A Whole New Person…?

Katarina's POV

 I woke up with a headache and when I looked around, I realized that I was in a different room from the last one I had been shot in.

I suddenly remembered that I had been shot none but George which made me filled with rage as I hastily sat up. 

that freaking asshole! 

I got out of the bed I was laying in and stretched a little. I was still stretching when a mirror at the end of the strange looking room caught my attention and I lazily inched towards it. Lo and behold, in the mirror, I saw a strange woman staring back at me.

"Aagh!" I screamed in shock, jumping back as I was confused as to who was before me. This was a strange thing happening to me. I raised my hand and the lady in the mirror did the same thing.

I waved my hands around and it wasn't helping with the woman doing the same thing with me.

I was really confused because when I had been shot, I had been in my own body, in a hotel room, but here I was in a different body and in a different room.

 None of this was making sense to me.

No, this was a dream. I smacked my face to wake up but I found out I wasn't waking up. This was real. I was stuck in a body that certainly wasn't mine.

I didn't know what I was going to do now and so I sat in a chair and let my mind pounder on what was currently happening to me. 

I could clearly what happened to me moments ago. I had been shot by my husband after I had signed the divorce papers and signed my properties over to him.

That monster had not even left me alive. He had taken everything from me down to my own life. How heartless could he be? I had done nothing wrong to him but he had taken everything from me. He was a monster.

I was overrun by anger and betrayal in that very moment.

The voice in my thoughts was different. Softer, slower. This meant that I was truly someone else. I was now someone different. Which made zero sense to me.

'Welcome to your new life,' a voice said to me as I looked around me to know who was talking.

"Who is it?" I said in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. "Who is out there?"

'You don't need to know who I am. I am not important. You on the other hand… you are important. You have been given a second chance at life and your new life started after you had been shot and then died. You are now currently trapped in a hit story.'

This is only getting weirder! What hit story? What was this voice talking about?

I wanted to ask a lot of questions but the voice started talking again, which made me realize that I was only going to distract it so I might as well listen to what it had to say.

'In order for you to acquire that second chance to live your life in your own world, you must first help the main character of this world you're trapped in have a satisfying, happy ending.'

"And why will I do that?" I asked. "You could just grant me this new ending to this strange and random person while you also help me get back to my own life. Can't you help me do that?"

'That my dear young one is not how this story goes. You will have to go through this story the way I have laid it out for you.'

"And what if I fail?" I asked, rolling my eyes while walking around the room in my new body. It felt weird, being in someone else's body when I could be in my own body.

'If you fail your, soul will die and you will disappear forever.'

 I flinched at those words.

That was direct and mean. I had not seen that response coming. There had to be another way to go through this.

"Come on," I sighed. "You can't just wipe me out just because I asked that question. Please, I need to get out of here. I just want to leave this place. I don't want to stay and be someone else. I have a life to live."

As I spoke, I suddenly remembered the people who have hurt me, who had killed me after ruining my life! The desire to get revenge on them was so intense, it danced around the insides of my chest. 

 So, I guess I should really be grateful for this second chance. At least that way, there's still a way for me to return back to it once I was done with this damn story. 

'That is the only rule. If you fail to make the body of the main character which you're currently stuck in to have a happy ending, then you'd die and disappear forever with no one having any recollection of you.'

Okay, that last part was new. I could not disappear like that. I had so much to accomplish! 

this was a do or die then. 

"Fine," I finally accepted. "I'll take the offer and do what you ask."

I started to think of returning back to my old life where I would teach Riley and George a lesson for what they had done to me.

I looked at the plain outfit I had on even when I had woken up and started for the door. I better start working on getting this bitch a happy ending, don't you think so?!

although, when I got outside, I noticed a few people giving me pitying looks and a few people outrightly laughed while pointing at me without caring that I was right in front of them.

What was it? Why was that? I thought to myself.

I started back for the house which I had exited minutes ago. 

When I got home, I found a lot of things which told me that the main character's body which I was trapped in has been blind, but somehow, now I was in her body, her blind eyes could now see.

That was when a lot of things dawned on me.

No one ever takes the main character seriously because of her blindness, and from the little I've seen, I knew the main character certainly gets walked over by other people. 

"Well this sucks," I sighed, falling into her bed as I thought of my next step.
