**Anna's P.O.V.**

Anna woke up the next morning at 11. She was slightly confused, the last thing she remembered was being lost in the forest. She looked down at herself to see that she was still in the clothes she had been wearing yesterday.

She shrugged and went to the washroom to take a shower. 20 minutes later she got out and got dressed in jeans and a green low-cut v-neck t-shirt when suddenly she heard a blood curdling scream and glass smashing coming from downstairs. Anna ran as fast as she could downstairs.

Anna ran into the living room and froze at the sight before her. Both of her parents were laying on the floor dead with a pool of blood surrounding them.

Anna let out a high pitch scream as her hand flew to her mouth, "MOM! DAD!... NOO!" she screamed.

Anna looked up and she saw two men standing in the middle of her living room. Anna's whole body started to shake and when the guys looked up at her it felt as if her blood froze in her veins. They both had jet-black hair, they were both dressed completely in black and they were deathly pale. But the thing that scared Anna most was the fact that both of their eyes were red!

"Who are you?" Anna managed to ask in a whisper as she slowly took a few steps backwards away from them.

They both ignored her question but they stared at her and one smiled at her, "She will do just fine. Get her." he commanded.

Only one word was in her head right now, run, but the look on her face probably gave her thought away because both of the guys lunged at her. She tried to run but as soon as she turned around she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. She let out a loud scream and then everything went black.

I don't know how long I was unconscious for but when I did finally wake up it was pretty dark outside and Anna noticed that she was in a car, which was just stopping. She heard the engine turn off and two doors open. Her door was opened and someone pulled her out rather roughly.

He held onto her arm tightly as he pulled her towards the building. But let me rephrase that, this was not just any building, it looked more like a castle. Anna stood before the Victorian-styled house, all she could do was stare. It was magnificent and it was probably the oldest looking building she had ever seen in her life. One of the two men got her bags while the other one spoke to Anna.

"Follow me," he said, then he started to walk towards the house with Anna following close behind.

As they reached the two huge wooden double doors they both opened automatically. All three of them stepped in.

Inside was just as beautiful as the outside, the carpets were red, and the drapes were red and the walls black. Everything was cleaned and polished, and they seemed to be very dark people, from what Anna could tell. For lack of a better word, it was 'perfect'.

"This way," the pale guy said as he went up the spiral stairs.

Anna followed him until he stopped in front of two doors, he turned to face her.

"You will now be meeting the King and Queen as well as the Prince that you are to marry. So I suggest you make a good first impression," he looked her up and down, "I guess you attire will have to do."

He sighed as he knocked on the doors, pushed them open and stood off to the side so Anna could enter. When she did he closed the doors behind her, leaving her all alone in what she thought was an empty study. But then she heard talking ahead of her. The room was huge and filled with dust-covered books. Anna timidly walked forward and then froze.

She saw a man, who she presumed was the King. He looked to be about 35 years old with black hair and a small beard. She also saw a beautiful woman, the Queen, who had curly brown hair and creamy brown eyes.

Then Anna saw the Prince, and her breath caught in her throat. He was gorgeous, and as you can tell, breath taking. His hair was raven-black and spiky, it came down to just in front of his eyes, which were an icy light blue color. He was very pale, as were the Kind and Queen, and he was very toned.

Anna realized that she was holding her breath, so she slowly let it out and took a deep lung-full of air.

"Hello," the King said.

"H-hello," Anna stuttered.

"Welcome to my humble abode," the King said.

"T-thank y-you," Anna stuttered once again.

Anna looked at the Prince but he seemed to be very uninterested in her at all and for some reason that made her feel sad and unwanted. She was slightly confused with herself, why should she care what he thought of her, he barely knew her and she barely knows him either. Anna could tell this was going to be one hell of a marriage..

"What is your name dear?" the Queen asked Anna.

"Anna..," she said.

"Well Anna, this is your new fiancé, Prince Kaden," the King informed her, as he gestured over to the very attractive guy.

But Kaden just gave Anna a glare. And if looks could kill, Anna would be dead. It was as if he was glaring daggers at her and as if it was her fault that they were going to be married.

Anna slightly bowed her head to him, "Hello."

Kaden continued to glare at her but then just looked away from her and out the window while he muttered something unintelligible.

There was an awkward moment of silence that followed after that. Then the King cleared his throat, "Well then, Anna, we hope you like it here and that you and Kaden get along well," he gave a meaningful glance at his son, "We will have you shown to your room and you will get a tour of the palace tomorrow."

As it by cue, the man who brought Anna there appeared behind her and escorted her out as she nodded good-bye.

The man showed Anna to her room, which was on the fourth floor, and across the hall was Kaden's room.

When Anna went in her room the man left her alone. She noticed that her suitcases were at the foot of the rather large bed.

Her room was huge! She had two French glass double doors leading to a balcony, which had a beautiful view of a garden and a pond below. One wall was a huge walk-in closet and there was another door that led to a bathroom. The carpet and drapes were red in here as well as everywhere else in the entire palace. But the sheets on the huge king sized bed were gold and black. Anna was so tired that she quickly changed and crawled into the bed, and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
