I open my eyes and all I remember is being in the front lawn of Levy's house. My vision is blurry for a few seconds and then clears. The first thing I see is a cup of water in a fluorescent pink cup. My dad walks in with something in a bag. "Happy birthday," he says quietly.
I am now officially 14. It has now been 5 years since the attack that I will never forget. It is a literal mental scar. I try to sit up but I'm to weak. My dad helps me sit up and then hands me the bag.
I take the tissue paper out slowly because my muscles are tired. When I finally get to the present I take it out. It's a tiara and a bag of Mira's milk chocolate bites. He knows I love chocolate especially made by Mira, and the the tiara represents me being his little princess. I smile and put the tiara on to make it seem like I"m not going to ask about my weakness or frail stability.
I haven't thought of mom since I was 8. She died when I was 7. The last thing she told me was "You have a special ability that you won't discover for a while. I'm giving you a fair warning if you don't use it and learn to control it you will become like I at a younger age." I'm starting to understand what she said now.
I'm guessing if I don't ask about it soon another war will be waged or I will die within the last days of the month.I am guessing that is why Levy and Erza looked weird when they came down from the attic. I am guessing that my dad told them what was up with me but why won't he tell me. If my mom was here I am sure she would tell me. Does Dad have these special abilities or does the whole town?
Maybe the trunk she hid for me will have answers of a way to solve my problem. If Dad found the box he probably would have hid it until he was allowed to tell me the secret. Mother said she hid the box and didn't let father know about it. I have to solve a riddle to find the box. The riddle is:
Starlight, star bright oh how I wish I can see your shine.
I am hidden where the sun does not shine and the moonlight does not reach.
If you are fragile, weak,and have a pure soul your heart will lead the way.
What does she mean where the sun does not shine and the moonlight does not reach? I don't get it. This is all confusing me and now i'm getting a headache from my thoughts. I think it's best if I ask dad before I pass out on my birthday. As I was about to ask he spoke.
Father said, "I'm guessing that you want to ask about why you are so fragile and weak. I will give you an explanation soon but let us enjoy the day more." He just smiled after that like it wasn't a big deal. It's a big deal especially if it has something to do with my mother. Mother was always straight forward with everything. It was as if she could never tell a lie. I sighed and nodded my understanding. I really wish he would just tell me but I don't want to ruin the day.
