"You...want me to...WHAT!" i couldn't believe what he had just said. i cna't believe he would say that. i can't believe he would even pick me. Doesn't he even see how much i fight with Vincent? There is no love between us. I don't even know if i like him anymore. It's pretty obvious he doesn't like me at all. i know what you're thinking: you can't get over a guy that fast...but i kind of did. i guess there might be a little of something left oer but right now i don't even acknowledge it.

"I want you to marry Vincent." He said it so calmly it seemed like the king delt with this all the time.

I stared at him blankly not really soaking in the information. "I still don't get it."

"I don't know if i could put this any simpler, Hayley," the king laughed patting my knee."I want you to marry my son, Vincent." He droned out every syllable making sure i understand.

"Is this a joke? You really can't be serious!" i babble running my fingers through my hair. I still couldn't believe what he was saying.

"I am completely serious about this proposal, excuse my pun." The king was serious.

I groaned, rubbing my eyes. "Does Vincent even know about this?"

"Not as of yet, but i shall tell hi,m later tonight over dinner." He stood up. "I hope you should join us; we shall be having roast beef."

"Would't that be awkward?" i was speechless not able to comprehend what he was saying.

"Quite the opposite, my darling, it shall be a wonderful occasion." i grimaced. the King wanted me to be a vampire and now he wants me to marry one; i can't believe this is happening to me! "Cheer up, Hayley, this is a wonderful day."

I faked a smile and eventually the king left. I closed he door after him and then banged my head on the wood. 

This is so bad...

****************

I tried to keep my mind occupied for the rest of the day, but as usual it ended too quickly. I didn't know if i should go down to dinner. I would probably flip out again but start throwing things this tme. Shit, what about Vincent?! How would he react? He would probably kill me or something; me or his father.

Edward would probably be so happy because i would get to stay here for the rest of my life, or for eternitiy. I didn't want to get married; let alone to a vampire.

I just wanted to go home and patch things up with my mum, was that too much to ask for? Instead of living a normal life I'm living with royal vampires who want to change me and wed me to their son. No matter how many times i repeated it, it still didn't seem to sink in.

I didn't want to pdd of my host so i decided i would go to the dinner tonight instead of faking a seizure or something. Maybe if i get on King Richard's good side he'll let me go, or at least not let me marry Vincent. I couldn't even picture being his wife, i just couldn't.

Since i didn't have nay nice dresses in my room except the one from when the King finally fired me from maid work, i searched for the room that i used last time. It took me a while but i finally found it. When i entered the room i didn't notice that i wasn't alone.

"Hello, Hayley, How are you dear?" said a woman.

I screamed, jumping a foot in the air. "Holy Shit! You scared the living daylights out of me!" I put a hand on my chest feeling my heart beating hard.

The woman laughed taking of her half-moon shaped glasses. "I'm sorry dear, i didn't mean to scare you. Can i help you?"

"Um...I'm looking for a dress for dinner tonight," I answered. Who was this woman?
