Chapter 3 - Unknown world

Selene's POV

Ian is always composed and never speak about what he's thinking. I knew him since we were 5yrs old. He always loves reading book, fantasy, novel, comics, history books and more. For a long time all I know she doesn't care to any girl. At least that's all I know.

But when he say's that word, I remembered something he said in the past. "When a person ask you 'The moon is beautiful isn't it?' that means they are confessing their love" he said that to me long ago.

As I heard him saying those words, nothing comes out from my lips. I push my tongue back down to my throat. Unable to response.

'His eyes, is it always this beautiful?' The dark black color of his eyes brightened by the moonlight, his mid long hair that pass through his eyebrow down to his eyes, swing as the winds gently waves.

The moment of silence gives me time to carefully hold his cheeck, as my lips slowy touch his. The cold night embrace the two lovers under the beautiful celestial moon.

Ian's POV

As I go back home, my brain never stopped distracting me, thinking that moment. 'What was that?' I rub my head with both hands shaking my hair. 'What was that?' Repeating the same question to ask myself.

To distract myself, I turn my attention on the wierd book. I take the book I bought from the old book store. Still wondering how to open it, flipping back to front. 'What's this?' There was an orange button appeared on the top header of it's covered leather.

'It's not here when I first saw this.' I press the button, surprisingly the book was unlocked. 'Shit! Hahahaha!' I jumped up, as I celebrate my success opening the book. 'Oh god, you never know how happy I am.' I talked to it as if it's listening to me. I carefully open the book, while my eyes whide open in excitement and then.

'What? What's this, nothing?' I open the book page by page, my face change as my bewildered mind unable to process. 'All the pages were blank!?' I stand up carrying the book, still looking for anything in an empty book I bought.

Confusion filled my head, I throw the book back to my bed 'That's it, thank you. I will return you tomorrow.' As I continue my rant, there was a sudden earthquake or so I thought. 

My tense body moved by instinct and hide under my table, As I covered my head, I carefully check my surroundings. The whole room was shaking, It is weird that my aunt never notice the earthquake, If an earthquake this strong, she should be already shouting my name from her room.

Yet it seems like she didn't know what's happening. I quickly stand up to run on her room to check her. As soon as I stood up, I saw the book glowing shine like a powerful led light of the car. 

I was stunned, wondering what's happening. And then suddenly, my eyes get blurred and I feel dizzy. I feel like I've lost all my energy and the last thing I remembered, my body was floating in mid air.

I tried my best to move, but I'm losing conscious. I feel warm all over my body. 

And then a few moments later..

'What's this? It's so dark' suddenly, I'm in a place where all I see is darkness, I couldn't feel anything. 'Where I am' I check my surroundings, but when I tried to move, it seems I am wrap up by something. 

I hear some voices, seemingly talking to each other.

A woman voice say something "Look at him, William. He's really look like you!" A deep voice of a man responded "of course honey, he's our first baby boy" 

"He is so quite, I never saw a baby that never cried when they were first came into this world" An old woman's voice. 

"What? I'm not a baby!" Nothing comes to my mind but one question "what the hell happened, I am a baby?!"

It takes me a few minutes to calm down.

Composting my emotions, I carefully assest my situation. Thankfully I understood their language. That's enough for now.

Not long enough my eyesight finally getting better and better. My infant eyes adjusting through the lights, I am able to see colors and figures. Scanning my surroundings, I notice the whole place.

I see an old wooden cieling and some kind of bottle looks like lab experiment with different liquids. This room is not a hospital, it's more like, we are in a witch house. The eerie vibes influence the aesthetic of the whole room.

I only see three or five candles that lights the room, with this my eyesight's were limited.

I tried to focus my vision on one person seemingly carrying me, the old woman with long grayed hair pass down to her shoulder with pointy nose and a sharp chin. Her glasses were thick enough for a wind shield. Her slow husky voice really irritates my eardrums. The old woman that's carrying me really scary. As she doesn't even wearing a doctor's coat. I'm starting to think that I'm summoned by some kind of witch cult.

But when she passed me to someone, the woman took me gently, I could feel her warmth body as she carefully carry me.

She's beautiful with long dark hair makes a perfect match with her scarlet Iris. Her pale eyeslid look like she cried a lot, yet her skin were clear I could think she's a beauty queen. A perfect shape of her face is really gorgeous. I noticed her blushing cheecks, I could feel her joy. She's smile on me so genuinely, as she slowly touch my infant hands.

"I will name you, Nathan, Nathan Xavier"

The woman gave me a name Nathan, not bad. I think she's my mother in this world, and that guy?

He looks manly, his deep voice really gives me chills, yet his face looks so happy, I cannot deny that he is a good looking man with beautiful shape of jaw covered in trim beard, a short dark brown hair that passed through his ear. He looks idiot when he acts though. I think he is my father.

An hour later, I am now starting to get used on my baby body. As they continue to speak to each other. The man, no, my father in this world name William Xavier and the woman who's carrying me this whole time, was named Aurelia Xavier. Looks like I am their first born. I feel bad for them that I am not what they think I am.

I still don't know what happened, all I remember was I am in my room and there was an earthquake, I don't know if I died, If so then maybe when people died, they get reincarnated in some unknown world. A lot happened today and I feel really tired. Hopefully I get a really good life this time.

Letting out a sigh I accept the fact that I was just born.
