Reincarnated into an Otome game?! As a Heroine, Capture Target, and Villainess?!

Chapter 3: Arabella DeMar

{Coral's POV}

Life is cruel. Although it is, I'm accepting what has happened to me...

There is a black abyss surrounding me. I could neither see nor hear.

I guess I died. I would assume that the others died too...
I should have watched over them, than having myself idle in my thoughts.
Afterall, I was the oldest one out of all of us.
The eldest has the responsibility of watching the younger ones.

I was born as the only child in my family, so I was envious of those that had siblings, but I didn't have to any longer, as I had met both Alysia and Mira.
Being with them made me feel as if I had siblings that needed to be looked over for. In short, I felt like a big sister.

I might never see them again...
Please... someone... hear my plea, I just want to see them both again.

I prayed as hard as I can with my mind. Although I don't believe in something like a God, I want to believe in the fact that maybe a miracle could happen to let me see them both again.

As if hearing my pleas, something did happen. Something that I did not expect to happen.

I was being pulled out from the black abyss and was gently lifted or so it felt like...

"How's my baby, healer?!"

"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl!"

Sighs of relief can be heard.

It seems that this can be called being 'reincarnated'? But I'm glad... there still might be a chance that I might be able to see them again...
I should focus more and learn about this place that I've been reincarnated into. That way, it might be easier to find them again.

I opened my eyes to see a person that was holding me. A woman in her old age wearing white garbs. She's a healer, it seemed from the shouts that I heard from before. Almost suddenly, she screamed when my eyes met hers. Her eyes were filled with shock and fright.

"Oh my word! She has golden eyes! When she grows up, she'll definitely have an immense amount of magic power inside her! Or maybe even now, she has powers within her!"

"Healer, can you be mistaken about something? I'm sure that we're just a normal family with no magic power in our veins, so how can a child of ours have a different aptitude than us?"

I heard a man speak from across the room. I turned my head to look at him. He had no remarkable features about him. He just had brown hair and brown eyes. The same thing goes for the woman that was resting on the bed, tired from the pregnancy. She also had brown hair and I'm sure she had the same colored brown eyes too, as the man. As he said, they were indeed a normal looking family. I was the one not normal...

"Richard, she's our own flesh and blood. No matter if she has magic powers or not, she's still my child. If you have a problem with that, then you can just leave."

Hearing the woman speak, he backed off, but didn't leave. He had accepted the fact that I was his child.

I heard the woman speak tiredly from the bed. Hearing such words made my heart feel warm...

I'm sorry... Mom...Dad... that I died, but I'll try to live out my life in this world from now on... With a new caring mother and an awkward father... I'm sure things will go all right...

The healer then gave me to my new mother and had given some stuff to her. She then said some parting words before she left.

"Be warned of her magic powers, it would be better to keep her hidden from sight and to seal her magic powers. The stuff that I gave to you, can keep her magic sealed and hide her powers away, but in 14 years, the seal will break and all will go loose. Or if her magic powers expanded, then her power can easily break the seal, making her free and having reign of the power inside her."

She spoke in a serious tone, but within her tone, I heard a bit of disgust...?

"Don't worry healer, I will raise her up properly and never will she have to use her magic powers. If she does... I can't imagine what would happen..."

My mother replied to the healer.

Once the healer left, she then looked at me.

"She really does have golden eyes..."

She had whispered quietly to herself, but doesn't seem to know that I can understand her fully, as she thinks I am just a baby.

"Your name shall be Arabella DeMar, you are now a part of this family and will forever be..."

Maybe it was just me, but I heard a bit of sadness while she was speaking.

"Lena, if we want to hide this child, then we should leave tomorrow. I know a friend that has a small cottage in the woods where no one rarely visits. It's also kind of close to a small town where we can get supplies."

"You're right, we should leave tomorrow..."

She started to sing a soft lullaby, making me quickly fall asleep.

"Goodnight Arabella, have sweet dreams..."
