The Last Novel

CHAPTER 6

My mind that was thinking about my past from the other world got disrupted when a little bird suddenly landed on my head, which I'm glad, at least it didn't land a shit on me.

I've been sitting on the bench for a while now, the sun still hasn't risen yet, maybe I calculated the time wrong. A smile showed up on my face when I realized that I can still rest for more or explore for a while.

I choose the latter. I decided to stand up from the bench under the tree and went towards the woods. It's only beside the mansion we're now living in. I've never been inside the woods for over four months that I've been here. I've never had the chance to since I have to make sure that we'll live for about a year and eight months. The only source of food and money the original Arabella and the male lead Blaine have, was their fresh crops that everyone in the town was always waiting for.

Arabella does love planting and because of her knowledge about planting and passion, her vegetables and fruits always get sold out the moment she steps into the town to sell it. But, when Blaine got taken by the knights of the Vresea estate, her crops didn't taste and never had the same freshness it had when Blaine was still with her. Turns out, Blaine was blessed by fairies the moment he was born. Her mother was half fairy and human. Three fairies bestowed him a gift, the gift of blessed hands, the protection spell, and happiness forever. Arabella quickly lost all the money she got from the Vresea estate because of being addicted to gambling. She got drowned in debt and went towards the capital to get money from Blaine and also to ask a position in the Vresea estate.

I sigh when I recall the novel I created from the past. I felt like I'm the worst writer for making their lives complicated in a novel. Maybe if I didn't get inside this novel and possess 'Arabella Maguire's body, I won't feel guilty like this.

My steps towards inside the woods, makes the withered leaves make a rustling sound. All the birds in these woods look like they are all awake, and also that one bird, that's still not leaving my head until now.

"You know little tweety bird, you should get down from there." From my words, the bird just made a little movement and just remained settled on my head. I just let out a sigh and kept on walking inside the woods. Although the sun hasn't risen yet, the moonlight is enough for me to see the way.

"Oh, you hear that little bird?" I stopped walking to make sure and confirm what I heard. That's it! Water! Hearing the gentle and pleasant sound of water, as it moves along the river, makes me excited and fasten my pace.

My little adoptive son Blaine kept on asking me for the past four weeks to join him to go to the river inside the woods. Although I wanted to, I can't. Since I had to keep on working and working inside the mansion and take care of the animals here and yeah the crops as well. Blaine being the male lead in this story makes me feel at ease to let him go deep into the woods and swim in the river since the male lead in this novel won't die. I should worry about myself because if I'm not careful I will die. A side character like me who's not that significant to the story can die anytime and in any way.

My eyes sparkled the moment I saw the river.

"It's beautiful," I muttered as I roam my eyes around the river. Its sparkling water gets me excited and it seems like the river is alive and it's telling me to come over and enjoy myself.

"I should've listened to Blaine when he told me about this majestic river." I was about to continue walking when I felt the sudden movement of the bird that's on my head.

The little bird on my head suddenly flew away towards the big tree near the river.

"Looks like this bird doesn't like water anyway let's go Arabella and freshen up ourselves." A strong wind pass by as I walk, and it did stop me from walking since it felt nice to my skin and I took a deep breath as a smile spread across my lips. What a paradise!
