"She is me and I am her?" Stephanie chanted in utter confusion. She did not get a word the woman just spoke. "What the heck are you saying? Are you trying to say that we are the same people? How is that even possible?"
Although she hasn't gotten a glimpse of the strange woman and man's face but from their dressing and surrounding she could tell that their dressing wasn't the modern way everyone dressed so why the heck did the lady said that the lady was her?
"She is your past while you are the present," the voice said in an indifferent tone. Her words confuse Stephanie more.
What is she trying to convey? She is confusing more than I already am. She should speak in simple words I can understand instead of beating around the bush. She sounds like a crazy person to me at the moment.
Stephanie thought staring into space. For the first time, she wishes she could see whom she was communicating with.
"Do I look like a crazy person to you? You are the one who opted for something else out of the two options I gave you. You shouldn't blame me if you don't understand what I said. You wouldn't be this confused if you had opted for your past life story," the voice reprimanded her.
"You are right, despite not understanding what you meant by narrating my past heinous life to me, I should have asked you to explain. Now that I have realised my mistake, will you tell me what you meant by my past heinous life?" Stephanie asked boldly. "Although I don't recall living an evil life I still want to know what you have to say."
"That you can't remember does not mean that history does not," the voice snapped back at her. She could feel a tint of hatred in the voice and this further aroused her interest to know what actually happened in her so-called past that the woman was referring to.
"2,000 years ago, there lived a beautiful princess in the kingdom of Camelot. She was the most beautiful lady the world has ever recorded. Powerful Kings and Princes travel from far and near just to behold her beauty. Anyone who sets his/her eyes on her will utter this word on the sight of her, 'She is the fairest of them all'. That is to tell you how beautiful she was..."
"Why are you suddenly telling me a story about the world's most beautiful princess? I thought you wanted to tell me whom the mysterious lady haunting me in my dream is?" Stephanie cut the voice short.
Fairest of them? Is she snow white? I bet they were just hypocrites. They dare not say that she is ugly because she is a princess.
Stephanie thought rolling her eyes just at the thought of the princess the mysterious voice just mentioned.
"You thinking I am spewing lies?" The voice questioned sounding offended.
"Have a look at it. Let's see whether I was lying or not," the moment the voice stops talking. A video mysteriously starts playing on the wall.
Stephanie who has never witnessed such a thing before shivered. Since the day she steps foot into this Mansion, she has seen the impossible happened but this is the scariest of them all.
I can't believe this is happening? Has the wall suddenly change into a television or what?
Stephanie thought still in fear.
"Calm down and watch what I am about to show you or you will miss the better parts of it," the voice instructed.
Stephanie reluctantly did like she was instructed.
Beautiful sceneries like mountains, valleys, gardens, waterfall, springs and so on got displayed on the wall. After this beautiful sceneries appear the sight of a very magnificent Mansion. One thing Stephanie notices about this Mansions was how dimly lit it was.
So creepy? Who dares to live in such a dimly lit building. I bet it is creepy animals or monsters that live in it.
Stephanie shrugs her shoulders as she paid attention to every detail of the movie. She vowed to stop watching if she dares find out that it was monsters that were living in the creepy Mansion.
The video captured from one room to the other. About twenty rooms ranging from sizes to the textual designs passed before a very vast room came at sight. She did not know why but by mere gaze, she fell in love with the room which was painted in white. All other rooms she just saw earlier were painted in dark colours, she wondered why this particular room was an exception. After having a good view of the room she adores earlier, she now finds it strange when she noticed that apart from the walls every other thing in the room was in black.
I was right when I said that it was either strange animals or monsters that live here. Which human will have such a weird taste in designs.
Stephanie said still paying rapt attention to the video playing on the wall. The sight of a magnificent bed came in view. She could see someone wriggling under the black blankets. Stephanie instantly looks away when she saw that whatever was lying on the bed was about to climb out of bed.
"Stop getting distracted and watch. Open your eyes very well and stare at her," the voice order. Stephanie did not have a choice but to do like she was commanded.
"Wow.....," behold Stephanie exclaimed the moment she set her eyes on the beautiful lady who had such flawless skin. Her skin was like the purest jade she has ever seen. It was without any blemish.
"Is it possible for a human to be this pretty? Is she even a human?" Stephanie blurted out. She watched the lady wrapped herself up with her long black sleepwear. "She is indeed the fairest of them all?" Stephanie admitted loudly. One thing that did not escape her eagle-like eyes was the fact that the strange lady had a striking resemblance to her.
"Why do I feel like she looks so much like me. I admit she is a little prettier than me but apart from that she looks like my Doppelganger," Stephanie said but the voice never said a word to her. It was as if it thinks her words were unimportant at the moment.
"What the heck!" Stephanie exclaimed in shock when the lady's eyes instantly turned crimson red. An evil grin suddenly appeared on her beautiful face making her look so scary.
"What the heck is she?" Stephanie asked looking away.
