Who am I you ask? I am the side princess.

New life - Start! , wait something is wrong!

Rei POV

This time, I did not gain consciousness immediately. The main reason being that my surroundings were really comfortable. I know it sounded strange, but I felt as if I was underwater. I knew, I was not breathing, but what I did know was that I was surrounded by warmth. It felt ........strange, I was definitely alive. I had a heartbeat, that was a fact I was sure of. This was definitely abnormal, however it felt right. Before I could think anymore, I drifted off to sleep.

The next time I gained a bit of consciousness, I was in the same place. This time , I could feel my limbs. Without any thoughts, I kicked with all my might. My awareness was hazy, but I definitely felt my feet connect with something. What was it?I have no idea. I felt myself drifting off to sleep but not before I heard a voice.

"Good. Good. You are also eager to get out. Get out fast baby! You are my only hope to leave this hell". The voice said. It was a very faint, female voice.

Before I could process the words or try to comprehend its meaning, the urge to sleep overpowered my consciousness,as I fell into deep slumber again.

This time, as I woke up, my consciousness was clearer than the other times. It was still very hazy, but it was definitely clearer.

I heard the female voice again. It was whispering something. I tried to concentrate so that I could make out what she was saying.

From what I heard in bits and pieces, the voice was reading out a story. I could not comprehend the content being narrated, but the tone was really soothing. I again drifted off to sleep.

This time, my consciousness returned completely. For the first time I had a very, very strong urge to leave my very comfortable surroundings. This thought had not even crossed my mind before, but now, every molecule in my body wanted to leave this place. I did not know what was happening to me. I saw a light in front of me. I did not think and left myself to my instincts.

I distinctly heard someone screaming and people shouting, but I was too disoriented to make out the words.

I reached towards the light with all my might. Then , I blanked out for a moment. My consciousness returned to me at full force, clearer than ever. Air entered my lungs so fast, it was painful. I couldn't help it. The urge to cry empowered me, I tried to fight it but my instincts won the battle. I opened my mouth and an ear - piercing cry left my mouth. I started wailing and bawling my eyes out. What was wrong with me?! I was not supposed to cry like this! This thought made me cry even more.

I was still crying when I felt something soft touching my skin. Someone had wrapped me in something. What was going on here? With great difficulty I stopped crying and opened my eyes.

My eyes were met with pink ones. Faintly smiling over me, was a beautiful woman. She had blue hair and pink eyes. She looked gorgeous. At that moment I knew. I made it. It was successful. I had reincarnated into a new world, and judging by the situation I was an infant.

At this point of time, my cries were reduced to sniffles. Now, that I was not busy bawling my eyes out, I understood a lot of things.

First, - the so called comfortable place was most likely my mom's womb. ( Wow, never thought I would experience that...... like WOW....).

Second, - I was just born. ( Literally) .

I examined my new surroundings. I was in, what most people would call, an absolutely luxurious room. All around me, maids were running around. Some where carrying blood soaked sheets, while some where carrying bloodied water. There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room. A woman was lying on it. She looked exhausted. She had black hair, but I could not make out her features. It did not take a genius to figure. That person had just gone through childbirth. Considering the fact that I was the one who was born a few minutes ago. That person was my mom. Now, the million dollar question was , why was I not in her arms? It's not like I was complaining about my current location, it was extremely comfortable, but shouldn't I be in my mother's arms?

I was still musing over this situation when the woman holding me gently smiled at me. That completely took my attention. I guess I was wrapped up in a soft towel. I also gave her a little smile.

She touched my nose with the tip of her finger,and gently said, "Welcome in this world, Your highness. I promise, I will protect you".

Wait! Did she just say your highness?! Wait a minute what does that mean? Was I a royal? What was going on here?! If I was a royal then I was definitely dead meat.Sure I could survive, but I did not wish to survive, I wished to live! I specifically told them not to send me somewhere important and they sent me here. What is going to happen now?!

My thoughts went all over the place. I was already fighting a battle against my instincts to cry. All of these thoughts threw me straight into a crying fit, as I lost my battle with my baby instincts again.

The woman gently craddled me in her arms and said in a soothing voice," It's ok your highness. It's ok. I guess you are crying for your mother. Just wait a moment. I will get you to her". With that she walked towards the massive bed,while craddling me in her arms.

She arrived at the bedside, where the woman with black hair, my mother, was lying. I looked at her and I stopped crying immediately because holy hell! This woman was absolutely gorgeous. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Soft features, pale skin and eyes, oh! beautiful green eyes, reminding a person about lush green forest. Even tired and sweaty from childbirth, this woman was drop - dead gorgeous. She could model for a fashion magazine just like this and she would absolutely kill it.

Mom was definitely gorgeous, but there was something wrong with her.
She was not speaking. She was simply staring blankly at the ceiling. Even as the lady holding me had arrived on her bedside, she made no move to acknowledge her presence. Her eyes were beautiful, but it lacked the spark of life. I did not know what it was but there was definitely something wrong with her. I became worried. I had seen that look many times before. I had seen it in the eyes of the people who had fallen into despair. That was not an expression, a person who had given birth should have. Before I could say or rather babble anything, the lady holding me addressed mom.

"Lady Sorian, Congratulations. You gave birth to a healthy princess. Please hold her". The lady holding me, gently addressed my mother.

Mom did not reply or made any move of acknowledgement.

" My lady" . The lady holding me prompted again.

This time mom's eyes drifted towards us. She slowly, with the help of a maid standing near her, got up and looked at me and the lady. She then reached her hands out in our direction, as If she wanted to take me. The lady taking the hint, slowly gave me to her.

Mom took me in her arms and silently stared at me. She did not say a word but too many emotions flashed in her eyes. There were too fast for me to comprehend. I did not know why, but I reached towards her and silently touched her . I don't know what happened , but suddenly she hugged me tightly. I don't know why, but at that moment I had a feeling, that this woman was going to leave me.
