Chapter 14 of chapter 1 where am I

Where am I...

Isabella Pov.......

It felt like I was in a deepest sleep that I was not planning to wake up from. My breath was sieze, and I couldn't feel my heart beating. 

Then, came a blink flash before I know it, I was somewhere that looks familiar to me. I looked at myself and seen it was gloomy. What happens to me? I asked myself, staring while to my body change.

I don't know where I am, but I can tell I was in the reflection of my past in Lord Mayors. I spot myself sitting on a stone in the mist of the playing children in the field staring at a particular boy from afar. 

I tried to look at my direction from where I was sitting on. To see what my young self was looking at. It was him. My eyes catch his dark red eyes as them fiery at me from where the young me was sitting on.. the young me wasn't paying attention to his deadly gaze but I can see it clearly even though the direction was far. I can see his deadly gaze on her like a lost soul....

I have seen him before? Asked to myself. Then, why hadn't I have the memories of him except for Marcus and Emily...

Besides my memories with Marcus and Emily wasn't that clear. I never remember when I meet them except what I know Marcus was a good friend to me and he had a sister who hates me, That was all until this moment my memories drives me back to the past.

Before I know what's happening, another place appears, different from my pervious stage. This time, I saw the young me sleeping soundly on a old looking mat and he was there, the little familiar boy, trailing his fingers on my hair while I was sleeping.

I looked at he confusedly, why is he here in the first place. I thought that day I had a dream about him. Unknown to me it wasn't a dream but fatal reality. 

He was calling on my name softly. He wants me to wake up and see him but why? That left me wonder on my own. Before I waked up he immediately disappear out of the room. 

Even the real me wonder where he disappear to within a twinkle of an eye. I remember then, I wake her mother. She seem peaceful, I was happy to touch her again. I bend to stretch forward my hands on her to hug he and kiss her that I miss her so much. When. I stretch forward my hands, it felt invisible to her. I'm not existing in the past again but in the future. I couldn't touch my mother that I long wished....

"Mother" I murmured softly but she couldn't heard my word. As she cuddle tight on the young me.  Trying to put me back to sleep. 

"I miss you mother"  A single drop of tears fell down from my eyes on hand. Then, I realized I was crying.  I wish she could come back to me.

Just then, that page change and I saw the boy staring continuously at me from afar while young me work with other kids like me in the path.

His eyes never failed to look away from the young me. Was this how he looks at me? I thought. Standing closer to the young Duke reflection. 

Them, he muttered. "You are mine" while still watching at the young me. I looked at him with confusion. What the hell did I just heard? Have he proclaim me as his right from the days? I tried asking myself....

Another scene comes in. This time it was the burning of the plantain estate. The young me was in the middle of the fire, crying and screaming for my mother....

I don't know where my mother is. But I was scared, the fear of burning alive in the fire...

The young me keeps on screaming for my mother while the present me was also looking for my mother. Some of the houses in the plantain was burning with fire while people were running for safety. Some was catch with the huge fire burning in the plantation and  some were already burn to death....

"Mother!" The present me joined the young me in calling to mother who was no way to be found. The fire around the young me was getting closer at each edge..

With the closeness of the fire, the young me scream out loud this time before collapsed on the ground.  I was thinking of helping the young me out of there before the fire consumes her. Then I remember I was invisible to this world of my past. 

I tried waking her up but I can't. Just that moment. Someone entered the burning fire, warped the young me in his hands while the fire consumes wildly. Surprisedly the fire didn't burned him, that shocked the present me. Why didn't the fire burnt him?

I blink my eyes to see the person that was saving the young me from the fire was the young Duke... surprisingly opened my mouth, gulped confused at him.  He cuddle the young conscious me in hands tightly like I was planning to run away into the fire. And walked out of the burning flame. Place me on a fresh grass in the field...

"Isabella" he call softly. "You can't died, not now not forever. You promised to always be with me. Remember?"  

Remember? Did I make that promise to him, that I will forever be with him.? I thought

I looked stunned at the young image of the Duke. Just then, his shirt starts burning and reveal the dragon tattoo on his back. Then the dragon tattoo brighten. And I coughed.

"Isabella" he call so excited... "Are you okay?" 

I opened my eyes gently and uttered

"Marcus?" 

"Yes, Marcus" he answered. But he wasn't Marcus while did he answer his name? I asked myself while glaring confused at him. 

Who the hell the Duke really is? 

I felt a bright light cover all my scene that I have saw about the young me in the past. 

Immediately I could feel my heart beating again and my heavy eyelashes was raising up slightly. 

The first thing that catch my eyes was the roof. It wasn't that fancy either that old but just like in the servant quarter. Where I stayed. And my eyes open widened, Where the hell I am? I asked myself

I turned to my right and saw a lady laying her head down on the bed I am. Then, I realized I was on a bed but why am I here? The lady was sleeping, I looked further and saw all kind of treatment tools in a table not too far from the bed. I guess she is a doctor but why am I laying here? 

The last time I remember, I was in the dungeon of sorrow. What am I doing here now?  I was kept there by the Duke orders, why am I here now? 

I tried to lift up my body but I was too weak to do so. My hands slowly sweep on the lady hair to wake her up which she didn't. 

With excitement she stared at me like some kind of queen crown in her sleep, having her royal nap and have wake up.

"You're awake?" She asked. Her face looks so familiar to me but I couldn't tell when I have seen her before.

Before I could utter a word, she beats me to it. "Milady" she bowed and drags on my hand, kissed it and said. "You are back, the Duke would be happy to see you" 

She seen so happy.

" What ..what are you saying?" I said, trying to ensure what she meant because I know I was kept in the dungeon but couldn't remember what happens that bought me here.

She stands up from her seat and ran towards the door without answering my questions. When she opened the door, she announced to one of the men at the door entrance...

"Go to the Duke and tell him the lady is up!" She exclaimed excitedly. I was more confused than ever. What the hell is going on here! 

She came back to her spot still with her smiling face that refused to died off the smile....

"I have missed you milady" she said,

Why is she referring me as milady, or have she forgotten that I am a slave and a maid who working in the mansion? 

"The Duke will be happy to see you back on your feet"

" The Duke?" I asked surprisingly. She firmly nodded. " Yes the Duke" 

To me, I think she is crazy and didn't know what she is saying. The same Duke that order his men to locked me up in the dungeon was the same man happy to seen me? 

First, she hadn't told me what I was doing here and why am I here but all she could say was about that heartless man! 

"Please, where am I? And what am I  doing here-.." before I could finish my statement, the door slammed open in a roughly way. And a soundly boot walks in . I looked up to the owner of the boot.  It was him..

The devil in disguise of human...

His dark red eyes was looking worried at me 

"Isabella?" He softly muttered..
