EPISODE :2

(Anabelle's P.O.V )

I gradually opened my eyes ....

my whole body was in so much intensifying engraving pain . like my whole body was set on fire and stomped by a heavy truck .

it was such a extreme pain my mind was going haywire...

as I opened my eyes which took a lot of strength to do so as they were so heavy lidded. I became stupefied.

the room which I was in currently was like in the movies or mangas of old centuries : ancient times

just like ancient China ...

I was so shocked.....

I was completely petrified to death ...

I don't know how I got here?

where am I?

why everything is a century old style?

what happened?

is it a dream ? but isn't it so real , for a Dream?

am I going crazy?

these all. questions were running in my mind making it throb so hardly .

just then in just a blink of an eye...

all scene played Along my mind

Mercedes....

road Cross....

accident...

blood everywhere...

Alia....

ALIA...

ALIA!!!!!!!?????

what was she doing there ?

where is she?

what happened to her?

why did she even came for me???

Is it one of her pranks???

many thoughts came to my mind

sending chills down my spine and I flinched

I was so shocked I tried to get out of the

luxurious vintage bed

when it hit me that I was having heavy wounds, scars all over my body or can say an stranger's body

cause as I saw my reflection in the mirror I saw that my hair were the same crimson colour like before but now they were tied in a very ancient way with a hair pin and I recognized. it as a Chinese artifact .

my whole appearance was the same but still I felt strange like iam in an foreign body not my own

and my skin was now much fairer brighter and softer than before

I tried to think that this is all a dream

I will wake up eventually and this will end, I will be with Alia my one an only bestie....

I thought it is one of her pranks and she will come out of somewhere and say

'Caught you'

but as time ticked by neither of that happened . how much now I wanted to be with her even if I never celebrated my birthday ever just for the chance of being with her I was wishing to celebrate it. I wanted to celebrate it just for a chance of being with her ...

it was all so creaky , anxiety Rose in my heart my palms were being sweaty . I was feeling suffocated .

just that very moment I realized I wasn't in my casual clothes or any piece of ordinary clothes

I was wearing a Chinese traditional hanbok my whole dressing to hairstyle was so ancient to about a 1500 decades before

it was all creeping me out

I was having a panic attack

I thought I would die right there but I didn't

I was creeped the shit out of me .

I yelled in frustration "ALIA .... ALIA!!!!"

but it came out as as a sad sob

full of despair...

as I was reminicing with my own grief frustration confusion whatever you name it

some , women as I thought were servants or maids came towards me and

did kitao and bowed down...

it was all like a dream to me...

I a girl w 21st century how come I was stuck here just then my doubt of time travel were being more confirmed.

as the servant girls bowed down they said

""princess Gu xiaoya, your wounds are yet not healed . you were unconscious for 3 days we were loosing hope . Master Gu was also afraid with__"

I cut them off and said

"who is that Master Gu ???"

they were speechless giving me those looks like I was bewicthed

then w growled

"can you please respond at least"

they were dumb-founded I pinched the bridge of my nose and started

" iam asking you , to see how dumb are you or

even a bit useful or trusting. I know what I am saying, so I wanna know that if you block heads know. tell me...

are you that dumb that you don't even respond to me, huh!! ""'

I guessed that will do as one of them started to speak I thought to myself I should have won an Oscar. Man ! I've so wasted my precious talent on these fools...

the servant girl began

" My apologies to my princess Guxiaoya . he is the master of Gu household and your Father"

I than thought she isn't giving full response info huh. Mess with me. ok , let's see

"tell me what you know of me . people around me I wanna know what you think about it hurry up and tell me each single detail of what's going around until I tell you to stop do you get it you block head "

she was petrified by me even I was being suspicious that if that voice is even mine

so powerful so strong wow!!

she then began and cupped her hands in a respective manner I knew it , all thanks to that movie nights with Alia....

she said

"you are the eldest daughter of the Gu household ; Gu xiaoya . you are also fiance and soon to be wife of the crown prince and to your marriage is just in a month or two. As Gu household is very respectful and prestigious household because of your Mother; her majesty she went in the war alone when she was 15 and rescued and safely bought back the soon to be emperor of Beiyao country for which every one was and is grateful and while emperor was captured there she managed and ran the country affairs wisely and fairly now , the emperor she saved is getting old you are going to be his daughter in law by being wed to the crown prince. who is your mother's cousin's son means emperor's son as emperor is your uncle and crown prince will be crowned as emperor after the current old emperor""

you were completely petrified and told her to stop. after a great time of digesting in what she said you wanted to know more. so, you told her to continue and , so she did

""majesty did died by doing suicide by drinking the poison when you were still a newly born baby___""

you Sayed her to stop

some vivid, blurry images or to be accurate 'flash back' were telecasting In my mind I told her to stop

and as each piece of the firm came clearer I was assured that these are the memories of the real GU XIAOYA .

As I was mesmerizing and reminicing over the memories of her

the more I got deep the deep i grieved the deep i ache seeing all those things I was having a urge to cry out loud.

As I kept going deep...

my thoughts were being

a dark heap..

my soul being grieved

eyes forming seas

never have had I ever
