My life is a lie.
Those words start to really sink in once I am left alone in these sealed chambers. The maids have attached my ankles to the chains and I am chained to the wall so I cannot escape again.
Like I can escape anyway. I am grounded. I have no magic. I cannot fly to leave and I have no magic to handle space travel without a suit or a ship. In my current condition, it would be impossible for me to escape, a suicide mission. So why did they chain me? Why would the King chain up his daughter?
I cautiously look around the room. It is partially dark, with the corners darker than the rest of the room. There are no windows so I have no idea of what is going on outside of the room.
Silence.
The silence is beginning to fuel the insanity picking at me from inside. I have been grounded for far too long now.
It is beginning to take me.
The room slowly begins to darken. I begin to hear a faint whine in my ears. It slowly gets louder, just ever so slightly so I have to strain to notice. My vision slowly fades from the outside inwards and every minute my vision is becoming less and less.
This is it. It is taking me. I am going to die here. My father chained me and stored me away like I am some possession of his. I am never going to be happy again and my entire life is a lie.
A lie.
Nothing else.
I feel my body begin to shake, violently. I do nothing to stop the tears from falling. I am sweating heavily and my body begins to feel hot, feverish.
The feeling of dread accompanies the threatening insanity as it becomes overwhelming. I realize I have already accepted what is going to happen so these emotions start becoming stronger over time. That is probably a bad thing, obviously it is, but I literally cannot do anything about it.
My life has been a lie. Now I have to accept my punishment for ignoring my duties as princess.
Then my eyes widen as I realize something.
Wait. What if... what if my previous life WAS a dream? Like, what if I was supposed to do my duties, and the father in my dream was my real father giving me my orders. And once I realized I was supposed to marry, then my dream kicked in and allowed me to change it to whatever I wanted and my father let me? What if the dream ended when they found me and brought me back? But then why would my mother bring to me that guy and the girl who looks like me and tell me those things? That had to be a hallucination and my punishment will start soon.
