POV Unknow Character

I was nibbling my dry skin lips, the blood just flowed. Next, I nervously bite my nails. I did not know what is going on here. I was in the office, after overtime works, past midnight as usual. Tired, I just closed my eyes in front of the screen of my computer and when I woke up, I was in that strange place... Is it a joke, or a hidden camera? My co-workers were making fun of me again? Was it another way to bully me? I searched everywhere a sign of cruel prank. It was well done that I saw nothing wrong around. I was such a fool. They will laugh at me and humiliated me again...

I pinched my tight, and the pain felt so real. This room was so old-fashioned and cold. It was very kitsch, wood everywhere, the clothes are so ugly, dirty, it looked like I am homeless person and it did not smell good. The bed was so uncomfortable and little. I had a terrible back pain. Gosh, it was so lousy outside. I stood up and someone barged.

''Tomoe? Why are you still in your room? Why do I have to take care of useless people here! You and the new maid! They are all lazy!" I stared speechless at that weird granny.

"What's wrong here! Damn it!" I barked. I did not want to be bothered. I was already taken as a fool at work, doing all the ungrateful chores from the other so I won't be mistreated again, and certainly not in my dream.

"How dare you to talk to me that way! You should learn respect!" She wanted to slap me and I avoided her wrinkled hand. I grabbed her neck. I did not know where that force come from, it was not me, but I knew for sure that I won't never let someone hit me again, never! The annoying woman tried to break free from my grip.

"You should learn respect first...and who are you to order me around? And how did you know my name? I don't even recognize you..." I demanded. The elder escaped from me and coughed.

"I am the person who will fire you if you are not ready in few minutes, the soldiers will throw away from the castle. You should be careful with who you are dealing with. The Viola can destroy your life Tomoe, you will prefer to live in Hell than being hated by them or me. I won't ever forget what happened now. I will make you suffer, be sure Tomoe!" The old crazy woman touched her sore neck and left while I blocked. The Viola?

No…no way. It was impossible, it was not possible at all! I could not transmigrate from my favourite fanfiction War of Love. It was only inside novels or manga that could ever exist. And usually it was the truck death malediction. I had to know what's going on here! First, I had to investigate if I was inside a dream or a nightmare.

POV Natsuki

Shizuru did not move from her bed. I could fell hostile vibes from her. It made me shudder. She totally doesn't want to take a bath. But she could not stay this way of dirtiness. I knew from historic books that before people did not take bath every day but I can't let her this way. Even if she snapped at me or screamed, I won't let her perish this way. And a good warm bath with a lot of bubbles can relax her a bit. I won't let her start her complain. I went to her bed. She knew I was near, she wanted to escape and I grabbed her in my arms and lift her up. She was still so light. I was afraid to break her weak body.

"What are you doing?!" She hit hard my nose with her elbow. I yelped in pain. I almost fall. Did I say before she was weak? My ass! Some tears rolled on my cheeks. She was worst than a savage animal. "Let me down!" She shouted directly inside my ears. I was sure she did it on purpose! What a brat! Oh my gosh, my ear was ringing. She will be the death of me! She tried to bite me! Easy Mike Tyson! I throw her directly inside the warm and perfumed water before I lost something. She screamed and I winced. I am going to get it… and bad! She grabbed my hand and let her nails deep inside my skin, I clenched my teeth. Oh, that was her revenge. It was not like I did not know she was spiteful. I almost fall on my knees in pain. I saw blood. My eyes widened.

"Don't ever do that again! Or next time I won't be so nice with you!" She threated me with a cold voice. I recognized the behaviour of my favourite villain. Perhaps I was a masochist, but she was so cool! And I hoped to not be beheaded so I could see her grown up as an amazing duchess.

"I won't…" I whined; it will let a mark. She loosened up her grip and I removed fast my hand. And I stepped back… just in case. I noticed the whiteness on her face. I was worried.

"Shizuru-sama?"

"I am…ok…you…can…leave…I…will wash myself…I am fine…" She heavily breathed. It was obvious she lied. She can't. It was the curse. Why now? Or she hid it from me the pain from the start. It was burning her body.

I read it. It was like several needles that rip her skin, her body was in fire now. I instinctively hold her hand, she squeezed it strongly, she needed my help. I did not mind the pain. I wanted to take all hers. I went to the bath tub and I hugged her.

"I won't leave you Shizuru. I will stay by your side, until you don't need me. I will be there."

"Promise me." She implored and it broke my heart her pleas.

"I swear." She desperately grabbed my clothes and she could not keep any longer the pain and cried, I followed her lead. I cried too.
