Lily-
I felt fatigue. My eyes were too heavy to open. I could hear beeping noise , It is irritating. I could hear people running and yelling. Some one came and check out my forehead. someone injected me and some scribbling.
what is going on? the only question I had. I was trying hard to open my eyes. It's a scary feeling when you could hear anything and everything but could not see. Right now, I am the most vulnerable person.
Suddenly, my efforts were answered and my eyes shot opened. that was the worst decision ever as blinding white lights were hanging right on my face . my eyes shot open then shut them immediately. who does this? I mean clearly you have to take this kinda situation in account if you have a person who is sleeping or unconscious, eventually he or she is going to open the eyes. Which smarty pants put the lights exactly above the face ?
"She is awake, c'mon, call the doctors. Sweetie, breath for me" I heard someone saying."inhale, exhale" wihout knowing who that is, I did what I was told. "are you in pain anywhere? does it hurt anywhere? I just nodded my neck in no.
"Why wont she speak?" panicked voice of my mother was heard. "I believe she is trance. might be PTSD. we need to make sure" a female voice answered. I was taken to other room, went through multiple tests, eyes checkup and what not.
She then took me out and we went to same room where I was kept before tests. "She is fine, like physically.She did not show any signs of stress or any other mental disturbance whatsoever. I am not sure why she is not talking but my bet is on PTSD. She will eventually come out of it and talk. Be patient and do not ask her to recall the accident.That will strain her memory and it will trigger any other things which you dont want to deal with. you may take her home. bring her for checkups.timings and dates are on file." female doctor told everything in one professional tone and left us.
I was just staring out from window. Trying to figure out what exactly happened. you see, its not a day to day life where you feel a dream so deeply. I dont even know if that was a dream. If it was not, I was reborn but that is not normal. Is it?
I never heard of anyone who was reborn just because you asked for it. have you? I need to know what is going on but certainly this does not come with manual or something. I need time to tackle or learn whatever the hell is going on. I need time. For a time being, I decided it was okay to stay mute and deaf. pretending wont hurt. Because when people think you cant hear and talk, you are the secret keeper.
I will get some information this way. I am not able figure out what happened to me was a dream, a hallucination or just my brain playing games with me?
My parents and Rose took me home. my nanny Emma asked me if she should prepare a bath. I went in the bathroom , in daze I took a bath and wrapped a robe on my body. I took step out of bathtub and headed to full size mirror which was covered in mist. I cleared some and saw my 14 year old face.
So to summarize, I am reborn. I died because of Rose. She hated me, despite everything I did for her. That ungrateful bitch hired maniacs to rape me. She killed me in worst way possible. now I have all the memories and no evidence to prove she did it. Fate might want me to expose her.
That is the logical reason I thought for this reincarnation incident.
I must prepare myself for upcoming events. I need people on my side, another source of wealth , trust of my parents. Stephen? my mind went numb because I loved him with all my heart. He was the only man I loved. I cannot think what to do with him. I know whatever the hell I went through, he was part of it, he made few things but because of Rose's manipulation. So is it entirely his fault? or not?Shall I give him benefit of doubt?
Someone frantically knocked on door. "Lily, Lily sweetie.. are you okay in there? please open the door. please sweetie.. Dan she is not opening the door , she is in the bathroom for last 40 minutes. there is no response , water stopped running and I .. I .. She ..." her voice was breaking at the end of sentence. I took the chance and before my dad slammed the door and break it down, I opened it.
"Darling, are you okay? do you feel alright?"" I was worried, why did you shut yourself in? why didn't you answer?" both of them asked me. "I am sorry mom, sorry dad. I was actually trying to recall everything that happened to me. I just could not remember and it was frustrating. I am sorry that I worried you. It won't happen again" my voice was rough.
"She talked to me, Honey she talked. She said something. Did you hear.my princess did it..Oh my god... " my mother started crying. I looked at her and hugged her. "Uh, I will give you some time. Dress up and meet us downstairs." my dad cleared his throat. Then I got to know I was in robe only.
"yes , sweetie , come downstairs and lets have breakfast today." mom said while closing the door. I got dressed up in jeans and top and went downstairs to meet my parents and Rose.She was telling him something , but he was totally into news paper. Just to make her believe that he was listening to her, he was nodding his head now and then. I cleared my throat and dad looked up from newspaper. "Lily , come sit. Let's have a breakfast. What do want to eat?" he patted a chair next to him. I could see a fumes literally coming from Rose's ears. so this is what happened...I was totally oblivious to it and she blamed it all on me. huh..
I took the chance and smiled at my dad. Sat next to him. "Dad, I am sorry I don't remember anything." I put sad face on. "no worries baby girl. I dont want you to feel pressure. Its okay. anyways, what do you want for your freshman year?" he asked me but chose to ignore Rose. "uh I haven't thought about it yet. but is it necessary dad?" I asked him and he whole heartedly laughed. "Oh absolutely yes ... My princess is in college now. I must look out for all the boys who wants to stole her." "Yes, darling you see , its our tradition. And I go with your dad, my princess is so beautiful that boys hover around you." my mom cooed.
Rose was burning with rage now.
