The Game Of Love

Chapter Three

My head was throbbing as I slowly started to open my eyes. A small groan left my lips and suddenly I heard a gasp beside me.

"My lady?! You are awake!" Someone screamed.

I open my eyes and looked up to see a young girl dressed as a maid staring down at me with tears in her eyes. In shock, I didn't move and only stared.

"My lady?"

I looked around the room. It seemed like I was in a huge bedroom decked out for a princess. I looked down and saw I was on a huge bed with the most softest blankets I ever felt.

"Who...who are you?" I asked her.

She made a small gasp and cried more. "Oh, I must get the doctor. I will be back," she cried.

"Wait!" I yelled but she was already gone.

My vision was blurry and my head was being pounded by hammer. I felt my heartbeat beat faster as I slowly started to realize what happened.

"Welcome newcomer," someone sighed.

I looked around terrified until I saw a small black cat perched at the end of my bed. Their eyes were a dark red.

"You..you can talk?"

The cat laughed, "You get stuck in a world with magic and yet a talking cat is scary?"

I widen my eyes as I started to realize the truth. I am in the game.

I got up immediately, running to the mirror. I looked like a fairytale princess. My hair was red like the flames of a fire. My eyes were the light shade of violet, with a small white sparkle on the sides. I look like none of the characters in the game. I had no idea who I was.

"I guess you are trying to figure out whose bode you're in," the cat hinted.

I shot my head back to the cat. He was also not in the game.

"And you. I thought I was in the game."

"You are," the cat smiled.

"Then who am I?"

"Penelope," the cat replied.

I was the dead sister of the female lead. Except this time, she didn't die.

"It said she died from an illness," I cried.

"No, she was poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"Yes but this time, she didn't die. Because you decided to help my master and entered her body," the cat explained.

"Your master? But I didn't-," before I could finish I suddenly remembered the odd man who gave me the game. His acted just like the characters in the game. That is why he warned me. He knew what was going to happen.

I started biting my fingers as I paced the room, trying to understand what to do.

"I can't be here! I have a life and usually you die to enter someones body. I didn't die!"

"You made a deal with my master. You wanted to try the hidden level. This is the hidden level," the cat hissed.

"What exactly do I need to do?"

"Find out who wanted Penelope dead."
