My name is or at least was Misaki. That was until I died on July 21st , the day before my sixteenth birthday. The minute before I died I made a wish. A wish that I would be born in another world. To live another life for the fact I wasn't able to live my old one because I was not living, only surviving.

"Is the young miss going to be alright?"

"I don't know, the doctor said that she should be fine"

"I hope so, His Grace will kill us if anything happens to the little princess"

I heard voices of people around me voicing all of their concerns. 'Young miss, little princess, who are they talking about?' Slowly I open my eyes and notice I'm in an unfamiliar place. No longer did I see the dull boring white room of the hospital but instead in a different room.

The rooms ceiling was painted as a night sky but I didn't recognize it from anything I've read. The stars were painted yellow, orange, red, green, blue, and purple. There were also two moons. Sitting up, I see three people who were also in the room with me. Two woman, one older one younger and a young male. Around the room was foreign objects I could not recognize but some I could see were similar to objects I knew of.

Then my head started to hurt and I suddenly knew what everything was. I also knew that I was now Astra. I am four years old and I found out my father was a duke. My mother hid the truth about who I really was until her death a few months back. I was sent to live with my father, his wife, and my older step brother, sister, and little brother when the carriage fell down a cliff. I knew then that Astra died and I took her place. Somehow she heard my wish and I now live in her body as herself.

It was then I realized I was in a different world!

'Please take care of my family,' a young soft voice whispers in my head.

'Are you Astra,' I whisper and realize our voices are exactly the same now.

'Yes, but now it is you, take care of my father and everyone else.' 

'But how did this happen?'   

  'You wished be be born a new life and I wished to have someone who will stay with my family for me.  Our wishes were heard and now we are as we are.'

'Alright , I'll take care of our family, thank you.'

'No, thank you Astra,' she gently whispers before her voice disappears.

"Young miss, your awake!" The young woman says in surprise. She was instantly by my side and before I realized it she was pushing me back down on the bed saying I'll reopen my wounds.

"Who are you," I ask quietly. 

"My name is Bella, young miss, I am to be your personal maid."  Saying this she instantly drops into a courtesy.  She looked to be in her early twenties and had a petite figure but was tall.  Her had long dark blue hair and light blue eyes.  She is very pretty.

The minute she does so the other two came over too and introduce themselves.

"I am the head maid, Berta."  The old woman says also giving one too but almost fell over because of her weight! But she instantly catches herself and finishes it.  She was very short but wore a friendly smile.  Her black hair already had grey strands of hair but her grey eyes sparkled with youth.

"Name's Seith little princess."  The man gives a light bow before standing back up.  He was handsome.  With his blond hair and clear blue eyes he must steal the hearts of many girls.

Suddenly he stepped forward and started to pay my head messing up my hair!  Before I could say anything Bella beat me to it. 

"Seith, how dare you touch the young miss!  You cannot treat her as a normal child!  She is the daughter of the duke!"  Bella shouts at him surprising me.  She looks like a gentle person so I never expected her to have such a loud voice.

"Bella we don't have much time, we have to get her ready since the duke will be here to meet Astra-sama in one hour," says Miss Berta.

"Alright fine, get out Seith, we are going to change young miss," says Bella pushing the young man out of the room.

In the next hour Miss Berta and Bella never let me see what I look like.  I did know however that I had wolf ears and tail which I am able to choose if I want the or not.  They were cool be since I was going to wear a dress I made them disappear.

Finally it was time for me to meet my new family.  Bella could tell that I was nervous but told me everything will be fine.  Taking a deep breathe I turn toward the doors that were beginning to open.  Finally the doors began to open and the sunlight came in blinding me so I was unable to see the figure that had opened it. 

"Astra," a deep males voice echoes off the walls of the mansion.

Suddenly what happened next shocked me.  The man...
