the cupboard

she was slowly walking towards the brown cupboard present in the corridor. there were laughing sounds coming from the drawing-room. it was the voice of her mother who was laughing. she knew nobody would come to stop her so she kept on going. her heart was beating very fast as she put her hands on the lock. at the same time, she saw her father coming downstairs. his eyes widen after he saw her as she hurriedly tried to open the doors. he started running towards her. at the same time, she got pushed by some hidden force and fall on the cold floor.

"Evelyn!" her father's voice trembled and it was the last sound she heard before blacking out completely.

-----------------------------------------------

her eyes slowly opened as she saw herself in her room and a mirror right in front of her bed. she hissed as she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head. she got up and went downstairs.

"morning baby! how was your sleep?"

"just a so-so dad. and I also saw a weird dream," she replied.

"o, sweety! don't worry it was just a dream right? go and get ready for your school...." she heard her mother's voice from the kitchen.

"I already got ready mom. and your pretty daughter is hungry"

"just a minute. sit down for a while. breakfast is almost ready" her mom said...

"It is your birthday tomorrow. what do you want for a gift?" her father asked

"probably a sword or a gun" she replied

"your sword collection is already so big, but you don't have any guns. ok, I will get you one but you will not use it. just for collection. ok"

"ok, dad. bye I gotta go"

"Just sit down and have your breakfast. this is the thing I made for you and you have to eat it." her mother said as she put pancakes in front of her.

she sat down as she started eating. she was not enjoying it as it was her favorite dish.

"mom! did you put anything new in this?"

"no! it is the same recipe as you liked" mom replied

"I think I don't want to eat. I will get going." she said while getting up."bye mom and dad"

"bye dear" they replied

: after her going:

mom:" I think her punishment is ending. that's why she doesn't like the taste of this food"

dad: "hope so that's the case...."

========================

the whole day Evelyn was feeling weird. she did not eat any kind of food except meat. she was liking the meat so much. she also wanted to dig her nails and teeth in the flesh of bullies. she saw a road accident happening in front of her and a lot of blood but she didn't flinch. it is not that she was a coward before. she was just not brave enough to see blood and touch it. that's right! she also touched the blood. her inner self wanted to taste it but she controlled herself and left.

[the next day]

her mom asked her to get ready as they were going to their old house. she also told Evelyn to bring the birthday gift she and her dad got her. she told her to wear the long navy blue dress she kept in her room along with a pair of shoes, diamond jewelry, and a tiara.

she got ready and came down looking stunning. she thought her parents had prepared a surprise for her.

when they reached their old home, she saw that there was nothing like a party.

"why you bring me here dad?" she got surprised.

" to show you the truth of yourself" her dad replied as she was nervous.

"did you keep the sword and guitar that we brought you? mom questioned.

"yes I did but you didn't get me a gun."

"as I told you they do not sell guns to minors. why you do not understand?" her dad said.

"fine. stop fighting" her mom said as she went inside followed by Evelyn and her dad.

they took Evelyn to the basement of the house. she saw that it was the same place she saw in her dreams most frequently. in front of the long corridor, there was a cupboard fitting perfectly in the wall.

" This is the cupboard you see in your dreams right? " her mom said.

"How did you know?"

this cupboard is your real self. we were punished for 60 years but you were just a newly born so your punishment was 16 years. " her mom was telling her.

"what are you saying, mom?" she was so confused.

"y_you are not a normal human Evelyn. you are a werewolf princess." her dad said..

"I am a ...WHAT......." she was shocked.....

a tear dropped from he mother's eye.
