Chapter 6: Midnight visit

Ann's POV.

I was reading Wuthering Heights. I was at the part where Heathcliff comes back from America and visits Cathy. But all of a sudden I fell asleep. I must have been really tired from the day's events. While I slept I heard something. I opened my eyes to hear something hitting my window. Then I heard my name.

"Ann are you there?" it was Joe.

I went over to the window to see Joe throwing little pebbles at my window.

"You made it" I said with happiness.

"Of course I did. What did you think I had forgotten?" he asked with a smile.

"It did cross my mind. But then again I fell asleep reading" I answered with a laugh.

"I'm coming up" Joe said coming up the vine.

He truly was my knight in shining armor.

"These are for you" Joe said handing me a dozen long stem red roses.

"There beautiful. You're so sweet" I said giving him a kiss.

"So this is what its like to be royalty?" Joe asked looking around the room.

"Yaw but I would rather live outside these four walls" I said with a sigh.

"Then come with me. And we could live happily ever after" Joe said taking my hand.

I wanted to so bad. But I couldn't I was a princess. I was not a regular person.

"You know I would love to. But I-I can't" I cried as tears ran down my face.

"Ann its okay don't cry. Everything will turn out all right" Joe said wiping my tears.

We talked a little while longer, more like hours longer. Before I knew it I was a sleep in Joe's arms. The sun shown through my windows. I opened my eyes to see it was 7:30. Oh my god I had to be down at breakfast by eight.

"Joe I have to get ready and be down stairs by eight" I said getting up and going to my closet.

"I will see you later then" Joe said kissing my forehead.

I walked him over to the window and kissed him goodbye. I watched as he walked away. He turned around and said in a quit voice.

"Till tonight my princess".

I blew him a kiss and went and got ready. I choose a little blue sun dress and a little white hat to go with it. I looked in the mirror and then went to breakfast.

Breakfast fifteen minuets later

As I sat eating my breakfast I began humming. My parents looked at me with curiosity.

"Ann is everything all right?" my father asked putting down his fork.

"Yes I'm fine father. Why do you ask?" I asked putting down my glass of orange juice.

"Because you began humming and it looked like you where starting to daydream" my mother said looking at me from the other end of the table.

"I'm just in a good mode I guess. That's all" I said with a smile.

I was so scared that my parents would see right through me. But they didn't at least not right now. I got done with breakfast told my parents that I loved them. Then I went and walked the grounds.

It was a beautiful day out the sun was shining; there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The flowers where in full bloom. I began to pick a dozen of them. I didn't even notice that someone had walked up.

"Having fun your highness? It's been long time no see" the strong deep voice said.

I looked up to see Joe standing there.

"Joe what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here now" I said sitting down the flowers and running into his arms.

"I know but I just had to see you" Joe said kissing me. It was like we where the only people in the world.

All of a sudden I heard foot steps. They where getting closer and closer.

"Ann! We told you to never see him again" my mother yelled.

I parted from Joe and looked at mother.

"But mother-"I started mother cut me off and began once again.

"I don't care Ann. Get in hear there is someone me and your father want you to meat" mother said taking my arm. "Me and your father will talk to you later about this matter" she finished dragging me inside.

I looked back at Joe as tears filled my eyes. I knew that when my parents talked about this "matter" that I would never see him again. I knew that for a fact.

"This is Jason Lewis and his parents Mr. and Mrs. Lewis. There the rulers of the kingdom the next village over" my mother said introducing me to them.

"It's nice to meat you Jason and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis "I said shaking there hands. Jason kissed my hand.

"It's nice to meat you as well Ann. I'm sure we will get along nicely" Jason said with a smile.

What is he talking about "will get along nicely" I had just meat him it's not like we where going to be getting married or anything.

"What is he talking about "will get along nicely?" I asked looking at my parents with confusion in my dark brown eyes.

"Well Ann, Jason here is your fiancée" my mother said looking at Jason and his parents.

No what where my parents talking about? My fiancée? my heart was already with Joe not this man I had just meat. He was at least five years older then me. Well so was Joe but that's different.

"My what? No I won't go through with this. My hearts already with someone else" I said running up to my room.

"Excuse us" I heard my mother say as my parents followed me.

I ran into my room and fell on my bed and cried my eyes out.

"Ann that was uncalled for you get yourself back down there and apologies to the Lewis's" my father said coming into my room followed by mother.

"No! I won't, I'm not going through with this" I said lifting my head up and looking at my parents" you can't make me".

"Oh yes we can where you parents" my mother said looking at me with disappointment.

"What do you mean? No you can't" I said sitting up with tears dripping off my face.

"Yes we can and we will" my parents said together then they said what I was fearing they where going to say. "Now that you're engaged you are not allowed to see Joe. What do you think Jason and his parents would say?"

"NO! You can't…you can't. I won't… you can't make me" I sobbed as I began to through a fit like I did in Rome a year ago. This wasn't fair I'm not something my parents can just auction off.

"Ann get a hold of yourself, you're not a child anymore. You're acting ridicules" my father said with anger. He hated it when I acted like this. Which wasn't very often?

"No I won't. You can't make me. I'm seeing Joe rather you like it or not. I don't care what you do" I said as I continued to sob.

"Fine you give us no choice you are confined to this room until further notice. And if you try to escape Leo the head of police will tell me and your father" my mother said leaving the room with father.

I ran to the door but it was to late the door was locked already. I heard my parents telling the officer something.

"Know one is allowed in except us nor is Ann allowed out".

"Yes your majesties" the officer said.

I cried as I sat at my door begging and begging for them to let me out.

"PLEASE…PLEASE LET ME OUT! YOU CAN'T KEEP IN HERE FOREVER!" I sobbed putting my head on the door.

"Were sorry Ann but until you come out of this fantasy that you are in. You're going to have to stay in there" my mother said.

I continued to cry. I finally heard them walk away. All I wanted now was to die this wasn't fair. I was being held in my room agents my own free will. Where was my knight in shining armor when I needed him?

I went and sat in the window seat and cried as I looked out the window. I felt like a prison. No I felt like one of those princesses that I had read about in books always waiting for prince charming. Mine was out there I just wouldn't see him until midnight. Which was hours and hours away it was only 11 in the morning. I just rested my head on my knees and cried my eyes out just as I had been moments ago.

"Where are you Joe when I need you the most?" I asked in the wind.

Sneak Peak

As it struck midnight Joe was claiming up the vine to see me.

"Thank god your here" I said giving him a hug.

"What's wrong?" Joe asked looking down at me.

"I'm getting...married. My parents are forcing me to married someone I don't love" I said as tears of pain and sorrow filled my eyes.

"They can't your 20 they can't force you to" Joe said wiping away the tears.

"But in my county they can" I said crying all over again.

"They can't I won't let them"Joe said with confidants. He just held me tightly in his arms and rocking me back and forth.

I closed my eyes and let myself forget the whole day except for this moment. What I didn't know was that my parents where up to my room.

"ANN!!!!!! WE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES TO NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. Now you give us know other choice you have pushed us to are limits" my father said with anger as he yelled.
