Rebel Queen

Chapter 9

~oOo~ Ellie's POV
I woke up the next morning to the slight shaking of Riker.

Riker: Get up sweetheart. They'll be here in 3 hours.

Ellie: Okay dad. (Acting, don't worry)

At 7:45 we heard a knock at our door. Jenny rushed out from the parlor with a lace rag. Of course I was already perfectly ready from head to toe, but that didn't stop the nerves. 2 guards asked me where my luggage was, and I pointed them towards my room. Silently they came out with a small box that held a necklace and a bag of books, and asked if that was all. I chuckled silently telling them that was it.
Within 5 minutes we were out the door, and saying goodbye. There were it seemed like 20 cameras pointing in my direction. I turned to Riker giving him what stemmed like an affectionate hug. He then started speaking which I knew was code for kill the prince as soon as possible.

Riker: Be careful baby, I love you. You'll always be my little girl.

A camera came within 10 feet of us catching snippets of our conversation.

Ellie: I love you too daddy. I promise I'll ask if I can call tonight.

A guard signals to another closer to me that it's time to go. He taps my shoulder and whispers in my ear.

Ellie: Thank you sir. Bye dad.

I give him another affectionate hug, and let myself sit down in the car. While the door shuts I can hear the faint screams in the distance get louder and louder as we drive on. The guards have positioned themselves around the car to avoid any problems.
As we approached the screaming I saw dozens of signs with my name on them. Slowly the car came to a stop outside the front gates so they could open slowly.
As we drove up I looked out of the window once again. The sight was breathtaking, as my gaze drifted upward I saw the palace was at least 8 floors maybe more and built with the shiniest quartz you've ever seen. Two towers sat high above, glittering like jewels in the sunlight. Sitting in the middle was the crest of Vetia. Carved into the granite was an emblem of two bodies one a woman and the other a man. They were embracing, symbolizing peace and unity.
My eyes slowly flickered to one of the 6th floor windows. Inside was a man in a black suit. He was watching as our car rolled up. The door then opened, and a hand offered me help.
When I stepped out I gazed up at the man, and we locked eyes. His dark brown hair and hazel eyes were very enticing. I noticed his jaw had dropped, and I pulled my gaze away to start walking up the front steps. I caught out of the corner of my eyes, him staring, and at that point I wasn't sure if it was because I found him so easily or my beauty.

I forgot at the beginning to tell you what she looked like. Here you goooo.
Ellie has dirty blonde hair, sea green eyes, soft porcelain skin, and looked as if she only ate an apple a day. Her shape was perfect everything a man would ever want. Her beauty was like no others, even better than the queens. Everything was perfect about her.

I pulled my gaze away again turning it towards the big oak doors. Engraved on either side was the man and the woman who when the doors were coming closed looked like they were walking into an embrace. Walking up the granite steps watching the doors open to reveal Mrs. Caily. She gave me a warm smile and walked right over.

Mrs. Caily: I'm so glad you could make it ahead of schedule! From now on you may call me Caily. When you stepped through those doors you became a deity of Vetia. Your duty now is to serve the prince, and become his queen or ... Well if you don't become queen you will know what you become.
