As we drove towards the house,the road was filled with trees and the smell of the sea.The jet lag did not kick in yet.Bella have been very quiet throughout the ride not even talking to her cousin who peacefully sat at the front looking out of the window like me.The temperature had dropped and cold winds were blowing.The sun was still above the horizon.The scenic beauty was out of the world.After about an hour we reach a big city gate which opens imediately.The area is filled with the voice of vendors,laughters,children's running,laughing,screaming.All in all the place looks like just another small city or town.After another twenty five minutes the car pulls up in front of another gate,but this time beyond the gate is a big castle surrounded with guards.

The castle was very disney like and lit as the sun had completely sunk below the horizon.The guards rush to open the gate and the driver pulls the car in the driveway.(The picture of castle below).

The car finally stops and the nearest guard opens our door

The car finally stops and the nearest guard opens our door.I look at Bella to check whether she was alright or not but she was already getting out of the car. Bella comes to stand along with me as we ascend the steps to the castle.As soon a we reach the castle doors it flews open and a small body rushes towards Celine.I take a look at Bella again to see her smile."Mom,you are back." The body seprates herself from Celine and beams at her.This must be Celine's daughter Athena.She had the same blonde hairs and features as her mother's apart from her eyes that were black in colour unlike Celine's green.Celine tells her something and her head turns towards us.

She grins at us and walks towards Bella,"Hii Aunt Bella and Uncle Edward." She doesnot give a hug to Bella which does not suprise me as Bella is the least huggable person in the world.We both mumble out a hello to her.She looks at me and then squeals,"You look exactly like a Prince Charming."and turns towards Bella,"A prince fit to become your king when you become our Queen." our queen? I smile at her but turn my questioning gaze towards Bella who looks as confused as me.Great even she is confused!! 

"You are right Athena.He does look like a King fit for B." Our heads snap to the oak doors where a man with white hairs walks towards us.He walks with authority and complete ease,his green eyes were sharp and filled with knowledge,the way he held himself did not leave a shadow of doubt that he was Nona. Bella and the others bows to him and i try to copy them.Bella gives a snort at my try at least she snapped out of her gloomy mood. 

"Whats with all the use of the word QUEEN along with my name? Usually you guys just use bitch."They all share a glance with each other as if they knew something that we didn't and then Nona speaks,"Nobody would ever use the word bitch with your name Bella." Hearing this i convert my laughter as a cough they surely don't know how much i love calling her with that name. They all look at me with concern as i fake cough but Bella's eyes dance with mischief,she gives me a grin and mouths the word Asshole. 

"Umm all the sexual tension could be relieved if you would move into your bedroom." Celine comments.Her comments reminds me of Em a lot."We will see you at dinner table" Nona walks in and we all follow his lead. Athena parts ways with us as she heads to her room and we head to ours.The castle had so many hallways that i was sure to get lost if i ventured here alone.But the halls looked like something out of the movies of Kings and Queens.The walls covered with portriats and pictures.
