"Some souls didn't get a second chance"
"To taste the miserable life"
"Where others would sing and dance"
"My mind is stuck on suicide"
Julia opened her eyes slowly and quickly sat upright.
"When did i a sleep and wait...How was i able to sleep?"Julia threw her messy hair at her back and stood up.
"Where am i now?"she said scratching her head as she looked around the room. The pink wallpaper on the wall was teared and ripped from many places and the white carpet had something spilled on it. It was a liquid which looked like soup or porridge. There was a broken lamp beside it. Everything seemed normal but the mysterious thing was that this wasn't Julia's room. Her eyes widened when she saw her reflection in the cracked mirror.Even with the cracks on the mirror it still did its job. She walked to where the mirror was and touched it. Her light chocolate hair had turned black like the nightsky without the sparkling stars in it. Her cofee coloured eyes were now dark chocolate. Her skin had turned much whiter than what it was when she died but her face was the same and this was not a sweet change for her. She looked at the large hoop earrings she wore and those were not her style. Infact everything she wore was not her style at all. She was in the black room a while ago then how did she get teleported here?. Thinking something she placed her finger under her nose and was astonished
She was breathing!
"Wait wait wait" Julia told herself and placed her hand on the left side of her chest and felt a heartbeat.
"How is this possible?"she asked herself when she stepped on something.
"Ouch" she rubbed her foot on the carpet and picked up the empty syringe on the ground and threw it back.Suddenly her eyes fell on a peice of paper on the sidetable. Picking it up she read what was written on it and it seemed like the electricity bill. She read the amount of money needed to be payed,the date,the month and then the year. And it was the year which gave her a shock. She died when she was twenty three years old and now it had been twenty six years to her death.
"Was she reincarnated?" a question came to her mind
"Did i get a second chance?"she sat on the bed still not recovered from the shock. Events and memories of her past life rushed back into her head and she stood up and went infront of the mirror again. She examined her face which looked the same as it was when she died except for the fact that her skin colour and eye colour had changed.
"Does this mean iam twenty three right now?"Out of nowhere she heard a loud noise which was the sound of a car's horn. She looked outside the window where there were people driving cars and some were walking. Some innocent children accompanied by the adults while group of people were entering and leaving the shops.
"If i jump from here then i will probably die "Julia said with a smile in her face.Her eyes getting teary.
Where others would be happy or thankful to get a second chace like this Julia wanted to end her life. She didn't want to live in the world again and neither did she have the strength to live in it. She had already been broken once and didn't want to be shattered like glass again. Her eyes were all set on the view outside the window when all of a sudden a thought came to her.
"I do know that heaven and hell exists but what if the only reason i was kept in the room was that
"I was meant to be reincarnated"
"Did destiny take pity on me?." Julia wiped her tears and stepped back from the window changing her decision.
"Where am i though?" she had only asked this when the brown door of the room opened and a lady whose hair was white as snow came inside.
"Oh wow Jurin you finally woke up!.I thought that you might have died after what we told you yesterday?"The lady unknown to her said
"Uhmm who are you miss?" Despite her rude tone and statement Julia asked her nicely
"And who is this Jurin" She furthur asked
"Oh did i hit you so much that you lost your memory" the lady placed a fabulous white dress on the bed and pulled Julia's hair making her groan in pain.
"Let me go!" Julia got the women's grip off from her hair and looked at her fiercely
"Quickly wear the clothes also your shoes are under the bed. You better hurry because he is already here"The women threw a lipstick which hitted Julia's face. Not caring for anything else the unknown women left the room. Julia looked at the dress the women had placed on the bed.
"She told me to change it so i guess that's what i should do and why did she call me Jurin and also why was she so rude!?" Julia was changing her dress when she noticed several bruise marks and rashes on her body. Since she didn't know where they came from she ignored them and wore the shoes which she found under the small bed. It had only been ten minutes to the women's departure when the lady busted into the room once again.
"Ugh didn't i tell you to be quick?" The lady dragged Julia to the bed
"What are you doing?" Julia shouted at the woman,her shouts reaching the ears of the people downstairs.
"Just shut up Jurin" the women held Julia's hair and quickly braided it into a fine braid. She then picked up the lipstick which was the on the floor and applied it on Julia's lips making them red as a rose.
"Come downstairs now" The old woman went downstairs and clueless Julia went outside the room. She looked at the staircase infront of her and started going down the stairs. Julia still had three steps to take before the staircase ended but a man's heavy hand held her arm tightly and pulled her down the stairs. She fell on her knees and glared at the man who was the lady's husband. He had a big fuzzy grey beard on his face. His eyebrows were so thick that they were hiding the half of his eyes.
"Is this Jurin?"a male voice asked and Julia shifted her gaze towards him. The new life she had just gotten inside her collapsed in a second when she saw the man's face.
Blond hair and blue eyes dressed in a suit surrounded by men who held guns.He had a gun of his own too but it was not the gun which made Julia terrified. It was his monsterous face.A face of a beast who had the power to kill anyone and had already killed someone before.
