i stared to wake and as i became more cohearent i felt two sets of hands on me on set i would know anywhere they were my edwards the love of my life but the other set that was pressed in to my wrists i knew nothing of, i soon reconised the voice it was carlilse and i knew i was safe i could here others in the background i reconised alice and jaspers and the queens i soon realised that i was in the queens sitting room. as soon as my eyelids fluttered open the queen walked over and asked carlisle something i couldn't here Edward was murrmering sweet nothings in my ear and Alice and Jasper were watching with curiosity as i started to sit up. Edward realised what i was doing and helped me. Just as i had sat up Carlilse and Tatiana looked at me and at the same time asked if i would be ok to go back out to the party i reply and said yes so we walked out with edward, Jasper and Alice closely behind me and Tatiana then finished the annoncements apoligizing all the while i kept looking around at the puzzled faces and realised that they were curious about why i suddenly fainted and so i wispered to tatiana that i was not feelin well before and that was my cover story.

TPOV the princess fainted just before i was about to anonnce that she was to become my succersor of the crown and so we quickly took her out of the crowded room and took her into my sitting room where she woke after a few minuites and explained what happened and we decided together that we would go back to the party and that is exactly what we did when we where back in the room i apolgized for what happened and then went and continued the anonncements and then Bella wispered in my ear what to tell everyone about her fainting and then we anonnced the big one. everyone was silent as i began and here is what i said." young Bella here is the most powerful Moroi in the world this young girl has specilized in all 4 elements and a 5th one people forgot making her our top priority to protect, along with this i have decide she will become my succesor and take my place as queen on her 21st birthday. the reason for the wait is so that she can learn along side me and learn how to goven our people and in time she will be a great queen, so after she has finished her schooling she will come to live with me here and address the people she will have 8 guardians here with her and a further 3 when she leaves the castle she is our only hope as to distroying the strigoi and i will make her a priority for protection." after i had finished my speech everybody started to clap and congradulate young bella this was just the start of her life and i would give her the best possible chance of a long and healthy one. We retired to our suites and it all started to sink in in just a few short years i would be succeded by the most powerful moroi who was still just a child in my books but i was happy i would be able to stay here and live my life out with my neice little did bella know and watch her make a fine queen and as i fell asleep i dreamed about everthing that had happened and i was a peace with myself.

Has this really happened or am i dreaming i thought as i lied down next to the love of my life. Would i really become queen or was it a dream? was i truly the most powerful moroi in the world or was it just a mistake? how would i rule the people? all of these questions ran through my head and i then i fell asleep. i was dreeming about becoming the queen and everything tatiana had said and as i dremt i was happy. i was truly happy and i hadn't been like that for 7 years.

i woke in the morning and went to see Esme she was so happy and joyful i could feel it radianting from every corner of the room and then she truly understood why i had fainted the night before and she chuckled. at this point there was a knock at the door it was Tatiana she entered the room and we sat and talked for hours on end getting to know each other i found out that like me she had lost her parents when she was 10 and it was reasuring that i didn't have to go through this alone not one other person i knew before could relate to me it was just nice knowing that i wouldn't have to go thought this alone anymore and i knew that we would get along together really well.

Two days after the ball it was time for us to leave i said goodbye and slept most of the trip home when i got there i fed and the went to bed for school started in two days and i would be traveling all day tommorow.

that night was the first night since the accident i had a nightmare, i was in the car and the metal was wrapped aroun the tree i wanted so much to wake my parents up i couldn't and then all i remeber was when the guardians pulled me out and then i woke up i was crying and shaking and edward came and sat with me and hugged me till i fell asleep in his arms i was so scared of that nightmare it took 2 hours to get back to sleep, and even then it wasn't peaceful i woke in the morning more tiered then before i went to sleep and i knew what a big day i had ahead of me and what woul happen when i got back to st vladimir's.
