Twisted Reality - Book 1

Ch.1 Is This Real?

Sometimes I wish I was in an anime, ya know? I mean, ever since that bitch of a woman came into my life, it's been nothing but hell. Sure. She's nice to me around my father, but when he's gone, her true colors are revealed. All she ever does is abuse me... If I don't do what she says, I pay for it in the end. I sighed, my headphones in my ears as I was watching something on my computer.

"Kari, get down here this's instant!" My stepmother called.

I quickly ripped my headphones from my ears and flung my door open, dashing down the stairs. When I got to the bottom, I was faced with the bleach blonde that was was Diana, or my stepmother. She glared at me with her brown eyes and her boobs were hanging out of her V-neck.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you watching that stupid cartoon again?"

"Yes, and it's not a cartoo--" I was cut off by a smack to the face, losing my balance as I fell flat on my ass.

I placed my hand on my cheek for a moment before standing back up, glaring at her. "Don't talk back to me!"

"I can if I want! You're not my goddamn mother, you sad excuse for a woman!" I snapped.

Yet again, another smack to the face as I fell on my back this time. I then felt hot liquid fun down my face as my nose felt like it was on fire before covering my nose. I looked at my hand to see the crimson red fluid that was my own blood. I glared at her again as she screamed at me. "Get out of my fucking sight now and go clean my room, you little whore!!" I quickly reached over and grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on before chucking it at her face, running up the stairs.

"Go to hell, you goddamn slut!!" I shouted before slamming my door shut.

I quickly grabbed some tissues and covered my bloody nose. After about 20 minutes or so, it finally stopped bleeding. Grabbing another tissue, I blew the rest of the blood out of my nose. I then went into the bathroom and washed my hands and face before changing out of my blood-covered shirt. When I was changed and blood free, I sat down at my desk, staring down at the picture in front of me. It was my version of myself if I were to be in my favorite anime, Code Geass. I guess I can kinda relate to the main character, Lelouch Lamperouge. He lost his mother when he was young and his father disowned both him and his younger sister, Nunnally who is disabled in both her legs and is blind. My mother, however, was murdered right in front of me when I was really young and I was an only child, so I can relate to the pain he feels...

My character however, would have long, jet black hair that almost went to my knees and deep, emerald green eyes. She would have the power of Geass, but I haven't really thought about what her power would be yet... Anyway, she would have an older brother that went by the name Satoshi. But my character's name would be Scarlett Ryoko, but she is actually an empress by the name of Scarlett vi Alexandria. Her mother took the throne next to Charles zi Britannia. I'm my picture I drew, she was wearing the Ashford Academy uniform and looks very cute with her innocent looking face.

(I wish I was apart of Code Geass and leave this horrible life behind...) I thought sadly.

Suddenly, I felt very sleepy as I could barely keep my head up, much less my eyes open. Just a few minutes couldn't hurt... I laid my head down on my desk, closing my eyes as I drifted off to sleep.

"Who's that, Lulu?" I heard a high-pitched female voice ask.

"I don't know. I found her on a desk in the council room, asleep." A male voice replied.

"Oh! My father told me about the new student yesterday! This must be her!" An excited, slightly lower female voice exclaimed happily.

My eyes fluttered open a bit as I felt a little groggy. "Oh, goody! She's waking up!" That same excited female said.

I rubbed my eyes slightly before they trailed up to meet deep, violet ones. "Aahh!" I exclaimed as I jumped out of the boy's arms, landing on my ass. Okay, that hurt...

Looking around, I was in shock and disbelief. I saw all the characters of Code Geass standing right in front of me. The purple-eyed boy stared at me with interest before walking forward. A gasp escaped my lips as I scrambled to my feet, backing up. They all walked forward as I continued to back up, until I hit something. I looked back to see that I had backed into the wall before turning back around.

"Hold on, everyone. I think we're scaring her." The blonde said.

She walked over to me and gently placed her hand on my shoulder, smiling at me softly. "You must be the new student, Scarlett Ryoko, right?"

What!? New student!? What the hell is going on!?

Suddenly, I looked at what I was wearing to see myself in the Ashford Academy uniform, my whole body anime-ish. No, this can't be right! It's just a dream! But the pain in my backside is telling me otherwise... I quickly shoved past everyone and ran to the full length mirror in the room, gasping at my reflection.

"No way..."

I stared at myself in shock. My waist long, milk chocolate, almost dirty blonde hair was now a jet black, and an emerald green instead of a sky blue. My body was taller by a few inches, or maybe a foot, and my chest was abnormally larger than before. Staring at my anime-self in the mirror, I slowly looked down, grabbing my arms as tears welled up in my eyes.

"Scar?"

Another gasp escaped my throat as my head slowly raised to see a boy who looked similar to Lelouch, but was taller and had both navy blue hair, and light emerald eyes. He smiled and came over to me, giving me a big hug. When he pulled away, his smile disappeared.

(A\N: The photo above is of both Scarlett and her brother, but without the braid and her eyes are green.)

"Huh? Scar, what's the mater? Why are you crying?"

I quickly straightened up and wiped my face, smiling. "Oh! Um, I-I'm fine! There was just something in my eyes, that's all."

"Well I just got back from my last period. We only have a few classes together this year."

"Oh, and what's your name?" The perky redhead asked with a smile, the boy pulling away from me.

"My apologies. My name is Satoshi Ryoko, Scarlett's elder twin brother." He bowed nobly. "Anyways, I'm going our manor now. If I'm correct from what the headmaster told me, a boy by the name of Lelouch lives in a manor of his own as well with his younger sister. I'll see you soon." He placed his hand on my head with a smile before leaving the room.

Wait... The Student Council, Satoshi, me looking like this, the uniform. No way. It can't be. Am I...in Code Geass?
