Ten Days before the Royal Wedding
Everything was hectic around the Volleta Castle. With the wedding only ten days away: maids, slaves, and personal connoisseurs were running around, like horses were chasing after them. The seamstress was busy putting the finishing touches on Lily's wedding gown. The local gardener was gathering up an assortment of flowers for the ceremony and the afterward ball. The Queen was, at every moment of the day, making preparations for every single second of the first Royal wedding, she had to plan.
Lily, on the other hand, was doing nothing to do with the wedding. Mostly all she was doing was lying in bed with her fever reading a book about pirates or love, true love.
Ever since that day when Lily was nine, and James left, she had been interested in pirates. She swore that he went off in a pirate ship. Lily love to read about he adventures of all the famous Captains of the most powerful ships. The most hated Captain, Captain Voldemort, still roamed the seas that present day.
The interests in 'love' started when she was told about her arrange marriage. Lily knew she could never love Lord Pettigrew of London. He seemed too weird for her to be fond of him, ever. She wanted a man that loved her no matter what she was, or how she acted is what she dreamed about every single night. If she did not dream about that, she would dream about James Potter. He was so nice to her. Always, they would play together. With him Lily was free; free from all the pressure there is to be a Royal. Those were the best times of both of their lives.
Nothing seemed right to Lily. She felt lost and confused. Everything was going wrong. Lily was supposed to be happy.
When Lily was younger she had her whole future planned out. She was going to marry James Potter and have a bunch of kids and live happily ever after. It seems there will be no ever after in this story right now.

"LISTEN UP, YOU SCALLYWAGS! We are attacking the Netherlands tonight! BE READY AT MIDNIGHT!" Captain Potter yelled to his crew.
The ship was old. It had torn gray sails and was the fastest ship to ever sail the open seas.
"James, I still don' gets why we are capturing the princess," said Sirius.
"There has to be a reason?" James walked up to the steering wheel. (A/N If anyone knows the name of that wheel thing on a ship, please tell me.)
"Yeah. Why don' you ever talk bout ya past?"
"There is only one thing in my past that I like to think about, and that is the princess."

That day, nine days before the Royal wedding, Lord Pettigrew was arriving. The cooks were busy making a huge feast for the Lord's first day in the castle. There was going to be a ceremony on Gadrien's Fort for the arrival of Lord Pettigrew. Gadrien's Fort was a small area where all outdoor occasions were hosted.
"Lily, I have heard dreadful stories about Lord Pettigrew, dreadful stories," said Marpessa, Lily's fifteen year old younger sister.
She had long, golden blonde hair that fell almost to her knees. Sometimes her hair would curl up to her lower back. Marpessa had round aqua blue eyes.
"Mary, I have heard them too. Why would mother and father choose someone so terrible? The stories that are passed around are so disturbing," said Lily, analyzing the dress that was made for her to wear at the ceremony of Entrance.
The dress had an ivory colored flower print. It was not terribly puffy like others. The bodice was tighter than anything Lily had ever worn before. A low square neckline was sported at the chest.
"I hope he is not like everybody says he is," Marpessa prayed aloud. She was still wearing her nightgown and a floral pink lace robe. Her feet paced the length of Lily's bedchamber.
"I hope someone comes and saves me from this," said Lily. 'Someone like James,' she thought to herself as an after thought.

Princess Lily came gliding down the marble staircase landing down onto the foyer. She could hardly breathe going down. It seemed like a different dress all together.
"Oh Lily, you look beautiful!" squealed the Queen. Lily smiled, a fake smile.
"How does it feel on you?"
"It is a little tight. What am I saying? I can barely breathe in this dress," Lily admitted, still walking down the stairs.
"It is from London. Your father thought it would be nice for Lord Pettigrew to see you in clothing from his country," said Queen Elizabetha.
Lily's eyes widened slightly. "Are you telling me that women in London have to wear this everyday?"
Her mother slowly nodded her head. "I pity them."
"Why?"
"They never get to breathe. I love to breathe. People take it for granted around here."
Elizabetha silently chuckled at her eldest daughter's remarks.
"Argh! Why do I have to wear this…this…lung…this…lung minimizer." Marpessa came pounding down the staircase.

The trumpet melody flooded the walls of Gadrien's Fort. Everybody that was important in the Netherlands had showed up to meet their new king. There were also a couple people from England at the fort.
"Lord Pettigrew of London, England," presented the announcer.
The large wooden doors opened. A short, fat man walked into the fort. He had balding light blonde hair, and big, watery, blue eyes.
"That can not be him," Lily muttered under her breath. She could never accept him as a person. He was too ugly for her liking.
Lord Pettigrew walked under the swords the soldiers were holding up, hands behind his back. He had to strut the length of the fort to get to the Royal family.
"King Edward, Queen Elizabetha Lanni, Lillian, Marpissa," Lord Pettigrew said in a squeaky voice.
"My name is Lily not Lillian; Marpessa is not Marpissa, and it is Princess Lily and Princess Marpessa to you." She slumped in her chair slightly showing that she was annoyed.
"Thank you for correcting me, darling."

"Mother, he called me darling!" It was after the Ceremony of Entrance in the Throne Room of the Volleta Castle.
"He was being nice! Give him a chance," her mother yelled back.
It was getting harder to breathe by the minute for Lily. She was becoming lightheaded and faint. She ran out of the throne room and up the stairs. Once up the stairs, she went to her room.
Lily could not stand this Lord Pettigrew. He ate like a pig. At dinner he did not even pull the chair out for you. He just sat down and piled as much food he could eat on one plate. The king had to pull Lily's chair out so she could sit. Pettigrew was forgetful; he forgot everybody's name at least ten times. At every second he would try to say something witty, but he just sounded stupid. A horrible king he would be, the worst in years most likely.
Suddenly, everything started to go Black. Breathing started to stop. Lily fell onto the ground in front of her fireplace, everything was blank.

"All right. Some rules for the invasion; kill anyone in your way, kill no Royals, no rapes, keep all soldiers away from the Castle, be quite, and I capture Princess Lily, no one else. Now let's go!"

Small rowboats came to the shore of the Netherlands. Pirates had swords and torches at hand. Gradually the rowboats made it to the shore. Some of the pirates went to the villages; some over to the harbors. Others went to the fort, while some went to the gates of the castle.
A select few, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, went with Captain Potter into the Volleta Castle. It was not that hard to get into because the Netherlands had most of their army down in Northern Africa.
"Her room is this way." James pointed to the right of the hallway. They were being extra quite, trying not to wake anyone.
They walked to the end of the hallway were there were two large doors made of pine wood. One of the doors had an oval carved in it while the other had a bouquet of lilies. James opened the last door on the left. There he saw Lily sprayed on the ground blacked out.
She had grown so much. Lily had always been cute, but now she was beautiful. The red hair he loved was longer than before, and it looked to smooth. If only he could see her eyes. The green eyes that sucked him in to a different world. At the moment he realized; he loved her.
James bent down next to her to check her pulse. There was a faint thump. He took out a pocket knife from one of his pockets and cut off the dress and corset. She was now only wearing her under dress, which showed some of her thin figure. James put a hand on the small of her back; the other underneath her legs, and picked her up.
"Tell everybody to get back to the ship. Now!" James ordered his first mate and second mate.
