I walk down the stairs letting out a yawn. It was eight in the morning and I couldn't sleep anymore. I walked to the kitchen and was about to open the fridge when I heard my grandma.

"Good morning Hazel."

Without looking at her I open the fridge.

"Good morning."

A frown came to my face when I realize that I live alone and that my grandma is in Terraite.

I close the fridge and turned around. There she was. Standing in her normal clothes that she always wear around the house.

"Grandma?"

She smile nodding her head.

"Hello Hazel."

She open her arms and I walked in them to hug her.

"I missed you."

I hugging her tighter.

"I miss you too sweetie."

She pull away and brush some hair our my face.

"What are you doing here. Not that I want you gone or anything."

She laugh shaking her head.

"I'm here because of your birthday of course."

The smile disappeared from my lips remembering that it's my eighteenth birthday today.

"Why so sad sweetie. It's your birthday and you need to celebrate it."

I gave her a small smile nodding my head. "I know it's just that I'm not in the mood to celebrate anything."

She let go of my cheeks before taking my hand.

"I know honey, but you can't be sad forever." She lead me to the living room.

We both sat down with her still holding my hand. "Because it's your birthday I need to tell you something." She said in a serious voice which made me panic.

"I don't have to defeat someone do I?" She shook her head with a chuckle.

"No sweetie you don't have to fight today." I relax a little know It's nothing bad.

"Because it's your birthday and you're the princess of Terraite. We decided that we should throw you a ball."

With frown brows I looked at her.

"A what?"

She patted my leg nodding.

"A ball sweetie. You know where you dance and talk to people. It's normal for us to throw them. You're maybe not use to them, but we have them a lot. People from other lands come to them."

A ball? Like in fairy tales? Great.........

"Grandma I don't know if I want one. I'm not really a people person or a party person."

She shook her head.

"Hazel you have to. It's a tradition that you have one on your birthday. You're dad when to them when he was your age."

I let out a deep breath knowing that she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Libby and Connor can come too. It's going to be good for you to be back in Terraite. The people want to see their princess again and I need you to meet someone."

I frown my brows again being really confuse.

Someone?

This can't end well for me.

My grandma stood up and smiled down at me.

"I know I'm the princess and stuff, but why do the people need to see me? I'm alive."

She laugh shaking her head.

"They know you are, but there are people who wants the throne sweetie. Very powerful people from Terraite that wants to take over. "

I frown my brows looking at her. People want the throne? I thought they were all nice there and that they respect my grandmother.

"But why? You're a great queen."

She straighten her skirt raising both her brows before looking back at me. "I know sweetie, but it's not about me. It's about who's gonna be queen or king after me."

I know that my dad would have been king after her, but because he's dead he can't. And then there's me. I can't become Queen of Terraite because of my power. I won't be as powerful as any of the other kings and queens.

"Grandma if this is a party to show them that I will be the next queen it's all wrong. I can't become one. You said it yourself, I won't be as powerful."

She nodded her head before taking my hand in hers. "I know, but if they see that you'll there they will cool down a little. They don't know that you can't become one."

So basically we're saying that I can become one even though I can't? I don't want to lie to the people, but I think I don't have a choice.

"How am I gonna get there? I can't  just walk through all the lands again. It will take me days."

"Just teleport. You don't even have to be in Meadow to teleport to Terraite."

That's really easy.

"I'll see you tonight and you don't have to bring any clothes for tonight. I have everything. Same goes for Libby and Connor."

A cold breeze when through the room and before I knew it she was gone in a light blue light.

I let out a sigh.

Being a princess really suck right now.

"So we're going to a ball!" Libby asked exiting.

We were sitting in the kitchen talking about tonight. After my grandma left I call them and asked them if they wanted to come over. When I told them about the ball and my grandma I could tell that Libby wanted to go really bad. It didn't surprise me, she loves doing these things.

When we had school dances she would plane everything from months ahead.

I nodded my head looking at how exiting she was.

"Oh my god!" She clapped her hands squealing.

I look over at Connor who was shaking his head at her.

"I guess you don't want to go either."

He looked at me raising both his brows. "Oh I want to go. I wanna see you in a dress and dressed up."

I glare at him shaking my head. "We need to go shopping because I don't have a dress for tonight."

Libby said taking my hand dragging me of the counter were I was sitting.

"Uhh Libby you don't need to. My grandma would take care of it."

"Thank god!" I hear Connor mutter behind me.

I smile came on my face, but I didn't look at him.

"So when will we go?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know, but I think you need other clothes first. It's gonna be really cold there."

I pointed at her dress. She nodded her head before turning around.

"Come on Con!"

I turn around and watch how Connor stood up and walked towards me.

"Did you tell your grandmother what happen yesterday?"

I totally forgot to tell her that.

"No I forgot, but I will tell her tonight."

He nodded his head.

"Connor come on!"

Libby was already out the door.

"Go before she's going to drag you out the house."

He playfully rolled his eyes at me before walking away closing the door behind him.

I walk to my room trying to find some warmer cloths. I'm already cold how am I gonna survive it in Terraite?

"So do guys have everything?" I asked Libby and Connor when I came down the stairs.

"Yes we have our warm clothes on and have some others in our bags." Libby said showing me the bag in her hand.

"Good."

I'm really not looking forwards for it. I'm not really into dancing and stuff or into the whole princess thing. If I could I would gave that title to someone else.

"So how are we gonna get there?" Libby asked looking at me and Connor.

"Well..." I said dragging the l.

"You're gonna teleport us isn't it?" Connor said in a sigh.

The first time I teleport us we landed in the snow and Connor landed in a pail of snow. It was funny.

"Yes, now come here and give me your hand."

He stood up taking his bag from the ground. I took their hands which to my surprise were much more warmer than mine.

"Ready?"

They both nodded their heads before I closed my eyes.

Here goes noting.

I thought about Terraite and the familiar glow came. Our feet when from the ground and a second later cold air hits my face. I open my eyes and saw the yellow light disappearing.

Our feet touched the ground and I could hear the snow underneath our feet.

Ha I did it!

We didn't fall this time!

"You're getting better at this." Connor said letting go of my hand.

"Hey don't act all surprise I know what I'm doing."

He laugh shaking his head. "Sure..."

I glare at him before looking around.

Snow was falling from the sky hitting my face. Quickly I pull up my hood of my jacket to get some warmth.

I saw the castle a little bit further and was happy that we were close.

"Come on let's go. I don't want to freeze here." Libby said walking ahead of us.

I look at Connor we was looking at his sister. "Did you already found something about your family?"

We began with walking behind Libby who was a little bit further ahead of us.

He let out a sigh. "Oh I found something."

I frown my brows when I hear the sadness in his voice.

"Is it bad?"

He nodded his head.

"It depends."

Now I'm more confuse.

"Do you wanna tell me?"

He looked at me shaking his head. "Not today. I don't want you to worry about it now. Let's just survive this things first."

I smiled nodding my head.

I'm glad he want to tell me.

I wonder what it is and why it can be bad.
