I don't look that old, not in real life anyways.
However, if you were to count how many lives I have had in the past, then you would say I'm about 400 years old. That is, if you were to count. But I no longer do, and so…we shall say I'm going to be turning 27 soon.
My soul, on the other hand, shall be turning 400 or somewhere around that.
It truly does suck when you have a gift such as mine, truly it does. Being able to see into the past isn't so much as a gift as it is a curse. But it is one I have lived with for the better part of my life, this life; as in the here and now life.
I have gotten use to it, this curse of mine. Learned from it, kept it to myself, for now at least, and known when to use it. Of course, I have had flashes of the future, but that is something no one should ever know, so I don't think too much about the future.
However…
My past is something that is always in front of me. Always hanging around as if it were coming back to haunt me, which it is doing… I'm rather sick of it, to you the truth.
I bet you're wondering what in the living hell am I talking about, aren't you? I assure you, I'm not crazy nor do I try to be. I am a normal girl, well as normal as one can get with what I know, and I live a peaceful life… sometimes…
I have lived through four centuries, living each and every one in a different place. I have lived in Europe, Asia, South America, and so on. I have been called different names, from Sara to Elizabeth to Hikara. And I have died every single time, before my twenty-sixth year was to pass.
Death is something, that after three centuries, you began to look forward, hoping that this time when you die, you shall stay dead, and your soul shall move on to the heavens above you. But it never does, and so thus my curse continues.
My curse…
This is the story of my life, from the beginning to the end… or as much as one can have an end seeing how I'm not yet dead… not yet… I shall start at the beginning, explaining how I came to be in this world, and the one man who cursed me with what I have now.
