Images flash before my eyes as I am sent to the new world.

Are these... memories? It must be.

My mind was blurry. I don't know if I was thinking about those words correctly. I feel awake yet asleep. And then, my eyes opened.

I am confined to a crib in a vast room. Looking up, I see a man and a woman who I assume are my parents.

But their skin... No, apart from their clothes, their entire body is colorless, like they have a black-and-white filter on them.

I raise my hands, and as expected, they're colorless. My hands look so small and cute that I can't stop playing with them.

My parents look incredibly massive, but it must be because I'm still a baby. Everything looks bigger than what adults usually see.

"Ah! She's awake! She's so cute!!!" She whispers. Her voice sounded so soothing yet gentle. The woman, my mother, is incredibly beautiful. Her long grey hair is tied back, reaching her waist and her bangs cover her right eye.

"You're right, but what do you think the other nobles would think of her later? We've kept her secret for the past 2 years." She asks the man beside her.

"I think it'll be alright. She's a miracle, after all." He responded. The man, my father, is quite handsome. His jet-black hair was combed back and has a mustache that covered his mouth. He appears to be in his early 50s.

"What if she becomes a target in the future? Everyone would want to get their hands on her because she's unique." She says in a worried voice.

"You're worrying too much, considering the person you were back then, you'd have no problem protecting her by yourself."

"I thought we wouldn't ever bring up the past again!" Her embarrassing yell echoed through the room.

"Ma'am Vytria and Sir Kraiter, the cake has arrived. May you visit the kitchen to inspect?" A woman asked. I look over to the door and see a maid with long green hair stretching down to her shoulders. Her hair had spikes in it like vines and purple eyes with pupils like a cat's.

How the heck does she live like that without getting pierced?

"Very well. Naic, watch over her." Mom says as she and my dad exit the room.

So my mom's name is Vytria, and my dad's name is Kraiter... Or is it the other way around? And who's Naic? Is it this cat staring at me so ominously?

I'm aware of the fact that beside me is a grey cat. Its entire body had no color, so I'm guessing it's my family's cat.

I still can't fathom the situation I'm in right now. I'm in a crib, so I must be like 2-4 years old old. Me and my parents look human but are colorless, so we must've come from a different race. That maid with green viny hair also looks human, but also somewhat like a beast. I wouldn't be surprised if I see a catgirl in the future.

The cat glares at me, menacingly. It never broke eye contact, never. I ignored it.

I didn't know what to do afterward, so I laid down and went back to sleep. After a while, when I woke up, I saw the sun setting outside the window.

Everything looks so beautiful. I look around the room, realizing how fancy everything is. Beside my crib is a giant double bed.

"Mhm..." I groaned as I stood up from my crib and I stretched my entire body. "Haaaa..."

I leaned forward to my crib and looked around the room, before backing up and looking down. Her ears twitched as if she was caught. Of course, I was caught too, but I shouldn't reveal much.
