YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!

"Come Back!!!"

"Help!!"

"HELP!! Please HELP!!!...."

Shit!!! 

I knew it! I felt it!

I had a weird feeling, I should have followed my instincts...

I shouldn't have come!

Why don't I ever listen to it...

hah, hah...I can't struggle anymore....no one can hear me...

This wasn't supposed to happen...this was supposed to be a new beginning...this was supposed to be fun...

I'm sinking...I can't breathe....I can't believe I'm going to die like this...

Buried beneath the dark waves of the ocean...

Shit!!...haah, oh well....

****

"Miss, you're awake!!"

"Xing er' are you okay?" 

"Xing er' you are finally awake, mother was so worried about you..."

"...You've had us so worried, it's okay now that you're awake..."

Her eyes fluttered and it seemed she was struggling to stay awake as she scanned the room, her eyes widened and then her eyes rolled and they were shut again.

"Xing er'!! Xing er' are you okay? Summon the doctor quick!!..."

***

I'm alive? I'm breathing...my eyes feel so heavy...someone must have heard me, Thank goodness! I really thought I was going to die....

I can't open my eyes and I can't feel my body... maybe I'm really...DEAD? No way, hahaha I can feel myself breathing...I think...

...but what if?!

...Then is this some sort of purgatory? hell? punishment? hahaha I know I wasn't particularly religious or anything but I wasn't that bad, right? Yeah, I was a pretty good person...

...Yeah, I was...okay, maybe decent....well, at the very least I wasn't horrible, okay?!!

...Oh Shit! Is this LIMBO?!!

...An eternity in Limbo?!! Oh Shit!! Oh Shit!!...

...Oh well, at least I have good company...

....That's not the point!! Even I would go crazy spending an eternity talking to myself...

...Well, there's nothing I can do about it anyway...

....haah, I guess...

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

...I hear something... Footsteps? A door opening? ...

"How come she still isn't waking up? It's been two days already..." 

"She should be waking up soon, the accident just left her fatigued...she is just recovering, there is no need to be worried, Madam."

"I hope so...thank you doctor, here's the money..."

"Thank you Madam, if there's nothing else, this servant will take his leave."

"hm, go well."

The doctor quietly exited the room, the woman slowly approached the bed where a young girl was laid seemingly sleeping soundly, at her side sitting on the floor her staring intently on at the sleeping figure was a younger girl.

"Xiao Ting you should go get some rest, I will keep her company." 

"Mother...No, it's my fault jiejie is like this...if I wasn't being too playful...I have to see her wake up and apologize."

"It was an accident, no one faults you, and I am sure your sister doesn't blame you either."

"jiejie..."

...it seems someone must be watching a drama or something...if there's TV then I'm definitely alive!! what a relief hahahahaha...didn't think I loved life so much...

"Now you go get some rest, you have been watching her since you woke...you need to rest as well, it's not good for your body."

"but..." Xiao Ting protested.

"That's enough, your sister would not be pleased to wake up and see you looking so haggard." The woman said as she held the Xiao Ting's arm and pulled her up and ushered her in the direction of the door. 

"Go rest up...Ah Jin take Xiao Ting to her room."

"Yes, Madam." A maid walked forward from the edge of the room and held Xiao Ting's arm and led her out the door.

The woman sat down on the bed and looked at the sleeping girl with a worried expression and then reached out and touched the sleeping girl's cheek.

Someone's touching my face...this is weird...not even my parents would do that...either way, they're not even here to...Oy, pervert, move that hand  -__-)'

"Xing er', mother's so glad that you are warm now...I was so scared when I felt how cold you were...I thought you were dead...Thank Heavens!"

Caressing now? -__-)'...hah, I guess I should just be grateful I was saved? hm I don't know, there are worse things than being dead....what if I was picked up by a human trafficker?! I could be sold as a prostitute, tortured, used for experiments or something worse!!...but a trafficker that softly caresses their victims face? I don't think so, it doesn't really fit the occupation....maybe it's a weird fetish...oh, that's creepy....

I wanna go home! I have to wake up...come on eyes, OPEN!!!

Her eyes flew open and saw a woman's crying face, the woman seemed to be in her late 30s dressed in those ancient china garments from dramas, she was quite beautiful and her eyes were wide open in shock staring at the now awake young girl on the bed.

Who the hell is this? hmm, not what I expected...

"Xing er' you're awake?" The woman chimed as she came out of her daze, "Does it hurt anywhere? How do you feel?"

"Fine, I guess, just a little tired." The young girl replied looking at the woman with suspicious eyes. She attempted to drag her now aching body up but could barely move and only managed to move her and looked around assessing her surroundings. The room looked like one of those Chinese drama set rooms, wooden and beautifully decorated with vases, exquisite curtains and was quite a big space. The bed also seems to be wooden with a quilt on it. 

Hmm...must be the set for a movie...but why would a patient, me, be in here? more specifically, why would you have an ancient china set in the middle of the high seas on a ship? seems stupid...

Or maybe I got picked up by some weird people with too much money and such a great obsession with ancient China that they modeled all their rooms in their ship like this...and even have people dress like this too...must be nice...

"Thank you for saving me, where are we?"

The woman looked at the young girl quizzically, then in shock.

"Xing er' you are home, of course! This is your room...you...you don't recognize it?" 

The young girl stared blankly at the woman.

...cosplaying?

"...home? Um...um, home? hahahahahaha....this is fun and all? but could you drop me off at your next port or something...or actually, could I just use your phone?" 

"Xing er' what are you rambling on about?" The woman was confused,  "I think it is best to summon the doctor to check on you...someone call the doctor, quick!"

"Yes, Madam." Someone answered from the outside the door and a few people dressed as ancient maids came running in. 

"Go call the Lord, tell him Xing er' is awake but...just tell him that for now." One the maids went bobbed her head and went running out the room. 

"Xing er' don't worry everything will be fine...you are fine now, mother will be here with you." The woman said as tears fell from her eyes and stared at the girl on the bed with worry and picked up her hand and held them with hers as if to reassure the girl, even though she was the one trembling.

The young girl on the bed just stared blankly at the woman.

No way! No way! This has to be a dream...it couldn't be...I transmigrated?!...
