19 Karma Is A Bitch !

It's been a week since I was born [ again] and my life untill now has been interesting to say the least.

My mother had died the night she gave birth to me, she was killed.

Judging from the extravagant rooms and all, I was probably the son of a noble who already had a wife.

A bastard, if you will.

That is, if this world had a medieval setting, otherwise I could be son of a millionaire or something.

I must be a child born out of wedlock either way since-

There was no other reason why everyone around me was treating me so indifferently. It wasn't because they hated me... it was because they were afraid. Of what exactly they were all so afraid of.. I don't know.

Everybody I've met till now had horns.... so I'm pretty sure that we're not humans. My dead mother didn't have any horns though. Looking at popular folk lore our species could be classified as 'demons' or something like that.

My schedule for the past week has been eating, a lot of sleeping and taking short walks with Bonny. It was a simple yet satisfying routine.

Ok, this is tedious.

I can't take this stupid routine anymore.

If something interesting doesn't happen anytime soon.... I might just kill Bonny out of boredom.

Two weeks have passed since I was reborn into this world.

I've been trying to crawl but I haven't succeeded yet. I need power but ways to obtain it is limited when you still can't live without breastmilk....

Bonny was my wet nurse, I wish I could tell her to give me some kind of formula milk instead of her..... well the taste isn't that bad, it's good even. But it just feels wrong.

Whenever Bonny saw me trying to crawl, she would clap to show her encouragement and support. Speaking about her, ever since my mother was killed in front of her, she had been filled with guilt and cries herself to sleep most days.

But, I unfortunately do not care all that much about Bonny... so moving on,

I've also started to understand some of the language here, it helped that the language spoken here was similar to english. That was how I knew that Bonny's name was in fact... Bonny. I also learned what my name would be in this life, Alexander..... it's better than my last one at least.

I'm lying in my crib right now, staring at the ceiling, because even turning my head to the side required way too much energy.

Suddenly small black orbs come near me.

' You're back, huh ?', I think as I raise my hands to welcome them.

When I first saw these creatures, I was surprised to say the least. But after seeing that they weren't really harming me in any way I decided to let them be. Even if I wanted to do something to them... It wouldn't be possible since I'm still just a powerless baby.

I don't know what exactly they are.. since this is a fantasy world, they could be spirits or something like that right ?

I did try to befriend them but they wouldn't respond no matter how much I talked too them. They would just come in as a group and creepily watch me for some time and then leave.

I even tried to eat one of them once, but it just flew out of my mouth like a ghost.

They're strange beings but I'm glad for their company, since their presence lessens the boredom I feel even by a little.

Just like always they just watch me now as well, I try to touch one of them but my hands passes through it's body.

'' Look at our little Alex, trying to catch air.''

Bonny's voice surprises me. Why didn't I even notice her entering the room ?

Must be because of my baby brain.

I stop trying to catch black orbs and focus my attention on Bonny.

She walks towards me and picks me up with a worried expression on her face.

'' We're going to meet your mother today.... you have to be respectful, okay ?''

I'm confused. I thought my mother had died.

Bonny takes me out of the room and starts walking towards to what I think is the main building.

Since Bonny's just a servant, it's only reasonable to assume that I've been staying at the servants quarters till now. A child, even an illegitimate one of a noble house living in a place reserved for servants would only bring shame to that household.

I had guessed that I would be taken to the main house soon, seems like that was true.

This also confirmed that, the world I was in did have a kind of medieval setting, but the past few days I've noticed signs of modernity here. There was fans and bulbs and all.

As far as I know, the medieval period didn't have any of these, so this world seems too be a mix.

The main house looks far more glamorous than the place I was previously staying at but that's to be expected I suppose.

Bonny carried me inside the main house and we're standing in front of a door right now. She lets out a little sigh and knocks on the door.

'' Come in.'', the voice of a women is heard after the knock.

Bonny opens the door and I see my so-called 'mother' for the first time.

She was sitting on an expensive looking sofa, while slowly sipping tea from her teacup.

Her hair was blonde and eyes were of a green hue. She looked breathtaking. A true beauty that looked way too young to be a mother or a stepmother at that.

A frown appears on her face as her eyes fall on me.

Of course, she wouldn't like me... I'm a daily reminder that her husband had done the 'naughty-naughty' with someone else.

Hehe.

...

It seems like my humor sense has also been degraded to the level of a toddler.

Bonny bows her head and says in a respectful voice,

'' I greet her grace, Leylin.''

Oh.. so her name was Leylin. Good to know.

The frown on her face doesn't go away. She raises both her hands and looks expectantly at Bonny.

Bonny slowly gives me to her.

After I was in her hands, she says to Bonny.

'' Leave us.''

'' But my lad-'', Bonny stops speaking once she feels the glare directed at her face and leaves the room without a word.

We were alone in the room right now.

She stared at me and I stared right back. I win our little staring contest as she looks away from me after awhile.

She once again turns her eyes around to me, she watches me with a hateful gaze before finally saying,

'' It's all your fault.''

After saying that she pinches my baby cheeks.

…..

…..

…..

It seems that Karma really is... a bitch.
