The Land of Votumia: The Princess and The Villain

Chapter 4: Who Are You?

"HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!" The two were shocked as the woman in dress, who is Stella, shouted. "Princess, relax" the boy, who is Max ,calmly said to Stella as he looked at Mitch. The three who are still confused about what is happening; are sitting in the small living room while Max is preparing water for them.

        The two-floored small house could only have a small capacity of people inside it. The brown color was all over the house because everything was made of wood. Though it was small; it was organized and had fancy designs. The living room was in front of the small kitchen and beside it was the front door where Mitch knocked.

"So you are saying, Stella and I are more likely... twins?" Mitch asked as she looked at Stella.

"Not just more likely, but you are really twins!" Max exclaimed.

"But how is that possible?" Stella asked.

"I mean, my sister's dead," Stella continued as she thought.

"Maybe it's not true, what if your sister's still alive and here she is now" Max concluded.

"Ahm, excuse me, Maybe that is not true also. I've been living with my family since the day I remember and I think all of you are just mistaken." Mitch said fiercely.

"By the way, were you the one that everybody's been looking for? Girl, you should go home 'cause I'm the one who's suffering. Why are you here anyway?" Mitch added to Stella.

"I was just—

"She was about to run away," Max said quickly.

"NO!!! THAT IS NOT TRUE!" Stella exclaimed.

"Oh my gosh we're quite alike, I mean you better go home to that cliché house of yours. Their house is so big that I don't want to even step inside it AGAIN" Mitch said as she turned to Max while contradicting her thoughts.

"Again?" Stella asked.

"Yeah I just got there and got injured. By the way, don't you even have first aid here? I'm injured, right?" she added shrewishly to Max. The boy immediately went upstairs.

"Anyway, you're Stella, right?" Mitch asked.

"Yes and you're Mitch?" Stella answered.

"Yeah, well if you're thinking that I'm your dead sister, you better wake up from your fantasy. Maybe we just looked alike and just some coincidence." Mitch explained strictly.

"I don't think it should be finished with that." Stella said as she thinks.

"What do you mean?" Mitch asked.

"Maybe—

"Maybe because the rumors were true" Max suddenly jumped into the conversation while bringing some bandages.

"What rumors?" Stella asked.

"Well, there were some people who said that your sister was rescued by Rigor's servants and Rigor just said that your sister's dead," Max explained as he gave the bandages to Mitch.

"But Mother and Father told me that my sister's dead," Stella insisted.

"You guys are so creepy that you give me goosebumps" Mitch said as she cures herself.

"Maybe that was fake," Max concluded.

"Maximus Ace, you better take your words back. You might have forgotten that we are talking about my sister who is also a princess of this land" Stella said fiercely.

"Alright, I take it back but if that's the case, then who is she?" Max said to Stella as he turned to Mitch.

"Nobody, literally nobody," Mitch said.

"But you are so much alike," Max added.

"Excuse me, we are actually different people. Look, Stella, when were you born?" Mitch insisted.

"15th of December" Stella answered.

"I was on 16th of December" Mitch turned to Max.

"And according to statistics, there are seven different persons that look exactly like you, still not satisfied with Maximus?" Mitch seriously said.

"I think something's going on that we need to uncover," Max slowly said.

"What do you mean?" Stella was confused.

"I think we need to find out what really happened back then" Max determinedly said.

"But that is dangerous don't you think? It's beyond our capability." Stella added to the two.

"I don't know but I think we should go our own ways. Since I'm done, I'm going home. Oh by the way, thanks for the bandage" Mitch quickly said as she stood up and turned around.

"Mitch wait" Stella quickly stood up and held Mitch's left shoulder; resulting in pulling her hot pink shirt.

"Ouch!" Mitch shouted as she turned to Stella.

"Mitch" Stella was confused again.

"What?" Mitch answered with an irritated voice.

"Why do you have a scar on your left shoulder?" Stella's faced was still shocked.

"I don't know it was there when—

Mitch didn't finish what she's saying.

"My Mother said that my sister was sliced on her left shoulder near her neck when my sister's on Rigor's hand, and probably causing a scar on my sister's shoulder." Stella confusedly explained.

"Stella, there are billions of people living outside your land and there might be some weird people who also have this?!" Mitch insisted.

"Then how can you also explain your necklace? " Stella added. Both girls are still confused.

"My mom gave this to me when I was small," Mitch said.

"That is also one of a kind, look" then Stella showed also her necklace. Both girls have the same necklace.

"Who are you really?" Stella asked.
