I woke up to the sun shining in my face. I put a hand to block it. I rolled over and black, curly hair fell in my face. Oh no. Not again. I didn't even get a week to relax. I sat up and scrubbed my face. Taking a deep breath, I stood up and went to her closet. I went through her clothes and wasn't sure what to put on. It wasn't my style at all. I shook my head and just grabbed something. It was a white tee shirt, a black vest, and a grey skirt. I threw on her shoes. I saw a brush on her night stand. I grabbed it and headed to the bathroom. There I studied my new face.
My face was very pale against my black hair. That contrast should have appeared shocking, but it wasn't. What was shocking was my eyes. One was a shining green and the other was a glowing yellow. I just stared at the eeriness of it all. I blinked, made different facial expression, and moved around. I looked away from the mirror and brushed my hair.
I left the bathroom and headed downstairs. The house was huge and had apparently redid itself for some reason. Everything was done in silver, blue, and purple. I liked it. Then I remember that Lena could control the house. Does that mean I did this?
"It does. Now who are you?" I heard a calming southern accent.
I turned around and saw a tall man who looked like he had stepped out of a movie. He had salt and pepper hair, pale face, and green eyes.
"Macon Ravenwood." I whispered. "I'm Heartland."
"I see. And where is Lena." I could tell then that he was angry.
"In my body in my world." I answered quickly. "She is fine."
"She is? You're certain." He walked towards me.
"Yes. I don't have evil casters or anything like that. And everyone before her has been. So statistically she is perfectly safe." I said trying not to let him make me doubt myself.
He stared into my eyes and I knew he was Mindhunting. I directed my thoughts to the body swapping, the upcoming war, and how all of this works. Then I thought about myself as a person and any details he would need to know.
"You can transfer memories. And have a strong mind." Macon replied, turning around. "I don't know what you need to do here. If it's mastering Lena powers, I can assure that attempting it would be very difficult as she hasn't done so herself yet."
"I know. But we have to do something." I started to follow.
"Yes, because you only have a year to do all of this." I thought I saw sympathy in his eyes, but I wasn't sure.
"So, as I can see you know a lot about this world and some of her powers. You still have to control them while you are here and not upset any balances. Especially Lena's." He told, sitting at the table.
"Lena's balance. As in Light and Dark." I sat down across from him.
"Yes."
Food appeared suddenly and we all started to eat. It was silent and very awkward. After breakfast, Macon called everyone he could and told them the story. Well not everyone. He didn't tell the gang. They would come here and I would have to.
I waited anxiously for them. I kept pacing, tapping my feet, and twisting my fingers. Macon didn't bother to tell me to stop. Then the door opened and I watched them file in. I glanced over them and finally had a face to put to the names.
The first I knew was Ridley Duchannes. She had blonde hair with pink stripes in it. She had on sunglass, a ripped tank top, and what I think was a skirt. She was also sucking on a red lollipop. The man on her arm had to be Link.
The couple behind them looked very similar. The strong looking man had short dark hair and green eyes. He must be John Breed. The girl next to him was tall and blonde. She must be Liv.
The man stumbling in behind them was the one that made me very nervous. He was pretty tall and had a decent build. His dark hair fell over and covered his brown eyes. However I could still see the worried look on his face and I feared on how he would respond to me. The man was Ethan Wate. The love of Lena's life.
