Obsession

Chapter 5

It was Pitch Black everywhere, I feel like I'm floating, I don't feel the floor beneath my foot. I feel lite, the fire should have consumed me. I must be in Heaven. I pictured heaven as a brightly lit place with magnificent views which spreads happy vibes. I don't think it's Heaven. Why can't I move, I can't lift a finger? I don't even feel the pain. I don't know how long I have been here. The time seems to stop here.

A bright light appeared, a man with a black hood came near me "follow me" he said. My body started floating following him. I had so many questions to ask. But I can't speak a word.

The man halted near an old-looking man with a big beard and moustache. He was looking at a book in which the letters were changing themselves, and the place was filled with strange things, that are doing their work. It's magical.

The tea in the cup was filling itself, a pen was writing on a book. Papers flying here and there aligning themselves in order. The book is arranging itself in the self. And the woodblock bounced into the fire on its own. A broom was cleaning the room on its own. It was amazing.

The old man looked at me, " You have two options. One, Your next life is sorted out, you can go and start new.  Or, you can go back to your previous life for revenge. If you are picking up a new life you can start now. But if you pick revenge, you will have a lot to be prepared for. The choice is yours"

Though a new life with a fresh start is quite tempting, I must go back. I have to teach them a good lesson "Sir, I would like to go back". The old man nodded, the place blacked all of a sudden.

I opened my eyes and looked around, I'm in my room. Wait, I'm back. But why am I still in the Jones family manor, I turned to see the date, I'm about to enter my senior year in school. "Aww. I have gone back in time" if my knowledge serves me right then our vacation starts today. We have three whole months of Holiday before school starts again.

This time I will set things right. I got up from the bed, took a bath put on my makeup but less ugly. I somehow feel that this make-up protects me from the false people who pretend. I got dressed and went down for breakfast. Grandpa was sitting on the head chair at the dining table waiting for everyone.

It's nice to see grandpa healthy and alive. I ran and hugged him "grandpa I missed you so much, next time when you go out, please take me with you," I said " hahaha. Silly girl, what happened to you? You saw me yesterday night, but your behaving like it's been year's since you saw me. Are you alright dear?" Grandpa replied.

"I know grandpa but it feels like a long time," I said. " I thought you would be in Paris with your mother and sister, but why are you home?" Grandpa asked me. I didn't know that mother-daughter duo went to Paris. Good for me. I can start repairing my life. " no grandpa I'm not interested in Paris" I replied," Then what are you planning to do" grandpa asked.

"Can take me to the office to teach me?" I asked him.  He was more than happy to teach me the trade.

It was only me,  grandpa and my adoptive father, William. Since grandpa is home no one will ask me to do work. Thank God, the mother-daughter duo had gone on vacation. I had a lot of free time.

Grandpa called his secretary to place an extra table and chair in his room. And he took me to the office.
