Chapter 4 - Where Am I?

Fuck! It really hurts! Slowly, I opened my eyes, allowing the sun to grace my eyes with its merciless sunrays.

 

"Fuck! Why am I feeling this hot? It's as if I am being cooked on a frying pan," I groaned. Oh, I see. So, Kevin wasn't really kidding, was he?

 

Taking a deep breath, I opened my mouth and said, "Hello?" A soft female voice entered my ears, making my body stiffen in fear. I slowly touched my chest. Two big mounds were engulfed in my palms as I closed my eyes in despair. Then I took my left hand towards my lower part and touched it. Hmmm... missing. It's fucking missing!

 

"KEVIN! DAMN YOU!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING!!" I yelled angrily. I knew he couldn't listen me but that doesn't mean I can't shout.

 

Okay, calm down. Getting angry over this won't help... especially, knowing the stakes very well. Remember your goal.

 

Where am I?

 

I looked around me and found myself in a 'ruin.' There were cracks in the wall. The tiles were dirty and broken. There was no fan or air conditioner in this... 'room.' Windows were absent. Instead of the windows, there were two big holes, which were kinda acting like 'windows.' I slowly got up from the bed, making a creaking noise. The mattress was as hard as a rock. My back hurts. Just as I tried to stand... I fell down on the ground with my butt first.

 

"Ouch! Ok, this body is certainly very weak. Is this body malnourished? Or, maybe... it's my new centre of gravity. I mean, I was bulky before. And now, I have very, very small... er, 'tiny' arms."

 

Suddenly, a note appeared on my lap. Magic? Maybe. I brought it right in front of my eyes, and read it.

 

[Hello! How are you, Mr. Knight? Or, should I say Ms. Knight?

 

You see, I wasn't really kidding about changing your gender. Tell me, how do you feel? Oh! I am sorry! I am not there, am I? So, you can just keep the answer to yourself.

 

Hmmm... where was I? Oh, yeah... let's just cut to the chase. You are in a body of a minor character; one whose existence is equivalent to zero. Heck, even an ant has more value than your character. See, you are in one of the five planets of Arcaplaxe... 'Detroiute.' I know, you have lot of questions. But I can only answer some of them. Your body's owner is dead. Killed, to be exact. Now, your... 'you' are a 'princess.' Your father is this planet's ruler. You must be thinking now... 'if I am in a princess's body, then why am I in this shabby, broken, disgusting, filthy... place?' Am I right? It's an apartment, your 'apartment.' So, no need to feel any shame. Be happy! See the bright side?

 

Ah, where was I again? Yeah! Well, the answer lies with your 'mother.' 'Your' body or, your 'mother' abandoned 'you' the moment, 'you' came into this world.

 

Your name is 'Lucia.' So, 'Lucia,' listen carefully. You have to find the other answers yourself.

 

P.S— Be quick the killer might come back to check if you are dead or not. Bye~

 

Double P.S— The killer might kill you. He takes his job seriously. So, take care and try to survive. Bye!]

 

My blood ran cold when I read that idiot's last two lines. Killer? Who wants to kill me? Am I really this unlucky? I haven't even settled yet! And this damn killer wants to kill me.

 

All of a sudden, I heard a knock on my door. Hah! Fuck my luck! He has already arrived. Can I fight him? Nah, he will kill me. I have to find something to prevent him from entering into 'my' apartment. At that moment, my eyes fell on the certain things which I could use to block the door. I immediately stood up. With wobbling feet, I tried to drag the refrigerator. This caused a loud screeching noise. The 'killer' started to try breaking the door as he realised that I was doing something.

 

With all my might, I dragged the refrigerator and put it against the door, halting the shaking of the door. My forehead was covered with sweat, and my arms were aching.

 

"Now, I have to drag the sofa," I hissed and wiped the sweat with the back of my hand. I have to be quick. Just as I was about to run towards the sofa, I heard a loud... very loud noise.
