Sam's POV

After my almost kiss with Danny, I ran back to the woods. As soon as I got there I looked back at Danny. I saw him standing there grinning like an idiot while touching the part on his cheek where I kissed. Then he turned around, go ghost and flew home. I smiled, shook my head and willed the vines to take me to my castle. When I got there, I snuck to the back and willed the vines to lift me to my room in a tower. When I got there, I took out my wig. (Yeah I've been wearing a wig… got a problem with that?) And my long silky black hair fell down until it reached my waist. I went and took a shower, when I was done; I took out my favorite violet dress (A/N: picture at my profile). I let my hair flow freely and brushed it a bit so I looked decent. Then I heard a knock at my door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me princess."

"Oh… come in Rosaline"

"Thank goodness your back princess. I thought you won't be back until dinner time." Rosaline said as she sighed in relief.

"Well, I'm here now." I said reassuring her as I brushed my hair.

"So… how did it go?" Rosaline asked.

"How did what go?"

"Your meeting with Danny!"

"Oh… i-it was nothing. You know the usual, we hung-out and stuff…." I said.

"It's something more than that I could tell."

I turned around to face her "how?"

"Well… first of all you're blushing like crazy. Second you have a dreamy look in your eyes. And lastly, you're smiling… a lot." Rosaline said smirking as if she'd won the battle.

I blushed harder. "Was it that obvious?" I asked smiling lightly. Rosaline squealed and kind of hurt my ears.

"Tell me EVERYTHING princess. Did you guys kissed? Did you tell him your feelings? Did he accept you? Oh my gosh tell me!" Rosaline exclaimed.

"Whoa! Calm down and I'll tell you..." I said laughing. I told her everything about my day with Danny and when I was done she looked disappointed.

"What?" I asked.

"Why did Jazz HAD to ruin your moment?" she groaned. I laughed a little.

"But I don't understand one thing…"

"What is it?"

"Why … did you kiss him in the cheek and not on the lips?"

"Umm…. Uhh… well I think he… uh… doesn't like me that way." I said.

"WHAT? Of course he likes you! You clearly said, if it weren't for Jazz, you two would have kissed!" Rosaline screamed.

"Ow! Gee Rosaline will you quit with the screaming?" I groaned rubbing my ear.

"Oh sorry princess… he he you know me… I'm a hopeless romantic you know." Rosaline said blushing

"It's alright." I said

"But seriously princess… it's so obvious he likes you…"

"Oh I don't know Rosaline… maybe it's just…. Hormones?" I asked more than said.

"Princess… he really likes you... trust me." Rosaline said smiling. "Well, the king and queen said you should join them at dinner because you'll be discussing something important."

"Okay… tell them I'll be with them in a minute."

"As you wish princess…" then she left.

When I finished brushing my hair, I went out of my room and into the dining room where I saw my parents and their 'adviser' Darwin discussing something. You see I don't trust Darwin. I feel that he's hiding something from us... judging by the evil look in his eyes. I just shrugged that thought off and greeted my parents then sat down at my place.

"So… what is it you want to discuss with me?" I asked.

"Well you know that your birthday is in a week…." My mother began.

"And your mother and I think it's time you chose a husband." My father said smiling.

I choked on my drink. I coughed violently that Rosaline had to pat my back.

"WHAT?" I choked.

"Don't worry dear. Your father and I arranged a ball on your birthday and invited all the eligible bachelors in the kingdom. If you wish you may invite any boy you happen to meet." My mother explained.

"B-b-but mother… I'm only fourteen turning fifteen in a week! I-I can't get married that fast!" I exclaimed

"We are only going to choose a husband. When you're sixteen, that's the only time you will marry him." My father said.

"Fine. But at least let me invite some friends of my own." I said.

"Why of course dear. Anyone you like." My mother said smiling.

"Even peasants?" I asked quietly. My parents stopped eating for a moment and turned to look at me.

"You've been going out again? Oh Samantha. I told you it is not right for a princess to go out into the town!" my mother exclaimed.

"It is not proper." My father added. My anger got the best of me so I stood up and screamed at their faces.

"I want to meet other people! To be friends with my future subjects! I want to have friends! Rosaline is my only friend here in this torture chamber! I want to go out and know what it's like to be a normal person! To have a normal life! To meet normal people! And not those snobby rich princes you make me meet! I want to find a husband of my own! I don't need you to make matchmaker for me! I want someone to love me for who I am, and not because I am a princess! And if you can't appreciate that…. Then…. You just lost your daughter…" I said tears forming in my eyes but I shook them off and ran to my bedroom. I wasn't going to cry in front of my parents like that.

When I got to my room that's where I let all my emotion out. After an hour or two I finally calmed down. I heard a knock on the door.

"Princess? It's me… Rosaline. May I come in?"

"I g-guess" I said straightening myself out.

"I am so sorry princess." Rosaline said hugging me.

"It's not your fault…" I said.

"I just cant stand to see you like this… i-if you need a shoulder to cry on… you know where to find me." She said.

"thanks Rosaline." I said gratefully. Rosaline smiled then left. After that I heard another knock at my door.

"Sam honey… its me your mother…"

"what do you want?"

"please let me in… I-I want to talk to you… please?"

"fine…" I said quietly.

My mother went in and sat down in front of me at my bed.

"okay you have 5 minutes to say what you have to say." I said.

"Sam… I just wanted to say sorry…. I don't want to see you hurt. That's why I don't like the idea of you going out there." My mother said.

"but I can take care of my self just fine! And besisdes… I have friends there who actually care for me…" I said.

"I know dear but you know me…" my mom said. When I didn't speak she sighed.

"alright…. I'm allowing you to invite anyone you want to your birthday… and you, you only can choose your husband-to-be…" my mom said. My eyes widened and I looked at her. She was smiling.

"r-r-really?" I asked surprised.

"yes really."

"thank you…" I said smiling.

"now … do you have someone in mind that you met in town that you might like?" my mom said with a smirk.

"well there is this boy…" I began.

"really tell me about him."

I told my mother everything about Danny and his family. Except the part where he has ghost powers. I told her about our hang-outs and even about our almost kiss.

"aww… that's so sweet honey." My mother said smiling.

I blushed. "thanks mom… uhh.. can I sleep now?"

"but dear… its only 7… usually you go to bed at around 11."

"I guess I'm just tired…"

"alright. Goodnight Samantha."

"its 'Sam' mom…' I said. My mother just smiled and closed the door.

I tried to sleep and realized I couldn't. so instead I went out to our garden. That's when I heard voices. Familiar ones. I snuck behind a tree and saw Darwin talking to one of the guards.

"what are we going to do now boss?" the guard asked

"we have to act fast… we have to get the throne. Darwin said.

"and how exactly will we do that?"

"we'll kill the king and queen…" Darwin said an evil grin on his face. I gasped. I was right he is planning something.

"but what about the princess?" I heard the guard say.

"we'll hold her captive. But for now…. Lets just focus on when we will do it."

"what do you have in mind." The guard asked.

"on the princess' birthday… I'll make it my special present for her." Darwin said laughing evily. I was horrified. I ran to my room and shut the door. I was planning to tell my parents but they wont belive me. "I need to tell Danny…. He's my only hope…."

review please! :D
