The Rise Of Calamity

**************

It's been almost a week since I have been born into this world and my life so far has been confusing at best.

Through the first 3 days, I had finally realized that I have been taking for granted my earthling body's pair of vocal cords and rows of teeth. Due to the lack of use of my vocal cords and the visible lack of teeth, I'm unable to vocalize in ways other than grunts and random baby noises.

The fact that the voice that thinks in my head is so different from the noise I'm creating both takes a toll on my mind while also startles me for a few seconds until I realize that it was me who made the noise.

Another complaint I have about this body is its lack of muscle strength. I can barely move my body, to the point that crawling seems like a distant dream and let's not even mention standing on my legs or even walking.

I'll have to relearn how to walk and how to keep balance with this crappy body while trying to withstand the impending force known as gravity, not to mention that I have to become accustomed to a new center of gravity in a new and smaller body.

Compared to my old body, moving around is a living nightmare that is barely getting better over time. Every day I would curse at my helpless body repeatedly with my extensive vocabulary from all the novels I read back on earth and my studies for college. The swearing only increased when I made another shocking discovery

For the last week, I haven't felt the need to urinate nor do the 'number two'. At first, I thought that people in this world just evolved differently to find out to be mistaken when I was introduced to this mythical room that people on earth would call a "bathroom".

My worries started to grow as I started to think I had a severe case of urinary retention or even a urinary tract infection as a 'best case scenario'.

My worries had hit an all-time high as I made my final realization which turned all my worries into pure horror. I had finally grown conscious of my lack of 'male assets' down where I'm supposed to urinate. You should have seen the pure shock and horror written on my baby face when I realized that I was probably a female.

'DO WOMEN NOT URINATE?' was my second thought at that moment while the first one was a very loud inward 'WHAT THE FUCK?!' while trying not to faint from the shock.

After gaining my rationality and cool from the shock a few hours later, I realized that there was probably something wrong with me as I was being breastfed multiple times a day and I still did not feel the need to urinate. If it is the case that I had an infection or a blockage, I feel like I would have popped by now due to the build-up of waste inside my body or at least thrown up by now.

The clear worry on my birth mother's face when she looked at this world's equivalent of diapers (which I'm guessing are infused with magic) that I wore and found out they were not used a single time, did not help the situation at all, showing that I might be slightly abnormal... Slightly.

Speaking about my family, they're honestly pretty cool yet kind of weird. First off, the least weird one's were both my mother and who I'm guessing is my grandmother. They were loving and caring but both of them looked like they had a bone to pick with me.

My mother would start getting upset over the fact that I would sleep (well... pretend to sleep, but she doesn't need to know that) whenever she tried to play with me. The grandmother was a lot more cunning and could tell when I'm faking it. This would make her 'wake me up' and try to make faces that would amuse a normal baby or scare the living shit out of them. I would follow suit and give her the most unamused face my baby body can muster while inwardly laughing at the depressed face she would make after another of her failed attempts.

My sister was honestly the nicest yet at the same time the most annoying from the female side of the family that would not let me rest. She would constantly pester me whenever she could, and would speak some random words I could not comprehend due to the language barrier and the lack of similarities between it and any language I learnt on earth which would have helped to decipher it.

Honestly, the language sounded like a mixture of what I think Mandarin would sound like and the few pronunciations of Arabic I knew.

The only silver lining is that through this baby talk my sister gives me, I found out they named me 'Pandora', a name creepily similar to one of the Greek mythologies we had back on earth about a girl with a box that when opened would let calamity befall the world.

The Male side of the family was equally if not weirder than the female side. First of all, my father, who for some reason carries a sword on his hip wherever he goes, acts quite cold towards me In front of his family but when he has to take care of me alone, he becomes the embodiment of an over-loving father. The illusion that I'm a baby and I will forget how nice he is towards me in secret, deluded him to think that I will not remember any of the love and care he has towards me.

I think this is what the Japanese on earth would call a Tsundere for a lack of an English translation, Yet due to my 'Minor' father issues, I kind of find him overbearing and annoying even though I know he means good. It just seems that I have 'Slight' trust issues.

The Twin brothers on the other hand were just plain annoying. While one always had a smug grin and would constantly comb back his gelled dirty blonde hair while spouting some bullshit. On the other hand, the other one was reserved and lacking in the confidence department that I almost felt bad for slapping him on his face by 'accident' while he was trying to touch me. Almost.

I don't mind the reserved introvert because he doesn't bother me much, but his shy glances make it seem like he's In front of his crush or something, which mildly annoyed me.. In complete contrast, his brother was just loud and overbearing making me imagine the countless ways I would make him shut the f*ck up if I had a working body.
