An Xiulan could feel herself lying over the clouds.
Yes, clouds.
However, she wasn’t in the clouds.
Everything was white around her. It was as if she was standing in the middle of a room that has white walls, white flooring and even a white ceiling.
She didn’t know what place it was but she could tell that she was not in her world.
Last she remembered was that her mother had picked her up from the school and they were in a restaurant, having a meal and apart from that, she didn’t remember anything.
No, she did remember something..
Her mother had begun talking about her twin brother when she felt an unbearable headache. The intensity of the pain was so high that if she didn’t pass out, she could have died right there.
Twin brother?
“Yeah, what twin brother was my mom talking about?” An Xiulan asked herself. What twin brother was her mom talking about?
“Your mom?” A mocking voice disturbed her monologue.
A Xiulan turned her head to look at a girl standing far away from her. It wasn’t just any girl. But her. No, she wasn’t exactly herself. It was An Xiulan, the real An Xiulan. If this girl was An Xiulan, who was she?
Wasn’t she An Xiulan too?
The girl was wearing a white dress, red splashes of blood marring the perfection of the white dress. An Xiulan was sure that she didn’t see this girl when she was inspecting the surroundings.
When did the original body owner appear here?
An Xiulan panicked inside, did it mean she had to leave this world?
“An Xiulan, you should know An Qinyan is not your mother,” The girl reminded her. “She is my mother. Everything you have is mine.”
“Why are you here?” An Xiulan whispered as she felt her heart squeezing inside her chest. What right did she have to ask this girl to disappear?
Whatever the girl said was not wrong. Everything that she had belonged to the girl.
“You forced me to be here,” The girl replied. “You tried to unlock the part of myself that I had locked willingly.” Tears pooled at the corner of her big doe eyes as she pointed her finger at An Xiulan accusedly. “Why must you remember my bad memories? What right do you have?”
“I didn’t,” An Xiulan tried to say. She didn’t know what the girl was trying to say.
“You know everything,” The girl cried and then burst into tears. “Because of you, I will have to remember all those people I don’t want to see again. Only because of you!”
“Who are you?” An Xiulan asked, anxiously. “And what are you saying?”
“I’m you,” The girl whispered. “I’m a part of you. I’m a remnant of you.”
“You have died,” An Xiulan whispered with wide eyes. “Why are you back?”
“Just like you, I’m selfish too,” The girl spoke. “You are selfish enough to make my mother yours and are now living my life. I’m selfish enough to chase my desires and dreams. Don’t forget that I’m a part of your soul and you can’t part from me. If you try to unlock the forbidden part of my brain and soul, you will have to face consequences.”
“You are nothing but a mirage, “An Xiulan said as she looked at the girl. ” You want me to stay inferior to you. I didn’t choose this life. I didn’t ask to be transmigrated to this life. I didn’t know your world. I don’t even know why I was given this bizarre chance at life. I didn’t ask for a single thing. I asked for nothing. If I have to fight for this life chance, I will. I don’t care what you say.”
“Fight me,” The girl screamed in rage as she felt An Xiulan trying to unlock the memories that she had locked.
As An Xiulan stared at the girl in determination, not blinking her eyes. A blinding light entered her eyes, making it unable to stand still. She fell to her knees as she held her head in her hands and whimpered in pain. She could tolerate this pain. She felt as if she was dying. Suddenly, the pain was more brutal than the one she felt when she had drowned to death.
But she knew that she couldn’t give up.
A part of her brain was revolting against her.
The girl was nothing but a mirage. An image of her pain, insecurity and inferiority. She couldn’t give up this chance at life without fighting for it.
“Give up,” The voice shouted at her.
An Xiulan mentally shook her head. Tears were streaming down her face and her body was exhausted but she knew she couldn’t give up at this time.
After what seemed like an eternity, she heard the sound of a door opening and the blinding light dimmed as she opened her eyes to find the image of the girl blurring, a sad smile hung on the latter’s face.
And the last thing she remembered was the girl asking her to take care of her mother. Everything happened so fast that she didn’t know what had happened and how.
At this moment, all she remembered was falling asleep on the cold ground because of exhaustion.
When An Xiulan woke up, she found herself in a hospital room once again, nurses and doctors nursing her condition. The doctors were startled when she suddenly opened her eyes. It was as if they were not expecting her to wake up anytime soon.
“My mom,” An Xiulan whispered. She was afraid that her family would be snatched from her. The battle she was engaged in was painful and very long. She just wanted to see her mother to know that she had won. She didn’t want to be alone like before.
“How are you feeling now?” The doctor asked.
“My mom, I want to see her. Where is my mom?” An Xiulan didn’t care for the doctor’s words as she spoke. “Bring my mom to me. Or take me to her.”
