The Man in Black

Liu Wei disregarded the odd feeling as a figment of her imagination. She attributed the weirdness and blamed it all on being tired. Perhaps all those times she had stayed up formulating her revenge plots has made her overly sensitive.

As she was about to leave she saw a movement up ahead. In the distance, maybe half a mile away, there was a man dressed in all black standing very still staring straight at her. He had on a black baseball hat, that covered his eyes but even at that distance Liu Wei could make him out clearly.

She knew that this man was very dangerous, how did she know? Because her intuition was screaming at her to get the hell out of there! What was worse was that she was alone in the middle of nowhere, what if that man was a hired killer? Alone and defenseless in the middle of nowhere she definitely wasn't about to stay behind and find out whether this man was a friend or an enemy.

Ever since she had her second life, Liu Wei had a deeper sensitivity. Like all her senses were turned up to 100. Her touch, smell and sight was enhanced like never before. She was starting to feel a little strange and scared about the changes happening to her body. But she didn't really know who to ask and what to ask... of course it wasn't a subject that could easily be broached.

You couldn't just go up to someone and say, "Hey by the way I was dead before but now I'm alive and in someone else's body. And now my body is feeling and doing weird things, is there a book or manual that I can get my hands on?"

Yeah she would totally be on a one way ticket to the looney bin.

It was scary and she felt lost but she tamped down those rising feelings because it was not the right time to be having a melt down. A more pressing issue was right in front of her and that was to avoid that dangerous man at all cost. Turning around she started moving towards her vehicle and within a few steps she stopped in her tracks...

The strange man was now standing in front of her.

What the hell? how did he move so fast?

"Who are you?" she said in a calm voice, even though she was extremely terrified on the inside.

"My queen, I have finally found you.... You seem too weak in your current state." He says in a deep voice as he peruses her body.

Now that she was able to have a good look at him, Liu Wei could tell that his face was handsome not as handsome as Su Kais' but he could easily become a top model. He had dark blue colored eyes and light brown hair, he was tall and had a toned body. Even though he was handsome to look at, it couldn't hide the killer vibes he was currently emanating.

"You must have the wrong person..." She quickly tried to go around him but failed.

His movements were so quick, but she was still able to see it. It was such a weird sight, it was like watching a slow motion video but she knew that he was moving at a fast speed.

His fist was coming straight at her face, so she moved her head slightly to dodge. He then lifted his leg to kick her knees but just like before she could clearly see his actions and before he could even touch her she kicked him square in the abdomen. Which sent him flying across the way.

Oh my gosh.. What the hell was that? What just happened? So many questions were surfacing through her mind... How did I see his actions so clearly?!! what the hell is happening?

The man landed hard on the grounded but got up right away.

"My apologies my queen, I wanted to test your reflexes to see if you lost your abilities. It seems I underestimated your advancement... you are growing and learning quickly" He says as he bows to her on one knee with his right arm over his chest like a salute.

My reflexes? abilities? what the hell is this guy talking about? His queen?, whose a queen?

"Like I said, you have the wrong person..." She once again made a move to leave, but she kept an eye on him just in case he tried anything funny.

"My queen, my apologies for upsetting you. Your memories are not what they once were, when you are ready and would like answers to your questions please come and find me." He hands her his calling card and then promptly disappears.

Like what the hell was that? He just disappeared in front of her eyes. Was that a magic trick?

Such a strange encounter, she just couldn't wrap her mind around the supernatural things that happened today.

Upon returning to the city she went straight to the Liu family home. Liu Wei needed to relax and unwind from all the excitement of the day. Probably drink a bottle of wine or two...

As always her family was so welcoming and overly doted on her. She knew from the memories of this body that it wasn't like that before, but I guess her long absence made them see what was more important in life and that was to have her in it. It made her teary eyed that she was blessed in her past life and now, to have such an amazing support system.

She was thankful for the small reprieve it gave her, to not think of the abnormalities of the day. But now the events of the day started creeping back into her mind.

In her room she looked at the calling card turning it over and over in her hands. It was a simple black card with a white font. It was just an address, no business name or any other information just the location.

Could it be a trap? what if she goes and that man tries to kill her? What if there were more just like him? but he seems to think she was his queen...

Who has Royalties now a days? Majority of the world had gotten rid of the Royals apart from a handful of countries. In these modern times countries are run by politicians appointed by the people. Gone were the days of Kings and Queens and absolute monarchy.

Still the strange things he said and the moves he made were unusual. Even more so was her reaction to the mans attack.

Earlier during dinner with her family, one of the serving staff dropped a plate but she caught it without spilling it's content.

Of course everyone thought that she was just really quick, but she knew it was different. That incident like the fight scene with the man was all in slow motion.

She needed to get to the bottom of this, but should she trust that man?
