The Whispering Fetus
When the babies in my womb were about five months old, I suddenly heard my daughter's voice in my head.
"Mommy, Bella is trying to get rid of me. She's grabbing my umbilical cord with her hands. It hurts so much…"
Believing Ava, I forced myself to eat nonstop and take every supplement I could. I even asked the doctor whether there was any medicine that could suppress Bella's growth.
When I was in labor, the fetuses were too large. I lost so much blood and only delivered Ava before I died. Bella died in me as well.
Right before my consciousness faded, I saw the newly born Ava looking at me with a wicked smile.
"You idiot. You believed everything I said. Your luck, Bella's luck, and even Daddy's luck. I'll gladly take them all."
Only then did I realize that Ava, whom I fought so hard to give birth to, was a monster.
When I opened my eyes again, it was back to the very first day I heard Ava's voice in my head.
