 What was happening?

 Who was she?

"Alexa, honey, can you go find your father for me? Mamma and Sarah need to talk," My eyes darted towards the voice. The woman had long platinum blonde hairs, beside her stood a child hardly looking five years of age.

Alexa pulled away and looked at her mother with a pout on her lips. 

 "Can I play with her later?" she questioned her mom. Her words were indicating how much she liked me even when I was meeting her for the first time. Her mother nodded. 

Alexa smiled and ran out of the room. 

 Well, feelings were mutual.

 I was in the same position, with wide eyes. 

Like she knew why I was here.
 

”So, umm-It's nice to see you here." She said looking at me. Her voice smooth, coated with honey that have a false hope that everything will be alright.

"How do you know me?" I couldn't recognize my voice, I never talked with so much venom before. 

Unfazed by my tone, she sighed. It was like she has expected this from me. 

She sighed.

"Look, Sarah. I know it's slightly shocking for you to be here but-"

"Slightly. Oh! Believe me, it's so much more than slightly!" I snarled at her. 

"Yeah, whatever. But please listen to me for once. I can explain everything." She said as she looked at me hopefully. There was thing about her that I couldn’t put my finger on. 

What made her think that her explanation could make me feel better? It was quiet startling to know that being a woman she was letting a man make her stay here against her will. 

And maybe she knew why I was here.

"Why am I here?" Without thinking twice, I blurted. She closed her eyes and sighed. Her long hairs swayed as she turned towards the table.

”Well, I will tell you everything you need to know but first please take a seat." She said hopefully, I moved towards the table and sit on the chair opposite her. I didn't had any particular memories that I would consider as good with this table and this chair and that wall and well, let's say, I didn't have good memories with any of this.

I shrugged off the bad thoughts. And focused on the lady sitting in front of me. I motioned her to start explaining. 

”I don't think it's necessary but I'm Angelina, Falcon's sister."

Falcon who I thought to be my friend? Was she talking about that Falcon?

"Yes, you are right. I am talking about Falcon Fiennes, whose real name is Falcon Finn Celeste. He is my younger brother and you must have met Nancy, she is also a member of this family. Her parents are serving Royals for a long time."

What was she even saying?

Everything was going over my brain, just like years ago when I was sitting in maths class. This much information was a lot to take in. I was being deceived since my childhood. If Falcon was her brother then why did I never come to know about her?

"Falcon was a child when he was sent away from here. He, along with the second in command with his wife, was meant to protect Falcon. They were told to act as his parents to not reveal his true identity. So that no one knows for he's a member of the royal family of Reynes."

Now everything made sense. I still remembered asking Falcon where he came from but he never said anything he would skillfully change the topic. I still remembered the day, he and his fake parents, came to live in town. He was ten at that time, and I was probably seven. 

But still, I was confused. 

But does all of this have to do with me?

WHY THE HELL I WAS HERE?

"And about your parents," she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, ”I didn’t wanted to break it like this but they are not your real parents." She said.

 My eyes blinked as I tried to sink in her words. 

 My parents?

 N-not real.

Th-they weren't my real p-parents.

"What do you mean?" I whispered as her words were hard to comprehend. Her eyes held so much worry. She was wondering what she should say. My senses refuse to believe it. My body couldn't believe it. And when I pondered over the word syllable by syllable, something warm and wet trailed down my face. 

I was feeling lost, hurt, shocked. 

Was she lying?

”They are not your real parents, they never were. Brian and Nancy were simply authorized to protect you but things didn't work as initially planned like they were supposed to. That's why they were told to act like your parents to look after you." She passed a plate of pancakes to me, but my appetite was long gone. Realising, I was not going to touch it, she continued, "The day two years ago Nancy and Brian were attacked by our enemies, the lack of blood and their critical condition worsened and when we went to summon them back, without you knowing. That's why their deaths were faked. Falcon was always there to protect you—"

"You're lying." I gulped as I tried to digest what she had just said. I was being lied my whole life? The friends who I considered as friends were never my friends, they were just protecting me. My voice was broken, defeated. 

Why were they protecting you?

If they were not my real parents, then who are my real parents?

So many questions, yet no one was giving me answers.

"This was supposed to happen. You we—"

This was supposed to happen?

I was supposed to be betrayed?

I was supposed to be lied to?

I was supposed to be here?

"No," I whispered stopping her in the middle of the sentence. She looked up at me dumbfounded.

"Wha—"

"THIS WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! I WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! YOUR BROTHER BETRAYED ME!" I screamed as I stood up from my chair, making the chair fall on the floor, I let everything out. Warm tears shed down my eyes. Uncontrollable sobs echoed around the room. I was not myself anymore. It was too much for me to take in.
