Hey all! Thank you for being with me through this story and continuing to read! I always love your input so please keep reviewing! Iv'e had a rough couple of months so i apologize for late posts :/. I WILL BEING LEAVING FOR HAWAII TUESDAY (4/22/14), so if i do not post that week that is why :) but if i have time i will! Ok, lets get this story going again shall we?!

I walked down the hall in my uniform, looking everywhere for a selected or royal. I did not want to see them just yet, especially King Clarkson. I approached the stairway to the servants quarters and began to descend.

Once I reached the floor I looked for Mary, Anne, or Lucy. I stood on my tip-toes, bobbing my head back and worth over the crowd, scanning their faces for them. I didn't see them anywhere, great. After a little while, I just gave up and began to purposelessly walk around. I almost decided to sleep in the hallway when a figure tapped me on the shoulder.

"You new here miss?" Anne! Oh beautiful Anne! I almost screamed but choked my excitement down, "Yes, I am." I stated rather quickly, she replied, "Well miss..." she paused to look at my name tag, "Shea, I have been in charge of helping the 'newbies' learn their way around, and assist them when needed." she smiled, grabbing my arm pulling me towards a room. She opened it revealing a room with two beds, one was taken filled with belongings and decorated to the 'T' with the colors blue and brown. Next to it was bare, but it was sufficient, I had certainly made do with less. I smiled and turned to her, pointing to the left side of the room, "Who's stays there?" she winked, "I do."

I almost jumped out of excitement, my sweet, darling Anne, would be with me. Oh I was really going to love it here.

"Shea, do you have any belongings you would like to decorate your room with?" she asked, my smile faded, "No, I lost everything to the rebels back in my hometown, this is all I have." I answered raising my pack. I knew I could put any pictures up, that would give me away. I needed to be as careful as possible. "Oh i'm sorry dear," she touched my arm gently, "but we will just have to fix that!" I was puzzled, what did she mean? She had to have noticed my face and explained, "You'll see my dear, don't you worry, just get settled and ready for a busy day tomorrow."

I was about to lay down to sleep when she stopped me, "Oh wait! Let me see your schedule." i handed the piece of paper with my schedule and handwritten notes about the extra privileges or tasks I could do. "Ahhh, quite a busy girl. Well let me give you some tips. ALWAYS call the royals by Majesty, Highness, King, Queen, or Prince. If a royal needs your help put everything aside and help them first, never deny them, or the selected. Unless.." her mind wandered, and her eyes zoned out, turning glassy, almost crying, but she shook her head. "What is it? What were you going to say?" she paused, "...It's nothing really.. but I was going to say unless it was America, Oh, Lady America I mean. She would let you contradict her, to help her. Offer ideas, and she would listen. Call her by her first name, if you didn't she would get mad. She just lit up a room with her smile, laugh, and music. She was just...strong. There will never be another like that girl. Illea needed her, Prince Maxon needs her."

I felt something wet on my nose, tears. No, I needed to stop that. I quickly wiped the liquid out off my face and replied a little shakily, "She sounds like quite a woman. I'm sure she adored you, and loved you very much."

"She did. She loved him to." she shook her head, "She never wanted to accept it or never understood her feelings but... she loved that man. I always knew she did and smiled at her dilemma. He loved her as well, I only wish she was here to see it. None of us have ever seen the Prince this way..." she paused, "Well, look at me, pouring all my troubles on you. I must be boring you dear! Well you need to get a nights sleep, see you in the morning miss." she waved leaving me to get acquainted with my new surroundings. I really didn't want to do that. I focused on what Anne had said.

Was that it? Did I really love him? Is that why I'm doing this?

I feel asleep with those thoughts on my mind.

"Wake up miss!" I was awoken by my thoughts from a hand shaking me gently on the shoulder. "You need to get ready!" I bolted out of my bed, and turned to the full length mirror on the back of the door. In the mix of everything last night I had forgotten to take my uniform off, so I was already dressed. However, my hair is a mess. I smoothed my dress down and got the few wrinkles out. Then began to work on my hair.

I brushed my hair thoroughly then dampened it slightly to make it pliable. Running my fingers through it I separated it into 3 parts and began to quickly french braid it. My hair was just past my shoulders, so the braid was small but long enough to have a tail. I finished and checked the time, 6:37, ahead of schedule!

I made my way to the kitchen and found Marlee. She turned and her face brightened Immediately. "Ame-e-Shae, so nice to see you!" she hugged me and slipped something into my pocket. "Now lets get you something to eat." She grabbed a paper plate and put an apple, strawberry pastry, and two pieces of bacon. "Here you are dear." she handed me the plate.

I took the plate and sat on unused counter space and devoured my food. Once I finished I checked the time again, 6:57, Justin should be here any minute. Just as I thought that I saw him walk through the door. His eyes landed on me.

He walked over and said, "On time miss, starting your time here right I see. Well, ready to get to work?"

"Yes, yes I am." I replied, grabbing food that was set out for the royals as we spoke.

Then we headed to the dining room.
