3 Dreaming about us
"nique-"
A warm sensation embraced my body. A heard a voice in the distance.
Ahh... So this is death huh... I thought it would be worse... But this is actually quite nice...
"minique, wake up!"
The voice was getting closer, I also heard steps approaching.
Death... Is that you? Are you coming for my soul?... Well, I guess it was nice while it lasted... Time to be part of the eternal nothingness of space... Man... Who would think that death would sound like a little girl... The universe sure is weird...
I was ready for anything, so my limbs spread and my face smiled.
Come on! Take me! I am ready!
"Dominique! I told you to wake up!"
Poof!
"Geha?!"
I said that, but I never expected to be punched in the stomach.
"Cough! Cough! Holly shit! Can´t you be a little more gentle?!"
"Huh? Why are you talking to me like that? Did you become an idiot after dreaming?"
"Huh?! Who are you calling idiot you... Kid?"
"Huh?! I´m older than you! It may only be a month, but 30 days are 30 days!"
"Huh? 30? What?"
"You don´t know the numbers? But we have been studying them for 2 weeks! Don´t tell me you just forgot about them!"
"....."
Sat on my stomach, a girl was scolding me about how I needed to pay more attention and study harder.
She was wearing a red outfit that consisted of a well-made dress and golden shoes that matched with her ruby eyes and long blonde hair.
Her smooth-looking white skin was the ultimate addition to her gorgeous face and well-developed body.
She´s 16. Her birthday is the 14´th day of the fourth month of the new solar calendar.
Wait... Why do I know all of that when is the first time I see this girl?
"And then after dinner, we´ll repass the multiplication tables so that you... Uhm, Dominique? Are you okay? Why are you looking at me like that? Did you perhaps get sick?"
The girl placed her hand on my forehead with a worried expression.
I was pulled out of my trance immediately. And as if a switch had turned on, my mouth moved automatically as I carefully grabbed her hand.
"There is nothing to worry about, my lady. Now that I can see you first thing in the morning, I am more than fine."
"... Is that so? Well, I´m glad you´re feeling good"
What the hell?! Why did I say that?! Why am I doing this?! What is going on?!
The girl got off of me and walked to the wooden door in front of us.
"You better hurry, the head butler doesn´t like to wait for anyone"
My legs made me jump out of the bed where I was. Once I was standing on the floor, I bowed to the girl.
"I will, my lady"
She nodded and left the room.
...
The fuck was that?!
Once alone I regained control over my body.
"No, wait a second. How am I standing? How can I talk? And why is my voice different?"
My brain was making questions non-stop.
My eyes widened when looked down to see myself.
"What is this body?! My skin wasn´t tanned, I was as pale as a ghost!"
I hurriedly searched for a mirror inside the simple and elegant bedroom.
When I found it I stripped and took a good look at my body.
"... Who is this?..."
Silver hair, yellow eyes, and brown skin. I had some scars here and there. My face was nothing like before, it was younger, healthier, and oddly handsome.
"I-Is this me?... No way... What kind of person has these eyes?"
looking carefully, I realized that the irises of my eyes were just like a cat´s. I felt both strange and revitalized.
When I was in the hospital my whole body became a fragile stick due to cancer.
This body has been trained... And with a lot of effort...
There was no place where muscles didn´t exist.
Whoever this boy was, he exercised a lot.
It probably has more muscle than when I worked out at his age.
My family would have taken him to be the next martial arts champion.
"... My family..."
The shape of that people appeared in my mind.
"... Bastards..."
I felt nothing but disgust.
Tick-Tick.
Chirp, chirp.
"Huh? A bird?"
The sound of a singing bird pocking the glass draw me out of my bad mood.
I left the mirror and went to the window covered by fine curtains.
My jaw dropped at what was visible when I opened it.
"Hm? No fucking way! Is that a castle?! Ah"
The bird flew away, my yelling surely scared it.
"...Sorry"
A wide and peaceful green land filled my vision.
Not too far away, a huge castle surrounded by what seemed to be a city was the jewel of the crown.
The immensity of the blue sky was being decorated with big flying creatures that I have never seen before.
"My goodness... Where the hell I am?..."
The shock forced me to sit in the bed behind me.
I needed a couple of minutes to accept the reality taking place before me.
"... I need more information... I´ll just go with the flow for now... Who knows what these people do to me if they find out I´m not the kid they think I am"
I walked to what I guessed was the closet.
A good number of black suits was the only thing inside of it.
"That girl said something about a head butler... And this is definitely the uniform of one of those... I guess this kid was a servant..."
I changed clothes quickly, when I was done I got amazed by how good I looked in them.
"All right, that girl called me Dominique, so I have to answer to that name"
My feet led me to the door, my hand ready to turn the knob at any moment.
"Huh? Dominique? Where did I hear that name before?"
I opened the door while having my doubts.
"If I remember correctly... It was from that man but... Nah, it can´t be... That´s just.... Oh, come on!"
Long halls with infinite doors and stairs were all I could see.
My confidence dropped dead with every step.
Hmmm... Funny. I may not know anything of this place, but this body sure does.
Every time I was about to turn or go up or down, a ticklish feeling came to my back. It was like if my body was telling me where to go without using words.
Though it was quite weird, It helped me a lot.
On my way, I saw several other servants such as maids and butlers. Looking outside the windows I noticed farmers and people wearing red medieval armor.
A shiver ran down my spine when I saw their spears.
Let´s don´t get stabbed by one of those...
I hasted my pace so I could forget quicker of those bad thoughts.
