Chapter 15

Getting accustomed to change is becoming easier for me. First a new world, then a new family, now a new extended family. Then school, kids .... Mehh.. i can do it. A bunch of kids is nothing i couldn't handle. Anyway there's still a month before school starts.

Half a month went by with me and Ronny playing around, exploring the house, visiting the park and listening to our grandparents stories. It was fun while it lasted. A week before the start of school we got our uniforms mailed to our home. It has a white shirt and navy blue frock worn over head. For winters an additional jacket in navy blue and grey skirt replace the frock. A tie with blue and red stripes. White socks and black shoes. Same for Ronny except trousers in navy blue.

The next week went by with buying school supplies and meeting some neighbours who have kids around our age. many families living in this area prefer to send their kids to Crownlake, after all they all are rich and the main reason to stay in this city is that academy too.

Thus i met the 'Wane' brothers and sister. The twins who will be my classmates Chris wane and Miche wane . Mikhel Wane who will be Ronny's classmate...

That name, that face was too familiar to me, but how is that possible. I have seen Mikhel's childhood pics before. The one from my original world.Taylor showed me. This mikhel looks too similar to that one. I just can't wrap my head around it. My continuous gawking has attracted everyone's attention. And that led to Mikhel smirking at me. The grandparents group teasing me about being too young to fall in love and finally Ron turning hostile to Mikhel. Thank you guys! you opened my eyes by teasing a 5 year old about love. That's a very common thing to do. Please not the sarcasm.

After leaving the wanes home the nightmares that occurred once in a while became a daily visitor.

My nightmares that i haven't been able to tell anyone are once again haunting me. It started at age 3 when i started sleeping alone. I would wake with a start at odd hours. Every time a knife plunged in my heart is the end.

my guilt of leaving too early. How my parents and sarah might blame themselves or how Mikhel would regret not offering a ride as usual though i always turn him down. Then the nightmares change to them blaming me and me being covered in blood.

Me being a kid again had never touched a knife in this life yet. So i don't know how far my trauma goes. But being alone sure is scary after the dream. so i got in the habit of going to my parents room or Ronny's after waking up in the middle of the night. So they started leaving a light on in the corridor leading to their rooms.

One such thing is happening now, but i couldn't wake up. I can feel the blood oozing from me vividly. The shouts and cries around me. The next thing i know i was floating above my 22 year old body, looking into those eyes as they lost their life gradually.As i was trying to touch myself i suddenly got pulled away by some unknown force.

By the time I came to myself i was in a white room laying on a bed. I wonder if i came back to my original world as this looks a lot like a hospital. I sat up on the bed to look around. "Ma'am, the blood is collected. You can leave now. Thank you for your timely donation, it helps a lot.", the nurse smiled at me. "You are welcome." came my voice on its own and without my consent i was already walking out of there. Soon i reached the waiting area where Sarah and Mikhel were waiting for me. "Seriously, you came for me and became a patient yourself. I really wonder what you are made of." mikhel was shaking his head at me. " Shut up! I am not a patient, it was an emergency." i hissed at him. " you know you have a rare blood group and donated it. What if something happens to you." he hissed back. Sarah being the mediator she soon interfered "Mikhel we know you mean good but it was a small child. the blood reserve was not sufficient. Luckily ly was here, if not can you imagine what could have happened. You shouldn't be angry but proud."

Mikhel signed deeply" yeah I know. but i just can't see her that weak, ok!"

The same day after waiting for the news of the operation of that child which turned out to be successful, we all went home. After that day we became regular blood donors. After all i have a rare blood group. If I'm helpful to someone then it makes me happy.

"Ali"

"Ali"

"Can you hear me?", i can hear a baby's voice from somewhere. Leaving the hospital now in my baby form, i saw a garden with a lone tree in the middle. A baby was laying on the grass and munching some fruits there while watching me with a smile. "Took you long enough." she said while smiling.

"What do you mean?" a frown formed on my face while looking at her.

"I was waiting for you here for hours, which means years in your time, you know!" she spoke with a huff.

" again, what do you mean??" i asked in confusion.

" Hmm. you are dumber than i thought. Alright! what can I expect from a mere human. Let me introduce myself. I am an overseer of this world. I mean the world you currently live in." I was struck dumb by her intro. What the heck does she even mean??
