ANTHONY POV*****

I shake my head at Rhett before looking down at the heels Leslie just thrown at me.

"She's something else huh?" Rudy says chuckling to himself.

I grin in agreement, "yea-she's crazy." I frown slighty thinking how pale she looked.

"I...ugh think I'm going to go check on her." Rhett narrows his eyes before nodding his head dismissing me.

"Yes please do...and tell her as an assistant she needs to be here next to me."

I roll my eyes strolling out ignoring him.

He soooo likes her.

I grin using my senses picking up Leslie fresh scent. A mixture of vanilla and flowers. I follow the scent all the way to the garden.

I nod at the guards walking out the big doors hearing laughter.I see Leslie smiling at a adorable little girl who keeps picking flowers.

Leslie follows her stopping to smell some flowers.

I use my speed and appear behind her, "Leslie."

She jumps and turns eye wide before softening, "oh hey Anthony," which guickly turn into slits. "you can't do that anymore, scaring me I mean." She huffs her cheeks turning slight pink.

I throw a smile at her, which usually melts any girl but she just rolls her eyes. She changed her outfit, much to my dismay. Rhett forced her to wear it a part of him because if her talking back to Leslie but I know he secretly loves it.

I have to remind myself Leslie is not like every girl.

"Leily..who..is this pretty man?" A voice says from behind leslie.

I turn and stretch my neck seeing a beautiful child with dark short curls and dazzling grey eyes. Leslie picks her up propping her against her hip.

"Eva, this Is Anthony..."

Eva I now know scans me skeptically, "he's a wvampire huh? He's to pretty."

I let out a warm chuckle. "Yes, I am a vampire but don't worry I won't hurt you."

Eva raises an eyebrow as if saying "I don't believe you big guy." I've got to give props to this little mini Leslie.

"Don't worry Eva he's my friend, he won't do anything," she glares at me, "and if he does he knows I will kill him."

I merely smile thinking how she innocently admitted I was her friend.

"And who are you?" I ask Eva.

"My little sister." interjects Leslie holding her tightly.

I nod, "do you like the garden?it's pretty huh?"

"Yes...we're having a tea party and Eva here is the princess , and this is her garden, for at the moment." Leslie whispers knowing I can hear.

I grin at Eva, "Well can I be the prince?" she stares at me not blinking.

Gee tough kid.

I look around the garden noticing some flowers and grab a yellow dandelion. I bend down in front of eva and Leslie.

"This is a token of my love for princess Eva. Now can I be your prince?" Eva finally smiles at me her dimples showing "ok!!" she slides down Leslie grabbing my hand steering my to the gazebo where an kind old lady is sitting staring at us.

I follow her surprised and turn around seeing Leslie with a shocked face as well.

I turn around grinning down at Eva as she tugs on my hand almost tripping over her two feet.

"I see "

I whisper to Ms.Harris  before getting out the chair stretching my legs. I've been here for 2 hours and much to my surprise I actually am enjoying it. Even being a grown man at a tea party. With the constant blabber of Eva and the kind old lady who hasn't had an easy life as well.

"Eva darling let's clean you up. Anthony please tell Leslie we went inside to get Eva ready for dinner." I nod at her as she walks off with Eva.

Leslie quickly got over her shock and was having a tea party with us until about 30 minutes ago before walking out too the garden.

The sun is slowly setting creating a stunning scenario in the sky.

I walk to Leslie seeing her laying on the large patch of grass staring up at the sky.

I grab a white rose on my way to her stopping besides her seeing her hair layer around her like an angel. I do something I never thought I do. I lay down next to her, her scent engulfing me.

I stare at the sky admiring the mixture of colors.

"Beautiful isn't it?" She asks. I hum in agreement even though I see this all the time.

"I never got to see it like this...where I lived..to dangerous when the sun starts setting." she breathes. I frown forgetting she hasn't always lived here. Rhett told me she was in a bad place before.

"I..well to be quite honest I seen this millions of times.." I admit and her lips tug up in a small smile.

"I know Anthony." She turns to me winking her long eyelashes making her eyes dopey and soft.
For the first time she looks carefree.

"Your sister is special, which I'm sure you already know."

She looks up at the sky again. "Yea she is...she everything I got besides Ms.harris but if ..if anything were to happen to her..I don't know what I would do...that's why I'm here."

I smirk staring at the clouds. " a princess that's for sure."

"It doesn't hurt too be a princess once in awhile and believe in fairytales."

"You can be one." I counter and she chuckles.

"There's to much pain in this world to become one...and besides I wouldn't be a princess I'd be something else?"

I turn my head to her "like what?" She stares at me curls in her face-she really is a gorgeous human.

She smirks at me "Anthony I'd be a queen because I get my shit done."

I laugh at her.

"Truee...I mean you can be an evil queen because there always Bitches."

She gasps "Thank you -that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me." she flutters her eyelashes innocently.

I roll my eyes before using my super speed hovering over her seeing her eyes wide.

I smirk at her and wink putting a white rose on the side of her ear seeing her cheeks turn red and her heart beat quicken.

"See now you are officially a queen." I laugh at her and lay back down.

She mutters something like "too-good looking blue-eyed vampire and his speed."

I grin at the sky.

"But...the thing is...fairytails and princess and Queens don't exist..not now."

She frowns her eyes saddening "the way society is now....there's no such thing as happy endings. No prince charming will save you, you have too fend for yourself. The world is filled with savages (vampires), cruel people, bad events that their is less happiness..that your FORCED to dream of fairytails...that's why I wear an invisible crown..you can't see it but I know it's their because in my darkest moments I know I am powerful in my own way and that's keeps me pushing forward to a happy ending-I guess you can say. Besides every happy ending is on the last page. I'm only in the middle of my story."
