Shinwha Highschool started its first day but not like its usual opening, many students felt weird about the first day, it wasn't as peaceful like before, they felt like the school was covered up with a gloomy atmosphere.
The students couldn't feel any worse when they found out Ms. Lee will be the new teacher in Shinwha. Rumors has it that she doesn't age and she was stuck in a 25 year old lady's body and she was a witch.
Entering the gate was a new student and also the new kid in the neighborhood, Victoria. Many students were amazed by her appearance and at her first day she became quite popular because of her family's background. Her father was the CEO of the largest and most successful company in town while her mother came from a wealthy and noble family.
When she was on her way to class with Peyton, her best friend, they talked about their plans. She couldn't focus at all, it seems like she was having a bad day.
"Hey Vicky, you alright?" Peyton asked,
"Y-Yeah, I just feel like I've been here before", Victoria answered
"Odd, its our first time here...how come" Peyton added
"I feel so wei-"
Victoria's eyes widened when they came across Ms. Lee at the hallway, she quickly turned around at Ms. Lee, she thought that the lady that walked by seemed familiar to her. The lady was tall, have pale skin, nice hair, and she was pretty, she also looked a lot like her.
Victoria then asked Peyton, "*Peyton, did you just saw that beautiful lady? I think I saw her before"
"Oh that? I think she's the new teacher here, Ms. Lee. Haven't you heard of her yet*?" Peyton answered Victoria
"*N-no, but I thought she looked familiar"
"Wait I forgot, there's a rumor about her that she was a witch and that she had cursed herself to look younger*" Peyton told Victoria a rumor she heard from the kids talking earlier
*Odd so odd, everything here seems familiar and I don't even know why* Victoria whispered to herself
"She looks like you isn't she? Don't be surprised even I got an odd feeling about her"
Peyton said
"Whatever we gotta hurry, it's our first day we better hurry up or we'll be late"
Victoria and Peyton went to class and decided to meet some new friends, later on class started and everyone were quiet when their teacher came in. It was Ms. Lee!
The students started talking to each other about Ms. Lee. Victoria heard all of it but didn't mind them, she thought that she looked nice and had a pretty smile, so how come those rumors about her will spread like this?
"Alright class, as you know I'm Ms. Jessica Lee and I'll be your adviser. Let's try to be nice to each other you'll only see me for one year"
Ms. Lee introduced herself to class and called out her students to introduce their selves
When it was Victoria's turn she felt nervous than before, maybe it's because of Ms. Lee that's why she couldn't focus.
"H-hi, I'm Victoria Razweighl, I'm 16 years old,y fateher is the CEO of Raven company and my mom came from Harriston clan and I hope we all get along here"
Ms. Lee and the class couldn't believe she was a real Razweighl. The family's background and its origin was blocked from the world and even in the government except the country of Raznor.
"*hey, that last name, isn't that the lastname of the first royal family in our country"
"Yeah, I heard of its story before*"
Some students were talking at the back when Victoria started to introduce herself
*A Razweighl huh? it's a rare opportunity to meet someone, here's my chance* Ms. Lee thought to herself
"Ok class, now's not the time to talk about Miss Victoria's surname, let's assume that it was all just a big coincidence. Miss Razweighl you can now sit down"
Victoria felt weird and odd, she has a lot of questions about why is her last name a big deal, what's wrong? she wanted to investigate more so she decided to keep her investigation a secret and ask her dad about it after school and gather some more information.
The class then continued introducing theirselves, while Ms. Lee is thinking of a way to get closer to the Razweighl...
After the students introduce theirselves, Ms. Lee told a story about the lovers of their country, she was up to something.
"Well now that we've introduced each other, how about story time?"
Ms. Lee said the class and her face led a mischievous smile
*Ms. Lee's up to something...that witch* one of her students whispered, Victoria heard the kid but didn't mind him.
"As many of us know, this country was ruled by a royal family, the Razweighl"
Victoria's eyes widened and everyone looked at her, she thought this was her chance to see if she'd learn something about her family since it was kept locked from other countries
"Well the tale starts with the King and Queen living happily with their daughter Princess Agatha Razweighl, they were once a happy family ruling over their happy kingdom when one day a group of skilled assassins were ordered to kill the whole royal family. That time, the princess escaped due to the help of her secret lover and also her royal guard Xavier."
Ms. Lee frightened the whole class because of the way how she told her story, she has this dark gloomy tone that scared the lives out of her student
"Assassins?? why does my head hurts...o-ouch!"
Victoria is enduring the pain, she doesn't know where this is coming from, she thought it's just a headache, then suddenly an episode of the past came out to her mind...
*We don't have much time left, put Agatha into safety...I'll always love you [King's voice]
No...*cries* be careful [Queen's voice]
Mom what's happening!?! [Agatha]
Hide! quickly hide Agatha!
Mom no! Mom*!!!!
The fire spreads and all Agatha can do is stare at the fire while her mom and dad are being killed
After that flash in her memory, Ms. Lee seemed to also have the same experience as Victoria, her head starts to hurt and she noticed her plan was working well, she still continued with the story even though it was really painful
Victoria then said something
"T-the fire, mom, I can't anymore" *cries*
"Hey Vicky what happened, you're scaring me"
Peyton noticed that Victoria's acting weird
"The fire spreads and the Queen was burned to death while the King battled but failed"
Peyton turned to Victoria
*how did she know?*
" *Xavier grabbed Agatha and the two ran away and ended up on the river where they first met each other"
"we're safe here...I guess"
"Xavier, my family's dead, you're the only one I have left, stay with me" *cries*
*hugs Agatha*"I won't leave you*-"
"the young man was suddenly hit by an arrow and Agatha saw a silhouette of a tall man standing, she just stared at him when suddenly the man also hit her"
Victoria's heart felt pain and she started to remember the scene again, she grabbed her chest, she was breathing heavily, she started crying quietly so no one will notice her, like before, Ms. Lee experienced the same thing but she still kept going until she finished the story
"T-they were lying on the ground....T-they made their promise...to see each other after their death...they told each other that in the future life, t-they will still he lovers...When they finished tell in each other's promise, they held hands and died peacefully"
The story ended and the class was quiet this whole time, Ms. Lee looked at Agatha and saw her in pain, she wanted to make that happen to find something out
"The tale was said to be real, maybe the lovers are still hoping to find each other until now, but whatever happens their ending will always be death and if their ending will be different this time, in the next life, there would be no Agatha and Xavier, their love was like a curse. The end."
After Ms. Lee said that, the kid Victoria heard before stood up and said something
"The story is lame, and it wasn't even real, *smirks* tch and even if it was, they will never end that story happily, It was a curse and it was a punishment for their actions"
Ms. Lee glared into the boy, and smiled, everyone were looking at him
*what does he mean punishment? Ms. Lee didn't mention about the lovers' sins, what is he talking about....weird...*
Victoria thought to herself and she planned out to approach him after their class and ask him what does he mean by that
It was the end of class, while walking in the hallway Peyton ran towards Victoria to ask what had happened to her earlier
"Hey Vicky what happened earlier, you acted strange when Ms. Lee was telling the story, and I mean seriously strange"
Victoria seems to be blanking out and couldn't even think straight
"*Hey Vicky, hello? Victoria...Hey snap out of it!"
"Huh, Peyton? didn't see you there *smiles awkwardly
"What happened earlier when Ms. Lee was telling the story?"
*oh yeah something happened to me*"n-nothing" *smiles*
"*ugh, come on Vicky I know something was wrong, anyone can tell that, you started crying dum dum...just tell me"
"Well Peyton, while Ms. Lee was telling us the story, she kept looking at me as if she's keeping an eye on me"
"It's like the story wanted to tell me something, whenever I hear some of the scenes that happened, I had this visions of the past, I saw fire and I even called someone mom...I-It's just weird you know, it's like I've been there and this school, I think I knew this from before*"
Shocked, Peyton thought it might be coincidence but what kind of coincidence is that? it's like Vicky just came back from the past
*she's acting so weird, hmm what could it be?...wait! that's right Ms. Lee told us about those lovers*
"*Victoria! I think I get it now"
"What now?"
"You're the present version of Princess Agatha*!"
Victoria thought it sounds ridiculous but Peyton does have a point, but still, she kept denying even though it was obvious from her last name
"*I-I don't think so...for me it's all just a coincidence"
"Well believe anything you want but let's do some investigation here"
"wait! the kid, the one with the black hoody, t-the one who shouted at Ms. Lee, who was he?!?"
"You mean thunder? the intellectual kid but seems like a psychopathic jerk that isn't even Raznorian but an American and he's now spying on Ms. Lee because he also wanted to investigate on her, and also the kid who spreads the rumor about Ms. Lee?"
"Well...you just answered all my questions, how come you know this much after moving here for a day?"
"Well...you see Vicky, it's called, making friends"
"well whatever we have to find him"
"Well this is gonna be exciting*"
Sitting in the garden bench was Thunder, just like his name, he was being feared by many students and no one dared to go near him
"*Hey Vicky there he is!"
"I'm going to talk to him Peyton"
"Wait Vick-...gosh*
Victoria was walking towards Thunder but he didn't care at all, the students are looking at her thinking how brave she is to go near him
"*Hey you, Thunder Brooke"
"go away*"
*this guy...*
"*I won't go away, I want to ask you a question"
"what now you just disturbed me from listening to music"
"I don't care answer my question kiddo"
"did you just call me*?"
*that's right be mad at me Thunder*
"*fine I'll answer your little question just don't call me that"
"what do you know about Ms. Lee and the story she told earlier?"
"change my mind, not interested in answering that*"
*did this jerk seriously shut me off? ok that's enough*
Victoria took his earphones and shouted at him
"*Thunder Brooke I'm not gonna repeat myself after this, what do you know about Ms. Lee and the story?"
"you talk to much"
"Hey put me down*!"
Thunder carried Victoria and went to the garden at the back of the school
"*why did you bring me here?"
"didn't you wanna know about the b*llsh*t that the witch was talking about?"
"oh yeah go on*"
Thunder got really serious and told her that she shouldn't tell anyone about it
