Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

Well, I guess I wanted this anyway. Death took my soul like it was the last piece of cookie left in the jar. Maybe it was for everyone's good, or for their relief. I never really had a good time of my life either way.

My parents strict and cold towards me, my friends ignoring me as if I never existed, but my elder sister was the only person I could ever die for. She was always by my side, took care of me more than our parents and gets me gifts whenever I feel down. But growing up with her made me realize, I was such a burden to her.

I thought to myself, why? why does she not treat me like how everyone does around me? does she feel pity for me? Or does she really hate but never shows it to me because I get enough hate from everyone either way? Whatever it is, I feel a bit satisfied for leaving everyone behind but my elder sister...she should be okay, without me...

Right...?

 -----

My body...it feels so rigid and sore…and in pain. I can feel my limbs ache…my muscles cramped….my skin icy cold and stiff. I felt my heart….my heart beating slow and slower like it was going to stop in a second.

My whole body felt like it was getting absorbed into some kind of void; fading in the dark or something that's eating my body up slowly.

But, my skin...it didn't feel cold anymore…it was getting a bit less cold. My head feels less heavy than before. My body was feeling a bit…numb than sore…yet it felt somewhat pleasant. It felt like my body was healing by itself, it was such a comforting feeling. 

Suddenly, my ears popped as I was awake from a distant and a slow ringing sound. My eyes flutter open slowly, and my breathing was normal. I slowly got up, straightening my back and groaned softly from my drowsiness.

I rubbed my eyes, squinted slightly and saw my wooden window sill. The fresh breeze slowly whirling to my face and fluttering the white net curtains. And there, was the large clock bell from the city were the distant sound of it echoed afar to my house. I scratched the back of my head, my fingers tangling my black messy long hair a little and yawned tiredly.

" Welp, I guess I gotta start my day. Let's see what tasks I have for- "

Then a little soft squeaky noise interupted me. I looked away from the window and saw down to the wooden floor. It was Berry, my little hamster, a very cheeky one indeed. I sighed softly and smiled to him.

" Can't start my day without a small cuddle with my hamster, hmm? " I said to myself and picked him up from the floor to my lap on the bed. I patted his small head with my finger, and tickled him a bit. 

" Guess what Berry? Today's Sunday, y'know what that means? "

"Squeak?"

" Today's a day off, not really but basically there won't be alot of work to do today. So, let's make apple pie tonight, alright? "

Berry jumped in excitement and squeaked a million times. He softly nibbled my index finger, as a little ' thank you ' kiss from him. How adorable, I just can't handle the cuteness of him. He's too precious to me that I would spoil him a lot. 

I got out of bed, and stretched my body. My eyes a bit awake and then darted to the clock on the wall. It was 8 AM already. I wore my soft room slippers and took my black ribbon to tie my hair up messily, don't worry, I will eventually untangle my end knots.

I wore my necklace, that has a small blue crystal pendant which glowed softly as it hung around my neck. It was a gift from my elder sister, on my 18th birthday. It was considered to be the rarest crystal in the real world.

But when my soul got trapped here, I had the necklace in my hand for some strange reason when I started living in this fantasy dream.

Ever since then, I wore the necklace like it was worth of gold or jewels. It's a very important thing that I received from my loving sister before I left her.

And that's why I wear it almost everyday. 

" Okay berry, let me get ready. After that, let's head to the town market. "
