Reincarnation

Chapter 4

“Wait what???” I practically scream out. Though I had managed to contain myself… well for the most part anyway. We had sat down at and they had explained why they had been posing as officers. I calm myself as I lean back in the chair, I was sitting in. I place my hands in my lap as I relax my form.

“So, let me get this straight, your part of an organisation that’s goal is find people with a special gene that allows them to use… magic I guess and then train them with certain spells depending on their aura, which are usually based on the elements or a random set such as telekinesis. Have I got this right and you suspect either I have this gene, or the murderer did?” I sum up. I knew I had some form of magic thanks to my continual reincarnation, but I didn’t think this. I managed to sum up effectively, I think.
“Wow you managed to take in and process all that information effectively,” muttered Asahi seemingly staring off into the distance. His attention snapped back on me within a second. “You have an aura, but I can’t read it and I pride myself on it as my ability is to read and manipulate auras,” he spoke in a way that made me truly convinced he was only in his early twenties. I can understand why he couldn’t read my aura as well mine I guess would be a bit different, maybe. I don’t exactly feel like telling them especially since they wouldn’t believe me even with magic existing.
My mind flashed back to one of my early reincarnations either my third or fourth. My blood was pulsing, my head pounding. My heart was pumping in my ears while my eyes drained themselves of my tears. A headache was now pulsing throughout my head echoing and ringing. I could feel my bare feet as they wore themselves out. I watch my surroundings slowly and subtly change into the deep of the forest from the foreign light brush of trees that laced the hills of the country side. I continued to sprint, hoping like mad for my life. I had told someone, I had told someone. Don’t get involved with the wrong people well I did but they weren’t until they knew. I refused to stop I wouldn’t give in.
A sound started to be heard in the distants. I couldn’t make it out at first but as I drew ever nearer it became clear at once… water. Rushing water, was it a creek or a river… the ocean. WE’RE in the middle of the continent, Stop being ridiculous, I reasoned with myself. Wow, why would I even think that.
I eventually saw the creek through the thick oak trees that seemed to dwell on for miles. I sped up at the sight becoming incredibly glad at the view. My bare feet shooting daggers of pain through my body in short pulses every time they hit the hard dirt that had patches of minuscule rocks. I kept my pace slowly reaching the much longed for creek. Once I had finally reached the creek, I stopped, relaxing my state. I looked around and spotted a flat rock, sitting just on the edge of the creek bed lifting itself above the water by about 30 centimetres.
I shifted myself towards the rock for a long-deserved rest, I was exhausted. I made my way towards the rock decreasing the distants between us with each step. I heisted my body onto it. Flinching at the cold surfaces but calmed down again. I flipped my legs around to be on the edge of the rock. My toes relaxing at the cool water.
My rugged, burned out, now blistering feet numbing themselves as I relax almost falling asleep. I felt a sharp stinging in my side. My eyes began to droop, as I fought the battle to stay awake with every bone in my body. Unfortunately the longer I fought the more my body gave in, as my limbs now becoming limp. My eyes would shut for a second then I would struggle to open them again. They shut but I couldn’t open them again but this time they shut for the last time. I started freaking out. As my wavering breath came to meet a slow pace. I felt like I drifted into sleep. Something was wrong but I couldn’t grasp it. What if it killed me? No… this isn’t like my other reincarnations. I push the thought down, but what if this is my final death. Is this what death is? I wonder if I’m dead, if I am how bored must those who died way before me feel. Bloody hell... why me! I forced my eyes open. I saw a man. Red stained his coat which was a maroon or was. I faded unconscious again. I started shaking violently. I was pancaking. I shot my eyes open and jumped out of my seat.

I looked around the room realising that I was safe. I physically relaxed my posture. Calming down I glanced around the room. I focused on them the first man which name I still had to learn was tense and nervous while Asahi was panicking. I calmed down taking a step back as I moved to stand up right previously having been slouched. My eyes land on the first man just in time to see him relax. My hands go into the air in surrender to show I was fine.
“I’m fine… just,” I begin “Just had a memory come up,”.
“What was it about?” the other officer inquired, Asahi eyed me curiously.

“One of the many reasons I’m here,"
