Chapter 2 - A DREAM? PERHAPS NOT

Emily wakes up covered in sweat and panting heavily. She quickly looks at her palms then at her stomach. What on earth is happening? She quickly gets out of bed and rushed over to the mirror to look at her appearance. And for a minute she was dumbfounded. Her face was smooth as silk, hair, golden as ever and her eyes still hazel. No sign of abuse or starvation.

Maid: Your highness

Emily looks at the maid with wide eyes. How is she alive

Emily: erm...Am I dreaming?

Maid: your highness?

Emily: what day is it today? She asked in a harsh tone. Not like she intended to sound rude

Maid: it's 27th of june your highness. Is everything alright? The maid asked in confusion before speaking up again.

The queen requested your presence princess

Emily: what!? 27th of june. That's like a whole year ago. Wait... Please tell her I'll be there in a minute

Maid: alright your highness the maid bows and leaves quickly. Confusion still clear on her face

Emily quickly looked at her face once again before looking out the window Everything looks exactly like a year ago huh. Emily reluctantly opened the wardrobe to get changed before it hits her again WAIT! the 27th ...of June. Yes! It's today that the Duke arrives. ...and my nightmares begin. But I can change that now. After all I know what is going to happen. I don't know if it's a curse or blessing that I'm reliving this hellish day but I swear I won't make the same mistake twice! Emily clutches her dress tightly, determination clear in her expression and voice

Emily: I swear. If it's the last thing I do! I won't make the same mistake twice!
