If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 24

“I will open my eyes!” Xiao Mei Zhi decided. It was now or never. Who cares about pain, Who ever they were, what ever they will do to her there was no point on living without her mother on her side now. Why would she even listen to Doctor Frei? She actually left her mother to die. A choice that she regretted giving attention to. She was heartless!

And at that portion of time, the Xiao Mei Zhi from before became more doubtful at everything. Accelerating further the anxiety she has. With a recollection from how her father left her flickers shortly on her head.

It insanely boiled up her blood from deep within. She was emotionally unstable at the moment.

And so she eventually unfold her sights.

“No!” It was to late for Doctor Frei to take action.

Xiao Mei Zhi gaped at the human in front of her with a fair ivory skin, wearing a royal blue translucent cape, however, when she observed their ear she hold her crutches firmly. It was not a human at all. Part of their features symbolizes elves. ‘Do not look’ she warned herself but she stubbornly did it anyway.

Her eyes met with the human-elf at the same time she hushed her emotional state. Elxidors amber protruding eyes was brightly staring at her.

“I will let you see a memory that you have relinquished,”

“You are a human-elf.” She murmured in terror before her memory has been obtained back when she was just six years old.

[Switzerland, Xiao Mei Zhis Memory]

Xiao Mei Zhi went out from their house while riding at the back of a wolf. Suddenly she remembers, it was her first friend. She happily played with that predator. Then a human-elf appeared, the wolf hid her somewhere in the forest that even elves can not detect her smell and that was the last time she was able to see that wolf.

“Do you know that wolf?”

She did not answer.

“You must know now. That wolf was your father.”

“Lyari Elxidor, stop. She can not sink everything that happened today!” Doctor Gmeis stated at the elf.

As Elxidor and Doctor Gmeis continued to argue, Xiao Mei Zhi veered into her wisdom. .different dialogue from various moments, piling up one on top of the other in her mind. Most were from her mothers, some were from the previous bullies.

‘I want to get drunk because I do not need a daughter like you!’

‘Ha! She does not have a father, maybe her mother cheated!’

It was back, the voices from her head. Her heart battered in her chest and she merely abstained from crying out. She enclosed her ears, even she understood that it would not help.

More voices from her past got in. The words were blending together.

‘My cute young Zhi, do you believe that werewolves exists?’

Her mother once used to look over books of spirit sagas to let her speculate. She always claimed that none of it was real. And she never let her mother tell stories after that question.

While she did not care, she knew that her existence was a threat by just looking at the people around her. She was exactly something a tool for the eyes.

“She must be killed! Can you not even see? She is this weak!”

Xiao Mei Zhi use her crutches to stand up, she opened her mouth to say,

“Kill me!”

She was sure that she meant herself.. There were so many lies that she can not even accept the truth of it.
