12+1 Lives

Chapter 1 I Have How Many Past Lives

I wake up in a bedroom that is unfamiliar to me but looks like a room fit for nobility with a fancy bed, antique furniture, and old fashioned floral wall paper. I then look in a mirror and see that I am wearing what looks like a school uniform made up of a white blouse with a light tye, blue jacket with fancy sleeves and buttons, and a navy blue plaid skirt. I am also wearing knee high white socks and blue ballet flats. And my long dark brown hair is styled in pig tails with light blue ribbons.

I that say, "What am I wearing? It looks like a school uniform for some fancy private school". A man with blonde hair and glasses in a blue and white suit holding a clipboard then walks in to the room and says, "It's nice to see that you're finally awake Anastasia". I then throw a pillow at him and ask him angrily, "Who are you? And where in the world am I?" He says with a surprised face, "Don't you remember me Anastasia?" I then say angrily, "What are you talking about? I have never met you once in my life".

He says, "Well not in this lifetime, but in your second past life as Hatshepsut, Women Pharaoh of all of Egypt. I was your royal architect Senenmut, although my name in this life time is Theodor Arch". I then get suspicious and throw another pillow at him before saying angrily, "What do you take me for, an idiot? That is the worst pick up line I have ever heard. I may be clumsy and get average level grades, but I'm not stupid enough to fall for a lie like that".

A girl with brown hair and brown eyes in the same school uniform then walks and asks, "What is with all the racket Theo? I thought you were just welcoming the new student". She then notices me and says, "Oh welcome to Recarnia Academy, a school for those who were historical and famous people in their past lives". I calm down and say, "Thanks for telling me where I am, but why am I here? I'm just ordinary everyday girl from a working class family".

She says, "I heard that you were brought here by force because you apparently have 12 past lives, which were all of famous and historically significant people both male and female". I am surprised and says, "They must have made a mistake because this is my first time hearing about this and I don't remember anything from these supposed past lives they think I have". I then take a good look at her and realizes she does look familiar to me.
A flashback of her but older and dressed in medieval clothes pops into my head. I say, "Anne Hathaway", and her face lights up happily and she giggles. She says, "Yes, you're correct, I am Anne Hathaway, your wife from your tenth life, William Shakespeare. But in this life, my name is Azure Blue". I then say, "Just an image of you dressed in medieval clothes and the name Anne Hathaway".

Azure says, "Well the first step to remembering your past lives is to gain some flash backs by meeting people who are reincarnations of people who were close to you in your past life". I say, "I get what you're saying might be true but why did they bring me here by force, couldn't they just ask me in person".

She says, "They did try to ask your parents first but your parents refused the offer saying it was just some scam, so that left them with only one choice, to kidnap you and bring you here by force, as Recarnia Academy is on Recarnia island, which is in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, so your parents have no jurisdiction here". I say, "Well it kinda makes since in a weird and very odd sort of way I guess". She says, "Good then you understand, so we should get to class before 9 or else we will be late", and grabs my hand and runs as fast as she can to class.

I stand in front of the class and say, "Hello my name is Anastasia Xīnshēng, and I am told have 12 past lives. It is very nice to meet you all and I hope we can all be friends". The teacher, who is a 25 year old man with red hair in a ponytail and green eyes wearing a white dress shirt with long puffy sleeves and black pants, says, "Could please go sit down at your desk now darling, it is the one in the front top fight hand corner".

I say, "Ok", and am about to head to my desk when I realize something that he said was weird. I then ask him, "Did you just call me darling?" and he replies, "Yes I did, so what, we were lovers in your 6th past life as Cleopatra, Queen of all of Egypt". I freak out and say, "What are you talking about teach?" He smiles and says, "Why I was Mark Anthony, your lover from when you were Cleopatra. But in this life my name is Jake Train".

I then get flash back of myself at a party with servants dressed as mermaids and cupid and Mr. Train dressed as ancient roman. Train asks, "So did you just have a flash back to when we first met at that party you held in my honor". I then say, "This can't be happening", and faint from the shock of everything.
