"... Well that's a first." the man said... oh wait. I meant God said. "What is? Me calling out your terrible attitude?" I asked sarcastically. "Well... I suppose there's that but... The book you're holding. It's something I gave your great grandmother. I'm surprised your family still held onto it." God said as he stared at my novel giving me a 'Let me take a look at it' kinda look.
I huffed and hid the book behind my back as I glared at him. "Hah. As if. This book was given to me by my mom. Plus. How would you have given it to my great grandma if you are 'God'?" I asked sarcastically with a smug grin. "I could send you to hell just for that blasphemy but out of the kindness of my heart and as a friend of your great grandmother, I'll let it go. As for your question..." God said as his words drifted off.
"I met your great grandmother while I was on Earth, I just wanted to check out your lifestyles. It was different than it was in heaven. I can't quite remember the timeline but... your great grandmother had a gift. A strong spiritual gift and a loving heart. She could sense and see me unlike all the other people. Faith during those days were low so I was surprised she was a strong believer.... Unlike you... she believed me when I told her I was God. She was so touched and revered me. I preferred when we were friends but I couldn't change that anymore. So as a farewell gift, I gifted her that book. It was based on a story we came up with together. She really loved romance stories as well." God said as he smiled softly.
He then looked at me with his sharp gaze as he grinned mischievously. "Hence. I'll send you to that world as a punishment. I've blessed you with some gifts so do help the people there. That, is how I want YOU to repent." God said as the world suddenly grew into a blinding white.
As I came to, I felt my head throbbing with a dull pain. I groaned as I tried to climb out of bed, only to trip and fall onto the floor face first. "Ouch! What the heck! Why is this blan-... huh?" screamed a high pitched voice. I turned towards my bed only to find my usually dark room with a single sized bed with plain bed sheets to be a King sized bed with a canopy, covered with a silk duvet and bed sheets. I looked around the room confused and found it to be decorated in a medieval fashion design and searched for a familiar sight, only to give up in the end until I spotted a mirror across the room.
I sprinted towards it but fell again. "Ugh! Why the heck do I keep falling?!" I muttered impatiently as I pushed myself up, only noticing something off about my hands. They weren't my rough, dry hands that typed all day in the office on my keyboard. It was a small chubby hand of a kid. If I were to make a rough estimate, a child around 5 to 6 years old. But how...?
A flashback of what 'God' said to me crossed my mind. "I'll send you to that world as a punishment." God said as his words echoed in my head. I sat in silence for a moment as I pondered his sentence. "Well... I guess being reborn as the heroine is no biggie. Hahah. At least my life here would be easy sailing." I grinned before I heard thunderous footsteps charging towards my room.
"Young Miss! Young Miss Lily! Are you alright?!" the sound of a woman's voice echoed from the hallway in a ragged manner as she called out to me. Huh... Wait... Isn't the heroine called Delia? Wait... it can't be... Seriously?! I thought as I rushed towards the mirror.
In front of the mirror stood a young girl with shoulder length wavy brownish orange hair and a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes. ... There's no mistaking it... I'm... the villainous... Seriously? My punishment is THIS?! In a rage of fit I screamed, at the top of my voice as I felt the hot tears stream down my face. Pairs of concerned hands wrapped around my body in an attempt to comfort me as I noticed out of the corner of my eyes the maids and butlers frantically running about trying to stop me from crying and screaming. Well... maybe more on the screaming part.
