CHAPTER: 1

"Beautiful creature cannot be confined. Her wings will grow, she will find the sky."

"Nothing is impossible as long as you have faith. Faith is all that matters",

The old woman whispered looking on the bird sitting on the branch of the tree,

"Your Past, present, and your future are all connected with each other. Changing your past will eventually change your future."

She stood up and looked at my face,

"All we need is a chance to go back in the past and fix everything. This is your chance to get all the answers to your questions and to fix your life. Try it and have faith."

She passed me a piece of cloth. There was a capsule-shaped pill in it.

It was a dull shade of purple.

"Take this pill and you will get a chance to go back to your past. It will take you the time where this all started. Make wise decisions this time and do not trust anyone."

I looked at her in disbelief.

"Remember, You can change the destiny but you can't save anyone from death. They would die at the end. Maybe with a different cause."

Everything she said, horrified the hell out of me.

I wanted to run away.

But then I realized that I am helpless.

Nothing is in my hand.

I can take the risk because I don't have anything to lose.

My hand was trembling.

I looked at the pill then at the sky and took the pill.

I felt a pain in my head.

My vision started getting blur.

I heard a voice saying

*Strong faith can do wonders*

....................................................................

I felt it really hard to completely open my eyes as the light was so bright.

I could hear some sounds coming from a distance but the sounds weren't clear enough.

The sound was coming closer and closer and then my eyes flashed open.

I could see my niece Flora sitting on my bed near me, holding a cake having 2 candles on the top.

She was singing a birthday song for me. I looked up and my eyes met with Sophia's, My elder sister, who was standing with her arms crossed.

Her husband was also standing near her.

"Hey, so how is the surprise? Do you like it?", The voice came from a corner of the room.

It was my younger sister who was holding a camera in her hand, probably recording us.

Suddenly it popped up in my mind that they were celebrating my 18th birthday.

"Make a wish and blow the candles, Darling", Sophia's voice brought me back from my thoughts.

"What are you waiting for Clara?" Flora asked to which I shook my head, caressing her cheeks.

I looked at the smiling faces of my family and a tear escaped my eye.

I looked at the cake and the eighteen shaped candles.

"May we all live happily ever after" I wished in my heart blowing the candles.

Flora started clapping, jumping up and down.

......................................................................

I was sitting on the bed. Everyone left after wishing me and giving me gifts.

But here I was still thinking about that dream.

Who was that old woman and what was she talking about?

She looked very familiar.

Come on Clara, it was just a dream. Maybe I should share it with Sophia

"Make wise decisions this time and do not trust anyone."

The voice of that old woman echoed in my mind.

Damnnn!!

This dream is getting on my nerves.

I think I just need a good sleep.

Today is also the first day of my college and I don't want to be late on my very first day.

I tried to push all the thoughts to the back of my mind and banged my head on the pillow.
