"Lily Anna Elizabeth Flannery Evans, Princess of the Netherlands."

A seventeen year old women had a double door entrance in to the Throne Room of the Volleta Castle which was built on the western shore of the Netherlands. The women had her wavy auburn hair up in an elegant bun. A few pieces of hair fell in her face and some fell on her back. Her captivating almond shaped, emerald green eyes were one of a kind. The silky smooth, creamy skin she possessed wore a forest green dress. The dress had a hoop and a tightly fitted bodice. She was average height about five nine with out any shoes on.

"Mother, Father, you wanted to see me." Lily curtsied.

"Yes, yes," her mother, Queen Elizabetha Lannia, began sitting on her throne, "we will be stepping down from being King and Queen…"

"And you will take over," King Edward III finished.

"No. No. No. No. No," Lily muttered under her breath while pacing the length of the room.

"With all do respect my dear parents; I do not want to be queen, I never had a wish to be head of our fine government."

"I beg your pardon," spoke Queen Elizabetha Lannia astonished. She inspected her daughter, wide eyed.

"I decline, I refuse to be queen," said Princess Lily aggressively.

The king stood up with an angry expression on his face. He hit Lily so hard she was knocked off her feet. She whimpered. Princess stood up and ran to her sleeping chambers as fast as she could in heals and a large dress.

4 Months Later on the Pirate Ship, The Entrepreneur

"James?"

"Yes Sirius," said the Captain of the pirate ship, The Entrepreneur.

"I gots the news ya wanted," Sirius Black, the first mate, informed the captain, James Potter.

Captain Potter looked straight up from the map he was studying. He had been waiting for this information for months.

"Are you goin to tell me it or just stare at me?" he asked in a rough voice.

"Remus Lupin has to tell you. He knows it."

The captain stood up. "Get him then."

Sirius exited the cabin. James Potter sat there anticipating to see if he could go through with his plan. No one really knew why he wanted to do this. The second mate, Remus Lupin, stepped in the captain's headquarters.

"What is the news you got me?"

"Princess Lily Anna Elizabeth Flannery Evans is having an arranged marriage to Lord Peter Pettigrew in thirty days. She will become Queen of Port Royal in forty days when dawn breaks. She does not want to become the queen. She has declined to be the ruler of the country but she is being forced. Her declining has gotten so out of control that she is beat and locked in her room. Food is brought up to her twice a day. She also has a fever, a high fever. The healer of the castle thinks lack of eating, crying, and to much physical movement caused the fever."

"Could she die?" James asked immediately.

"No, but why do you care? You are a pirate, a damn good one I might add. You kill people for fun."

"She is just…. She is just a different case than all the others."

A small nine year old girl sat with her best friend along a grass covered field. She had long dark red hair and beautiful almond shaped emerald green eyes. Her twelve year old friend had messy jet Black hair and warm hazel eyes that anyone could fall in love with, well that women could fall in love with.

"Do you have to go?" the young girl asked with tears being held in her eyes. She did not want her best friend she ever had to leave her alone in this dark world that they live in.

"Yes, I have to Miss," replied the boy. He was holding something in his hand.

"James, how many times must I ask you to call me Lily?"

"At least once more, Princess, as always."

"Very well, good day Mr. Potter." Princess Lily got up, her long dress falling behind her.

"Lily, wait!" She smiled as if she knew it would make him call her by her first name.

"Yes?" she asked, turning around. James opened his hand slowly, trying not to break what ever was in there and pulled out a gold chain. It looked expensive because it looked like pure gold. He handed it to Princess Lily. She looked at him confused.

"It's for you. Go ahead, put it on. I have the same one. I want you to remember me when I leave," James said rather softly. Lily thought over what he said as she clasped the necklace around her neck.

"What do you mean leave? You are not leaving forever are you?" she asked, sitting back down on the cold morning dew.

James shifted uncomfortably. "My father is alive. He wants me to go live with him. I got a letter a couple months ago. I have to leave forever."

"You are just going to leave? Are not you own by my family? I hope you accept my apologies for saying it. I know how much you dislike it when someone says that, but aren't you. I mean, you can't just run away like that can you?"

"I can do what ever I wish. Anyways, when you become Queen it is not like we will be able to see each other anymore. You will be too busy ruling this place to have any time for me. It is the best thing."

Lily nodded her head slowly as if she was agreeing. "I understand, but I do not want to be Queen at all. I do not even want to be Royal. Kids, poor kids, get to have so much more fun. It is the ideal life for me. Can you promise me something?" Silent tears started to roll down her small cheek.

"Yeah."

"Promise me that when I am about to become Queen you will come and take me away from here."

"That is a lot for me to do."

"I am not becoming Queen, now. When I have been alive for seventeen years my mother and father say. My sister is only seven. She has to have at least fifteen years on her," Lily silently chuckled.

"I promise," James said sincerely. A canon was shot in the back round. They both looked over at the harbor. "I have to go now." He started to stand.

"Wait," Lily said, "are you going with pirates?" She had an expression on that showed she was slightly shocked and some what terrified. He did not reply because he was gone. He never turned back. She sat there all alone. The wind blowing in her hair. She watched as the ship she thought was a pirate ship sale away into the blue horizon.

Seventeen year old Princess Lily opened her eyes instantly finding her self lying down on the floor of her bedchamber. The dream was like a nightmare every time she saw it. Lately, she could not get it out of her mind. She kept feeling like something was gong to happen, something big. When she woke up she would always forget most of its content but this time she did not. She remembered the necklace, James, the canon, and most of all, the pirate ship. It had dark gray sails, torn at every corner.

Lily stood up and walked over to her wardrobe. She opened a small drawer. It was empty. Then she lifted up a thin place of wood. Underneath the wood sat the same gold necklace that she got so many years ago. The King and Queen knew nothing about it. They never really knew that Lily had a friendship with James. If they did have knowledge of it then they would forbid Lily to ever see James again. Lily placed the dusty necklace around her neck, but not before cleaning it off. A soft knock was pounded on the door. Lily quickly gathered her robe.

"Lily Anna, are you decent?"
