HI guys! Ok last chapter of part two! Next is part three!

Gwen's POV:

I wasn't sure exactly what was going to happen, but then I knew that finding the anecdote was going to be a lot harder than I thought. Suddenly I felt myself overcome with rage, but then replaced with the feeling of betrayal. I know Heather is … well, Heather, but I didn't think she'd ever do anything like poison our own mother.

"What do you mean she poisoned your mother." Trent asked.

"Read this." I handed him the paper. As soon as he read it I started to cry and he pulled me into in his arms. Sure, I had only met this guy three days ago, but I felt safe. I wish I hadn't cried, that was weak of me.

"You're gonna be fine, its ok." He said, trying to console me.

" I know, I just… she."

"Hey, listen to me." I put his hand on my shoulder. "Everyone falls, everyone gets hurt, and sometimes you feel like you don't know them. Right?" I nodded. "Well, did you ever think that Heather was hurt."

"Hurt? She's an ice queen."

"People aren't that way just for the fun of it." this made me think, I even began questioning everything I knew. "Well that settles it then." He started getting up.

"What?"

"I'm coming with you."

"No, I can't put you through that."

"And I can't let you do this alone." He smiled at me. His green eyes sparkled and made me forget the world for a second.

Bridgette's POV:

"Zoey?" I saw Zoey with Mike in the Courtyard.

"Oh, hi Bridgette." She came over to me, smiling. "What's wrong?"

"You're father wishes to see you, and Courtney. There has been a great disruption in our lives today." Her face changed to a grave expression.

"Ok." She sighed. "Goodbye Mike." Zoey walked with me to the throne room. She took a deep breath and walked into the room. I don't know why I did, but I walked in and hid behind a curtain. I saw Zoey walk before her father and kneel. Beside her stood Courtney, with tear stained eyes.

"Girls." Boomed the Duke's voice. " I am not sure what has happened over the past few days. You have always been sensible daughters. But, Courtney, running away with a peasant boy!"

"Father I…"

"Silence, at a time like this. The throne is slipping out of our hands, we are going to war, and your baker boy will be fighting with them!"

"No!" she cried.

"Pull yourself together girl!" He turned around and put his hand on the wall. "Your mother is worsening by the day, Gwen has disappeared, and Heather has just been arrested for poisoning the Duchess!" There was a sound of distress in his voice. "Zoey, you are the only was who has kept to her duties. I have discussed with the King, when I am off to war, you will remain here, as Queen." I couldn't believe this, so much for Alejandro taking the throne. "Your Coronation will take place after your marriage to Mike, in two weeks. I will not be present for both ceremonies, I am leaving in one week. " Zoey's eyes lit up, I had expected her to be happy, but she seemed distressed. She curtseyed they left the room. Courtney tried to leave but her father called after her.

"You will marry Justin Courtney. And you are never to see that boy again. " Then she turned around, her eyes filled with fire. She calmed herself and put on her mask of perfection.

"Yes Father." Then she hurried away, trying not to show any emotion.

I ram away before the door shut and ran as far away as I could. Finally I reached the corridor near my quarters.

"Spying eh?" It was Geoff.

"No…" I blushed and looked at the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't tell." He smiled. "Ehy, I'm sorry bout the walk, my head kinda went out the window." laughed at this.

"Its cool."

"Yea?"

"Yea"

"Bridge," He put his hand behind his head. "Would you wanna go riding with me again?"

"Sure."

Courtney's POV:

"Courtney… I" said Zoey; we were walking back from my father's throne room.

"It's not your fault, it's mine."

"Courtney, listen to me. This is not your fault."

"Yes it is, I broke the rules, and now I've gotten Duncan into war!"

"Duncan? That's his name?"

"I never told you?"

"No, you don't really talk to me anymore. I miss you Courtney."

"Oh Zoey!" I put my hand on my shoulder. "I've hurt you too."

"Not by breaking the rules, I miss it when we were talkative, funny, little girls. We're still kids Courtney."

"I know. I just, it can't be that way again." Then I had to walk away, I couldn't hurt her anymore. I have to go say goodbye to Duncan.

Alejandro's POV:

My Heart felt like a 100 pound weight, I regretted everything. Though what I was about to do goes against everything I've ever known, I had to do it. I snuck down past the cellar and into the dungeon. It was a horrid place, crawling with rats and spider. It reeked of rotten food and animals. When I got to the guard he stopped me.

"Lord Alejandro, what are you doing here."

"I am visiting someone, I you will not tell anyone of this."

"Yes sir."

It was like a maze, but there deep with in it, I found a crying, raven haired girl. Her clothes and face covered with dirt. Then, here eyes met mine. They were sharp and full of pain.

"Heather?"

"What do you want? I trusted you; you tricked me, sent me here, and now you come back! Why do you torment me so?!"

"Heather, I came to apologize. What can I do to make it up to you."

"Nothing! I don't need you!" Then I turned around to walk away, I felt horrible. But I was stopped by her saying something.

"Find Gwen, and stop my brother, Chris of Maclean."
