princess Amber

** I woke up to a splitting headache as I looked around me, my surrounding felt different and for a moment I thought I was dreaming , I was still sinking in my surroundings when a girl walked in, my lady you are awake! she said running to me and hugged me , while bawling her eyes out, you scared everyone milady, thank God you are okay, I stood still trying to take in what she was saying, I must inform his Majesty of this , everyone has been worried sick about you, stop! stop!, I said trying to make sense of what she was saying, who are you? and where's this? I asked her, and instead of replying me , she cried again, you don't remember me milady she asked?, it's me tricia your handmaiden. ** who do you think I look like ?, I asked her worriedly, you are princess Amber milady, she said looking more worried, are you joking with me right now?, I asked tapping my foot on the floor, I looked down at what I was wearing and I felt like all those dresses worn by actresses in a historical movie, even my waist felt tight and my chest stuffy, Tricia right? I called out, he nodded vigorously, are we shooting a movie or something I asked, what's a movie my princess? she asked trying to process what I mean, are you kidding me right now, did you call me a princess? yes you're princess Amber, , my name's Vivian, what's my bussiness with any princess , she started crying again, milady , it seems you're suffering from memory loss, I must inform his Majesty and queen immediately, she said hurriedly leaving the room, I paused , remembering something I needed to look at my self , searching for a mirror, I found one on a wooden stool, and immediately I saw my reflection I screamed, bloody hell! , who's this , this can't be me no! no !, , how is it I look like someone else. ** I slumped down on the floor with a loud thud, the universe must be playing with me, last I remembered I was on my way to work about to close the road when all I heard was cars horning and next thing I knew I was awake here, was I in a coma ?, did I get in an accident, I grew more worried, what are my supposed to do now, my father , he must been waiting for me to be back, wait if I was here does that mean the real amber was occupying my body, I felt a chill at the thought of someone else occupying my body. ** soon a man and a woman walked in, thank goodness amber , you finally woke up she said hugging me, it's been almost a week since you fell down, I can't even get off the image of you falling down the stairs, I fell down the stairs? I asked to no one in particular, you don't remember anything?, no I said, my daughter the man next to her called rubbing his hands on my hair, it's good you are fine, we would make preparations to celebrate your recovery, please who are you two? I asked and watched as their eyes widened in confusion, you don't remember us?, we are your parents amber, turning to Tricia he asked? what exactly is wrong with her?, I don't know your Majesty, milady didn't even recognize me, she said crying, get the royal physician he said and I watched as she bolted out of the door. ** soon she returned with a man who looked to be in his Early forties, who I assumed was the physician, check the princess, she seems not to remember anyone of us , he said frowning, yes your Majesty, and the physician moved close to me , please sit your highness, he said and I sat down, I was also curious to hear what he had to say, he held my hand reading my pulse and after a few minutes, he said, her highness seems to have suffered from a slight concussion due to the impact from the fall, is she going to be alright , the woman who was amber's mother asked seemingly worried, she would be fine, perhaps taking her round the palace and acquainting her with faces she's familiar with would speed up the recovery he said bowing as he left. ** you heard the physician, I would ask the maids to serve lunch, as soon as she's well rested take her to the portrait room, and also show her things she used to like, yes your Majesty Tricia bowed, turning to me , he looked at me, get well daughter he said leaving with the queen. I sat down on the large bed, still trying to process my thoughts, who knew I would time travel to the historical era , talk more of taking over a princess body , Tricia walked In again, my lady dinner is ready, she said , would you like for me to draw you a bath, or would you like to eat first?, I would like to eat first I said and she lead me out of the room. we walked down the large halls built from fine wood, even though this were the historical time, the building architecture was still impeccable, everywhere looked neat and tidy , every one bowed as I walked by, I wasn't used to it and I almost had bowed back, we got to a large hall which contained a large table and a lot of food were set on the table, I sat down, luckily no one else was around, I looked at the food on the table and to be honest I had no idea of what I was looking at, I looked for the one I felt was least edible and bit down on it, it tasted like potato that had been coated on corn flour, my eyes landed on the apples on the tray , and I took them biting down on it, soon I was satisfied. ** the table was soon cleared, I stood up only to see Tricia beside me, have you been standing here all these while? I asked, yes my milady it's my duty to serve you, you must be hungry too sit down I said , turning to the girl who was packing the food, I asked her to leave it, sit down Tricia I don't feel comfortable with the way you're standing, I wouldn't dare my princess, it's my duty to serve you , is there a rule like that over here I asked curiously and she nodded without missing a beat .
