Diana’s life was shaped by four haunting words her mother whispered before abandoning her, “Don’t ever let go.”
Years later, she still struggles to understand why the woman who gave her away would also disown her.
Haunted by rejection and weighed down by secrets, Diana discovers a truth she was never prepared for: a fire buried deep within her, a power that burns brighter and fiercer whenever her emotions spiral out of control.
All she ever wanted was a normal life. But as one love withers into betrayal, another blooms with strength. A shadow waits in the darkness, preying on her growing power. Can she truly bear the weight of her family’s legacy and train herself, even as her own body begins to betray her?
What happens when even her DNA is a lie? When she steps into a world she knows nothing of, facing an impending doom that threatens not only herself but the world?
Born a lethal weapon, Diana has now fallen into his hands. The world isn’t ready for them no one is. Will she let go for her own happiness, risking doom for others? Or will she be selfless, and sacrifice everything for a world that doesn’t even know she exists?
EXCERPTS ::
" You will be staying with your cousins for a while Mi Amor " I tried to read her emotions but it was blank almost like there wasn't one, like it was normal for me to stay with them. My mama would never allow me stay with someone else so the question why ? Still remained " I don't want to go , I won't leave you alone in the house " a very futile effort to stand my ground " Listen D!! I need you to go with them they will be hear soon and I need you to be a good girl ! And stop acting like this is good bye. Whatever you feel, whatever emotion you feel I want you to suppress it , suppress it all Mi amor , Don't ever let it out ! " At this point the only thing I felt was confusion " I don't understand you " my voice barely a whisper " promise me you won't let go !! Promise me you will never let go " honestly I thought she was running mad " let what go Ma? what shouldn't I let go off ? you need to tell me because I don't understand you " I wasn't even sure she was listening to me " there is something lurking in the shadows for you , it's waiting !" She held me tight as she said those words "a monster? " I asked her " Yes D it's a monster Don't let it win " I couldn't even ask her more before my uncle walked in " Common princess your mum needs some time alone " he said as he collected a bag from my mum , my guess was my clothes were in it " See you soon mum " it hurt me that she didn't reply .
We were on the road heading to his house but my mind was at home at my house with my mum " I'm sure your cousins will be so happy to see you " I almost forgot about them! He just had to burst my bubble . I was already quite uncomfortable with the feeling in my gut it made me squirm in my sit . I couldn't explain the feeling at first it was pain but then an itch not the type you feel when you have measles but a mild one like
..... i don't even know what it was like .
Most people fear the future , some fear their past , well I've always envied those people because what I fear is what lays within me . I can feel it always , it's like a lion waiting beneath the grass for the right time to pounce , like an owl searching the grounds for it's prey but I fear one day I will be the one doing the preying because I'm the one habouring the monster in my body .
I try my best to put a leash on it , to be normal and it hurts Everytime I try especially when I'm around people I'm human, well maybe not so human but a part of me is and humans irritate me . They don't even know the definition of happiness , they habour so many emotions like jealousy, joy , sadness so many strong emotions and it reflects in their life . Unfortunately this isn't a story about humans it's a story about a little girl who was part human , this is the story about a girl who didnt know how to let go and it affected her deeply , Her gift turned into a curse .
