AN:Hi again! This is the second chapter for Timed Differently. I hope you enjoy reading it:))
The next day, I woke up feeling warm and comfy, which was sorta weird since my bed was hard and cold. Eh, I could worry about that later, right now I just wanted to sleep more.
Later that day, when I was finally fully awake, I noticed that my surroundings were different. That realization caused me to panic. I was no longer in my small dorm but instead I was in a nursery. At least… I think it was a nursery. Aside from that, I felt weird, like something was about to burst inside of me. The world seemed blurry and my head hurt, but I somehow managed to stand before I noticed that I was too short and my body… wait… THIS WASNT MY BODY. Shit. What do I do. I was in a baby's body. That was why everything was blurry. With the stress of my discoveries, I did the only thing that a baby could do: in short, I cried. A lot.
My crying was so loud that it was bound to attract someone's attention. In a few minutes, a woman rushed over to me. She had short, dark purple hair and was pale, which made her black eyes stand out more. She also had a motherly aura and seemed frantic to calm me down.
As she held me in her arms, I managed to get a closer look at her face. She looked vaguely familiar, as though I had seen her before.
"It's ok, Ultear." She whispered reassuringly. It wasn't until she had repeated the statement twice that I realized that she called me Ultear. Why did she call me that? My name was Kaia, not Ultear… unless… I was somehow transported to an alternate universe and became Ultear… Nah. That would never happen. For now though, I resolved to accept my fate and be a good baby until I figured out what was actually going on.
A few hours later, after my "mother" calmed me down, I started feeling hot and the feeling from earlier came back; I felt like I would burst. Soon, the pain became unbearable and I started crying again. Obviously, this attracted my mother's attention again. She came into my room and immediately checked on me, looking extremely worried when she felt my temperature. Soon, she conjured some ice to put on my head… wait… CONJURED SOME ICE? Ok. It's official. I'm crazy and delusional. Maybe the fever was just getting to me. Yeah… that's it… or maybe I was actually living in the fairy tail universe as Ultear.
Time skip *a few years*
A few years after my arrival in this world, I finally managed to grasp the concept that I had been transported to Ultear's body. Until now, I still feel extremely guilty since it feels like I'm the reason for her "death". I've tried to reach out to her soul numerous times but right now, it feels like I'm the only person in this body. Aside from that though, my life has been pretty good.
At first, when I realized that I was Ultear, I wondered where Gray and Lyon were, until I remembered that my mom only met them when I was gone. Because of that, I don't know if I should let myself be brought to the bureau nd then escape later. I know that eventually I'll have to leave since my magic is growing at such a fast rate and I feel like it's going to explode soon, but I love my mom and I don't want to leave her.
My mom is the best part about being reborn as Ultear. She's everything I've ever wanted in a parent; she's kind and caring but doesn't coddle me. I love her so much and I can't imagine being separated from her. She still doesn't know that I'm not actually her daughter though, and I'm scared that when she finds out, she'll shun me. It's one of my greatest fears.
Right now though, I'll just enjoy my childhood before I have to leave. I can feel my magic overflowing from its container and it hurts. I actually feel feverish, now that I think about it. I don't think I have much time left with my mom. As I think this, I suddenly feel a stab of pain shooting throughout my body. Oh shit. I don't feel so well. I decide that going to my mom is the best course of action right now so I stumble my way to her room and start crying out, "Mom, I don't feel so well,". Then I black out.
AN: That's the end of the chapter:) I'll probably update again tomorrow or maybe the day after that. I'm pretty busy right now and I have to write this in secret because no one in my family knows that I write fanfic. Please R&R :)
