Sterling's POV


" Wake up... wake your a** up child!!" I was woken up by the harsh tone from my father. I jumped forward breathing heavily, processing my surroundings. " Don't you ever make me repeat myself boy, now get up!" My father yelled at me once more and stormed out of the room. I stared at him wide eyed completely shouting in my head.





'What the heck just happened?! Carlisle, Lili... and Heiou killing me. Why would he kill me? How did I end up back home? Was I captured again? Was this all a long dream? This is not making sense!' I jumped out of bed and toward the bathroom. My eyes popped out as I was perplexed to see my face was younger and my height was shorter.





" What the heck is going on? Why do... how is this happening?!" I murmered. I ran out the bathroom and into the hallways, searching for some sort of clock or calendar. I accidentally bumped into one of the maids and she dropped a bucket of cleaning supplies.





I knelt down to help her; but to my surprise, it was the maid who was killed before I was sold. I just stared at her wide eyed, ' Are my eyes playing tricks on me? She was murdered, but she is standing right in front of me!' I thought before she interrupted, " Estás bien? Parece que no te encuentras bien esta mañana, ¿estás enfermo?" (Are you alright? You seem unwell this morning, are you sick?) She asked worriedly.





I didn't say anything but just giving her a tight and warm hug. " Por favor no abraces a una persona como yo, solo soy una sirvienta. ¡Tú y yo nos meteremos en serios problemas por esto!" (Please don't hug a person like me, I am just a maid. You and I will get into deep trouble for this!)





" Qué fecha es? Especialmente el año." (What date is it? Specially the year.) I asked urgently, letting go of the hug. She took a look at her watch, still flustered, " Well its ( A/N: Whatever date it should be because I didn't keep track)" I was too shocked to say anything, I just stared into space. ' I'm a child again?'

After cleaning myself up, I stared at the ground for hours and constantly looking at myself in the mirror. The maids were worried for me because I didn't leave my room all this time. I told them that they were dismissed every time they checked in on me. I constantly kept staring at myself in the mirror, trying to figure out some sort of reason why this is happening.





The words of the warden then came to my head, "I'm trying to find a power. A power that can change reality through time, let me live different lifestyles to the fullest, and age won't be able to stop me." Then remembering the immense amount of pain that surged through my body, then I was cold as dead for a while. I them woke up on the ground with Lili crying on my chest. Then Heiou shooting me.





" Is this the power? Traveling through time? This is the only logically thing that is making sense right now. Or I just had a lengthy dream." I said to myself. Another knock from the door from the maid from earlier. She entered in and peeked through the door, " Lamento molestarte, sé que quieres que te dejen en paz, pero tu padre busca tu presencia en la mesa." (I'm sorry to disturb you, I know you want to be left alone, but your father seeks your presence at the dinner table).





The memory of her being killed and me being sent away resurfaced. Curiosity got the best of me and I desired to see it through. I nodded at her and went downstairs towards the dinning room. I sat in my appropriate seat with my parents. " Por qué ignoras a tus sirvientas? ¡Mi paciencia contigo se está agotando!" (Why are you ignoring your maids? My patience with you is running very thin!) My father scolded.
