New body

It’s was all blurry, the last thing I saw was my cold body on the sidewalk, I died, I really died, I wanted to cry but I couldn’t, I don’t understand what is going on, but one things for sure, I’m not in Radisson Heights anymore,

I was in a sliver lake and surrounding it, lotus flower, the flower shaped just like our family’s crest, I was dead, all my hard work all gone, my little sister left in the hands of my stingy uncle and his wicked family, I fell to my knees, this isn’t fair,

“No it’s not ” a voice responded from the river, as I walked towards it a ball of gas appeared and slowly turned into a human shape and in no time the person standing in front of me was my dead nana,

“Grandma??!!” I shouted before running into her arms, “I’m sorry Nana, I failed to keep my promise, I left Arian in the hand of those traitors and I died way too early” my grandma chuckled and ran her hand through my hair “no my child, you did good” she kissed my forehead “so where is this place, heaven?” She laughed “no this is the in between, the passage where the souls of the dead come before they move up or below” she points towards the sky where I could see souls going up or wondering around “so where am I going, up or down” she laughs “no my love, you died a Nobel death”

Oh yeah, I dead saving the two little boys on my way back from the shop “ so where do I go” she walks me towards the lake, i thought it was sliver but no, it had no color just like a mirro just a clear reflection of our faces “now we must hurry I don’t have much time, because you died an untimely death saving those two precious souls, the council decided to give you a second chance” my eyes lit up “a second chance, how??”

“Another soul died the same time as you did, but her death was against the will of the heavens, you will be reincarnated back into the world as Uriella Valente, and you will have one hundred days to make that body yours, if on the hundredth day your soul is still detached you will be back here to face the judgement” I looked up her “reincarnated, attachment, death, I don’t understand explain properly nana” but in a split second she toss me into the lake.

I felt horrible like I slept with nails on my back, I reacted to the burning feel of the morning sun on my face, “damn it Arian I told you not to wake me up early” and followed by my voice the sound of broken glass “Mrs Valente???! You’re awake, come anybody the madam is awake”

I slowly opened my eyes in instead of my shabby studio apartment was a grand bedroom, and standing above me, four women dressed as maids“why are you in my room, no what am I doing in this room” I looked forward and I almost died of shocking when j saw my self in the mirror, instead of my rough hair I had long red curls that bounces perfectly, smooth skin with rosey cheeks and pink lips with brown eyes, I wasn’t Arielle Bowel anymore,

I tried to get up but tripped and fell face flat “Mrs Valente!!!” The maids all scream “call the doctor Maria!!!” But in the mist of all the shouting and panicking it all came back to me, Nana’s words, I was dead, but now

Now I am alive, my smile grew from a smirk to a big smile “ I’m alive” I turned towards the maid who is nearly died with fright “I am alive” I ran towards the balcony “ I AM ALIVE!!!!!”.

The doctor came and did some test, I apparently had just a slight head concussion, which was strange since the owner of this body died “I’ll prescribe some painkillers and your regular” my regular, what was he talking about “now leave her, she needs to rest a bit” they all left with the doctor,

I closed my eyes, they have to be some memories left, bits and pieces, from light conversation at massive parties to little fights between her and an oddly familiar face, but one memory was as clear as day, her death, it wasn’t an accident someone pushed her, maybe that’s what Nana meant by making this body mine,

I have to find out who killed her in order for her souls to fully leave the in between and I get to live.

I slept off waking up an hour later, it was nice sleeping in a comfy bed with no loud neighbors no bed bugs or insects, it feels good, but I know I have a lot to do,

I left the room, this house was bigger than I thought, after waking down a long hallway, I walked down a long stairs that lead to the dining table, maid came in and out with food, different types of food that I have only seen on tv, almost salivating I walked towards the table and sat down, but the sudden silence was weird, I looked up and both the maids and two familiar faces looked back at me,

“Oh my God, you’re actually eating dinner with us” the girl dress in blue and has brown hair she is younger than the other girl probably seventeen or so but had way too much make up on “I thought she died ugh” the older girl said with her hand playing with her dirty blonde curls “hello freak I’m talking to you”

They seem to despise the owner of this body, I called over a maid who looked towards the girl before coming to me “yes ma’am” I brought her closer “ who are those two” for a second her eyes swell “hmm, Miss Cheryl your sister-in-law”

“Hmmm and the other one” the maid look towards them again then back to me “Mr Valente’s hmm, childhood friend” wow so the owner of this body let two insignificant people bully her in her own husbands house, though her husband is a jerk for letting them bully her in the first place m,

“Are you deaf freak” Cheryl asked chuckling with food I’m her mouth “pig” I said slice slowly on the steak “what did you just say” she spoke again with food in her mouth, I frown “come on child didn’t your mother teach you not to talk while eating” and again silence, they were all shocked, I guess the old Mrs Valente let them walk all over her, well too bad the old Mrs Valente is dead, time for a little bit of change in this household
