Chapter 2: One
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The water continued to drop on the water's surface. The sound that it makes made Jannah irritated, causing her to stir awake.
"Stop that noise!" She exclaimed, eyes wide open and glaring at no one in particular.
"You're finally awake, my lady!" Lucienta beamed an optimistic smile towards her mistress. She has long pink hair and emerald green eyes with brown skin and freckles. Her personal maid has her hair in a twin tail, just like how she likes it.
Lucienta..? Jannah stared at her with wide eyes, a heavy and unsettling feeling on her guy, but she died three years ago..
The sight of her maid alive, healthy, and smiling, seemingly not aware of what happened to her three years ago, made the Countess questioned her sanity. However, despite the cheery appearance of Lucienta, she couldn't shake off her anxiety because of the fact that she woke up in her mansion in the capital where the outbreak first started.
"What is today's date, Lucienta?" Jannah asked, eyes looking around her room, taking a mental note that everything looked exactly like it was before the outbreak happened.
"Today..?" The maid tilted her head as she thought about it, "It's the 15th of June, my lady."
"15th? What year? Rat year?"
"Yes, my lady." Lucienta affirmed, a confused smile on her face while wondering why her mistress is asking about the date.
Jannah's eyes widened and she immediately shot up from her bed, "Quick, send a letter to my little sister and get her to come home as soon as she can! It's preferable if she can make it home by tomorrow morning!"
Startled by Jannah's strange behavior, the maid could only stand there and stare at her.
"Now, Lucienta!" Jannah barked.
"Yes, my lady!" The maid squeaked out before she ran out of Jannah's room.
It's June 15th of the rat year which means I came back in time and that means.. Jannah immediately made her way towards her desk, grabbing a pen and paper from the drawer, I only have a week to gather supplies before the first horde of infected infiltrate the capital!
Jannah was quick to list all the shops and people that she will visit and contact for the next three days.
"I'll take Jeriel and my people with me to the base in four days so I need a lot of supplies that will last us for months." She mumbled to herself, scribbling her pen against the paper, "I need weapons, food, herbals.. People with experiences."
Jannah's eyebrows furrowed at the thought of people working with her. Juan's betrayal left a mark on her memory from her previous life. He led them out of the base she created and led the undead inside, that place was protected and safe for the people.. So, what could have made them change their mind and turn their backs on her?
I don't care anymore. She thought bitterly, I'll get my revenge on Juan before I leave, but first, I have to go out and meet people that I will need.
Thus, the start of her busy day.
