I always dreamed of being a princess, Then it came true...

MOM!!!!

They book let out a passport and a jewel.  Along with a note. ~ Do not let your father see this jewel.  Take this passport and hide it, then contact me when you are completely alone from a phone that is not yours. Love mom~.  I took my aunts home phone and called my mom.

The phone is ringing and i am so nervous i swear i got sick.

"Hello?"

"Mom its Anastasia."

"Honey! You finished the book finally. And just in time.  Sweetie are you alone?"

"Yes.  I am at Gina's.  Dad was having one of his family get togethers."

"Oh.   Well in that case.  Go home and pack your bags.  And leave as soon as you can.  I will have a plane ready and a driver to take you to the airport in 15 minutes."

"Mom, i'm three hours away from home.  Dad moved."

"Get on her porch and wait outside. i will have a  driver their in 10 minutes.  Show him the jewel and he will know what to do.  Also what is your new address?"

"Okay.  But dad and the witch will have a fit and call the police."

".....Well then i will make it seem like you have been called to go to a boarding school and had to leave imedantly because of your behaviour in the eye of the public."

"Makes sense.  i will be waiting on the porch."

Rule number 12, always make yourself seem bad in the eyes of your enemies.  So when the time comes it wont be a shock.  I made my way to the porch and sat on the grass.  I pulled my hair in a bun, made my face a little more soft with some powder and then put some lipgloss on.  I saw the white limo pull up and the man told me that my mother had sent him.  I showed him the jewel and we made our way out.  I couldn't help but eat the little mints in the bowls on the seats in the limo. 

I didnt get a chance to see the mans face before i got in the car.  He sounded young enough to be at least 16.  I was 15.  The car had stopped to get gas.  He got out of the car and put the nozzle in the cars gas door.  He had dark brown hair, blue eyes and he was really tall.  He was not buff, but not to skinny.  He got back in the car and stared out the windshield.  I rolled down the window separating the driver and the back of the limo.

"Hi" i said a little nervous in case he was a "Top secret serious guy".

"Hey"  He said as he turned his head around to look at me.  His eyes were very blue and pretty.

"Can i move up front?  Looking back at me to talk isn't going to be comfortable after a while.  And partially illegal while driving."  I wanted to talk to him and see what he was like.  He was cute, and i wanted to be a friend.

"I dont see that as a problem"  he said as he let out a soft laugh.

"So."  I said while sitting down. "whats your name?"

".."  No answer.

"Come on, at least give me your name.  You have 2 more hours with me.  The least you could do is give me your name so i can talk to you."

"Jake."

I sat there for a moment and buckled my seat belt. "Well Jake.  Nice to meet you. I'm Anastasia."

He turned to look at me and said " Nice to meet you too"

He got out to finish the gas process and pay.

"So, can you tell me why my mother wants me so quickly and where I'm going?"

He looked at me and then said "Your going home first to get your things.  Then you will be on a plane to Italy.  Next you will end up in the castle.  And finally get crowned Princess."

I sat their and laughed for a minute.  And then realized he was serious.  Me? A princess?....  I stopped laughing and he continued to speak.

"The best part is, I'm your travel buddy."  He seemed excited but was trying to hold it in.

I knew this was the start of a whole new life.
