Chapter 4: Life In Different Dimension

"Okay, mom. I'll be home later bye...", said Aimee then hangs up on the call. She went blank for a few minute then gave a deep sigh

"When will this end?"

Phone beeps. A message from Romelyn

"She's awake"

Aimee went down from the rooftop after receiving the text message and go directly to the patient's room. She slowly open the door and she saw the girl staring from afar.

"Uhm hey... I'm Aimee. What's your name?", Aimee confronted then offer a handshake but the girl didn't even look at her

"I... I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I didn't notice you when you cross the road~...", Aimee added.

"You need to cooperate....we need your name at least so we could help you contact your friends or relatives?~", Romelyne interrupted.

Silence took the place and for a minute...

"Romelyne... maybe she needs to be alone for now. Let's not force her", Aimee suggested.

"Hmft... okay"

"I... I don't remember anything", Sushie suddenly spoken.

"Really?..", asked Romelyne and Sushie just nodded

"Then... even your name?", asked Aimee.

"You...can just call me Sushie. That's what I only remember when I woke up", Sushie responded then look back in the window

Both look at each other and decided to talk outside

"Aimee... I can't take her home with me. You know my situation", Romelyne ranted.

"Same with me. But we can't just leave her like that", said Aimee. " Yet I should take responsibility on this"

ERILAND

"How is she?"

"Queen...", Chipi greeted with a bow. " She hasn't regained consciousness, my Queen. She's in a deep sleep"

" Let her take a rest for now. Tomorrow, we need to proceed with the wedding", said the Queen.

"Queen...", greeted Yon Zue as he come closer. " The princess is still unconscious and..."

" Yon Zue... the wedding is already decided. It will be held tomorrow. I need you to assure that there will be no other mistake", ordered the Queen.

"Yes, my Queen", Yon Zue responded then the Queen went out

"Sushie!", Chipi grasped when she noticed her hand move

" I can hear that pixie's voice again", Shiya said in her mind then smiled

"Sushie! can you hear me? open your eyes", Chipi suggested. Sushie slowly open her eyes. Yon Zue and Chipi are staring at her. Shiya stretches her arms. Yawns then sit.

"Hi little pixie", Shiya greeted then pinch her cheeks.

"Sushie... what are you doing?", asked Chipi. " You're acting weird again"

Shiya didn't mind her question then turn her head to Yon Zue. She stared at him and it made Yon Zue felt awkward so he look away as he clear his throat

"You're handsome even this far", Shiya complimented then kept on staring at him. "You're Yon Zue isn't it? Your face is fine for me to see in my dreams like this than seeing that jerks face here. Beautiful dreams will be a nightmare if it happens "

Yon Zue remain silent and observe Shiya's words and actions

"Chipi...", called Yon Zue.

"Y..yes?", Chipi answered in confusion but can't take her eyes from Shiya

"I will stay with the Princess for now. You can take a rest", Yon Zue suggested.

"O..okay", Chipi responded then slowly walk away. "What's wrong with Sushie? Saying things like those won't ever come out from her"

Shiya and Yon Zue was left in the room and he was just looking at her while she kept on doing a stretch then yawns again

"Is there anything wrong?", asked Shiya.

"Who are you?", Yon Zue responded then suddenly unleash the sword and pointed to Shiya's neck that made her stop moving

"What are you... doing?", asked Shiya in a trembling voice

"Who are you? where is the princess?". Yon Zue drop the sword as he come closer and began to strangle her which made her struggle to catch her breath

"Did Ornaphendreul sent you here?", Yon Zue continuously asked.

"I... I can't breathe...let go of me", Shiya pleaded yet he didn't move an inch

"Answer me!"

"How can I ... answer? I... I can't breathe. I... don't know what you are talking about", Shiya responded.

"What kind of a dream is this? I really can't breathe already. Is there someone who's trying to kill me for real? I need to wake up!", Shiya said in her mind.

Yon Zue then let go of her and she began coughing as she catch her breath. She stands up and slaps him so hard

"What's wrong with you?! you're going to kill me too? What did I even do?", Shiya ranted then started to cry out loud.

"She's weird. She's not from the Dark Castle for sure", Yon Zue said in his mind

"Hey... stop crying. You're so loud", Yon Zue ranted yet she only look at him badly then continue to cry even louder

"You're all so mean! everyone wants to kill me even in this dream!", Shiya ranted.

"What?"

"I don't know what you are trying to find out. I don't understand it all and who the hell is this Ornaphendreul?"

"Then...who are you?", asked Yon Zue in confusion. "Who wants to kill you?"

"You're one of them now", Shiya answered as she look at him fiercely then he just look away and clear his throat

"My name is Shiya okay? I don't know why are you calling me Sushie too. I only sleep and land here! Do I even look like her that you can't see the difference?", Shiya ranted.

"Yes", Yon Zue answered and it made her pause for a minute. Then she began to sob again. Yon Zue tried to stop her from crying but ends up getting annoyed and decided to just wait for her to stop

"Okay... I still can't understand what's happening right now but we need to keep this from everyone. You need to keep this hidden and play as the princess. Do you understand?", Yon Zue suggested.

"Why would I follow you? I can wake up anytime from this dream!", Shiya said

"Stop saying that this is a dream", Yon Zue responded then hit her forehead.

"Aww!", Shiya complained. "What is that for?"

"See? you can feel pain. This is not a dream so you need to follow what I say", said Yon Zue

"And if I don't?"

"Then, you'll be killed for pretending as the princess", Yon Zue concluded. "Tomorrow... you will marry Prince Liu. Do it as Sushie and not as Shiya."

Shiya didn't respond at all

"After the wedding... I will find a way to keep this all in control. We'll discuss this further." said Yon Zue. "Don't make a mess"

"As if I will let myself marry that Prince with that jerk's face", Shiya said in her mind. " And I will surely get back on you too!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?", asked Yon Zue.

"Nothing"
