Hey Guys! I decided to start another story a planned ahead. Enjoy this new story! Thanks to everyone who voted on my poll about which story I should do next. Although I am still working on Plot Twist, I thought that it might be fun writing another story. Enjoy!

If you like it so far, review for more!

Oh, and Alice, my twin, wrote the very last part of this chapter. She let me add it. And might I say, it was brilliantly written. She is one amazing author. :)

Disclaimer- I own nothing.

Prologue
MIKAYLA stood in front of the mirror, staring into her reflection. She wondered how boys-including King Brady-would find her attractive. She was nothing but a guard who had worked for the Kings. And every boy would plan on calling her their Princess.

But, she didn't want to be called a Princess.

It's a nickname that Mikayla hated. She felt like it was such a girly nickname. Why would they want to call her that? She didn't know. All the boys were drooling all over her. Everyone can clearly see that. She was a beauty, but she didn't see that. She didn't care about her looks. That was until the boys kept trying to convince her that she was beautiful.

Boys didn't call her beautiful. They called her hot. Brady decided to stop calling her that since he started to realize it didn't make her feel great. Instead, he called her something else. The other boys wouldn't call her this. Only Brady did. He called her beautiful. When he had said the word to her, she still didn't believe him. It wasn't because of how she looked, but of he said it. He wasn't flirting with her when he brought the word up, which was surprising considering this is Brady we are talking about.

Mikayla didn't believe that he would say the word. And right in front of her. No flirty tone. He just said it. She was shocked. He actually meant it. Unlike all the other boys, he actually meant it. But no matter how many times he reminded her, she doubts that he means it. He once looked straight into her eyes and told her that it wasn't joke and he meant it. She then looked at him and laughed right in his face, which wasn't really nice. Mikayla regrets doing that since all he was trying to do was be nice. Besides, she has to give him some credit for saying it without flirting.

Now, there comes another problem.

Candace, the gossip girl, put Mikayla's reactions to Brady's compliment on her magazine, Gossip Weekly. Everyone saw it and many people reacted to it. Well, girls mainly. Everytime Mikayla would walk around the village for a guard shift, girls would throw rocks at her and yell words Mikayla thought Kinkoweans never used. Mikayla then thought of how she deserved it since Brady was only trying to be nice. She made him heartbroken although all the rejections already did that.

Brady had stopped flirting with Mikayla because he wanted to approach her in a friendly way, not to give her the wrong message. Although, he has done that before. some people think that he moved on from Mikayla, which isn't true. He still has feelings for her. He just won't be so open about it.

When Candace's latest gossip magazine came out and he saw the page about him and Mikayla, he could only be hurt even more. He ripped the page out, crumpled it, and throw it in the trash can. Brady then tossed the magazine on his bed and left, not wanting to see the thing again. Mikayla later found the magazine on his bed and discovered the missing page. She found it in the trash can and felt horrible for doing that.

All Brady did was call her beautiful and she took it as a joke. What an idiot I am!, Mikayla had thought. She threw the paper back into the trash can and went to find Brady. But he just gave her the cold shoulder.

It really didn't help that Candace kept talking about it whenever she was around Mikayla.

Mikayla just felt even worse about doing that. Candace realized that if she kept talking, she would make Mikayla uncomfortable. It took her a while-more like a week-for her to realize that. But, when she asked Mikayla if she knew who the Princess were, that started a completely different topic. She would go on about how Brady and Mikayla could be like Beauty and a Beast, or even Cinderella.

Mikayla would reply by saying "Who's this?" or "Who's that?". Candace gave up on trying to tell her who they were, since she wouldn't understand what was going on. She questioned everything which easily annoyed her.

And now, Mikayla was going to find out who they were.

She walked away from the mirror and searched through the Great Book that sat on her desk. The Kings were supposed to be using it to help them learn more about Kinkow, but like they can even carry the thing! It weighs almost one-hundred pounds. The stories of these "Princess" were located at the very end of the book, which was odd.

Mikayla found the first story titled "CINDERELLA" in big bold letters in blue. She curiously continued reading. "Once upon a time..." A blue light shot out of the book and enveloped Mikayla. All she could do was scream as the book pulled her in. She had no idea as to what was going on.

Once the blue light died down, Mikayla can finally take in her surroundings: She was at the end of a narrow hallway, in front of an old rust door knob.

(Written by Alice)

Mikayla hesitantly reached out and placed a hand on the rusty door knob. Time seemed to slow down as she made a life-changing decision and twisted the door knob. Mikayla stepped over the threshold into the dark, dust cluttered room.

It was multiple times colder in the gloomy room than it was in the equally gloomy hallway. She shivered at the sudden change in temperature. Her teeth chattered. Wrapping her arms around herself, she made a fruitless attempt to stop making noise. The distinctive sound of floor boards creaking directly behind her was heard. Mikayla spun around quickly. At that moment, she came to a crucial realization.

She was not alone.
