I never knew nor thought I'd share such a story of my life. But, I guess life is unpredictable. My name is May Heart, I am 16 years old and just got my driver's license. I worked at a clothing store in England, called Harlem's. I was simply walking out if my family's home, for school. As usual, I got in my car, went to get coffee, and drove to Harlem's.

After work though, something happened that changed my life forever. My father has always been in debt, and has many people after him, I guess since he never played off the debt, I was the target. I remember having someone put a weird cloth over my mouth in the stores storage room, while I was getting the clothes in there to out on the mannequins. Next thing I knew, I was in somewhere else entirely.

I woke up, and was in this magnificent room. The walls were a cream color, and had beautiful wall trim all across it, the bed I was on had the finest cloth I'd ever felt. I was so confused. Where was I? I saw a large mirror to the left of my bed, and to my surprise, I wasn't the May Heart I knew. I was someone else.. Literally.

My brown hair was gone, and now I had blond hair?! My skin was as white as snow, and my eyes were a color of purple. I was so bewildered. What had happened to me? I noticed I was wearing a beautiful white lace night gown. To my surprise, I saw bouquets of beautiful flowers, and gifts on the table across from the bed, interested, I walked over to see them, but it was strange, They were labeled, "To Princess Gloriana Heart Hunstinglay." I looked at the mirror, and back to the gifts. Then suddenly, it all ,made sense. Footsteps suddenly echoed the halls of this place, and the room I was in.

A girl in a neat yet plain dress and shoes with dark pink hair in a bun, came in and said, "Here doctor, as you can see her highness is still asleep-" to my surprise, she looked at me and happiness filled her eyes. She ran to me and hugged me, saying, "Your highness! Your awake! Ah!- Dr. Polon, please check the princess to see if she is alright!" I assumed the doctor or whomever the man was, was Dr. Polon. He had me sit down and did a check up on me, while the girl frantically watched while playing around with her fingers. The man looked a little worried and said, "Miss Willow, I believe your princess has gotten amnesia from falling into the ocean.."

The girl in the room whom I assumed was Willow said, "OpWhat?! H-How will his majesty react?! What do I do.." Mr. Polon sighed and said, "I'm not sure, but until his majesty is back from tending to his royal duties, I reccomend you help her regain her memories." Willow nodded glumly, and mumbled something about my father who ever he was here.

Dr. Polon then left, closing the door silently. I looked at the girl, and said "Who are you? Where am I? Who am I?" in a robot like voice, Willow, which I assumed her name was, sighed and said, "I am Willow your highness, I have been your personal maid since you were 10, and I'm only a year older than you. We have been friends since then. You are currently in the Royal Palace, in the Orlon Empire, which rules over North, South, West, and East Orlon, with Orlon Dynasty in the middle of it. They are 5 separate countries all ruled by your father and mother. Emporer Gordon Hunstinglay, and Empress Julian Hunstinglay."

I nodded as I slowly started to remember and regain the memories of this person named Gloriana Heart Hunstinglay. Willow took a minute to breath and then said, "You only have a younger sister who is 8 years old, Harlyn Grace Hunstinglay whom you are very close with. You are the Crown Princess, and the heir to the throne." she paused as I took all of this in and then continued. "You've always been very kind hearted to those who are in need, but other nobles are very stuck up to you, and sometimes try to use you for personal gain."

Willow stopped and looked at me. I nodded and said. " Can I know more about this Orlon Empire?" WpI said softly, it was almost a whisper. Willow smiled and started talking again. "The empire has lasted for about 10 generations of your family, and before was just barren land where wars just happened between colonies." Willow said. Then, footsteps suddenly echoed the room, and kept getting louder by the second as they got closer, I played there, confused and dumbfounded by what was going on.

Willow jumped up and walked to the door and bowed, as a man and woman holding hands came in. The man had black hair, and deep purple eyes that I think would just about intimidate anyone who looked at them. He wore exquisite clothing, and seemed to be in his forties, or late thirties. The woman next to him had blonde hair and snow white skin like me, but had beautiful green eyes. She wore an elegant white gown with red accents, and had her hair in a bun with a gold barrette which looked like a Phoenix. The woman was just so beautiful, that I think any man would literally DIE for her hand in marriage. The man, was also very handsome.

The men following the couple, and Willow bowed, saying, "Your majesties." The man said, "Arise." and they did, as if they were under a spell he casted on them. A little girl who looked like me pushed through all of them and rushed to me jumping right at me, saying, "Glori!". I smiled and talked with them all. Little did I know how good, and bad the road ahead of me will be. God truly hasn't left my side yet..

She called me Glori, and to my surprise I immediately responded to her words and said "Harly!" I hugged her tight and shaked her hair to make it look a little messy. Harly giggled. The man and woman who I assumed were my parents, held each other and smiled softly. Harlyn was wearing a dress that wasn't as big or grand as our mother's, but a sky blue gown which had lace details, and some silk bows, she had a bow in her hair made of lace, and her hair down, like mine.

My mother said, "I'm glad to see your fine, and it seems your sister is just as happy as we are!" my father nodded, and him and my mother walked over. He stood in behind my mother as she hugged me, and I was so happy in that moment. I started to cry. " Let it out my darling. It's all right.." she hugged me and rubbed my back as I cried. Before somehow dying in my world and coming here, my mother had died from a disease. And my new mother was just like her. Beautiful, graceful, and kind. After a few minutes I sniffed a bit, and smiled. My mother stroked. my hair and smiled. Harlyn hugged me from behind and said, "Don't cry sis! I'm not dead yet!" we both laughed.

Later on me and Harlyn spent the night together in my room with Willow, and Harlyn, and her personal maid, Aubrey in my room, and had a sleepover. Aubrey had her hair tied into two buns, and instead of having dark pink hair like Willow, had dark brown hair and was wearing a simple pastel dress. We told stories, and I told a story of what happened in my world I'd define it, but said it as if it was a made up story, and changed the character from me to someone else obviously. Father had obviously had not really approved of this sleepover, but with a few words out of mother, and he gave in. He must love her a lot to be that way towards her.

We all looked out my window and watched the stars together as we all drifted asleep. I smiled, and drifted off to sleep. That night, I slept better than I've probably ever slept before. I didn't have to worry about the debt my alcoholic father owed, and I could start over again. I dreamed of a collage of memories do describe it. Of Gloriana's or my I should say, memories. I went through them all, until the last one which was a memory of falling into the ocean. That must have been what Willow and Dr. Polon were talking about.

The next morning Willow helped me change, and I wore a light purple gown, with a white ribbon across my waist tied into a bow in the back, along with a braid crown hairstyle and the rest of my hair down with a silk white bow in the back. I then went to the dining hall for breakfast with Harly and Aubrey, me and Harlyn had matching hair styles, but she wore a blue dress instead. Same style, but different colors obviously. Apparently we had a thing for dressing in the samestyle, but different colors. Which I didn't mind.

We greeted mother and father and had a lively talk. "My daughter, you'll be 18 soon you know, your 17th birthday will be later this month of January, and you'll be eligible for marriage when your 18." my father said. I guess that was how it rolled here, getting married young, which seemed weird to me, but normal here I guess. I nodded, as he continued. "There are many eligible Princes in North, South, East, and West Orlon." he said. I was confused. I thought there was only one royal family? I thought for a while and digged through my brain till I was flashed with information, that apparently there are 4 royal family's ruling North, South, East and West orlon.

But instead of these 4 royal family's being Emporers and Empress, they are just Kings and Queens who just rule over these lands, which are ultimately ruled by my parents. I took a moment to thank whoever's sent me here for not letting me get into big family drama and all that. As I read a lot of web comics and novels in the 21st century about this type of stuff, and how vicious nobles can actually be. I nodded and said, "I understand dad. But with my amnesia and everything, I dont necessarily remember a lot.." my parents looked at each other and nodded. "Darling, you will be having a ball for your birthday, and all the nobles and royal family's will be there, along with some high officials, and military seniors, like General Luke, your uncle. He will be coming with his son, Lincoln. Your cousin." she said.

I processed what she said a bit confused by all of it and nodded. This was a whole ton of information to process. I stared at her blankly for a minute, and then ate my food. The breakfast overall went okay, and apart from that marriage conversation, there was only a bit of chitchat.

After breakfast me and Harlyn went to the garden with Willow and Aubrey. And let me tell you. This is no ordinary garden. It was magical to say the least, there were acres of land covered with fruit trees, flowers, fountains, some gazebos, hedges, and more. The garden was so enchanting. I stood there astonished then followed Harlyn. I got a memory or a flashback to say the least, and some information popped up in my head, and apparently there was a hidden place here only me and Harlyn went to. Willow and Aubrey seemed to understand since they stood about maybe 20 feet from the secret place.

We went into this mystic area, and ventured deeper, and deeper into the land, where I think no one has gone or dared to go before..

As we ventured deeper, and deeper into the thick abundance of trees, I noticed the amount of the trees started to lessen, and flower fields filled the area, with a laved dirt path in the middle of it all. The oath led to something so amazing, so enchanting, it was a gigantic oak tree, that looked to be centuries old. The closer I looked at it, I saw some carvings on the wood, and for some reason recognized 3 out of the many.

The carving I recognized the most, had 'G&H' in a star shape, which I immediately recognized to be something me and Harlyn carved, about 2 years ago. The other carving, said 'GxJ' surrounded by a typical heart. I recognized it, but didn't know 10p percent if it was my parents ithe carving was referring to. The carving looked older, and not as "fresh" of a carving as mine and Harly's. The final carving though, had 'Gx . ' I was confused. It was a 'G', as in my name Gloriana, and just a dot? Had this person controlling this body before me fallen in love? I was so puzzled and interested in it all.

After looking at the carvings, I shaked the mysterious thought out of my head, and looked up at the big oak tree and was astonished, there was a tree house up on top. Me and Harlyn went behind the tree to find a ladder, and climbed up. The door was obviously old, and was a faint red color, that was slowly chipping away. The doorknob however, had our family emblem on it. I opened the door and went inside. The inside had planks of wood lining the floor, and a small fireplace I guess you could call it, and shelves lining the walls of photo albums and books. There was even a place you could sit tucked in the corner.

Pictures of my family members of the last generations, and present who had been in the treehouse lined the walls. I felt like I was discovering ancient historic artifacts with everything I saw. Harlyn put her hands on her hips and smiled, then took a book from the shelf and started reading. I noticed the shelves were filled with all kinds of books. Astronomy books, History, Art, Etiquette, and more. I never read much in my world, but this all fascinated me. It felt like I was discovering a new part of myself that was hidden in all my stress from before. I felt, relieved for once. Like everything I did had to go towards someone else's problem. I was happy.

And just like how the happiness I found started, it was extinguished quick. Harlyn suddenly dropped the book she was reading, and was crying? "H-Harlyn?! What's wrong?" I said, she cried and showed no sign of stopping. Suddenly it felt like my body was taking over and I lost control of myself, my arms opened up, and I looked at her and smiled softly. It took me a second to realize. My action, she stopped crying for a second, looked at my arms, than me, and ran to hug me. We ended up crying there together for an hour, without knowing why.

As me and Harlyn cried together in the treehouse, nothing in the world seemed to exist but me, and my little sister. After cryin1g, we looked at each other and things.. Got a tad bit1 awkward. "So.. What did you see that made you cry Harly..?" I asked. She stayed silent for a moment, than said, "I saw some pictures.." she put her head down and I looked at her, confused. "Pictures as in?" I said, curious yet a bit scared at the same time. "Yes. Pictures of you and a man.."
