Chereads / Cursed daughter of the duke / Chapter 4 - Welcome Back

Chapter 4 - Welcome Back

'I have been sleeping here for a long time now, i don't know how many days it has been i am still here and it feels like time has stopped moving... Sometimes i think about suzy while the other time i just go through all those memories in my previous life which didn't make much sense to me. But one thing that didn't change is that i still don't want to go back there and face those heartless people.' As Morana is in the black space her body is in the coma state. It has been 4 months since she is in a coma state, duke has been trying his best to help her but all the healer and doctors couldn't do anything and told the same thing that they have to wait for morana to wake up on her own. The news of Duke's youngest daughter who was called a monster was in a deep sleep was spread all around, many people visited to mansion but were sent back by dukes order as he knew that they were only trying to get on the good side of him through the situation. While on the other side Liana was too shocked to react about the situation and had closed herself in her room and so did Theo and no one was allowed to talk with them according to the Duke's order. While Duke and Argon were in Morana's room always looking after her and waiting for her to wake up.

Liana went to he father after 4 months of not talking "Father I need to talk with you about what happened that night" she said sobbing "Come sit here, are you finally ready to talk about that night?" "Yes Father" "I just want you to know that no matter what you do I just want all of you to be safe, but when you hurt others confront yourself and I will listen to you well" "Father I was too angry at her for taking mother away and then because of her big brother scolded me regarding her maids but i thought that's what she deserve and you too didn't liked her right?" "She is my daughter too Liana, I was just too scared to hold her because you all had your mother to hold you when you were this small and week but she has no one and i thought least her brother and sister will give her the love she missed. But it was my fault too I should have talked to you all after your mother died." Duke looks down and feels sad for his children. "I'm sorry father, I just wanted to scare her but I didn't knew my aura was so strong for her and I didn't mean to choke her" saying she started crying loudly. "You were wrong here Liana, powers are not for hurting others but to protect them and we Zeldanor family protect other with the help of our familiar and i hope you and Theo will ask for your sisters forgiveness when she wakes up" "She will wake up right father?" "She will dear, after all she is my daughter" he smiles. Theo and Argon were listening to their conversation outside the door when the duke calls them in "When are you both planning to come in?" said duke. Argon and theo came in and sat with them. "Its the first time we have sat together since your mother left us but i think it's just the start of us living together and moving on so that your mother will be at peace" "Yes father" they replied. Everyone decided to talk to Morana as it was something the doctor has recommended, they would take turns and tell her about how they feel and how sorry they are and how much they want to see her wake up but still not getting any response makes them more sad.

"You still don't feel like going back?" asked Dawn . 'Dawn is a name i have given him since he said he doesn't have a name and others called him dark' "Yes i still don't want to go, i feel good here just you and me and no other people" said Morana. "What if i say that your family is waiting for you?" "Don't make me laugh Dawn, they were the one who tried to kill me and now they are waiting for me.... That just doesn't makes sense" "You are just not ready to face that people do change" "Why should i see that after being hurt?" "People need second chances Morana" "What about me then?" "You have also been given a second chance to live a happy life" Which i never asked for." Dawn didn't say anything else after that and again silence was filled around Morana. 'Do i really don't want to go back? why am i even thinking about it?'

In 2 days it's gonna be Morana's 1 year birthday now but still there was no sign of her waking up. Many people told them to give up or that she must be cursed as a black aura started surrounding her few days before her birthday week. "What is happening to her father?" Theo asked "Nothing my child it's just her aura manifesting" "But others are telling that black is a cursed aura?" "There is no such thing Theo, and you make sure to never let anyone speak ill about your sister" "Yes father i will protect her and never let anyone speak ill of her" Duke smiled. Duke has decided to donate money to all the orphanage and buy many lands on Morana's birthday in her name but they were still hoping for her to wake up on her birthday so that they can finally ask for her forgiveness. Liana has decided to enter royal army after Morana's birthday so that she can be mature and can be able to protect others as well as her sister. Night before Morana's birthday Dawn asked her to look into the vision he is showing her, in that vision she could see all her family making preparations for her birthday, even though it was the day their mother and wife died they still tried to hide their sad emotion and do their best for Morana's first birthday. "So what do you say?" dawn asked her, as soon as he asked her tears started falling from her eyes "Do i really need to see this?" "Yes you do and you also need to know that they do love you, no one is forcing you to accept them just be there and let them convince you" "I won't open up for anyone and i won't care about them nor will i think of them as my family" "Its okay Morana you just have to live the way you want and not the other way around" "Alright then I'm ready to go back but what about you?" "OMG You love me now?" "Its my fault for asking you such a foolish thing" "No no i will be there for you when you wake up" "What do mean by that?" "See you on the other side" dawn said and morana was back in her body.'I almost forget that i was a small baby but still i think i grew a lot for the past few months, well of cause I'm turning 1 that's why' she thought. The black aura surrounding her was gone when she woke up and her room was well lighted for the night time and suddenly she heard someone broke a glass when she looked towards the sound the maid shocked by her waking up broke the glass. After coming to her senses she went and told everyone that Morana has woken up, as soon as they heard about it all her family came running to her room, the doctors and healers were summoned. "Welcome back my child" said the duke with his little teary eyes, her other sibling were crying and thanking her for waking up and the doctors were checking on her and everything. "Miss looks fine your highness" "Check again" said the duke and Argon was using his magic ability to heal even a small pain in her if detected. 'Aren't they overreacting about it, i mean even though i was in coma for a long time it doesnt mean im that ill' "That's what happens when people starts to worry about you" Dawn talked to ter in her mind through telepathy. 'where are you talking from?' she asked him. "Isn't this a great surprise for you o your birthday?"dawn asked 'No its not and why can i hear you?' "You will know when the time comes and why don't you enjoy while others are busy worrying about you." 'I can't get used to such attention, its feels a little awkward and i don't even know half of them and rest are the people i hate.' "It's just you giving yourself excuse" 'No its Not' "How are feeling now" the duke asked her touching her face carefully. Morana looked away without thinking which hurted him a little but he was ready to wait as long as it takes for her to accept them.
