The morning came quick, and my head ache like hell. I stared around my room and I couldn’t find Micky.

” Micky?! ” I called but I didn’t hear any sign of him.

” Diana, your breakfast is ready. ” I heard Dad say from the outside.

” Okay, dad, give me a second. ” I said, stepping out of the bed. ” Ouch! ” I screamed at the pain in my wrist.

” Diana, are you alright? ” He asked, sounding concerned.

I was staring at my bruised wrist, teeth marks on it. ” Yes, I’m fine. I just twisted and ankle. ”

” Okay, but try to be watchful next time. ”

” I will. ”

It’s face appeared to me, everything displaying in my head as if it were happening right now.

And how come no one heard me screaming? Was my voice too thin to travel a long distance?

Rule number one, I’m definitely not leaving the house at night anymore.

Now I see why everyone locks their doors as soon as it turns seven. Now, I’m going to suffer this hell of pains alone.

I had a quick brush and a hot shower, rushing down for breakfast.

” What took you so long? ” Mom asked and I shook my head. ” What’s this? ” She shook her head like I did and I smiled.

” Nothing, mom. ”

” What happened to your wrist? ” Dad asked as he saw the white cloth I had tied around the bitten spot.

” Nothing, just thought of doing something fashionable. ”

Mom laughed, ” What do you know about being fashioned? ”

” Everything, mom, I just know much that you don’t. ”

” Wow, I’m impressed. ”

” Thanks. ” I took my spoon, staring at my food but my mind was totally somewhere else for a moment.

What does it signify to be bitten by a wolf? Does it means that I’m gonna die very soon?

My tiny brain is too weak to think, and very soon. Just very soon, I’ll be getting insane.

We finished eating and I went back to my room, if Micky is gone he’s probably going to return any time from now.

I just hope he’s safe out there.

I decided never to tell anyone, not even Micky about this. It’s my little secret, and if I die, I know I’m gonna die for damn good.

I’ve been such a stubborn kid, I deserve anything that happens next.

The day slowly passed by and yet, I noticed no reactions in me. I was just as good as nothing happened.

Maybe I was overthinking the fact that I was going to die. And for two good times I thought about that, I’m still seeing myself alive and… Okay!

No high hopes yet, Diana. And likewise don’t give up hope. You’ll be fine, just believe it. I kept calming myself with those words.

But the real question is… Am I?

I mean, I’m freaking out here and my legs are dancing to no tune at all.

Why am I suddenly feeling strange? Am I really going to die soon?

Oh, no… I’m doomed.

I felt like telling someone, I desperately wanted to but I can’t. First, not my mom and it’s definitely not my dad either or… I’m doomed for good.

I wished the years would come and go successfully whereby I would be like twenty two years old and no one will have to question whatever I do.

You’re overthinking, Diana, and you’re probably going insane.

Days, weeks, months and now two fucking years has passed and I’m still breathing air!

I’m not dead! I’m not dead!

From my room I could hear mom and dad jubilate. I’m actually not in the mood to listen to any of that.

Its me sitting my ass on my bed and thinking of a way to clear this shit out of my head.

I looked at my bruised wrist, it’s still the same as two years ago. The mark, it’s fucking permanent.

Mom knocked on my door, ” Diana, you need to hear this. ” She said, I could still sense the joy in her voice.

I opened the door, and we both went downstairs. ” You really won’t believe this, ” she began, ” your uncle Kelvin has decided that you will live with him! ”

I gasped, I was looking interested this time. ” Really?! ” I asked almost like a scream. ” Uncle Kelvin really said that? ”

” Yes he did, look… ” She gave me the letter he had sent, ” it’s written here. Read it for yourself. ”

I read every writing on the paper, it was honestly true. Uncle Kelvin requested that I should come over to America?! To live with him?!

Oh, my goodness!

” When did he wants me to come? ” I asked, anxiously.

” In two days time, he wants you to stay with his kids. You know, he’s really busy at work and so is his wife. ” Mom looked at Dad, ” don’t you think she’s too small for that? I mean, it’s not like she’s eighteen, she’s fourteen. ”

” Maybe he just wants me to play along with his children instead of waisting my years here. Or even, he can decide on training me in school. What do you think? ”

” Yeah, she’s right. ” Dad agreed.

” Why didn’t I thought about that? ” Mom slapped her forehead. ” Well, let’s get you packing. But, what about your clothes, you really need new ones. ”

” I’m fine mom, I can manage it. ”

” No, Diana, I don’t want those out there to see you as garbage. You know, I’ve heard a lot about them, they are insultive. I won’t like when someone insults my little daughter. ” She held my both cheeks, rubbing her forehead against mine.

I giggled, ” No one will, mom. Trust me. ”

” I do, sweetheart. Mommy does trust you. ”

That’s it, how life was back then when I was little. And yet, the little secret had to go with me to America.

What about Micky, he might be dead, who knows? Since that night, I haven’t set my eyes on him.

Mom and dad had asked me of him a million times but, I just don’t know where the heck he went to.

I will miss him… A lot.

Two days later, Uncle Kelvin came to pick me up as promised.

And that… That was the last time I saw Acanda.

But I’ve been sending letters to dad and mom, they both seem to be doing great. With uncle Kelvin sending new things to them, they’re probably doing just great.

And the bruise, let’s still keep that as my little secret…
