Stuck together - Book One of Meehric's Tales

Prologue

Lilea is in the dark. Her limbs are clumsy and she can't really control them. She wants to open her eyes, but it's difficult. People are touching her, passing a wet sponge over her body. She wants to fight back but her arms don't respond in the correct way. She kicks and finally screams. But it is not her normal scream. She wants to ask why. The muscles of her mouth refuse to form words. She's lifted into the air by large hands and given to someone else. Those new arms are holding her close to their body. She wants to open her eyes. She can feel big lips kissing her forehead, a large hand petting her hair. With a last effort she finally opens her eyes. She sees a young and beautiful woman, her blonde hair soaked in sweat, smiling at her. Lilea lets another scream out. A man coos at her, his brown hair sticking in different directions, tears in his eyes but a bright white smile on his face. She feels weird. She can feel another force trying to control her body. Before she can even fight back, she's sunk back in. She can't make her arms do anything, can't let out a sound. But still, a scream comes out of her mouth. And this time, she realizes that it's a baby's cry.

"Welcome to the world, Abigail." murmurs Margaret.

Lilea starts to freak out and tries to concentrate. She finally meets the other force. The one who took control. It's a newborn force, virgin of everything. She can feel the soul cuddling with hers, looking for comfort. She's not alone. She's in someone else's body.
