Flinching as glass shatters. I back away. Wide eyed I look at the strange lady who look exactly like my next door neighbor.
"Miss Johnson" I stutter out of shock.
What is happening. Looking down at my hands I see no marred skin from the fire.
Patting down my body I feel no burn scars which should cover my whole body.
Looking up at the lady. I now notice that she is much younger the miss Johnson are.
And her clothes. Old clothes. Like clothes you find in fantasy books and movies.
She's wearing a long blue dress.
Looking closely at her face I note she's furious. At me.
She picks up a plate and throws it at me. It shatters when it meets the wall beside my head.
A shard slice my right cheekbone. I gasp and and touch the wound with the top of my fingers. When I show them before my eyes I can see blood.
My blood. How can there be blood I'm supposed to be dead.
What is this. Where am I.
"You useless fool" the lady yell's at me.
I stare confused at her. The words she says isn't registering in my mind.
"Good-for-nothing fool" she throws a another plate.
"A girl like you.." she stops to take a breath "should never have been born"
Why does this sound familiar.
"Oh" right my father used to scream the same things.
"Stop acting like the victim" she huff's.
"Every time I see you, it's as if I'm walking through the flames of hell!" I flinch back at the mention of flames.
Remembering the souring pain they inflicted on my body.
They can't harm me now. I remind myself.
"You better pay attention when I'm talking to you!" She screams at my face.
It seems I'm still short in this life to.
Looming over me she raises her hand. "Even you think you're better then me now, don't you?!"
She slaps me across the face. That stinging feeling i have felt hundreds of times before.
It hurts. But I'm sure I died. Looking back at the blood from before.
Th-This is..
Could it be..?
My heart is pounding fast. Registering the truth of this.
Have I reincarnated somehow to this strange world.
"Now even my niece thinks she's better then me"
If this is my new life...
...It's too cruel.
She slaps me again.
