I've been staring at the young lady for about two minutes now, but she never moved nor said another word. She's just there, standing in my room while staring at me with her sassy violet hair.
Her outfit is a bit weird, and I feel as if I'm in an anime convention and she's chosen to be an assassin from some series to cosplay.
Normally, I should be calling the police now, but when she mentioned my parents, it made me think twice.
But how did she get in here?
"I..uh," I cleared my throat while pointing at her, "How are you got in here?"
She didn't say a word when I asked, but she walked towards me, slowly, with a fierce expression. It made me step away from my room, only to be stopped by the wall behind me.
"I'll call the police if you don't answer me," I stuttered while waiting for what this girl is about to do.
My phone's inside my room, and the telephone is in the kitchen, I obviously can't go in my room since she's inside and I'll have to make a fast run to the kitchen in case she really is up to something.
"Your parents are waiting," she repeated but with a lower voice and she sounds irritated.
"My father's not here, and my mom's dead," I whispered as I slowly move away from my room towards the kitchen, "I don't get what you're saying, so please, just go if you don't want any police involved."
As much as I hate social interactions, I'll have to call for the police this time for my safety. This girl seems younger than me, but if she's capable of hurting me, I won't let her go.
"Your mother is alive, and your father is waiting."
I paused when I heard her, slowly, I stood straight and stared at her face.
"How dare you lie to me?" I asked, "My mother's dead for years and my father never showed his face to me."
I felt as if something is boiling inside of me, but at the same time, it hurts... so bad. I feel like my spirits have been uplifted with her words that I don't even know if true, but I also felt like choking.
I've been alone all this time, with the thought that my mother's death and my father doesn't care about me, but here goes this young girl telling me those words.
She stopped walking towards me and pulled something from her pocket, the black stuff that looks like sand is on a vial. She pulled the cork from it and stared at me.
"What are those?" I asked as I ready myself to run to the kitchen.
This is girl is getting out of hand. I'll have to ask the police to deal with her, especially that she's holding some weird thing.
I dashed off to the kitchen, rushing to the telephone that is on the wall right next to the door, but before I can even start running, I saw black specks falling before me.
And that's when I realized, she threw the black sand she was holding to me.
What is this? Some sort of prank? It doesn't seem to be a poison. It's like dust is just raining over me.
"Let's go back now that you are clean," she whispered as I turn back to her.
But I was wrong, something was on that black dust. My vision became blurry, then the next thing I felt was falling into an abyss.
I fell unconscious for a while, and the next thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a grand chandelier hanging by a fancy white ceiling.
I turned around, and I felt the most comfortable and soft bed I've ever lied on.
I saw types of furniture that look too expensive to even lay my eyes to and the room was extremely large for a bedroom if I measure correctly this room is as big as my house. There was a set of couches not far from the king-sized bed I am lying on. Then, a large bookshelf and right next to it was a white grand piano.
Where am I? What did that girl do?
I immediately stood up and went to the door, only to find myself entering a walk-in closet full of fancy dresses, shoes, bags, and pieces of jewelry, all of which look too historical, as if I'm thrown back to some renaissance or medieval period fashion time.
I went out and tried the other door I saw, and I ended up in a large bathroom.
Where am I and why are there a lot of doors?
I groaned and left the bathroom, but the moment I stepped out, I saw the same young girl earlier, waiting for me.
"Your highness, Princess Amelia Pyriane Sunneiare Snow," she greeted then bowed, and before I can even react with my name, a beautiful lady entered followed by a young boy and a man. They were all wearing Victorian clothes, starting with their choice of fashion to their jewelry.
It's my father and mother. I know it. I've seen their faces before. But where? Especially, my father, I felt like I've met him before. He never goes home to show his face and only leaves me money, but why does he feel so familiar. His black hair, tall stance, and a face full of scars are oddly familiar.
And my mom, she... she's just so beautiful. Her fire-colored hair that looks like mine was striking, but her ocean blue eyes were the most magnificent pair of eyes I've ever laid my eyes to. She's almost as tall as my father. The dresses I saw in the basement were definitely hers.
But who is this boy? His blue eyes look like mom's, but his jet black hair looks like dad and his expression was similar to him as well.
"Meteor," father called with his arms open wide, "We're waiting for you."
I held my hand close to my chest as if it'll help me keep my heart at ease.
"My darling meteor," Mother smiled at me warmly as she walks towards me.
But it all hit me.
What is happening?
Why am I here?
Why is she alive?
Where am I?
I took a couple of steps back while shaking my head. What is happening?
"Meteor," Father softly called with a frown, "Let us explain."
I was continuing shaking my head, then I saw the boy's expression of angst as he stares at me. He was gritting his teeth and clenching his fist. He looks like he's about to throw me off a building any second now.
"Darling, please," Mother continues to smile as she walks towards me.
She's supposed to be dead. She's dead for thirteen years now. I don't even know if I'm happy to see any of them. I just feel overwhelmed and confused.
Father stopped Mom from walking towards me and sighed, "I know you're confused meteor. But just listen to me," he looked at my mom and smiled, then he turned to me, "Your mother is alive all those time, we just have to pretend she died to avoid any problems."
I creased my brow, I want to shout at them, I want to tell them what I feel, but right now, I feel powerless. I feel weak. I feel betrayed.
"She had to go away, and I know we shouldn't have kept everything from you. And...Come here, Kai, introduce yourself to your sister," father said as he moves his hand to gesture the boy to move near them. "This is Kai Blayze Snow, your little brother. Your mom gave birth to him here after she left."
The boy walked towards them, but he's still giving me this nasty look.
Were the baby clothes in the basement his? But why does he look like he hates me?
"Starting now, Meteor, you'll be living with us."
Father smiled at me after he said those word, Mother looked like she's about to cry, but Kai, he looks like he's about to murder me.
First of all, I'm not happy with the reunion. Second, I still don't get what's happening, and third, I want to go back home.
The young girl was still there, standing and listening to our conversation. And now that I remembered, what was that she called me?
"Why did she call me 'Your Highness,' and what was the name she said? I'm only Amelia Snow, no other name," I tried to force a laugh to sound like the girl was only mistaken, but my mother shook her head and stared at me.
"Your whole name is Princess Amelia Pyriane Sunneiare Snow, daughter of the Great Knight, Sir Atticus Hast and Princess Rose Claire Dawn Snow of Alpha Kingdom, and the sister of Prince Kai Blayze Snow."
I stared at my mother in disbelief, while my mind rampages over the information thrown to me like a hurricane, then I let out a chuckle which turned into a burst of uncontrollable laughter that I began to cry.
"I know what this is," I said while wiping my tears from laughing too hard which even made my stomach ache, "It's a prank, right?"
My chest felt heavy while my stomach turned a full degree, I tried to keep my cool, but everything was just... poof. A bubble that burst. I feel like I didn't exist for the past years.
All those things that I grew up to know suddenly blurred out as if I was living a lie. And now, I'm a freaking Princess? What is this? Disney?
"Meteor, it's not."
My father reaches out his hand to me, but I just stepped back while glaring at them. Am I even sure they're telling me the truth? I was thrown with black dust, and now here they are.
"Darling, please listen to us," my sweet mother softly spoke with a warm smile.
But it only ached my heart much more, making me run towards the door, leaving them all behind in that large room.
I ran and ran, until I saw myself standing in a large hall, behind me was a majestic staircase with red carpet. Above was a glass chandelier that was as large as a king-sized bed, and a line of flower vases with red roses was on the wall.
"My, well, aren't you Amy? My missing niece," I heard a cheerful yet cold frightening voice behind me.
I froze, why does he feel so scary? I haven't seen him, and he only said a few words.
"Aren't you going to greet me, my dearest sweetest niece?"
I took a deep breath as I turn around, somehow, his voice forced me to move and greet him.
I raised my head and saw a beautiful man.
His hair was similar to mine and to my mother, and he got this golden eyes like the rays of the sun. He smiled at me widely while his footsteps echo around the hall.
He looks as old as my father, and if he calls me niece, that means, he's my mother's brother. He's my uncle.
As I stare into his mysterious eyes, I noticed a heavy crown over his head decorated like the flares of the fire with a red gemstone in the middle.
"You're as beautiful as the sun," he whispered as he stops in front of me and tucked my hair behind my ear.
I gulped, this isn't how an uncle greets his niece, something's off. I gathered my strength and smiled at him, but I took a step away.
He didn't move and stared into my eyes.
"I'm sorry, but can I go back home now?" I said as I stare into the floor.
Why do I feel as if I'm in danger, if they're my relatives, I should be fine, right?
"This is your home now, Amy. The Alpha Kingdom is your home, our princess," he said with that same voice.
Home? This kingdom? This place that I'm not sure to exist in the Earth's map. Where am I? Is the Alpha Kingdom in England, or in in the East?
I heard his finger flicked, then I heard steps walking towards me.
A tall young man with armor and two young maids were standing behind him suddenly.
How'd they got in here that fast?
"They will be your attendants, Princess Amy. Carol and Joy are your maids, and Gerald is your personal knight."
I stared at the three, but they don't look friendly enough to be my attendants. They even look like Kai, their stares are piercing through me.
