"Five! Eight! Come back here! "

He couldn't, couldn't lose someone else. That's why I was running, running without stopping to reach him, but just when I was about to reach his hand, I felt something absorb me.

Time played with me as if I were a doll that could be destroyed.

I got up off the ground, looking around me. There were only trees, obviously, I was in a forest. I shook off the dirt that had adhered to my uniform, it was quite cold, so I hugged myself.

I started walking to find the exit, guided by the whispering of the trees; Right now I was regretting not having a bite of dinner.

Furthermore, I reached the exit of the forest, but I looked at the ground that I did not realize that a carriage was passing. So I crashed into one of the windows, causing my head to smash it. That hurt.

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to get used to the light. I was in a room, it seemed old, more or less from the 20th century; I looked out the window and noticed during the day, I hope he has not been unconscious for days since I was sure that Reginald will kill me when he returns to the academy.

I got out of bed but doing so gave me strong dizziness, so I tried to hold onto the chair that was next to the bed but caused it to fall along with me. Which caused a great rumble.

I heard footsteps coming into the room. I got up quickly and tried to get out the window but it wouldn't open, when I was about to create a shield to break it, the door opens. I turn around and find a woman, her clothing was quite old-fashioned. She wore a bluish dress that reached the ground, the neck of the dress was higher than normal and the shoulders were baggy.

"Who are you?" I ask, being on alert in case he tries to attack me.

"Okay, little one. I won't do anything to you, I'm Eliza Barry, and who are you?" The woman's voice gave me confidence, but not enough to give her my name.

"I'm Aphrodite Kim." -I lie-. "What year is this?"

I ask when noticing that there was no electricity or things of the 21st century. The woman looked at me even more confused.

"1898" I felt as if my soul had escaped from my body. This cannot get worse.

❪...❫

"God, how can they put so many clothes on?" I murmured as I pulled on the loose dress along with the apron.

Two days had passed since the Barry sheltered me in their splendid house, I must have acted because the blow affected my memory. Even if I didn't like it, I should do it until I know how to go back to my time.

The Barry's made her go to school with their oldest daughter, which made me happy since at the academy we only had classes at home.

Also, these days I have become friends with girls. They are quite nice, especially the older ones.

"So you and Anne had quite a bit of trouble about having a friendship since your parents forbade you just because she's an orphan. But they accepted it when Anne saved Minnie May" I laughed. "What a beautiful story, I hope I get to have a friendship like yours"

"I'm sure you will. You are an excellent girl." Diana says, to which I smile.

My only friends have been a servant monkey and a stray cat.

"Oh look. There is Anne; Anne!"

My gaze falls on a beautiful, slender girl, with beautiful reddish hair hidden between two braids. He had blue eyes and freckles on his face; when the girl saw Diana, they run to embrace each other, when they separated they murmured some things that I could not hear because of my considerable distance, both of them look at me. Diana beckons for me to come over, so I do.

"Anne. This is my cousin, Aphrodite Kim. He came here to spend time here."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Diana has spoken highly of you." I commented, shaking hands with her.

"You're beautiful. I love your eyes, they are shaped like a dragon. Which is wonderful." She says excitedly, almost knocking me out. I laugh at his comment. "Oh yeah. I'm Anne with an E."

I remember Anne saying that it was because it was so rare to see Asian people in America.
