never again

Thunder was heard from afar followed by the heavy rain. It's morning but the dark clouds covered the sun dimming the surroundings. Through the mansion of Xiong family, a girl woke up and sit up straight.

Her face was pale and full of sweats. Her heart was beating so fast. She look at her surroundings. She recognized her place. But she could not believe what she was seeing.

She was dazed for a while, realizing something, she stand up and run towards her dressing room. Facing the full length mirror. She touch her face.

'It cannot be....how come I become young?!

'Is it all a dream?...But it felt so real....'

Her face was full of disbelief.

She still has a pale translucent skin that seemed to never reach the sun. Her shiny black straight long hair reached to her waist. She still has a dark pair of cold and empty eyes protected by her long curly eyelashes, her thin brows, her straight nose that gathers envy from her cousins, her thin red lips that spoke only few words, her pointed chin, and her little heart shape face, were still the same except she look younger. Like a maiden who were still blooming. The maiden in the mirror had a perfect portion of a woman's body. Full b.r.e.a.s.t, small waist, and long legs. Even the girl looks a teenager it can still capture a full grown man eyes.

But that's not what the girl focused on.

She quickly went outside her room and grabbed a maid.

"What date today is?"

The maid was startled at her sudden action. Because the young miss in front of her never speak to them. Even asked a question. They know her only as the indifferent young miss. The girl that was alone in her world.

"What date today is?" She asked again with a slight desperation on her voice. Hope was displayed in her eyes.

The maid was shocked again. Never ever she saw the young miss showed any emotion. But infront of her the girl look so venerable with a desperation on her voice. The maid felt like she won a lotto.

'This was once in a lifetime experience! The young miss just talk to me and open up to me...'

(A/N : lol..she just ask you...)

The maid felt like crying. But when she felt that her arm was grabbed tighter she remembered to answer.

"Yo....young miss...today is june 4." The maid answered.

"No...I mean is....what year?"

"Eh...2011?" The maid said hesitantly.

Why the young miss asked this?

"2...2011?!" The girl was shocked.

"So I'm sixteen this year?!" With wide eyes she look at the maid.

The maid was equally startled.

The young miss is SHOCKED! Wide eyed!

The maid seemed to want to write in her diary right now and add this scene in the most unforgettable moment of her life. She had seen many face expression of the stone cold face of the young miss today. That even an earthquake or explosion could never affect her stoic face.

'I will brag it later to them hahaha'

"Linfeng? Where is he?" The maid was pull out from her thoughts by the girl antics.

"Who's Linfeng Young miss?"

The maid look at her strangely. There is no Linfeng in their household. The maid know the names of all the people from maids to bodyguards.

Hearing this the girl was confused and fear and panicked was seen in her face.

Another maid came up, bowed and said:

"Young miss...your bath is ready. The uniform is already on your bed."

"Uniform?" The girl asked.

"Yes...from TIHS.. "

The girl was shocked again. She run to her room and look at her uniform.

The two maids look at each other questionably. Both thinking their young miss was strange.

The girl in the room hold her uniform.

'It's the same....same school...it's not a dream...if it's not a dream...then what is it? Did it really happen? Or did I reincarnate? Or Time travel? It's crazy.....'

The girl was none other than Xiong Zhi. The young miss from the eldest daughter of Xiong family.

A moment later her eyes suddenly lit up.

'Sixteen...June 4...first day of school...This is the day...the day Linfeng was introduced to me.'

With that thought she ran to her bathroom, not even glancing at the bathtub with warm water and roses, she opened her shower.

Closing her eyes her thoughts wondered at the time of her dream or she must say her past life. She was not sure. It felt so real.

This time her grandfather still alive. After her grandfather died, the impending doom on her started.

The scheming relative strike on her. Her fiance take off his mask. Her wealth, her inheritance and the company was stripped on her.

It's all started two years from now. If she really travelled from the future to this past she must prevent it to happen. Or she must prepare. This was her second chance. The heavens gave her a second chance. To made no regrets in her life. Everything she got she will use it.

Her wealth

Her brain

Her beauty

Her surname Xiong

This time she will make everything right.

"Never again to be weak...Never again wasted our precious time...I'll promise...In the next lifetime... I will protect you...and..love you..."

Her final words rang clearly and loudly in her ears. The water from the shower was like the heavy rain drops of that night.

The same sound of droplets and the coldness were all familiar to her.

Opening her eyes, the emptiness was gone replaced by sharpness and determination. The old Xiong Zhi was gone. A new reborn Xiong Zhi was standing now.

"Never again..."
