The Runaway Princess [ENGLISH]

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 - The Portal

"Hey wake up!" I heard a familiar voice.

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a soft white sofa. I remembered that I was being dragged upwards by a strong wind coming from the strange magic circle.

I scanned my surroundings looking for the owner of the voice. I am in a white room with a white sofa as the only furniture.

When I turn around, I saw her. The same person who keeps on haunting me in my dreams.

"Finally!" She said as she floats around the area while holding a familiar item, the black stone. She's playing it around by floating it midair in circles. 

"Missed me?" She asked in a mocking tone. "And to be clear, I'm not haunting you. I'm just here from the very beginning."

"Why am I here?" 

"Hmm... straight to the point this time huh? Well, you see...you created this realm so why are you asking me?"

I sighed. What do I expect from her? Even though she claims that she's also me, the clash between our personalities are like fire and water. 

"Remember yin and yang? Same concept." She said like she doesn't care. 

"I don't. Really." She answered.  

"Stop reading my mind!" I shouted out of frustration. 

"I told you I can't. It just happens." 

"But how come I can't read yours?" I asked incredulously. 

Suddenly, there's a shift in her demeanor. She stops playing with the necklace and looked at me with a serious facial expression. 

'Really?'

I looked at her wide-eyed and shocked. 

"You're not strong enough to read my mind. You just recently able to see me so I don't expect you to see what's in here... " She said pointing at her head. "... Yet," she finished.

"But sooner or later, aside from single sentences, you'll be able to read everything. Oh yeah! Maybe that's why she brought you here in the first place."

"How? But-"  

"STOP! Don't ask questions anymore. Why do you want me to repeat something over and over again?" She said in resignation and threw me the black stone. 

I manage to catch it in time. 

"That Fae really tricked you into coming here." She said. 

"Who's Fae?" I asked. 

"I can't believe this. You know that she's not from this realm yet you didn't know what she is?" She said with disbelief. " I swear this is the most dumbest you've been. Really." She said.

I continued to look at her in confusion.

"Just seeing your dumb face makes me want to strangle the pretty little neck of yours." she said in extreme irritation. 

"Hey! Watch what you're saying. You may be using a 10 year old body but I'm still you." 

" Aliyah." She suddenly said that caught my attention immediately.

" What about her?" I asked. 

"That fae was a sly one. She lead you into this place and you followed her here like a puppy." She mocked.

"What's wrong with that? It's not like she'll harm me." I never felt threatened near her so I followed her despite not knowing her.

"She's a fae, am member of the realm of celestial beings. In other sense, humans call them fairies. The fae are extremely beautiful beings that uses their beauty to trick humans into submission." She explained.
