Reincarnated as a Villainess: All Eyes on Me

Chapter 1

[Chapter 1: A different world]

•>>---∘◦❁◦∘---(Elora / Brianna)

My right hand was shaking as I brought it closer to the mirror where I saw my reflection. I had long and wavy ash-colored hair, while my eyes were a vibrant purple.

Where's my straight black hair?!!! Where's my bland brown eyes?!!!

Who am I?!!!!

"AAaaAAaaaAaaAAAhhHHhh!!" I shrieked as I stumbled backwards falling on my butt.

Suddenly I heard footsteps outside and my door was forcefully opened making it slam on the wall.

"Princess Elora! Are you alright m'lady?!!"

"We heard screaming and.. and..."

A bustling group of maids came into my view but they stopped rattling as they assessed my position.

I was sitting on the floor as I stared at them wide-eyed.

"What the hell..." Was the only thing I said as I stood up and frantically ran outside the room.

Everything was different. From the fancy chandeliers, from the medieval looking decorations, and to this never-ending hallway that seems to be made of gold.

My eyes were wide as I frantically looked around for a way out. This is ridiculous. Was I experimented?! That probably explains my different appearance. But why am I inside a golden place.. even the face I had seems to be rich.

I heard footsteps running from behind me and I only figured that they were the maids I saw at the room I woke up in.

"Princess!! You have yet to change into proper clothing!!" I heard one of them shout but I didn't stop as I looked down at what I was wearing for a brief moment.

What are they talking about?! I'm wearing a white fancy looking dress! And why do they keep calling me princess?! What nonsense are they talking about?!!

I turned to the left hallway and when I saw a fancy looking stairs, I ran towards it but I wasn't looking at where I was going so I tripped and came rolling down the flight of stairs.

The next thing I knew... darkness consumed me.

===

"Bye Brianna~!!" My friend Chloe said waving around as she continued to down some more of her beer. Thank goodness her boyfriend was there or else she wouldn't have gotten home all by herself.

"Are you sure you're fine by yourself? Its already so late at night." My co-worker said and I nodded my head vigorously because I didn't wanna be treated like some weak girl.

"Don't worry!! I've been doing this for so long and nothing had happened to me!!" I said sluggishly as a result of the alcohol kicking in my veins.

They agreed and so I walked my way home. By home I mean my rundown apartment which has a broken bed, broken appliances, and a lot of holes here and there that made my room flood whenever it rained hard. But hey! I still managed!

Well my life isn't always like this. I used to live with my parents, but it wasn't any better.

My dad is on drugs and is rarely ever home while my mom beats me up. I didn't get to experience family love with them like what some movies and stories made me believe. My life just sucks big time!

And things escalated when I came out to them... I mean when my mom caught me kissing a girl on our front yard. She kicked me out, and I started to live together with my girlfriend at first, but I found out she was cheating with some guy so I moved out of there. It was hard especially because I felt something towards her and to leave her just like that... I sighed thinking about that memory.

I started fooling around. Trying lots of different stuffs because.. YOLO right? That's my motto in life after all..

I even got to try a few drugs (a/n: not advisable) but I thankfully didn't get addicted to it.

I didn't like my life but I still managed so what's the deal?

Suddenly someone wrapped their arms around my neck, stopping me in my tracks and making me break out of my trail of thoughts. I didn't get to comprehend what was happening when a sharp pointy knife was directed at my neck.

"Move an inch and this knife will go straight to your throat!" I heard a man spoke and I gulped as I stood still.

"What do you want from me?!" I asked not quivering nor stuttering.

"Give me your money." He said and I could've shut up for the sake of my life but me and my annoying mouth wasn't gonna keep the logic that came in my mind.

"I thought you said that if I moved you'd stab me with your knife. How am I suppose to get the money then?!" I grinned and oh my lord curse this fool mouth of my mine!! It's gonna get me killed!!!!

I then felt him press the knife slightly harder on my throat so I kept my mouth shut after that.

"One more word and I'll end your life right here and now!" He threatened. "Now give me your money if you want to live!!" He continued and I started sweating profusely when I felt blood dripping from my neck.

But even if my life was on the line I still refused to give this stranger the little money that I had. I worked hard for this you know!!

So I pretended as if I was getting my wallet from my pocket when in reality I was thinking of a way out. Then a thought hit me.

I stepped on his foot as hard as I could which caused him to scream and let me go. I could've ran right then and there while he was still regaining his composure but no!! Me and my silly self still wanted to fight.

I couldn't fully control my body because of the alcohol I had drank earlier. And even if a huge part in my head was telling me to fight this man I still would've listened to that small part saying to run and leave this man be. But its as if my body was moving on its own as I found myself tackling the man to the ground as I gripped his neck hard.

I would've choked him but I don't have my full strength due to being tipsy so instead I was only holding his neck.

Suddenly I felt something sharp on my stomach and the next thing I knew, the man shrugged me off to the ground as he stood up, taking my wallet from my pocket.

I felt blood rise from my throat and I coughed and chocked. I looked down at my stomach and I almost passed out from the sight of my gushing blood, but before I could do so, I quickly looked away and focused on the man instead.

"Dumb b*tch doesn't even have any money!" He spat as he kept searching my wallet, even taking out my identification card.

I couldn't help but feel disdain on myself as I knew I would die in a frivolous way. I didn't even have any money to begin with!! So me dying because of it was all for naught.

How embarrassing...

As I felt myself slowly slip out of consciousness, the last remaining words slipped out of my mouth.

"You said neck... but you did it on my.. stomach instead..." I chuckled stupidly as my eyes slowly started to get dark.

Before slipping out of consciousness the last thing I thought was..

'Would my life be any different if I was rich?'

===

I found myself opening my eyes when I heard birds chirping and trees rustling. As my blurry vision slowly started to focus, I was met with a cream-colored ceiling and a.. a chandelier?

I haven't seen a chandelier in my whole entire life!! And seeing one now in front of me, I couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

Wait, where the heck am I?!

I'm alive?!!

I groaned when I felt a sharp pain from my head.

I looked around the extravagantly fancy looking room with wide eyes. Everything around me looks hella rich! Its like I'm in a castle!! Even the bed I was in was really really HUGE!!!

"P-princess.. THE PRINCESS IS AWAKE!!!" I closed my eyes shut when that intolerable shriek brought pain in my ears.

I didn't even realize that someone was in the room with me. I looked at her direction and saw her sitting on a chair near the door; she looked like she had woke up so I only figured that she was sleeping - obviously.

I then heard rushing of feet, and soon after, I found myself staring by a handful of maids - well their not that many, there were only four of them but it still intimidated me somehow.

They were looking at me with worry and I couldn't help but stare back in a daze. I'm still shocked and confused with what's happening.

Seriously where am I?! Do maids nowadays still has uniforms??

"Princess Elora." I looked to the side and saw a man-or rather a doctor. He bowed and I could only stare with furrowed brows.

Wha-?

"Do you feel pain anywhere?!" The doctor said while examining me with his soft looking eyes.

I didn't know what to answer but the question I had on my mind was the only thing I could think of so that's what I said instead.

"Where am I?" I said and was slightly shocked by how croaked my voice was. Its as if I've been sleeping for a long time that I wasn't able to use my voice which caused for it to become in this state.

"Uhm.. you fell down the stairs remember?... You were asleep for 3 days, everybody was so worried..." One of the maids said and I only stared at her while trying to process what she said.

"We were shocked that you woke up after a month of being in a coma. But you ran all of a sudden... we were really worried about you..."

What? One month??

All of a sudden, the memory of what happened before waking up flashed in my mind. I then jolted up from shock which caused my head to ache. I touched it and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion when I felt fabric.

The maids must've noticed my confusion because one of them said, "You hit your head when you fell down the stairs m'lady."

"Keep laying down if you still feel headaches, princess Elora. You mustn't exert yourself or else you'll only worsen your condition." The doctor informed to which I slightly nodded while laying down.

"I will inform the maids the medicine prescriptions to give you to lessen your headaches. Other than that, don't move around and rest. I'll come back after three days to check your condition and see if you can go out and exploring again." The doctor said and I listened carefully while trying to act calm in this predicament I was in.

"Well then... I'll take my leave princess Elora." The doctor bowed then took his leave.

As soon as he got out, the maids then turned their attention to me.

"We too will leave princess. So you can rest peacefully by yourself." One of them said.

"If you need anything, just ring the bell in your bedside table and we'll come right away to assist you with anything." Another one said and they all bowed at once then left.

As soon as I was alone I heaved a heavy sigh.

I decided not to panic this time as I held my right hand up towards the ceiling, clenching and unclenching, reaching out to practically nowhere.

I then remembered what they had called me and I dropped my hand when the name princess Elora rung a bell.

Princess Elora? Do they mean princess Elora Zandria?!

Am I dreaming...? Wait.. can the dead still dream??

"Ah!" I hissed when I felt pain in my head and that's when I confirmed that this really was real.

This isn't a dream...

Nor was I dead.....

I really had reincarnated in Only Yours.

"I thought YOLO right?" I said in exasperation. How is this even possible?! There's no scientific and logical explanation in how this has happened!!

If this is true.. then that means that every other stuffs that we thought wasn't real could be true as well!!

Waitt!!

What if... What if I'm not even real?! What if I this is all part of a simulation and I'm nothing but an AI?!!! 

I shook my head and slapped both of my cheeks.

Focus Brianna!! This is no time to think about nonsense... even the AI part doesn't even make any sense. For now, I have to rethink everything that I know about Only Yours.

Okay, so I remember reading that book on the school library when I was in elementary. It was one of my favorite books back then and I may not remember the full story, but I still remember the plot though.

I remember that the female protagonist is called Angelina... uhmm.. Angelina Cyril! She was a kind and humble commoner that's why many men liked her. She has many love interest but the only one she ended up with is Elijah Heisenberg. A well known son of the duke.

Elijah didn't plan to be the next duke at all, but not until he meets Angelina. He wanted to be the next duke just because he wanted Angelina to have a good life and he needed a title for that. So he went as far as battling with his older brother who is to be the next duke in the house Heisenberg.

Thinking about it now... I died at such a young age. I was only 27. I still have many dreams and things to experience. I guess this is the God's way in giving me a second chance in life...

BUT WHY DID HE PUT ME IN THE BODY OF ELORA ZANDRIA?!!

WHY THE VILLAINESS WHO'S ONLY GONNA DIE BY THE HANDS OF THE PROTAGONISTS?!!!

AARRGGHHHHH!!!

Why must I suffer so?

I sighed...

Elora Zandria de Alder Aeanthra.. the third and the only daughter of the Imperial family.

She got everything! Looks, money, social status, and fame. The only downfall to her is her personality. She's sly and cunning. A mischievous girl who's only putting up a front to fool others.

But those who knows her personally, knows. Even the castle maids knew about this negative trait of her. But they don't look down on her. In fact, they do the opposite! They look up to her.. because she's only a b*tch to those she wants to b*tch around. And that is none other than the female protagonist.

Why you ask??? Why does she hate the protagonist even though she's full of sparkles and rainbows??

Its all because of love...

I sighed yet again as I shook my head.

Because of her feelings that caused her to do stupid actions; love led her to her demise.

And by the hands of all the male leads!!!

Her brothers didn't even step in when she was about to get beheaded. Because they hated her!!! Even the maids who looked up to her wasn't able to do anything. And her so called 'friends' didn't stood up for her.

And it's all because of love...

LOVE I TELL YOU!!

I smiled bitterly at the thought of love when I remembered the girl I once thought I loved.

I shook my head at the thought as I slapped both of my cheeks.

The past isn't what matters right now! I should worry more about my survival.

If I were to be reborn as the villainess then I was more likely to die!!

I would not accept such fate!!!

I refuse!!!! I already died once, so dying for the second time is just too much!! And I didn't even do anything in this world to receive such fate.

And so I devised a plan while laying still on the bed, laughing every now and then at the ideas I thought of.

The only problem I'm gonna have is I would likely be getting attention. Because Elora and me are

 completely opposites!!!

She's so ladylike while I'm... well.. I'm a tomboy so I guess you can kinda get the picture.

I'll probably just embarrass myself, I can already see it!

And despite me remembering her memories, I wouldn't know how to hold the teacup properly nor do I know how to execute proper noble dances!

What a dilemma! Uggh!!!

But there's one thing I'm sure of...!

I would never, and I mean EVER, be looked down upon just because I'm a girl.

Because looking around the place, I could only guess that girls are underestimated here. Like those medieval eras where they don't give women rights to go to school in fear of overruling them if they ever did learn.

While executing my glorious not-dying plan, I'm gonna show everyone that being a woman is not as bad as they think they are.

Just you wait new world!!
