Chapter 3 - Reincarnated
Maiden walked back and forth in her small room. After a couple of days of recuperating to heal her head, she can finally get out of her bed. However, she hasn't gone so much outside of the room and chose to remain in it the entire time. She doesn't even bother to welcome the sun outside even though it's tempting her to the extreme.
When she woke up in Pheia's body back then, she tried to find in Pheia's memories who Pheia was and the people around her. Maiden is definitely confused about how to recognize herself. Whether to call herself Maiden or just accept that she is now Pheia.
She sighed while sitting at the edge of her bed and whisper to herself, God knows how many lies I tried to con just to save my real identity.
She tried to seek whether what happened to Pheia. What caused her death, where was her soul, and why was her soul is replaced, instead. Because as far as she is concerned, she is way more certain that she transmigrated into Pheia's body. Lest, the odd of science.
A moment later, she heard a knock on the door. It was probably Pheia's mother. She opens the door and came to invite a beautiful young girl instead of Pheia's mother.
The beautiful young girl has curly auburn hair and a white complexion, which seems fair though. The young girl looked at Pheia with sparkling eyes, run, and hugged her in the process.
"Pheia-sama, I missed you. I thought you died. I'm sorry it's my fault. I shouldn't have told you to get my little cat at that stupid tall tree. I'm really sorry Pheia-sama. I told my sister, Alani the truth. Like you always said "Truth can set us free." But it doesn't Pheia-sama. I just felt more guilty as Alani-sama scolded me for risking your life without even looking at your capacity to climb a tall tree with your heavy weight and...." Her eyes bulged through her eyelids as she realized she must have said something she shouldn't have.
From what Maiden hears from her long rants. Speculations are true by what she saw in Pheia's wound. She must have bumped her head with a hard thing causing some fracture in it. And due to the fact that Pheia, in heaven's sake was merely 300 pounds. The fall must be heavier than expected. More damage as well.
As Maiden scanned Pheia's body this morning. She had bruises on her butt, legs, and arms. Which should say, it's definitely a tall tree.
The girl in front of Maiden started to say she doesn't mean to actually mean Pheia's weight. Which Maiden found cute enough to forgive her. Even though she doesn't even know who the young girl was the feeling she felt for the little girl says no harm.
The little girl stayed a little longer in her room and Maiden found the least trickery of asking her, the young girl's name without her knowing. Then to her success, the young girl's name is Alira Aswel, daughter of the cook in the manor, who has been friends with Pheia's mother. Alira said also earlier that she's the sister of Alani, the one who rescued her or Pheia rather.
I will never get used to this. How am I going to call myself? Pheia? Or my real name, Maiden? Arghhh confusing me as much as it bothers the heavy fat that keeps on bouncing with me. Arghhh.. God!
Way back when Maiden was in her previous life, she was never fat yet never as thin as to see someone whose ribcages can be seen. She always trained herself together with her Uncle Brook and exercised so often that she got a much leaner physique. Although, because of her physique, she often looked fragile but she was really strong and has stamina/endurance that can surpass three men in one go.
She sighed again remembering her past life. And it was like a mental torture to her yet she has to live the life she had now. She has to live as Pheia. So the first thing she will do as Pheia is to change her physique and diet. She should return her body and trained herself again. She doesn't know what's going to come to her life in this Medieval time. So, it's better to be ready than to have the same fate as her previous life.

Alira later went home as her mother must be out of the castle soon and should have been home.
As Maiden was about to climb to bed to take a nap. She hissed as a sudden jolt of pain screeched right through her head. It's like tons of tons of pictures playing a reel through it. She shouted as more pain comes havocking her brain.
The memories of Pheia.
Pheia's mother came dashing through the door looking at her worriedly.
"What's wrong Pheia?" She asked eyeing Pheia worriedly and painfully.
"My head..... it hurts." She said as she saw twinkling stars and darkness started to envelop her
