Heavy, my body felt heavy. I didn't know why though, everything was dark, however suddenly I heard a low humming, it reminded me of a lullaby I knew a long time ago. I paid more attention to the voice, it was Kai! My eyes opened slowly, my gaze was intense I could tell that much from his reaction. Why on earth was he here? But come to think of it, where were we? Were we still in Simon's mansion? I took a glimspe around and saw that we were in my bedroom. I slowly stood up and went to the balcony to get some fresh air, Kai tagging along with me.
- Why are you still around?
- No particular reason. By the way, did you know you are one step before anemia?
- Anemia? I repeated a bit suprised. It's true that I wasn't eating properly nor was I getting enough sleep. The wedding was so close and I wanted to be presentable, extra weight or any other imperfection was out of the question. Honestly, I was such a perfectionist that I was starting to scare myself.
- Yep, also... I want to know what are you planning.
- Planning? What on earth are you talking about?
- You, Regina Kingstar, certainly have ultirior motives, especially if you are to act so lovey dovey with a man you didn't even choose.
- You really wanna talk about my relationship with the man I am to marry in less than a day? I asked pointing the obvious.
- Regina, stop it already! Bella told me how you felt during your last encounter. I am sure you can't possibly love this man since you feel like the one who always gets the burden of protecting something.
- Burden? Simon isn't a burden. YOU are the burden here and as you know I tend to get rid of anything that bothers.
- Are you threatening me?
- I never threat, I am simply warning you. DON'T push me any further into your delusional ideas about love and honesty. I will not accept something so childinsh as a reality.
- Okay, no you're just stubborn. Why the hell do you have to be obsessed on the idea of always being right.
- In case you're forgetting I am doing this for my family. Can you guess the grief it would cause them if I were to make a mistake that would cost us a lot? Or more than that....
- What more could there be than your fear of losing perfection from your life.
- Perfection... hahaha... I wonder... when did I start getting so obsessed with this word?
- I don't know. Maybe the day your father told you to pretend to be that bastards lover or whatever it was you were supposed to play.
- No, it must have been before that... I believe it was when my mother was pregrant on Bella. It was when my father decided I should join the world at large instead of being locked up in a house... like a caged bird.
- Maybe he just wanted to give you some freedom.
- My father isn't THAT generous. Though truth be told... I did love him back then...
- "Back then"... What about now?
- Now... now I have shut my emotions away and turned into an emotionless freak. Ah! My bad! An emotionless freak obsessed over the word "perfection". Honestly, I should be locked up for pshycological treatment... at this rate I might seriously go mad.
- I ain't so sure about that one ya little blonde princess. He said in a teasing manner that was bound to annoy me.
- Speak properly, will you? You are from a rich background therefore you are to be speak properly at all times.
- Shut up! It's not your problem. Blondie.
- Oh! Is that so? You sissy face. I said and he pouted at my teasing. It's been so long since the last time I was able to tease him and act friendly. The last time was when we were kids.
- Who are you calling a sissy face you.... nerd!!!! He said and without any idea why I bursted out laughing.
- Seriously? Nerd? That's the best you could come up with? Come on! You must have something better than that.
- What would you say?
- You dimwit.
- Hey! Meanie. He said and I gigled.
-Alright let's stop. I don't think we should do something like that.
- You say that but you're enjoying youreself, aren't you?
- I won't say no. But this and that are different matters.
- You... you're really good at fiding mistakes, you know that?
- Okay, now... Kai, would you please leave? I need to get some rest. Tomorrow I am getting married.
- Regina! No! Please, come with me! Let's go someplace elsewhere! I am sure you won't be happy with Simon!
- I'm sorry Kai but I have already made my mind... though... I would lie if I said that I don't have a greater worry than my wedding.
- Is it your father?
- Partly. I said and that made him worry.
- Is there something else?
- Nothing important. Anyway, you should leave. You have extended your stay more than necessary. I said and he seemed upset over my sudden cold attitude. Though it wasn't something so unusual.
- Regina, please... listen to me. Simon will never be able to make you happy... dammit! I doubt you care at the slightest about him.
- Silenece! I wont allow any of this! You have no idea about how I feel, what I shared with you is a fragment of the whole thing! You should remember that well! I said and left my room, I knew that Simon would be in his office, lately he had been working hard for our future and I didn't want to disturb him. I asked a maid to inform him that I would like to speak to him once he was done with his work, I made sure to explain that it wasn't something important so it shouldn't bother him much. After that I went to the backyard where I sat for at least half an hour deciding what I should do. Inside me there was a battle between two different personas. The first one was Regina Kingstar, the eldest daughter who bore the title of the perfect girl, that cold hearted perfectionist who was capable of creating schemes beyond imagination, the other one was the little girl known as Regina, she had no title, no obligations, a carefree girl looking for love and companionship. Somehow I could feel the both of them dominting this body, each demanding to rule and proceed. And then there was me, that empty and confushed girl that was trying to keep them in balance. I was three people at the same time, inside me, I had splitted myself in three and now I was trying to figure which one was the real one.
