Chapter 22 (Lost)

I couldn’t hide anymore. I needed to tell Reece who exactly I am.

I slowly walk to the Prince's chambers. I knock on the door and I take deep breaths. What should I expect? Imprisonment? Hatred? I don’t want either.

“Come in.” Its time. I need to tell the truth.

“Hey… I need to tell you something important. Are you busy?”

“Not for you. Come in!” He smiles like always. I feel the tears coming but I hold them in.

“You might hate me forever but I need you to know that I never meant to hurt you.” I just had to say it as soon as possible. I couldn’t hold my tears for long.

“What are you trying to say? I will never hate you.” He says with his eyes that he's worried I would be too if I was him.

“You know the princess who died 5 months ago… She is alive.” The shock on his face said that he needed more answers and those answers could make him hate me for eternity.

“What? How… How do you know that she is alive? I don’t understand?” he was confused and scared.

“I know because I…I-“ He cut me off before I could even answer him.

“Do you know her? Where is she? We need to get her back to her kingdom!”

“I don’t know her… I am her.” He had so many questions written on his face and I just did not want to answer them.

“Stop lying to me. This is not a Joke! Where is she?!” He was furious he still couldn’t believe that I am Lillian Bower.

“I am Lillian Bower. And I think you always knew it. You saw my eyes the first day I was in this palace and you immediately recognized me didn’t you?” A tear escaped my face and I had to hold on just a bit more.

“I-WHY TELL ME KNOW? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?”

“I can't explain everything but Someone is trying to kill me and it's someone very powerful. I had to stay in hiding to find out who and what exactly they want. I just couldn’t tell you.”

“So all the times you said that you had to tell me something it was this? You hid this from me even though you loved me and I was a fool to ever trust you.” I felt like someone was ripping my heart out and cutting it into a million pieces.

“I'm sorry I tried to but I knew that you would hate me.” Tears were part of my face now.

“Your wrong about that. I don’t hate you” What? How could he not?

“I just don’t think I can trust you anymore Lillian.” This is the first time he said my actual name while I was here in this palace and it felt bitter when he said my name. He was disappointed and was sad. I made the person I love sad. I hate myself right now.

“I need to be alone now just go.” He says and I just get up and walk towards the door and have my hand opens the door I stop.

“I really am sorry and I do love you,” I say before closing the door and crying like there is no tomorrow.

I compose myself and I head towards my room. I felt a presence behind me but when I turned around I couldn’t see anyone. Maybe it's just all in my mind. I just have a really bad feeling. I should be on my guard.

As soon as I open my room and someone gaged me and slowly I lost consciousness.

I open my eyes to find Eve looking at me and I looked at my surroundings and I couldn’t recognize it.

“Why? I thought we were friends? Why?” I look at her. I understood her and I know that she was betrayed and doesn’t even know it. She is not a bad person but a person who was deeply hurt by others' mistakes.

“You are not Sara Lilly! You are Princess Lillian the daughter of the monsters who betrayed us!” Us? Oh my god am I not in the kingdom anymore? Am I in a lion's den?

“Where am I!?”

“You are in the devil's angels underground.”

I am Lost.
