URL Rewrite and get the query string of two different vars with htaccess

What I'm trying to do is use the same URL with different query strings to go to two different pages.

What I have right now is a URL's that looks like this

http://mysite.com/embed?a=somestring and http://mysite.com/embed?b=somestring

I need to get a rewrite rule that will redirect both to two different URL's depending on if the query var is a or b

This below works but it matches both URL's and sends it to the one link

RewriteRule ^embed$ index.php?page=embeda [QSA]

If I do these two it doesn't work and will always match the first one. 

RewriteRule ^embed$ index.php?page=embeda [QSA]
RewriteRule ^embed$ index.php?page=embedb [QSA]

Not sure how to do two different rewriterules for this.

Use a RewriteCond directive and examine the %{QUERY_STRING}.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \ba=
RewriteRule ^embed$ index.php?page=embeda [QSA]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \bb=
RewriteRule ^embed$ index.php?page=embedb [QSA]

RewriteCond is really just a conditional, an if statement. Note the \b bit in the pattern, it's a word boundary. I put it there to make sure it works even if there are other query string parameters before 'b'.
