You were Jane, that much you remembered, but everything else was just a hazy blur. Try as you might, you could only dredge up a few scattered fragments of memories, but none of it made much sense. Slowly, you became more aware of your surrounds, chief among them a constant slow rhythm of thumping; the sound seemed to come from all directions, completely surrounding you. Next came the realization that you were floating within a warm liquid of some sort, but your location wasn’t roomy like a pool or anything, you seemed to be scrunched up rather tightly. Trying to stretch out met with resistance, so you grudgingly opened your eyes. Everything was blurry and out of focus, but as your eyes adjusted you could see that you were held within a fluid filled bag, light barely streaming through wherever you were, while the material around you was elastic and yielded to your touch. You then noticed that you weren’t breathing, but it didn’t feel like you were drowning either. Glancing down at your body, you briefly remembered yourself as a teenage girl, before you saw yourself as the naked baby you seemed to be, complete with umbilical cord trailing out of you. This mishmash caused your mind to recoil in shock, flailing out at your prison, before a soothing voice whispered in your ear.
“Calm yourself, you are perfectly fine.”
Casting your gaze about quickly, you don’t see a source till a shadow started forming within the liquid surrounding you. This shadow started out hazy but soon solidified into an attractive young woman, clad in a semi-transparent belly dancer outfit.
She floats beside you for a few seconds, before bowing at her waist and speaking again, “Greetings, I am Alisa; I am here to explain what has happened to you and fulfill any wishes you might have. You, Jane, were exposed to an ancient magic from a time long forgotten. This magic has resulted in you being returned to the womb as a developing child, as you have been for nearly the past nine months. Your mind has just been returned to you now, but memories of your past life are most likely fleeting, they may slowly return in time.”
Looking around again, your mind draws the connection that you certainly do look like you in a womb, and another glance at your body confirms that you are a baby girl once again. As you thought about it, a small piece of a memory surfaced: you remembered that you found something – though you couldn’t quite remember what – and that was followed with a bright flash that blinded you. Somehow you get the feeling that you didn’t have any other memories between then and now, that event being the likely one that ended up with you being reborn, so to speak.
It took a few attempts, but you managed to speak, your voice sounding odd, “Who am I in, my mother?”
Alisa took a few seconds to answer, “Technically yes, but not the mother you had before. You are now in a woman named Ashley; she is 25 years old, and doesn’t work because she is quite wealthy. She is also more than a little overweight, so much so that she isn’t quite aware of her pregnancy.”
You were a bit shocked at the thought of how big this woman must be to not know that she was so pregnant, as well as how much information that this Alisa seemed to have of Ashley.
“Who are you, Alisa?”
“I am a genie that was bound to you by the same magic. Unfortunately, my powers are limited, but only for now, as I use them, they should grow in strength and allow me to do more and more often,” she looked a bit embarrassed at admitting her stunned abilities.
“So that’s what you meant about wishes before, huh?”
Alisa nods her head, “Did you have something in mind?”
The corner of her mouth turned up slightly as she seemingly thought about the possibility of what you might do. You pause and think for a second before answering.
