Days have become real crucial for Edna after the death of her beloved grandmother. She would often look at the sky and wonder where her life is gonna go. Her foster mother blamed her, telling she was the bad omen who had brought sickness upon the village and so from then on, even the villagers started blaming her. When she could no longer take it, she decided to leave her foster house to a place where her path would lead.
But unfortunately she did not know that wherever her path leads her, it's going to be a disaster as the dark forces have already anchored themselves to fight against her. Though her fate tricked her often, her heart never betrayed her, for she always felt strong deep inside and was ready to face whatever was coming for her.
It was a quiet summer afternoon when Edna finished all her chores and decided to take a nap, but who should come but her foster mother with fruits which were fresh and offered them to Edna!
At first she was quite taken aback when she was offered some. "Here you go Edna, take one" she offered. "Are you really giving it to me, mother" she said. "If you don't want them..... it's fine" she said and started to leave. But that was the very first time her mother had offered her something and she couldn't refuse it. All the more, she was really happy because so far her mother was ignorant about her but now everything is changing.
Just as she was about to take a bite, there came a voice which said "Stop it Edna, don't eat". Edna was dumb founded as she saw her father rush towards her to grab the fruit to throw it in the ground."P....pa....papa.... Why???" she asked.
"Unless you want to die" he said and went away. She saw the expressions of her foster mother which carried disappointment but did not express in her presence. That very night when everybody was fast asleep, there came a knock on Edna's door.
"Who is it?" she asked, but did not get any reply. She got up from her bed and went towards the door and opened it slightly and was shocked to find her father standing. "Father?" she said.
"May i talk to you for a second?" he requested. "Of course" she said and took him into her small room. He took a look at her room and said "The day you came into my life, i started loving you.... but sorry i lost my way for years, Edna. Will you ever forgive me?" he pleaded.
"I don't understand, father, what is this all about?" she asked. "Gaya told me everything about you, during her last days. But I can't tell you anything now. It's my responsibility to keep you safe..... which I have already failed" he said. Edna was totally confused. Looking at her expressions he said "The fruit..... was.... poisoned... She wants you dead. She thinks you are a bad omen, Edna".
Gaya has told her son, completely about Edna, as she knew soon her time was going to end. Her son felt bad for the way he treated her and wanted to make it up to her. But they did not expect Gaya to leave them so soon.
"Did you know your grandmother...was.....a werewolf? Edna" he asked her. Edna nodded her head and said with a sad smile"Yes father.... and through her I started loving them". He gave her a loving smile which consoled her grandmother's absence.
"On the day she saved me..... she.... she lost somebody she loved.... she said it was her mate" she said. "I know, father, she told me" she said."It's not my place to tell you anything, Edna but I want you to leave this place and never come back" he said.
This made her dumbstruck because she is still there, just for him. She could not understand the reason for him dismissing her. "You would have been dead if I was late" he said and she was shocked. "You think she offered you a fruit, just like that... silly Edna..... she poisoned those fruits." he said.
"But father.... Why did she? What have I done for mo.... mother...." she started crying. "It's simple Edna.She is not your mother and I can't protect you from her..... that's why you have to leave." he said. "Where will I go father?" she asked.
He stood up from where he was sitting and moved to the window and pointed to the most dashing scenery that stood far from them. "The endless mountains?" she gasped. "That's home for you Edna..... this is not..." he said.
Edna's heart started racing very fast for all Gaya told her about the place was pure fantasy and about the beasts there. "But father..... we live far from the magical creatures..... werewolves" she said. "You need not hide from them Edna..... they are your family... You belong to the werewolves and not us" he said.
Edna is truly a human. How can she be a werewolf? What truth is her father about to reveal ? Will she accept the offer? Will she reach the endless mountains when there are dark witches waiting to kill her? Does her father know about these witches and leading her into a trap? Travel with me to know more answers.
