Eleanor's eyes flew open, her heart pounding in her chest. The last thing she remembered was the searing pain as her best friend Celeste's dagger pierced her side. Celeste's eyes had been cold and calculating as she watched the life drain from Eleanor's body. How could the girl she had grown up with, the one she trusted more than anyone, have betrayed her so cruelly?
As Eleanor's vision cleared, she realized she was no longer in the dark alley where Celeste had ambushed her. Instead, she found herself in a familiar bedroom - her childhood room, filled with the remnants of her early magical studies. Eleanor sat up with a start, her mind racing. This couldn't be real. She had to be dreaming.
Suddenly, the door to her room burst open and a familliar girl came rushing in. "Eleanor! You're awake!" the girl exclaimed, her eyes shining with relief.
Eleanor stared at the girl, her brow furrowed in confusion. "Iris? But how...?"Iris was Eleanor's big sister,Iris was 6 years older than Eleanor.
Iris hurried to Eleanor's bedside, grasping her hands tightly. "Oh, Eleanor, we were so worried! When you collapsed during your magic lesson, we thought..." Her voice trailed off, the fear evident in her expression.
Magic lesson? Collapsed? Eleanor's mind whirled as she tried to make sense of Iris's words. Had it all truly been a dream? But the memory of Celeste's betrayal felt so painfully real.
"Iris, what day is it?" Eleanor asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Why, it's your 10th birthday, of course," Iris replied, her brow furrowing in concern. "Eleanor, are you alright? You seem...different, somehow."
Her 10th birthday. That was the day before Eleanor's fateful encounter with Celeste, the day before her world had been shattered. Somehow, impossibly, Eleanor had been transported back in time, to the eve of her betrayal and murder.
A surge of hope blossomed within Eleanor's chest. This was her chance - her chance to change the course of events, to prevent the tragedy that had befallen her. With a newfound determination, Eleanor was ready to change her fate.
