"Because you're her, and she's you. You're her reincarnation."

I stared at him dumbfounded. Reincarnation? I'm her and she's me, so we're the same person? A hurricane of questions quickly jumbled my mind. How is this even possible? Sure, there was once upon a time in my life where I enjoyed fantasy stories but this... this is not what I expected. Was I supposed to feel happy? I didn't know how to react to this. Does this mean my whole life purpose was to be his?! My mind was clouded with confusion but winds of anger formed an tsunami. No! Maybe her purpose was to be his but mine is different, I will not submit to him. I am not her, nor will I ever be her.

"No." I blurted.

He looked at me questioningly raising a brow, unable to tell what I said no to.

"I might have been her, but that's the thing, have is a past tense. Which means I am not her," I looked him dead in the eye, "I am Kiara not Anastasia, and I'm most certainly not yours."

"I know but-"

"No, without this bond would you still look at me with your love?" I interrupted him asking with a blank expression.

He's only with me because of that bond, nothing more and nothing less. After all, if I wasn't her reincarnation would he have even bother with me?

"That's why I want to spend a year, just one year with you. After that year ends, if you don't feel anything towards me you are free to leave." He smiled with a tint of hope? How ridiculous.

I sighed and looked around. I was in some strange building, it was similar to a balcony and a gazebo however this one was made out of bricks and it didn't have a fence or whatever you call it. I was a foot away from falling down, I think if I took one more step I'd fall down and die. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of it, what would happen if I fell? Would I be free from this place, free from him? Shrugging those negative thoughts away I instead observed the scenery. It was sad, everything I looked at was sad, lonely, and it made me feel pity towards it. If all these plants came to life I'm sure it would've been extraordinary.

"They died, when she did."

I didn't respond.

He sighed, "Kiara, I know this isn't what you expected, but I'd rather tell you now the you finding it out on your own."

I could feel his gaze on me and despite a part of me wanting to look at him I ignored it, I want to ignore him. I was thankful but angry, I couldn't understand what I was feeling so how can he?
