BELIEVES

Nena had spent most of her life trapped within the confines of her own mind. At the tender age of fifteen, she had been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, a condition that caused her to manifest different identities or "alters." But her family, unable to comprehend or accept her mental condition, believed that she was cursed with ghosts. They subjected her to unspeakable torment, believing they were exorcising the evil spirits within her.

Nena's days were filled with pain, both physical and emotional. Her family members would lock her in a dark room, perform rituals, and even resort to physical abuse. Their misguided attempts to free her from the perceived curse only served to deepen her anguish. With each passing day, Nena's spirit withered, and she became a shell of her former self.

Meanwhile, Alex, a childhood friend of Nena's, had moved away to another city when they were both fourteen years old. He had always been fascinated by the human mind and had pursued studies in psychology. Years later, he returned to their old city, unaware of the suffering Nena had endured.

One fateful day, Alex decided to visit Nena's home. As he arrived, he was met with a somber atmosphere, and Nena's family members eagerly shared their belief in her curse. They recounted tales of the "ghosts" that haunted her, their eyes filled with a mix of fear and disdain.

However, when Nena caught sight of Alex, a glimmer of hope sparked within her eyes. She recognized her childhood friend, a person who had always shown her kindness and understanding. In that moment, she mustered the courage to ask for his help, her voice trembling with desperation.

Alex's heart sank as he witnessed Nena's suffering. He understood the depths of her condition and knew that she needed professional help, not the torment inflicted by her family. Drawing on his knowledge of mental health, he attempted to reason with Nena's family, explaining the reality of her condition and the need for compassion and support.

But Nena's family, steeped in their superstitions and deeply ingrained beliefs, refused to acknowledge the truth. They dismissed Alex's pleas, accusing him of being blind to the reality of the cursed girl before them.

With each passing moment, Nena's situation grew direr, and Alex knew he had to take action. Late one night, as the darkness cloaked the world, he returned to Nena's house, determined to save her from her tormentors. Silently, he crept through the halls, avoiding the creaking floorboards, until he reached Nena's room.

Gently waking her, Alex whispered words of reassurance, urging her to leave this place of suffering behind. Nena, trembling with fear and hope, followed him into the unknown. Together, they embarked on a journey away from the city that held nothing but pain and anguish for her.

As they fled into the night, a sense of relief washed over Nena. For the first time in years, she felt a glimmer of freedom, a taste of a life unburdened by the ghostly shadows that had haunted her existence. Alex, determined to protect and support her, vowed to do whatever it took to help her heal.

But as the tale of Nena's escape unfolded, a sense of unease lingered in the air. Whispers spread through the city, tales of strange occurrences and supernatural phenomena. Some claimed to have seen dark figures following Nena and Alex, while others swore they heard haunting whispers on the wind.

Unbeknownst to them, a seed of doubt had taken root within Nena's mind. As her alters slowly faded into the background, a single alter remained, one that held secrets even Nena

was yet to discover. The true nature of her condition remained veiled, and whether she was truly cursed with ghosts or not was a mystery that awaited its revelation.

As Nena and Alex ventured forth, unaware of the trials that awaited them, the story of their escape took an unexpected turn, a journey that would test the limits of their love, courage, and sanity. And in the depths of the unknown, the answer to Nena's haunting question of whether her curse was real would soon be unveiled.
