I was like a withered plant walking towards someone who could help me.
To this day I still struggle to find the reason why Saiko is so mad at me.
She told me that Juana likes me, and that would make my mind even more confused.
Juana is a gay, how come that he likes me?
I shook my head as I reached Froze's house behind the University.
I would have been ready to knock when I heard a voice from nowhere.
I stepped to my feet to find out from whom the two talking voices were coming from.
I smiled when I saw the person I was looking for. "Froze," I whispered smiling.
I was about to talk to him but I also quickly hid in the wall when I saw that he was talking to someone.
It's Hero.
I peeked slowly to find out what they were talking about.
I know mommy and daddy taught me not to listen to other people's talk, but Froze's face was serious so I was worried.
"What kind of job did he offer you this time, Hero?" Froze asked.
I could clearly see the nervousness on Hero's face as he bowed.
"H-He told me to protect the princess at all costs, Froze," Hero replied.
Froze laughed which gave a shiver to my body. Why do they talk so seriously?
"Yet you didn't say a word when I asked you back then. What's wrong, Hero? You're on his side now?" Froze's voice asked sarcastically here.
"It's not like that, Froze. He didn't know that you were the owner of this universe. I lied and told him that the owner is your other brother, and he won't care. So when he found out that I was here entering, he immediately told Victoria to transfer the princess here, "Hero's long litany.
I paused for a moment. Did I just heard my mom's name? But there are many Victoria in the world and I don't know what they are talking about.
"You should have told me first, Hero. It's not like I know now that you're secretly watching me from afar. She's mine, Hero. You knew that from the very start but you never bothered to utter a word?" I gasped when I saw how mad Froze's face is.
Even I was nervous at the aura he was displaying. I wonder what Hero's feeling right now.
I just decided to turn around and walk away. Why am I eavesdropping anyway?
I should no longer listen to the talk of others especially and they seem to be talking personally.
I hadn't gone far enough when I heard my own name from Froze's mouth.
"Tell him to stay away from Arrow. I will never let her go back to Korea and gain her memories back just for her family. She's living a normal life here and we'll live together without them."
I swallowed as I listened to what Froze was saying.
I'm certain that he uttered my name. It's me. And he just said the word 'Korea' and 'memories'.
I turned to Froze as I listened to everything I heard.
Is there any chance the Froze knows something about my past? About my lost memories?
Who in the world are you, Froze? Who am I?
"Baby, were you still there?" I was slightly taken aback when I saw Froze in front of me.
I sneezed first before trying to smile. "No, I actually just arrived."
I scratched my nape and even pretended to look at his back.
"Are you talking to someone? I was about to go inside in case I heard your voice, n-did I disturb you?" I will ask.
He shook his head. "Ofcourse not, my angel. I just--"
"F-Froze, I'm going." Suddenly Hero came out of nowhere.
I saw how his eyes widened when he saw me but I just smile at him.
Froze threw death glares over him, I can see it with my own eyes that he's raging in anger with those stares.
"Remember what I told you, Hero. I'll keep an eye on you," he warned Hero.
I was swallowed up by the tension that enveloped the two of them.
I could clearly see how Froze's evil looks followed Hero as he walked away.
His jaw clenched as he gaze at him.
"Froze," I called to his attention.
When he took care of me, his expression changed immediately. He smiled sweetly at me before carressing my face.
"Hey, baby. I'm sorry, what is it?" he asked smiling.
"I g-gotta go now, I just wanted to see you but I suddenly remembered that I still have work to do," I said.
I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes but he managed to smile. "I see, I'll take you to your dorm."
"I'LL be fine here, Froze. Thanks for the delivery," I said with a forced smile.
I know he sensed something wrong but he didn't say anything. He just held my hand and kissed it. "Let's talk tomorrow, my baby."
I waved goodbye as he walked away from me. I'm sorry for acting this way, Froze. I just have to check on something.
I saw Saiko sitting on the sofa looking at me but I just passed her. I really need to do something important and it does not concern her.
I hurried into the room and opened the laptop.
I immediately typed my name and search for something.
I tried to find my name among people who lived or were residents of Korea. But no Arrow Perez came out.
Just a result where 'Princess of Korea, Arrow Vlood' is listed
I just ignored that because my last name is not Vlood.
I was about to click the exit when I accidentally scrolled down.
The title of a particular article caught my attention. "Princess of Korea, Arrow Vlood, involved in a car accident. '
Then it suddenly hit me. My dream. I'm sure that I heard the word 'princess' and 'Korea' coming from them.
This woman, this princess, what is her connection to me?
"Hey, Arrow, what's up?"
"K-Kuya Ace, I'm sorry if I just called again," I really felt sorry for calling him just now.
He has done a lot for me, and this time, I really need his help one more time.
"It's okay, I know you're busy Arrow. By the way, why were you called?" he asked.
I bit my lower lip. "I need your help, brother. And it's very urgent."
"Hmm? Why? Is it about your laptop again? I already fixed it, Uncle Henry took it from me last week," he responded.
"No, it's not about my laptop, brother. Aren't you an expert when it comes to hacking?" bite-most I asked.
"Ah, yeah. Why? You want me to help you hack someone?" he promised with a laugh.
"It's not like that, brother. But I want you to search something for me, and no matter what happens, don't tell this to mom and dad." I really hope mom and dad will forgive me after this.
I'm sorry for hiding something from the both of you.
"I'll do everything I can, princess. You saved my wife and I'll pay you this time. So what's the matter?" Thank you to Ace! Such a hero!
"Could you please check if the documents regarding my accident are real? You can hack the Hospital's data in a short time right?" I asked as I fiddled with my laptop.
I sent him the documents he'll need.
"Okay, got it. Just wait a little."
I first sat opposite the laptop while waiting for him.
I continued reading the article I saw.
This princess right here, she's involved in a car accident last 2 years and I lost my memories also ... Last 2 years.
She's the daughter of Mesaion and Canapia. The empress and crowned prince of Korea.
And she's also the granddaughter of the current emperor, Gunner Vlood.
I tried to find a picture of my name but I couldn't find one.
The article also said that no one knows the princess' face.
"Hey, Arrow, still there?" I winced when older brother Ace suddenly spoke from the other line.
"Yeah, brother. Have you found anything yet?" my polite question.
"This is weird, Arrow." I frowned at what it said.
"Brother, why? Is there something wrong with what I sent? It's the exact document I--"
"These documents are fake," he iterrupted.
I was devastated to hear what he said.
"F-Fake?" I asked.
"Yeah, they were never involved in an accident. But you, you really had an accident based on the tests done on you. And I also checked the CCTV footage when they brought you to the hospital. June 21st, 2016. The doctors run some test on you pero hilom na ang ibang sugat mo. It means that they brought you to the Hospital two or three weeks after the accident. " My mouth hanged open after hearing that.
They said, we had an accident at the same time.
I was said to have the worst injuries of the three of us, but why didn't they take me to the Hospital immediately after the accident?
"Arrow." I came to my senses when my older brother spoke.
I swallowed hard. "Y-Yes?"
"You'll be fine if I tell you this one, right?" My chest rumbled loudly at what my older brother said.
"W-What is it?"
"They aren't your real parents." I cried a lot there.
I covered my mouth to stop myself from sobbing.
I knew it. Since from the very start, they already lied to me.
"You aren't a Perez. They never had a kid in their life as a married couple. They also bought some medicines from Doctor Ocampo which prevents you from remembering." I cried even more with that information he said.
They lied to me. During the two years I have been with them, they have been fooling me for a long time.
How dare they tell me not to lie when in the first place they are the ones who lied to me ?!
They hid everything from me. Even my identity, they hid everything so until now I don't know who I really am.
I should have search for it first. I sensed that there's something wrong whenever I ask about my past and they don't answer me.
"You're so stupid, Arrow, plain stupid," I whispered to myself crying.
"You are not, Arrow. You just can't remember your past. I'm really sorry for you." I closed my eyes tight when older brother Ace spoke from the other line.
As soon as I woke up, I moved the keyboard correctly.
An article appeared in front of me while older brother Ace was speaking.
"When the first time I saw you, I thought you were a princess from a rich family. You look like a royatlty especially with those golden eyes. And I suspected something but I chose to be silent. And now I know you're not they're real children, my gut feeling is even stronger, Arrow. "
"What is it? Tell me," I coldly promised.
"It seems like ... You are Arrow Vlood, the princess of Korea."
Victoria
Trembling I held Henry's hand as we were inside the large closet.
"Shh, honey, stay silent," he mouthed.
I shook my head in tears. "Henry, who a-are them? Why are they chasing us?" Almost in a whisper when I said that.
He shut his eyes tight as he caress my face.
"Be quiet, honey. They'll leave soon, we'll survive, okay?" he said with his teary eyes.
"I love you, H-Henry," I whispered to him as I kiss his lips.
"I love you too." We both hugged each other as we heard the door opened.
"I hope Arrow will forgive us once she finds out about everything." I gave him a sweet smile.
"She'll forgive us. She's a good person, Victoria. I know we raised her well. And she'll be a good girl even if her memories came back," he responded.
He left a sweet smile before I heard the gunshot.
I saw blood coming from his head before I felt the pain as a metal went through my head.
Forgive us, Arrow. Sorry.
I might be the princess of Korea?
I chuckled on that thought. I no longer knew what I would doubt.
Everything makes sense. I kept on dreaming about that woman who looks exactly like me.
Only two people can give me light. They're Henry and Victoria.
They both lied to me, so I assume that they'll tell me the truth especially and I already know the truth.
I hurriedly put my things away on the table.
I have to leave right now, I don't care if I'll be punished for leaving the University on weekdays.
Breaking the rules will be fine as long as I'm the one who's breaking it. Who cares about the rules right now?
When I was sure that everything I needed was inside, I got up from the seat.
I hadn't even gotten close to the door when it suddenly opened.
"A-Arrow?" I frowned when I saw that Saiko had opened the door.
What does she need this time? I swear I'll slap her back if she tries to hit me again.
"What is it?" I asked angrily.
"I j-just want to say sorry about last night," she said while biting her lower lip.
I secretly smiled. Last night, she slapped me so hard that it was as if we weren't together.
But why is she so guilty right now? Did he turn his head somewhere?
"Get out of my way." I pushed him to get out the door.
Barriers.
I almost reached the door but she quickly grab me.
"Arrow, please listen to me first," he begged.
I glared at him and violently snatched my arm from his grasp.
She looks guilty.
"It's my fault, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what happened last night, I was just angry so I hurt you," she said while crying.
I felt my chest ache from her crying, but I ignored it.
"Get off, I'm going." I was about to leave again when he pulled me again.
"I want to say goodbye, Arrow. I'm planning to leave the country. You're the last one I told because I'm afraid you might still be mad at me. But I just really want to apologize and say goodbye to you Sabrina," she sincerely said.
I was silent for a moment as I looked at him.
"Be careful," I simply said 'then left him inside the room.
There was a rush in my every move when I came out of the dorm.
I just passed the students looking at me, I just went straight until I got to the gate.
Four guards immediately blocked me at the entrance.
"It's emergency, let me out," I coldly promised.
"I'm sorry, but you have to show us your slip," a man replied.
My jaw clenched with what he said.
I walked straight to get past them. But they're really trained because they quickly grabbed me.
I pulled the bag back and slapped the head of one. I kicked the man's chest behind me.
"Get off!" I shouted angrily at the two left.
"Call the dean, Casper, now!" rebuke of one.
Before the man could run, I immediately kicked the back of his knee.
She knelt on the floor so I quickly grabbed her hair and faced her companion.
"Let me out or I'll kill both of you," I threatened.
The guy didn't flinch, he grabbed his gun from behind alerting me.
I punched the man's face infront of me and ran in the direction of the rest of the man.
As soon as he raised the gun, I pulled it out and snatched it from him. I slapped her face with the handle.
I was still not satisfied and I even scolded him.
I took a deep breath while looking at their bodies. I can't believe that I actually did these. What's happening to me?
I tearfully looked at the hands and shook. "What in the world are you Arrow?"
"VICTORIA! Come out with your fucking husband! Face me!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as soon as I step inside.
No one answered me, nor did any helpers come out to meet me.
Where the hell are they ?!
"Victoria! Henry!" I shouted again but no one answered.
Annoyed I threw the bag on the sofa to look for them. I'm sure they're home because they don't have much of a schedule on such a day.
"Victoria!" I shouted as I went back and forth in the living room.
I decided to go to the kitchen to ask the helpers there, but I was surprised at what I came across.
My eyes widened in shock after seeing the maids covered with their own bloods.
I quickly approached their bodies to see if they were still alive.
I sighed in relief when I checked their pulse and they're still alive.
I quickly reached for the cellphone and called for an ambulance.
Then I hurriedly threw it on the table and ran to the room of the people I was looking for.
I'm sure that something happened and they're also involved. I don't know why my chest is beating so hard.
They need to be alive.
Don't die yet, Victoria, Henry. Don't die. I still need to know the truth.
Please, don't die.
I was completely weak when I opened their room.
No, no. They can't be dead!
"V-Victoria, Henry! Shit!" I tugged at my own hair and slid through the door while watching their bloody bodies.
I quickly crawled towards their bodies to find the wrist.
But no matter where I touched them I could find no hope that they were still alive.
I punched my chest when I felt the pain inside.
"W-Why?" I asked their dead bodies.
"How dare you die without telling me the truth ?!" I hit the wall I was leaning against.
"I told you not to die ... I t-told you not to die! Why didn't you listen to me ?!" I shouted angrily while remembering those days that we're still together.
I looked up as I tried to grope the wind. I can't take it anymore, it's killing me.
"Who's going to tell me the truth when you're gone? Why do you have to die without fixing everything you guys ruined ?! Why did you guys lied to me in the first place ?! Who am I really, huh ?! Who am I really?!" I exclaimed while holding their hands.
"I told you not to die, Victoria, Henry. You guys are great t-teachers, but not a good l-listener. You never listen to me," I said almost breathlessly.
Simultaneously with the successive noise of the ambulance from outside was my emphatic blinking.
I'll torture those people who killed both of you, mom and dad. That's the last thing I can do for both of you.
Thank you, for raising a good girl like me. Sorry if I have to be a bad girl for a while.
