Got a secret, can you keep it? p1

...In Tacito's other world...

"A coma! That's it!" Kimberly said enthusiastically.

"A coma?...You think I'm...in this situation... because of a...coma?" Tacito questioned.

"Okay let me explain once again what I believe must've happened." Kimberly said, the two have been brainstorming ideas and theories that would explain why and how they ended-up in this world, by now the two are convinced that this isn't some fantasy world that was created by Edward's possible possession of Tacito's original body.

"I know it...all starts with...me getting possessed...by Edward then...you for some... reason turning into...a ghost and...following me where... I'm at currently." Tacito said.

"Yes, and so far we've both came to the conclusion that I'm here as a world-traveling ghost in order to pull you back to your original world, so it's more likely that given my 'World jumper' power that the possibility you're currently inhabiting the body of Another 'Tacito' as in your doppelganger but from an entirely different world, could be true!" Kimberly said.

"What do we...have of evidence...to back that...theory aside from...you having the...ability to teleport...through different worlds?" Tacito questioned, "Right! So, for starters at least, this place has proven to be too realistic to be just some fantasy world, you've said it yourself before, that you feel this way.

Besides, it's a fact that you haven't lived in Derora since you were 7! So This place while it's also Derora, it's also really different from the Derora you used to know!

Not to mention that Fantasy worlds created by evil spirit possession, tend to be very pleasant, happy with no conflicts and extremely idealistic in order to make you wanna live there forever, which allows the evil spirit to continue possessing you!

SO once again! If we were in a Fantasy world, creepy things like incest and people like Fernando shouldn't exist! Not to mention, you said that you still prefer your original world and you wanna go back!" Kimberly explained.

Nodding, "You're right I...guess...but what if... it's too early... to tell if...this is real...or not kim?

And if you're...correct about everything...you just theorized...how do you...explain your own...existence her as...a semi ghost?" Tacito asked.

"I'm not the important person here, you are.

Which is why we should talk about the coma idea!

So hear me out, Let's assume that There's two Tacito, you and the guy you're currently possessing his body.

This can only happen under few rare circumstances, like falling into a coma!" Kimberly said, "So you're trying...to say that...in this world...when the 11...years old Jade...accidentally caused the...other Tacito's horse...to freak out...and drop him...he ended-up...falling into a...coma...then got possessed...later on by...me when I...myself...got possessed by...Edward." Tacito replied.

"Bingo! If we're assuming everything correctly, Your doppelganger's soul is currently stuck in a sleeping faze, and from what I studied at the academy, Coma patients although rare, can still end-up getting possessed by spirits of people that resembles them somehow, mostly these are the spirits of good people that have died before finishing important business or were removed somehow from their own bodies like your case.

But anyways the point is, You're Tacito, and he's also Tacito, you don't just resemble him, you're also him but from another world! so it's only natural that you ended-up in his body when he fell into a coma! Although how I don't really know." Kimberly said.

"Would the real...owner of this...body I mean...the other Tacito...wake-up while... I'm inhabiting his...body or will...he wake up...when I leave...eventually?" Tacito asked.

"Umm well...it's a big chance that he's still gonna be stuck in a coma, even when you eventually leave his body, but there might be a miracle and he might wake up on his own at any time from now." Kimberly said unsure.

"Poor guy I...owe him an...apology." Tacito said, "Why?" Kimberly asked.

"I'm in his...body for starters...I also slept...with his Yurei...which essentially means...I have accidentally...cheated on my...Yurei...not to mention...it's sad that...he's stuck in...a coma when...everyone in this...world believes he...woke up because...I woke up... instead of him!" Tacito replied.

Feeling sad for her friend and herself, "Well, you're Also a victim here, it's not like you wanted to posses his body, not to mention what happened between you and the other Yurei isn't really your fault but mine...since I encouraged you to believe this is a Fantasy world." Kimberly said.

Sighing, "I just hope...my Yurei can...understand that when...I get back." Tacito replied.

"I'll talk to him with you! It's my responsibility to fix my mess! So I'll make sure your mate doesn't blame you for what happened!" Kimberly said with determination.

"Then I'm counting...on you sugar." Tacito replied smiling softly, he then glanced at his bedroom window.

He could see that morning was barely an hour away as they both spent the night talking, "Do you think...they're asleep on...the other side?...our friends?" He asked.

"I dunno...maybe we should sleep, we've been up all night." Kimberly replied.

"I hope my...baby is safe..."

"Don't worry we'll get back soon, only 6 days left and then you'll be back to your fiance and your baby."

"You seem cheerful...and optimistic Kim...are you looking...forward to go...back too?" Tacito asked.

Smiling, Kimberly glanced herself at the window, "I don't have a mate or a child waiting for me like you do, but I have a group of friends, they are my chosen family who must be worried sick about me.

I'd like to go back soon and let them know I'm okay, also...I'm looking forward to going back to working on that movie project." Kimberly replied.

...Few hours later...

Tacito has fallen asleep on his bed shortly after conversing with Kimberly, she herself was asleep and was laying besides him when all of the sudden there was a loud bang on the door.

Groaning in annoyance, "Taci!...ugh, I think...someone is knocking on your bedroom...door!" Kimberly spoke-up.

Tacito slowly opened his eyes and sighed as he glanced at the alarm clock on his nightstand, it says '10:35'.

"Seriously...I was hoping...I could sleep...in a little...more." he said then carefully got-up from the bed.

Since he slept wearing a nightgown dress, he decided to quickly change before opening the door, he didn't feeling like walking out of the room in a revealing silky nightwear.

So he searched in the closet and found a cute mini coffee brown tunic dress with long sleeves that he put on, with a pair of sandals.

While the banging continued, Tacito was Fixing his hair and makeup as fast as he could.

"Ugh Make It Stooooop!" Kimberly whined about the loud knocking on the door, "Goodness...can't a guy...dress-up in...this damn castle!... I'M COMING OUT! PLEASE BE PATIENT!" Tacito screamed at the door and the banging suddenly stopped.

Sighing, "Goodness...I was about...to get seriously...angry." Tacito said while putting the final touch to his look, a pair of boho leather earrings he found.

Now done with dressing up, Tacito headed for the door and unlocked it.

"Ned?" Surprised to find the doctor waiting on him with a seriously worried look on his face, Tacito asked "Doctor, why were...you knocking on...my door like...there's no tomorrow?!"

"Umm...I...shit...now that I got your attention I don't know how to say it!" Ned said nervously.

Although she was still groggy and sleepy, Kimberly was intrigued by Ned's arrival so she decided to leave the bed and go check what's happening.

Yawning, "What's going on?" She asked although she didn't expect an immediate answer, after all Ned can't see her and Tacito can't talk to her while Ned's watching.

"You're worrying me...Doctor?" Tacito said.

"Listen, I need to know something...who the hell are you?! Because as sure as hell, you're not his highness Tacito, at least not the one I know." Ned asked.

Shocked, "Wait, What?!" Kimberly said.

"I suppose that...means that your...theory Kim darling...is true after...all.

This isn't some... fantasy world it's...a real one...and I'm stuck...in my other...version's comatose body." Tacito replied.

...An hour or so later...

When Tacito first began explaining everything to The other Ned Valentino, he imagined the doppelganger of his favorite doctor would be less understanding and open minded than the Ned he knew and loved because this new doctor hasn't seen a quarter of what The original Ned Valentino has.

But to Tacito's surprise, Ned number 2 was pretty good at taking everything Tacito threw his way, he remained patient and calm as possible listening while Tacito explained everything from how he got to this world, to the fact that a ghost version of Kimberly is standing nearby watching them.

The two were sitting on the edge of Tacito's Ned, while Kimberly stood facing them, watching curiously as Ned seemed like he was trying to locate her with his eyes.

"Umm since I can't see or hear her but she can...can Kimberly like give me a sign to let me know she's here?" Ned asked.

Nodding, Tacito turned to Kimberly and asked her, "Kim sugar do...you think you...can prove you're...here to the... doctor?"

Smiling, Kimberly nodded understandingly and decided to grab something from one of Tacito's nightstands, it was a small brown cat-shaped status that kinda reminded her of choco, Tacito's cat pet.

When Ned saw the Statue floating in the air, it was enough of evidence for him to support Tacito's claims, "Wow! This is officially the weirdest day of my life." He said.

Giggling, "His expression is funny!" Kimberly said making Tacito smile, "Kim thinks that...the face you're...Making is funny... Doctor." He spoke-up.

"WHAT! And who's fault is that!" Ned replied annoyed, "Anyways...*sighing* you guys should probably tell Yurei.

Although it might break his heart to know the truth, I believe him knowing could be helpful to keep your existence quiet." Ned added suggesting.

"You think the others shouldn't know?" Kimberly asked, "Kim is asking...if you're suggesting...to keep me...being a different...Tacito, a secret." Tacito said.

"Yeah, I mean if you wanna tell everyone, that's your choice but I'm just saying, you're currently inhabiting the body of Derora and Junglaya's heir to the throne, the other Tacito this kingdom's prince.

If word got out he's in a coma or possessed or anything of that sort, it could cause a huge problem, especially to me." Ned replied.

"Is it because...Jade was the...one who caused...the accident that...led to The...other Tacito's coma?" Tacito asked.

"Precisely...Listen I don't wanna sound like a villain but the last thing my daughter needs to know now is that she have accidentally Put the heir to the throne out of commission.

Look, When I first examined the other Tacito after his horse-fall, he was suffering from A head injury which is why it was normal that he didn't wake-up for several days, but still it didn't seem like the injury was serious, not to mention the rest of his body was healthy.

If you get exposed for being someone else, before we find a way to fix this situation, my daughter could get branded as a criminal even if what happened was an accident!" Ned explained.

"To be fair...exposing my identity...could be even... A danger to...me personally but...wouldn't it be...better to let...the other in...on the secret...so they can...help?" Tacito asked.

"For now, I'm begging you, let's keep it a secret, only tell Yurei until we figure something out." Ned replied.
