Chapter 1 - The Kiss Of Death
I was once told by my grandmother that I was special. That our family possessed the gift from a goddess to only give birth to girls of extreme beauty.
For centuries, my family has only consisted of girls. Some of my ancestors thought of it as a never-ending curse but others embraced it.
Of course, my grandmother told me that my mother knew that she was going to love me no matter what.
She also told me how beautiful and kind she was; how she’d always help someone in need no matter what happened to her.
She died when I was young and with my father not in the picture, I was left alone with my grandmother to raise me up.
I loved her company, and she appreciated mine too. She always told me that I was an old soul, trapped in the past.
Tonight was special. Grandma told me that I was born at midnight so today and tomorrow are my birthdays. It might sound great but trust me, it is very confusing when you think about it.
I could feel the cold wind hit against my cheeks, making my skin turn a deep shade of red. It has suddenly turned so cold. I could hear the chatter of teeth and see the shivers of people foolish enough to leave their house without a coat.
I looked around myself and I froze when I saw it. Was that frost... forming on the windows? I suddenly felt a little scared and extremely cold.
Amy? Who was calling my name? I turned around when I suddenly felt something extremely cold hit the back of my head. It was burning my skin...
I turned around but saw no one. I touched the back of my head and winced as I felt the pain. Did someone press dry ice against the back of my forehead or something?
It really hurt... and what of that whisper? It could have chilled my bones! I suddenly feel unsafe outside.
In the middle of the town square, I started to run home. Grandmother always told me to be cautious at night. Monsters lurked in the darkness, or so she claimed.
I got home earlier than expected. My grandmother wobbled over to the door, cane in hand, and smiled at my return.
Grandmother
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
I couldn't help but chuckle. This is our little joke since we don't really know which day is considered to be my birthday.
Her eyes fell on the box that I was carrying and my breathless panting.
Grandmother
Where you being chased?
Amy Angel
Not at all! I just... fancied some exercise is all.
She looked at me suspiciously before taking the cake from my hands.
Grandmother
Get out of those wet clothes and take a shower! You've shivering!
I quickly did what I was told and took off my soaking coat. I ran into the bathroom and started off by taking a steamy shower.
However, even after turning the temperature up to the highest degree, I couldn’t shake off this chill. And it was only getting worse. What was going on with me? Was I sick?
