    When my father and my mother and the guards left my room I quickly plopped down on my bed and let out a deep sigh while Alice chuckled.


    "What's so funny?" I asked as I looked up to see her


    "He is sort of right Angeline." she said


    "On no! Not you too!" I groaned


    "It's just... well maybe you should just forget about them...just for tonight. You've been stressing out since you received the note that they've disappeared... seriously you need to relax. Just forget about them, just for tonight." she said


    "I can't forget about them Alice! They're my friends! I just can't forget them like that like they're nothing to me. I'm not like parent's! I'm scared. I'm afraid that they might be hurt somewhere, and I'm just here doing nothing!" I exclaimed.


    "I know. But it isn't helping that your all stressed out like this."


    "It isn't helping that I'm doing nothing, and it definitely isn't helping that I'm going to a ball!" I yelled out to her. 'What if they're hurt out there Alice? What if they're being tortured by some physcho and I'm out in a ball having some 'fun'?!"


    She flinched. Startled by my response.


    "I'm...I'm sorry Alice. I didn't mean to yell out like that. I'm sorry. I...I just... I'm scared. I'm terrified. I don't want to lose. I don't know what I'll do if I did lose them. They're my best friends Alice, besides you. I just don't know what to do." I sobbed.


    Then she came to sit by me and started to rub my back as she let me cry on her shoulder.


    "It's okay Angeline. We'll find them. It's only a matter of time." she reassured me while still rubbing my back.


    About two minutes passed and I stopped crying and then she quickly said " C'mon! We have to get you ready for the ball! then she quickly grabbed my hand and practiculary dragged me to my closet.


    When we got to my closet she walked in and closed the door behind her and made me wait outside for her while she picked out a dress, shoes, and accessories. My closet is pretty big. It's actually a walk-in-closet,really. It's almost as big as my room...almost.


    As I waited I walked toward my nightstand and got my i-pod out and began to scroll down the list to listen to a song. As I was searching I found the perfect song, when I hit play "My Immortal" began to play and I started to sing along with it as I sat down on my bed.



    I'm so tired of being here
    Suppressed by all my, childish fears
    And if you have to leave
    I wish that you would just leave
    Cause your presence still lingers here
    And it wont leave me alone

    These wounds wont seem to heal
    This pain is just too real
    There's just too much that time cannot erase

    [Chorous]
    When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
    When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
    And I've held your hand through all of these years
    But you still have
    All of me

    You used to captivate me
    By your resonating light
    Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
    Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams
    Your voice it chased away, all the sanity in me

    These wounds wont seem to heal
    This pain is just too real
    There's just too much that time cannot erase

    [Chorous]
    When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
    When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
    And I've held your hand through all of these years
    But you still have
    All of me

    I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
    But though you're still with me
    I've been alone all along

    [Chorous]
    When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
    When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
    And i've held your hand through all of these years
    But you still have
    All of me


    This song...Emanuel downloaded it for me. He said that it reminded him of our past, of our childhood. He said that the lyrics remind him of the way he felt about me.He said that the song reminds him of how he treated me whenever I was afraid or when I felt lonely and how much I needed him as much as he needed me. I though to myself as a tear was rolling down my cheek. Emanuel where on Earth can you be? I need you.


    When the song ended Alice came out and had a bag, a shoe box, and my jewelery box in her hands. I quickly got up and helped her put down the stuff on my bed, then she quickly went back to my closet without saying a word and when she walked out again she had my make-up kit in her hands. As she put down the make-up kit on my bed she gave me a mischievous smile while I stared at her in horror. Alice knows that I can't stand putting make-up on myself.


    I backed away from her, glaring.


    "You wouldn't."


    "You leave me no choice Angeline, it's the only way for you to have fun tonight." she said evilly, with a sly smile on her face.


    "And how is that, exactly?" I asked


    "Well, mostly because I've heard from the other maids, that the King and Queen has invited the prince's of all the nearby Kingdom's. All the single, non-engaged prince's." she said evilly, while i just stared at her in horror.


    "I'm sure that the prince's would like to dance with the princess tonight especially if she's looking even more beautiful tonight."


    "Oh no. Please. Don't." I pleaded to her as I started to back away from her, but she kept on walking toward me until she had me cornered.


    "This could be easy, or this could be hard, Kathy, but one way or the other you are going to that party looking very beautiful that you will forget all about your friends and have fun tonight!" she threatened. I let a sigh in defeat.


    "Okay, okay. you win Alice, do whatever you want but I know that I'm not gunna have fun tonight."


    "You never know IfAngeline. You know what they say one night can change your entire life."


    "Funny I've never heard that saying before." I said grumpily "Just hurry up so I can get this over with." I said irritated, while Alice just rolled her eyes. Then she grabbed the curling-iron and make-up kit and pushed me to the chair.


    Then she went out the hallway and called out to a nearby maid. "Stephanie! Can you come and help me here!." Then my other maid Stephanie appeared.


    "What is it?" she asked


    "Can you help me with Miss IfAngeline's hair?" she asked innocently. God! She has bipolar issues!!


    "Sure. What do you want me to do?"


    "Curls mostly, you can be creative with the rest. And I'll work with the make-up."


    "When we're done with you you won't even recognize yourself." she said cheerfully.


    "Whatever." I grumbled. Stephanie got out the curling-iron and began her work and Alice then got out some mascara, eye-liner, eye-shadow, blush, and some nail polish, and began to do her work.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1 hour and a couple minutes later)


    It had been an hour or so since Alice and Stephanie started and Alice is still working on me and Stephanie left not too long ago. If I remember correctly the make-up should be done first and THEN the hair! Gosh what is taking her so long?! It's been non-stop with make-up. I always need a touch-up here and there, or at least that's what Alice said.


    "There...all...done!" she said as she finally finished and started putting everything away.


    'Finally!" I groaned. "Now. Let me see." I said as I started to reach for the mirror, but she yanked it out of my hand.


    "No!" she yelled out. "Your not aloud to see yourself until I'm done."


    "Why not? And I though you were already done!" I whined.


    "Because you just can't! And no not yet, I still have to get you in your dress. Now shush and be patient until I'm done" she scolded.


    "Fine!" I complained. "Gosh. Your starting to sound like my dad about this stupid party." I mumbled to myself.


    "What was that?" she asked irritated.


    "Nothing." I said quickly.


    "Uh-huh. that's what I thought."


    "Just hurry up so I can get this over with." I said


    "Yeah, yeah whatever you say." she said mockingly. "Now stand up so I can help you get onto this dress." she said as she grabbed a bag (which I'm guessing is the dress) and began to walking the middle of the room and waited next to the stool for me to stand on.


    When I stood on the stool I noticed that my full length mirror was missing.


    "Hey? Where's my mirror?" I asked Alice.


    "Hm? oh. I got rid of them, in case you cheated while I help put on this dress on you." she said evilly.


    "Oh god. Your really are going that far with this aren't you?"


    "Only because I care."


    "Yeah. Sure" I said sarcastically as she chuckled softly.


    It took bore than a half an hour to carefully put the dress on me without smearing the make-up or ruining my hair. Which, by the way, is a very difficult thing to do.


    I had to admit the dress was beautiful. the color was baby-blue with beautiful sparkles. It was amazing, I didn't even know I had this dress in my closet. But then again Alice must've snucked it in here and planned on making me wear it on a 'special occasion', without me knowing it. But I have to admit she has good taste in clothing, especially dresses.


    "Can I see myself now 'mom'?" I asked smartly, trying to hide my excitement and impatience.


    "Okay, okay, I guess." she said while throwing her hands in the air in defeat while she headed for the door to the hallway.


    "Guard! Can you please bring the mirror here now?" she asked one of the guards who was patrolling the hallway.


    As the guard came in the room carrying the mirror he looked at me and said...


    "Your majesty, you look beautiful tonight." I quickly blushed.Not because of what you all are thinking, i know he didn't mean it that way, it's just that I'm never used to people telling me that. I always feel embarrassed. Even when Emanuel said one time. It was really embarrassing.


    Alice, then shooed away the guard and then covered my eyes and slowly led me to the stool in front of the mirror.


    "Are you ready Angeline?" she asked happily, I sighed.


    "Yeah, ready as I'll ever get." Alice then uncovered her hands from my eyes and what I saw in the mirror took me aback.


    Staring back at me was a beautiful girl looking shocked.I moved up my hand slowly and the girl did the same. It was only then I realized that she was me. I couldn't believe it. I'm not one who is conceited and thinks their the hottest person in the world but I really did looked beautiful. I mean the dress fits me perfectly and it fitted my curves, and the make-up! The eye-shadow matched the dress and the eye-liner made my eye color pop out. Alice really did a wonderful job!

    "Well...what do you think?" she asked worriedly. I turned to her and gave her a huge hug.


    "Alice! Thank you! It's perfect!" I said happily. i turned back to the mirror and started checking if everything was okay with my dress, hair, make-up. Then a thought crossed my mind when i started to untangle two curls that got stuck together in my hair.


    "I wonder what Emanuel will think if he saw me in this dress." I murmured to myself looking down at the floor.


    "IfAngeline, sweetie. you have to forget him tonight. It's starting to get unhealthy. Please try to have fun tonight." Alice said quietly, with concern in her voice.


    "Yeah,...well... I'd better get going." I said quickly before tears come out of my eyes.


    As I was walking out the door Alice quickly called out...


    "I don't know where he is but I'm sure he would have thought you were beautiful!"


    "Yeah maybe he would've." I whispered to myself as I was going down the stairs.


    "Hello Princess. Are you ready to go in?" A butler asked me. I nodded my head in response


    'Emanuel where are you? I wish you were with me tonight." I thought to myself as the doors opened and the light from the ballroom shone out before me.
