I was an ordinary lady working as a designer in a top company but only a newbie as I was only a fresh graduate but ended up passing the interview.
I had a hard time at first catching up but I got used to it very quickly. One day as I was walking in the street after work and I crossed the road to get to a bus stop, I suddenly turned my head to my right and all I can see was a flash of light coming towards me and in that moment I knew I was going to get hit. so I closed my eyes and got myself ready to feel the enormous pain I was going to feel .
I waited but moments later nothing happened so I thought maybe the rushing truck had already stopped so I opened my eyes but instead of a street light, tall buildings, and a wide road, I saw myself standing in a middle of a forest.
"What the hell?"
did I die?
Is this heaven!?, or am I already in the garden of Eden!!?
Confused about my situation I grab my phone from my bag that I was still wearing. as I open my phone I tried to search for my location but it only shows that there was no signal.
I was already starting to get stressed out so I looked around the area but all I could see was the constant tress around me, I continue walking and saw a river, and according to things I watch on tv its better if I follow a river if I'm in the wild so I did it.
I don't know how long I walked but when I looked very closely ahead of me I saw houses, I'm not sure but it looks like the old design of houses. I'm not really near the field where those unfamiliar structures but not far I saw a carriage like what I see in historical western dramas or movies heading straight to those old houses so I followed, I hid in the bushes and trees around me and observe the people but it shocked me how there clothing is also in the style old western culture.
I saw the people get out of the carriage a young lady wearing a lovely gown and an old man held her hand to help her gracefully get down.
I was certain at that moment these postures is called etiquette between nobles and royals before so it got me more confused about what is happening to me, am I going crazy after getting hit? or am I really dead and just seeing illusions? I focused on myself for a moment and forget about the people I was watching. I looked at them again and saw there already talking to two people, as they talk I was certain their language was different from mine, it wasn't English nor the other language I knew because I also studied other languages to use in my work.
I do not know what there where talking about at first but then I felt weird for a moment and I stared at them, suddenly I heard their words more clearly then I felt the sweat that was coming down my face as I froze in shock as I suddenly understand them.
END OF CHAPTER 1
Surprised by the unexpected events, I tried to relax rather than panic and get myself in trouble. I calculate what would be my next move and decided to get out of my hiding place and continue walking sneakily.
As I was walking, I saw clothes hanging on a rope connected to two trees and I thought of an idea.
I know it was wrong to steal but I didn't have a choice. I have to wear the same clothes as them so I don't stand out and can roam around freely to investigate what is happening to me. but I'll ensure that one day I'll pay back the clothes that I stole from it's owner.
The clothes I stole were a long dress, it was not extravagant like the one from the young girl from earlier but it was simple with a color brown and a dirty white shade in its sleeves. I started moving out and blended into the small crowd where people were selling .
As I tried not to get attention, I still can sense some people looking at me.
look at that lady
I haven't seen her here before
she has fair skin and is pretty, is she a noble?
but she's wearing a commoner gown though.
people near started talking about me.
I can hear you all you know
I mumble to myself
Then an old man walked towards me and talked to me.
young lady, are you new here? from what I know we don't have a citizen here with skin as fair as yours because this is a village that focuses on farming as their source of living, and I'd never seen a hair as black as yours!
erm...ah... it's because I'm a foreigner hahaha...
I answered awkwardly as my mouth automatically spoke in a new language
oh I see, so are you a noble young lady?
oh me!? noo, no, no... I'm just a wandering girl.
yeah..., that's right... haha
Oh my, you must be still having a hard time roaming this village, let me help you as I was once the village chief here before my retirement, let me ask my kind grandkid to do it.
Alejandro!!! come here!
He shouted.
You don't have to do that mister, I can handle myself.
No young lady this is just normal to welcome a new guest in our village.
he still insisted so I obeyed quietly.
I'm here grandpa!
A voice shouted behind my back so I turned around...
The wind was blowing softly and the boy's hair wavered and his eyes become wide open while staring at the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his whole life, hair as dark as a night without its moon and red eyes as shining as rubies, there were numerous things he couldn't describe more but one thing is certain that the person he was seeing was the love of his life.
