When he started running towards me, I chose flight. I ran as fast as I can back to the highway to find some help, any help that can help me prolong this unlucky life of mine. But maybe I am indeed unlucky in this game called life, I managed to get to the highway but it was too late when my mind recognized the loud honk of the big truck going towards my direction. It hit my whole body before I can even react properly.

My body flew a few meters away because of the impact. I was still alive but I felt pain in my whole system. There was too much pain that I can't feel my lower half anymore. I spit something out of my mouth, not sure if it was just blood or already one of my organs. I smiled before my death. I can't believe I'm still joking around on my deathbed.

Things became blurry and the last thing I saw was camera flashes, people were already taking pictures of my poor body instead of helping me. Poor humanity, poor me. The sinner became the law and humanity became nobody.

"She smells odd."

"How the hell did she appear here?"

"Did you see her dive in the pool?"

"Who will dive in that pool? Authorities prohibited that because the pool is already 500 years old!"

I keep on hearing murmurs from somewhere, they were muffled but they're there. My weight felt so light at this moment, I was about to think that I'm already dead but the sensation of water hitting my skin was too evident to ignore. I am still alive?

Darkness filled my vision but I quickly adjusted to my surrounding, it dawned on me that I am inside a black pool. Upon my realization, I quickly went up to the surface to gasp for air. I almost drowned if I didn't wake up in time. What am I doing here? Am I really alive?

"So, I am not dead yet?" I whispered.

I looked around and saw people with odd clothing styles looking at me. Maybe it's true that "doom" is my second name. They were staring at me as if I'm an alien, a foreign being for their eyes. I know I'm pretty and people tend to look at me most of the time that's why I frequently gain attention, but this is insane! This is too embarrassing for me!

"Call the authorities now! Maybe she is a fugitive!"

"Give alert to the king and council!"

My eyes widened when someone said "call the authorities," this feels like déjà vu. I immediately went out of the pool and I was surprised for a second. I can't believe that I was able to move a lot given the situation I was in earlier, I was sure my body was soaked in that black water for hours. And to be frank, it's aching so bad that's why I'm really wondering how the hell can I move this fast?! A police officer was nearby but I managed to run as fast as I can and hide somewhere. Dirt was on my body, I tripped earlier and fell on a mud puddle. Now my whole body is wet and covered with dirt.

After hiding for a minute or two, I ran again as fast as I can. I'm sure I'm already out of the authorities' sight but I still need to find a place to stay the night. I saw a cabin beside the lake. I jumped to the water and hid under the cabin because half of the cabin was exposed under the lake.

Remembering the people and the sight I saw earlier, I am still wondering how on earth did I appear and wake up inside that pool in a completely different place when the last thing I can clearly recall is being hit by a truck.

"Is this the afterlife? Am I already dead?" I murmured.

But hell, I am not a cat! I don't have nine lives and the impact caused by the truck earlier can surely kill me! What the hell happened to me?

I will investigate for the answer, but in the meantime, I have to find a place to stay for the night. I can't hide under this cabin till morning, I badly want to sleep! I'm thinking maybe someone kidnapped me or Alaska sent me to a province. I will really kill them! Nanay Indang and Tatay Basilyo are surely worried about me by now.

After hiding for almost 10 minutes, I went out of the water. I walked to find another place to stay where no one can see me. It is too dangerous to be seen here. All eyes are on me. Even the place is not familiar to me.

While running in the middle of this forest, I heard something ringing. When I looked around, I saw a bunch of soldiers running towards me. I realized where that ringing sound was coming from specifically, it was from the metal clanging from their waist. How the hell can I hear that!?

I am on the verge of running away again but my eyes widened when a soldier swiftly ran to me and pinned me to the ground. He even handcuffed me within a second or two. How did he do that? It was a matter of seconds!

"How did you do that, officer?" I asked the man who's holding me.

"Do what? You are unbelievable," he said. Like I was the abnormal and peculiar one, not him.

I let them drag me until we reached a police mobile. The place looks old and medieval but the technology was the same as where I used to live. I am certain that I am alive. I just don't know where am I and how did I appear here out of nowhere.

After minutes of traveling, we stopped at a big gate. They dragged me out and the big gate opened. My mouth widened because of the view. A big, gorgeous, and old medieval castle was in front of me. This is the first time that I have managed to see a castle this close.
