A/N- Hey guys :) this is my first story so please R&R :)!Any type of review is welcome :)!Thanks for taking your time to read my story! Oh and there aren't any Vampires in the first few chapters, but there will be I promise :)!

Lyna was a small non outspoken princess who stayed in her room most of the day reading, she had ebony hair that was wavy, and swayed down to the tips of her thighs. She had deep sky blue eyes, and knew how to handle any situation or so she thought.

It was a cold day on the outskirts of the town that I reigned over, I remember it as though it was yesterday, the trees were swaying in the wind, the sky was a murky water color, and the damp and bitter dew was forming on the edges of the wild grasses that were anchored around the town. I was in my usual place, perched high on the edge of the palaces railing taking in the fresh air and cracking open a new book. That was my past time all day everyday, except on my sisters' birthdays. There was Kirina who was the oldest sister with long fiery red hair and a temper to match. Brunae who had golden blond hair, and was kind to all those who were to her. Then there was Tillie, the small girl with a huge attitude. light brown hair, and striking green eyes. Lovely as they sound they were a pain to deal with, a royal pain at that.

"Maid, clean this,"

"Maid do that,"

"Father, my dress isn't the right one,"

"Mother, my hair isn't perfect.".

So all day everyday they would yell for the duke, butler, mother, father, the maids, the guards, the carriage men, and me. Though I never appeared it didn't stop their ever present wailing, whining, and screaming. That is my life. Stuck in the shadows of the three "perfect" princesses, and never living up to expectations. That would change, I hoped.

Today was the royal ball in which I would sneak out the extravagant party and read in the courtyard until it was over. Then tell my parents that I had so much, and try and forget the whole experience. Every year my mother would pick out a new dress for each of us. This year Kirina had a baby blue ankle length gown that had long sleeves clingy to her like skin. Brunae had a deep purple dress that strayed just below her calves with short puffy sleeves. Tillie's number was a light green that complimented her eyes and made her look simply ravishing featuring mid arm length sleeves. My dress was the most beautiful one I had ever seen. A floor length scarlet dress with off the shoulder sleeves that were a see-through nylon and stopped just above my middle finger. What a waste it would go to. I sighed and waited by that door, assuming that every bit of this would be the most vile torture one could come up with.

I ambled slowly over to the carriage watching to be sure that no one saw the small book I slipped into my overly large cloak.

"Hello dearest sister, it's been awhile since you veered from that room of yours and actually joined the family," Kirina told me.

I nodded to her then sat down on the velvet patent seats.

"Ready to go my ladies?" wondered the driving turning to face the four of us.

I just say quietly as my highly annoying kin requested a number of things before we could start off.

"Let us just leave now," I spoke up, while the three girls before me turned and glared.

"As I was saying," The eldest began.

"NO! As I was saying it's time to go, for if we don't we'll be late! And you know how mother and father HATE that!" I interrupted and spun away as the carriage set of at last.

The scenery was most exquisite considering I barely leave the castle. We were placed inside a large valley with grassy hills in the distance, large trees grew as far as the land went, small plants flourished about, and even though the weather was never nice, I loved my home. Kirina, Brunae, and Tillie sat very quietly as we drive into the far lands. Or at least that's what we called them. It was all grass for miles and the nearest town was nowhere in sight. That's when I knew something was wrong.

"So would you like to explain to me what is to happen at this ball?" I asked staring through Brunae. Her face became sickly pale as she flipped away from me. I faced Kirina next, who just humphed at me then looked out the window. Last I watched Tillie, who raised an eyebrow in impression and surprise that I'd figured it out. Well not exactly, but she mustn't know that.

"You want to know what we're doing at this ball?" she asked.

I nodded my head as she turned towards the window and sprawled her hands out showing the largest castle I'd ever seen. This was it, we were doomed. Lord or King Clavic whichever you prefer to call him had requested us, we were as good as dead.

Our parents met us by the door. Clearly nervous Mother's golden hair was tied up in a high knot, and her green eyes were filled with worry. Father stayed quiet his ebony hair falling into his brown eyes.

"So this is it?" I pondered breaking the silence barrier between us all.

"Yes," my mother's voice cracked as her eyes filled with tears.

I hung my head low, too terrified to look at my older sisters' outraged expressions.

"Why hello, you must be the Kindle family. Come right this way," I heard a low voice perceive.

King Clavic, I didn't have to look up to know that. I snuck a quick peek to see what I was dealing with. His eyes were a beautiful molten blue, and his hair was so dark that it was almost black. The weird thing was no one ever saw his wife, but word around was that she the most beautiful woman to have ever walked here, but that was just a rumor, it couldn't be proven. I followed them looking at the floor again, I didn't want to look at the castle.

"I have three adopted sons that would like to meet you,and well erm...one that's not..well never mind that he'll just have to wait," King Clavic grimaced and looked away from us.

My sisters were in a word, smitten. They were so excited to meet the handsome, amazing princes. Well I was not. I was either going to be betrothed to someone I don't love and possibly hate, or sent home with no honor left, because I wasn't chosen.

"Well King and Queen Kindle, I think that I can handle it from here, you are dismissed," voiced King Clavic.

My parents left so fast it's almost as if they were never here. I, of course would be left alone through this miserable experience. This was worse than any torture I could ever imagine.
