Where am I? I feel like I've seen this before. Ahhh..... a splitting headache makes Jasmine unable to stand she stumbles and hold on to the frame of the window sliding her hand across the pine fir wood the smell making her nostalgic of the past, as she lifted her head to see the sun lit room, streams of light, the new-gold that flows in as a stream came through the window. Suddenly collapsing gasping for breath, her throat went dry and she felt weak in her knees the room become swirly just as in a teen girl with costume that looked like that of a maid came in. The terror on her face was clear as she started screaming for help as Jasmine lost her consciousness and collapsed on the floor.
Slowly opening my eyes I saw a familiar figure I thought I was seeing my mother, the same mother who has been dead for the past 10 years. Reaching out I grabbed the cheek of the blurry figure a hand pulled my hand away asked me what I was doing. I couldn't hear or see anything properly My head was still spinning from collapsing but as the figure started to become clear I knew I wasn't dreaming .
It's been a week and I still haven't solved the mystery. It seems that I have travelled back in time because I look 15 again and everyone is still alive but these memories of this different life isn't fake I know it's too real to be fake. But what I don't understand is should I be happy that my family is alive and maybe I can change the future but what if this is a trap, a illusion, a mind game. What if that man created a false reality to capture me or to torture me for killing her. The young maid walks in with a bandana around her hair, the clam look on her face and auburn hair swaying behind her ,
" Miss, master has called you for breakfast."
"But I haven't recovered, can't I just skip it like other days"
"Sorry miss, but master asked me to bring you under any circumstance."
I been missing meal time with them for over a week now, they must be thinking I am still angry. But it's just I don't know how to face them. I am not the same girl anymore and I can't magical start acting mature after collapsing with no reason but I can't just sit around I need to improve my magic as fast as possible, this body is too weak for anything.
"Miss have you made up your mind, we don't have much time to get ready."
"Ok, I will go. Now, Vivian help me get ready."
The doors are opening I am going see my family after 10 years. Entering with a viridian color gown hair tucked in a bun with a slim face, high cheekbones, big grey eyes staring at them she could take anyone's breath away.
Sitting beside her little brother she felt like welling up looking at his same grey eyes that one day stabbed her but now their was no hatred or anger in them just happiness. Now seeing mother again she looks younger and happier and father with that always cold exterior of his but everyone knows that he loves his family deeply just doesn't know how to show it.
"Jasmine I am sorry I shouldn't have cut you off and then grounded you. I will double your allowance and see if I can get that necklace." said the Baron looking up from his plate the sliver rim resting on his nose bridge, pushing up his glass he steals a glance at Jasmine.
" Come on Jan I know you are angry that you even got this sick but he is apologizing, you don't see that everyday. " Mother said with a little chuckle.
"I am not angry I know I was the one in the wrong" looking around at their expression, " you don't have to look so surprised, I can say sorry to. "said with a irritated look.
" Mom she is bewitched or she has gone crazy. " said that little devil.
" Mike mind your words. Jasmine don't be like this your father is genuinely sorry just forgive him. "
" I am not trying to put up a show. I really am sorry for what I did. Can't I change a too. "
"No, you can, it's just what 'impossible'. "
"You little... " reaching out to grab him from behind but he slips away.
" MOM.. " shrieked running out the door at full speed. The mood of the room became serious.
" Jasmine I will see what I can do about increasing your allowance. Just give me a few days. "
" Dad I don't want you to increase my allowance instead I want you to agree to something else." She knew her request can be totally denied as based on behalf her past behavior. Rubbing her hands together they had become so sweaty her nervousness can be seen easily.
" Jasmine , Honey I know its hard being a baron's daughter in the high society but you can't keep tormenting your family like this especially your father. Your father's health is already in decline because he is working day and night just to keep up with your wants." Baron's hand grabbing my mother's hand as to stop her from saying any more.
I understand why they would behave like this, the me in the past screamed at this line telling dad to work harder for me his daughter who later becomes the reason for his doom. I know they might disagree but I have to try my best.
"I wanna join the academy."
The room fell silent I was able to sense the tension in the room. As my mother was going to rain fire on me my father spoke with a heavy voice.
" Jasmine Belthrone Augustine this is no matter to kid." I could see the anger rising in his eyes, this is my chance if I blew it I won't see one for a long time.
" Dad I am not joking either I was able to enter the high society because of my powers I should has persuaded higher studies earlier. Father I really wanna learn I am not thinking about making mischief for you."
This must be surprising for them Jasmine the old me could never be stern with anyone and only knew how to threw tantrums.
" Ok, the admission will open after a month I get you a spot. But you better not fight against someone we can't afford to."
