" Come close Lydia, we have lost time to make up for," he said finally turning his gaze to meet mine and using a hand to gesture for me to come closer to him.
My jaw slacked upon seeing his face, yeah he was indeed a good-looking lad.
But that wasn't what made me surprised, he had the same features as I did, and he was indeed a male Replication of myself, I quickly placed both of my palms to cover my mouth as I found it hard to close. he had this Raven black silky hair that was perfectly combed back, dark green eyes that would remind one of the beauties of nature, thick shaved brows, long lashes, and light pink lips, he had this pale skin like that of someone who never been exposed to the sun... I just stared at him in amusement until he snapped me out of my curious mind.
" Are you alright? is anything wrong sister?" he asked with a worried expression and stepped closer. " Hu...huh.. is Who's your sister? what are you talking about? don't come any closer! " I yelled and stepped back cautiously but ended up Missing my steps and tripped, but before I could anticipate what was going on I felt his strong arms around my waist as held me tight "Stay away from me!" I yelled and pushed him away.
"Calm down sis, am just happy to finally, see you that's all "he looked sincere and hurt.
I calmed down a little, 'since this was a dream weird things are bound to happen ', I thought to myself and looked up to meet his green eyes looking deep into mine. what is your name? who are you? and why are you calling me sister?"
"Yaqs, my name is Yaqs, and the reason I keep calling you sister is that you're my sister silly, why else would I have called you that, " he said and the hurt look that was plastered on his face a while ago disappeared instantly and he replaced it with a warm smile.
" Yes?"I said while looking at him in confusion, I didn't know him nor had I heard of him, well I was dreaming after all so I should expect nothing more than to experience weird things happening "You'll get to find out who I am very soon he smiled and with that, I woke up from my dream to meet the rays of sun that peaked through the window of my chamber as the curtains were slightly lifted. it was morning already? "Good morning my lady' Bella and Anna said in unison with their heads bowed.
I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm,
"hmm good morning" I nodded and stood up to see that they had already cleaned up the Chambers before I woke up as always.
they always come here every morning to tidy up the Chambers before l wake up, I don't think they get enough sleep at all, they look so thin and tired all the time I thought to myself and pressed my lips into a thin line, " After you two finish helping me to get ready for the day, I would want for you two to have your rest I hope that is clear?"l said with a serious tone because I knew that if I hadn't they Would refuse to say it isn't-proper.
"We dare not your majesty as we must serve my lady," Anna said still keeping her gaze glued to the floor.
I knew it! They would refuse as always.
Bella on the other hand didn't talk but from the corner of my eyes, I saw her nudge Anna to keep quiet. I chuckled "it's ok really, hmmm you know what? Anna calls me Madame Bridget. tell her
to come to my Chambers immediately. " I instructed and got down from the bed.
"Yes, your majesty," Anna said and quickly left.
Madame Bridget was the head maid of the palace and the one in charge of assigning the maidens to their duties. I walked towards the window and looked at the clear sky above as I let out a sigh, the dream I had, I still thought about it and tried to decipher the closeness I felt with the young lad whom I had seen in the realistic dream I had.
'yaqs that name, I kept thinking about it as the dream I had just felt so real.
