// Jennette //

a/n: the timeline I'm basing this first chapter is when Jennette and Athanasia had a heartfelt conversation, After Anastacius introduce her as a part of the royal family. continue.

'I can't believe the princess and I finally talk about what we felt for each other, I'm so happy!'

I look towards the princess to see she is just delighted as I am, I let out a sigh of relief that the princess didn't hate me after what happen. Father was really mean to her, I took out the cup of tea that was poured on the table and sniff it's fragrant flower like scent.

it's the princess favorite tea.

I took a sip and it's really good that it made me smile, but for some reason I'm feeling a little dizzy and nauseas. my fingers began to tremble and feel like I'm losing control over my limbs.

the loud crash of a fallen teacup wash over my senses and I felt the urge to throw up.

"urk!"

as I hold my hand out, I notice the red stains as well as on my dress. I look at the princess direction  to see her in the same state as I am.

"Princess!" my throat felt dry and sore, and I'm starting to lose consciousness. I heard a few rustling and shouts of concern.

thud!

"j-Jettie!"

/////

"waah! waah!" the sound of the babies yell wake me up from my sleep

'huh? what happen? did I survive? what about the princess?'

but for some reason I can't see! was it the effect of the poison? and why was there a sound of a baby crying? I tried to move my hands and all I could feel was a hard sturdy bar like wood.

'did I get imprison!' 

it did make sense because Father and his majesty are on opposing sides and be suspected for poisoning the princess but still, isn't it a bit cruel to lock up a person after they were poison!

"waah!"

there it is again, the sound of a baby crying. but what would a baby be doing here in prison it doesn't make sense. argh! this is frustrating.

"hush now dear, mommy's here" the soft murmur of the lady made the baby stop. thank goodness the baby won't cry anymore. as I open my eyes, I am met with eyes akin to emerald stone gazing at me with a warm smile plastered on here face, she look young and really familiar.

Mother!

"are you alright now baby? are you hurt?" her touch is gentle and warm, it made me giggle as her feathery touch tickles my body.

"there you go! smiling suits our Jettie more"

wait what!?

something's strange here, if mother is right in front of me doesn't that mean I'm dead-ish? but there was a baby crying  so-

my train of thoughts were cut off as I look at the mirror in front of me, mother was carrying a small bundle in her arms covered in white blanket. a carbon copy of her eyes, small hands. so that crying baby earlier was ME!

"oh! is our Jettie already awake!"

Father!

he look extremely delighted, an expression I didn't see in my past life. mother and fathers clothing is similar to those folks in the town. a commoner.

"look Penny, she has your eyes!" he gush while squeezing my chubby cheeks. ouchie!

"waah!"

"oh no!"

after a few minutes of an embarrassing baby tantrum, I've finally calm down. As far as I can guess, I died and got reincarnated as a commoner. And by chance as 'their' daughter however father doesn't seem to have any relatives, mother as well. And we live in a tiny house fit for a family of three.

'Family'

it sounds really pleasant to my ears, I wish we could stay this way forever.

A/n: excuse me for the wrong grammars, I'll re check it later. 

Also what do you think?
