"Where am I?"
This question escapes the mouth of Raven as she started looking around.
Her eyes scan every single corner in the room, including all gadgets and paintings on the wall. Though the paintings are the normal building paintings, but the materials in the room are unfamiliar.
There's this thick wooden black haired thingy that is in a container.
"Paintbrush" Raven whisper and knits her eyebrows in confusion.
Where did she hear that word from and how does she know if that is what it's called?
What is happening to her?
Raven stands up and then something falls almost off her eyes. Thinking fast, her hands flies to her eyes and she immediately catches the transparent item on her eyes.
"Glasses"
The name escapes her mouth and then in shock and fear, she throws the glasses on the floor and starts to pant with no drop of sweat on her.
"How do I know all these?"
"Jane? Jane, get up! Your suitor is here!"
Raven turns to the wide and long mirror beside her and gawk staring at herself in it.
She has her hair let loose down her shoulders and she is wearing a student's dress.
Well, looks more like a student's dress, but the name isn't applicable to it. Kinda.
"A uniform?"
Where is she getting all these words from?
Raven stares up at the woman in front of her when she heard the sound of the door bang on the wall like a bomb.
"Jane, you gotta have yourself prepared. He's here"
The woman hurriedly walked towards her and fixed her hair loosely and then unzips the dress she has on from her back.
"Umm... Mother?"
"Yes darling"
Mother? How does she knows her?
And this isn't Golsie? What is going on?
"What... I have my-"
"Don't worry, your things are outside"
Raven keeps quiet as he mum got the dress off her and replaces it with a fabulous, sexy and a knee-length dress.
"Take a moment to admire yourself, I'll be at the door with your Father and James"
Just as Raven is about to ask who her father is and James, the woman exits the room without looking back at her.
She then turns back to the long and wide mirror.
Staring at it, Raven finally realizes that her wings are gone.
Where are her wings?! Her precious white wings!
She raises her hand up and bends it to her back, slightly touching it to feel any hole on it.
But there's nothing. Nothing at all.
Wait...
Why can't she remember anything? Why are her memories blur?
This woman is her mother and the men she is about to meet are her father and husband... But there is more to that...
She feels seriously uncomfortable and uneasy right now...
What is happening?
Jane is her name. But...
But she still have another name... What's that name?
Raven doesn't remember a single thing about the spiritual realms... She only remember the humanly feelings she use to have. Her relations and the relationships is all she remembers.
And what she now remember is that she have her husband, waiting for her in the sitting room.
Raven, now called Jane, steps out of her room, still in shock and stares at the door in front of her.
There are two men and three women in the sitting room, all staring in the direction of her room.
Raven freezes. Literally.
What the hell...
"Jane! Come up here, you little munk"
The man in a white T-shirt and a blue jeans says with a wide smile on his face.
Raven doesn't move. Her eyes diverts to the other man beside her father.
She doesn't know this man, but he looks seriously familiar.
If she can only remember his...
"Kenny?" she whispers inaudibly and thankfully no one heard.
She slowly moves in the direction of the standing adults, with her mouth slightly open and her face is swallowed with a shocked expression.
"There you go. Jane, James sent his driver to pick you up. Your things are in the car... "
The mother of Jane says with her hands waving nervously in the air.
"I'm gonna miss you, little munk"
The Father of Jane and the rest of the women envelopes Raven in a hug, and just to be not suspicious but still in shock, Raven taps her father's back weakly.
She's still in shock, no one will blame her for that.
"Goodbye, dear. We will miss you"
Raven says nothing. Because it's obvious that her family never hugged her when she was in Hasma.
There's no doubt the family she's leaving is a caring one.
"I... I'll miss you too"
Everyone withdraws with smiles of appreciation and sadness.
"Shall we?"
The man in a black suit and red shades asks.
Raven nods and together, they exit the house and went to the car nearly packed outside the house. Raven has never seen a car before, but she knows the name of the big thing outside here.
How come?
"Is... Is this your car?"
The man with shades look at her and then at the car with an eyebrow raised up at her.
This was the car she entered when she came with her husband to see his house, what does she means by the question she just asked.
"Yes... I believe you already know the answer to that"
Raven knits her eyebrows in confusion.
If she knew the answer, she wouldn't have asked twice, would she?
She doesn't argue or talk any further though.
But getting into the car by the help of the man taking her to her husband's house, she felt her butt go red under.
God, what is this thing that she's seating on?
"Car cushion"
How are all these words escaping her words these few minutes that has just passed like a whirlwind?
"Miss, please buckle up your seatbelts. The speed of this car is not some kind of joke"
Seatbelts? What are seatbelts?
The eyes of Raven diverts to the long rope-like thingy beside her and on the car cushion in some kind of fear.
She slowly tangles her fingers across it and with ease, buckles it without knowing.
"There you go. Thank you for complying Miss"
Complying? What did she comply to?
What is this place?
