My Way to Becoming Queen

Chapter 1

Have you ever tried to tell a guy that you love him, but were unable to succeed? Well this is exactly where I was at this moment. I wanted to tell the guy I loved that I loved him, but I was dating his twin brother. Maybe his twin might leave me. That is what I am hoping for tonight.

The maid just walked in and told me that he is sick. That means I get to dance with his brother. YES! Now all I have to do is find the perfect dress. What am I going to wear? Then I remember that I have that new dress. It is purple, deep purple, with lace sleeves and lace over the top of the dress. Yeah I'll wear that. I'll bet he will love it. Hey got to go and get ready for the ball tonight.

Oh and by the way the boys are princes, and I love Nathaniel not Matthew.

I ran to my closet. The maid had just come in to help me get ready. I pulled out the dress to show her what I wanted to wear. She nodded and then took my dirty clothes that I had taken off and handed her. She bathed me and dried me off. Then she helped me put on the dress. After that she did my hair so that I had many ringlets cascading over my shoulders and down my back. She then stood back to admire her work. She was always telling me that I was very beautiful and that is was a pleasure to be my maid. I went and looked in a mirror at myself and what reflected back at me was the person that she was always talking about. Then she left.

I then walked out and down the stairs and headed towards the court yard. When I got there Nathaniel walked up to me. He smiled very sweetly at me. The then he told me that the dress I was wearing was the most beautiful one he had ever seen and that it made me looked even more beautiful. I blushed. He always could make me blush. But my blushing made him also blush. We just stood there awkwardly until his parents came over and told us to go sit down. So we walked over to the table where he proceeded to pull the chair out for me. Then he sat down next to me. All through supper we talked with each other. Then when supper was over he asked me to dance. I agreed to dance with him. Then he took me out onto the dance floor and we started to dance.

We danced for a while on the floor and then eventually moved into the hallway. He kept me close and I felt safe in his arms. Then he whispered in my ear that he loved me. I pushed back from him. I reminded him that I was dating his brother. He nodded and looked sadly at me. He knew that and told me that that was why he told me in private. I looked sadly at him and confessed that I loved him too, but could not let anyone know. But that was too late. I saw his eyes change from blue to green and knew that Matthew was taking over Nathaniel's body. He glared at me and told me that it was completely wrong to like his brother instead of him. Then he left and Nathaniel's eyes went back to blue. He looked really nauseous. I decided that I had had enough for the night and told Nathaniel good night. Then I proceeded to my room.
