Star Crossed In Time

It's so hot! These clothes are so uncomfortable... I get one arm out before Bai Lei's suddenly in front of me and shoving my arm back in. "Are you mentally incompetent?" He asks with a glare. I return the glare and pull away while saying "If you don't want to see it then let. Me. Leave!"

Bai Lei's dark eyes look into my greens eyes with a heart-stopping glare. His eyes are so cold... I suddenly feel a chill run down my spine despite sweating my ass off. "I'm only going to say this once more... Wear your clothes properly or I will personally teach you how."

I swallow hard and slightly nod my head in understanding as I slowly fix my undergarments. Bai Lei lifts his hand out to the side while still glaring at me. Ren is suddenly there with my outer clothes. Ren respectfully places the clothes in his hand and steps back silently.

Bai Lei hands me the clothes and I quickly slip them back on. "Ren will show you to your room." Bai Lei says before standing and walking away. Ren respectfully bows as Bai Lei leaves but as he turns back to me he gives me a sour look.

"Follow me," Ren says turning and walking away. I feel like crying... I push myself up and slowly follow him into a different courtyard. It was still beautiful but it wasn't as big or as pretty as the other one. He opens the doors and says "This is where you'll stay... obediently. I will have someone come over to help you settle in."

He turns around and leaves without another look. I look to the open door with pitiful eyes... I slowly make my way in to see a room like the ones I always see in the TV Dramas. I loved watching Dramas like this but not enough to live here myself!

I'm too spoiled by modern living to survive this! Not to mention that Bai Lei... he's terrifying. I feel like he'll kill me before anything else in this world. I walk around the room while pushing the windows open. A nice cool breeze flows through the room making the curtains sway in a lazy pattern.

"Better..." I say with a small smile. I then begin looking at everything in the room with curiosity. It was beautifully decorated for a fine lady. Not really my style but I'm not staying here. I shrug and turn around to find an older woman with hard eyes standing right behind me.

I nearly jump out of my shoes from fright as the lady says "I will be taking care of you while you're here. Looks like we should start with a bath." She looks to my hair with disapproval. I lift a hand and immediately feel the grass I murdered earlier.

Before I can say anything the lady walks off while saying "Your bath will be ready in a minute." I awkwardly stand there not knowing what to do. I decide to sit on the ground and focus on logging out. Come on... come on... please!

"My lady, your bath is ready." The older lady says walking into the room. I slowly open my eyes and quickly stand. She watches me with hard eyes but she doesn't say anything else so I follow her for my "bath".

It was just a large wooden bucket with water and flower petals floating on top. Great! Just great! I quickly strip down and step into the tub. The water was hot but not too hot. I sink down into the water and jump when I feel the older lady touch me.

"I can bathe myself," I say grabbing her hand. Her hard eyes look up to me but she doesn't move. After a few awkward moments of staring at each other in silence, I release her hand and let her wash me. I feel violated! I'm a grown woman who can wash herself!

After the shower, the older woman helps me get dressed in new clothes. This time it was a beautiful dress that felt much cooler. The woman makes me sit in front of something that resembles a mirror but it's hard to see anything in it.

She then starts combing my long hair with careful hands. I watch her in the mirror as I try to figure her out but when I see myself I get distracted. I look exactly like the character I created... this doesn't make sense. If this isn't a game, why do I look like my character?
