Tanmei Fairy Tales

Chapter 49. The Ugly Duckling Leaving the Nest

My name is Shellitz and I was picked up by my mother, Kathy.She said that the name came from the most touching love poem she had ever read, which reminded her of the warm sun on the branches after the snow.But my life is not like that.

I am 15 years old. For 15 years, I felt that I had been living in the cold winter.People around me looked at me with cold eyes.If there are occasional warm suns in my life, then the only one that can shine on me is probably Kathy.

But Kathy wasn't my biological mother.On this point, she never hid it from me, and she couldn't hide it.Because I'm blond and Kathy's long, soft hair is tan.When I was young, I loved lying in her arms and acting like a baby, running down the waterfall with my hands, and listening to Kathy's heartbeat, as if I was in a warm nest.

But this little nest that has raised me for 15 years has always been lonely.I know Kathy is a romantic person, but she is over forty years old and still unmarried.

When I was young, I used to be puzzled.I drew three stick figures on the paper, one with blond hair, one with brown hair, and the other, I put a question mark on his face, poked the face of the question mark with my finger, and asked Eyes urged Casey: Why don't you find me a father?

I naively thought at the time, if I had a tall, strong adoptive father, those guys who said my voice was like "a dog with its tongue cut out" would be taught a lesson!

But Kathy's hesitant eyes made the fire of hope ignited in my heart extinguished again and again.I even blamed Kathy, I found her useless and unattractive.Why do other children have both parents, but my mother is alone?Why do other children have a tall figure called "Father" to stand up for them when they are bullied, but I can only lie in my mother's arms and cry?

Then one day, I suddenly figured it out—I was the one who caused Casey to suffer!Yes, it must be because of my existence.Because I am imperfect and crippled, my biological mother does not want me; the kind Kathy takes me in, but no one is willing to take in her lonely heart, and no one is willing to walk into this home and share the burden with Kathy. I am so tired!It turned out that everything was caused by me, it was my fault!

I ran away from home that day, hungry and shivering in the cold wind.When Kathy found me, she was crying, wailing.She rushed over and hugged me tightly and said, "Shelize, you are enough for me, really! You are enough for me..."

So I went home with Kathy and tore off the half of the paper with the question mark face on it.There is no need for a third person in the warm little nest of the two of us.

But when I woke up this morning, suddenly many strangers knocked on our door, disturbing our peaceful little nest.We were like frightened sparrows, being chased and fled by people with cameras. At that moment, I felt that they were like hunters, and we were the prey.

As I ran, I asked Kathy, "What the hell is going on? Why are they chasing us?"

But Kathy just cried: "Don't ask my child, please don't ask! Run, let's find Mr. DeVry, he is a good man..."

Kathy is giving me away!Finally, even she doesn't want me anymore!

I stood where I was, refusing to leave, begging.But she said: Sorry child, this is the only way.

At that moment I knew that Kathy's nest could no longer shelter me.But we clearly agreed before that we don't need a third person, I don't need...

The "Fountain of Life Project" is real, and the "Fertility Farm" is real.Although this story is my imagination, it is really possible that it happened in a corner of time and space.The story is so dark I don't think anyone will want to read it.Probably something called "conscience" is forcing me to write.
