You look around in wonder. Surprise written all over your face. People are greeting you. Bowing to you. Keeping their distance and avoiding to look at you.
When you look down, you see a silk kimono. Ivory color, with pale pink cherry blossoms.
"Princess. What are you doing outside? Come in, please. This is no place for you."
There is another voice is the air, far in the distance. It whispers something about destiny and bravery.
-
Surprised she looks around. She is indeed standing outside of the palace. Which is strange because she would never go out alone.
"I'm coming."
The whisper in the air is still there. Coming closer. And it frightens her. <"You have to be brave. Find your future courage.">
The castle door close with a bang behind her. Blocking the voices.
She's still trembling when she enters her room again and for a second she closes her eyes, taking a deep breath.
-
There's a frightened look on her face when she opens her eyes again. This room... It's nothing like hers. There is a guy- a guy! -sitting in front of her. And she is sitting on a bed, her back against a wall, cross legged. Looking down she sees strange clothes. She's wearing trousers... She would never wear...
The voice in the distance interrupts her thoughts. <"Be brave. It is your Destiny to...">
She puts her hands over her ears and closes her eyes again, shaking her head.
-
Looking around again I notice I'm in my own room, sitting cross legged on my bed. No silk kimono. I'm not even in Japan. I'm home. Nick is sitting in front of me, studying. There's a voice in the air. <"Remember the past.">
Frowning I take my notebook out of my handbag and I can see Nick look up, eyes locked with mine.
"Was I sleeping?"
A surprised look on his face. "No, you've been awake the entire time. Why?"
I just shake my head and start writing. This needs to be remembered.

I wonder what that voice is and how this character ended up in Japan. Is it her past life? Remember the past has me thinking it might be! Very intriguing.

[dark_kana]

Not yet sure who or what the voice exactly is. But... It's indeed her past life. And I just made it pretty complicated. :-/
The first paragraph was Freya's present mind in her past body.
The second paragraph was Freya's past self.
The third paragraph was Freya's past mind in her present body.
And the last paragraph was Freya's present self.
... Is this making any sense? *sweatdrop*

But thank you for reading and commenting! I'm glad you like it. ^^

[peaked]

That does make sense - and makes the story even more intriguing! ♥

[dark_kana]

Glad to hear ^^
Thanks!

Oh, how interesting. I like how you crossed the present and the past characters.

[dark_kana]

:-) Thank you!

Very intriguing indeed, a magnificent flow between past and present.
