Crap!

My head hurts!

Can someone stop screaming please!

I tried lifting up my arms but they wouldn't move an inch, feeling frustrated I tried screaming at who ever is making so much noise but the burning in my throat left it numb. I finally got my eyes to open but everything around me looked blurred and I could barely make out what looks like a hospital ceiling, I looked to my side only too see doctors and nurses screaming as I realized I was being pushed somewhere.

That is when I recalled the accident...and I was supposed to go on that stupid long-awaited vacation! 

I moved my eyes toward the doctor that held my face in his hands, I tried hard to make out what he was telling me but all I could do was shake my head as I let out a breath and darkness surrounded me.

I wish you were never my sister!

Why didn't you try harder?

I should never have trusted you.

I just waisted my time...

Those last painful words surrounded me as I just sat there in the darkness, I closed my ears in hope that I wouldn't hear all those memories that haunted me throughout my years.

I haven't seen them in such a long time but they still had a way of controlling my life.

"Darling please wake up for me."

I lifted my head as I heard the most sweetest voice ever, that was a sound I haven't heard from my own mother in such a long time.

"Please don't leave me alone, I know your father and brother was wrong so please forgive them this time....they will realize what they have done wrong."

I wanted to hold this crying voice in my arms, I don't know why my heart felt like it was breaking but I wanted to hear her laugh. My head started hurting as I remember something completely different, it felt like I was watching a completely different persons life as she grew up. When it was done it felt like something finally got put into the right place and I could breathed in, as I breathed out a breath of air I finally opened my eyes.

I waited for a few minutes before pushing myself up from the bed, the room I found myself in was definitely not the hospital or my room at the hotel rental. This room looked like a bachelor flat and was gorgeously filled with old furnitures, the floor was covered in what looks like wooden floor planks and the walls looks like white marble. There was a very large vintage closet at the corner of the room, where the closet ended started a bookcase that filled the rest of the wall. There was a small opening where a study table stood with a lamp, papers and open books.

The bed I found myself in was large on its own with pillars on each side covered in silk, even the bed sheets were made of silk. The left side wall was made of just windows that led out to a patio outside, in the corner stood a mirror. At the middle of the room stood a small table with chairs made of a blue colour, this room looked as if it was pulled out of a woman's fantasy. I climbed out of the bed, grabbing hold of one of the pillars as it felt like I would fall to the ground, closing my eyes I took a few breath and calmed myself down. After I felt like I could finally move again, I headed toward the window but stopped and I pulled on the night-gown I found neatly folded on the bed end. I looked at the mirror and felt my body turning cold when a complete stranger looked back at me, I moved my hand and she did the same. She was completely gorgeous with long red hair, one of her eyes were golden while the other one looked like emeralds. There were no dark spots on her porcelain skin and she had a body I would die for, who was the complete opposite of what I can remember myself being.

"Cristy Lynette Vacell." I found myself whispering. 

Swallowing I headed to the balcony, I sat on the sofa outside and watched the sunrise. 

I knew that I was not in my body since I can still remember the feeling of being crushed and burned inside of a bus, I can also guess that this is nowhere close to where I lived since all I can see it nature that is still untouched except for a gravel road and gardens that is made for the pleasure of the houses owners.

What I just can't quite accept is finding myself waking up in that stupid book my sister used to talk about nonstop, it got so bad that I'm sure that I even started having nightmares about it. It was one of those simple romance novels about a girl of a farmer finding out that she was actually royalty and all the troubles that came with it, she had men running around and protecting her against any harm that came her way. I really didn't like the way that the story was being written or the choices that people made that my sister spoke about. I also felt remorse for the Duke's daughter that was said to be a villainess, I mean who wouldn't retaliate when a bumbo comes in and takes away the man who you're supposed to marry and love.

"She truly was an idiot." I spoke into the air, smiling at the way that my voice sounded.

It's a voice that sounded like a stream, it soothed even this heart that kept beating frantically. It reminded me of the voice that I heard calling for this body's owner to wake up, I couldn't help but wonder what their reactions would be once they realized that I was awake.

I took my time going through her memories, trying to get myself ready for when the house woke up. Apparently what got her into this state was when she begged her father to go to the same school that her brother is in, it didn't make the conversation better when her brother barged in and laughed at her. Her father stood up when she wouldn't budge one bit and kept on begging to go, the slap that she received forced her to pass out but she could still hear her brother laughing.

If I remember correct she entered the same school where the heroine plaid in, the issue was that she entered the school without her father's permission to follow the prince around. In some was I was shocked that this body's owner still collected books and studied, she did at some point in the story did get permission to keep studying in the school. Unfortunately her obsession was her down fall.

I touched the cheek that her father slapped, cringing when I felt the pain still throbbing from it.

How hard did he have to slap his own daughter?

I tapped the chair as my head hurt trying to recall the story and what has happened so far, at least the best part is I haven't...I mean she hasn't met the heroine yet, unfortunately I will not be able to call off the engagement due to the promise their grandfather made with the royal family.

The other problem is that she was already head over heals I love with the prince, which will make things hard since he will probably already hate her...or now me.

It wouldn't be so bad since I will just ignore him, I really don't have to spend time with him and just to add to it I can also ignore this father and brother duo. Or not get involved with them as best as I can. I will need to fill in that form for the application form for the school and maybe find a place where I can stay on the school ground, that is if they have it here.

Which means I have a lot of work ahead off me.

A soft knock caught my attention, turning my head I watched as the door opened softly and a small maid came in. It looked like she was talking to herself as she walked to the bed, I could help but smile when she let out a scream. This will cause quite the commotion in the early morning, just as I shook my head I found a woman with what looks like a butler rushing in.

"Where is my daughter!"

"Madam I....I..."

I stood up and slowly walked in as the maid kept on crying, the butler tried to calm them both down. He looked up as he heard the floor creaking, he softly tapped Mother and she looked up to where he was pointing. I looked straight into her emerald eyes as I realized where I got my beauty from, she was a gorgeous person as she started smiling.

"Cris...sweatheart?" she whispered, taking a small step closer to me.

"Good Morning Mother." I smiled back at her, opening my arms for that hug I have longed for since I heard her calling me.

I never liked over emotional movies, there was just something irritating about why they reacted to the situation they are in. But being pulled into a loving embrace felt different, they way she held me close and I could almost smell the morning breeze. It felt like home.

I held my mother tighter as she cried, she kept whispering my name as she pulled back to look at me. The love in her eyes was something I dreamed about seeing in they eyes of my loved ones in my previous life, I never hated my family but I did wish that they would have had the same affection.

I took a step back and wiped away my mothers tears, she held my hands against her cheeks as she shook her head. Her red locks were pulled up gracefully with a few jewels to decorate it, her emerald eyes kept staring deep into mine as she tried to calm herself down.

"I'm truly alright now mother." I smiled, stepping closer to give her a kiss on the head.

"I was so afraid..." she sobbed, pulling me back into a hug.

"There is nothing to be afraid off, I promised that I would never leave you." I whispered, waiting for her to calm down.

I looked up when movement caught my attention, the butler stood at the door with an unreadable expression.

"Madam it is almost time for breakfast and the young miss is not ready yet." he spoke up, bringing an end to the warm atmosphere.

"Yes, yes...you are quite right..." She stepped back, holding my face in her hands "...I'll see you downstairs for breakfast."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I agreed with a smile.

The maid that stayed behind helped me get dressed once everyone left my room, I decided to wear a plain green dress with my hair braided back. The little girl urged me to also put on a jacket to which I agreed reluctantly before following her down towards the dining room, the house was beautifully decorated with paintings and plants. The servants worked hard to keep the large windows clean from the tiniest speck of dust, a part of me felt really happy not to be part of the people that's cleaning this place.

Everyone bowed as we passed by them, some leaning towards one another as they whispered. The girl in front of me kept walking with her head held high, almost as if she's proud of the position she is in.

I was greeted with a very suffocating atmosphere when she opened the dining room door, at the head of the table sat my father with my brother on his right side and my mother on his left side. She patted the seat next to her and smiled at me, ignoring both my father and brother I went towards the seat with the maid following me closely behind.

The butler left my father's side to pull the chair out, I stared at it for a short second before sitting down. Looking up I stared straight into my brothers eyes, not showing any emotion as he sneered at me.

If I remember correct, my sister actually really liked this guy. She wouldn't stop complaining about how he wasn't chosen at the end and I can somewhat understand why she went on like that. What I remember correctly from the memories from the story is that he is surprisingly very tall and well-built, he has the same red hair as me with the exception of just golden eyes. For some reason he really despised me and I can't recall why, even the last memory I have before this owner left is about him laughing at her pain.

On that memory alone I have decided that I should stay away from him, I wouldn't even laugh if my siblings were being tortured...they were still my family through thick and thin.

Now that I think about it, he should be engaged to the youngest daughter of Marques De Louze. My sister never mentioned more than her existence to me, now that makes me really curious about who would even agree to be engaged to him. I turned my head back to study him, the scowl on his face growing deeper as he gripped the knife tighter.

"What is it?" he sneered at me

"It's just a pity." I shrugged before I started eating.

"What's a pity?" he hissed

I shrugged again and continued to eat, my mother tensed and moved closer to me. I can guess that my father would be looking at me but I couldn't care to look up at him, the thought of him caused this heart to scream in agony. She really did love her father and idolized him, she really went as far as to try to walk in his footsteps. It's a shame that she was born in this era, she would have done great in the modern era.

"The Prince will be visiting this afternoon."

I froze for a split second before I continued, having a full coarse meal was a blessing in disguise. I really don't need to know this prince's every move, I don't even care about how he might even spend his nights. I stopped eating as I couldn't even stop thinking of the possibility of him having all those sexual diseases that they didn't even know about in this era, I'm pretty sure that he played around with different woman even while he was engaged to me and only changed when he fell in love.

"That's a shame." I snorted softly

Imagine me waking up extra early just to get ready for him, that is not going to happen while I'm here.

"Thank you for breakfast, it was great to see you mom. If you'll excuse me, I do have to leave now. I'll see you for tea again." I smiled sweetly, giving my mother a kiss on the cheek.

"See you later my darling." she smiled up at me.

I left without another glance at my father and brother, the maid that brought me to the dining hall ran to catch up with me. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that she is one of my brothers trusted maids. I stopped and took a closer look at her, we're about the same height so I didn't need to struggle to look either up or down at her. She has golden hair and blue eyes, light freckles covered her tiny nose. She looked like the girl next door, a beauty that you wouldn't notice unless you really look at it.

"How long have you been taking care of me?" I smiled, leaning my head to the side as I studied her.

"Excuse me miss?" she squeaked in surprise

"How long have you been taking care of me?" I repeated, making sure to keep my smile in place

"For about a month miss."

So she came just when I decided to start learning, quite a coincidence if you think about it.

"My brother must like you a lot." I whispered

"Excuse me miss?"

I just gave her a smile before I started walking again, I hate having to repeat myself and I just have a feeling that I will be doing that a lot with her. I will definitely need to find someone else who can stand next to me, someone who will not easily be persuaded by money. I sighed as I strolled around th garden, loving the fast scenery of the nature and enjoying the sound this little maid was making at her attempt of keeping up with me.

I hummed a tune as I strolled through the garden, taking my time to take note of every area that will be able to aid me with an escape if the second try for a study approval failed. Now that I think about it, I'm sure that if I ask permission from my grandfather I'll be able to go without trouble.

The downside of running to my grandfather is that this already non existing relationship with my father and brother might just completely disappear, not that it will matter really. The thing is that if I want to move to a different country I will need to get into this college, I need to meet someone who will create a global shipping contract. The same way the female lead did when she needed to escape her brothers clutches. I think that the rest of the male leads found her just as the guy was about to set sail on his first trial, the plus side for me is that he's not a capture target. The down side is that I have no idea how he looks like and that is going to make it harder for me, at least I think he was the one that spilled a drink on the female lead just as she entered the hall.

So the plan is as follows: meet father and get his permission to attend that élite college; find the guy that spilled the drink on the female lead; make friend with him and make him create the global trading quicker; make sure the female lead doesn't board the ship that will send me to a safe haven.

All this will be easier to do if I had someone I could trust completely, so I placed on a bright smile as I stopped and turned to my brothers little dog.

"Miss?"

"You have the day off." I stated, indicating for her to leave.

"Excuse me miss?"

O not again! Heaven help me!

How is it possible for someone to be this idiotic?

Or is she making it her mission to make my life harder than it's supposed to be?

"You can take the day off." I repeated calmly

"But the Madam told me not to leave your side miss." she stuttered, playing with her fingers nervously.

"Leave." I stated with a straight face.

Thinking back, I feel like ripping these two faced faces off. She or rather I was to placent with them. I allowed them to walk over me and due to that, it caused this issue in front of me now.

This is also why I dislike human interactions, once you give something they will always try to suck you dry. The little maids face turned white as she took a step back, I'm really curious about what my face looks like for her to look so frightened right now.

She finally turned around and left, leaving me alone and feeling more free than I have for a while now. I turned and followed the dirt path to the back of the Mansion when I heard cheering, there was wat looked like a training yard in the distance. Humming I walked closer as I watched them compete against one another, what shocked me was that I could even see a few woman between the men as they practiced against one another.

Anger started burning deep inside me as discussed my disgust grew for my o so dear father, I felt a shiver ran down my spine as I remember his face filled with hatred when I begged him to join the same school as my brother. Sneering at the group of people, I turned around to head back to the house.

Forget about my damn plan!

I'll go and see that father of mine right now.

I went back the same way that I wandered around, not stoplinh to spare a glance at the workers direction. A part of me was happy that I'm able to remember where father should be at this time and another part of me was disappointed, how can you expect a daughter to know your exact schedule to avoid you and then punish her when she finally got the strength to stand up to you?

Shaking my head I knocked on the door, waiting for any kind of signal for me to enter. When there was none I decided to knock again, giving a few minutes before I started knocking in rhythm.

"Come in!" a deep voice screamed.

I walked in with a big smile, feeling a bit triumphant in my heart as my father glared at me. I walked calmly to the chair in front of his desk, sitting down as the butler hurried to close the door that I just left opened.

I took my time to look over his study, enjoying the feel of warmth that this room gave, which was shocking because its owner was so cold. The room was decorated in warm colors and majority of the furniture was made of wood, both the father and the daughter has the same taste in decor except for colour wise.

"What do you want Cristy?"

"I want to go to the same school that brother is in." I shrugged, standing up I headed to the bookshelf, looking at all his different kind of books.

"We're not going to start this again, I already told you that you will not be attending." he stated

"I disagree, there are many ways for me to get into that school. For one I could run away and enter in a scholarship program, I can have grandpa sign me up....it's just easier to have you do it...it will cause less problems for me." I gave him a smile over my shoulder before taking out a book.

"Where do you think you got the right to talk to me the way you are doing now."

"I almost got murdered by my father, would there be anything more frightening than that." I smirked as I walked to the chair that I sat on earlier.

"You do like telling lies don't you." he hissed at me.

"I'll agree to disagree." I nodded, opening the book as I sat down.

"You're alive and well in front of me now."

"Still doesn't change the fact that a father almost killed his daughter by his own hands." I nodded

Correct that, he did murder his daughter with his own hands.

"I told you that there is no need for you to watch over your fiancé!"

"You truly think that is the reason for me to want to attend?" I threw my head back and laughed.

Enjoying the shock that dawned on his face as he looked at me, I stood up from my chair and walked closer to him. Staring him straight in the eyes as I placed the book in front of him, not once flinching at the hatred that shot through his eyes towards me.

"That just shows how much you know me. I will be attending the school and I will be leaving in two days time. If you don't want me to attend, make sure that you kill me correctly this time. It sure was a pain coming back." I sneered at him.

I think if I could have been blessed with a power instead of having a second chance, it would have been to read someones mind definitely. I wanted so badly to know what he's thinking as he's staring up at me with that unreadable expression, I want to know if he might regret what he did.

"I never..." he stopped and sighed, leaning his head back in defeat.

"You're also a very bad liar, guess I got something from you after all." I laughed before leaving.

I needed to be in time for the afternoon tea that I promised mother this morning and there nothing in this world that will be keeping me away from that.

Just as I was about to open the door, it got pulled open. I stared up at my brother who just like my dear father sneered down at me.

Like father like son, they truly are a matching pair.

"Would you look at that, even the dog came running." I smiled up.

"What?!"

"Next time keep your little rats to yourself, I might just kill them if I find them under my feet." I patted his shocked face and left.

"Cristy!"

I hummed with a smile and kept walking towards the garden, excited to head towards someone who actually wants to be close to me.

"Little miss!"

I turned to find that irritating maid running towards me, struggling to keep her breathing even.

"I thought I told you to leave."

"I...need...to...take...the...miss...to...madam." she huffed.

"Then lead the way."

I followed her as she walked towards a carriage, lifting my eyebrows in shock that the carriage was waiting for me but never the less I climbed in.

It will be really shocking if they try to kill me again.

I looked out of the window to see guards pulling a struggling maid out and my brother walking after them, she was screaming and kicking as if her life was depending on it. I was about to pull the door open when a small hand grabbed my arm, turning my head I looked at the maid who leaned over and closed the curtain just as I looked back at my brother who was staring at us.

"There are some things that miss should ignore." she whispered

"Who gave you the right to tell me what to do?" I hissed, my fingers turning white as I begged myself to open the door.

"I'm not telling you what to do miss...it's just that you might just be misunderstanding something." she spoke slowly

"There's nothing that I'm misunderstanding believe me."

I let go of the handle as the maid let out a sigh of relief, I sat back and closed my eyes. My brothers face now held uncontrolled fury, a look that I can't remember seeing in my memories. I can't think of any reason he would be so mad at a maid, unless it's about when I told him that I will personally kill her myself. Yet here she is sitting in front of me as if it was just another normal day.

"I need to apologize miss."

"For what exactly?" I sighed and looking back at her.

"If I was there to protect you....you....maybe the prince would....I should have called him as you requested." she whimpered

"Don't you worry, what happened just proved something for me."

"What is that miss?"

"That I can never trust anyone."

She sat back with pain written all over her face, almost as if she just lost something precious to her.

The ride to what appeared to be a small pond came to an end, I climbed off leaving the maid behind and headed toward where my mother was sitting. There were a few maids running around to put everything on the table, my mother was talking and pointing at where everything should be placed. I stood there staring them as if I was watching a movie, the trees and pond at the back was gorgeous with the sound of bird singing. At this very moment it felt like I was just a small extra in a bigger picture and not a villainess that will cause her family to be torn apart.

"Cristy?"

I looked at my loving mothers face and smiled, no matter what the future holds one thing is for sure. She will be the one person I will protect with everything I have.

"I'm here mother." I smiled and stepped towards her extended hand.
