    She had a moment to force herself to stand up. Her leg was killing her but she was glad she didn't have to see the hands anymore, or hear them. If this was only the first part of her journey, she clearly had a reason to be a bit terrified over what would happen next to her
    xx
    "Sweet... Caroline..."
    Her stood up straight as she whispered, "Bum bum buumm."
    She looked at the mirror attacked to her hand and for a moment saw her own reflection and she sung, "Good times... never seemed so good. So good! So good! So good!"
    x
    Caroline smiled and laughed as she sang, "I've been inclined... bum bum bum... To believe it never would... oh... nooo...nooo."
    x
    Caroline laughed again as her mood got better. She was going to hopeful and cheerful if anything, despite the pain in her leg.

    xLittle birdy's gone insane
    "What is this game?" she whispered to herself as she made the bed she had just slept in. She didn't want to be rude, although in reality she was a slob.
    xShe doesn't know it yet, but she is
    Bronagh's hat fell off and she felt her phone vibrate. The police were trying to call her, she wasn't responding. She wouldn't dare answer the phone, she was sick of them.
    xI hope she doesn't mind being an orphan
    This is a waste of my time... my mother is dead... and I am sitting here in a house for no reason except that I followed an email from a girl who claims to be from the future? Maybe she is insane!
    xI hope she doesn't mind crying
    My mom could be alive right now...
    I always called her names... insulted her...
    But she was my mom... she watched over me while dad was dead... even if a poor job.
    How do I repay her? I run off... to find a girl though a Tumblr message!
    xBut is this birdy low enough to commit suicide?
    Bronagh left the room she had been a guest in. Her hat was still in the room but she didn't bother to get it... she was too distressed.
    xWant to place a bet?
    Stop it Bronagh you are better than this.
    xI'm the one controlling her, is that even fair?
    Bronagh stopped herself and closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she felt her forehead. She was coping with this the wrong way, but why was she here? What the hell was wrong with her?
    xDo you really think
    Was her mother's death not more important than this game?
    xI have any control over my character's fate?
    Was this game some form of chessboard or something?
    Did this girl, Marina, get high playing The Game of Life?
    I wasn't even at the coffee shop long enough to have things explained to me.
    xHow about we don't bet
    Bronagh looked around and brushed her hair in front of her face.
    xwe just wait to see what others do.
    This is a big house...

    "No."
    "Miss Williamson, you have us your word. Where are you?"
    "I'm in Brookridge."
    "Where?"
    x
    Bronagh was not crying, and she was not trembling anymore. She was now sitting emotionless on the floor with the phone to her ear, she whispered back to them, "I am in a house."
    "An address?"
    "A zip code?"
    "Miss Williamson we wish for you to cooperate with us."
    "Give me the day... give me the day to calm down."
    "We need you now, you are currently an orphan residing in a house you do not wish to identify. We legally have you listed as a runaway."
    "That's right I'm a runaway..."
    "Miss Williamson!"
    "You can track my phone can you not? Do police not have the ability to track a phone?"
    Bronagh was silent again as she spoke, "Please just give me the day. I will head home tonight."
    x
    She did not wait for a reply. After she hung up the phone she sat on the floor for a little while. She stood up and dusted off her pants and kept forcing herself to breath deep breaths. She felt her hat falling off and chose not to fix it.

    Why am I here? I have no reason to be here. Am I wanted? Am I needed... I don't want to be here.

    She remembered that she forgot to shut off her phone last night when it rung and woke her up.
    Bronagh sat up irritated, it was so early in the morning. Her mother shouldn't be awake at this point and no one would have called her at this hour without it being something important.
    x
    She could not recognize the number when she pulled up the phone, she stared at it until it stopped ringing. Not long after though it started again. Bronagh stood up from her bed and rubbed her eyes as she answered the phone, "Hello?"
    x
    "Good morning miss, sorry for calling you at this early in the day. May I speak with Bronagh Williamson?"
    "This is Bronagh Williamson."
    "You are not at home?"
    "No I am... at a friend's house."
    "Is there any way we could pick you up? We would appreciate an address along with whoever your secondary guardian is."
    "Why? Is something wrong?"
    "We would rather discuss this face to face with you."
    "Who is this?"
    "This is the Coy City Police Department."
    x
    Bronagh went silent for a really long time "hello?s" and "are you still there?s" were in the background as she tried to regain composure. "I would prefer to be told now... so there is not stress or worry on me."
    "Where are you currently residing?"
    x
    They are dancing around my question.

    "Miss, we need to find you. You are our number 1 priority at this moment in this situation."
    "I will tell you if you tell me what is going on..."
    "Miss-"
    "Please." she said quickly. There was a long pause in the background and she almost knew what was coming up next.
    x
    "Miss Williamson... your mother Rosemarie Williamson was killed in an accident last night... we will tell you more details about it when we have you in our care."
    x
    Bronagh's hand shook as her phone fell to the ground. She quickly attempted to maintain her composure. She was not doing well at it. Bronagh lowered herself to the floor and sat on the ground as she picked up the phone and struggled to speak, "I-I think I understand..."
    x
    "We are very truly sorry for your loss."

    Who exactly IS this girl?
    Bronagh was led to a room and she found herself just standing in the doorway for the longest time. She still did not know what this game was and now wondered why she was even here.
    She felt her pocket vibrate again and she checked to see her mother was calling her. She closed her eyes and shut the door behind her before she answered, "Hello?"
    "Bronagh, I need you to come pick me up..."
    "I'm not home mom..."
    "What?! Bitch, I told you to stay home."
    "Call a taxi... you don't need me to carry you."
    "I don't like taxis."
    "You will have to deal mom."
    "No no, I'll find another way... I'm not as drunk as I think... I mean you think..."
    "Be safe mom..."
    "You better be home when I get there...."
    Bronagh listened to the phone hang up as she sat on the unfamiliar bed to her, why was she even here? Did she really believe these silly messages? What game?
    She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes.
    If she remembers the future and doesn't know if I believe in this game that started... did this happen in my timeline? What if I'm not supposed to be here? What if something happens.
    Bronagh fell asleep quickly despite these thoughts rolling through her mind.

    She was impressed at how quickly the 1st load was pulled together.
    She looked around and tried to fit more onto the cart, but knew if she overstuffed things were bound to fall out. She couldn't just drop crops heading straight to royalty. It's like sinning in a church.
    The men were arguing over who gets to bring in the 1st batch, almost in a feud. Clumsy was so close to punching Red-eye in the head it was freaking her out.
    "Stop!"
    Everyone silenced immediately as she shouted, "Whilst thou are on my land, thoust are in my kingdom under my rule, unless otherwise like thy King and Queen in a visit." she slowly tamed the two horses strapped to the cart. "Subsequent to this discussion, I shall bring in first crop with one other."
    The men were quiet as she walked towards them, "How worthy are ye each?"
    She passed each of them as though she were Captain or something, she stopped and pointed at 3rd man in line, "Hairless... thou are 2nd in command, I trust thee the most with protection of thy land. Grasshair." she turned to him and bowed slightly, "Thou shall bring 1st load with thyself."
    The men got made and stirred between each other before she yelled back, "Less thou want to be jobless, thy suggest ye shut yer traps."
    They all were silent immediately before she spoke again smiling, "All have thy trust... dost thou test thy trust."
    She shook her head as she yelled again on top of the horse, "I hate having to speak so formally at you all. Please, I owe you all each for everything, but fighting over something like this is the easiest way to find yourselves in town with a sign selling your skills for meager change. Toothless if you so much as chuckle at that I will tell your wife."
    She shook her head as she watched him cover his mouth, "I am not kidding you."
    She waited for Grasshair to be ready as she spoke, "Very well. Start preparing the next cart as we are gone."
    They all waved as they headed off towards town. She was not changing before she left but she did wash her hands and face at least to not look dirty. She made Grasshair do the same before he had gotten on the 2nd horse.
    When they made it into the village she stopped to check and see if the crops were all still there. They were and she heard Grasshair shout, "Are these being used for the King of Lazinth's arrival today?"
    "All I know is that these crops go straight to the castle and the sooner, the more reliable we are, the better off we are."
    She jumped back onto the horse after re-securing the batch. When they got to the castle they stopped at the entrance to the storage and kitchen. Although she did not know if they were ordered to or not, many of the workers helped them to carry some to storage and some to kitchen. When almost done Keeva had to sit down for a moment.
    "Are you well miss?" asked one of the workers.
    She really was not, she had not drunk water at all today. One of her first mistakes. However she nodded to the worker and spoke, "Yes." She said although her voice did hold a bit of doubt, the worker didn't catch it and they continued.

    "Bronagh. I was not expecting your arrival."
    She didn't jump but she turned her head to the girl speaking to her a bit quickly.
    "Please, come and join us. I must say, I have not seen you since the helicopter crash. It would appear as if your legs are currently fine."
    At that moment she looked down at her legs for a moment but decided not to question anything. Unless they were fond of pulling jokes involving injuries, she had little doubt what she was saying was a lie.
    This girl is lucky I am a little gullible.
    She wanted to reply, but she didn't know her and went into her shyness state. Although it might not have been clearly noticeable. This wasn't the best time for her to pull a hyper act either. So she obediently followed her to the group of people, not really like a puppy or anything, more so like a little kid. She didn't really care either, what was she going to lose?
    Although she had reached the table of people, she nodded a hello at them but didn't sit down. She still felt the need to stand. She didn't know whether or not she would be filled in with whatever was already discussed, she really didn't care if she was or not. The message she had sent out seemed like a rather urgent thing.
    At the same time though she felt like she didn't belong and was not wanted there.

    She finally got off the monorail and it was dark out. She looked up at the towering school and was amazed by it's structure.
    I need to get home tonight... when is the last train?
    I don't know...
    Bronagh adjusted her hat and sighed, today she happened to be wearing stylish clothing compared to what she usually wears. It was laundry day, and they were one of the few outfits she had clean. She turned on her phone and loaded Google Maps, she used it to find the coffee shop.
    When she got there she looked around and realized at that moment she had no idea who she was looking for. Bronagh sighed and kicked her legs and looked back at her phone messages from this girl named Marina. At that moment she noticed the end of the message.

    Body Swapping?

    Brookridge.
    How the hell am I supposed to get to Brookridge in a decent amount of time?
    I better start now.
    Bronagh ran inside her house and went back into her room, she grabbed her wallet and a couple of smaller things liker her pocket notebook. Her phone was dying.
    She walked down stairs to see her mother sprawled out on the kitchen floor singing Nobody Knows the Trouble I've seen
    Bronagh was about to sneak out the door before she heard in a drunken slur, "Wherer ya goin?"
    "Mom it's not even 2pm."
    "Sumweer its two peeemm."
    "I'm heading to Brookridge."
    "Like hell ya are. I am partyin tonight I need you here to pick mee up buttercup."
    "Didn't you say you wanted me out of the house?"
    Her mother swung out a punch which Bronagh ducked, she pointed and said, "Call a taxi."
    "I amm yer muther, whut I say goes on. Sit yer ass down."
    "I'm just going to go outside for some air."
    "Aright." She said as she collapsed back down onto the ground.
    Bronagh quickly left the house and jogged over to a bus stop and took the bus to the Monorail station. When she got to the monorail she bought a ticket and got on. She tapped her foot impatiently as the monorail finally took off. Bronagh stood up and started moving her legs.
    "Maam are you okay?"​
    "Yeah I'm just in the mood to stand. I'd dance, but there's no music."
    "Don't start playing any."​
    "I don't intend to."

    Teagan picked up One and put it in her bag before she left. Her blue phone? She didn't care what happened to it at this point. She still had her money for Rosalie, but she had this urge to just go home.
    She didn't make it far before she had to make a statement. And she wasn't doing well with the cop infested atmosphere.
    Why do you all care what I have to say... is it so you can just take me away like I'm some sort of criminal? Admittedly, I did do things wrong... and now someone I don't know well at all is in the hospital...
    Teagan didn't go look for others, she went home and went straight to her workshop. She pulled a beer out of the fridge and drew out a blueprint for a new idea she had, but kept eying the project she had been working on for a couple of years now.
    Project S.I.M.O.N... it can wait until later...
    She finished her blueprint and got straight to work.

    She looked up at the cliff and decided the best thing was to climb up it further. With the mirror still stuck on her hand she began the climb. At first it was rather simple, then she started to feel like she was being tugged down. She kept going, ignoring whatever it may have been. Then after one large tug she finally looked.
    x
    Hands. They are grabbing me.
    "LET GO."

    Stay with us....
    Stay here with us...
    Suffer with us...

    Caroline kept pulling herself up the cliff, but this time was moving faster and faster as more hands appeared out of the cliff. She wanted to scream but did not wish to attract attention. One of the arms grabbed her leg and pulled it in closer towards the cliff. Into the rock. Causing her incredible pain, as the tugged her leg down at the same time.
    x
    Tears were in her eyes as she kicked them off. She couldn't feel her left leg anymore as she climbed up, when she reached the top of the cliff, she climbed up and closed her eyes grabbing hold of her leg.
    x
    Come back...
    Don't you leave...
    No one ever leaves...
    Have fun with our little friend.
    x
    "Little Friend?"
    x
    She opened her eyes to coming about to crush her. She rolled quickly away from the edge of the cliff and attempted to stand up. Her leg was making this very difficult.
    x
    Caroline's eyes met the creature and she grabbed her leg as she collapsed to the ground, "You are not little, my friend."

    She had left just before the sun rose and borrowed a horse from a friend in town.
    x
    Already she had stuff she needed to deliver, with all the feasts they would be having within the next two-three nights. She got home fast and was asked questions which she answered, she did feel bad, as it was their one time of year to party, but this was one of the best things that could happen for their farm.
    x
    They were all, actually, more excited about working for the Kingdom then they were dancing around for the next week or so. Keeva changed back into her farming clothes and they started to load up a carriage. They have plenty of horses on the farm, but when she brought the crops back into town she would have to return her friend's horse.
    x
    She asked one of her workers, who they all called Fast, for 3 reasons. One was because he always fasted on sundays, the 2nd was because he was always the fastest at harvesting crops, and the 3rd was a joke between the men that they always wouldn't tell her. She had a good idea...
    x
    Either way, Keeva asked Fast if his son could drive the horse back into town and he nodded and sent him off. She did not know his name but she knew he was twelve.
    x
    One of the issues they were having today were the birds. Clumsy, another worker, was running around like crazy scaring them off. She sighed and joined in with him, but it was a fruitless effort.
    x
    "And sir, whatever happened to our straw men?"
    "We fed them to the horses, straw is low."
    "And thoust never told me?"
    "Thou were gone."
    "For hours after night."
    x
    She grew angry and assembled men of sticks and put them in the field. They didn't work as well until she put a farmer hat on them.
    x
    "Makeshift found a way!"
    "Twas needed."
    x
    Every farmer had a nickname, her's was Makeshift. Why? When she was little she would make little things that helped out the farm at last minute. Her original nickname was Old-soul due to how "wise" she was for her age. It changed to Makeshift when she was Thirteen and built the left wall of stone when many took the bricks away due to a storm.
    x
    Keeva kept loading the carts that they had with the crops, she wasn't tired, this was daily work. She heard a fiddle off in the distance, she assumed it was either Fast's wife or her father in his room playing the fiddle. Either way it made for good background noise.

    She felt her pocket vibrate just as she rolled up to her house garage. It was interesting for her, she never got messages, or... rarely got messages. She reached into her pocket assuming it was an update for an app or something and she groaned at how slow it was loading.
    When it loaded she raised an eyebrow at the message.​
    A game?
    What game?
    This isn't spam is it?
    Whatever, that would make a day...
    She sat down on her stairs and typed up a reply. But after waiting a while for the message she grew impatient. She also kept having the urge to stand up.
    After a few minutes she walked outside for some air and stretched. She looked over to her garden which at the moment was dead due to it being winter, except a couple of her trees that never lost it's leaves. Bronagh walked slowly down her driveway and looked down the street.
    Maybe it was just spam after all and I'm just waiting for nothing to happen.
    It's a good idea for a book.

    She wasn't sure how to accept that offer at first.
    Keeva did not know if curtseying again would make her look rude or inexperienced with meetings, which she was, but she curtseyed again anyway as she spoke, "If it is no trouble on you, I would like to accept your offer of the guest chamber."
    She knew it was a decently long ride, let along walk, back to the farm. Surely her father would be taken care of by the men who were there. Keeva was still nervous though, and at this point it was a little clear in the way her motions flowed.

    "Bronagh, I can't legally let you miss much more school. It'll make me look bad as a parent."
    x
    You already are a bad parent.

    "I know your uncle's death hurt you, but you need to face the sad reality that he is gone and he is not coming back."
    She lifted up the shirt and looked over at her mother saying, "I know he's not coming back, I just don't want to start crying in the middle of classes."
    "Bronagh, I bought you that hair dye 2 days ago, and you said once it was on you were heading back."
    She put the shirt back on her eyes again and spoke, "Why does it matter if I go back? No one is missing me... no one ever misses me."

    "Shut up you ungrateful brat. Get up."

    Bronagh sighed and sat up in bed and walked over to her mother with her hands in her pockets, she looked up at her and spoke quickly, "Yes?"

    "Go to school."
    "It's not a school day mom."

    She put on a coat and walked outside looking around, she breathed in fresh air and then shivered. She walked over to her garage and got a bicycle whispering to herself, "Go outside you need sunlight? It's not like I've been locking myself in my room all day or anything."
    x
    She pushed the bike a bit and hopped on and started pedaling down the street.

    "With your father ill and you running the farm in his place must be hard. Many must be saying that as a woman you should let another take charge and yet you do not kneel to their wills."
    Accurate. Very accurate.
    She would have applauded that conclusion, it was spot on, however she held her applause forever. Clapping would just seem completely out of place.
    "This is what caught my attention. Such an admirable quality should be rewarded, or least defended. And a contract with myself would do just that. No deal is fit unless both sides gain something, so crops will be needed for the wedding. Perhaps even to feed our troops. What say you?"
    She was stunned at this, it was not what she had expected at all to come out of this meeting, she couldn't help but smile for a second before she forced herself to stay serious. She curtseyed and bowed her head slightly saying, "It would be an honor to serve the kingdom in that way, Your Majesty."

    Sickness.
    She seemed to get it at the worst times possible.
    At least this time she hadn't wheeled herself out of the house.
    Bronagh wasn't necessarily sleepy sick, she just didn't want to move. She boiled herself a cup of tea and propped up a temporary table next to her bed. She didn't want to check her phone for emails, but she did anyway. One of the messages she received was about the email, from a kid named Theodore...
    wait... Theodore?
    She remembered Theodore!
    During the body swapping, he was the one with Marina and herself. She had totally forgotten about him.... but at that moment she got concerned for Marina...
    Oh man I hope you are alright wherever you are...
    Send to: Theodore Walden
    Subject: Re: Weird email?
    Message: Hello, I am Bronagh Williamson. We met during the whole body swapping thing, I was in Marina Sario's body... Unfortunately I happen to be sick today. If there is a way to get whatever is discussed sent to me afterwards it would be very much appreciated.
    Bronagh coughed as she leaned back in her bed and sipped the tea again, for the girl with the unusually healthy immune system, she sure was getting sick a lot lately.

    When she was finally sent in she realized she knew little to no etiquette when it came to being present in front of Royalty... she hoped, prayed to the lord that at least the Queen would somewhat understand. All she knew was to wait to be addressed and a few other things.
    x
    When she got up in front of the King and Queen, she curtseyed and then a couple of introduction questions were asked. She said her name and then was asked a question by the Queen.
    x
    "Could you tell me a bit about your farm?"
    x
    That was a bit unexpected.
    x
    She wanted to clear her throat before she spoke, but she felt it was rude, so she tried to speak in as clear of a voice as she could, "Massey farm has been around for about twenty years now. Twas run by my father, Sceolan Massey, before he fell ill recently. We are a wheat farm mainly, but we also grow other vegetables. A while we raised chickens and sold the eggs, then the chickens fell ill and now we solely remain a crop-based farm."
    x
    There was more she could have said, she could have described the worker's kind attitude towards the work as well as the current success of the wheat crop during the first harvest, but she felt keeping her speech short was the best she could do at that moment.
