Saturday, a day in which I usually lock myself in my apartment and get away from my private life, once again I was sitting comfortably in my brown chair, I had a book in my hands, one of my favorites, it was already the fourth time I read it, with one hand I hold the book and with the other I take a cup that contained freshly made coffee, and behind me there is a large window that provides me with adequate lighting and ventilation.
The book I'm reading is about Elise Martold, daughter of a Marquis. At the age of 16 she was engaged to Duke Noah Claden. The engagement was only for the economic and social benefit of both families, so they both only used to act as a couple in front of other people at social events, but if no event was happening they didn't speak to each other. Elise secretly watched the duke and fell in love with him, but she still had to repress her feelings.
For Elise's 18th birthday she was surprised with a gift from Noah, a bird necklace, Elise treasured that necklace with all her love, they both got married then Elise looked for Noah more often when they were in the castle, Noah got angry with her and began to see her as a nuisance, Elise was desperate, she also wanted to be loved by her husband, she went out into the city to look for sorcery books to make Noah fall in love with her, none of them really worked.
During her search for spells she made a friend named Elian Norden who was always by her side, that friend was like her brother and comforted her, Elian was a young wizard and revealed to Elise that she had a witch's blood and was going to teach her how to activate her abilities, however, after an accident in her carriage, Elian died, Elise couldn't stop crying and went to look for Noah to calm her down or something like that but when she entered Noah's room she found him with a girl having sex, that girl was Marion Bonnet, the daughter of a Count and... A close friend of Elise since she was 15, Elise at that time was aware that she lost the three most important people in her life, without thinking she took a vase and killed Marion, it turned out that Noah and Marion had a secret relationship for a year.
Elise was taken to jail where she received the news that she was pregnant, Noah did not care at all so he divorced her and got another wife. Because of the mistreatment in jail, Elise lost her son, she learned how to activate her magic and ran away, but was discovered as a witch and was caught, then she was taken to the stake where she was granted eternal rest.
The book ends with a long speech from Elise to Noah, while she was burning in the strong flames she screamed how much she loved him once and tells the misfortunes that happened to her because of that unrequited love, in the end she says that if she were born again she would not make the same mistakes.
Huh? I've finished reading it again... I'm crying, this last scene is so sad, poor Elise, if I could I would help you, you definitely deserved a better ending...
It was already six at night, I checked my phone, had dinner and went to bed, there really wasn't much to do.
Ding Dong
—Who is it? —I said yawning as I woke up.
I put on a pair of slippers and walked to the door, opened it and there was a boy in a blue uniform holding some papers and a small box.
—Are you Melanie R? —the boy asked.
—Yes, is that for me? —I asked, still sleepy.
—Yes, please sign.
I took the papers and signed them, the boy handed me the little box and I closed the door.
—What could it be...?
I slump down on the couch and slap my face a little to wake up. “Okay, here we go.” I opened the little red box, inside it was a gold necklace, it had a hummingbird and some encrypted flowers inside a circle, on the edges of the circle were little stones of different colors, a simple design, but it was cute, it looked kind of old, but it was still usable, I’ll have to find out who sent it.
—That's strange... I feel like I've seen this before... —I said while holding the pendant in front of my face.
With a little curiosity I put on the necklace and approached the mirror, it looked beautiful on my chest, I like it.
I started to feel tired, as if gravity was putting all its force on me, the apartment was a little dark, the windows were still closed but a great light coming from the ground formed under my feet in the shape of a circle, The circle grew brighter and brighter, I was getting tired, strange letters were written in the circle in an unknown language, I fell to the floor and fainted.
Everything was dark, I could only hear one phrase "Avoid fate, live well" the phrase was repeated hundreds of times, but then I slowly opened my eyes.
—Miss... Miss... Miss! —I heard a girl waking me up.
—What...? I'm tired.
"Miss, you must go to your lessons," he said again.
—Lessons? Classes? But I've already left university, who are you?... —When I managed to open my eyes completely I noticed that the ceiling was different... It was more like a canopy ceiling.
—What are you talking about, miss? You must be confused.
I quickly sat up and looked around the room. It was elegant, like a princess's, it was big, and there was a maid in front of me. She is Rina, she has always been with me since I was little... Wait a minute... These memories are not mine.
—Yes, I must definitely continue dreaming. Please go and prepare a bath for me. —I said while rubbing my eyes.
—Yes, Miss. —After a bow, he left to get things to bathe me.
I looked at my hands, white as porcelain and fingers as thin and long as needles, I looked at my hair like a yellow and wavy gold thread, the small waist and the rest of the body threatened the health of anyone being so thin. I get up and stand in front of a mirror, As for my face I have a thin nose like a doll, thin lips, but not too much, big light blue eyes, long eyelashes and my face cut is oval and small. But it is definitely not my body. Do these types of bodies even exist?
Ah, the most important thing is to know whose body this is... Foreign memories come to me... My name... Elise...
Oh!
The maid came back with a cart with soaps, essences and other things...
—Rina! —I called her—. W-who am I...?
—You are Miss Elise Martold, why? —She asked confused.
I fainted as I confirmed what I had not yet accepted.
I'm inside the body of Elise Martold, 15 years old, it's winter, Elise's body is weak, during this time I'll get sick, people will think it's the flu, but it's actually because of the power I'm holding back... I must find a way to go back, but while I'm here I won't just sit back and watch as everything happens like the original plot... "Live well and avoid fate". Fine, I'll try to change it.
But first of all... How did I get here?
