Unfortunate Soul #1 Hilda Berg
Ever since she was a little girl, Hilda had always had a strange fascination with the sky and all that lied beyond it, like the stars. Her parents were to blame for that. Her father was a pilot for a unique air show and her mother was an astronomer. Everyday when Hilda's parent would come home they would speak endlessly of their day flying in the sky or watching how bright the stars would glow. From that point, her interest in the sky and the stars above peaked and before she knew it, who room was decorated with stars, moons, planets, etc. Her obsession never ceased, but grew and grew until it was her 17th birthday. Her father had a brilliant idea to impress his little girl. An air show just for her and all would be invited to watch as Hilda's father would spell her name in the sky "Hilda Berg! Child of the Stars!" It would be great! It would be grand!...or so everyone thought. On the day of the air show everyone was in attendance, especially Hilda. Her mother sat next to her, anticipating the finesse of her husbands flying skills. The show finally started and little Hilda could see her father flying high, spelling her name in the a big as the eye could see. A few twists, turns, and loop da loops here and there and there it was..Hilda's name spelled right before everyone. Hilda was so much more than amazed. After being obsessed with the sky and beyond for so long, she finally got to see herself up there. However, this happiness didn't last long as disaster struck. Hilda's fathers plane malfunctioned and soon was sent on a spiraling to the ground. What was once a scene filled with cheers and applause soon turned to screams and panic. There were fewer casualties than expected, but Hilda's mother was one of those casualties. Hilda's big day turned into one of the worst days of her life. A year had past and Hilda was on her own. She still had a fascination with the sky and the stars above which is why she decided to do what her father had trained his life for. She wanted to be a pilot just like him but fate had other plans. One day while watching the stars she was approached by a strange looking man. The man came to her with an offer he knew she couldn't refuse. He would give her the ability to make her dreams a reality, but...there would be a price. Hilda was no dummy by any means. She had seen this guys type before and he was no different from any door-to-door salesmen. She needed proof of his words and she made that clear to him. The man smiled and with the snap of his fingers Hilda began to float. Amazed beyond belief, she looked at the man. The man looked back and extended his hand. He again stated that he can make her dreams a reality, but only if she was willing to bay one itty bitty small price. Pay a itty bitty small price for the ability to flying higher than any dream could take her? She was all in. She shook hands with the man and it was there that her fate was sealed. Before leaving, Hilda asked the man who he was and he replied "I'm the devil kid! And trust me...I'll make you a "star""
End.
