Shocking Truth

'Where... Am I?"

Diana asked herself. She unconsciously stared at the ceiling, wondering as if something strange had happened to her. The place is familiar yet unfamiliar, the design of the area is far from her room, and the bed... Is very comfortable.

'Is this a dream? If it is then...'

"Mother..." A strange voice echoed on her ears. "Mother are you awake?" Diana felt a hand holding onto hers. The touch is very light like feathers, yet her is heart glimmering with joy as if she's longing for that touch for a very long time.

'Mother....?' She asked.

"Idiot. Don't call her mother yet, you might shock her."

"Don't talk as if you're not the one who brought her here." A feminine voice replied. "Hey! She's not talking, She's not even moving, did you do something weird to her?"

"Ungrateful woman, Can't you at least be grateful because I brought your mother to you?"

"And what do you want me to do? Praise you? Oh! Thank you Lord Magician, I am really grateful to received such unexpected gift from you~ Tsk.. Lucas you Bastard! Did you even ask her permission?!"

"Oh about that...."

"Where am I?" Diana Interrupted the clash between the two. She's now wide awake after witnessing the argument between the young teens. She forcefully tried to get up from the bed, but the young woman immediately come to her to help.

Diana's eyes locked at the long golden hair of the young woman, her hair stunned Diana for a while.

'Golden as mine'

"Mother are you alright?" The girl asked while holding onto her. Diana can finally have a glimpse from the young woman's face. Her heart stopped for a heart beat.

'SHE EXACTLY LOOKS LIKE ME! but her eyes is crystal blue... Like a jewel. Her white skin compliments her beuatiful outfit well . She's very beautiful, no, no, no she's far from beautiful... She is gorgeous.'

But

"Mo...ther..?" Diana made a confused look.

'She called me mother, since when did I become a mother? I can't even remember myself getting pregnant... maybe this whole thing is only a dream.'

"Lucas, Explain it to her!"

"Me? Why me? You're the daughter aren't you?"

"LUCAS!"

"Fine! Fine! I'll do it"

Diana glance at the young man talking to the girl. Diana's expressions changed. She immediately raised her hand and point it to the boy.

'The young man from the grocery!' She recalled. 'Did he brought me here? Impossible, very impossible.. "

"Who exactly the both of you? And what am I doing here? You are the young man from the grocery, aren't you?" Diana asked in a calm tone. The confused expression on her face remained, but she needs to calm down.

The two young teens doesn't seem to bring danger to her. She is safe...right?

"Lucas talk!" The girl ordered the young man named Lucas.

"Tsk. I brought you here" He said. Athanasia glared at him. Lucas cleared his voice before talking again. "Lady Diana, I brought you here as a gift to Athanasia the princess of the Obelian Empire and you are currently on her room"

'Wait... WAIT! ATHANASIA? OBELIA?'

Diana laughed nervously. "Both of you... You are a fan right?"

"Fan?" Athanasia asked in curiosity.

"Athanasia is a character from my novel 'lovely princess' are you two pranking me? Did my publisher exposed my identity already?"

Athanasia's eyes became widely open. 'The reincarnation of Diana is the writer of that story?' Athanasia glanced at Lucas, but Lucas only gave her a meaningful look. 'Damn... How? Lucas, you better give me an explanation later'

"Unfortunately, we are not a fan" Lucas replied.

'But I have read your stories on my previous life' Athanasia thought. 'I still can't believe that you are the reincarnation of Athanasia's mother... Which is actually me'

"I'm telling the truth Lady Diana. That young woman is Athanasia and you are currently at the Obelian kingdom." Lucas explained to Diana.

'I can't remember writing a character named Lucas. If they are telling the truth and I got transported on my own story, then in what chapter am I currently at?'

"If this is a prank please, stop it. This is not funny" Diana calmly replied. She forcefully stand up and quickly made a step to reach the veranda. The two young teens only keep their eyes on her as she execute her actions.

"What the..." In shocked, Diana unconsciously uttered when she saw the view at the veranda. "T--this place.. Oh no, where exactly I am?"

"I told you Lady Diana, We are telling the truth. Do you want to see it for yourself? Try to go out and ask about where you are currently right now to some citizen outside, they will definitely have the same answer. You are in Obelia"

"Lucas, don't talk to her like that" the young woman who claimed Athanasia hissed at Lucas.

"If you are telling the truth then, what am I doing here? Why did you bring me here?" Diana asked them.

Lucas grunted for a moment before glancing at Athanasia. "Uh... Can we go inside first. Lucas will explain everything to you mama" Athanasia replied to Diana.

When Athanasia called Diana 'Mama' Diana's heart keep pounding as if she was longing for that word. She can't help it but gave the young woman a nod.

When Diana, and the two young teens was already inside. Athanasia sat on her comfortable bed quickly while Diana remained standing.

"Okay, Straight to the point" Lucas broke the silence. "As what I have said a while ago, I brought you here as a gift for Athanasia, Lady Diana. If you are not convinced then I have no choice but to show you some magic"

"Ma...gic?.." Diana asked.

Lucas smirked for a moment while Athanasia made a face. After a minute Diana almost scream when she felt that her body was floating. "Wh--what!"

"LUCAS! bring her down!" Athanasia demanded. Lucas quickly retured Diana to Athanasia's bed.

Diana is really shocked, she can't utter a word for a while, Athy and Lucas were telling the truth. She is not on Earth anymore!

"What have you done to her? Why is she not talking?" Athanasia angrily ask Lucas.

"Princess calm down, She's only shocked"

Athanasia shake Diana's shoulder. "Mother? Mother? Are you alright?" Athanasia asked. 'LUCAS YOU BASTARD! What have you done to her?"

"H--huh?" Athanasia fell at ease when Diana finally replied. "Wh--what?"

"Mama..."

Diana finally came back to herself. 'It was true, it was all true!' She thought. "Then why me? Of all people? Why did you bring me on my own novel? Is it because I am the writer?"

"What? This world is not a novel. And you being a writer is not the reason why I brought you here. Lady Diana, You are here for some deeper reasons" Lucas replied.

Diana recalled for a moment. 'Athanasia calling me 'mother'...'

"What's your reason?' Diana asked

"Lucas Told me that you are my Mother" Athanasia said. Diana's face were dumfounded. She's shocked to the core.

'I-i can remember naming Athanasia's mother as Diana but... No way. No way... In my story, Diana is a dancer from siodonna, she is indeed the mother of Athanasia who died after giving birth to her child.. but other than that....'

"Actually, You are the Reincarnation of Athy's Mother" Lucas replied.

Diana almost bitten her tounge from the shock. 'Me.. A reincarnation?'

"Wait geez... So I am Diana?" Diana asked. 'Wait.. I am indeed Diana, as in my name is Diana'

" Indeed! and you are my gift to this Idiot" He grinned.

"Oh shut up! I am not an Idiot"

"Th--then... Is that the reason why you're calling me mother?" Diana asked for confirmation. Athanasia gently nodded her head as a reply. "But I did not wrote anything about this..."

"Lady Diana... Come to think of it. You told us that you are a writer.. Right?" Lucas gave Diana a very meaningful smile. "How sure you are that your story was a pure fiction and not a memory of someone?"

Athanasia and Diana both stunned for a moment. "What are you..."

"I have to go, Princess. I have something to do. See you soon. Athanasia and Lady Diana"

Athanasia was about to stop Lucas from teleporting but... She was already late. While Athanasia was cursing at Lucas, Diana keep in silence while drowning on her thoughts.

'The Lovely Princess didn't came from my imaginations, I have dreamt of it, like someone was bugging me to do something about that, so I wrote it... But I does the young man mean? I don't get it... What do you mean Lucas?'
