Chapter Text
Ah, I guess going on a walk after a party at 3am is not a good idea especially if your with your slibings.
Who would have guessed you would get hit and flung by an entire truck.
I think I blacked out for quite awhile looking at the ground that was now covered in blood.
Heck I can't feel anything, numbness took over my entire body, I guess my high pain resistance came to use.
My head felt like it was about to be blown into smithereens, I thank my family of plain headed idiots for having high pain resistance.
I layed on the ground motionless, it didn't help the fact I was in a ditch next to the road, where are my siblings Thomas and ian? They came on a walk with me trying to escape the barrage of aunties trying to court them to their daughters, I mean it's not everyday you see British people in a rural Asian village.
God I hate my dad shagging my mom, I get it he tried to escape from the 'stressful life' but he could have chosen a Russian gal or a Canadian one.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a metallic taste in my mouth.
sh*t, I am puking blood now.
Well just great, justttt great.
That's when I heard my brother Thomas.
"Ash! Ash!! *Cough* *cough* where are you!!"
From the seems of it he is not doing so well.
I tired to reply to his pleads but only a grunt came out.
"Ugh..."
Thankfully he heard me and I heard hurried footsteps coming towards me,
A gasp came.
"Oh gosh, Ash!! Are you alright'en?!"
I am clearly not, and your British accent came out, is what I would have said but at this point I am too tired to deal with this sh*t.
I grunt while I push myself up, the blood pool below me is not a sight to behold, I felt an arm on my shoulder.
"Ash let me help you up" Thomas said in a worried voice, broski also sounded in pain.
I have many things on my bucket list, and getting run over by a truck with my slibings is not definitely not on the list.
Thomas helped me up, leaving a bloody trail behind, iam surprised I haven't passed out from over bleeding or even died from it.
I wince as the pain on my back settles, the truck had a direct hit on my back and I don't think my shrimp posture will be straight through.
As soon as I am out of the ditch I see smoke on the other side of the road, the truck must have surrved to the side of the road and down the ditch, the smoke was only a campfire size so I will worry later.
In the middle of the road was a complete bloodbath.
I saw Ian a bit further away from it.
Blood, that was all it was.
Then I remember my moms words.
"The moonlight always guides us, I remember being lost in the forest mountains, usually children would die, but my father taught better.
I survived and here am I......"
Yeah bullsh*t, all the moon is doing is giving me trauma by showing my almost dead brother.
I force myself to look away and cover my mouth to prevent any of my supper coming out.
I look up at thomas, he doesn't look any better, his blond hair now dyed pink from the blood, he had cuts and bruise's everywhere and with some leaves on his hair, I am guessing he fell down a hill.
.....but the most disturbing feature? I saw that a large part of his hand looked like a skinned rat.
I guess he got caught in one of the branches and......
I don't wanna think about it anymore the human body is fragile anyways.
It seems he noticed my observations and told me "ash don't worry!! It's not bleeding so I will be fine, well probably from infections at least"
Ah, my dearest Thomas, a infection is definitely not the thing you should be worried about right now.
"Is Ian okay?"
"He is fine so far, I managed to stop his bleeding, I used his phone to call the adults so they will be here any minute now."
Thomas looked tired.
I turned to Ian and crawl towards him, my throat was dry and my vertebrae felt like it shattered like a mirror.
I soon reached him and there was a massive wound on his stomach.
"I fell....down a... bran-ch...."
Ian weakly muttered as he looked at me.
I forced myself to look away.
"At least your still alive"
I layed on the road with him as Thomas also came next to us.
"It's kinda weird I don't feel fear at all, I guess we all got a good part of moms genes" Thomas said while looking at the moon above us.
"Mom thought fear is our number one enemy, but with us suicidal maniac's Iam pretty sure fear is not even an emotion to us anymore"
I spoke while coughing from the end and god damn was it painful.
"The stars never looked so bright"
I muttered.
Silence came....
Ian opened his mouth to say something but it was interrupted by a noise.
The three of us turn our head and we see more smoke coming out of the truck.
"Ah, sh*t"
"sh*t indeed broski"
The truck f*cking exploded and fire spread everywhere, I saw both of my brothers sillioute absorbed into the fire, and soon all I saw was black.
Black out.
Ah sh*t, is this how I die? By the truck? With my siblings? I mean that is what I wanted, but in this way! Well I lived a sh*tty life with a few regrets I guess.
Ah, that means elira will be left alone now, my poor baby sister.......I hope she at least gets into an art college.
A job, a life unlike her older slibings and maybe even a husband!........
what bullsh*t she is a complete introvert without her slibings beside her.
Ah, does that mean I got killed by truck-kun?
Bruh.......
I hope I at least reincarnate or transmigrate into a nice fantasy world or something, I read too much manhwas and manga.
It felt like an century when I sat in silence in the void, untill I heard something.
*Clank!*
?
"Miss fell down!! Get the rafts!!"
??
".......YOU!........"
???
What the f*ck are these voices??
As soon as those voices came, they where gone.
I sat in silence, untill the numbness over my body started to fade away, I first felt my feet and soon it went up knees, hands, elbows, and soon my neck.
I also gained the sense of smell soon enough.
I can smell the salty ocean, some kind of medicine? And perfume.
Did I perhaps survive? I might be at the hospital then.
I felt a needle in my wrist which made me wince in pain. They could have at least warned me.
As I was in deep thoughts on what was happening a voice interrupted my thoughts.
"So she will be awake soon right?"
Who?
"Yes Mr lass, shhe will, but with a nasty heead trauma like'en twat, te doubt shhe will wake'en up"
First that accent is horrendous and second if you think a silly car crash and a car explosion is gonna stop me then your are Wrong.
I went through much worser situations then this.
I tired to open my eyes.
And it worked wow I didn't think that would work so fast.
I wince at the light suddenly invading my eyes and took a good few seconds to adjust, the celling was wood, am I at an local hospital??
A tube ran down to the wrist and the blankets were soft, the pillow was silky, what fancy hospital is this??
A gasp came from my side, I shift my eyes to the direction of the sound and I see a doctor and a butler.............wait a f*cking minute, a goddamn butler?!
The doctor had the usual white coat with the only noticeable feature being a bright green bandana on his fore head, while the butler.......well what do you think he'd look like? He looks like a f*cking butler of course.
Both of them stared at me for a solid 5 seconds before the doctor sprinted out of the door and yelled.
"MANDARIN, CALL THE MISTRESS!! RIEL IS AWAKE"
Who the f*ck is riel?
The butler quicky walks to me bombards me with questions, while also helping me get up from the bed.
"Are you fine??" "Are you hungry??" "Is your head hurting?!"
Well yeah it is with you asking questions all of a sudden.
As I try to comprehend this strange situation my hair flutters before me, my eye widens.
Pinkish blond hair?
Wait a minute.
I look at my hands, pale as a ghost, I look at my feet small as heck, I look at the dress, A f*cking princess night gown?!?!
That's when the sudden realization hit me harder then my dad's belt.
𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺
As this new horror dawn's upon me, I slowly look up to the butler, who had confusion on his face.
Time to pull out the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
Gaslighting, and manipulation.
"Erm.......who are you?"
The doctor that was near the door was shouting at someone but he stoped and looked back at us with his jaw dropping to the floor.
The butler was breaking in to a cold sweat.
"You don't remember me?"
Of course I don't you f*cking balding Uncle
"Uh.......no?......sorry........"
Let's add some spice to it.
Tears well up to my eyes.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I?"
I said in the Shakey voice.
Tears fell down my cheeks and I start to fake a hyperventilate.
This ought to do it.
The doctor quickly rushes to my side and gives me instructions to breathe, the butler beside me the entire time.
The door was wide open and I saw groups of maids and people in sailor outfits peeking in, some of them with concerns, tears, fear and worry.
With my observations, I can answer some of my questions, the smell of seas, wooded celling and the sailor outfits indicate iam in a boat, which also seems to be a boat of a rich person based on the maids and butler.
With my pale skin and the people's expression and worries towards me I must be an important person on this boat.
But I still can't tell my relation on this, a rich merchant's daughter Could be the highest possiblelity but I can't be sure.
I look around the room, a fancy mirror on the corner, plants everywhere, fancy carpet, a big ass wardrobe, two doors one to the outside and one I presume the toilet or a bathroom.
I look around a bit more and see large windows on the walls covered by green curtains, there was arch way leading somewhere but I could not see with the curtain covering it, a balcony? Maybe a second room or even a walk in closet.
What ever it is the room itself proofs that the body iam in is an important person,
But 𝙒𝙝𝙤?
At this point the went outside to hush away the people peeking, the doctor was doing a check up.
After a while the butler comes back with a tray of food on his hand and places it in front of me.
Bread, soup and a cup of milk.
I suspiciously eye the food and look back at the butler who gave me a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry miss I know you must be confused but please bear with us and eat you haven't woken up since a full week, you even suffered a high fever during that time"
A high fever and one week, gotta take a mental note on that.
I reluctantly took the bread and soup and started to eat, I noticed my body automatically started to use fancy gesture's and proper etiquette when eating, I guess muscle memory at it's finest.
Which now proves My point of this body being of a rich merchant or a noble daughter.
After eating I hear a knock on the door, both the doctor and the butler looked nervous.
"Please come in madam"
The door opened and oh my gosh those melon's, why are they so goddamn large??? I look down and I see a flat chest, thank God that means I don't have to deal with back pain, the lady walked in a cat walk style and her dress was a long silky blue dress.
The front was up till her knees and the back was just a few centimeters away from the group, her hair was yellowish blond and was tied into a high ponytail.
She had pink nail polished nails and her eyes where of a sirens.
Who the f*ck is this lady?
I looked at her with eyes of curiosity, she just glared at me and turned her focus at the doctor and the butler.
A sign of hostility is not good.
"So I heard she doesn't remember anything starting from her own name."
"Yesh, ma'am, heer brain is dowang gud"
The doctor said looking at the floor.
Oh god this accent reminds me of my grandma trying to speak English with me.
The tall lady glares at them and says with venom in her voice.
"Get a treatment that get s her memories back, within two months or you will be thrown off this ship, Gepard"
Ah so that's the doctor's name.
She walks away from the two but not before turning to me with a glare, I didn't break eye contact and just innocently looked at her.
She scoffed and walked away slamming the door behind her.
It seems like she is not on a good terms with this body.
Another mental note on that.
Both the doctor and the butler took a sign of relief after the door was shut.
Both of them left as the sun went down, the butler told me that I will receive dinner soon and to patiently wait.
I was left alone in the room.
I stood up and walked to the mirror in the corner.
A girl stood in front of me.
Light blond hair.
Round blue doe eyes.
Her bangs covered her left eye so I pushed it away, ah heterochromia. Left eye was yellow, quite the combination.
I place the bangs back and stare at the mirror.
She had the same face structure as me, same face it looked like another version of me but with blond hair, different colored eyes and skin which creeped me out so I went away from the mirror.
My eyes dart around the room untill it stops at the desk next to the bed, walking towards it I notice stacks of story books, encyclopedias, picture books and something caught my eye.
"Encyclopedias on devil's fruit"
Needless to say my jaw dropped to the floor faster then a person running from a bear.
I quickly reached for the book and open it.
It was full of pictures and words, cold sweat breaks down.
Please don't tell me......
I see a yellowish map in the corner of the desk and I open it.
GRANDLINE
