Take Me Back

02

CHOSEON ACADEMY. 

The sun was so bright that it eventually woke up Leia. She squinted her eyes and covered her eyes with her hand. After a good stretch, she sat up and stretched her back again as her back hurts from lying down in a hard surface after so long. She tried to open her eyes fully and let out a full yawn. She was staring into empty space for about a minute, until she realized she was in an unfamiliar place.

She looked left and right, and all around to see where she was. "Where am I?" she thought to herself and panicked a little. She then calmed herself down and tried to remember what happened to her before she woke up.

She remembered that while she was going home a creepy man followed her which led her to accidentally falling over a downhill and hit her head in a tree. "But aren't I supposed to be next to a tree?" she thought.

Leia looked around again, and it looked like she was in a school. It was similar to those private schools that she see often in tv. "Did someone carry me all the way here?" "Did someone kidnap me?" "Is someone pranking me at the moment?" Leia had so many thoughts in her head but all she wants to know is where is she at the moment and how can she go home. She was worried that her mother might be so worried since she didn't get to go home.

She walked around to see if she can get a hint as to where she is at the moment but as she kept walking, she gets no luck. She somehow arrived in a garden, there were different beautiful flowers and the garden smelled amazing. She kept walking because she thought if she followed the flowers she might arrive somewhere. 

As she was walking, someone yelled "You there!" towards her. She stopped walking and turned her head towards the direction of the voice. She was now staring at someone who is wearing a casual dress that somehow still appears to be classy, she was also wearing a weave hat and was holding a watering can. 

As she was staring she then realized that she finally found someone who can answer her questions. Leia ran towards the lady who appears to be watering flowers under the scorching sun. 

She arrived panting but still tried her best to talk. "Hi, I'm sorry but can I know where am I at the moment? I seem to be lost" Leia said while trying to catch her breathe. "What do you mean? Are you trying to play dumb with me? Go water this flowers, I ordered 4 servants to do this but yet not one did what I ordered, so stupid" The lady said as she rolled her eyes.

"servant?" Leia thought, then she looked at her outfit and realized that she was still wearing the outfit she wore when she got off work. "Oh I'm sorry! I think you misunderstood but I am not a servant. I just work in a fast food restaurant that's why I am wearing this, but I am literally lost can you tell me where we are at the moment?" 

The lady just stared at her in confusion. She didn't know what to respond because she honestly didn't know what this commoner looking girl is talking about. Then she gasped all of a sudden and covered her mouth. "Are you a traitor?". Leia just stared at her with her mouth open because she didn't know what the lady was asking her.

"You're someone who wants to kidnap a royalty here right? Wait here I will turn you over to the guards" The lady said as she put down the watering can and walked away. Leia was processing what happened then realized that the lady misunderstood her. "Wait! hold on!" Leia shouted and chased the lady. The lady continued to walk and Leia just followed her. "I don't mean any harm I promise! I am just confused as to where I am now! I am lost!" Leia said while following her. The lady stopped and looked at her. "Who are you and what kingdom are you from?" The lady asked. 

"Kingdom?" Leia asked confused. "My name is Leia, but I don't know what kingdom do you mean but can you tell me where is the nearest bus station? I just really want to go home" She added. "Bus station? You mean a horse station?" The lady said. "Horse? No ugh either way can you tell me how to get out of here because I want to go home" Leia told the lady.

"You're a commoner, right?" The lady asked. "Commoner?" Leia asked back. "You have no kingdom, you don't know where you are from and you're wearing such horrible outfit" The lady said. Leia is not gonna lie but she was kind of offended with how she commented about her outfit. "But if the guards found out about you, you're gonna get locked up and killed, come with me and I'll let you explain" The lady said and grabbed Leia's hand and dragged Leia all the way out to the garden.

Leia and the lady arrived at somewhat like a bedroom. Leia guessed it was the lady's bedroom. The lady picked up the bell and rang it. Then a middle aged lady arrived and bowed down. "What can I help, Princess Theana?" she said. "Get this commoner something to wear, it's almost meeting time at the auditorio".

"Wait where are you taking me?" Leia asked the lady whose name appears to be Theana. "I'm taking you with me, I don't want to leave you alone, God knows what will you do when I am away. We're going to have a meeting with the head master, you are a commoner but you have a decent face so I'm dressing you up like you're one of us". Theana replied. "Is my attire ready? I'll just change and we'll go immediately. I'll leave you under her care" Theana added then pointed at the middle-aged woman.

"Yes Princess Theana, everything is ready" The woman answered as she went out of the other room that was connected in Theana's bedroom and brought a casual long dress. Theana replied with an "ok" and immediately went to what appears to be her walk in closet. The middle aged woman bowed down as respect and went near Leia.

"I'm sorry if I appear crazy to you but can I know where I am right now? I literally do not know what happened and how I got here" Leia instantly asked the woman.

"Oh you're in Choseon academy, the academy for prince and princesses" the woman replied while adjusting the dress for Leia to wear. 

Choseon academy. That seems familiar, Leia kept thinking about where she heard that. But it just made her head hurt, "Look I am not from here, I need to go home and I am sure my mom is worried for me, do you know where is the nearest bus station?" Leia asked.

The lady stopped what she was doing and stared at Leia, she probably stared at her like a minute then held both of her hands and sat down at the sofa where Leia was sitting. 

"Are you from the future?" The woman asked. Leia was so confused that all she can say was "future?". The woman then said "So you are, what year are you from? What date can you remember". "Uhhh, 2019?" Leia replied with confusion. The woman then covered her mouth with her hands while looking at Leia. "You really are from the present" the woman said with tears forming in her eyes.

"I'm sorry I am really confused, what is happening here?" Leia asked the woman once again. The woman then held both of Leia's hands again and said.

"You just traveled back in time. This is the time of Prince Remes. You are in Choseon academy"

Then flashbacks came in Leia's mind, the time where she was late for school, her first period was a history class, they discussed about the war of Remes and Zen, pictures of Prince Remes appeared in her mind, so this probably means...

"Did the war happen already?" Leia asked.

"Not yet, but any time now the head master will choose Remes to be the representative" the woman replied.

"So you're telling me, I traveled back in the past?!"

WHAT?
