"Please sit comfortably miss... Elizabeth?"
The doctor said as he pointed a tea at me
"I am already sitting comfortably" I showed him the pillow chair I made
"Goodness gracious" He sighed disappointingly
I knit my eyebrows, do I look that childish?
When the tea arrived, Doctor Bentley accepted it and the maid was dismissed and he gave me a cup of tea
I looked at the tea, examined it "What flavor is it?"
"Mint" He replied bluntly
"Can you drink it first?"
"There is no poison Miss and allow me to DEMONSTRATE" He drank all of the tea in his cup and poured another batch
He seems pissed...
"Well now, let's begin" he sighed, "where should I even start?"
"From the begging, duh" I rolled my eyes
"You are really the opposite of Lady Liezel, you annoying and you have no manners"
"Seems like a compliment to me-"
"-This is the 7th case a crossbody happened, or what you humans call walk-in-souls, I cannot share with you the information and details of the other victims because they would like to keep on low profile and to keep their privacy to themselves. This happens when two souls are leaving each owners body at the same spacial time, if a soul leaves its body and accidentally meets her Celestine soul that is also dying, there's a high chance that their soul's touch and exchange, as long as the soul your encountering is you Celestine soul or Earthling soul"
"Wait, it's humans, not earthlings, you're making us sound like ducks, and what Celestine? Is it your world?"
"Yes my lady, it is our world but respectively our planet."
My jaw dropped "Wow, so the scientist didn't know your planet existed? Is it far away from the earth?"
"It's not found in the universe Miss Elizabeth, Celestine was made 20 million years after humans were made, the Celestine slowly build-up the core until the land by humans imagination, the more humans imagined, the bigger Celestine grew. Even the Homo's contributed the base of the core thanks for their daydreams until this very day, the latest version of earthlings are quite, extreme."
"Even the homos? Where still like gorillas and monkeys at that time"
"Even animals have imagination my lady, and combining with God's creation of human brains, they became smarter"
"Woooooooow, I'm impressed"
"In your case, you just need to live your life as Lady Liezel, as time passes by, you'll remember things naturally as if you've been living as Lady Liezel your whole life, 80% of her memory will be yours to remember and-"
"Wait! Hold on, to that part! Live as Lady Liezel my whole life? Do I not have a choice?"
Doctor Bentley sighed "Yes, I'm afraid so Miss-"
"-We don't even know if it's true, come on, the other cross bodies must have figured out a way to go back to earth"
Doctor Bentley didn't speak and just stared at me
"Don't tell me"
"I'm afraid 3 have passed away due to sickness and age"
"So there's for of us left?"
He nodded
"I can never go back to earth?"
"I'm sorry Miss Elizabeth"
I sighed and hugged my knees "It's not like I have a life to live there anyway, they probably won't even notice me gone"
"Cheer up now Miss Elizabeth," He stood up "you have a banquet to attend, it has been pushed since yesterday even though it's very important because of your injury, and Celestine woman take a long time to prepare"
"Is this natural for you?"
"What is natural?"
"You know, the cross-body thing?"
"I have been living all my life just to guide the cross body victims, that's was the purpose I was born" He picked up the tray
"How old exactly are you?"
"About a thousand years old I suppose?"
"What?! A thousand? Aren't you suppose to die at 70?"
"That's for humans" He elegantly grabbed my cup from my hand "In Celestine, you live up to hundreds of year's or so, but still, we keep our age like humans depending on our looks or how long we have been here because we believe we're too young for our age, so we apply the human age system"
"Cool, so how old are you in human?"
"About 30?"
"30? You look too young for that, or you're too old like in Celestine age and that's why your 30"
"I believe so Miss" He looks pissed, hehehe
"Then how old am I?"
"23"
"What? For this young body and beautiful young face?"
"Shocking isn't it?"
"Mind-blowing!!!"
"Enough chatter, you must get ready" He clapped his hand, and then 2 maids and 3 woman's including Betty ran inside lining up
"Lady Liezel, you have a banquet for the next 7 hours, there's no time to waste," Betty said while doing a courtesy
"Then please do help me prepare for the banquet, I do not want to be late" I suddenly said naturally and elegantly
And I just noticed it wasn't me "What the f-" I quickly covered my mouth avoiding to curse
"See my lady, it comes out naturally"
And in the blink of an eye, the maids and lady's pulled me leading me somewhere...
