The rose petals were scattered all over the floor.With the room dimly lit,only torches on the wall were the source of light.
"It had to happen,"she whispered with great grief.
The young princess ran her delicate gloved fingers across the opened coffin.Her emerald green eyes were watery,pink silk hair pulled up in a small bun.Her hand found it's way to the silver heart shaped locket containing two small pictures around her neck.Clutching it tightly,she pushed back tears.Strands of loose hair fell in front of her face,her body shivering in sadness.
With a deep sigh,she couldn't look at the lifeless corpses before her.Turning around,she smoothed out her dress.
"Princess Rose."
She looked over at the person who's the voice belonged too.The guard stood before her in silver knight armor.
"Please,just call me Princess Amy,"the princess stated.
The guard nodded before flicking up the helmet,revealing a female.
"As you wish,"she said with a bow.
Princess Amy glanced back at the coffins before tearing her away.
"Blaze.What do you need of me?"she asked softly.
Blaze,the guard,slipped off her helmet.
"Miles needs to see you,"she informed her.
Amy cocked her head,then nodded.
"I see.I'll be there in a few minutes,"she said.
Blaze bowed again before leaving.Amy turned back to her deceased parents.With a single tear falling from her eyes,she closed the caskets and turned around.
"For now.This is goodbye....my parents,"she said softly.
With that,Amy closed the giant doors that now held her dead parents behind them.She walked down the halls with her dress lifted just an inch or two off the silk red rug.Her crystal clear heels made soft clicks against the floor,echoing in the silent hall.Her mind had thoughts flash through her head,especially the past memories of her parents.
'Why did this have to happen to me?'
Amy fought back more tears once she was close to more giant doors.Before opening them up,she cleared her throat and wiped some of the mascara that was running under her eyes.Amy gave them a slight push,the doors opening up easily.A crystal chandelier hung from the high dome like ceiling.There in the center of the room was a long rectangular table,similar to the dining table.
A young fox,about fourteen,sat in a chair at the end of the table.He may be young,but was very important to the castle.Amy also saw Blaze,her main guard sitting in one of the chairs.She greeted them with a nod before carefully sitting in a chair next to Blaze.
"You wanted to see me Miles?"
Miles,the fox,nodded.He cleared his throat and folded his hands.
"Before we get started,I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss Princess Amy,"he began,"But before your parents reached death...they forgot to mention something to you very important."
The word parents triggered something in Amy.Eager and curious to know much more,she leaned in slightly.
"Continue."
He made a stiff nod,"Your parents wrote up a will.And in that will states that they knew about their soon to be deaths..."
Amy's heart shattered,as if it had been stabbed repeatedly.
"W-what do you mean?"she asked,squeaking.
Miles tried pulling on a straight face,yet he couldn't help but feel sad for the young princess that he had known since his birth.
"They knew that they were going to be poisoned."
Amy's eyes stung as her hands gripped in the end of the table.
"They...knew?"
Miles nodded,"They did.However,the reason why King and Queen Rose didn't tell you was because of fear you wouldn't be able to handle it."
Amy shook her head,her knuckles turning white from clenching onto the table.
"They should of told me!"she said outraged,raising her voice slightly.
Miles sighed deeply,"I am terribly sorry.But in their will,since they knew about their death,they had planned for you to be Queen."
Amy blinked,"Me?Queen?But I haven't even reached twenty five yet!"
Miles rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"I too am not quite sure about this,but what they said is what will be done.Therefore your coronation shall be planned,"he explained.
Amy's head was spinning,how was she able to be Queen?It was much to early for her liking.
"Is there anything else I should know about?"asked Amy who was now light headed.
Miles nodded,"Um er yes.They also wrote in their will that before their deaths,they planned an arranged marriage for you for after your coronation..."
Amy's blood boiled as she shook her head once again.
"Marriage?They had planned this and yet didn't tell me?Preposterous!An outrage!"she spat.
Blaze shook her head,"It is true Princess,I read it myself."
Amy stared at her with giant sad watery eyes.She couldn't process what was going on.First her parents' death,then coronation,and now marriage?It was all hitting her to quick,coming in like a herd of wild cattle.
"I can't do this!"Amy cried out,"I can't!"
Miles looked at her sadly,"But you must!Do this for your parents Princess.For our beloved kingdom."
Amy stood abruptly,"I must get some rest.To take all this in..."
Blaze and Tails watched her walk out.Amy closed the doors behind her,tears now spilling from her face.She shivered with each drop,walking quickly to room,not bothering to pick up her dress as she went.Amy wobbled slightly,her legs feeling like sticks,as if they could snap any moment.Her vision was blurry as she saw her faded out door.A fourteen year old rabbit stood in front of it,wearing a maids outfit.
Noticing the tears,the rabbit looked at her with pity.
"Princess?Are you alright?"she asked softly.
Amy shook her head and walked past the maid.opening up her doors.
"Please leave Cream,"she choked out.
The maid,Cream,nodded and left with no argument.Amy slammed the giant doors closed.Her huge room was dimly lit thanks to a candle or two.She was now sobbing,her make up running down her cheeks and her once tightened bun was falling down.She threw herself on her bed and cried into her arms.Everything was falling apart.Confused,angry,and lost,she cried louder.
Amy knew she couldn't do this.She can't become a Queen,she can't be wedded.She wasn't ready,and now that her parents were gone.Who would be there for her every step of the way.Who would help her make decisions and tell her everything would be alright?These questions only made her cry harder.
A/n:Just warning you all!This will be a very sad book.But it will have its good moments!Just wait and read more!
