Vortex's Queen

—Melissa—

I reached my head feeling a little bit dizzy. Then, I felt a strong hand holding my arms as he led me to the sofa. When I sat down, I faced another portrait, Anna…

I stood and walked toward the wall where Anna's portrait is hung. I am sure that it's Anna. She looked so beautiful with the same hair color as the beautiful woman on the other side. 

"That's Anna." He said. "Then, this one," He pointed to the woman in the portrait. "Is Lily, my Queen." He hugged me. "It's you, my love." 

Now, with the evidence he has, I am sure that he's telling the truth. But if he's my soulmate, then why can't I recognize him? 

"I know that you are full of questions," He kissed my cheeks. "Ask one by one." 

"Why?" I asked. "Why can't I recognize you?" 

"Micah, Ludwig, and Cassandra saw black magic around your head. We concluded that it's been there since you were a child." 

"What?"
