I woke up with the bright twilight that shot through my window in my face.

I get up to see a maid waiting patiently at the end of my bed, she then said "good morning my lady your mother and father requested you in the dining hall" she finished and smiled and i just plopped back down on the bed closing my eyes then said "I don't feel like it".

"But my lady they said it is really important that you come down.

"Ugh" I groaned getting up again and now my hair fell in my face and then I blew it up but it just fell back down in my face. I get up and walk over to the bathroom and closing the door behind. Staring at my reflection I run my fingers through my hair and out of my face.

Sighing I begin to take off my clothes, and they fell to the floor and I just kicked them to the side and hoped in the shower.

The steamy hot water ran over my body, and my hair dripping wet. What could they be planning that is so important. I now stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself now walking out the bathroom.

Just as I walked out of the bathroom I heard a knock at the door, I eyed my door weirdly listening to see if the person who knocked would just go away since I didn't hear anything else.

So I then walk into my walk in closet and looked for something to wear, now finding a dress I turn around and there stood at the entrance of my closet was Elite. "Hugh" I gasped now becoming really angry. "Good morning princess nice to see you" "what are you doing in my room" "well I was in the dining room with your wonderful parents but you were taking too long so I decided to come check on you" "well you could of knocked" "I did but you didn't answer".

I stared at him in disbelief then said "well you can go I'll be down in a minute". He smirked then came closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist "well what if I don't want to" "you should go and you should let go of me" I said now pushing him away from me then said "were not together and I don't like you" I said still trying to push him off of me.

Elite's evil smirk became wider and then he said "well not to burst your little bubble but as of now we are together" "what are you talking about" "I'm saying your father and mother loved me so much that they chose me to be your husband because they knew you would never pick one and as I may recall you do need a husband to rule the kingdom, and now that husband is me" "no this can't be" I said shaking my head "my parents could not have chosen you" "well they did darling and so basically your my fiancé".

"No" I finally say pushing Elite with all my mite off of me then making a dash for the door, now running down the halls bursting open the dining room doors yelling "what's going on" . Both my parents looked up at me and then I said repeating myself "what is going on". My mother then said "what is wrong" I then says "I mean with Elite and you picking him to be my husband".

I watched my mother walk up to me then said "honey me and your father chose Elite because he is perfect for you and I heard that you were spending some time with him last night" "mom I don't like him and what happened last night was Elite's fault not mine I was just wondering why he was still in our castle.

"Well honey we chose Elite because I feel that maybe you'll like him and besides your birthday is less than one month away and time is running out and you do need a husband before you take the throne."

"But mom why did you have to choose him I mean come on" "because all the other princes are taken and he is the only one left".

I stared angrily at my mother now pouting and crossing my arms over my chest. I couldn't believe that my mother and father picked Elite of all people. Then I felt someone's arm wrap them around my waist. Looking to see that it was Elite he was smiling at my mother who smiled back. My mother then said "hi Elite I was just explaining the new news to Ailsa" "I see and I was also doing that as well".

I watched as my mother turned and went back to sit at the table. I then tried to wiggle out of Elite's hold and then I heard him say closer to my ear "do you know you're still in a towel". I growled pushing away from him and going back up to my room this time locking it.

I couldn't help but feel tears well up in my eyes, and I now ran over to my bed crying loudly in it.

I hate my life I kept saying to my pillow I want to die, I hate Elite, I hate my parents, I hate the world. I say finally. This can't be happening I can't get married to jerk face like him he sucks. He probably tricked my stupid parents in letting him marry me. I think why it had to be him I hate him he just makes me sick.

I lay there and think when I hear my mother at the door "Ailsa open up you need to be downstairs the announcement is about to begin". I don't care I say quietly to myself I'll just never come out my room. I now rolled onto my back staring up at the celling. I hate being a princess I mumbled to myself. Now watching the patterns the color of gold swirl around my celling in graving my name in it .

I then hear my mother again at the door "open this door Ailsa the announcement is about to begin" she was now banging on my door probably with her fists.

I sighed and get up and then put on my under garments and finally the dress I picked out earlier.
I now combed my hair straight down, then putting on my flats. I open my door with my mother still standing there mad she then said "what took you so long". I rolled my eyes looking down saying "nothing mother". I then felt her grab my hand and led me down the hall approaching a wide open balcony. I could hear screaming and shouting of the people of the shadow realm. I'm finally pulled out onto the balcony looking over the millions of people who gathered to hear some announcement.

It was twilight now and the shadow realm was in its comfortable state and allowing the pale moon to shine down. I stood there looking over the people my people that I'll soon one day have to rule. I then look to my side to see that my father stood next me and behind him was my mother who was giving me the eye saying silently you better behave. I rolled my eyes turning back to the people now noticing someone standing on the other side of me.

I look to see and it was Elite wearing a very rich suit, with his silver hair brushed to the back and he was smiling and waving to the shadow people. I turned my attention from him mad, it's not fair that he was making everyone else think he's perfect but I knew in my mind that he wasn't he was far from perfect and of course no one else noticed. I turn my attention to my father seeing that he was begging to speak.

"People of the shadow realm thank you all for coming tonight and I would like to say we are honored and so your reward is the new news that we are about to share" "Ailsa" he said looking at me and I smiled waving to the people. Who were always loudly screaming.

My father continued "Our beloved Daughter who we raised to be at her best is now seventeen and ready to take the throne, and now shadow realm the time has come and we have found the rightful husband who will guide her along the way and I give you Prince Elite". Elite stepped up waving to the people and the crowd went nuts, people screaming, hollering, yelling, it was going to give me a headache.

My father continued "shadow realm our daughter is engaged to Prince Elite." I then felt somebody take my hand and squeezed it ,I look to see that it was Elite still smiling flashing his shiny sharp teeth and the crowd continued to scream in joy.

I couldn't believe it I thought this isn't fair everyone happy and joyful and the one that should be happy is me and I'm not.

"My kingdom we have all just witnessed this wonderful engagement and we hope that you will join us at the wedding that is next month and new king and queen will be named for all of shadow realm . . . thank you all". My dad finished and I felt Elite walk me back into the castle with my parents flowing behind.
