Has it really come to this?

Anne's POV:
I sent for my cousins and wrote a letter to a dear friend of mine named Katherine Petrova and also wrote to a childhood friend who was now in France married to king James, It has been two weeks since my miscarriage the king is more distant with as ever I just know he's finding a way for my death, although I plan on getting rid of Jane I must hurry but I need to be smart and careful if anyone was to find out I was guilty for her death ....it would be treason.

I wrote my first letter to Katherine who lived in Italy she had a high station but she wasn't a Queen or Princess nor a duchess for that matter but she was smart.

'My dear friend Katherine. I know it's been awhile since we last wrote but I fear that my life may be in grave danger due to me losing another son, I feel haunted in these castle walls by the memories of me and Henry they leave, I worry for my life and family I wish for you to respond to me as soon as you can for we are friends. This isn't a letter from a Queen but a letter from a friend.

Love Anne Boleyn '

'Queen Adriana. I write to you in need of your help I fear that the king is trying to find a way to remove me from the throne and declare our marriage annulled this worries me as we both know that won't be easy. Unless he can prove me of treason I am innocent of any rumors I do not love any other man except my husband. I need you to make sure my daughter is well cared for , if the worst is to happen I hope to hear from you soon.

Queen Anne'

After writing my letters, I sent them off as I sealed them with our royal she is, I stood up as I heard my two cousins be announced I dismissed my ladies telling them to leave us as I then watched them all leave shutting the door behind them , I let out a breath and look at my two cousins  Kenna and Audrey Boleyn. Audrey looked at me worried as she took a step forward.

"Anne what is going on?" She asked cleary seeing i was on edge, I look back and forth between the two.

"I fear my life may be in danger , I needed to make sure if my plan fails my daughter Elizabeth is well taken care of as she is only one years old and a half ." I begged them as I held back the tears in my eyes.

"Anne of course we shall take care of your daughter if anything was to happen to you

"Anne of course we shall take care of your daughter if anything was to happen to you. But why worry so much? I heard the king has been to busy to even look at lady Jane " Audrey spoke as Kenna nodded in agreement.

"He's busy planning my death. I know he is , I hear whispers at night from my ladies discussing that they are being questioned for what they know with my relations with other men , I mean can you believe that ?! Me ?! Have an affair you would think the king has went mad." I spoke laughing at the fact he is trying to make it seem like I have committed adultry.

"Anne....calm down you sound like you're under alot of stress right now you need rest" Kenna spoke as she pushed me towards the seat I turn to face her.

"I can't rest....not until she's gone Kenna ...." I sat down rubbing my head with the tips of my fingers. "She will be the death of me and I of her."

Henry's POV:

I sat in my chambers at my desk thinking of Anne, I opened the locket of her face inside my heart raced as memories flooded by remembering the years of our love. It really has been seven years....and yet only one year of marriage.i sighed shaking my head "this is why I need her gone now. No one has been an eyewitness to anything.Except one man had came froward claiming he has had Cardinal relations with the Queen but it's not enough evidence we need at least witnesses. "

I looked at the locket my mind being taken back to the moment I first met her and the first time she told me she was pregnant with Elizabeth my beautiful daughter ....Jane could be a good mother to Elizabeth and Mary I believe, I told Jane to start planning our wedding as it would be happening very soon , I had a lead all I needed to was gather more evidence.

It was decided I would have Anne killed for treason my plan was now in motion my men were gathering witnesses right now as I sat here thinking about court without Anne. I soon heard the noises of laughter filling the halls outside the sound of Anne's voice I decided to go out and see what the fuss was about, I saw Anne chasing after George smiling and giggling asking him questions , he to looked happy many people followed after them smiling and giggling as well happy to see their Queen look so happy it made my heart leap seeing her act in such a way.

Jane looked over at me as she was among the rest of Anne's ladies , I made Jane leave the position of Anne's ladies after the miscarriage so she wouldn't have to put up with Anne's bad temper and jealousy, she didn't need to feel guilty about Anne losing the baby I finally realised it wasn't my fault to her losing the baby it was Anne's fault. Jane watched George and Anne running she blushed slightly which made me curious but then I realised she could probably feel my eyes on her, she looked over at me with a smile she curtsied in the distance before following the crowd.

I smiled back before heading back into my chambers where I could still hear Anne's beautiful laugh and voice , I looked out the window and saw a carriage arriving i looked down at Anne standing next to her brother and father who both looked pleased her looking so confused. The way her father treats her sometimes make it seem like she is just a chess piece apart of his game and plans to keep her on the throne. I don't trust that man one bit never have so I must find a way to take him down , I have heard many bad things about him it's up to me to find out if it's true.

One of the things I heard was the Thomas purposely put Anne in my sights knowing she would catch my attention which she did and I do not regret as she has brought me much joy and love in my life of course these few months that's been different, but I won't forget the love we shared. But once she's gone I will refuse for anyone to even say her name especially to Elizabeth. I hope that this will help me forget about what I'm going to do to her.

Anne's POV:
I was in my chambers with my ladies sewing as usual until my brother ran in with a bright smile on his face, I looked up at him confused to why he seemed so happy "George?" I said his name confused , he looked at me as he caught his breath before he spoke out at me.

"You need to come see this !" He walked over to me pulling me to my feet , I smiled at him giggling as it had been rather down around here recently seeing George so excited brought a smile to everyone's faces as I soon became just as excited.

"Hurry Anne!" He yelled as he ran out the chambers I looked at the ladies smiling I bowed my head at them telling them they are free to do whatever , I ran after my brother the two of us running down this hall laughing.

"George what's the meaning of this?" I asked trying to catch up to him he looked over at me smiling.

"you will see!" He yelled happily.

We soon stopped outside of the castle where a carriage just stopped , I looked at George confused as I breathed heavily I looked back at the carriage as I placed two hands on my hips confused to what was going on, I felt someone stand by my side I looked up to see my father with a smile on his face. The carriage door opened as I turned my attention back to the carriage door  ....that's when I saw her.... Katherine Petrova.

 Katherine Petrova
