"Kairan: Surviving in the Modern World" CHAPTER 3
"You mean I'll be living in someone else's body and continue her life? And I will no longer be a Princess and my name will no longer be Kairan De Falcon? And I won't be able to see my friends? I will be living a new and different life?"
"I'm afraid that the answer is yes"
He lowered his head again and apologized.
But in my situation now it doesn't matter. All that matters to me is to survive.
"What will happen to me if I regain my consciousness?"
"You don't have to worry about that, everything was plan on purpose besides that body is yours from the beginning"
"Can you give me some tips on how I can live in a world that I've never experienced before?"
I said in a low voice I have too many questions on my mind right now but I don't have enough time for that.
"You don't have to worry about that too, I'll be by your side but for the meantime we won't be able to meet,"
"Why?"
"I have things need take care to off"
It seems like he is a busy creature despite being dethroned as a Demigod, well~ that can't be helped.
For now let's think about most necessary things and ask later.
"Now explain how I can regain my consciousness"
He nodded and explained everything one by one.
----
"Then now, I'll be waiting for you, in the meantime follow what I said"
He said and slowly disappeared, and now I am alone again in this darkness and emptiness, Silvestre said that this was the feelings of the previous owner of this body. Now I am wondering if we are both neglected by our own parents. This sadness and sorrow is too deep to the point that even me gets affected.
I lie down and position my hands above my belly and put my finger tips together, relaxing my body by putting all the pressure on the ground. When I feel that my body is relaxed enough I start inhaling from my nose and exhale to my mouth. At first it's hard because it's different from normal breathing in daily life. I focus myself not to breathe too much. The time I do it in a normal way I feel more relaxed. My mind now is between sleeping and concentrating. It feels like dreaming in a dream world while thinking about what I need to do.
I wait and stay focused when I suddenly sense that there is a source of light but it immediately disappears when I lose my focus on being relaxed and start to feel happy. Silvestre said that it may take days or weeks before I can open my eyes. I must focus again and restrain myself on being happy or too excited. I need to calm myself.
Wait--- I- I can feel the heartbeat on my fingertips! And not too long I sense the light again. 'FOCUS! DON'T BE TOO EXCITED MORON! Calm down and keep breathing.'
Now! I can feel the warmth of my body, I can even move my fingers slightly. The soul of mine and the body that I use as a vessel are now finally one. I did it! The step one on Operation-Surviving-in-this-unknown-world finally COMPLETED.
For some reason when my soul and the body combine I can feel pain, did this body get involved in an accident? Particularly on the right side of this body but the pain is bearable, but can I call this body mine now? It doesn't feel right for me to claim this body. I felt guilty even though Silvestre said that it was mine from the beginning.
I start to open my eyes slowly. My vision was a bit blurry so I closed and opened again until my vision was clear enough. I carefully sit on the bed and look around. This place is too plain . It doesn't have any luxury design or any fancy wallpaper, the furniture has a simple design and this room doesn't have many things but it's much better than a commoner's house in my previous world. Now thinking of commoners, this bed's foam is too thin, small and plain white and this place or this room smells like medicine. I am busy observing my surroundings when two people enter the room without knocking 'where's the manner'
"Kairen?"
I look at the woman who called me Kairen- me? Kairen? That name I heard a while ago. This whole time, I was inside of this body.
"Call the Doctor now Krim!"
The woman yells at her husband commanding him to call the Doctor after that I realized that the woman is hugging me already, a tight hug of a worried mother. I felt more guilt now that I stole their daughter's body.
"Honey! The Doctor and nurse are here!"
Her husband yells from the outside of the room. It looks like this body got involved in an accident. He entered with a man wearing a white coat and a young girl wearing white blouse and skirt. Wearing that kind of clothes that is too revealing is not appropriate especially if you wear it outside of the households.
The Doctor stepped forward while the young lady stood behind him holding a paper and pen.
"Is there any part of your body that you can't move?"
He's examining my condition, I stay silent and I try to move my arms, fingers, legs, toes and neck.
"It seems like its fine I can move them"
'Woah!' Her voice is cold and lifeless, now I am wondering what she looks like but I can guarantee that she is beautiful because (mom) looks innocent and has an angelic face while (dad) has an intimidating aura that will make you obey him without any hesitation, it is in their genes.
"Alright, are you in pain? How's your eyesight?"
"When I woke up, the right side of my body is in pain up until now but I think I can tolerate it"
I look around to test my vision and see (my parents) hugging each other (mom) has tears in her eyes and (dad) looks pissed off about something. The young lady is busy taking down what the Doctor's saying.
"My eyesight is alright"
After that he asks me a lot of questions regarding what I feel about my body or how my feelings are. At first I hesitate to ask but if I don't know one can help me since Silvestre is not here.
"Why am I here? What happened to me?"
The moment I ask that question everyone in the room stops and stares at me for a moment, then (mom) suddenly runs slowly to me and kneels down beside my bed and holds my hands.
"Oh dear! Can you remember me?"
I just shrug my shoulders and look at the window on my left side. I know that she's the mom of the previous owner of this body but I don't have any memories of them even their names, I don't know, maybe it's safer if I said that I lost my memories so that they would think that I am no longer their beloved daughter.
I looked at her again but she and (dad) are now standing beside me and looked so pissed off.
The Doctor suddenly speaks to me.
"You don't know your name?"
I shake my head slightly to give him a 'no' answer.
"If that's the case we need to run a few test to make sure that there no brain hemorrhage, if she lost her memories, we're are not sure if she will be able recover it back, it is up to her and her ability to remember it"
The Doctor said and turned around.
"To the parents, shall we talk outside?"
They both nod and (mom) turn to faced me she smile sweetly and pat my head it feels like she's saying that 'everything-will-be-alright'
"We'll be back shortly, take a rest"
Every time she holds my hands and shows that caring and worried face it feels like some of the darkness is fading. It lightens my mood and cheers me up. This feeling is not bad at all but calling them mom and dad or claiming that they are my parents is not that easy. I stole their daughter's body, how dare I call them as if they are my parents if I know they're not. Calling someone in that way makes me want to cry my whole life. My mom in the previous world is the only one that gives me love and attention before Sarah and Sophie arrive at the palace after mom died.
I tried my best to stand on the floor and walk to get to see the view from the window. The sights from here are mesmerizing to my eyes, maybe because it is already night but those colorful lights. 'Wait! Is that vehicle? They look weird to me, where are the horses? What about those tall things? Is that a household? How many floors do they have?' Can the people in this world use magic too? What about knights and shoulders? How about the empire?
I am busy thinking about random things that I can experience here that makes me excited and afraid at the same time but it was thinking that I can live like normal, having friends, enemies, and explore outside of the palace or house, Oh! Maybe I can have a lover? Is there a handsome guy here?
"Do you like it? View up here?"
I startle when someone's talking.
