It's been 3 months since i became Ambrose. It took me time adapt to all this event. I feel really happy for getting a second chance in my life, not to mention right now I can walk and run unlike to my previous self. At the same time I feel bad for Ambrose, as I am occupying his body. This feeling makes me more guilty towards him but alas what can I do in this situation. It like those reincarnation novels I read in my hospital days.
I hope my parents are here right now, they would be very happy that I could once again walk and run. During my days in my hospital days I all ways want to go see the outside world. To see those exotic countries and explore those unknowns and urban legends.
Speaking of which, during these days I discovered that my current location in an orphanage at England in 1984. This give me some ideas, after all it is a age full of opportunities. Who knows may be I can became a business tycoon like in those webnovels or became a movie star or something.
During these days most kid's in the orphanage ingnores me, either by the warnings of that elderly nun or due to Ambrose being an introvert. Ambrose is an typical introvert child with thin body, dark hair and green eyes. But he was quite good looking and has near perfect photographic memory.
Days in orphanage was often boring and monotonous very few people talked to me. One of them was that previous elderly nun, her name is Elsa. she is very kind person and another one is the orphanage caretaker named Rosa.
Those calm days were broken by two incidents. It was when 10 days before Christmas correct date is 15_December_1984, those two incidents completely changed my current course of life. One of the incidents was, I have superpowers!!! yes, even I couldn't believe what was happening. when morning I woke up, my whole body was floating over the bed. It only happened no more than 5 seconds then I was fall back on the bed. My first reaction was excitement because I can fly and followed with deep fear that if someone found out, I will be definitely sliced apart. For a moment i thought, i was a certain citizen of krypton or one of the mutant in a certain comic series.
The second incident was at the same day. After the morning breakfast, the caretaker Rosa called me along with few other children as the same age as mine to main office. Due to flying incident in the morning, I was in a complete daze since the morning. I walked into office without noticing the man and woman sitting infront Elsa, looking eagerly at the children's just came in. Elsa noticed everyone was came in and then spoke in her usual tone.
Elsa: "*Ahem* All of you are called here for you meet these couple, they like to adopt one among you as their children."
The voice Elsa woke me up from the train of thoughts. Everyone except me consciously took a step forward. I just looked at the couple carefully. The man looked sturdy, he was well dressed but it still showed how muscular he was and also little intimidating. The woman on the contrary looked quite beautiful, kind and we'll dressed little fashionable. Those accessories she wore alone prove that they are atleast a middle classes family.
There was 6 of us, 4 boys and 2 girls of the same age in the office. The couple looked each of us eagerly. Seeing this, i consciously took a step back. But my small movement was noticed by the both of them. The man frowned and the woman jumped up from the seat walked towards me and she stared at me and I stared back at her. One big and one small, just stared at each other without giving away. The competition didn't last long, the man behind finally intervened.
???: "*Ahem* Hey.. Kate, what happened?"
The woman named Kate was silent for a moment then turned back to the man with the eyes full of excitement and man just looked her for a moment and then nodded. Then her eyes turned to Elsa and asked in tone of expectation
Kate: "Madam, can we have him?"
Pointing her hand at me, she asked much to the displeasure of other children. I just sighed and prepared to reject her kindness. Elsa just smiled and said
Elsa: "Mrs. Jason, before you asking me you should ask him first? Ambrose are you willing to go with them?"
Hearing her, Kate showed an expression of realization then turned towards me with those blues eyes full of expectation and eagerness. I wanted to reject her first, but those eyes remind me of my mother while I was in hospital, full of expectation and eagerness for my recovery. I just stayed their silent for while. The more time I stayed more she became anxious. I turned my eyes towards Elsa, she just gave me an encouraging smile and just smiled back at her while replying.
Ambrose: "Yes, I am..."
