AWAKEN

The sun shone hot on my face. Blood covered my armor and some had dried on my face. The vultures circled above, and my throat felt dry. The sound of hooves rang nearby. My vision was hazy, but I could still make out the figure of the person that stopped in front of me. He stared at me with an evil glint in his eyes.

"Any last words?" His voice was different. It sounded more malicious, more evil (if that made any sense)

"Go to hell" I managed to squeeze out, and the bastard smiled at me.

"See you there" he said. I felt something plunge into me, it was his sword, and the last thing I saw before darkness took over.

......................

A pained scream left my mouth when I woke up. A girl dressed as a maid ran in.

"My lady, are you alright?" She asked and I nodded in response. A glass of water was handed to me, which u took gratefully and had a sip.

After sending her out I placed round the room. This shouldn't be possible. I'm supposed to be dead. Was I given another chance at life?

I walked towards the mirror to confirm my suspicions but the face that met mine was unfamiliar. The girl in the mirror had shiny black hair and icy blue eyes which looked capable of freezing oceans.

What was happening? This wasn't me. Was u reborn into another world? There was only one way to find out.

I got dressed and left the room. The halls were grand and everything screamed money and power. There were gold ornament which lined almost every table along the hall. I passed by a small room, its walls were lined with shelves which contained awards, plaques, accolades and the likes.

"Lady Amira" I turned at the sound of the voice. It was the maid from earlier. The name had struck a chord but I am still yet to identify it

"The Lord and Lady are waiting for you" she said with her head bowed "Breakfast has long been started"

I nodded in response since I didn't have anything to say, and she led me the breakfast room where "my parents" were waiting.

The breakfast room was even grander. The Lady sat at the right-hand side of the Lord. She had shiny gold hair and a light complexion, her eyes were s brilliant shade of green. The Lord on the other hand had dark brown hair and dark eyes which looked a bit sullen. Taking my eyes away from them, I noticed a boy who looked older than me sitting on the left side. he also hard dark brown hair but his eyes were the same shade of green as the Lady's.

All eyes turned on me the moment I stepped foot into the room. The Lady got up and walked towards me. Each step looked calculated and without a single fault.

"Amira, I thought you would spend forever upstairs" She said as she hugged me, but I did not feel any motherly warmth.

"Good morning mother" I found my self saying as I sat down beside the boy who u could only assume was my brother. As we ate breakfast, my mind was elsewhere, thinking of my next move so they wouldn't notice anything was wrong. If I had another chance at life then I wasn't going to slip up a second time
