Chapter 22 - Forgetful
Chapter 22 - Forgetful
I placed the Katana back into the crate then to close the big wooden. Standing up and dusting my
dress.
Now I need to get everything ready, my spending money, food...
Food...
Food...
Food...
'I FORGOT THE FOOD!'
Now I was panicking. How could I forget about the food? It's the most important resources I need wait
no water. I need water as well but where am I going to store it? I don't see a dollar store anywhere to
by myself a drink bottle.
Frustrated I kicked the couch but hurt my toes in the process. "OW ****, ****." I hopped around in pain. I
already forgotten how weak she is, my original body's toes never hurt when I kicked things.
I want my original body back.
I sat on the couch, resting my head on the cushions. Pinching the bridge of my nose I sighed in
frustration. "Where the hell am I going to find a backpack to store my food and medicines".
Wait.......
DID I FORGET THE MEDICINES AS WELL? "AHHHHHHH" I screamed, irritated at myself for getting
the most import supplies for the trip. I'm so forgetful, I hate it.
After spending a few minutes being in a temper tantrum, I got off the couch and opened the crate,
taking out the crate that had my katana and my tanto. I walked over to Diana's queen-sized bed.
I crouched down and slid the crate under my bed, hiding it just in case while I'm away getting my things
ready Lilly and Stella don't poke their noses in my crate. I did the same to the other crate, clothes, and
the boots.
I made my to the wardrobe and opened the doors to the wardrobe, I scanned the dresses but found
none that Lilly or Stella haven't seen.
I rummaged through them just in case I find something to replace the clothes I took out form the crate
when my eyes caught a box in the far corner of the wardrobe hidden from sight.
I slid it towards me. Looking at the box it was well decorated in crystal jewels and on top of it had the
crest of the Lancaster, a blue Hydrangea. Marianna's family crest and favourite flower.
Curious I opened it and my eyes fell out of my sockets when I saw a familiar white dress, folded neatly.
I touched the dress, the silky texture of the fabric felt so familiar like I know what this dress is but
where? Where did I see it?
To remind myself where I've seen this dress I picked it, the dress unfolded itself when I did. The
neckline was off shoulder style, with jewels stuck on them as it came down to the bodice making swirly Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
patterns. 'This dress, where have I seen it from? Why can't I remember? Was it just a dream?'
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.
I dropped the dress realising where I've seen it. It was Diana's white dress from the dream. Fear struck
my core.
'This can't be happening. Why is this dress here?'
I shook my head trying to get the thought out of my head. "It's just a dress that I saw in my dreams, it
doesn't mean anything." I told myself.
'I hope so'.
I picked up the dress from the ground. This dress can be the replacement.
I folded it again and put it in the crate. Tracing my fingers through my long silver hair I observed it, the
white dress laid in the middle of the crate however it was unnecessarily long for just one dress.
Can I just lock my door? The idea hit me like a rock. I'm so dumb why couldn't I just lock my door but
wait Lilly and Stella might have an extra key and where the hell am I going to get the key for this room.
"Great! Now I have to look for a goddamn key" I shrunk my shoulders. "Why is life full of obstacles" I
crossed my hands and pouted.
Time to look for the key. Yay me.
The first the place I looked for was Diana's vanity desk. I rummaged through the drawers, through the
dozens of colour ribbons, pearls, jewels that was in her drawers.
There was so many valuables here, what a waste if I just leave them here. 'I could sell these jewels or
pawn them for money. Yay I'll take them with me and sell them'.
I looked through the second one and finally I found a silver key hidden in the far back of the drawer.
'Yes!'
I snatched the key and held it in the air in victory.
I took a small pouch of gold and walked towards the door and opened it. Stepping out, I closed the door
behind me and locked it before placing the key in the pocket of the skirt.
Now I don't have to worry about the two nosey maids snooping around the room. It's time for me to
head off and get a bag and some medicines.
I halted in a stop. 'But where can I get medical equipment speaking of medical equipment this world
have no knowledge of Acupuncture' I rubbed my chin in deep thought.
'............I FORGOT TO ASK THE BLACKSMITH TO MAKE ME ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES!' I cupped
my cheeks in horror.
How can I be so forgetful? First, it's the food, the water, then the first aid kit and now my needles.
Needles are my best melee weapon; I use them for everything. To healing to killing and yet I forgot
them.
I have short term memory loss.
I stormed back to the door, shoved my hand down my pocket and took out the key then to shove in the
keyhole and turned it with a click. Steam was escaping my ears from frustration. I was so pissed at
myself for forgetting the four most important things for the quest to go home.
I need to get more money if I'm going to ask the blacksmith to make me my needles.
Which means I have to go through the crowds. I swallowed hard and my hands went cold just by
thinking of the dozens of people in one place.
I could just send a letter like last time but how am I supposed to trust any of these staff in the mansion.
None can be trusted just like Lilly and Stella.
Normally when I went out in my past life Daisuke was always with me, making sure I didn't get a panic
attack but now he's not here.
But I need to do this, if I need to get my other supplies, I need to enter town. I clenched my fist and
gritted my teeth. Why did I develop such fear? I hate it. I want to conquer my fear, but I can't no matter
how many times I try, I will cower away like a child.
Tears started to from in the corner of my eyes and my throat was dry. I sniffed back my tears and wiped
my nose with the back of my hand.
'I need to do this.'
