Betrayal?

"Wow, Girl yo life sucks." Pyrice said laughing.

"If someone else heard you say that, they'll put you in a mental institution." Ossaya said saying grapes.

"I know, that's why I think I'm going crazy. Nothing make sense. The time frames, and the reason this started apparently is because my mom like the modern day version of my father? Like what?" Groaning I press my face against the cold marble.

"You said that there's two versions of you, is it possible for you both to stay here? Or there? Or simply go back to where you was originally?" Ossaya asked.

"I don't think so, if that was possible wouldn't the universe already stop the weird anomaly soon it realized that two of the same people are basically coexisting." Pyrice said lifting a brow.

"I'm just worried that all my hard work in the other world will go up in smoke. My other me hates you two because of some shit y'all did as kids. I got us together."

"Ew." Pyrice said making a face.

"Not romantically you dingbat, plus you aren't my taste." I said waving him away

"Is that a challenge?"

"Awwn you mad that I don't like you." I said patting Pyrice cheek.

"This is not the time for y'all to be arguing." Ossaya said sighing.

"You're still as insufferable as ever I see."

"And you're still as insecure." I said smiling.

"Why y—,"

The ground starts to shake and we look at each other, dashing towards Jamari. I scoop him up and I press his head against my chest. Like something off a movie, the living room and kitchen slowly crumbled while everything else around it stayed perfectly still. Rushing towards the boys, the ground suddenly splits and the marble counters fall through. "MY WINE!" Ossaya cried.

"Fuck the wine! Jump!" Pyrice said grabbing Ossaya hand they jump towards me and the rumbling stopped.

Looking back everything was back to normal and we collapse to the floor gasping for air. "What. The Fuck. Was. That?!" Pyrice said gasping for air.

"I think something happened in my other universe." I muttered.

"What you mean something happened in the other universe?"

Looking at the boys I sigh and lift myself up. "When I get hurt in the other world it happens here. I don't know if that goes for other me, but I assume this happened because other me did something."

"This is crazy. What's gonna happen to you? If she dies won't that mea-,"

Groaning, I grab my side feeling a sharp pain. It felt like someone stabbed me, twisting and turning into me. Whimpering, my body instinct fully curl up and Ossaya rushes towards me. His face slowly morphing from worried to angry, my surrounding slowly changing I grab onto his hand. "I'm getting switched, I have a feeling other me will be bleeding out, take her to the hosp-- I HAVE A MED-KIT ."

Since when did I have a med-kit?

Feeling as if I was falling, The pain got worse and I look at my side to see it bleeding. Looking up Ossaya stood holding back Pyrice who was holding a bloody sword. The room dark and items thrown everywhere, Pyrice eyes looked at me with anger and distrust. Trying to push myself up, the pain from the large wound stopped any possible movement. Gulping, I knew I had to tread lightly with what I say. Pyrice looked like he one breath from killing me and I don't have a weapon.

"Did you just stab me? What's your problem?" I asked pressing down on my wound.

"My problem? MY PROBLEM!" Pyrice shook with anger, stepping closer to me, Ossaya stood in the middle.

"Pyrice CALM DOWN! What's going on? Why are you attacking Anisa?!" Ossaya asked.

"She tried to kill my mother!" Pyrice said breathing heavy, his eyes trained on me.

"I tried to do what?!"

"Anisa wouldn't do t-,"

Before Ossaya could finish his sentence, guards bursts in. The king walking in he looks at me before turning his head away as if he couldn't bear to see me. "Take Princess Anisa for questioning, as of now she will be treated as a traitor of the kingdom."

"What? I didn't even do anything! Pyrice!" I screamed. The guards grabbing onto my arms and legs, I didn't have enough strength to fight against them. Thrashing, trying to get free I look at Ossaya for help but he just looks away.

Other me wouldn't.

For Days, they did everything they could to get a confession out of me. Sitting in a small cell, I hug my knees trying to ignore the decomposing corpses in front of me. My eyes burned from crying, my throat horse from screaming. I cried to the point of feeling empty, though what they did to me hurt, I couldn't cry anymore and soon I became a empty shell. What's worse, I can't get back to my world. I can't sleep and they refused to hurt me to the point of me fainting. Looking out the small window in front of me, a new emotion surfaced. Hatred. I imagined killing Pyrice and Ossaya with my bare hands and take over Lavinia after executing the royal family.

Even though I thought in great detail on how I would torture and ruin Pyrice and Ossaya, I can tell me being here caused them distress. After getting tortured they'll come find me and clean me up before leaving with a guilty look. I knew deep down I could never truly hurt someone I care about. They have their reasons so I hope when everyone finds out that I'm innocent they understand my reasons on why I changed. After a few days of reflecting, I mustered as much strength I had and summoned Ruby and myrim.

Laying my head on the cold concrete something warm surrounds me and I see myrim who wrapped me in her cloak. Licking my chapped lips, I smile at her but her face filled with anger. "Myrim dont, they think I tried to kill the queen." I said trying to reason.

"You are a princess! They doing this to you just shows how little they think of you! Anisa! You have to do something." Myrim pleaded.

"Myrim is right my lady, at this rate not only will you be too weak. If this continue no one will follow you, you've been avoiding us for a while so we thought you needed space. What happen in those few days we was gone?" Ruby asked.

Groaning I press my hands on my eyes trying to think. Why would Anisa try to kill the queen? Anisa is me and I'm Anisa. Why would I try to kill the queen? Slowly trying to sort out my thoughts, the one thing that kept popping up is, why they think I'm the one that tried to do it? The queen would obviously have enemies, so why would they think I would kill her? Something happened while I was in my world.

"How long have I been avoiding you guys." I asked sitting up.

"For about a week? Why?" Myrim asked.

A week? How long was I in my world? Maybe six hours? Does that mean the time here go by the time I spend in the other world? That might explain the sudden change of time frames after I woke from my coma. Since I was in a coma, my other self was in a coma too.

Perching my lips, I look at Ruby and myrim. For now the only people I trust. "I need you to do something for me."

"What can we do for you my lady." Ruby said grabbing my hand.

"In my room, Find my box. When you find it, give it to me. It might help me figure out what my next move is."

"Will do your highness." They both said in unison.

"Be quick, how it's looking. I'll be dead in a matter of few days."
