CHAPTER 1 THE ROSE FAMILY HISTORY
“I don’t want this curse!! I just wish I was a normal!” she clutches her head in her hands and lets out an agonizing groan that brings tears to her mother’s eyes. Her mother, Ordina, gently takes her hand. “But you are not normal, you are rare. It’s in your blood and nothing you can say or do will ever change that!!
