It sucks when you're born with bad luck already given to you as a gift from some sort of pissed off deity. Kurea knows exactly how that feels. Before she was even born she was already unwanted, her father was so enraged after the news he wanted to get his wife and abortion because he only wanted one child. Luckily for her Kurea does have her lucky moments, her first was that her mother doesn't believe in abortion and thinks of it as murder. But, then again karma is a double sided sword. Since her father was having another baby he was hoping for it to be a boy.
When she was born it seemed that even the world didn't even want her. It was trying to kill her in the first few seconds of her life outside of her mother's womb. You see, Kurea was choking on her own umbilical cord to the point that she was blue turning to purple. Doctors were too scared to even try cutting it loose, it was so tight to her throat that they might cut her neck and she would bleed out. Her parents "gave the ok", but they only basically said "who gives a s**t, take the chance."
She doesn't remember much of her life as a little child except for the stories she was told. Little things like her uncle accidently dropping her down the stairs at two years old, then falling down the stairs again months later, only in a baby walker this time. She was never the favorite child. That title went to her older sister. Her sister was five years older than Kurea and she was perfect. She was smart, athletic, popular, who wouldn't want her as part of the family. This made her parents expect a lot from Kurea. The question was "would she let them down?"
Now, obviously if her parents don't want her they would find her a babysitter, and they did. An older couple who lived about a mile away from them took the job. They were the first good thing that had happened to Kurea in her whole life. She spent most of the time there, even a whole day there when there was a flood warning and her mother and father refused to pick her up. Kurea truly loved them more than her own mother and father. I think they saw that because when Kurea was baptized her babysitters became her godparents. They continued to babysit little Kurea but now refused pay. It was weird; usually the people that befriend Nayre's parents end up hating Kurea, but not them. Never them, they loved her more than anyone in her life. They spent almost every day together. The funniest thing that happened to Kurea when she was there was when they secretly gave her a sip of coffee when she was three. She was bouncing off the walls, literally.
Another person who cared a lot for Kurea was of course, her grandmother. She became Nayre's new babysitter and she took shifts between her grandmother and her godparents. Her grandmother wasn't like her godparents. She was older, calmer, more at peace with life than anyone in her life was. When Kurea was over at her house they would talk and watch television. Shows like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Celebrity Squares, you know the old game shows. Sometimes when she would want time alone, usual to watch soap operas that she would know Nayre would hate, she would let Kurea on the computer. Kurea was about five year old now so it was ok. It was just one room away so she could hear anything and everything that happened. Having three people love Nayre was just fine to her she didn't know any better, she was a child she loved everyone back, even her mother, father, and sister who didn't even want her born. Of course after everything was getting good at home, schools starts to make her life worse.
