The Curious Play

And Why is that.?

She doesn"t know, It remained a mystery to her. she closed her eyes. .even if she wants to moved, her body froze and the temperature of the water was dropping low.

"I felt like I been here before!" 

She thought as she heard a voice in her head.

She was fighting the urge of not closing  her eyes but she was running out of air and the moment she closed it, she saw a flushed of random vision. .

Present. .

"Si"niáng, why are we here?" 

An eight year old girl asked her companion in a very curious manner, she nudge her head up while studying Si"niáng"s expression.

"Ye"er Gōngzhǔ. .today is your birthday and your grandmother wants to see you. ! You have to behave yourself, ok?"

"Ok.!" She smiled and shrugged her shoulder. "But how should I behave?"

She asked curiously that makes Si"niáng smiled and pinched her face dotingly.

"You.!" 

"Why you didn"t bring Xin"er with us?" she complaint. "What if I feel bored?" 

"We wont take a long time. .besides your father is here also, we will be coming home with him!"

"Really?"

Si"niáng nodded. "So be a good girl, ah?"

She nodded happily, knowing that her father will come home with them, makes her felt so happy. 

Her father rarely comes home that"s she felt overjoyed with the news.

Today is my birthday and father is coming home! she excitedly scream.

"What about Jing"gē is he coming home too?" 

She asked with a spark in her eyes. Si"niang glance at her pitifully but manage to force a fake smile just to make her happy.

"That"s for sure, princess!" 

She said biting her lips, she knew that Ye"er had been so observant in every small details. She was hoping that she wont be seen through her lies.

She doesn"t want to give false hope to her but today is her birthday she doesn"t want the little princess to feel sad.

"Greetings Tàihòu.!" She said then give her grandmother a proper courtesy. 

"Your granddaughter. .Yan Ye"er is here to wish you a good health and longevity!"

Her grandmother smiled at her in adoration. "Ye"er its been a long time. .I haven"t seen you, for awhile.!"

Her mouth watered when she saw the small cakes and sweets in the table.

"Tàihòu. .they said that I looked like my mother?"

she asked while munching up the cookies, empress dowager Yan Ming stunned with her question, when her daughter Chun"er pa.s.sed away no one dares to speak about her in the palace.

Si"niáng asked Ye"er to apologized in secret.

"Indeed.!" Tàihòu agreed, she was looking at her as if she was reminiscing the time when her daughter hastily eats the sweets before anyone caught her.

"You just reminded me of her, Xiǎo Ye"er" she said smiling sweetly at her. "And the one you"re eating now was her favorite.!" 

"Really.?" 

Her grandmother nodded after she finished eating all the sweets she get up and asked permission to take a stroll, Si"niáng was left behind as Yan Ming Tàihòu was talking to her.

It wasn"t long before she become alone as she left the palace maid that accompanied her in the bushes when they were playing hide and seek.

She giggles, if Xin"er was here it would be great! She thought.

She was casually walking around when she accidentally went in the south wing, where the imperial garden was located. She saw a water falls that makes her eyes widened in curiosity but before she could step further she heard someone screaming for help.

"Help.! Help. !"

She runs towards the pool and saw a boy drawning, with out a second thought she jumped in the water and pushed him up with all her might. She"s a good swimmer as she always swum in the man made lake in their manor in secret.

As soon as the boy was on the bridge, he laid down and stretched his hand to pulled her up, he was the handsomest boy she had ever seen and his eyes was the most beautiful of all, "Come on!" he said smiling at her.

She was about to grabbed his hand when she felt like someone was dragging her down. .and the last thing she saw was the boy"s face, struck in horror watching her drowning into the deep. .

Future. .

"I don"t know how to swim.!" She snapped angrily to her older sister. "Beside I did not bring my swim suits"

"Oh dear sister.!" Her sister chuckles teasingly. "You"re such a scare cat!"

"Leave me alone!" 

She said in disgust. Today is her eight birthday and it seems like her half sister is keep on annoying her. They always celebrates her birthday in the Yan mansion, it was the ancestral house of their family.

When everyone was busy inside she went outside to take a stroll and her feet brought her in the cone shape swimming pool. she was mesmerized, as the water was so clear that made her mind jumped in curiosity.

She sit in the side of it and bent down, she saw herself in the reflection of the water but what makes her confused is that though it was her but her clothing was different, she stretched her hand in the water as she saw herself drowning.

She frowned, why there"s another me in there?

She stretched her hand to grabbed the girl"s hand, she felt her flesh and she was dragging her down, she suddenly panicked but before she could pulled her hand  someone had pushed her in the water. .

Flashed. .

Now she saw herself stood in the middle of the library with the old man.

"Mr. Henrick where should I begin?"

"Always begin where you stop!"

The next moment she saw herself blinded by the white lights of the car that hit her she saw herself flew in the midair. .then her vision shifted into the scene where she was falling down into the clift.

It was like she fell into an endless abyss.

It was all connected. .her accident in the pool when she was eight years old. .when she hit by a car and fell down into the clift! 

The library where Xin"er first found her. .

Those four major accidents that she had in both present and future was happened in the same day the only difference was time and s.p.a.ce.

She suddenly felt something touched in her lips. .then she heard a shot of a gun.

It was her wedding day, the time her groom shot dead before they even started their wedding ceremony.

She had seen this vision once but she did not saw the face of the man who cause her the unbearable pain of losing someone, she loved so much!

but this time. .as soon as her groom fell down on the ground she was struck in horror to see the man who stood in the distance. .

His face was darkened. .

"Prince Ye.!"

She opened her eyes only to see the man kissing her and giving her a breath of life before dragging her up.

she shook her head. .

"I will rewrite my own fate. .even if I will defy the will of heaven. .I wont let this horrible things happened to us again and again.!"

She thought with determination, lately she felt like having a series of premonition and flashes of vision that she deliberately ignored.

She felt that somehow Prince Ye has an unknown connection with her and she"s going to find it out.
