Throughout it all, this has been very long. Or at least it feels like it. People always talk about the time around us, and from what I can tell it's a lot shorter than what I believe it's been. A week at times feels like it's been year's. I can't explain why, but it feels as if my time has been dilated in this new body. It's slightly annoying, I'll admit that, but I guess that means more time for me? But since it's not really more time is it actually more time? Damn, this is confusing. None of these things exactly make any sense, but it's not like in the place I used to live they made any sense anyway.
Anyhow, I was laid down in this weird thing filled with wooden bars. I can't explain what it is, but at night and certain times of day caregivers or my parents place me in here until I sleep. But, I never have really enjoyed that. Even in my previous body, I never enjoyed sleep. It just bored me and seemed like a waste of time, completely. Where was the point of sleeping when you could be interacting with other people or learning about the world around you?
People around me have always made weird comments like: "Well, Princess Kokoro never sleeps. It's almost like she's some sort of vampire princess." It feels well, how else do I explain this? Somewhat unverving, and strange too being called a vampire, it feels like I'm being compared to a monster, essentially. Or at least that's what it feels like being called a vampire.
However, I don't really feel like sleeping. In such a tiny body, after only about 1 or 2 hours or rest, my stomach ends up hurting since I end up so damn hungry, not much I can do about it. It's either that, or I awaken with other problems. Of course its easy at this age, but in the end I end up just pissed off and annoyed at what I simply am unable to do.
Yeah, I've been through this before in my original life probably. It's just, I never expected it to seem so hard, for children and babies, they've always seemed to have it so easy, like perhaps nothing could ever go wrong in their life? That's how I felt about them, but now in this new weird small tiny body with so many issues I understand how hard it truly is.
Oh well, there is nothing I can truly do about it. But I wish I really do wish I could do something, anything at all about this horrifying and quite frankly horrible situation.
As the day goes on, more guards leave… Until none are even left… I can't explain why, but it makes me feel scared… All alone stuck in the dark. With these feelings storming my body, I couldn't help but to begin crying in some form of panic? No, it's not panic… But instead it's instinctual fear and loneliness. I… I dont want to be alone! I just want someone to be there, what if something goes wrong, or if someone were to attack with nobody around?! I'd be screwed to all hell!
As I looked around, desperately, hoping anyone would come… I came to realize something, my vision… Even for someone my age, it was horrible. I could barely see most things. Sure, most babies have terrible vision, but not vision where even the crib is blurry most of time. Maybe it's just the tears blocking my sight? No, that can't be it… it's always that way, unless it's especially sunny outside or the lights are turned on.
My body it has naturally terrible vision, but how can I tell anyone about my vision? How can I help myself in a body that refuses to speak? Not even in babble, or in natural words. This body is one completely helpless. Relying on others and my cries of help for other people. It's so hopeless.
Selected by a special lottery, held only once every hundred years, lex and amber have been given a chance have their wish granted.
