Chapter II
Figuring out this timeline wasn't to hard, but there seemed to be alot of gaps in this child's memories. They show some advanced technology her parents worked on and this isn't the first life I've seen similar technology either. Using the ancient computer I research the internet to update myself on the current time. Its 2021 and people are in the midst of a pandemic, ha go figure I wake up in the middle of a pandemic. With this body I've figured it's going to take me at least 3 years just to get into optimal condition and if I did my math right this body is currently 25 years old and no muscles or training to speak of. Also, this girl's aunt and cousin have been caring for her comatose body for 17 years and have probably been living off the inheritance money claiming this,that, or another about this girl's health. The woman didn't look like she was living a hard life either with a nice pair of Louis Vuitton shoes and a Prada purse on her arm, but she could have bought that herself. Still the inheritance had to of made their lives some what comfortable. After reading the internet familiarizing myself with the latest trends of this time, I didn't want to seem uneducated or slow about the modern age.
Feeling hungry and I didn't trust the soup she made so looking up some recipes online and seeing what's in the house to make food. Not much is here though just mainly can goods and frozen meat that 6 years out of date. Shrugging, beggars can't be choosers, I get to work on a simple chicken breast and rice dish with steamed asparagus. Not wanting to rely on my spirit or demon energy too much, I had to sit a lot while cooking but pushed through it to now sat down to eat. Food the is better than last time. My last life being locked away and sealed so that I can't interfere with the lives I left behind. I knew it would be hard because the emotion each time I go to a new life is always similar. Lost love, heartache, sadness, and hope. Hope that whoever I left behind has the wisdom to do better than I did, and that none of them are killed because of me and my past lives.
Shaking off the feelings I was having and finishing my meal I clean up my mess. Not sensing any negative energies around the house , I go about finding some cloths. Looking in the room there's a short sleeve dress that goes to my knees with a floral print on it. There was still a tag on it, but it was dusty too. Must not have been Kimi's style. Finding some underwear than putting them on along with the dress I walk back to the computer and look up a lawyer to help me with my inheritance issues. Wondering where to start as far as my supposed “family” sucking me dry of all my assets a new lawyer should help. Then to look up my old pediatrician to find out what was said to him when I went into this supposed coma. Hopefully he can recommend a good trainer and possibly a nutritionist so I can get back in shape. Feeling weak all the time just doesn't work for me and knowing that I am constantly sought after forces me to keep myself on alert at all time.
There's no telling when one of my many enemies is going to come after me, and I don't want to be caught with my guard down or be in a position of weakness to be captured for what I know or what I have hidden away or my powers themselves. I may not be the most powerful being out there, but I am by no means without my own strength. With this new life, and what could be my final life at that, I want to make sure I can live it the way I want to, break the curse that says I will never find my true soul mate, and live free of all the restrictions that were placed on me by the Fates of Time.
Having seen just how surprised and shocked Kimi was, I figured out that my untimely resurrection wasn't supposed to happen, and not knowing how long she would keep the fact that I was awake from her mother was a liability. Having a month gave me a very short window to work out a plan, but I had to start now or things could go horribly wrong if I just believed they have my best interest at heart. After seeing the condition of this house and the way my body looked its as if I was left here to die, but I'll be damned if that happens.
I was completely shocked to see my cousin standing in the hallway standing there looking lost and confused. I never thought she would wake up from all those medicines mom has doped her up with. Mom has made sure for almost 2 decades that Laura stayed asleep and that the doctors believe that she was in a coma. It took me until I was in my teens to figure out what my mom was doing to my cousin and by that time I couldn't do anything, but continue the meds mom had her on. She was basically a skeleton and if I tried to move her I could end up killing her.
I was never really close to Laura, and I didn't really care that she woke up considering I have everything I need out of her. I had already made sure I was well cared for by investing some of the money I gotten from mom over the years. I may have gotten the money from Laura's inheritance, but that didn't make me feel to bad as she probably would have given it to me. While I didn't live fully on my own most of what I have is in my name so my mother couldn't claim it if shit hit the fan.
Driving away from that little house I thought about how Laura asked me not to say anything. Maybe she just needs some time to orient herself. Mom would want me to put her back to sleep, but I don't think its going to be that easy. A month is what she asked for, but I plan to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. Or puts mom in jail for taking her inheritance all these years.
Mom has used a good portion of Laura's inheritance and lived a very luxurious life style on a beach estate over looking the Pacific Ocean. Parties every weekend and charity events to support her life style that's how my mother chose to live. While I do go to some of the events she hosts I don't make it a habit to associate with her. My life went a different direction the minute I could leave her and I only took care of Laura because she was so bad at it. When Laura was 13 years old she almost killed her which would have ended her money train. If I hadn't been there to seal up the wound she made, murder charges would have been brought against her as well as several others once the police realized what she was doing with the money all these years.
While mom was good at hosting a party she was bad at managing money so she left all that to me, but demanded I make sure her black card is always taken care of. Now that Laura is awake its only a matter of time before that black card is cancelled. She's been asleep this whole time she won't know what to do let alone know how to use her money. Hopefully she's got a child like mind so there won't be a problem.
Laura wasn't very bright when we were kids so my thoughts didn't dwell on that stupid skeleton. Time for some shopping therapy and a nice lunch all this Laura stuff has made me hungry. Stupid twig probably gulped down that soup not suspecting anything, but I made sure to drop some Fentanyl pills in it that hopefully put her back to sleep. I hope they have that new hand bag I've been drying for.
