I look around the room and see a sleeping Kara close by. I get up and start stretching, the popping was so loud it woke up Kara. "You're finally awake, I got so worried, what happened to make you mad?" Kara said in rapid secession while pulling me into a hug. I just pat her back, and think of a way to explain everything that happened. (*Scarlet you know you could just tell them a half truth.*) Sera said trying to help.
I start thinking about it, it's not that far-fetched. ("So just tell them, I remember a past life?") I ask getting confirmation from Sera. (*Yes it should work and it'll give you a way to work through what happened.*) Sera said with a voice filled with worry. ("I'm sorry I worried you so much Sera, I really didn't think it effected me that badly.") I said feeling sad that I got even Sera worried.
I let go of Kara and pullout a bottle of water and drink half of it. "That's better, Kara I think I need to talk to everyone." I said walking towards the door, I see a maid and ask her to gather everyone in the common room. I head there with Kara. "Don't worry everything will make sense soon." I said trying to comfort Kara. I open the new door and sit on a sofa.
Once everyone arrived I stood up and started to address them. "Thanks for gathering so fast, first I want to apologise for what happened." I said looking at everyone one present. Before anyone could reply I continue. "As for why it happened, well when I was five I started to remember things. Things that never happened in this life. I remember a life before this one, one where I died at the hands of my own father just for his beliefs. I died at eighteen years old, just because I loved another girl." I say as tears start pouring from my eyes, thinking of her smile.
"I didn't think it effected me as much as it did. I thought I didn't care, because I was born in a loving family. But when dad started to talk about the arranged marriage, it sparked something that was so deep I didn't even know was there. I thought it's going to happen again just like in my past life, but this time I had the power to stop it. I won't let anyone I care about be forced into anything. When I confronted Lord Phoenix and Riser, I was prepared for a fight, but when Riser spoke. I didn't know what to do, I had all this stuff pent up waiting for this and it ended like that. Then dad said about pure bloodlines and I thought he wouldn't except me, a girl who likes girls." I said head down not wanting to see the judging eyes of the people I care about most.
"And something inside me snapped, and you know the rest." I finish with my head still down. When I try to leave, someone pulled my arm. I look up and see Sirzechs. "Big brother I..." before i could finish he pulled me into a hug and I start crying. Sirzechs just rubs my back, telling me it's ok. What felt like hours later, I stop crying and look up at Sirzechs. "Thank you big brother." I said with a weak smile.
I turn around to dad, he is crying as well. "I'm sorry d..." And again I get pulled into a hug. "No I'm sorry I wasn't thinking about my children's happiness. I didn't know you remembered a past life, that must have been difficult." He said as I hug him back. I pull away and ask. "Has there been other people who have memories of a past life?" This time it was mum who answered. "Yes it's not that uncommon." She said with a soothing tone. I look at everyone, smile and say. "I'm still a little tired, so I'm going to go get some sleep."
