Chapter 2: Camilla

Present Day

'Three months ago, my sister left. Not just my sister but my twin, my best friend. Sure we've been in touch ever since without our parents' knowledge but it still feels weird.

I'm standing outside the balcony and just taking the view in. The sound of lawn mower roaring while the gardeners mow the excess grass, the smell of the morning dew. Its 7 in the morning here in england so that's 1 am in Iowa right now.' She wrote down at her journal.

She clutch her phone and the letter she recieved from her sister. She decided to go inside he bedroom and lie down.

She opened the letter Jo gave.

'Camilla,

I'm so sorry that I have to leave. I feel suffocated here and I just want to leave for a while, even just for a few months.

I'm heading to Iowa for a fresh start and I will be going as Jo Wilson. Charlie helped me set everything up and I hope he won't get fired because of me and my stupidity.

I love you Cam, and I'll miss you. You can visit me anytime but be discreet please. I don't want mom dragging my sorry royal ass back to England.

Love, "Princess-my-ass Josephine" '

She always laughs when her sister curses. Her attitude is not so royal sometimes. Sometimes she's not so ladylike but its fine. They had fun doing not so ladylike things.

Like that one time when they were 8, they egged the limo of their dad because Jo saw it on TV and encouraged Camilla to try it with her.

'Oh boy, we got into such huge trouble!' She laughed at the memory.

There was a knock on the door. She hid the envelope under the sheets for a while.

"Come in!"

"Hey darling!" Her mom kissed her head.

"Any news?" She sat down next to Camilla's lying form.

"No, she's still not contacting me, I've sent her a thousand texts already and her phone's off when I tried calling." Camilla lied.

"Same. She emailed me just now. They tried to trace the IP address but its blocked. They're still working on it." The queen sighed.

Camilla instantly got nervous wishing they'd never found her. She love her sister to death and Jo was always the lonely one. She knew that. Camilla knew that Jo was jealous of her because their parents' attention are always on Camilla and they barely acknowledge Jo so Camilla tried to be on her sister's side all the time so that she won't feel alone anymore.

"What about dad?" Camilla asked nervously. "Did she emailed him too?"

"No just me..." Then the queen stopped whatever she would say. "Did she ever contacted you?"

"No. Never." Camilla said, hoping that she's convincing.

"Okay." She kissed the princess' head again as she stood up. "You should check your email once in a while.

She got out of Camilla's room and the princess sighed in relief.

Camilla went to the castle's dining room where the food was waiting for the royal family.

"Hey sweet heart." The king greeted her.

"Hi Dad." She managed a smile.

"So, Josephine never talked to you either huh?" The king asked. "That's weird."

"Cameron!" The queen scolded her husband.

"I'm not saying anything." The king shrugged.

Her dad always do this. He scrutinizes people and blames them for any mistake they made. Even if it was yesterday or last week or last year.

"Mom. It's okay." Camilla stated coolly. "Dad has a point. I'm her twin. I should know everything she does but I'm sorry dad," she faces her father. "Not on this one."

The king only nods as they ate their breakfast in awkward silence.

A week later, they were waiting for the king inside the main hall. The media's already asking where Jo was.

The king entered the hall and they started discussing.

"I think you knew why I called this meeting." The king stood up. "I already have people looking for Princess Josephine around the world and speaking of this matter, I suggest that you don't give any comments at all to the media. They will be here monday morning for a press conference reguarding this matter. That is all, thank you." The royal family got out of the main hall.
