The Prince Pretentious Poposal

Annabelle stood under the stars in the garden as she turned her face towards the moon. She always complained about the insects that come here at night anything she and Ken come but now, she is not worried about that. Her mind is worrying about something greater, something that seems to disturb her more than any insect could. Her heart.

It was time for her to bow out or start disassociating herself from a married man or a would be married man.

The thought of Ken not being hers brought tears to her eyes as she bent down on the grass as if her legs couldn't hold her anymore then let out a huge sob, she cried for a long time, loud cries they were messy and unpretty, she imagined what Kendall would have told her if he had seen her like this. He would have told her that her cries look pretty. Her Kendall would have told her that there wasn't a thing that she could do that would make her unpretty then he would take it upon himself as a mission to make her smile.

Her Kendall was nothing more than a character the crown prince took on to escape his duty. Her Kendall doesn't exist, the prince even hates it when others call him Kendall and when she started to call him Kendall, his back teeth always grinds together but now, he just smiles and his eyes lights up.

Her Kendall was the crown prince these days but she didn't fool herself thinking that she is changing him. She knew the reason why her Kendall was always in display, it was because she was always on display and that led to Kendall always being with her because they were both on display and they had to sell the fact that they are in love.

A blanket was dropped over her shoulders and she let out a gasp as she quickly turns only to see one of the personal escorts standing behind her looking awkward.

" so you won't freeze. " he mumbled as he quickly moved back to his position as if he was afraid somebody will see him act soft. Annabell sighed as she continued to remain close to the ground. She would have believed that it was her Kendall that dropped the blanket if the crown prince was the one instead of the guard. She would have believed that a tiny portion of her Kendall exists in the crown prince but he wasn't the one. At this point, silent tears poured down her cheeks. She had lost so much...

First her mother, then her friends when they stripped her father of his position. After that she had lost her home and the love of her father. Her father longer cared on living, he just existed. She lost her school, her wits because she agreed to a deal with the prince, she just lost the jewels that was meant as her reward since she just failed and now the last in the long line of things she lost was her heart to a prince who had no idea that he has her heart all along which means he could break her heart and won't even feel anything about it.

As she cries silently she didn't raise her head. If she had she would have seen the prince smile sadly then walked back into the castle.

Fallon was angry when she traced Ken to the garden as saw what ken gave to the guard to give to Annabeth. Pathetic. Fallon thought as she watched Ken who in turn watched Annabelle. Ken turned away and went inside but Fallon remained there, she will have some choice words with Annabelle this night. Flynn would be angry with her but she was done playing nice girl to Annabelle.

After a while of waiting, Annabelle moves inside to go back to her room, Fallon stepped on Annabelle front as she stopped Annabelle from passing her.

" oh. Gosh princess Fallon you scared me. " Annabelle exclaims.

Fallon just kept quiet as she watch Annabelle smile at her. This b***h came to take Ken from her and she is still smiling. Before Fallon could rethink her action, she slapped Annabelle across the face and hearing Annabelle gasp of pain brought a small measure of happiness to her.

" ouch. " Annabelle cried as she touch her swollen cheek. She knows that she cannot raise her hand to hit Fallon back so she just settled for talking with the girl. " what was that for. "

" that is for the heart aches you caused me and you still acted like we are friends. " Fallon spat out with so much venom that Annabelle shifts back but Fallon stops her.

" you think that because you have his heart you could take my position. Position I was groomed for since I was five. Well it is a good thing that they put you in your place and that is second best. " Fallon gloated but Annabelle just looked at her.

Yes, she allowed Fallon to hit her but then again she won't allow the girl to go free, physical abuse is not the only form of abuse she thought as she listened in silence to Fallon rants but when Fallon said that she would have owned Ken heart one day if she didn't come along, she decided that she had enough of being quiet. " I am sorry your highness but that would be impossible. You had sixteen years to make him fall for you and all he ever did was run from you. I think he discovered that under that beauty is a rotten, ugly, proud princess. " Annabelle said as Fallon went red.

" what did you say... " Fallon hissed.

" you heard me. " Annabelle glared at Fallon. " or should I add deaf to that short obstruct list. "

" you w***e. " Fallon yelled as she raised her hand to slap Annabelle for the second time but Annabelle held her hand.

" the first one is free but the second one is going to cost you. " Annabelle told Fallon after she used her hand to put Fallon back.

" Fallon " Flynn asked coming closer.

" brother, she pushed me. " Fallon cried.

" you cannot play the injured party here. My escorts were here and they saw everything. " Annabelle smirked at Fallon as Flynn cut the sight of the hand print on her face. He sucked in a deep breathe.

" I am leaving now. " Annabelle said as she bowed to both Flynn and Fallon as she walked of with her guards looking at princess Fallon in disgust.

" what would you do that. " Flynn asked his sister as Fallon started to cry.

" I hate her. I couldn't pretend to otherwise. " Fallon weeps.

" well do, remember what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. " Flynn reminds her but more tears comes out of Fallon eyes.

" I don't want her alive." Fallon griped.

" then keep her by your side. Remember what mother always said. The best way to get away with anything is to make friends with the keeper. Then if the thing goes missing. Nobody will ever suspect you. " Flynn said.

" so does that mean that we will do something about her. " Fallon asks her brother.

" sure. Right now we are just bidding our time. " Flynn replied his sister. " when we strike, nobody will know it is us. " he promised.
