James! That's not fair you can't always pick the book" cried Anne

"Yeah James, as your older brother I believe you should let the other kids pick for once" John stated

"Okay kids that's enough how about I let Auntie Kenna pick the story" I said

"Mhhh okay how about the story of the Queen and her ladies" Kenna said with a smirk looking at me.

"Yay" cried Anne and Kenna's duaghter Rose

"NOOOO" James, John, My son Tristan yelled

"Hey stop it now, tomorrow's story is about all the kings men and him, now lay back in your beds a listen" I said sternly

"Okay, now my story is about the Great Queen and her lovely ladies. The queen was very young and beautiful and loving and her ladies were just half as good" Kenna laughed

I laughed a little but deep down I was sad. To think of myself 8 years ago and to see myself now. I love the kids and wouldn't change anything about it. It was to see Mary be torn down the way she was, I wished it was me and not her. Never did I want her to be broken and no one deserves to be broken the they way they broke her. And Lola, my god Lola!
Tears start to brim in my eyes she was killed saving Mary something we all would do. And I look at John knowing he is the bastard son to a dead king. There's nothing wrong with being a bastard son, nothing. But to have two parents gone is hard to bare. And Ayhlee she died so young, God why did Clarissa have to push her. I just look at me and Kenna and think about us when we first came to the French quarters and look at us now. In a little town near.

We were so innocent, so easy to control. And that's what makes me sad. We were picked at one by one, some by death 6ft underground and some living it.

The only thing that brings us joy are the kids John who is 7 and Tristan, James, Anne and Rose who are all 6. And our lives are so much better that their in them.

"Greer, Greer?"

"What! Sorry I was thinking about something" I smiled back

"Auntie Kenna is telling us that the Prince loved the queen at first sight"
Exclaimed Anne

"Yeah and that they were arranged to get married" cheered Rose

"Yeah right, who loves a person at first sight" mumbled James and John at the same time.

I laughed, if only they knew their father was that man.

"Wow you got to that part fast Kenna, hahahah. Well it's true children, he loved her and she loved him so much that when you saw them you could feel the love they had for one another" I say recalling Mary and Francis walking into the room and filling it up with love.

"How do you know that Mom" Tristan said sarcastically

"Well precious son of mine, I've met the prince and queen a long time ago" I say proudly

"Wow really did you aunt Greer" Anne said excitedly

"Yes I did, me and Auntie Kenna" I smiled at her

She weakly smiled back I can guarantee she's remembering all the good and bad times.

"Isn't that right Kenna" I insisted

"Mmh yeah. Your right Greer, I remember meeting the young Queen and Prince. It was when the Queen and her Ladies first came to the castle after years of not being there and together" She said smiling.

"I remember that day" I sighed with a tiny smile recalling those memories

"See even Auntie Greer is remembering it" she exclaimed

"And so I remember seeing the queen get out of her carriage and the ladies waiting to see their beloved best friend. And then, they reunited with a big caring hug laughing and cheering." She told

"Then they all turned to see the King and his son walk out of the castle, soon came the queen after. The Young Queen waited to see the prince she new she were to wed and the ladies impatiently asking where he is. Then there.
Here comes the Young Prince with his crystal blue eyes and his golden curls walking towards his future wife. And then they stopped and gazed at each other and they looked at each other with love as if they had been married years and years with one another."

"Auntie Greer!" John, James, Rose & Anne chimed

"Yes" I look down

"Did the prince have eyes like us?" James asked

"Yes James, just like you and Anne and John. But Rose has the eyes of Kings other son" I said feeling an ache. If only you knew your their children and if only bash knew she was his daughter and not another mans.

"What about like my hair, auntie?" Asked Anne

"Yes dear, just like yours and James. But your hair is raven like, my love. But that's okay the Queen have raven like hair too!" I replied

They smiled at one another they look like Francis & Mary also Lola.

John had his fathers eyes and curly hair but the color of Lola's hair.

James & Anne where the exact same with his eyes and curliness but the raven hair was beyond of Francis, it was Mary. It was her.

"Please mom & auntie please continue the story" piped Rose

"Okay well where was I, oh okay and so they stared at each other with such love the castles people felt it even the ladies did. But then they talked with out any pauses or stops. They talked like they were the only was there. Then the prince took the queens hand and they began to walk towards the castle and the ladies followed behind."

"Thats true Greer I was there too" Kenna says smiling to the kids

"Mom what else happened to the Prince and Queen?" Tristan asked me

"Well dear there's more but not for tonight"

"Okay everyone to bed" Kenna demanded

We hear awes and then they all said their goodnights.

"Goodnight children" we whispered

And then I shut the door.

"Greer, thank you for helping me tonight with the story, they weren't believing it" she laughed

"I know, but when they get older their gonna need to believe it more then ever"

"I miss the good old time Greer. I miss when we first came to the French Quarters, things were so much easier" Kenna sighed looking down

"I know that too, I miss everyone Ayhlee, Francis and Lola. And the way Mary & bash used to be" I say with a tear slipping down my
cheek.

"It's so hard without them, it feels like there's this huge hole in my heart and I can't do anything about it" she cried

And we sit there crying for everything and everyone we lost.

Dead or Alive

There gone.
