Scarlet Ibis

Scarlet Ibis

Jul 31, 2018

My mom always said never be afraid of who you are, be yourself, be proud of the gifts you have because you only live once. I love music, my favorite is the piano .......mom was so talented...I loved watching her play that lovely soothing melody, it was because of her that I wanted to be a singer......she encouraged me, she told me to let the world hear me.

I loved singing but one day as I was doing my first song.....the people.....they were screaming ......they were coughing hard and soon...blood....there was blood they were vomiting blood their eyes were turning black.... I....I couldn't stop the song....I knew I was hurting them but I couldn't stop the song.....then...I saw it...a bird.....it was a red bird with a black beak and feet,.......I could hear it...my dark soul.....it was making me kill the people with my music, I could hear everyone screaming as they all died one by one....then silence...why?...why did this happen?......I never wanted to hurt anyone, I just wanted to make beautiful music just like my mother......so why......why did this happen?...why me.

After that anytime someone heard my songs the red bird would appear and cause great pain and torment, my mother was killed that night, so I was left alone with my grandmother who didn't want me, she said she didn't want a monster like me so she sent me away to live with this man, he was a total stranger, he used me to kill so that he could steal money and valuables from those who heard my song, but he said it wasn't enough, soon I was joined by two more children, Leonard and Giovanni, Leonard had this strange ability, he could create a shield and for the first time in my life...I wasn't afraid of hurting people.....they could hear me for the first time in years....I was happy.
