2 1 — Unfamiliar

An unfamiliar face was in 'my' reflection. I pinched my cheeks and it hurts, this is not a dream. I rushed to open the windows, desperately hoping to see a familiar view. It wasn't. "No, no, no, no, no, no!!!"

A woman then barged in the room. "Dear, what's wrong?!" Who are you? Who am i? What is this? I have so many questions but my voice won't come out. I was too overwhelmed of the situation on hand that i fainted.

'Elise...' ...Mmm huh? Oh, i fainted. I just heard someone calling me. So, it was a dream... I slapped my cheeks. 'I must calm down and think, panicking won't help me.' Before i fainted, a person came into the room. I'm guessing that they were out when i first woke up.

This is not a hospital ward, this is a house. They do not have servants here also. This 'night gown' that i am wearing right now is normal clothing because that's what the woman was wearing too. I looked in my reflection again. "How did you even survive in a place like this?"

Let's look around more. Is this a room or a pigsty? Clothes and trash are piling up here and there. I can't concentrate in such a messy room, I WILL CLEAN IT MYSELF.

"Haa... This is kind of fun but it's very exhausting. When I'm back at the mansion, I'll be more nice to the cleaners." The room was a lot more organized now, i felt a little accomplished.

Something caught my attention. "Hm, a book? Why does this have so many bookmarks in it?" Many things are so strange and my questions just keep increasing. The cover was also quite intriguing. [The Sacrifice] I don't know how i read it but i felt that i just knew how. Well, it's been a while since i read something so why not try reading it.
