What is happening?

Gasping for air, I jerk up to see myself in a hospital bed. My body covered in wires, my hands moved on its own. Yanking the needles, and sticky pads off my body. Loud beeping filled the room and soon nurses came bustling in. Hands all over me, they opened my eyes, looked at my bleeding arms and I was forced to lay back down. Though I wasn't putting much of a fight, everything felt surreal.

What is going on? Am I finally at home? Was I dreaming?  Should I stop smoking?!

"Ma'am?! Your back is bleeding! Someone call a doctor! It looks pretty deep! Where did you even get this?!" The nurse said looking at my blood soaked pillow and sheets.

Staring at the woman, I touch my back and look at my fingers. That was where I was cut when I tried to protect those boys. What the hell happen? Confused I sat there trying to wrap what happened to me. The feeling of dread filled me and I wondered if me being here is good. As the doctors and nurses patched me up and gave me new sheets and pillows, I thought about mama rose.

What happen to her? Is she okay? Why am I in the hospital in the first place.

"You're finally awake after being in a coma for six months. We were worried you wouldn't wake up."

Looking up mama rose daughter rosemary look at me with a sad look as she pull her son in the room. Why does he look Pyrice? Frowning, I couldn't help but stare at him. Though his face is generally the same, this man here has albinism. Was Pyrice in the other world albino? That makes no sense, I could of sworn Pyrice in that world was white.

Lord, why am I comparing a dream person to a real one right now.

"You might remember him, this is Pyrice. You two grew up together. You used to play together all the time before your mother died. Y'all were inseparable." Rosemary said smiling, her round cheeks stained with tears.

"What happen? Why am I in the hospital? Where's mama rose?" Frowning, I push my hair out my face trying to relax.

"She's gone..." Pyrice muttered.

"What you mean gone?"

"Pyrice! Look Anisa I don't think you're well. Focus on y—,"

"-She was buried back in may, it's currently September 2nd. Your birthday was yesterday." Pyrice said looking at me, his eyes filled with confusion and worry. It made me wonder if he's in the same predicament as me. If not, why does it look like he is trying to figure out something?

"She's dead..."

"She also told us to give this too give you this before she passed away. It seems that your mother left it for you before she died." Rosemary said handing me a large brown box with the initials, A.D. in gold letters. Excusing themselves Pyrice and Rosemary left and I sat in disbelief. Mama rose is dead, there's a possibility that I traveled between universes, and I'm sure whatever is in this box has to do with why I suddenly became a pubescent teen.

Opening the medium sized box, papers pilled to the brim, with four small books. Small trinkets and gold coins littered the bottom and One large perfume bottle stood. I grab one of the papers it was addressed to me.

To my beautiful daughter Anisa,

You're maybe confused, disoriented and honestly in pain. I'm writing this to explain what is happening, and why you're life suddenly turned upside down. My name is Maryland Delovet, before I married your father I was a princess of great power. I weld not only magic, but beauty and intelligence, I dabbled here and there in swordsmanship also. The people hated me due to me not being a man. I achieved all and honestly if my father didn't die, I could of been queen. Sadly, my step mother married me away as soon as my fathers burial ended.

Your father, I hated him. As I write this, I shake from anger. He's not a good man, he used to hurt you a lot, and since birth tried to rid you. After birthing mostly boys, when you came he saw you as a stain of the dukedom. I soon spiral into depression and one day a man in odd clothes came falling from the sky. That man who fell from the sky looked almost identical to your father, but this one was kind and warm. We ended up having an affair and I took you with me to his world. But when I did you was back in my stomach, and not physically here. So I wonder, are you still with your father. Did I do something I wasn't suppose to? I'm not sure what is happening, but I will be writing to you. So when you're older and something happens, you'll be ready.

Love

your mother,

Rummaging through the rest of the box, i hear a soft knock and I close the box. "Come in."

Standing in the doorway, my little brother walks in. Completely dirty, I rush out of bed and pick him up. Looking at the door, my step mother comes in. "What the hell happen to Jay Jay? Why is he so dirty?" I said wiping his face.

"He's a boy, he'll be fine". My stepmother said rolling her eyes.

"He's a two year old! What the fuck you mean he'll be fine? He smells fucking awful."

"Anyways, here. Since you're officially twenty one. I kept the promise with your father. I already gave most of your things to that old lady family you hang with so much." She said throwing three bags on the floor.

"Whatever, just get out. If my brother have any bruises or diseases I'm suing you for child endangerment." I said taking off my brothers coat. I watch as my stepmother roll her eyes and slam the door behind her. Ignoring the pain that spread all over my side and chest. My main focus was to get my  brother clean and feed. Stripping him, I take him to the bathroom and scrubbed at his small chubby body. Body covered in random gunk, she didn't even bothered to change him.

Washing his hair Jamari look at me, confused he pat my face. "Sissy? Wooks diffent." He said trying to pull my hair.

"No Jay Jay don't do that." I said taking his hands.

"Sissy is diffent!" He screamed tossing and turning I try to pick him up go dry him but he wouldn't stay still. Taking him to the bed, I lotion him up glaring at the pouty boy.

"Why do I look different Jay Jay, is it because I'm hurt?" I asked looking for his under garments.

"Yous have a monster." Pointing behind me, I look back to see nothing. Lifting a brow I decided to just leg it go.

"Are you afraid of the monster? I can get rid of him for you." I said puffing out my chest.

"No, it oway. He saids I'll go with you next time." Jay Jay said smiling.

"Come with m—?"

A sudden wave of nausea surrounds me, looking at my brother who started to clap smiling brightly. I put on his clothes and slowly crawled in bed with him. Trying to get rid of the feeling, the walls slowly morphed and twisted. Looking at my baby brother who laid on my chest, his face slowly distorted turning an odd color of black and green. Pulling him closer to me, the bright hospital lights slowly dimmed and small voices and clangs of metal filled my ears. Soft whispers:

"My lady?"

"My lady?"

The soft voice of a woman soothed me and I turn to the sound. A soft round face slowly appeared, before I could see who it was, my vision went black.

"She's finally awake, call the king and the highnesses. Announce that Princess Anisa is from her slumber."
