7 Lost in the mountains (2) What kind of animal was this? A fox? A wolf? She wondered as she looked back at the animal that looked like a dog but quite larger and had completely black fur with a little white at the tip of both ears. 'This isn't the time to be trying to guess what animal it is, Alicia.' She quickly whispered to herself. The specie of the animal wouldn't be of any importance to her if it succeeded in devouring her. It would simply be said that a wild animal had devoured her. Yes.…

Just as Alicia assumed earlier, after about two hours, the two women were already asleep. Madam Grace slept on a tiny bed at the other end of the room while Paulina slept on a mat beside her bed. She slowly sat up, careful not to make a single sound. She had to escape even if she didn't know where she was going. She just had to find the village and look for the river. Once her feet touched the ground, she looked around the tiny room carefully. The lantern was very dim, but it helped her see everywhere.…

5 New life (3) What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in a different body? A strange body? I am guessing your brain would be clouded by confusion. That was exactly how Alicia felt as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. The thought had occurred to her to ask Paulina for a mirror as she felt she would get some answers if she started by seeing how she looked like because something told her this was more than she was assuming it was.Maybe they were mistaking her for someone else, and…

"My lady, what is the problem? Are you okay? Do you need something?" The maid asked, rushing over to Alicia's side with worried eyes. Alicia ignored her as she looked around the bedroom and quickly got out of the bed. Her head pounded because of the sudden movement, and she had to hold the edge of the bed to balance herself. What was this place? It was clearly not a hospital. It didn't have the smell or the looks. If not a hospital, then what? Purgatory? Who was this lady? She wondered as she ran towards…

The girl's eyes fluttered open slowly and it took a moment before her gaze could focus on the ceiling. For the first minute, she simply stared at the ceiling dumbly. Her mind was completely blank and devoid of anything as she stared at the ceiling. As her brain continued to boot, she realized that she wasn't alone. There was someone else in the bedroom. She assumed it was a bedroom since she was lying down on a soft flat surface that she could only assume to be a mattress. She could hear the other person…

The princess took in a deep breath, knowing that once she walked into the hall, there was no going back. She took the first step, and then the next, her heartbeat increasing with every step she took. She feared that her heart might burst out of her chest at the rate at which it was beating. She tried not to look at anyone even though she could feel all eyes on her. Was this really happening? Was this going to be her new life? Or was this a nightmare? Before she knew it, she was standing before the King,…

The princess sat still as she let the maids take care of her hair and face. Her stomach churned, and her heartbeat increased with each passing second as she tried not to give in to the wave of panic and anxiety that was threatening to hit her. Once the maids finished with her hair and make-up, they left the room, leaving Madam Grace and Paulina to dress her up. Both ladies came in with her wedding dress and jewelry, and they helped her dress up. The pieces of jewelry were like nothing she had seen, and…
