What the heck?

What was Martha talking about? Killed? Betrayed? Oh wait a minute...

Adalyn.

But how does Martha know about Adalyn. She lives in Russia anyway. Did Martha hear things about her from Alex?

I don't know, I think I need to rest a little before the coronation.

I walked down to the gardens, to the secret door in the very back of the woods. It had always been my private garden. Sometimes Sadie and I would hide out there.

I unlocked the door and slipped inside.

Sadie was sitting on the bench by the fountain crying and holding a letter in her hand.

I rushed over and sat next to her.

"What's wrong Sadie?"

"Nothing," she muffled through a few sobbs.

"It's ok you can tell me." I placed my hand on her hand and let her head rest on my shoulder.

"I might be moving back to Russia. All of my family has been captured. My little brother Griffin was poisoned an if nothing is done, he might die in a few days. My mother wrote to me that some new queen has been doing these things to people all year."

Oh my gosh. Who would do such a thing.

New queen? Who was now ruling in Russia?

"Hey, it's going to be ok. Did your mom say who was ruling?" I think I have an idea who, but I couldn't be sure.

"She said it was someone named..." She looked down at the note before speaking again. Her tears had smeared the writing and it was hard to read. After a few seconds she spoke again.

"It looks like Allison Costa. It's hard to read." I toke the paper from her hand and studied it.

Yep, just as I thought; Adalyn Costa. I didn't want to worry Sadie, so I told her I had no idea who it was. She would be scared to death if she found out the person who is torturing her whole family, will soon be marrying the king of Portugal; her cousin Brayden.

I am not the comforting type of person and didn't know why advice to give her.

I came up with something but I think it sounds cheesy.

"It's your home, your family. Just follow your heart, Sad." I think I'm doing pretty good.

"Thanks but, I can't leave you I mean-"

"No, you have to be there for your family. In fact I am going to get you a flight there idmediatly."

"Are you sure Ty."

"Of course. Now start packing your stuff."

Before you could say coronation she ran out of the garden with a smile on her face.

I checked my watch.

10:36. Holy diamonds I am going to be late.

I ran back to the castle like my life depended on it. It kind of did though. If I was late to Alex's coronation she would kill me.

"Hi Barry. Bye Barry," I said as I passed the butler.

Once I got to my room and pulled out my new dress.

Wow, I thought. I had never owned a dress this beautiful. Suddenly someone burst through the door to my room.

"Hey can Elliot's bbfk stay in your room for the week. Pretty please," Alex whined in a rush.

"Slow down. Sure he can stay I guess. Where an I going to- wait what is a bbfk?"

"Best bro from karate. Duh." She gave me the you are the stupidest person in the world look.

"Oh ok that makes sense." Honestly I have know idea anymore. "Ya he can stay. What is his name."

"Colton James." The bame sounded familiar. Maybe at school? "Does he go to Charlin Academy?"

"I think so," said Alex. "Anyway, I have to go get ready for my coronation. EEEE!" She sqealed so loud I had to cover my ears.

Later that evening I walked down towards the ball room for the reception party. It was so crowded I could hardly see.

I squished through groups of people and made my way to the royal family's table.

Ding Ding Ding. Brayden clapped his fork and cup together to get eveyone's attention.

"I would like to make a toast." The entire hall became silent, wanting what the new king had to say.

"I want to thank my parents for helping me always and to my new wife Adalyn-"

Uggg I grunted.

"- for making my smile everyday." There was a wave of awws coming from every which way.

"Even though she is not here right now I know she is very proud of me."

"Who says I'm not here." Adalyn walked through the doors of the hall dramatically. "I don't want to miss my king making his toast to his kingdom."

Alex whispered something to Sadie.

Sadie's jaw dropped and I could see tears streaming down her face. She got up and ran out of the hall.

Oh crap. She knows.

"Really Alex, great going," I mouthed to Alex from across the table.

"Have I said something?" Adalyn continued talking, clearly seeing Sadie run out of the hall. "You know she looked quite like a boy named Griffin I recently met."

"Thank you Adalyn for those words." Brayden didn't want to draw too much attention to the situation. "Now raise your glasses with me to the coronation of your next generation rulers."

Everyone raised their glasses and toke a sip of their drink. Except for me and Adalyn.

Everything after that happened to fast.

Everyone in the hall passed out, the lights turned off, then back on.

Adalyn ran over to me.

"What happened?" She said.

"Like you don't know. You poisoned everyone!" I accused.

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you- where is Alex?" Alex was missing.

"And Brayden's crown!"

"What did you do to my sister?" I was just annoyed now.

"Nothing."

"Really? You tried to kill her once before."

"I swear it wasn't me."

"Whatever. Lets just find Alex and get the crown back."

"Ok."

We walked out of the hall and started to search the castle.

"I think I might know where she is Tyler."

"Ok you go and look for her. I am going to go look for the crown." Really I was going to find Sadie. I should be the one to tell her everything.

But where to look?

I know where she is!

To the gardens!

Hey readers!!!!!!!!! Do you believe what Adalyn said about her not doing it? Why?

Please comment I will read all of them!
