Sister Claes - My Next Life as a Villainess

I'm Still Here?

                                                            ---------------Lily's POV------------------

The day after the ball I was so exhausted. Lady Katarina,thankfully, was leaving to go with her minions.  This world confuses me a lot. Mother and Father fight a lot, I've tried to even still now the best I can but from what I've been hearing they're thinking about just settling with a divorce. I also can't even tell if this is just another world or all in my mind, but if this is all in my mind, just everything feels so real. Master Leon asked about possibly going for a walk in the gardens later this afternoon. I denied because of exhaustion and he was suprised. I have a feeling my other self or me? Anyways, probably doesn't say no often, I wonder if I ever feel alone here? Obviously it seems I have Keith and friends but  its just different with that Katarina. As well as I'm returning to the Magic Academy as a second year, am I still the supposed president?

I get up after a while and go walk over to knock on Keith's room. He doesn't open it and a neighboring maid let me know he went on a quick trip. I nodded and thanked her. I decided on my own to go walk outside and just sat down. Its so beautiful outside. Three butterflies started to land on my head, which made me laugh. I just walk around the nearby forest. I used my magic a bit and glided myself up and it was amazing to start flying. After, I returned back to the mansion and went to my bed, I was pretty exhausted after that. 

As I drift off to sleep. I have a memory when before my reincarnation. I was back with my friends except I wasn't they were all crying mourning. I see a bow and arrow with a message on it, which reminds me how long has it been since I've done some Archery? I walk over to see on it, apparently my family gave it to one of my friends. I walked over to them and put my hand on their shoulder a tear trickling down my eye. They looked up for a moment almost as if they could feel me but then return to crying. I proceed to wake up.

      --------------Maria's POV-------------

We kept on our quest to find Lady Lily. The bear led us to this small town and we stopped. Lady Randall asked us to split into pairs. Then Prince Geordo mentioned how he knew someone and went off on his own. I ended up going with Lady Katarina and Master Keith. As Lady Randall went off on her own as well. We went around town asking if anyone saw her. 

We finally go to the last house when I stop dead in my tracks. I saw a trail of black smoke.

"Lady Katarina, Master Keith!" I yelled while pointing in fear.

"Maria, what is it?" Lady Katarina spoke .

"Down there I saw a trail of black smoke but it just disappeared." 

Not much later we notified Prince Geordo and Lady Randall. We sat down and talked. Master Keith was helping Lady Katarina write a message back to their parents. Oh, I'm sure they're so worried, I really hope Lady Lily is okay. 

                ---------Keith's POV-----------

We sit at this local restaurant and while we wait sister wanted to send a letter back home to our parents. I'm so worried. I keep remembering all the talks,birthday, picnics, and celebrations us three had. Wherever you are please be safe, I can't lose a sister. 

"Sister! You can't write that mother and father wouldn--" 

  Please be safe...

           ------Lily's POV-------

I heard a knock on the door. I ran over and opened it and saw Keith.

"Do you want to go for a walk?"

I happily agree. We go around to the backyard. 

"Oh I got something for you!" 

Im suprised as he pulls out a small little case. He hands it to me.

"Keith, you didn't have t-"

"Please just open it."

I look inside and its this beautiful silver necklace. I smile cover my face with my hand, slowly walk over and give Keith a hug. He smiles happily.

"Thank you so much Keith." 

I then remember I'm not his well this worlds sister.

"But I'm not you, well your worl-"

"I know but I'd thought you might like this necklace."

I start tearing up and give him another hug. 

"Thank you."

"Is everything alright why are you crying?"

"I'm scared."
