DO I REALLY WANT REVENGE?

Disclaimer: The Cullens, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.

All of the chapters of this story has been beta'd by the lovely dowlingnana and the chapters with mistakes are being replaced.

CHAPTER 1: THE CAUSE OF HATRED

When will this nightmare end? I have tried everything conceivable to escape, but, foiled each time. It's hard to think that something like this could be happening in this day and age of planes, trains, cars, phones and subways. How is it that I have been kidnapped and forced to marry against my will? And I don't give a damn about the fact that he is a Prince! This is beyond reality; I must have taken a wrong turn to end up in the Twilight Zone.

"Princess, all of the arrangements have been made for your nuptials tomorrow. We are not happy that things have to be done this way, but, we were left with no other choice."

"Like hell! You bastards kidnapped me, threw me in this room with the door locked and tell me what will and will not take place. Well, I will tell you this and you can pass the message along. Your actions have created more mayhem than what you know and due to this and any unchangeable consequences arising from you actions; I will make all of you suffer. MARK MY WORDS ABOUT THAT FACT IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE IN THIS LIFETIME!"

"Highness, let me warn you now that until you take the vows on the morrow, we have and will continue to have a person in place to deal with any and all members of your family if need be. Please, don't force us to use such crude methods. We are only seeking advantage and peace for our people."

"Go tell your royal masters, that it will make no difference in my signing these papers agreeing to the marriage and the permanent continuation of same and going through with the marriage. For after all is said and done, I will eventually be in the position to have my revenge. And when that moment arrives, I will seize it with great delight making everyone involved live a life of pure hell. Now, get out, for none of you know what you have done and from what I can see you don't give a good damn."

The group of men leave without another word taking the signed nuptial agreements with them. It troubles all, the royal family and their council that these steps had to be taken. Unfortunately, they could see no other way. The princess and her father refused to acknowledge the situation and refused all overtures to resolve this through a different avenue of events.

At this moment all of her threats were taken as that of a young woman not allowed her own choices. They were fully confident that once the prince and she were wed, he would be able to control her desires and emotions in a more productive manner, that after she had time to adjust to the situation, even if she didn't stay, she would be more amendable to accepting that what was done was preferable with a great many benefits, because from all accounts of the young princes' adventures with the young ladies of the court and beyond, he seemed to have a way to calm even the most intolerable.

Time passed heavily and at times slowly, but, other times with more speed than was desired. The young woman didn't sleep that night with concern about what was being forced on her in the morning and the impact that it was about to have upon her family personally. She wept because of those thoughts and the heartbreak these actions were setting in motion. Actions that she seemed powerless to stop. And due to this her hatred grew by leaps and bounds. It was at that moment she vowed that never would a man control her or over say her again. EVER!

As the hour approached a team of women arrived to prepare her for the ceremony. No one spoke, neither she to them or them to her. Everyone went about their task quietly until there was a knock on the door. One woman answered it, seeing the Queen standing there, she moved to one side. The queen walked into the room looking at the princess and nodded her head. She motioned that they should proceed out of the room to the throne chambers where the wedding was taking place.

Once all entered, the princess looked around to see the splendor of the room. Shades of reds, burnt orange and greens of many hues decorated the entire chamber with an overlay of gold etching the figures, lettering and outlines of the patterns displayed.

The entire entourage continued down the aisle towards the throne upon which the king stood in front and the young prince was standing down from the dais waiting to receive her for the exchanging of their vows. The prince, just like the king, wore a dress uniform with sash crossing from shoulder to hip showing his ranking with ribbons marking his different achievements. His back was turned away from her, but, she did see the hair coloring that appeared to be more bronze than any other description could be used.

The princess appeared to have accepted her fate, but, little did anyone know that events were starting to whirl out of control to make a mockery out of all of this. Her chance for revenge was fast approaching and no one would be able to stop it once it arrived.

The wedding proceeded with the vows being exchanged. They turned to be presented to the court as Prince Edward and Princess Isabella when the back chamber doors were thrown open and in walked a gentleman in the royal colors of the Swan kingdom. He came straight to Princess Isabella and bowed at the waist saying, "My Queen."

A/N: The game has now begun. What will Isabella be told by the messenger? What has transpired for her to be addressed as Queen? And, how will this play out towards getting her own back for the kidnapping and being forced to marry Prince Edward?
