"Master, I had brought her." Said the one who was carrying Carla.
Carla looked at the person who carried her. It's a voice like a woman, and thanks to the moonlight, somehow she can see who it is. However, she had never seen her before.
She looked pretty and mysterious. She looks like a noblewoman. But her dress tells different, it's a maid fluffy dress.
"Good." The Master said.
Carla looked at the Master of the maid. She was astonished.
The moonlight spotted her being, hence she can see her very well. It might also because of the moonlight but her beauty was out of the ordinary.
Black long hair, thick eyebrows but it didn't hinder her beautiful round eyes added with puffy cheeks. This Master is wearing a white short sleeve bouffant nightdress that made her look like a fairy princess in the forest.
Carla forgot that she just got kidnapped right now.
She was also shocked that she didn't notice that she was being carried by this beautiful Master to her embrace.
"Hello Carla, long time no see." The Master said in a nice and charming voice.
Carla was brought by reality when the master spoke, 'long time no see'?
She didn't remember she had met this person in the past life? Is it because they met when she was just 1 to 5 months? How could she remember those?
The Master laughed softly, "We didn't meet in this lifetime. But I know you turned back the time."
Carla was stupefied. The Master can hear her thoughts? And, and, she knew the time turned back?! What did she mean by she did? This person is not a normal one. Who is this?
"I'm an Enchantrix who can make and use enchanted powers. I'm from city Z but we're secluded, thus, not everyone knows about us nor what we can do. Even the government in city Z doesn't know our existence too. You can call me Enchantress for now." The master explained.
'Enchantress? It suits her, she enchanted me with her beauty!' Carla thought.
"Pft, thank you. Well, I took you for a while out here to make a deal." The Enchantress said.
Carla just looked at her and waited.
"You did turn back the time. And you couldn't if you didn't pull the trigger in your past life. I can't tell you yet the details about it but I can give you a deal that you would need to survive." The Enchantress explained.
Survive? How did she know I need to?
The Enchantress ignored that question in her mind and continued, "Here is the deal, I will give you a special gift, and if you are satisfied with it you can keep it. But in exchange, you'll give me your life at the age of 25. I won't kill you, but you'll work for me for eternity. You must leave your life here and leave the people that hold you here."
Carla was confused. For eternity? Doesn't mean she won't die but will be the Enchantress servant or what? Leave? She doesn't even know if she'll survive after 21!
"You're right, there is no telling if you'll survive yet. No matter how much you knew the future, right now, you're just a baby, you can't change anything. And before you could do something about it, you only have one path but doom." The Enchantress smiled.
"Before I came here, I looked through what happened to you in the past life. I knew the whole events, from the beginning till the end." She added.
She.. knew. Nevertheless, Carla wasn't as shocked as before after learning that the person in front of her is a magical being.
And Carla also knew what she said is true. Just as her younger brother was born, everything started. The wicked family's evil deeds started. She wasn't even a kid yet when that would happen.
But she was reluctant to agree, if ever she survived, in the end, she had to leave her loved ones and follow this person.
"You don't have to decide now." The Enchantress carried her back to the maid. She touched Carla's left hand and put a mark. "When you need it, it will be activated, when you use it, the deal is on."
Carla was stunned. Her mind wasn't working right. But suddenly, she yawned and closed her eyes slowly.
The two were stunned.
"She... fell asleep." The maid's remarks.
"Hm. Bring her back. It's pretty late for a baby. I've already told her what we came here for." The Enchantress said.
"Master, didn't the deal was on, the moment she turned back the time?" The maid asked.
But she was ignored. The Enchantress turned her back from her and walked. Therefore, she didn't ask anymore and brought back Carla to her room.
When the Enchantress felt that the maid was gone, she picked up her phone and continue to watch a show.
It was not because she didn't want to answer her question, rather she was lazy to do so. Her job is done when she summarized the important parts to Carla, she doesn't want to be disturbed more.
Because she was watching her favorite show... Detective Conan.
The next day, Carla woke up late at 10 am. She didn't make any noise. She still remembered what happened last night and their talk.
She looked at her left hand, she can see barely the leaf mark that almost the same color as her skin. It can't be noticed easily if you didn't look at it for a long time.
'Damn this baby body. I can't ask her anything! It might be a trick since I turned back the time. She might just want to use me.'
'But, I think she knows me or my magic if ever I have. Still, except for that turning back the time one time without me knowing how, nothing else is magical.'
'Ahh! This thinking made me hungry! Mama!'
"Uwahh" She cried for food.
