AN: Here again is another chapter of, 'A Chance Not Worth Taking'. I want to say I am so sorry for some of the grammatical errors in the previous chapter. I have fixed them up. That is what I get for writing late at night. Anyway I want to thank you guys for the reviews. I never thought I'd get one! This chapter will be longer than the last one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight as Stephenie Meyer has the rights to it and I do not own The Tudors as that belongs to Michael Hirst and to history (seriously if I did, Anne Boleyn would have survived one way or another.)

January 27th 1536

Lord Cromwell was in his office sorting out all of the paperwork. Some were from courtiers asking for one thing or another and others were actual ones that needed dealing with at this moment. At the very second that he was about to get down to all of the business of the kingdom the doors slammed open and in walked Mistress Hale without even a word or announcement from one of his servants. The doors were quickly closed and the two were left alone.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DERSERVE SUCH TREATMENT!" yelled Rosalie. Lord Cromwell knew that sort of temper to well, it was just like the King's yet her words sounded more threatening to him. Probably because he could never think of a woman yelling like that but then again this was no ordinary woman, he sure knew that.

"Now now Mistress Hale, please explain what is going on."

"The King has it in his mind to take me as a mistress, his advances were quite clear. Lady Seymour was distressed at the sight and I am sure the Queen would try and ring my neck if she were ever to hear of it, not before I would ring hers of course."

"Mistress Hale, I know that you have powers beyond your control, that you were changed due to other people's doing but do not try and ruin your reputation now. If the King wants you as a mistress you must do his bidding."

"I am sorry Lord Cromwell but you have forgot one thing, I am a vampire!" whispered Rose. This was her only confidant and the only one to know of her secret. "Do you want me to kill the King when there are so many disputes over who is heir? You must be joking with me."

Lord Cromwell swallowed. He was afraid. He was afraid of her and of the King. The King could easily punish him if he did not do the King's bidding but he could easily say the same for Mistress Hale.

"I will try and divert the King's attentions back to the Queen and to Lady Seymour if it pleases you but remember I am your protection here. If you do anything I disagree with I can easily have you punished."

Rosalie just held her head up high and the curtseyed. A punishment of his she was not afraid of. If it came down to it she would willingly accept the King's offers and punish Cromwell instead but she wanted the King off her back. She had to follow by Cromwell's terms for now.

King Henry VIII was powerful man. He had everything he wanted, everything except a son. He knew he would have to lie with his wife again sooner or later but not tonight. He could not forgive her for what happened to their last child, even if it wasn't all her fault.

Though he loved his wife, he loved others as well. Well, he loved them in his own way. Firstly there was the Lady Jane Seymour. She was blonde, plain and everything opposite to Anne and secondly, there was the newest addition to the Queen's retinue, Mistress Rosalie Hale. She was blonde, had a dazzling beauty and was defiant. She was similar in some traits to his Queen but yet the differences were obvious. Why did the strings of his heart always have to move in more than one direction? He remembered his younger days when his heart was for Katherine, his unlawful wife, and when he then cheated on her, first with that girl Anne Stafford, then Elizabeth Blount and having his long for son with her, then of course there was Mary Boleyn and of course there were numerous others.

Had he regretted anything he had done? No. Would he do it again? Most certainly. He knew who he wanted except this time it was more than one person.

January 28th 1536

Anne Boleyn was smart for her time. She was an all around intelligent and she was smart enough to work out that her husband was straying. She loved her husband even if it their union was originally a plan filled with ambition. Her ambitious streak had not left her. She knew what she had to do. She had to befriend one of these women that the King was now infatuated with. She could not bear herself to have a confidant in Jane Seymour. Her family was just as ambitious as hers and were there waiting in the wings, waiting for her to fail. No, it was decided that Rosalie Hale would be her confidant. She had no family connections that she knew of. It was her beauty that obviously got her places; maybe her beauty could even convince the King to come back to his Queen. It was decided.

Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire and father to Queen Anne, was sitting next to Anne at a small table within her chambers. As the Queen's ladies quickly manoeuvred their way around the chamber, Anne leaned towards her father and spoke softly.

"Our interests are swaying father. I do not know what I am to do?" said Anne, almost pleading.

"Have a son! Have a prince! Have the living image of the king in your arms and then we are safe!" said Thomas in a harsh, almost brutal, whisper.

"It is not that easy! Not only is Lady Seymour a distraction of the King's attentions but that blonde girl other there," said Anne, pointing towards Rosalie, "She has also taken the King's eye. I am scared of what will happen if the Seymour's gain any power. Mistress Hale, that blonde one, has allegiance to no one. If I am to be back in the King's good graces, if I am to conceive again, she must be the one to help me."

"Well then, you know what you must do," replied the Earl of Wiltshire before making his exit of the room.

Anne hoped her plan would work. No one knew how much pain she was in for not delivering a healthy son just as she had promised. She would cry at night wishing that the child she miscarried was real and that it were a boy. If only Henry would try again.

She decided she would play her plan very carefully. She didn't want to scare Rosalie off. She needed her as a friend.

Rosalie however was not going to be caught off guard for she heard the whole conversation while she was fixing the Queen's kirtles. If this was something that she could do to get the King's view fully away from her, even if for a moment, she was willing to take on the challenge. All she had to do now was wait for the Queen to invite her to have a conversation.

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I like it, it really will take me into a good story line for at least the next couple of chapters.

As always, please review! It is much appreciated.
