CHAPTER 1

...******PAST*******...

"Duke, may we request to your family to stay inside of your premises"

what is going on? it's very noisy, where am i? why is it so dark in here? Father? Mother? where am i?

"Get off me! do you know what are you doing?! why are taking my daughter! let her go! she didn't do what you have said! release her right this instant!"

I heard my father's voice he is angry, very angry and i heard my mother, she is crying, but why? can somebody tell me what's going on? why does i feel pain all over my body?

"Duke, We apologize, but this is a serious crime, we already have enough evidence that your daughter committed a serious crime, if you don't cooperate we have no choice but to use force"

No! stop! what crime are you talking about?! don't touch my mother and father, wait does he meant that i committed a serious crime? but what crime? i have know nothing about this! wait where's eli?

...wait... I don't know how long have i been unconscious but I remembered that someone was following us and i felt an murder intent then eli told me to hide then i saw that there are men and that they killed eli! NO! no! eli! after they killed eli, someone found out where i was hiding and he pulled my hair and drag me out then pushed me on the ground , there are five of them, then i heard that they mention a certain "Lady" while talking to each other, but i do not know who was it, they didn't even altered her name, who was the one behind all of this? I want to run and run as fast as i could, I was scared and i want to cry and just grab someone arms but until then one of them touch me and without knowing all of a sudden they raped me and then it continues until they are satisfied, each one of them did that to me, this is a terrible and horrible nightmare, I want to go home with my Father and Mother and with my Older brothers, I don't want this! I don't want this, I DON'T WANT THIS!!!, I was screaming for help, but no one could come and save me. I was thinking is this the end of my life? why does this have to happened to me? why do they have to kill my friend? why do they need to do this to me?! i'm sorry eli that i couldn't protect you, i couldn't run because i didn't want to leave you, but look I am right now, I am useless and powerless. I'm sorry.

"Mother...Father please calm down, I, too wouldn't believe that sister could be capable of doing such things how sad. 'smirk'"

"oh~kiara I'm still worried"

what? what are you talking about? Kiara? what nonsense are you talking about?! where are you taking me? after that, i lost conscious again, the moment that i woke up, i was already inside of a cell that is dark and no light can reach I'm scared where am i?, my hands are cuffed and i feel so much pain all over my body as if i was near to death. I smelled the stains of blood, is it my blood? Oh God can someone help?

"oh my~ look at you my precious dear sister"

that voice? who was it? it is a woman's voice but who are you? i cannot see clearly.

"you look so pathetic, my precious dear sister, Aggy"

that voice, i wonder who was it but the moment i look up it was an unexpected visitor it was... Kiara!

"you...kiara?...what are you doing here?"

"pfft!..."

she laughed so hard, what's so funny? did i say anything funny to make you laugh that hard? and what do you mean that i look pathetic? wait, did you? I realized something, that this could be-!

"late to notice? dear sister? looking at your awful face it seems that you figured it out, that the reason why you are there, the reason why your dearest friend eli got killed, the reason that you got raped by those men and the reason why your hands are tied up in this cell was all because of me, Suprise~!"

"wha-!"

I couldn't contain my emotion, I am dumbfounded, did i hear it right? she was the reason why eli got killed, she was the reason why those men raped me and she was the reason why I am here?... to what she had said, that this was her planned, all along?! when? how? WHY?... my vision is blurry, Am i going to die like this?

"poor you~...do you know what you look like right now?"

"why?..."

"hm? 'why?' you say? pfft!...HAHAHAHA 'laugh'...oh my~ precious dear sister,how funny what a pathetic question to asked, isn't simple? because I WANT EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE"

you...want...everthing? what are you talking about?

"everything you owed is mine now, everybody you love and loves you is mine NOW! older brother, second older brother, mother and father and the position of the young lady of the Hermosillio ... everything you have is MINE now!!! and you don't have anything to do about it, everything is according to my plan-!"

"since when?"

"since the beginning~, your family are so pathetic and dumb to took me without knowing who am i and where i from, 'sigh' but let me tell you this, since you are going to die, better to tell you everything besides 'a dead man tells no tales' ...let me introduce myself, I, Kiara Ginger tis' I gave you nightmares! Oh by the way, for your information there are nobles that would help me rise to the top, those nobles are my tools, you see, the reason? Simply because, I want the position of Empress, I want power and in order to do that I must execute you since you will be engaged to the crown prince. "

What? what did she said?

" you know what, Aggy, you were so lucky to be engaged to the crown prince, did you know that I loved the prince, you should know that because I always tells you 'that' every night and day , how I am deeply in love with the prince, but in order to make the prince fall in love with me, I need to execute you, you see I want power and the only one who sits in the throne are those who have power and you were so lucky that you have it all, but I won't allow you to have everything. Everything you have is mine! -!"

everything she said I cannot sink it properly into my head as if it's a bell is continuously ringing into my head. This is .... my fate? Wasn't my fault that you're very greedy person? a pretentious snake? I guess it is my fault to not notice what kind person you are...I don't know what to do....help me older brother, second older brother, mother, father.... Can someone help me?...my vision is turning blurred, i don't want to sleep yet, I want to stay.

"if i were you, just die in here, where no one finds you and hear you, no one will come to save you... bye my precious dear sister,Aggy, sleep well and let me be the one to take your position and don't worry, after I used the duke and duchess, I'll let them join you, even your precious older brothers 'smirk' sweet dreams , Aggy~ "

no...

NO!!!

Somebody please! hear me! i don't want to end things like this! i need to save my family! I didn't live a life to be treated like this, I didn't help her to abandoned like this I didn't want to end things like this, somebody! please! I WANT TO LIVE MORE!

I DON'T WANT TO END THINGS LIKE THIS!!!!!

HEAR ME!!!!

I am floating in this vast space which I don't know, but the moment my visiom turned black awhile ago, there was a warm light that shine to me and I heard somebody was calling me. It repeatedly calling my name with warm tone, who are you? where are you?

'My child, Change what it has to be change, the burning desire at you heart will let you lead to a path that no one can ever change, wake up my child and sing a song to me once again, Sing, and let your worries flee.'

"who are you? speak your name"

'when the time comes, you, once again, be able to speak my name , for you, are the chosen one'

what does it means? that I am the 'chosen one'

'Now wake up, be the firing blessings shower upon you'

'Wait! wait a minute what do you mean wake up, I am already dead! wait! don't leave me.'

I reach out my hands but all that I see was only a translucent light, a very bright light and continuously shining until it covers my whole body, until i woke up....

...******PRESENT******...

'GASP'!

wait, what? what just happened?

am i?...am i dead?

where is this?

wait is this my bed?

I remember the ceiling of my bed it was carve of the legendary guardian that give blessings to our family throughout the generation, but why am i here? and why does it i feel so strange, wait a minute! I Stretched out my hand as if i was reaching the ceiling and i noticed that my hands are kinda small unlike the usual size of my hands, I'm ridiculously thinking that I was turn back into a kid or something. Funny to think, but it is impossible, then I heard someone knocking at my door, I heard Eli's voice, it can't be, no, it can't be!

"oh my~ Good Morning, you finally awake, my lady" it is eli!!! how it could be? I thought that she got killed by those men.

"Eli...?" I couldn't believe what I'm seeing right, is she really eli? the eli that i know? she is alive, she's here. Eli was my Lady-in-waiting, before she served me, she is my childhood friend, we grew up together because her mother was my mother's Lady-in-waiting, she always there whenever i need her, she always protected me on whatever harm comes to me, even after that nightmare, that night that she got killed and that unforgettable night that i was accused by a serious crime that i haven't even committed...wait is this a dream? why does i feel that i'm kinda different than the usual? I am dumbfounded, i was staring at eli as if any minute that i will bursts into tears.

"Yes, my lady? is there something wrong with my face?"

Eli reach out her hands to me and touch my cheeks and then I felt her warmth I felt that tears run down into my cheeks , she was shock when she saw me crying asking if I'm alright, I couldn't feel any better to see her right here infront of me alive and kicking and I want to say sorry that I let her die in vain, because of me she died that night, i cannot believe this, I was in shocked all of a sudden, I fell on the bed and I was suprised to see myself in the mirror as if i was dreaming, the words that comes out to my mouth was...

"AHHHHHH!!!!!WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME?!" I screamed.

is this a dream?! how?! why did i turn back into 16 years old version of myself? am i supposed to be dead by now?! i was so shock to see myself go back in time.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHAT IN THE HEAVEN'S-!

"Eli..."

"Yes, my lady? did you have nightmares your face look so pale right now?"

"Eli...is this a dream?"

"what are you talkin-!" I faced eli and then I grabbed her arms, I am in a complicated situation, I don't understand anything at all!

"you didn't die? or Was i supposed to say you're not dead, right?"

"do you want me to call Doctor Fritz? My Lady?"

"eli! I'm glad that you are alive!" I hugged her so tight

"uhmm... are you the sweetest? My Lady and yes, I am alive" she carelessly touch my head then all of a sudden I felt a very painful smack into my head after all, eli just smacked me, ME!! the lady of the house!!! can you believe that?!

"what did you do that for?! Eli" I was in great pain right now, I totally forgot that Eli is a sadistic type of person.

"if you think that I will be fooled by you again, not a chance, my lady. You have to attend lessons and social gatherings this day for you to prepare in you coming-of-age ceremony and there are tons of waiting for you, so let's prepare you for today, My lady, ~what a great day to start, right My lady? 'Evil's smile'"
