This is chapter is the update of the Kingdom, third person point of view.

Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let's light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You're ready to break
Don't look away.

The Queen paced her study thinking about how in a short few hours she would kick her only daughter, only child, out of the kingdom. They place she fought to make safe for everyone around her. She walked over and smacked a picture off the table sitting next to her desk. The picture went flying smashing into the floor, bursting into thousands of pieces. She didn't care she just walked over the glass in her bare feet.

There was a small knock on her door, she yelled 'come in' and in walked Isabel.

"We are having a drink down in the dining area, come there are things we must talk about." Isabel turned swiftly and walked down the hallway leaving the door wide open for the Queen to follow.

Without a pause of hesitation, she followed her shutting the door behind her. She glanced once over her shoulder to see her brother standing outside of Quil's door, they met eyes, but he turned away. She stopped in surprise; she has never gotten the cold shoulder from her brother before. She shook it off though not really caring, he wasn't on her side. He hasn't been for the longest time. She told herself, before turning away and walking down the hall to join her 'real' family.

Little did she know that as soon as she turned her back, her daughter had came running out of Quil's rooms into her brother's waiting arms. She wouldn't get the pleasure of seeing her daughter leave forever.

The others were already sitting around the table drinking slowly from wine glasses. Her husband had saved an empty seat next to him, but would not look at her as she sat down. She reached for his hand, but he pulled it back pretending to fix his hair.

She knew everyone saw it, but pretended that nothing was wrong all the same. Arabelle smirked, she knew that Denny was very upset with the way his wife has treated his daughter the last couple of years. She knew that their marriage was on the rocks, even if the Queen didn't say so. She grabbed Walter's hand, glad that their marriage was fine. They had a baby on the way to prove it, yet no one knew it. She had become a pro at blocking her mind from the Queen and King.

Yet did she know her son began to make his plans to go after Aya, his one true love.

"Why are we here?" asked the Queen.

"To talk is why!" snapped her husband, she turned to glare at him, but he still would not look at her.

"There is no need to talk, what's done is done." She said coldly.

"My Queen, are you sure you want to do this?" asked Leofrick who slowed took a sip of his lion's blood.

"Yes. She wants out, she gets out. Just not the way she planned it." She poured herself so fresh Leopard's blood and took a long, slow drink.

"Our children better not go after her." Isabel said coldly to the Queen.

"They will not. They did not wish to go, you all made that clear."

"Yes, but they have never been apart from their friends since the day they were born. Now we are ripping them apart like it is nothing." Lady Ruby said slamming down her fist.

"It is nothing my dear sister."

Leofrick sighed and looked over into the distant, he was surprised when he met young Aya's eyes. She was hiding behind a post with a bag in her hand; he could see the tears streaming down her face. She wasn't aware of them. Before he could do or say anything she was pulled out of view by a mystery hand. He knew right away that it must have belonged to the King. He didn't say anything; he just turned back to his glass and took a long drink.

"I'm through with talking about this. My daughter's birthday was ruined today because Binky you were a horrible mother and a horrible Queen." Lady Ruby got up slamming her chair into the table and walked off the down the hall to her room.

"I say I agree with my wife." Lord Leofrick said quietly pushing his chair in and walking slowly after his wife.

The others also got up, but not before saying something mean and cruel to the Queen. She didn't let it bother her though, she was the Queen and she made her own decisions.

"Well I hope your happy." Her husband said getting up throwing his half full cup on the floor and walking away from her.

"Excuse me?" She called after him, but he would not turn. She raced after him. "Denny, I dare say what is your problem?"

He didn't answer until they were in his wife's study and the door was tightly closed.

"YOU! YOU BINKY ARE MY PROBLEM!" He screamed at the top of his lungs as he picked up the shattered picture of their daughter at the age of 5.

"What?"

"You have changed to much." He gave up and waved his hand over the frame and glass fixing it. He placed the picture back on the desk where it belonged. "Don't ask me to explain."

"I haven't changed that much."

"The hell you haven't. I don't know you anymore and you're my wife!" he threw his hands up in frustration.

"You know me…"

"NO! I don't. The women I married would have not have stopped loving her daughter, she would have not have forgotten her family, and she would not have tossed her ONLY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER HOME!"

"I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO!"

"WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN BORN! YOU SAID IF YOU WOULD NOT LET HER LIVE HER FINAL YEAR IN THESE WALLS."

"THINGS CHANGED!"

"NO YOU CHANGED!"

He sat down in the chair and picked up their wedding picture looking at how happy they once were. He sat it down and turned back to his wife.

"I can't do this anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving the castle Binky."

"Denny…"

"I can't be your husband."

Despite her calls for him to came back he picked up the bag that he already had packed since after the party and walked out the back door of the kitchen and to the stables. He got his horse and rode and rode. He didn't look back.

The Queen screamed her husband's name one more time as she watched his retreating back. He couldn't leave her she needed him. He was the only person keeping her from drowning in this world. Now he was gone. She screamed at the top of her lungs bringing the kingdom to their feet.

Her sister, Lady Ruby sat at her chair as she listened to her sister fight with her brother-in-law. She did not go to her aid. Though she did not show it, she did not approve of what her sister had done to her niece. She did not approve of who her sister had become the last 10 years.

Leofrick came behind her and lifted her up and sat down in the chair, setting her back down on his lap.

"I saw Aya tonight."

"Where?"

"In the dining hall."

"What was she doing?"

"She was running. The king was helping her."

Ruby was shocked, Aya was gone. Luc had helped her. Yet she was not angry, she was not really shocked when she thought about it. She could tell by Luc's face that he did not want this to happen.

"Good."

"Yes it is good."

Back in their daughter's room, Edward was comforting Stacie. She had not stopped crying since she watched her best friend run away from her with bags in her hands.

"We have to go after her."

"We can't right now."

"I know! BUT WE HAVE TOO!"

"We will. Just give things sometime to settle down."

"Did you see what your mother did to her face?"

"Yes."

She cried out again and clung to Edward who wrapped his arms around her and began to cry himself. Will this ever be over? He asked himself.

Embry walked to his brother's room to find him pacing the floor. He closed the door behind him and his brother stopped pacing for a few seconds before starting up again.

"Quil this isn't going to help."

"No, I'm going after her."

"You can't now."

"I will soon."

"4 months."

"WHAT?"

"Give it 4 months and we will go to her. The Queen's husband has just left her. We won't be able to get away."

This had stopped his brother's pacing all together..

"Denny left?"

"Yes. He and the Queen got in a large fight and he rode off on horseback. I really don't think he will be back anytime soon. I'm surprised you didn't hear it all."

"Four months? Promise?"

"I promise my brother."

The Queen ran down the hall towards her daughter's room. She wanted someone to hold her, anyone. But when she swung open the door, she found no one. Just a single piece of paper, with 3 words written on it.

Good-Bye Mother.

And time
Is all I ask for
Time
I just need one more day
And time
You've been crying too long
Time
And your tears wrote this song
Stay

There is it. Hoped you liked it!!!
