1 Other Dimension

After two weeks of traveling, we finally found a new residence.

The worst place in the known world, a place where no one in their right mind would dare to enter unless they wanted to die.

The old abandoned mental hospital in the mountains on the other side of the country, Sunnyside Asylum, is the best as everyone avoids the area believing it cursed.

The stories that surround this building and the adjacent cemetery date back more than 100 years. They say that the worst of the massacres at the hands of a serial murderer and a fanatic sectarian took place here. He came in and shot everyone at point-blank range and then burned the site down and performed strange rituals in the cemetery and then hung himself in the chapel.

Since that day, no one has re-entered without having an exorcist priest or a saint with them. The paranormal phenomena that have arisen gave him an undeserved fame. But what nobody knows, which is what produces these effects, is nothing less than a mutant tree that creates hallucinations.

I know because this is a story I read when I was working, rather a novel called "Sharon Rose" that my boss's daughter wrote and gave us as a gift.

I worked as a freelancer to pay for my expenses and also saved to open a tattoo shop. The day I came back from a competition in Amsterdam, I opened the door and when I entered the hostel I put down my bags and I thought I had gone to the wrong place. I appeared in a huge room decorated in the Victorian solarpunk style.

I turned around and the exit door became a closet. I lowered the backpack that was heavy enough to find my cell phone and I noticed that my body shrunk and the clothes I was wearing were huge.

-But what...-

I walked over to a full-length mirror in the corner of the room and a little girl was staring at me. She had long blonde brown hair and aquamarine green eyes but what struck me the most was that this image was very familiar to me.

-I rejuvenated! Wait, maybe I'm hallucinating or did I die? Impossible, I was very much alive when I heard Manchester's goal in the pub! -

I cursed and hitting the furniture, because I didn't know where I was. This was a new reality that I did not know and the view out the window was literally another world. An immense garden illuminated by lanterns and a fountain decorated with angels was glorious.

-It's like the stories where people cross into another dimension! This is real. I appreciate not having pets, although it is a pity because I had tickets for Tomorrowland-

When I heard footsteps, I hid my things and ran to bed to pretend to be asleep.

Some women dressed as maids came in to turn off the lights and close the curtains.

-She make such a fuss over her sister's gift and hit her. No wonder not even her stepmother tolerates her.-

-Either they punish her or she hides to sleep, she is only a shame for the Millefiori family. It is good that Mr. Enzo is going to commit her soon, we will be free when she leaves! -The maids left after criticizing the girl

-Enzo Millefiori? .... Oh shit! Don't tell me...that horrible story about that pair of idiot lovers? -

I went through the cabinets and drawers to get rid of the doubts that became a true and unpleasant fact.

I ended up as the villain Fiorella Millefiori who happened to have her birthday today. From what I heard, it must be her 10th birthday and this is when her life starts to get ruined. First the commitment to the hero's moron, followed by the abuses and ends with the execution of the witch Fiorella, my death!

No, not that. If I could escape from my house, who assures you that I will not do it again. If today was the fight, it means that in three days they will put a rope around my neck to give to my executioner, then I have no choice; I'll escape to a place where no one will look for me

I woke up but was still sleepy. The maids dressed me for breakfast with my pseudo family who were a bunch of weirdos dressed for Halloween in quirky clothes.

-Good morning father- Pía and her brother Donato greeted politely

-...- Enzo looked at me as if waiting for my reaction when I realized that he was expecting a greeting

-Eh ... yeah, the same- I didn't feel like talking to a guy who hates his firstborn

-You will have to study the etiquette if you want to go to the Vicenzo party- stepmother Lía was not far behind

-Whatever- I'm going away soon, so...manners can go to hell..

My Insult was left in the middle when breakfast was put on the table. I devoured the sausage plate with orange juice without fear of retaliation. It was a luxury compared to what I ate before.

They looked at me like a stranger ... wait, I am. Without relatives or friends I am practically cuddling here, let's abuse!

Enzo saw his daughter behaving like a savage and when he finished breakfast, she got up without asking permission and left. He ordered the servants that his daughter be sent to his office to speak.

The girl was distracted and uninterested in the reproaches, causing her father to doubt. He thought she was doing it to get his attention because of her problem with her sister the day before, so, he handed her birthday present.

-Take it, it's yours- Enzo placed the box on the table and waited -Huh ?! And what is this? -I had not the faintest idea that he gave me, so I shook it when I felt that there was something inside and I tried to open it but it was sealed

-What are you doing? - With an annoyed tone he asked

-Hey ... I don't want this shit. Give it to someone else- a rare box that can't be opened, I don't want to know what's inside, so I got up and gave it back

-Fiorella, what do you think you're doing? -His anger increased

-Nah ...- when he took the box he was going to complain, so I left. Enzo was dumbfounded at the behavior and looked at the box his late wife left for his daughter.

-Why?- He stroked the designs and the runic name and looked out the window.

He sent his assistant to gather information about his daughter's movements throughout the day, and what he received was curious and surprising. The girl took a nap . After she went into the kitchen to prepare something to eat, she spoke with the employees and asked what the exterior was like, precisely, the city and the surroundings to finish her having a snack sitting on the ground with the hounds.

When Donato went to play a prank on her, she got up and gave him a punch that made him fall. At dinner she was bored playing with her food and looked away not to speak to anyone until bedtime.

-She behaves just as violent as the late madam. But she acts strange, as if she does not know anything, rather she does not know anything about the management of the mansion, even my name was changed to snooty penguin, my lord- the butler delivered his report

-Rouben, do you know what this box is? -

-Yes my lord, anyone in the temple would know that it is a blessing box. But shouldn't he give it to its owner?-

-She refused to accept it. She left it and withdrew without opening it.-

-That?! But that means ...-

-Tomorrow ask her to come, she has to receive it and answer what is happening- Both men said goodbye until the next day.

-Marianne, she ended up hating me, as much as you to me. I should have paid more attention- Enzo shook his head and went to sleep

Very late at night, everyone slept and without noticing that the girl grabbed her things, she left the house with a juicy loot, too far to avoid being destroyed. Walking down the road and pushing her heavy wheeled suitcases, she hitchhiked trucks until someone let her get on.

-What is a girl doing in the middle of nowhere at this time of night? - The driver saw a girl with short blue hair with strange clothes

-Good evening and thank you, I am Wendy Knox a pleasure. I just came from a tattoo competition and nobody wanted to take me-

-Hey?! You are very small, don't you think? -

-Seem to you? If you take me away, I'll give you an amazing tattoo as payment- The driver laughed when he saw how the girl took out her book to show him her works.

It was still necessary for Wendy to manage to flee as far as she could to fulfill her dream without dying.
