Let's not dwell on authors note and jump to the story! I have some very smart readers I must say!

FYI- This chapter is kind of informative, although I didn't want to address certain issues but it's about time you guys found out some of this.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORY'S PLOT AND CHARACTERS.

Who are you?

Unknown POV

I saw the plan unravel in front of me with perfection.

Like expected no Vampire could taste the poison, we had put in enough to affect a human fatally yet not enough for a Vampire to detect the taste.

Before she could collapse and hit the floor David had already grabbed her in mid air.

The look on his face was so priceless.. If I took a picture of it I would probably make some more bucks with the boss.

He shouted her name again and again and shook her a couple of times getting no response.

Her heart beat was so faint you could barely hear it.

In a flash David had picked Elizabeth up and vanished from the room followed by their immediate families; all of them looking distraught.

What. A. View.

I had to muster all my strength not to smile in this situation. Elizabeth's reaction to my voice was spectacular, better than I imagined in my dreams. I don't think she saw my face but the made up voice I used in her head was easy to use in real life too. If I had used my real life she probably would've figured it out by now.

There was chaos in the room as well, not knowing what to do or what would happen to them next.

They were all thinking who could possibly be such an evil genius to pull off something like this with the Royal family, I knew because I could get inside their heads, just like I had done with Elizabeth. It's a lot of fun having power to do something like this. Most would consider themselves crazy at hearing voices in their heads, messing with people was my forte. Maybe that's why I was such a vital part of all these plans.

Well, we made a good team while it lasts. Considering David was so involved with Elizabeth would the king force his hand in another marriage and would the prince agree? Devastated and heartbroken? More work for me anyway.

Many years ago the prince had fancied Samantha that ended up being brutal on him along with his sister's death and now this. Poor him, as much as I knew; in the long run our war was not with him technically, but he was the only way we could win this. Unlucky Ice prince, more like pathetic prince to get himself stuck in the same situations again and again. If I was in his place I would stay as far as I could from serious relationships with women. Why give them any power at all to break you up in ways you couldn't imagine!

Just by listening to the painful howls of David all the way to the ballroom you could tell that we had accomplished our task.

The disadvantage of working with such a big team (who were probably gleaming with happiness) was that everyone had their own aims and gains from working for the boss. It's hard to keep them all in line. Oh man I must text boss that it's done.

'Mission accomplished, target neutralized.'

I don't think we will be allowed to leave this room anytime soon so it's better if no one calls the boss, which would be like begging trouble to find you. I mentally projected it to all the members I knew of.

'That was not the plan.' I received a reply.

Exactly my point, with such a large group it's hard to control them. Especially after Samantha had been imprisoned; Of course that would piss a couple of people out.

'I expect you to keep our end of the deal anyway. It was one of the two optimum outcomes.'

I wasn't dumb. I knew even my boss had a boss; the master mind behind all these killings. The one we all feared for he knew no bounds. We didn't know his identity nor his reasons for doing what he did. We didn't even know if he was the one responsible for our beloved princess's temporary insanity. He has his sources everywhere, loyal to him and him alone.

That's how he picked us, at random. You wouldn't be able to link us even if you tried.

I got another message saying 'money transferred.'

True to his word, I checked my bank account and the money had been transferred. Like I said, everyone had their reasons; mine was as simple as money.

I don't bother knowing anything more than I need to. I'm just the messenger. I get messages that I need to convey to Elizabeth and that's all there is to do. Meh. They pay me well enough for it. Especially since no one knows about my powers and I am part of a very esteemed family so no one would point at me either.

No one would think that the son of a billionaire down to earth philanthropist would be involved in something like this.

Well the side cash was good anyway plus I enjoyed messing with people and the royal family was just the cherry on top. It had been fun every time. I was a good mans bad son. Plus it was always fun to pick a bone with David.

Bored, I tried to listen to everyone's conversations around me.

"It's devastating! It's happening all over again. Poor David"

While some showed concern and empathy others whispered; "I'm glad she's out of the picture, now maybe my daughter would get a chance with the prince and a shot at being the future queen."

While most mothers wanted their daughters married to our dark prince they wanted them to stay as far away from the other one as possible. Sloan had quite the reputation.

As we waited patiently in came the King and Queen looking more composed than they had left the room.

The king cleared his throat and announced "It seems that our champagne was poisoned but the good news is that Elizabeth is fine and resting for now thanks to our first witch. I hope you enjoy the rest of the evening however it seems that the culprit is within the castle walls, I suggest you all remain calm while we investigate and find out exactly who is behind these killings."

Damn her to hell! I was surprised at the little one making it. She surely was a fighter. While I was impressed with her it is certainly something not good for all of us, especially with this new investigation going on. However, they have never caught us before and they probably never will.

Since plan A, well technically the plan executed was plan B, we will just have to revert back to the original plan.

It will be easy, since the royals will consider us sloppy after our first attempt and they wouldn't know what hit them next.

I made my way to the royals and said to the King "It's a relief uncle to have Elizabeth back with us. We can't afford to lose another one, specially young Elizabeth, she is just so unique."

Uncle Edward gave me a hug and said "It is a relief indeed."

I know it was short but something is better than nothing right? :P

Will try to update soon and from Liz's POV, it's just that now that the story is reaching its conclusion it's a bit complex to write it and deliver it in the way I have imagined it.

Keep reviewing! Some of you guys have really touched my heart with your kind words like fiat124girl and I love to hear about what you guys have to say about my characters and story!

And aliibear23 faces are fine, I make them a lot too ;)

Love Zoe.
