The sun was shining bright outside like any other days but today was a special day. Special for just one person: Xiao ni Tian. Just like her birth name, she was cheerful; and a dignified girl. Most of the time, she was known as the tomboy of the school, or maybe the gang leader of the underworld. You may never know because her nicknames changed like her clothes from a daily basis.Tian was sat on the bench in town. She left the house in anger because none of her family members had remembered her 16th Birthday. Last night she stayed awake till 12:00, hoping that maybe her siblings and family will wish her Happy Birthday; but none did. They all went to sleep as soon as it was 11:00.
"I mean couldn"t they have just wished me, its just two words, nothing else" Tian mumbles to herself while looking at her feet. She didn"t even have a breakfast in the morning.
Everyone pa.s.sed by and they were all busy in their daily life works. n.o.body cared about Tian. She was just another teenager who could be hanging out with her friends in town. It was nearly 2 in the afternoon but n.o.body from home called to ask where she was. She was not with her friends, well she never had many friends, to begin with. Everyone would talk behind her back at school and how she was friendly with most boys. Lily only considered them as friends but everyone would misunderstand saying that she was a player. Boys are mostly considered the player, but now Tian was considered one as well.
Tian let out a deep sigh and realises that somebody was next to her. The lady was wearing a red mini dress and gla.s.ses. She was beautiful, something Tian thought she could never be. She had the perfect figure, whoever pa.s.sed by the bench always turned to look at her. Tian felt like she was a rock next to the flower. She lets out another deep sigh...
"You have been sighing a lot Lady" Tian nearly jumps up from the sudden voice. The lady next to her looks at Tian and smile in her amusing attractive way. Tian just smiles back in return, not knowing what to do.
"I am guessing your family forgot it was your Birthday" Tian looks at the Lady shocked. How did she guess precisely? Is the Lady a mind reader?
"How did you know?" Tian asks out of curiosity.
"The same thing happened to me. My family didn"t even know how old I was until they asked me today. Nevermind, my 16th Birthday; my first or any other birthday was not celebrated. Curses." As the Lady spoke more and more, her posture changed from a n.o.ble lady to an angry tomboy who was about to break everything.
Tian slowly moves away from the Lady, but soon the Lady composes herself again and once again she looked as attractive as before. Tian just smiles and tries her best not to be awkward. The beautiful Lady starts rummaging through her bag and finds a rings box that she gives to Tian. Tian looks at the blue box in her hand and then back at the Lady. The Lady gets up and smiles at Tian.
"Consider it as Birthday Gift from me" The Lady smiles at Tian before leaving. As she walks away, the Lady looked confident but confused the next. She turns around to look at Tian and then smiles again. "I hope that the right box, besides I have always kept that ring at home, so it won"t be that one." The Lady mumbles to herself and starts walking away from Tian.
Tian opens the box and finds a beautiful ring inside. It was a silver ring with a blue diamond-shaped attached to it. In the sunlight, you could see a little crest mark appearing in the diamond. Tiana looks at the ring, although the temptation to put on the ring was unbearable. Tian still controls herself and looks up to find the Lady since the gift looked super expensive. Mum had always told her not to accept gifts from strangers.
Tian quickly puts the ring back into the box and gets up to look for the Lady. She looks around, but couldn"t find anyone wearing a red mini dress. Tian walks a bit forward and looks around until she spots someone wearing a red dress going into the ally.
The place around the ally was closed down since construction work was supposed to start tomorrow. Tian quickly follows after the lady. When she enters the ally, there was no one. Tian starts walking forward, hoping that she could find the lady and return the ring to her.
A man suddenly appears behind Tian and raises his hand to attack her. However, Tian quickly jumps away from the man and punches him in the stomach with her fist. The man backs away but suddenly two more men appear in the ally. Where are they coming from? Could they be thieves? Thankfully, Tian had learned self-defence, which she was forced to do so by her father.
As one of the thieves come forward, Tian positions herself and gets ready to attack. It was time for her to use the magic attack that her master had taught her. The master said that this attack worked on both genders. As the man runs towards Tian, she quickly raises her legs and hits the target. The man collapses on the floor and holds his hands on to his precious pleasure place. A man wouldn"t be a man without his duck instead he would be a eunuch. He groans out in pain and swears out loudly.
Without realizing it, a man had already approached Tian from the back. He tried to reach for the box that was in her hand, but she moves away and the thief kisses the ground. Are they really thieves? Tian looks around and finds more people approaching towards her. Their faces covered in masks but this time, they looked stronger and bigger. Tian takes out the ring from the box.
"If this is what they are looking for then I better take it out from the box since they can easily s.n.a.t.c.h it away" Without thinking for another second. Tian puts the ring on her right-hand third finger. Tian looks up and sees the thieves walking towards her. Well, its time to use the best top move her master had taught her. Tian raises her hand and points her middle finger upwards at the thieves.
After seeing that, the thieves looked surprised for a second but then they start running towards her. Tian gets ready in the position, her legs forward and go! Tian starts running away. As fast as she could. Master had said this was the best move but for some reason, it really wasn"t a convincing one.
As soon as Tian runs, the diamond in her ring starts changing colour. After a second, Tian feels a sharp pain in her heart. Before she can even run 10cm away, Tian spits out blood and drops on the ground. What was happening to her? Her heartbeat becomes slower, but when it did beat her whole body moved. It was like something strong and powerful was walking towards her. Soon her vision starts to blur and everything around her feels smaller. Her strength felt like it was drained out. Darkness overtakes her and she lays there without moving.
The man approaches Tian and finds her unmoving. They look at each other; then one of the thieves takes out his phone and dials an unknown number. After mumbling few words in the corner, the thief walks forward and announces...
"The boss has told us to bring her back!"
Upon hearing that everyone starts moving quickly. One of the masked men comes forward; picks up Tian in his arms and starts following everyone.
Tian"s fate was about to change. For better or worse? No one knows.
