt new to her..)

Johnas: She should be locked up or something!

(Some people protested that she was just a kid and it wouldn't be quiet right to do that, it wasn't even clear who did that, neverthless, it was a crime...)

Johnas: She should be sent away atleast! Look at her white hair and eyes!! Exactly like a devil's...Maybe even more than a devil's.

Mary: Be quiet Johnas! We know that and we don't care!

Johnas: How about you take care of her?

Mary: Ummm, about that, I can't...I have many other children to look after.

Johnas: Sure, sure, that's an excuse!

Mary: NOT an excuse!

(Alora could care the least about that, she knew they hated her so why was she still so suprised by this? A kid but her capabilities is beyond what humanity could measure...Alora just turned away and left the room ignoring all the stares.)
